Steak house in Stoke

“Ordered a takeaway for collection for first time as we had friends round. Come to collect and was greeted by a lovely woman jacqui who looked after us. All the staff were very pleasant and went above and beyond. Food was amazing, best Chinese I’ve had and friends said the same. Would highly recommend to everyone who loves a Chinese!!”

“Been meaning to write a review for ages... this place is stunning and so are the owners, staff and food. Sophia and the team have an incredible job as custodians of such a beautiful and historic building and throughout lockdown they have shown strength and resilience beyond measure to keep it open and thriving. It was the only place we had takeaway from during lockdown, I think it was about 8 times in the end- amazing fish and chips. We were delighted to be able to eat in properly and each time the food and service has been perfect The menu is exquisite, wonderful fusions of flavours and presented like a piece of art! The 7 course tasting menu that should have been our NYE celebration, took place in May after lockdown and it was stunning and a much needed very special treat for my husband and I. I want to get there at lunchtime and enjoy the beautiful garden before the end of the summer!”

“Extremely good food. Service was exceptionally quick, I’ve never had food on the table quicker than this place. Great Christmas meal and also Indian food too. The staff were funny, helpful and accommodating and it’s overall a brilliant place with very tasty food! Will come again soon, most definitely!”

“Service has been amazing. Nice and cool on a hot day, thanks for that. Food has been very good. Cocktails varied and novel. Can see why it is busy, and why everyone has a smile in their face. Price is decent, probably on the slight higher side, but certainly worth it. I’m not from around here, but I’d come back if I was, and can see why the locals frequent here. A little treasure on the Staffordshire waterways!”

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

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

“My wife and I visited here for our wedding anniversary and we loved it. The staff are really friendly and polite. The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. We loved the little "Snug Room" we sat in. Very cosy! Would definitely recommend for a drink or meal. They have various specials on too, like curry night. Will be visiting again in the future!”

“Lovely place to dine in, the foods are delicious as usual. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice.”

“An excellent venue, with well-tgought-out decor, a lovely ambience, great service and very good food. Well worth a visit. It's in the Manor House Hotel where they also have a spa and a swimming pool (apparently with a swim-up bar!) so you could tie the experience in with a getaway break. We didn't, we just ate, but it was a really nice place to go and reasonably priced, too.”

“First time we have been to the Foodshion, we will be back! The food was fabulous, the service just what you want, the right balance. And finally, an establishment which knows how to treat customers, they presented the bill WITHOUT adding a gratuity automatically! Well done, shows respect. I left a 12.5% tip, it really does pay to have the right etiquette. Thank you!”

“Toffs is a wonderful cafe right in the middle of Hanley. It's got a gorgeous terrace facing south meaning you've got sun all day. I had a latte and a baklava, probably the best I had in my life. And the family who runs the business, they are the friendliest you can get - you won't get a better welcome and service anywhere near. Will certainly return.”

“OMG ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! They may have thought I was joking when I said "Give me loads of chilli sauce on my kebab, I like my food to bite me back, definitely not white girl spicy, I like phals." The look I got when I asked for more chilli sauce, and he replied 'don't blame me' spoke volumes. However, I loved every bite! The meat was perfectly cooked, the naan, spot on. Still nice and hot even after I hiked down the locks to my boat. The guys loved their pizzas too, but being 14 inchers, they left half each for tomorrow, (lightweights haha). Only passing through the village on my travels, but I'll be back and definitely order again. Best kebab ever! Kicked my home town favourite, never before beaten into second place!”

“Our friends held their Wedding here and it was lovely. The staff were excellent and the food was awesome. we were lucky to have one of the hottest days of the year, so spent most time in the Garden which was also beautiful. Great day and what a fantastic wedding cake!”

“I will be honest, the last time I went to PDP it was horrendous. There was no atmosphere, they got our meals wrong and it was just genuinely bad. Fast forward to yesterday and it was INCREDIBLE. Back to its normal self. The food was immense, they were so hospitable for the kids. Well done everyone. You made a very poor experience previously, become an excellent experience now. I’d highly recommend here. Such a beautiful restaurant.”

