Blockhouse at The Sheet Anchor in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Layla was fantastic and luke knights food was brilliant

Great food. Had excellent service from Leyla, she was really friendly and welcoming. Would come here again.

Blockhouse has great atmosphere and a great place for food, very happy to celebrate my 30th birthday here with a fantastic meal! Leila was a great host and made us feel very welcome

Great service from Layla and delicious food. Will definitely come back again.

Great staff, really lovely place to come as a local

Layla was our waitress Outstanding service , a real pro! She brought her A game! Great all round atmosphere… would recommend a visit

Came in today for a Sunday lunch, and it was amazing and our waitress Layla was an absolute star. So attentive and very helpful. Will be coming back again x

Absolutely love it here! Came for a meal today and the food is amazing, special thank you to our server Leyla for being so friendly :) x

Great food and a nice atmosphere! Leyla was a lovely waitress and catered to our needs very well. She had excellent service and made it a lovely experience.

It really lives up to expectations, I was recommended this place by a friend and I thought why not give it a try. The food was amazing to say the least, very affordable for anyone on a budget but still wanting to eat amazing food! Not only the food but the staff were a true credit to the place, especially my server Leyla - she was helpful throughout the entirety of my experience there. Overall I would say that the next time I am in town I will definitely be visiting again!

Having a drink with the dogs. Thanks for the water bowl Leyla 😁

Great atmosphere and food, just a bit long get food and be served

love the blockhouse, thankyou to layla, becky, zach, kym, james and tristan, absolutely legends and helped made the experience great! i love the icecream :)

Excellent service food was wondering

Brilliant atmosphere, and service, especially by the lovely Layla...thank you for making the experience a special one

We've had a lovely evening. Leyla, our server, remembered us and treated us like old., valued friends. Attentive and friendly. The atmosphere here is lovely and conducive to customers chatting to each other. The food, served quickly and well presented, was good. My only criticism was that the ribs were too smoky, but I realise that is personal choice. Meat was tender and the wine was exceptional for the price. Leyla, you're fab xxx

Layla is one of the kindest waiters ever she’s great

Our server Layla was amazing as she was very friendly and helpful

We dined on a Saturday night and even though it was supper busy, all the staff were great. Our server Leila was very attentive and the food was delicious! Highly recommend

Even though it was busy I have to say our waitress Lauren was very attentive and went above and beyond, she mentioned how there is a complimentary cheesecake for birthdays and due to it being our youngest’s 17th we were able to secure her a free cheesecake.

Leyla was a very attentive and polite server, who made us very welcome, and we woukd certainly come again.

Loved every moment of it with my wonderful family on my 21st birthday. What more could you want

Great food and service but a lot of children in. Understandably. Otherwise really good restaurant.

Lovely service from Steph, especially the complimentary dessert for one of our group’s 18th birthday!

Great food, great service, great time!

Lovely meal, great service, faultless every time we visit

The person who took our order was very friendly and attentive without being too pushy. They were able to make recommendations and advise on the different products that were on offer.We ordered 2 burgers and were each happy with our choice. Based on the experience, we would definitely visit again.

Layla's service really was fantastic, the food was lovely and the atmosphere was inviting. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone planning a nice meal out.

Leyla was great, especially accommodating my dad during period of lent

Really good food and excellent service.

Hubby treated me for my birthday as a surprise it was lovely.

Best one out of the Paragon group pubs in my opinion.

Great restaurant friendly helpful staff

Absolutely amazing food excellent atmosphere and staff work very hard can't fault the place keep up the good work

Service was excellent, and food was amazing. Will definitely be going back soon.

Too dark! But better bulbs, I want to have a nap it's so dark, give me my blankey. Food lovely, Guinness grim, deserts naff:

Noisy & maybe just a place that hits a different demographic. Why is food not food but a weird combination of alphabet soup titles and highly priced menus?

Absolutely exceptional. Fabulous food, service, decor & ambience. We loved it.

