Restaurant in Stoke

“Really enjoyed our meal Tonight. We ordered from Work and went to collect, it was ready within 15 minutes and was very tasty. I/we were impressed. We had Beef Curries and Egg fried rices with Mini Pancake Rolls and each portion fed 2 people. Again, very tasty, friendly staff, and very quick.”

“A beautiful place to stay with a host in Simon who makes the experience of staying even better. The location is perfect for visits to Stoke on Trent and there are a host of great local pubs to eat at within 20 minutes. Breakfast was ideal and would recommend the oatcakes! Would love to stay again.”

“Lovely little boozer. Absolutely what a pub should be. Decent price for a pint and busy due to that.”

“Super friendly cafe always accommodating and good quality food for low prices”

“I was in need of lunch, having travelled to Audlem for work. I had an awesome sandwich, proper freshly made. Good service, nice coffee. I appreciated the warm welcome and the piece of tiffin for the drive home rounded it off nicely. Many thanks.”

“Lovely place and friendly staff! The food was very tasty and enough for a full meal! We will definitely come back!”

“I visited Feast at 10am on a Monday morning with my daughter. The cafe felt clean, fresh and bright. The atmosphere was lovely with music quietly playing, local newspapers available to borrow and staff attentive but not overbearing. It felt like the kind of place I could’ve spent a while enjoying my delicious and hot coffee and cherry sourdough toast without feeling uncomfortable at all. We will definitely return!”

“Loved the food, travelled all the way from Birmingham just for the pindi bites, was worth the Journey. Loved the service and the food presentation. Would highly recommend”

“Food arrived quickly and still very hot.It was one of the nicest and tastiest meals I’ve had and lots of it . The rice and naan were yummy too.I thoroughly enjoyed it.I will definitely use you again.”

“Always a pleasure to go back here. Food is amazing and staff are lovely”

“I was visiting Stoke and looking for somewhere to eat tasty and healthy vegan food - i found the right place! Everything was home made, delicious and served with love. The portions were massive! The best falafel wrap iv had in a long time (and I eat a lot!) Really enjoyed eating here and speaking to the boss if I'm ever in Stoke again il be visiting here for sure.”

“Has vegan options. Great food and not oily. We’ve had a few takeaways from here and so far so good. If the quality changes so will my review but I must say tonight’s takeaway was the best of a good bunch. We have used this takeaway for nearly two years now. The food is still amazing and the customer service excellent.”

“My wife had a prawn cocktail starter, which was full of prawns. The sauce was very good, brown bread & butter. I had the Spanish meat platter, which was lovely. Mains were fish & chips, ham chips, fried eggs, old school. Service was 1st class.”

“A really nice dining experience. And unusual. The fusion of the very modern main dining area and the more traditional snug really works. And how the huge dining area has been broken down into different character areas is very clever. The menu has variety and both our meals were something new to us and delicious. The service was excellent as well.”

“Stopped in here after a trip to the local Blaze farm with our toddler. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the place was very modern and clean. The food menu was very good with lots of choice. I had a steak and red wine pie and it was delicious, my wife had a fish and chips without fault and our son had a burger and chips. They gave him the option for beans or peas and as he couldn’t decide gave him both at no extra charge which was a nice touch. Not expensive for the quality, service and setting. Highly recommend if you are in the area.”

“Family meal for my wife's Birthday and our 25 wedding anniversary. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Definitely be going again soon”

“Beautiful authentic Italian pizzas and they even made a vegan one for my mum. All such friendly staff too! We are very lucky to have a shop like this in Tunstall and I hope people support them.”

“A lovely place for food and coffee! Staff were very friendly and lovely to chat to. The homemade tomato soup and lemon meringue pie were delicious!”

“Had an amazing Baby Shower here for my daughter. 3rd December, SNOW Chris and the team went above and beyond to help. The venue was superb and afternoon teas were catered for all needs. (yummy) We can't Thank HEATH HOUSE FARM enough . Wonderful setting and great staff.”

“Very good little gem. Visited today for dinner, and greatly surprised of the quality of the pub. Inside it is absolutely spotless clean, atmosphere very cosy, and staff friendly. Food was 9/10 and service also, this due to not being double checked after we had our mains, and the veggies were microwaved and not fully cooked. We’ve noticed all the food comes on a plate, but chips and veggies separate which is a new thing and we couldn’t decide weather is working or not, as we had to share a bowl of chip’s between us. I totally recommend the pate, chicken goujons, and the pie for the main. The pie was cooked perfectly, and the beef was very very tasty and soft. Puddings 9/10, again, custard seemed to be microwaved and had some lumps inside and a jelly texture, but only few places are doing dessert in the house nowadays so its totally understandable. We’ll definitely be back as it was a worthy experience. Very good prices for food but also for the drinks considering the current markets. Thank you.”

