Feasted in Stoke-on-Trent

Excellent tasting menu great food . Chef tells the local story behind what inspired each course and how it was made which brings the food to life and makes for an entertaining evening . The passion and pride in the staff and the food is there for all to see . Small setting, we had 8 diners makes it very special . Good choice of very good award winning wine reasonably priced by the glass. Will be returning which says it all

Incredible and inspiring dining experience within Stoke on Trent with inspiring people that want to make a difference to the city and the industry.

So tonight we experienced the chefs table in the old Spode factory and it’s left us really torn. On the positive side we Enjoyed the ethos of eating round a shared table. We were blessed with good company tonight. Enjoyed watching the guys prepare and serve the food Thought the staff were brilliant Loved the pride and positivity for Stoke Giving people a chance to succeed Spode location Food was tasty But for £450 (including wine flight) No amount of story telling (whilst entertaining) can mask the lack of quality food ingredients. Porridge, tomato consommé, pork fat with elderflower sour cream, pigeon breast etc plus underwhelming wine flight left us feeling our money had been spent on theatre rather than mind blowing food and wine. Overall we enjoyed the evening and want to continue to support businesses that promote Stoke, but the food needs to be the star, not the theatre

Love a good treasure hunt!! Unprepared as we were it took us a while to find the Feasted room (you will understand if you go!!)! Just love it when old buildings are put into use with innovative ideas. Here we were entertained with head chef Alex introducing each course which were inspired by myths and legends of North Staffordshire ably assisted by his apprentices and the lovely Nicola. And if that was not enough it was wonderful to hear of the foraging of local ingredients to enhance each of the 5 courses. If you love your food and new experiences then this seriously hits the spot. My only disappointment was that I didn't get to meet the enthusiastic and inspiring Chris Cohen (how dare you go on holiday 🤣🤣) We are all so glad to have had the opportunity to be part of what is likely to be a brilliant future for this business. 😀

This was the first visit for my wife and I. As it was her birthday the day before we were looking for something special and it delivered in every way. Alex (head chef) and his young team were absolutely fantastic with their enthusiasm, knowledge and very happy demeanour. The set up also allows you to chat with the other like minded diners in an amicable environment. We have never had such a wonderful dining experience; with unusual ingredients and pairings producing fantastic tasting food. It is a gourmet restaurant that we would definitely recommend.

This was my fourth visit to The Chef’s Table at Feasted and it never fails to amaze and impress. The dishes are so unique comprising of inventive combinations of ingredients and challenge your usual perceptions of food and flavour profiles. The stories behind each dish are local to the area and add an extra creative layer to the experience. Each dish is expertly explained by Alex, with a special dish introduced by Millie. We were also privileged to hear an inspiration life story from Ben, who shared his journey through personal experiences which have led him to be a nominee for Apprentice of the Year. Our wine pairing was skilfully described by Nicola, who also welcomed us warmly to the evening. Much of the enjoyment was a result of being able to watch each dish being carefully assembled by the team before being served to us on specially crafted ceramics. Meeting new people in the intimate setting adds to the experience where conversation flows and involves sharing thoughts and feelings about each dish. Feasted is not just a restaurant; it is so much more - a creative outlet, adeptly led by Cris Cohen, which celebrates Stoke on Trent and supports young people and the community.

Fantastic! Such incredible flavours, unusual combinations and approach that all just worked incredibly well to give a taste sensation with every dish. I loved the local mythical stories to each course and that its all local seasonal products. A feast for the eyes, taste buds and soul. We loved it and will be returning soon.

A truly wonderful food experience. First time ever doing something like this & the Feasted Team were wonderful. Thank you for a great afternoon.