Waited a hour even with pre booking

Excellent meal and our waitress, layla was outstanding

Excellent service, above and beyond from Ella and Tristan, even to trying to find out the name of a music track for us. The atmosphere and food were excellent and really good value. The menu was very varied and not your typical burger style menu. If you are in the area, it’s well worth a visit - just a shame we aren’t from the area!!

Fantastic meal here on Saturday. We were taken out by family and we were not disappointed. Service was great and Steph was attentive. Food came quick and was nice and hot even though the restaurant was busy. The atmosphere was great, whilst it was busy it didn't feel over crowded or loud you could still have conversations.

Lovely food and warm fire. My aunty loved the atmosphere and your music choice is awesome!

Went here on the weekend and it was the first time I'd been. The atmosphere was great and the food was amazing probably one of the best burgers I have had. I do thoroughly recommend the "Once in a lifetime" burger although it is pretty big, but definitely worth it. Steph our server was lovely to, nice and polite. 10 out of 10.

Poppy was our waitress, very nice and friendly. Amazing food. Will visit again.

food was cold not even look warm, nothing nice about cold smoked chicken on the bone and impossible to get the attention from the server to even enquire about the reason for the cold food. Been to many smoke houses but never had completely cold smoked meats before and not an experience id like again. server didnt even ask how the food was just came and took our plates had to ask 10mins later if was possible to get desserts cookie dough came burnt took us 10 mins again to get the attention of the server who was enjoying a conversation at the bar, when was explained to the server about it being burnt he said well it would take ten more mins for a fresh one so we declined and said we would leave it so he took the burnt one away. when bill arrived cookie dough still on bill along with the 15% service charge for lets be honest no service at all. i kindly asked for the cookie dough and service charge to be removed to his displeasure. first time visiting this smoke house and will not be returning and would not recommend. £200 for the worst possible meal out its a shame as the place looks amazing inside and out but like many places these days the look is clearly more important that the flavour or quality of the food.

Alitas delicious Burger ok Brisket delicious Drinks mixology are delicious Pet friendly super good Beds and water for you dog Tv to see you favorite sport 👌🏼

Really enjoyed the food good service and good friendly staff

Amazing food and great service from poppy

The food came very quickly and tasted amazing. Our server Poppy was so lovely and catered all our needs. She was very polite and nothing was too much for her. Thank you Poppy!

Poppy was a lovely server, service was very quick and the food was great!! Couldn’t fault it

Food was great, our server Steph was steller! My chicken was a little overcooked but still good

Poppy was our server and she was amazing, very attentive. Food was lovely also

One of my favourite places to go for date night or special occasion meal. Excellent Sunday dinner traditional with a twist and something on the menu to please everyone. I love the zombie cocktail 😍 Battered Haddock beautiful Cow and pig burger Another great meal today spot on and thankyou for the extra pea puree love my greens Only empty plates to photo sorry 🤣

A very lovely chilled vibe with gorgeous food.

We pre-booked we'll in advance for Valentine's day 12 o'clock meal. Requested a booth on the booking as we suspected the restaurant would be busy and we enjoy our privacy. This did not happen, we were shown to a table in the main seating area, everyone that arrived later was seated in the same area herded together like cattle while the rest of the restaurant was empty. No Valentine's day decorations / No candles on the table / no special menu it was just another ordinary day at Blockhouse. The food was very good and the service average, we decided to pay the 7.5% gratuity the was added to the bill. We use the Redhouse which is owned by the same group and love this venue but decided to travel 1hr from Telford, it was definitely not worth the journey, we will be staying with our local Redhouse restaurant that knows how to create a special ambience. Romance is dead at the Blockhouse. Must try harder Paragon Group.

The food was excellent, and the service from ethan was exceptional, highly recommend.

Amazing Sunday sharer platter. Recommend the boozy banoffe milkshake. Beautiful.

Excellent service. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Some food was overpriced in my opinion. Loved the decor and atmosphere.

