"We were visiting relatives in the area and needed a nice pub for lunch where we could bring both of our dogs. I googled and found this. I called at 12pm when they opened and the lady that answered was so friendly and helpful. We went in at 2pm and she sat us at a great table in the corner which gave the dogs space to lay down comfortably and not be in the way. Such a dog friendly pub with the boys getting several treats each and a dog bowl, not to mention lots of cuddles!!!! The food came and we all had different things but we ate everything. The food was absolutely delicious and great value. My partner is Irish and he confirmed that this was the best Guinness he had had in 9 years of visiting this area!!!!! Cannot find fault with anything. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, the drinks and unbelievably dog friendly. I'm sorry I didn't get the lady's name who served us but it was the tall blonde lady, who was fantastic. The roaring fire was so inviting, we had to drag ourselves away. We will most definitely be back ."

"A combination of a quiet day and messed up trains meant I could re visit a pub that I haven’t been in for nearly 10 years. It was just as I remembered it friendly and welcoming, with a real historic vibe. A pint of well kept and excellently served Joule’s Pale Ale, and as it was lunchtime I ordered a roast pork sandwich. This quickly arrived, loaded with pork, stuffing and apple sauce on two huge slices of granary bread, with some chips, salad, coleslaw and gravy on the side. £13.75 for a delicious sandwich, with a perfect pint in a fantastic pub. Less than ten minutes walk from the train station. Definitely recommended"

"This was my first time visiting the only Japanese restaurant in Stoke on Trent, and I went with my friend Caroline. The exterior of the restaurant seemed a little off-putting, but we were warmly welcomed upon entering. We started with tempura prawns and pumpkin croquettes which were both delicious and freshly made. For our main course, we both tried the bento boxes. I had the duck which was cooked perfectly, although the black bean sauce was a bit too salty for my liking. The restaurant was bustling with customers, so I would suggest making a reservation. Overall, I recommend giving this place a try as it is definitely worth a visit."

"While our orders were taken promptly, I felt that the sudden influx of customers overwhelmed the kitchen, leading to some shortcuts in food preparation that affected the quality. With the holiday season in full swing, our side of the dining room was extremely loud, and the atmosphere felt more chaotic than cozy. The Bangladeshi-Indian menu had a lot of promise, but my Kadhai Kurchan didn't quite live up to expectations—it seemed a bit overhyped. Overall, I suspect the food is generally good, but my partner found her bhuna too spicy and very oily. Strangely, the kitchen also failed to add a bit of spinach to the curry, which I've never encountered before. Additionally, there was no yogurt salad served with the poppadoms. We did mention our disappointment to the staff, and to their credit, they were quite apologetic. They offered us a small gesture of goodwill that roughly equated to the cost of a poppadom! At least the evening ended on a positive note with a delicious panna cotta for dessert. The restaurant is a lovely space, and I believe our experience would have been much different on another night."

"The service at this restaurant was absolutely shocking. The waitress got our order wrong and did not apologize for her mistake. The chef also complained about changing the item, even though I had said it was fine to leave it. When returning with the corrected dish, the chef engaged directly with my 5-year-old, which was not acceptable. The chef also mentioned that if a mistake was made in the future, the meal would not be replaced, to which I replied that there would not be a next time. There is no "customer is always right" attitude in this establishment. The chef should stay in the kitchen as she is downright rude. Let the waiting staff do their job and customers should not have to deal with this incompetence."
