Clough Hall in Newcastle-under-Lyme

We went for a family meal, great atmosphere and great food. I would highly recommend If you like the family atmosphere, this is the vibe for you..

First visit-Oct 26, 2024: Experience was lovely! Staff on shift was polite and friendly. FOOD was banging and cooked fresh. As a picky eater, I am cautious as to what I eat. I had the lasagne, and it was delish! Cooked fresh and good portion/serving. Today, went in back again because I had a craving of their lasagne and to my surprise it was not the same as I had last week. They plated in a BURNT lasagne and bread. Complained and was guaranteed they will make it fresh. And 20 mins later, still the same, not cooked fresh and it was dry. Tasteless. Asked to speak to a kitchen staff, and was told that they changed their menu! If their was a change how come there was no signage/s posted at the bar for such? and in a week's time they changed it? Just disappointed as a family w love this place and is nearby to my mother-in-law's place. Also, if the management could re-check the menu as the lasagne is in their 2x and at different prices. We asked what was the difference and the kitchen staff said it was the same. and he has no idea as to why it's like that on the menu.

Had 2 meals here in the last 2 days. Breakfast was stunning, excellent value for money and quality. Sunday lunch was the same. Generous amount of meat and several veggies on offer. Excellent value for what was served. All washed down with fine ale. Definitely worth a visit.

Picked the pub at random for a lunch. . Was pleasantly surprised. . The food was really nice. Service was great. Will definitely go again. Found a right little gem tucked away there

Food good service excellent and price great will definitely be eating here again.

Fantastic meal and great service . Will definitely be returning

The new food menu is up there with the best, alot of alcohol available

Well ran.. Great service.. Surprisingly good food.. Most of which was home made..

We are very impressed with the Sunday dinners here! The meat portion was generous - I had a bit of everything - beef, chicken and gammon. All of it was tender and lean. The Yorkie pud and roasties tasted homemade and were great. The mash was nice and the other veg were nicely cooked (not turned to mush) and plentiful. We paid £2 extra for cauliflower cheese to share and that was good too. Everything was perfect, except the peas needed to be cooked with a bit more salt, but that's a very minor fault. Also must mention the gravy which tasted superb. My partner who is vegetarian had the nut roast and enjoyed her meal, but didn't have room for it all. We will be back for more Sunday dinners here as it is one of the best meals we have had recently in the whole of Stoke and reasonably priced too! You literally get a whole plateful of food to eat as portions of meat and veg are generous! Big eaters will love it! The service is also good and the wait for food only around 15 to 20 minutes for us. The pub restaurant was busy with diners when we were there, particularly so after we finished our lunch around 2.30pm. I would strongly recommend the food here and would also suggest booking in busy periods

family friendly, staff and customers alike were very pleasant and welcoming. Nice place to take the family and feel safe and secure. Thank you for a wonderful evening x

Went for the new menu and got to say it was very good, Thursday night is chippy tea menu and the food and service was good. If you like good food in a casual atmosphere it’s a must

We went for the steak night the food and service was amazing we really enjoyed the evening I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a meal out as much as that

Popped in for some food and can honestly say it’s was delicious, home cooked and it’s not often chips are home cooked anymore, highly recommend

Not been here for many years but was more than happy

Been twice in last month to have a meal, and it wasn't open both times. The website states it is open for meals from 12pm, and another time of 1pm. Have tried both times, no luck, despite advertising outside the pub. It's a shame really.

Christmas Day dinner , starter was ok , main was plentiful , turkey tasted like it was out of a packet , mashed potatoes mashed almost to soup , puddin ok but drowned in cream , locals mostly friendly , Not a £50 + per head lunch for me

Went for my son's Christmas meal. The service was awful. The meals were bought out an hour apart (from the first meal to the last meal), meaning some had finished whilst others hadn't even eaten yet. This happened with every course. The food itself was dreadful. I only ate chips off my plate. Would not recommend.

We have just left the Clough Hall pub all I can say is it was one of the nicest Sunday lunches we have had in a long time we took a lady who struggles walking so uses a walking frame there was two little steps but we managed them ok with the help of a portable step ,inside was flat so no problem after getting into the restaurant. The staff were absolutely great asking if she was ok 2 or 3 times the meal was super and hot they apologised for the wait but to be fair it was very busy and well worth the wait will be definitely be going back Thank you to all the staff

Only went there to meet friends for a drink , but the food looked and smelt lovely , so will definitely be going back to sample the food , staff are friendly and efficient.

Brilliant pub, great service, food, drink and atmosphere.

Great pub with great atmosphere and food. Great for the kids too.

The food was great hot l witch l like it the pub was busy

We would like to thank the staff n chef for all the service and food we had we will defo be going again also would recommend the food to friends and family

Spot on, super friendly staff. Food was amazing. Blond waitress was super helpful, in fact they all were. They even let my disabled uncle to take a guineas beer glass home, as he was struggling to down it quickly. Top place, food highly recommended.

Great selection of beers and spirits. Food was nice and competitively priced

Food was lovely and staff were very nice. Will definitely be back.

