Brindley Farm, Dining & Carvery in Stoke-on-Trent

Drinks ordered via the app didn't appear until queried Other food arrived before note for carvery resulting in other meal finished before carvery even started All cakes out of stock, despite being on display, has been like this for months now 😡

Great place to eat with friendly staff. Can't beat a nice carvery and this place hits the spot. A recommended visit.

Nice to call in for a rest from the hustle and bustle of daily life

Had our works Xmas meal her on Saturday and everyone said how nice the food was. Service was spot on too. We had a great time

Plenty of choices for carvery but beef chewy and gammon fatty

Not the cleanest of places and very slow to take your order. Only one person serving behind the bar. It wasn’t that busy either . We went on a Saturday lunchtime. They do carvery and menu . There is a soft play area for little ones . They do offers on food . You can get 15% discount with a blue light app not just go in with the card. The staff were friendly. The food was ok . No soap in the toilets . Car park is free but you can only have 3 hours on there max . Reasonable price . Went for takeaway cake but only had Carrot cake nothing else . What’s the point for having a display if you can’t buy them ! Disappointed.

Not impressed, rude staff, delivered my cider in the bottle an was told there was no glssses but after saying I wanted a glass with ice the waitress tutted and went to fetch a glass with ice, carvery meal was mediocre but there was only a choice of 2 desserts as they were sold out of everything else so didn’t bother Will never go again and will advise others not to bother

If I could give this zero stars then I would!! 1 is too much for the experience we had!! If you haven't booked yet and are considering coming here, trust me when I say, save your money and don't bother!!! We came today as a party of 7 (4 adults and 3 children) for breaskfast with santa and I our experience was absolutely diabolical!!! We were shown to our tables and that was it, customer service was atrocious!! No one explained to us what we were meant to do regarding santa! And if I'm brutally honest, it was the worst santa we've ever seen! His beard was on back to front and he sat there for the whole time on his mobile phone!! No interaction with the children whatsoever. Apart from just passing them a present and sticker! Now time for the food..... No self serve juice, only 1 small complimentary glass per child, no refills!!! If an adult wants juice, then that comes at an extra charge! No variety with the tea or coffee!! No cereals or extras such as crumpets pancakes etc!! Rude, miserable staff behind the hot counter! And the food, well put it this way, we ALL came out still feeling hungry!! It was stale and inedible!! Extremely disappointed! I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemy!! £70 it cost us, plus the cost of an extra juice! 🙄 and it was like throwing money down the drain!! Save your money guys and head over to Brewers Fayre instead!! 100% recommend going there instead! For a fresh, flavoursome, varied breakfast!

Ordered twice from here now, and both times they’ve messed up our orders. First time, they just didn’t send one of the meals at all. This time, they’ve completely missed the sides we’ve ordered.

We came for a Christmas team meal and had the festive menu. We were seated as soon as we arrived and had great food and speedy service for the most part. Had to chase up a side with the carvery but it had got busier since the party got there. Fabulous food, great location and always friendly staff and low prices!

We took our niece here for her 21st birthday. We got there as we had pre-booked and someone had taken our table so we had to wait till the lady had cleaned another table for us. She said she was very sorry we ordered our meals and the meals were all okay. She brought her birthday day cake out and brought us plate so as we could have a piece there and then, and the children wanted an ice cream so they went to order which took them a good 20 minutes then we had to wait another 40 minutes for this ice cream to come out we went and asked and they told us it would be 20 minutes for puddings so we sat and waited then in the end I decided to ask for the manager and told him that we’d waited over half our more for two ice creams which is ridiculous but we did notice that there wasn’t enough staff on dutyto cope with all the people coming in and out in the end they brought the ice creams and we left with ice cream in toe the other than that like I said the food was good just poor Service for such a big place they need more staff especially this time of year as they were queueing up outside waiting to get a table

Works Christmas 'do' and booking here was so easy. The food was amazing and so different. The service wasn't too good. We waited so long between each course and finally had to ask for the bill before we got our dessert, which we had said we'd take away, so it should have been with us within two minutes! That being said we were told that they were short staffed and they did appear to be kept busy.

Forgot some items off our order but it was busy

Really nice pub, good selection of drinks, good choice of food and it has a carvery, the fact that it gets busy is a form of recommendation too. If you are staying in the area give it a try.