“I was there with my family. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. This was my first visit but it will not be the last. The food was really good. The soup came with two different meat, chicken and shrimp but I believe the base of the soup was the same. I enjoyed the soup but chicken was a bit dry. I ordered noodles and two orders coconut rice one egg fried rice both very tasty. The main course ordered , duck, 2 prawns and one chicken dishes but I later realised mum’s dish was chicken as well as mine but suppose to be a prawn dish. I asked, the staff to change mum’s dish. I wasn’t happy with my chicken dish but I had it, duck and prawn dishes were very tasty. We didn’t have any desserts but beer was pretty good be honest. We were full and loved the taste. Thank you Art of Siam I’ll be back !!!”

“Third time here and they never disappoint. There’s a fixed two course menu for Wed, Thu and Fri which is even better value than normal. Nice selection of cocktails and mocktails for me the designated driver. Cannot fault anything here.”

“Great local pub, very nice food & great beer. The cod & chips with curry sauce are very nice. Breaded brie and chips also recommended. Lovely welcoming atmosphere. We go here every other week and enjoy it very much.”

“Fabulous location a stones throw from the golf course and cricket ground. Really close to Newcastle and not a million miles from attractions like Waterworld or Alton Towers. The main draw though is the strawberry picking nearby. You cant escape the rural location when the 12 and 13 year old tractor boys walk around. The food though and the decor are first class. Whilst sitting waiting we watched 10 or 12 different meals come out and we could have ate every single one. A big recommendation from me.”

“From the greeting on arrival to the moment you leave this place is fabulous. The atmosphere is great, the staff friendly and attentive and the food and choice excellent. Highly recommend. 2 courses for 4 and drinks £135.”

“Vickie was an amazing server, super friendly and kind. Food was perfect and so was the atmosphere xox 11/10 10000% recommend and will be back”

“The White lion is a hidden gem, I only discovered it recently. Two real ales and all the other lagers you come to expect. It's very clean inside and out, a well kept pub. Food is served but I haven't tried it yet. Large beer garden to the side, and a covered over area with seating. Well worth a visit.”

“Farima was our waitress this evening, She was friendly and helpful with regards to our nut allergy needs. No task to hard checking ingredients for us. Aswell as taking us a photo together with our food. We've been a few times here and food is always exceptional and so are the staff. Warm and welcoming as always thankyou for a lovely night!”

“A traditional pub, recently taken over by new landlady from another thriving town centre pub. Good selection of drinks, friendly staff, clean and welcoming. Open fires for winter. Easy access to the train station and other Macclesfield pubs, restaurants and bars.”

“Fabulous meal, the best food I've tasted for a long time. Could not fault anything! So much choice, so in the end went for the shallots with ham, the Roast lamb as a main, which just fell off the bone, so tender. And if you fancy a pudding but don't want to be overfaced, go for the small dessert and hot drink. Would definitely go again and recommend.”

“Boothroyd agrees that this a good place for an old King to drink. Surprisingly large pub with a rear patio. Boothroyd decided on a pint of draught Bass. Very good traditional ale. Sat in the strand twixt bar and garden, close to the Throne Room. Enjoyed the music.”

“We had Tom as our server. Confident and friendly. Made an amazing salted caramel cocktail. Lovely atmosphere, with welcoming staff”

“Great place, great service but someone has changed their closing time to 1am. We went in and they were lovely and did us a takeaway instead. Top guys buy they close at 11pm”

“Called in and ordered 4 takeaway Sunday Lunches. The pub was busy, but the staff were very friendly and accommodating.Had a drink whilst they were being prepared. They were well packaged, stayed warm in transit and tasted delicious.”

“We came across this pub after a day an Alton Towers, when we arrived we was greeted with lovely staff and atmosphere. Ordered some drinks and decided to stay for food. Ordered steak which was cooked to perfection. And a pork schnitzel which was full of flavour. Everything came out piping hot. Ordered 2 sausages for my daughter who doesn’t like peas and chips and they reduced the price for this reason. Lovely wine too. Couldn’t recommend this place anymore. Was our first visit and definitely won’t be our last!”

“Had a party for a retirement celebration. There were 14 of us and we complicated things with last minute changes to numbers due to sickness. Staff couldn’t do enough and everything went very well and smoothly. They re-set the table and made space for 2 prams for our newborn babies. Nathan was our allocated waiter and took the time to go over the changes to the pre orders, last minute changes and allergies to ensure they were all correct. Great food and service. Lovely atmosphere too. A wonderful afternoon.”
