Loggerheads Hotel in Newcastle-under-Lyme

re reviewing after a while Still excellent food great pleasant and attentive staff plenty of choice on menu Scampi and chips still tasty and grease free chips choice of garden or mushy peas I followed it with the cider apple crumble with custard lovely flat white coffee with free refill great service by colin today but found all the staff excellent

Lovely pub but the food let it down. We went as a foursome and three of us had the half roast chicken, never again. No taste and dry, best thing about what was on the plate was the salad.

Fell into this pub by accident and what a little gem. Really characterful with exciting beer selection, had the Wainwrights best pint I’ve had in a long time!

Went to this pub with a group of friends for lunch, very disappointed. We had booked for a group of us and pre-ordered our food. Although we did not all arrive together, we were there within a few minutes of our booked time. The service was extremely slow and some of our meals were not as we ordered. For example, the Tuna Melt Ciabatta did not have any cheese in, so was just Tuna and possibly Mayo. One of us ordered a Fish Finger Sandwich and the Fish Fingers tasted just like Supermarket Fish Fingers. When ordering in advance, we asked for the bread to be Brown and they said this wasn't possible as they didn't stock Brown Bread! What a shame, I don't understand why when there is a Co-op opposite the pub and the meal was pre-ordered. One of us had ordered a Chicken Sandwich with a side portion of Chips, which were forgotten and only bought out after being reminded! To add to this, the service was less than good. Everything felt like it was in imposition. So sad and most definitely will not be recommending or returning.

Popped in on the way home never been before so thought we'd try it and we were not disappointed with the food. We had the fish & chips which were lovely and fresh nice and piping hot. Staff friendly. It's worth a look in

Met friends here as it's mid-way between our respective homes. Nice friendly welcome from the staff, a lovely pint and good choice of other drinks. Such a shame that the food was really poor. I had the Chicken Tikka masala: the few pieces of chicken were rubbery and the sauce watery, and lacked depth of flavour and seasoning. While the pappadam was crisp and went well with the mango chutney, the chapati was stale and dried out. My wife ordered the 8oz rump - medium. It was so over-cooked it had reduced to the size of a burger with a covering of bark. The salad leaves were beginning to rot and the chips and onion rings tasted of oil that should have been disgarded weeks ago. Our desserts were better, despite the luke-warm custard. Such a shame as this pub has huge potential, and the car park should be full.

We came here for dinner and I ordered the halloumi burger, and I have never been served halloumi so incredibly burnt it was rock hard burnt black on the most part. The bun lacked any salad or sauce what so ever just pieces of burnt cheese. My other half ordered a burger what was smaller than the bun it also lacked any kind of salad or sauce, the salad was old and it fresh as it was showing signs of browning, the only okay thing was the chips. It’s over priced for the quality of the food well over priced. I wouldn’t ever come here to eat again.