Very friendly staff food was excellent good friendly atmosphere and overall great service 👍🏻🙂

Absolutely disgusting food I waited a hour for a chicken ticka meal for it to turn up cold 🤮we’ve been to this pub before for a birthday meal and swore we’d never go again but thought we’d give it the benefit of the doubt but can honestly say I’d rather go to McDonalds than this place 🤮

Came for my daughter’s 9th birthday family meal the food was divine all served hot and well presented. I had a carvery served by Ryleigh he was incredibly friendly and set a lovely serving atmosphere fiery polite and engaged with us. My roast beef carvery was. The best I’ve had in a while and I must say every carvery I’ve had at Brindley farm has been perfect. We brought our own cake which wasn’t an issue for another collegie to bring us additional plates and cutlery. Would highly recommend for a special family get together or just a tasty meal

Good food, nice atmosphere for breakfast- fairly quiet if you go at 9am on a Sunday but gets busier closer to 10am

It was my Father in Law’s birthday (91!) , he chose the Sunday roast & he really enjoyed it which was good because he can be fussy . My husband had the roast too . I ordered pie & chips , it was very tasty . We will definitely visit again .

The yorkshire pudding was missing my daughter has no veg just meat potatoes and yorkshire pudding wh8ch was missing this isnt the first time we order all the time fr9m here always bril yorkshire puds missing last week and rhis week

Was OK service a little slow waiting 30 mins for 2 drinks & tickets for the carvery Guy on the door was very helpful to us Thank you

We had the Carvery. The food was lovely. All fresh and plenty of it. The place is clean. Staff quite pleasant. I booked for 12 people and 2 for my husband’s support workers. Close to the door so my husband wouldn’t have to walk too far. We were accommodated perfectly. My only small complaint is that the table wasn’t cleared after our meal. We had to ask for it to be cleared so we could have desert.

Food arrived freezing cold one carvery was missing the meat and the other carvery had 1 slice of beef which was just a hard lump of gristle

Visiting from Jersey and fancied a carvery. Five of us decided to go to Brindley Farm on 26th November. The food was beautiful and the best carvery I have had in a very long time. Radek the chef served us and was polite, professional and was happy to chat; he is such a lovely person. Rachel who served our drinks was just as lovely. It made a return to Stoke that much more pleasant and when I’m back in December, I shall be visiting again. Thank you Radek and Rachel 🤍👏🏼

could have been a bit hotter but can't fault the quality or portion quantities

Sunday again to be told running late carvery not ready till 12.its advertised at 1130.gone back same as it was .won't be wasting my time again and will stick to toby carvery who at least have carvery ready at 1130!!!!

Very best staff with amazing food

Came in with father for a carvery. Didn't disappoint. All was hot, soft and lovely full of flavour...

Amazing food and great stuff! I was very positive surprised with Polish chefs who advice and being very supportive! I will definitely come back there!

Me & my friend had a carvery yesterday hot happy with the veg I feel as though you just dunk it in the hot water cause they are to hard and not cooked very disappointing after the last couple of visits 😔 hope this can be changed

Would not use again had problems previously where an Order didn’t come after 4 hours then got cancelled not happy

Mike from carvery very polite and helpful Witnessed him helping a lady who was in a wheelchair to make sure she was able to get her veg. Well done Mike

Mike on the carvey was very friendly and polite. The food was lovely burnt roast potatoes did dampen the experience but overall a great experience!

Great experience at great value! Vinny served us! Service with a smile!! Highly recommend!!

called restaurant to ask where order was and reply was waiting for driver I've had someone's order sitting here for 3 hours. and another 2 orders waiting also one of which was mine.

Carvery as always was lovely, apart from the roast potatoes they were slightly over done and were hard. Other than that the guy serving us the carvery "Mike" was very polite and made us all feel welcome :)

Lovely All you can eat breakfast, great value for money, made to feel welcome by Vinny

Always a great experience since all of the staff are great - Vinny looked after me (again) today and she is fab - always smiling, chatty and helpful.

Lovely breakfast. Nice welcoming staff

Very welcoming and food was lovely, served by Vinnie who was very lovely and smiley, great service.

We normally go toby but thought we would try here. We ordered an extra large and a regular carvery, the amount of meat we recieved was laughable. A tiny half a slice of beef on a regular and half of slice of turkey and half a slice of beef on the extra large what an absolute rip off. And a very miserable woman serving it il stick to toby next time !