“Been several times and excellent food every time. The lambs liver was full of flavour and moist, staff are always very friendly. But always gets very busy so booking recommended”

“I would share a photo of my Roast of the Day bap, with a generous amount of tasty beef and loads of crispy roast potatoes, but I’ve eaten the lot! This place is special. The welcome is genuine and caring. And the bread and butter pudding was delicious. I managed a quick pic of that before finishing it.”

“first time visited, arrrived 1:50pm on Wednesday, all desserts are £5 only. the service was good and the food that we ordered were tasty. buffalo chicken wings almost charged £1 per wing. the confit belly pork, steak pie and sea baa were delicious. both crumbles and sticky toffee pudding with custard were values for money (£5 per dessert on wednesday)”

“Glorious views from a wonderful pitch on the old orchard. Lovely site overall, with welcoming owners who provided local info and walk suggestions. Not just quiet, but a peaceful site where the owners are sympathetic to the local wildlife and natural environment. We had owls and bats to watch/listen to at night, and a butterflies and birdsong during the day. We walked to Rudyard lake, although didn’t manage to find a route without a short stretch of road walking. A fantastic escape, would highly recommend.”

“The restaurant turned out to be a hit. A cozy, welcoming place with a charming atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the desserts melted in our mouth.Service at The Reform Inn is unmatched. The staff was attentive, ensuring everything was perfect without being overbearing. Their attention to detail made us feel like a VIP's!””

“Lovely cosy coffee shop with friendly staff and a great selection of homemade vegan cakes and seasonal drinks. Feels really homey and comfortable - some folks on laptops, some chatting and others enjoying a quiet moment. Well located for the train station too.”

“First time we've visited Shrewsbury and we stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant. I had the leek, gorgonzola and honey pizza which was so delicious I didn't want my meal to end. Staff were lovely and the whole experience was amazing. We'll definitely come back!”

“​The Habitat: Atmosphere and Environmental Fitness ​The environment of 'La Lanterna' demonstrates a remarkable adaptation for conviviality. The lighting levels were found to be optimal, avoiding both the harsh luminosity that might signal danger and the deep gloom that impedes accurate species identification. The overall ambiance—the combination of visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli—created an environment of 'Great Atmosphere', which is crucial for the successful ingestion and digestion of resources. ​The collective murmur of conversation among fellow consumers suggested a high degree of social satisfaction within the population. ​The décor and spatial arrangement demonstrated an intelligent, calculated use of resources to promote comfort and repose, thus aiding the consumer in focusing maximum energy on the task of consumption. ​Hypothesis on Atmosphere: A pleasing and supportive environment reduces the consumer's physiological stress, likely enhancing the perceived success and enjoyment of the culinary offering. ​The Symbionts: Facilitation and Service ​The indigenous personnel responsible for the delivery and explanation of the specimens—the service staff—displayed a highly evolved degree of efficiency and beneficial interaction. Their performance may be classified as 'Fantastic Service'. ​Efficiency: The speed and accuracy of resource transfer (the food delivery) exhibited a high level of learned behavior and organizational skill. ​Adaptability: Requests for minor deviations from the standard specimen preparation were met with flexible and immediate responses, highlighting a key trait of behavioural plasticity essential for pleasing a diverse consumer base. ​Communication: The interactions were polite and informative, acting as crucial intermediaries between the kitchen's production and the consumer's need for knowledge regarding the specimens. ​Hypothesis on Service: The facilitating species (staff) exhibits a successful symbiotic relationship with the consumer. Their competent actions maximize the consumer's enjoyment, thereby increasing the likelihood of resource return (patronage), a crucial factor in the establishment's long-term survival and prosperity. ​Final Synthesis on La Lanterna ​La Lanterna represents a highly successful ecosystem where excellent culinary specimens (Gnocchi Gorgonzola and Steak Pasta) are presented in an environment of Great Atmosphere and facilitated by Fantastic Service. This convergence of high-quality internal and external factors ensures the enterprise's evolutionary advantage in the competitive landscape of the urban dining habitat. ​ Outstanding.”