Recommended for quality dishes of outstanding thought, taste and cocktail pairings although the white’natural’ wine was not to my liking. The chef and staff were extremely pleasant and their back stories were good to hear Well deserved success I look forward to going again either Chefs Table or ‘Stock’

We are a family of 6 who have experienced fine dining in spectacular venues across the world. Meeting all together for the first time for 6 years we wanted a memorable experience. One of our number has been a part time dining reviewer in the past. She was made aware of Cris's project by a business associate from Cris's family and decided that Chefs Table was ideal. She was right. Cris escorted us from the car park as one of us has mobility issues. We like the intimacy of the venue. We introduced ourselves to the other 4 diners and Cris explained the philosophy of Feasted. We enjoyed every course and each had our own favourite. Cris explained the inspiration for each course and the connection to the history and potential regeneration of The Potteries and the local sourcing of the food. We learned of the educational aspects of the business with local colleges and the encouragement of young peoples hands on inolvement in the kitchen and hospitality in general as we watched them prepare and serve our food which was delicious. It was heartwarming to listen as one of the young people explained to everyone how and why he had got involved, how much he enjoyed it and what his hopes and plans for the future were. This is so much more than eating out. The juxtaposition of the meal at the former Spode factory and the desire for regeneration of Stoke on Trent (a city neglected by Governments) demonstrated through fine dining struck a chord as 2 of our number are now retired nearby in the Staffordshire Moorlands. This is something different and you should give it a try. If Cris is successful in expanding with a conventional restaurant nearby we will try to visit together again.

Wow. An incredible dining experience. Loved all 9 courses; delicious dishes using wonderful ingredients prepared and served by Alex and his amazing team. Wine flight was a great option. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon

One of the best fine dining experiences of my life! Intimate, informal, and friendly; plus superb, well-thought out, creative, local food. I went with my husband and everyone (8 of us in total on this occasion) was seated around a big table next to where the food is being prepared. We were soon chatting with the other guests and there was great atmosphere. I would 100 % recommend this dining experience and definitely intend to return.

Superb all around. Lovely atmosphere, experience and of course the food. Cannot recommend enough. The Arnold Bennett oatcake deserves a special mention for excellence ✨️

Superb food passionately prepared, presented and delivered to the table ,a great experience. Enjoyable company with other couples we had never met before.young staff getting a good grounding I both kitchen skills and talking about the food they have cooked. Will be back .

What an experience! Wonderful hospitality, wonderful food, wonderful ethos - I definitely recommend a visit. Chefs Table is gastronomy at its best served around what could be your kitchen table with friends and family. The chefs team interact in a lovely way with the guests and the guests feel comfortable enough to mix with each other. But the food….well, I never knew a carrot could be so appealing! Chris has made normal ingredients into something amazing, beautifully presented and very well received. Well done Team Feasted. We’ll be back!

What a superb place, with a big heart. Sit with the chefs and watch them prepare all the deliciousness that will come your way. The young chefs are each on their own learning path with support from the very knowledgeable Alex and inspirational Cris. Atmosphere is very inclusive, relaxing and complete transparency about the food, its inspiration, components and seasonality. Exceptional. We will be back.

A veritable cornucopia of culinary delights expertly prepared by amazing staff. Chef's table is a truly unique experience. Having dined at some of the countries finest restaurants, I recommend this experience to all gastro fans. Our menu was called 'Lick'. Each dish is diligently linked to the stories of our local heritage. Each course is introduced with explanations of the ingredients, the thought processes and inspiration behind them. The chefs here expertly create everything from scratch including delightful surprises such as mushroom marmite, grain caviar and edible candles. The winner for us was the massive flavour behind dishes created from humble ingredients. I've never experienced food that has so much thought, effort and provenance and of course flavour to the max. We can't wait to try the next menu. Every town should have one.

