London Road Ale House in Stoke-on-Trent

Wow, what a surprise this place turned out to be. We turned up on a Saturday night wanting some food. The bar staff were really friendly. (There looked to be a good selection of beers although we didn't try any.) The food was lovely, nice fresh ingredients and good flavour. Then the live music started as it was open mic night. A really good atmosphere! We'll certainly be returning.

Busy lively craft beer bar interesting Industrial style Decor. Great selection of beers, ciders & spirits reasonably priced. Menu limited but enough choice the food was really nicely presented and tasty, good value for money.

delicious Thai food and great craft beers. I recommend it

This is the best place that we have ever eaten Thai food service is always excellent the chef always has a smile for everyone and asks if the food has been alright for us and it always is it's perfection you also can get a great choice of ales and cider the bar person is very knowledgeable about all his beers and cider always willing to go the extra mile we would highly recommend the Ale house to all our friends and family 10 out of 10 .

Amazing place! Fantastic atmosphere and gorgeous Thai food. Incredible range of drinks!

Awesome ale house with a equally awesome Thai Restaurant attached! A massive selection of ales, largers and ciders to suit anyone's tastes. The Thai food is amazing, I highly recommend the Massaman Curry, Spicy Rice Cakes and Pad Thai, and the best thing is they always ask what level spice you want in case you prefer milder dishes or absolute volcanic spiciness.

We got bought a voucher from Groupon for this, and knowing it was an ale house we didn't have very high hopes. However, we attended and got greeted by a lovely man behind the bar who asked what drinks we would like. We chose to have soft drinks so we could have 2 of these instead of an ale or wine. We ordered off the menu, and although we had to pay a little extra for sides and extras we didn't mind as it was only so little. The arrived, it was red hot in temperature so we knew it was fresh, and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was soooo tasty and we both agreed that it was the best Thai food we've ever eaten!! We met another man behind the bar and also the lady who was the chef and they were all so welcoming. The place could do with a little improvement, for example the floor and also the section by the TV, however this didn't effect our visit at all. Would highly recommend and we will be returning.

I’d not been here for a very long time. I went last night to sample some lovely craft ales and excellent Thai food. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. It’s not local for me but, whenever I’m close, I’ll call in for sure

Great find, food was brilliant. a great beer selection, well worth a visit.

Nice cozy little ale house that sells wonderful Thai food. For a bonus, ask the manager about his rum collection!!

Great place and great service! Pres is the best!! 👌

The London Road Ale House is a gem on a Stoke map! Not just a pub; their Thai food is deliciously home-like. The staff is super friendly, and they offer a great selection of local ales and ciders. Highly recommended.

Just been for Thai meal here, food was exceptional, great choice of beer and larger, staff and locals were very welcoming and friendly will definitely going back ( the Thai Red curry is to die for) 👍👍👍

Food was great. Very generous. We had the sharing starter and mains not realizing the sharing platter would be so big. Could easily feed 4! Very tasty Thai food. The massaman curry was lovely. The staff were lovely too. Would happily eat there again. We went for food but if you're into your drinks there seemed to be a good variety of beers and other stuff.

When with my Dad for the first time. The food was fantastic! Service was fantastic and a lovely pint. We will be back!

Didn't have food, but I had a warm and friendly reception at the bar. Love the atmosphere, decor, and, of course, unique craft beer.

Went into the 'ale house' on the 14th feb 2024, hadnt been in there for a few years and was quite surprised at the building site we sat in, literally a shadow of its former self. Felt really uncomfortable. Had one drink and left. Didnt have the vibe of an ale house anymore.....sadly.

Food is unreal, amazing authentic Thai food. New chef is brilliant. No complaints. Nice and spicy food. Fresh and colourful.

We tasted a few dishes. My favourite was soup and mix platter with delicious chicken, spring rolls, tofu.. If you like spicy food just simply say it at the bar and they will make it for you. Perfect place to eat Thai food and try good quality beer(they have a sample board with 3 different beers of your choice) and cider (my favourite is pasiion fruit). I would recommend to wear a warm jumper if you are going in winter time. Nice atmosphere, highly recommended

Love this place. Good selection of ales and quirky drinks. Shame it seemed totally empty on a Saturday night.

A great bar for a pre match drink , good choice good value,do Thai meals although before a game it's seems mainly drinking ,it's a homer pub in stoke ,but think away fans are ok as Long as they don't take the mick

Absolutely amazing food and service, Thai food is one of the best we have tasted

Lovely place to go for a craft ale and even better for this food, just lacked on atmosphere. But very highly recommended.

Went for dinner... great authentic thai food with a good selection of beers. Thank you I am sure we will be there again soon.

Lovely place friendly bar staff and everybody friendly good place to go good choice of beers my regular place for a good drink highly recomended

Nice and friendly staff and a cracking pint.