Went with 9 people, most of our dinners were cold. There was only Ham to choose from in the carvery, and was never told. Ham wasn't nice and carrots were rock solid. Wouldn't recommend, and won't go again unfortunately

The portions were nice and big and great value for money. The staff were friendly and happy to help. The food was delicious.

Visited here many times and always had a warm welcome and lovely food.

This is the first time we have ordered a carvery and the food was cold. Disaapointing, as it looked lovely.

No carvery. Choice of other meals not great. Decided to give this another chance for breakfast to be delivered. Everything cold, couldn’t cut through the bacon, dry scrambled eggs, rubbery sausages. Another £20 wasted. Won’t make the same mistake again

Food was cold, very little meat

Took forever for the order to be prepared and was cold when arrived won’t order again rubbish

Food was cold, bacon rock solid and all food was cold! Shame as when we have ordered before the food has always been nicely cooked.

Me and my friends come for a visit and Elle serviced us at the till she was really nice and lovely. We are planning to come back again, it was lovely.

Food was dry, probably due to being under a heat lamp for while, service took a long time. Childrens meal was the same. The carvery wasn't very nice or fresh We went at 6 o'clock on a Saturday evening so would of expected fresher food and better service. Ordered pudding but they didn't have our choices or any plain ice cream. The ice cream we ordered took 20 mins to arrive by which time we had enough so got refunded and left.

Callum and ryleigh wer very welcoming and pleasant. Asked how wer wer . Great food/service /atmosphere. We live 20 miles away and it's always worth the drive . Thankyou

Callum made us feel so welcome. He was professional and attentive. He is a fine young man and a credit to your team.

The food was terrible the beef was dry Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were really hard the food was cold and there was only a tiny amount of gravy that just covered 2 potatoes. Very disappointing will not order or recommend again

Food was nice....but please can you employ someone to make the cakes....last 5 visits and no cakes again or only the same 1 or 2 in the cabinet

Never any cakes when we go , it's been like this for a year or 2 now. There were 5 of us and 1 person ordered a starter which apparently means a delay on the main so we waited almost an hour for our food, very frustrating 😡 we went upto the bar twice to complain. As a family we always go to this pub but I think maybe in future we'll look at going elsewhere 🤔

Paid extra for the additional yorkie, received none at all.

Food was brilliant all warm even the beans!

The restaurant offered a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal. The food arrived piping hot, a testament to their kitchen's efficiency. The staff, particularly our server Rachel, were consistently friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall dining experience. The prices were reasonable, making it a great value for money. Lastly, the restaurant was well-maintained, clean, and tidy, contributing to a pleasant dining environment.

Ellie was brilliant! Excellent customer service and brilliant food!!

Riley and Jake were very welcoming and helpful.

The food was great, just a shame that they forgot to send the drinks for the kids meals.

The carvery was absolutely shocking I spent over £50 in the venue today the beef was extremely dry the roast potatoes tasted like they had been warmed up from the day before the parsnips were rock solid not only that there was only one guy on the carvery and couldn’t keep up with refilling the food on the line and this is only at 12:30 practically just opened the carvery on top of that we asked for one of your cake away’s and were told we have to wait 5/10 mins while they cut it. We spoke to the manager and all she could do was offer an apology I payed for a king size a regular and junior and we didn’t even eat half of them. I’m not one to complain like this but it was my 35th birthday meal and we feel extremely let down by the place there was no offer of discounts or refunds on any of the food and safe to say I will be taking my custom elsewhere from now on such a shame this place use to be really good and we’ve been many of times before.

We went for the carvery and the staff member Ryleigh looked after us and made the experience lovely. The food was delicious! Would definitely recommend

£7.49 for breakfast, and you can go up as many times as you like!

arrived cold, parsnips were burnt had to throw them away they were black!, burnt pigs in blankets, roast potatoes like rubber won't be ordering from here again

Brilliant experience tonight! I purchased a Too Good To Go roast carvery and trimmings. Wasn't sure how it worked but it was really straight forward. I went over to the server, Riley, who sorted the meat for the roast and then let me help myself to everything else. Riley was so helpful, polite and chatty. He offered me a bag and sorted some gravy pots for me. Such great value for money! Well done Brindley Farm and Riley! 👏🏻

Mike Marco best chefs in the country

The service was great. Joe was a great host and Mike could not do enough to ensure our visit enjoyable. Thanks again to an amazing team.