Just a really lovely lovely time. A really intimate setting in an historic building. Alex talked us through all dishes with a huge nod to the local area and keira helped us with wine and drinks. The team today included 5 people - one of which was on work experience and one being an apprentice. I'm sorry I didn't catch her name, but one of the girls had also come to join the team through that route. Alex and the company generally are clearly incredibly focused on supporting local young people to pursue their passion in cooking and it's absolutely lovely to witness. The coaching and encouragement on show today was amazing to see. Then there's the food. Unusual, locally sourced, personally foraged, imaginative and above all else deliciously tasty. The menu was fabulous. My personal favourite was the curry amino trail, but my hubs was the oatcake taco. All 6 of us have regularly visited Michelin star restaurants and we all thought that the food was absolutely up there with what you would expect at that level. Just super yum! The environment was comfortable, relaxed, friendly, warm and just a really enjoyable place to be. The team are excellent here, humble, passionate, and eager to share their story. We are already arranging our next visit - can't wait! Thanks for a great day Feasted team, loved it!

Wasn't a fan of the food as it was overpriced and pretty poor quality, the overall atmosphere was very oppressive and it felt like they were rushing us though. The service was poor also

Feasted was AMAZING! Limited to 10 people, enjoy this amazing set menu in the company of the chefs in a warm, welcoming environment. As a Stokie, the menu was a reflection of the history of Stoke with some incredible twists. The oatcake ice cream was to die for and try the wine! We had a local wine and it was divine. Could not recommend enough. Look forward to returning in the future if/when there is a new menu. Thank you all so much.

Wow! What a wonderfully special and unique experience at the Chef's table last night. Passion and attention to detail exudes from each and every member of the Feasted team, whilst they interact with the table and explain the food and drink. Incredible food and wine was served in an amazing atmosphere, shared with a table of strangers that became perfect companions, which only added to the experience. The things Feasted are doing for our community are outstanding, and we already can't wait to return! Thank you!

WOW! What an experience! Chris is an inspiration and has an incredible team of chefs from trainees to apprentices and he has taught them well! Such a creative menu and such flavours, we loved the concept and the food and the wine flight ( a must!) and the idea of 10 people sitting round a table in a kitchen! Chris joined us and we all swopped ideas and stories but the story is Chris Cohen and what he is trying to do in Stoke on Trent and he deserves every success! Can’t wait til the new menu in March and Stock opening in Newcastle under Lyme!

This is for when you're looking for a special kind of meal. It's locally inspired and delicious cuisine, in a communal type setting - guests at one table, chefs working next to us. A very enjoyable evening all round.

Feasted exceeded all expectations. The food was faultless and the staff were so dedicated, careful and hardworking. We shared a table with another family which was a great atmosphere. We will definitely be returning. This chefs table is one not to miss! Completely unique and special experience.

Wow……an absolutely incredible dining experience that I would highly recommend. From the moment we walked in, we had the best night. The food was amazing, the staff were so focused the whole time but took the time to answer questions and we’re so friendly and welcoming. Chris and his team work so hard to make sure that everyone has a really special time .

This was my second visit to this amazing place and I wasn't disappointed. I went with family for my son's birthday and we were all warmly welcomed and all felt immediately at ease. The food was out of this world delicious and Cris and the...

Amazing food crafted around a local origin story. Served fantastically and delivered incredibly on taste. Great concept, will most definitely return.

Five star food with a story of the area. Cris’s cooking and story telling are second to none. The best dining experience in Staffordshire

What an unique experience! The food was amazing- beautiful in every way. The ambience was relaxed and intimate. A table of strangers bonding over food, wine and life stories made the most fun evening. Would highly recommend. We are excited to return in the future.

All the hyperbole has already been used in previous reviews. I can only add that it is, in my opinion, entirely justified. This really is a unique dining experience with the most fantastic food provided by a talented and passionate team. I fully intend to...

Fabulous food and a beautiful ethos. Highly recommend! Don’t be put off by the industrial arrival! 😊

Soooo special. Nothing like it - fabulous. We were treated to a sing tastes, and met new people too.

Everyone had an exceptional evening! We all left feeling inspired, joyful, sensationally tampered with, and full! Such a wonderful project and a unique culinary vision of the city.

The food, the service and the surroundings were perfect. It’s a fantastic experience and we are really lucky to have it on our doorstep. If you’re a foody, you have to try it!

A truly unique experience with the most well thought honest approach to each course, unforgettable!