We absolutely love this place. Great atmosphere. Feels safe. Friendly staff. Great beer. And cider. But to absolutely top it off they do thai food now. We have just had the most amazing meal. As a take away We have been to Thailand. As good as anything we ate over there. Well done !

It has lovely owners who are working incredibly hard to make a welcoming environment that's for everyone and they deserve to do well. They're implementing food on top of their already good beer and variety of drinks. If you want quality then you can find it here

Not as good as it used to be, there was only four beers on draft and the local artwork has been taken down.

Chris,will help any one ,the pub has two weelchair ramps,so dont bee put at the door step,Reale ale house,never had a bad pint.good atmosfhier.

This is an excellent pub with amazing beers. We got some recommendations from the bar staff which other pubs are worthwhile going to but we really should have just stayed.

Derek is a great landlord, and it's a great place

Like an oasis in a sea of samey samey pubs. Great beer. Amazing staff. Good banter. Enjoyed it. Thanks.

Brilliant pub had a great New Year here

It's a modern bar with a good range of beers

Great choice of real ales. Always a brilliant atmosphere and really friendly staff.

This place is great, I love it more than Vodka long live comrades

Great atmosphere and ale/cider selection. My dog loves it here!

Great bar staff who were very knowledgeable in the different ciders ales and lagers. Good selection of what they were serving now and what beers would be coming next. Good atmosphere. Selection of card and board games available also. Well worth a visit if in stoke

Nice friendly staff, great selection of cask beer, ciders, wacky craft cans and foreign bottles! Would definitely visit again!

Always a good choice of beer and cider. Pleasant atmosphere and great bar staff. Just wish it stayed open later than 10pm

Nice friendly place. Good selection of ales and ciders

Fantastic Real Ale house bar, with some great and unusual Ales and Ciders

First visit tonight. Will definately be back as the atmosphere is excellent, the decor is quirky and original. Great crowd in there, both staff and customers, reflecting Stokes roots of genuine friendliness with great humour. Definately recommend the peanut butter stout and bee sting perry cider! Well worth the walk down Penkhull bank...and back.

Fantastic My son took me there, it's his local. Friendly barman called Chris Had a Pork pie., best I've ever had, and it was big . WILL definitely go back next time I'm back in UK. Hope they put the cheese board back on . Sam' DADDYO.

Great choice of ales, bottles and cans. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shame I only had time for a pint before the football. Will definitely return if we make it to the cup final again.

This is a hidden gem of a place, nostalgic of good old fashioned ale houses where conversation and good beer is the name of the game. Jason is a superb host, he knows his ale and remembers his customers names, the place has a personal touch

It's a shop conversion, but they've done a great job making it a cosy/contemporary pub feel. Great service, friendly people, lovely beers! Even given choice of straight or jug glass, now you don't get that very often 👍

What a good night at the quiz. Hot drinks as well as a large selection of beers. The questions were good in the quiz too and the host gave us all a few laughs!

Nice little pub, owner is dead friendly!

Great atmosphere great beer. What else do you need 👍

Good selection of cask ales and ciders,friendly atmosphere,well worth a visit

Craking pub and a laugh in here with home fans made us feel proper welcome . Next time im in stoke ill deffo use this pub again . Great choice of real ale beer on tap . Thanks for such and good afternoon out From 2 away fans

It got some good beer and wines x

Lovely bar with brilliant ales/ciders and reasonable prices

Good beer choice and friendly staff.

Great comfy place- exceptional when piano player is in action. Love the beers here. Come as you are - anything goes.

Great choice and they know what their talking about

Cracking atmosphere with a fine choice of Ales, Ciders, spirits etc...staff were helpful, knowledgeable and a good laugh.

A fine pre- or post-match meeting place in Stoke, if you like your ale interesting, well kept and carefully served. Wood panelled and quirky, it feels a bit like your mate's throwing a party in his oversized shed. Get in while it's still quiet and you can have a game of chess, and select your preferred height of seat and table.

Everything you need from one place

Great small pub with real ale. Great varied listof drinks often has lice music playing.

Great drink selection staff are professional welcoming and friendly always a great atmosphere

Huge choice of bottled beers from around the world but only one "normal " beer on hand pull and at £4 a pint a bit pricey for Stoke. Friendly.

Friendly and oddball. Good range of good beers. Bring your own takeaway is a new one on me!

Really nice cheese boards and friendly staff

Fantastic pub with an amazing atmosphere

Superb... great atmosphere... great service... great beers!!

The range of ales and beers is awesome.

Micropubs are popping up all over the place and this is a great one.

First visit, not a bad boozer. Can't comment on the ales as I was on soft drinks due to driving

Cider was awful. Flat and tasteless

Craft beers and ciders. Good atmosphere.

Superb choice of excellently kept ales

Great range of ales. Fantastic staff.
