Marquis Of Granby in Stoke-on-Trent

Lovely pub. Friendly service. Great beer garden.

Great place for a couple of beers 🍻

Comfy pub, good range of beers.

Was here for the jazz and blues weekend. Loved it. Great area to have a few beers in and this is a great pub to be able to sit and enjoy a drink

Shame not doing food at the moment not many people in but still very nice

Only had drinks there but would recommend

One of our favourite places to go. The service is excellent, always a friendly atmosphere and the food is to die for, so tasty...particularly the Sunday lunch, which even has a veggie option, which is delicious.

I stop by from time to time and have a few drinks and vape out back after work. Always enjoyed the atmosphere, staff, food. Usually a pooch or so that will brush up against you aswell wanting a fuss 😂. Had some good times in here.

What a lovely pub... !! Must come back soon 🙂

On the way home from work, stopped for food. The steak was amazing !!!... Service was spot on and it was all enjoyed in a sunny beer garden.

Beautiful pub with excellent food with wonderful prices. Recommend to anyone stopping by the areas for sure!

Absolutely fantastic meal I had the rump steak which was cooked perfectly and Louise had the spiced beef with salad which in itself was excellent, the beef was cooked to perfection and very tender and the spices weren't overpowering definitely recommend, 2nd time eating here and definitely be coming back

Great meal. Good choice of menu and everything well cooked. Very nice but inexperienced waitress who needs a bit more training about how to take charge when taking orders. She got so confused we were given 7 main courses for 6 people. Sure she will get the hang of it soon. Recommended.

Recommended by friends beautiful food definitely going again

Visited on Mother's Day and it was especially busy as you'd expect of most places. The food was OK, very nice friendly staff, comfortable surroundings and a pleasant atmosphere with entertainment. The disappointment was no desserts due to them having sold out. I appreciate not everyone may have booked as we did so numbers to cater for are unknown. Not everyone has a pudding though so I found this poor as desserts aren't listed on the menu so anything could be offered from a tinned treacle pudding and custard, to something from the freezer or even from the shop across the road. You expect certain options to be sold out but to have nothing to offer didn't impress me.

Had an amazing first meal at your pub! Hugely impressed, steaks were delicious, the chips were beautiful and the Cajun sauce was to die for! Loved the puddings too, hubby loved his sticky toffee pudding and my crumble was delicious. Staff were friendly, the pub decor was warm and inviting, huge hit with us, my hubby is fussy with food and he said it’s the best meal he has had for a long time. Quality produce, cooked well without the price tag! If you’ve not been here you must try or out! The pub is also dog friendly which is another plus point! A true gem of a pub in the heart of stoke on Trent.

Absolutely love this place, the food is perfect every time and great value for money, highly recommend 100%

Had three course meal was lovely well enjoyed food always lovely never no complaints from me Thanks guys.

Lovely meal, called in for lunch. Pie was amazing as my fave apple crumble and custard was. Food was reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and was lovely family atmosphere. Will definitely be back again in the future.

Large Sunday Roast Lovely large plate full of food for a big eater. Roasties, Yorkie Pud and meat tasted particularly nice. Lots of fresh veg and plenty of gravy. Good service.

Beautiful food. Our table of 12 all enjoyed our meals. Antony was very helpful and quick to respond to my emails regarding the menu etc. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be returning. Nothing was to much trouble for the friendly happy staff. Thank you.

Iv put 5 star for food but never actually had it, but heard its excellent, The owners are fantastic I would defo nip in for a quick pint and maybe a meal

Excellent service Excellent food Lovely pub

Marquis is an old favourite of mine. Its had its ups and downs. Its comfortable, friendly and nicely decorated. Nice beer garden for the summer months. Dog friendly. I dont eat here, but i believe the food is excellent. Always a destination of mine after work.

Took our 2 youngest granddaughters to the "Santa" breakfast, great fun and food to match.

Tried the new menu on Sat...omg the duck was amazing, perfectly cooked. The homemade chips were better than ever. All 3 of us left full and happy. Can't wait to try more of the new menu 😋

Nice pub tbh was in there other day … Shame really my ex lives down the road with my baby who I’m fighting for lol joke .. could have been a nice place with my littlen … don’t listen to a word them scum bags say to all lol

Fabulous meal tonight at the Marquis, I had the duck which was delicious 😋 and my husband had the gammon which he really enjoyed, chose the cheesecake for dessert well that was just 👌🏼, big portions to, staff were very attentive and accommodating, definitely recommend and we would return x

I found that the staff from day one were amazing there is nothing that was too much trouble and made my mum’s final journey. Joyful. They created a memory table for my mum and insured that there was tea and coffee available as well as a beautiful buffet, with a nice balance of vegetarian and meat, lovers. They allowed us to use the TV with our laptop so we could show our mums photos and videos. They went above and beyond by taking all the Halloween decorations down as it would not of been appropriate. The communication was brilliant from the initial contact to the end, I’d like to thank the team making a special day, allowing us to relax and listen to all of memories about my mum.

I had a Sunday Roast today there. The food and service were excellent. Totally recommend it.

Lovely Sunday roast! I truly recommend it.