Good food nicest steak in a long while. The staff are very friendly would definitely go again

Incredible pub. There is a food option for everyone in a really big, well varied menu & the drink selection is great. Great environment with even better owners that add to the nice environment. Absolutely brilliant pub.

Absolutely brilliant service. Food was brilliant as always and the staff couldn't do enough for you

Lovely food, Sunday lunch busy but worth the wait

Great food Waitress was great Food was a bit slow coming out but worth the wait Definitely coming back for more

DO NOT BOOK A PARTY HERE! Cant cope with a big party! Our food order was given 2 weeks in advance, starters didnt come out until 45mins after we arrived, only 10 people ordered starters and everyone else had to wait 2 HOURS for food! My daughters food came out with the starter meaning she ate a whole hour before the e rest of us! To top it off the steak was cold when it came out! If you havr a larger group of 10dont bother coming here as you will pay £40 for a two hour wait. Cold food and £££ worth of drink whilst ur waiting! They arent daft! If they cant cope with that big of a party they shouldn't book them

Been here today for 3 course meal was outstanding polite and friendly staff would highly recommend

We visited here to have a birthday meal with the family and had s really enjoyable experince. The waitress was really friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed even though she appeared rushed off her feet. The food is very nice here and the meal sizes are really good, the steak is cooked perfectly, which i definitely recommend!

Great value and quality Sunday lunch!

Lovely quiet pub, friendly staff 😎

Out of date very tired looking not many in too watch the artist and what was in is not the kind of clinantel that you want to keep a pub going

Went for sunday lunch absolutely lovely the lamb just melted in my mouth 100% recommend staff are lovely and cheerful

Absolutely brilliant staff brilliant and food amazing and everyone try there chips wowwwww

Really friendly pub, great people only Downside I think the bar staff need some training but they are lovely so won't take that away. A tad slow service but yet again down to training.

Sunday lunch, belting. Really good quality food and great service. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

Very friendly, good night at karaoke

Lovely food and great beer garden. Good for the kids

We took our granddaughter for lunch to the Clough hall on Saturday. We were met by a smiling young man behind the bar and we took a seat in a lovely welcoming room at the back of the pub to choose from the menu. I had the sticky salmon and it was absolutely delicious,my husband chose fish and chips he said you could tell that they were home-made,my granddaughter chose burger and chips she said the bun on the burger was a little dry having said that she ate every scrap. She said her veg sticks were really nice and looked like a little Jenga on her plate. We moved to Kidsgrove less than two years ago and have been looking for somewhere to go for lunch and we will definitely return possibly to try the Sunday lunch next time.

Very nice and clean and food very good #

Shame no real ale on but still a good boozer

Beautiful pub with a lovely beer garden out back set near a lake. Children's play equipment very safe and if its a sunny day the beer garden is lovely suntrap. The pub inside is very clean,pool table and their homecooked food is amazing.

Top pub,have been here many times and food is always excellent. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Family friendly and lovely atmosphere:)

A pub that I've used on and off since I was a teenager, so many years! Not been since pre lock down in 2020. The pub has new owners and a refurb. Nicely done. We noticed how clean the bar area was. All staff were friendly and helpful. The menu has a good choice. All the food is freshly prepared and cooked on site, no longer is this a brewery pub food menu pub. We had garlic chicken dishes and steaks. Huge portions, hot and fresh, presentation good. Tasty and delicious, we were all suitably impressed. Deserts had to be tried, creme brulé is excellent. The chef passed out table so we passed our compliments in to him. We will return and I'd urge you to try the new look Clough. Nice to see it back to being a proper local pub, with very good food.

First time been in years had meal was lovely really nice place

Not the best experience , food was average but wait time for our food was not good at all , from the time we arrived and got our food and waited for them to clear the table was an hour and 15 mins, and there was only 4 of us , and there were only 3 other tables, requests deserts but by time someone came to take our order we decided against it as we had waited far to long.

Very nice place to visit and have a few drinks and a meal

Great welcoming Pub food and drink very good 👍

Great food and really felt welcome

Very friendly staff Good service Take a no nonsense approach to trouble makers

Great atmosphere, friendly service, good food.

Nice and friendly and lovely food

Had a few meals now and always been great value for money and always a great atmosphere - what I would call a proper local. Today took the family for Christmas Dinner - big 👏👏👏to all the staff. Food was excellent, yes we had to wait a little but it was explained that there would be delays as they were 2 staff members down including the head chef. Food was freshly cooked, tasty and portions huge. Even had one of Santa's Elves waiting on.

Thought we’d try it for lunch. Nice refurbishment been done but the food, oh no. Frozen over cooked fish & chips, pie dry & tasteless. Sorry but when you’ve got the Ash Inn not too far away that does cheaper & proper home cooked food we won’t be back.

Was a brilliant atmosphere and the landlady was lovely. Had a great night

Nice evening, very friendly atmosphere, good food very tasty steak and ale pie. fun night even had a go of the bingo.

First time went here for Sunday lunch after a walk with family, nice friendly staff, lovely food that came quick, nice big garden at back with a pond, have cabins to rent, definitely go again.

Good place with enjoyable surrounding and fair prices.

Food fresh and good, staff friendly and the place was very clean. We'll worth a visit and I will be back

Lovely food and very friendly. Will be going again