Joe and Mike were so lovely and helpful! Made the experience so much more enjoyable

I visited Brindley today and had an excellent experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Chloe was especially amazing—attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Joe and Mike were also fantastic, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious, and I was impressed with how quickly everything came out. Overall, it was a great dining experience with fast, efficient service and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommend!

Great too good to go order, Joe was very helpful and got me my food quickly very nice food and lots of food there, very nice thank you

Cracking little spot for an early breakfast and work station, thank you!

Fast service great quality food

Food lovely, relaxing atmosphere. Friendly bar staff Rachel.

My problem was with the fact that they had no cake and only one pudding?? There is at least 10 options on the menu, so l find it difficult to understand why there was no availability. I can fully understand them running out of one or two, but them all??! That is a failure of the ordering system. In my opinion it is not good enough.

Went tonight for a carvery with 3 other adults, we had the standard carvery, my partner and I decided on the Beef as the Turkey was nearly gone and looked as dry as a bone! He bought out another turkey but this was half gone anyway and didn’t look much better than the one that was already there. There was a good selection of veg and it tasted lovely, however the Beef was as tough as old boots, and it was also grisly, I am glad the carver was mean with the meat on this occasion!!! ( just two small thin slices) We all decided that we would all have a sweet to finish off our meal, however, all the 4 different choices we made were not available, we were told what was available, to be honest that was not much, so we all decided to pass on a sweet, we looked at the lovely arrangement of cakes in the display cabinet, we know that these were artificial, but out of the large selection they only had 1 choice of cake, again we all passed, to say we were disappointed is an understatement. All in all this was a very disappointing evening, we will think hard and long before we give it another try.

Came in today with my boyfriend and we has an amazing time. Food was lovely and reasonably priced and Chelsea was incredible, she was organised and attentive and extremely welcoming.

Tom extremely friendly and welcoming

Ryleigh was outstanding serving us. Such a polite young man. Went out his way to help us. I would be proud to have him part of my team. Food was excellent I come once a week. Fantastic xx

Served by a very polite young man spot on service and good luck with your new tattoo next week

We love it here. The food is amazing the staff are so friendly. A special mention for Riley and chelsea who are so welcoming.

no pig in blankets which were clearly paid for. Food tasted great !

Good quality food, good price, friendly Staff

Went with the family for lunch, we were seated promptly, all of the staff were very pleasant. Hunters chicken, crispy chichen medley, mixed grill were all lovely, the steak was cooked to perfection on the grill. We will see you again soon.

Staff always seem rushed and unhappy. Food is good value for money but won't win awards for taste.

Service was amazing. Loved my time here. Definitely going to come again

no chips no mash no gravy and cold unexcetable

Went on a Wednesday afternoon was not expecting it to be busy which is my mistake as I had not booked however before the waitress was even aware we had not booked she was rude and very uninviting I think even if I had a reservation I would have left.

We went for a family meal , 14 of us in total. It was very busy but we had booked a table so that was good . Some of us had carvery and some ordered from menu.The food took ages to come from the menu. I had a small carvery which was £10. I got a very thin half slice of beef and that was it for the meat , my daughter had the same and got one thin slice of ham ! Whilst you could fill your plate with veg , we didn’t feel this was anything like good value for money . the size of the small plate was not much bigger than a side plate so couldn’t fit much on , but the biggest issue was value for money and how little meat we got . Hubby had-a medium size £12.50 and he got two thin slices of meat . .really not good value at all. The food from the menu was ok but just about average for pub food .very disappointed.

Vinny looked after us professionally.

Lovely place, very welcoming staff - food would have been lovely if we’d arrived earlier. Had been out some time, bacon dried out and eggs cold - nothing freshly cooked apart from vegetarian sausages (which were nice) - lady serving was very nice but extremely busy as on her own

As always great food thank you 😊

Friendly service, tasty carvery and not too busy

Got a Too good to go bag. Great value and staff were friendly. Joe and Freddie behind the carvery had great customer service and had friendly faces!

They forgot to send one of the meals we’d ordered so we ordered a second time for the food we were missing. They sent it out super quickly and more than made up for the delay. Everyone makes mistakes but they fixed theirs with no issue! Good food, good service.

What happend was some people from my family got theirs straiggt away when it came to me and my other family member that orderd we got out like 45 mins AFTER theirs

very nice food. Highly recommended

Didnt get much but what a did have was burnt hard and horrible it was so expensive aswell definitely not worth the money in any sense wont be ordering again not happy