Really nice food, great service, friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit. The Brisket chili cheese pie was amazing

Very nice food, would highly recommend

Lovely atmosphere, popcorn prawns were amazing …. Brisket and sauce could have been a little more tasty and warmer. Fries gorgeous and burger really good.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional experience my grandma and I had at The Blockhouse on Tuesday lunchtime; the atmosphere, cuisine, and service were remarkable, and our waitress Kym's attentiveness and kindness greatly enhanced our visit, leaving us eager to return soon. Thank you so much for a wonderful dining experience! 🌟

Steph was amazing. Great with my 3 year old and super friendly. Food was amazing and served quickly even though it was quite busy! Definitely be back.

Very nice staff, lovely food, gorgous venue. Highly reccommend. Very Happy

Excellent service from start to finish

Delicious food and fantastic service from the waitress Steph !

Yet another brilliant Paragon restaurant and bar.As you can guess by the name this is one for the meat lovers. Bar and restaurant are to the usual high standard of Paragon premises. Staff friendly and the food was served quickly and extremely delicious. Plenty of parking and the outdoor seating looked good will come back in the summer

The interior of the restaurant and the atmosphere is spot on! Unfortunately the food was not great for my visit. I had a beef brisket which was tasteless and my friend also tried some who stated the same. Due to it being so busy the staff were slightly difficult to get their attention to raise this so that was the reason for the scoring.

The new menu is great, lots to choose from. Always such lovely attentive staff and the food is always lovely and great quality!

Amazing place. Staff were so polite and very attentive with checking how the food was and letting us know when it’s getting plated up. The food was impeccable so so good. Great place.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Sunday lunch was to die for. Great atmosphere, venue and food.

Came for food tonight and we were served by Steph she was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed

I had a lovely time at the restaurant- the quesadilla was lovely and my partner really enjoyed the chicken strips and loaded fries. We had a lovely meal here and would come back again!

Amazing food, our server Steph was also so lovely and attentive

great service great food overall great experience definitely recommend

Lovely atmosphere and service, our server Steph was great!

Best burger ever! Our favourite burger place is in Nottingham, which won Britain's Best Burger twice in a row....this place is even better.

We were very well taken care by Steph. Her smile and energy made me feel like home.

Lovely service staff are lovely. Food was fab!

A quiet Tuesday night in January (hence the 4 stars for atmosphere), there was only about 3 other tables in. The service was good and the food very good as always. We had the Block & Blue burger, the Mex burger, the When in Rome burger, chicken strips and a ceaser salad followed by a Cookie D’Oreo. All very good!

Food was really good. Service staff seemed friendly enough. No complaints.

Came for my birthday. Lovely food as always. Thanks

We have been a few times, the food is always fantastic and there is lots to try. There is a great atmosphere. We were served by Niamh, she was lovely, very helpful and attentive.

Lovely pub/restaurant. Nice variety of meals on the menu. Had a nice welcome on arrival. Enjoyed our food & drinks. Will return

Steph thankyou so much for such amazing service you are soch a lovely person

Fab, couldn’t fault in any way at all, wish I could give 10 stars. Staff was great

Food was amazing and Steph was lovely!!

Excellent meal and exceptional service from Steph. Will definitely be back.

Had an amazing meal which was coupled with the superb service provided by the staff, in particular Trystan who made sure that all needs were catered for and that our meal was an enjoyable experience.

Great service and quality food.5 stars from me.

Steph was amazing throughout our whole stay! Lovely and bubbly and always kept checking in if we needed anything!

Great food, great music and great service. Thank you Poppy and thank you chef!!

Great staff, great service and lovely food

Amazing. Loved it, the food was amazing, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Good music playing but not too loud. The price was fair for what you get and you could taste it in the quality of the food. I would assume that it gets very busy at the weekend but we went on a Wednesday afternoon and still booked just in case. Plenty of parking. 110% recommend.

Banging food banging service banging environment

First rate . Loved it. Food was exceptional .

lovely atmosphere, food and service both excellent.

Absolutely brilliant food was fantastic

Steph was very polite & efficient :) food was lovely, all the sauces were incredible!