Surely the most unique dining experience of my life and we did enjoy a lot. All interesting and scrumptious dishes and also “a well thought pairing for wine(my other half’s comment as I’m teetotal)”. The mocktails were very nice too! The atmosphere is very calm...

Quality Fine Dining in Stoke? Really? Emphatically YES !! The venue, on a wet and inhospitable July evening was inauspicious, but we were met at the gate by Cris who was under an umbrella. Decanting from our car my wife and I were escorted through...

Absolutely amazing experience, the food was fantastic and the staff were fantastic. I would highly recommend feasted to anybody looking for a incredible food experience right in the heart of Stoke

An absolute gem of a place…. This was our first visit and certainly won’t be our visit. There can’t be many places offering such an intimate setting (total of ten customers) with such personal service at this price. The food, service, setting, ambience etc etc,...

A-m-a-z-i-n-g. Its hard being a foodie in Stoke. We are always having to travel afar to try good food. It is a constant concern that we have no where to take friends when they come to visit. Local food has come a li g way...

Couldn’t be more grateful to our friends for buying us a voucher to feasted as a wedding gift. The whole experience was incredible, the stories behind each dish, attention to detail and flavours were second to none. This is the place we have been waiting...

Why shouldn’t Stoke have experiences like this? A trip through our city with a menu that reflects all the good positive stories to come out of it. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere that Cris and his team have nurtured is brilliant.

Just a small group of ten diners, sitting in the kitchen itself. The setting doesn't get much more intimate. Nor does it bring to life the stories behind the food and those preparing these works of art. Exceptional and personal; Well worth a visit.

Genuinely, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The attention to detail & storytelling with each dish is simply brilliant. It’s a real hidden gem. If you’re looking for a new culinary experience, which celebrates everything local, you won’t be disappointed. 10/10 100% would...

11 course meal with tasting wines. Thoroughly enjoyed the concept. The food was based around a Stoke on Trent theme. It was a delicious taster menu. The Staff and the host/ chef Cris were outstanding. Go with an open mind, be patient and enjoy the...

Fantastic experience and evening, probably the most unique dining experience in the UK right now!! From start to finish you will be blown away with the harmony of food and story telling. All The kitchen team are very friendly and do an incredible job!

Every course of this tasting menu experience was a delight. It was a relaxing and sociable event as all guests sit together at a chefs table and feel involved in the cooking and dining experience. It was a wonderful evening where all the staff gave...

A fantastic example of the Chefs Table. You're not in a row so that you can't speak to the person at the end and it's not too big that you have to shout, and on top of that, the food is excellent and the service...

The food was amazing and the Feasted staff were all brilliant. Loved the intimacy of only 8 people. It was like no meal that I have eaten before and it lived up to expectations. Comfort wise, the high stools were a bit uncomfortable for a...

There’s no words that go do FEASTED justice. From the moment you enter to when you decide to leave. The one who experience is one to remember. The food is outstanding & impeccably paired with the optional drinks pairing 🤩

Hidden in the heart of Stoke on Trent at the Spode works, Feasted. The experience definitely lived up to its title. Sitting at the chefs table with only 8 places, very intimate and to be able to see exactly what is being prepared is an...

From the start, you’re greeted at the door with a friendly welcome and a bit of information about the setting. These small touches continued throughout the night and just made for an absolutely fabulous evening! It’s small, intimate and engaging… a different experience that is...

Having dined at the ritz and the shard I can honestly say Chris and his team and not forgetting the food are certainly in the fine dining league , from the moment you enter the venue to when you leave nothing is to much trouble...

A hidden kitchen in Spode’s old factory, is the source of this outstanding fine dining experience. Cris Cohen and his team deliver food with a passion, with a twist and sometimes with a surprise ! (haddock on an oatcake) and it was all absolutely delicious....

Wow! We had an amazing evening and really can not wait to return later in the year. We were so impressed with the concept, the food and the company. Thank you to you and your team for a wonderful experience.
