Pub in Stoke

“A very old tiny little pub, struggling to keep up with the modern pubs of today. No meals ... Just a great little boozer for sampling a great pint. Keep these authentic little pubs open, by going along and helping to support them. You might find some great conversation instead of food and wi-fi. You might really enjoy a proper handpulled pint too.”

“Very clean cosy room . Probably the hottest night ever so the large fan was most welcome . Currently sitting in the courtyard which is a nice area. Very nice kitchen area for guests use . Here for my granddaughters graduation .”

“Lovely pub had some good night's in here. Great drink offers and fantastic atmosphere :)”

“The Lodge has triumphed again this weekend with a great music afternoon and footy in the evening (shame about the result). Carl and Sarah never disappoint, great owners and hosts with their fingers on the pulse when it comes to quality and variety of beer, a constantly changing choice whilst retaining the firm favourites that customers favour. Such a lot of transformational work has been carried out here both internally and externally, a great place to meet friends and chat with regulars. Last afternoon/evening ran like clockwork so well done to all your hardworking staff who support you. "Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came" from the theme tune to Cheers for those old enough to remember it! So "Cheers! to Carl, Sarah and all the staff.”

“Great food, great beer, the best company you'll ever meet, and the finest rum and coke in the area. You can do no better than the Blue Bell when it comes to everything you want from a pub. If you get a chance to attend the beer and cider festivals, that's a must.”

“I had an exceptional experience at Sanctuary in Hartshill. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff are incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring that every detail is taken care of. Whether you're stopping by for a coffee, a meal, or just some time to yourself, Sanctuary delivers on all fronts. The quality of the food and drinks is top-notch, and you can really tell they care about the customer experience. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone in the area!”

“We were passing and called in for Sunday lunch. The food was superb, well cooked, large portions, beautifully presented and for a very reasonable price. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.”

“Turned up with no booking. The staff promptly found us a table and served us drinks whilst we looked at the menu. We both had chicken roast dinner which was absolutely delicious. One of the best places I've visited for a roast all homemade and very substantial. Worth a visit if your passing through Nantwich”

“Called into the Oddies for a cheeky one. To find out they are having a mini refurb of the garden . New roof and floor on the Pergola with the fantastic addition of heating. My wife was so happy , a fatastic area outside to chill and chat with our friends , all while keeping warm for the nesh ones :-) We have visted on numerous occasions the food is exceptional , bar staff are very welcoming. This is a must visit for people new and old to the area.”

“Such a pleasant place to come too for a pint, as the duck pond and surroundings are relaxing and you can get a coffee/sandwich from the cafe next door!”

“Very nice pub with loads of ales all brewed on site, pub has events on every couple weeks, staff friendly and Ste the gaffa is nice bloke always ready for a chat. They do sausage rolls and cobs and cakes and hot drinks would highly recommend. would highly recommend.”

“The most perfect wedding venue. From the outset of booking this venue Jose was there guiding us through everything we needed to know - not just about the venue, but advice on photographers and the actual ceremony expectations. The venue and grounds are simply stunning, you’d have never known we were so close to Stone centre! We were very lucky to get married outside and it was breathtaking, our wedding breakfast took place upstairs and it had its rustic charm with the beams and wheel, again, with lots of our guest commenting how lovely it was to see the character of the building. The food was unreal, one of the biggest compliments post wedding we got was about how amazing the food was especially the paella! Jose, his sister and all his family & workers that help run The Mill truly make it the wonderful, stress free and magical place to get married. I cannot recommend this place enough!”

“We came for the Sunday lunch carvery, generous portions, home cooked and really good. The pub is a ‘proper’ pub , cosy and welcoming will come again .”

“A archetypal country pub in a beautiful rural area. It’s a little tucked away so you’ll need your nav to find it. Once there you’ll not be disappointed. The staff are welcoming and the food is wholesome pub favourites. They also do a fabulous Sunday lunch menu, you’ll have to book to ensure a table. On a Tuesday it’s a Mecca for bikers. They provide brilliant fast food, usually curry’s, burgers, and loads of chips. Its usually packed buts there’s plentiful outdoor seating. I’ve been to the bike meets, and for Sunday lunch. It’s one our favourite country pubs, give a try. Highly recommended.”

“All perfect from beginning to end, shown to our room which was clean and smart. Good selection of beers in the bar itself. And the breakfast was simple but more than adequate for the onward journey. Top marks all round.”

“We have eaten lunch on the Friday & Saturday. Atmosphere was lovely. We didn't feel rushed. Staff went above and beyond perfect food”

“We had an excellent meal in their restaurant. Attentive staff, great flavoured food and very well kept beer.”

“Just spent a lovely peaceful 2 nights at the Leek C&CC and really did enjoy our short break. Well laid out location with a mixture of sites. Friendly staff and well maintained and spotlessly clean facilities. In fact nothing really to fault and everything to praise. Would recommend and will visit again.”

“Nice pub with a lovely vibe, decent beer and friendly staff. The Sunday roast is affordable and good quality.”

“We stayed in our camper van overnight here , had a lovely welcome from both hosts Jenny and Lee , bar comfy and friendly , had a fabulous meal in the evening which was hot freshly cooked and huge! Bar staff and waitress very attentive, had gorgeous breakfast following morning , highly recommend this quaint pub and we’ll definitely be returning”

“This is becoming our favourite restaurant now. Just so much choice on the menu alone, besides the daily specials. Staff are always so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the food on offer. I also visit with a disabled family member, and staff are just beyond amazing with them.”

“Fabulous little micropub just off the main road in Buxton. Good selection of ciders and beers that are well kept by the efficient and friendly staff. Brilliant atmosphere, cosy and friendly. Very dog friendly. If you like beer & dogs, you need to try this place ! Sadly I'm allergic to dogs so can never stay for more than about half an hour before I need some fresh air. Always pop in though when in Buxton !!”

“Fantastic food. Helpful, friendly staff. Absolutely recommended. We'll be back soon.”

“This was a wonderful place for us 'old timers' to have a long overdue catch up. Each of us was delighted with our meal, friendly service, happy to let us tweak our menu choices a bit, great value for money. Two of us aren't likely to be in the area again but the other 2 will return with family. Highly recommended!”
