Wine tasting experiences in Stoke-on-trent

“Kate Jones, you need to get a Solero and calm down, though I suggest you dont get it from Castle Stores. This is a nice place and I do appreciate it being on my doorstep. I guess it it a little more costly, but the convenience is well with the meagre price inflation. Thanks.”

“Excellent shop and great customer service from the staff. They are very knowledgeable about the products and always have a smile. So if you are in this area or passing through,,then call in.”

“Good price for the products and good deals and customer service”

“A proper oldie pub defo worth a visit”

“First time to this eatery, we had a shared platter between myself and the wife and we were not disappointed. For dessert I had the walnut sponge with syrup and vanilla ice-cream, and my wife had the orange sponge with syrup and vanilla ice-cream, with deserts were excellent. We will be calling again very soon.”

“1st visit here today. Lovely homely pub and nicely decorated too. Staff are friendly and food was home cooked and really lovely too. Well priced and a nice place for a bite to eat.”

“Enjoyed a great concert at this quirky venue. We saw Spizz Energi. The sound was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“Today we were celebrating my sister’s 70th Birthday and what better place to accommodate 19 of us? Some of us had been before but others hadn’t. The ones who’d been before for the Sunday buffet couldn’t wait to come again and the others thought it was ideal. From start to finish the staff were friendly & efficient, the food was fantastic, couldn’t fault it. A really enjoyable way to celebrate a 70th Birthday with family. We will be back.”

“5 stars for this place beautifully clean very friendly atmosphere and the food , well what can I say ...... spectacular!!!. We Will definitely come again . Also draft beers very nice .”

“Had a small wake here after a family funeral. Food was great sandwiches, chips, pork pies, quiche, home made cake, tea and coffee. Great staff, great refurb pub. Would not hesitate to use this as a venue again.”

“Couldn’t really fault it. Excellent beer, great service. Traditional style pub very close to the train station. Friendly to away fans. Will return if ever in stoke. 40 minutes from the football ground.”

“The food was outstanding and the staff were excellent definitely be going there again.”

“Great local, entertainment on most days.”

“Great quiz / bingo on a Wednesday night, had a brilliant night. Good prices. All staff were lovely!”

“Lovely country pub, Ron and Brenda are very welcoming, lovely atmosphere.”

“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.”

“Visited here with family between Christmas and New Year as we were staying nearby and needed a dog friendly place to eat. We were more than impressed :)) The atmosphere was lovely with log burners in the front part of the pub- making it feel cosy and festive. The young girl behind the bar was lovely and friendly- as well as some of the local punters who were in there- they made the effort to chat with us and play with our little dog. The food was tasty and fresh and were generous portions. Would definitely recommend visiting here if you’re nearby. We would 100% go back!”

“Not been here in years & went for an anniversary meal after a disappointing holiday away. Main menu a little expensive but 2 for £20 offer makes it affordable. Food was outstanding. Hot, fresh & plenty of it - they do not cut portion size for offers like some other places! Service excellent, attentive but not overbearing & no pressure to leave once meal complete. Would highly recommend & my only complaint is about the booking system, which requires card details to book-no problem with this alone but details are held by third party for 24 months which is totally unnecessary & puts our data at risk so would not book in advance & would need to take our chances on the day, as we did today. Will definitely return though, the food is fantastic.”

“Well well, this is a textbook definition of a hidden gem! Who'd have thought that a quality Indian restaurant exists in a quaint and nice village as Audley? I went for dinner with very low expectations, but I was in for a surprise. The starters we tried were Prawn Bhuna Puree, Shami Kebab (Lamb) & Chicken Malai Tikka - all 3 were cooked to perfection and the meat was succulent. Highly recommended going for the hot relish, as it's very unique and nice to taste. For main course we had Tandoori Chicken, which was served on a sizzling platter with sliced onions on the sizzling plate as well. The tandoori smell that permeated the restaurant in a lovely way was evident and present in taste in the tandoori chicken pieces; the curry accompaniment was also very good to taste, and very unlike the run off the mill curry sauce usually found at other Indian restaurants. The ambience was very relaxed, with lights just the right brightness, comfortable sitting arrangements, clean toilet. The servers were all warm and welcoming. Overall a very, very good experience and enjoyed a lovely meal at a nice restaurant without any added fuss or loudness after a long time. Totally recommend this to all, and will certainly be visiting more myself. This restaurant certainly seemed to deserve the accolades it shows in Google.”

“We've been coming here for years, and, after a very long hiatus (due to covid, a house move / a relocation), we decided to come back. I visited with my parents and my partner (from France), and the food was just as a good as I remembered - I had the korma and it was incredible! Yazz is simply lovely, and we had such a nice time. We'll definitely be back the next time I'm over from France!”

“Fabulous! Best staff. Best beer. Love this bar!!”

“Don’t judge a book by its cover. The front of the pub might need some maintenance but once you’re inside, you’ll find a cosy, family-run pub with lovely, attentive staff and great views of the surrounding countryside. The Sunday carvery is generous with a variety of meats and a vegetarian option. There are also other non carvery options if you fancy something different. Overall an authentic choice for a quaint Sunday lunch!”