An excellent pub restaurant. Clean & tidy with friendly staff, good beer and delicious food. Felt more like being in a countryside Inn rather than a city tavern.

Brilliant food, PROPER old school quality pub grub, it’s what you hope it will be 😋👍

Loveley staff food was gorgeous ,will definitely be back

visited wed evening, first time iv visited, if im being honest service was a little hectic , staff bit rushed , no starters which i was disappointed about but the main was really good hopefully i will get to try the starters next time , lovely home cooked food, excellent portions, and welcoming staff will try again 😊

Popped in, usually busy but it looks quiet and the young boy behind bar was horrible and just threw beer down.

Stopped by unintentionally but glad we did. Great food and service

Visited this pub as had been in area. Did search for pubs near me for somewhere to eat on way home to Cheshire. Reviews were great so thought we would give it a bash, so glad we did! The pub itself is a traditional pub, not a plastic pub with no charm. The staff are welcoming as soon as you enter and very attentive throughout. We were seated and given menus, and asked if we would like drinks, which arrived promptly. It was fairly quiet, people drinking outside in pleasant courtyard, a few tables eating and some tables waiting for food. Our food was ordered, I had the steak and Stilton pie which was huge with home cooked chips and peas, it was delicious 😋 Husband had the chicken schnitzel which was huge and beautifully cooked, melted in your mouth. Food came quickly too. Didn’t really have room for dessert but forced ourselves. Chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding, again prompt service and delicious. The thing I find amazing is the price, so cheap, it’s getting so expensive to eat out these days, not here! Great value for money, drinks too, came home with full tummies and plenty of change in our pockets. If this pub wasn’t so far from home I would visit it more often. Hats off to the chef and wonderful team, lovely friendly pub 10/10, definitely worth a visit.

Had lunch today the food was superb cooked to perfection reasonable priced and well presented and staff very friendly Definitely go back

We've just had one of the best Sunday lunches I've ever eaten.

Brilliant staff and service highly recommend a vist 👍

I used to use this pub a lot when it was a "drinkers" pub. Too bistro like for me now.

Nice pub me my wife sarah go in after going to see my father for couple drinks food not on but this ok staff are good they always polite helpfull would recommended this pub to anyone me my wife have had meals here they always nice they give u plate full lovely meal

My review is an example of how easy it is to leave a review without knowing anything about a business without having been there, "The Marquis of Granby has highlighted the issue on its Facebook page. In a social media response to the review, the venue said: "Our kitchen has been closed since 19 July due to us lacking a chef. We have tried reporting this review to Google with no joy. But why do people feel the need to try to ruin someone's business by giving a highly-detailed lie? It’s uncalled for. "To target our staff is very unfair as we have a very friendly and dedicated team working for us who have done so for a long time and myself and Calum are extremely proud of them. Team Marquis all the way - one person's bitterness won’t dull our shine." Here is the review from LUCY BROWN: Lucy Brown 1 review 5 days ago NEW £10–20 I ordered food around 4.00 o’clock and food took an hour to come, they brought one plate at a time, messed up on order then when I was almost finished I found a hair in my food-this made me feel sick I went to complain for the second time then the lady came back and said that because she has blonde hair it can’t be hers….I’m blonde aswell but there was a hair on my plate under the sauce so defo not mine plus it was a short hair and I have shoulder length hair! I was offered a drink as compensation I disagreed and said I’m not happy about that I would rather a refund for my plate but I was happy to pay for the rest of the families meals! I had no response at all! I went to the bar and ask but they refused a refund but offered me a free coke because I had nearly finished my meal….. What a joke! it was only after I was talking to the table next to me who said they had a hair in theirs aswell and surprise surprise that was a short black hair!!! I will never eat at that place again or pay to go there for a drink, 5 Terrible service aswell! Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5" THE RESPONSE FROM OWNER Response from the owner 5 days ago Hello, you have got the wrong Marquis of Granby. We are not currently serving food so we are confused as to why we are receiving this review? Also we never offer drinks for food complains when we are doing food (if we do get them) we would knock money off or refund the meal We would appreciate it been taken down as this isn’t our pub you have ate at and this could have a damaging affects on our business :-( I very much doubt Lucy Brown, if she exists, has ever been there. But the review stays, the business suffers, it's really frustrating. We have a business dealing in classic cars. its listed on Google... We get reviews from people who we have never heard of, never dealt with, or are complete idiots trying to pressure us into getting what they want... an example.. a lady made an offer of £14500 on a car advertised for £24850, and stated that we had to accept the offer "by law", and that as we offered a delivery service, she wanted it dropped off 240 miles away and would pay on delivery, as long as it suited her... What do you do with these people?

Ever since Callum and Kieran have taken over the pub it's been transformed, they stuck it out during Covid and it's a pub I enjoy going to both for a drink and for food. The beer garden is cracking too.

Lovely local pub with fantastic beer garden that can be used all year round with great atmosphere the night I visited. Under new management with lots of plans for quizzes & music Update: Very sophisticated new Menu with delicious food. Understandably very busy so be sure to book and check availability.

Never been anywhere near your pub but as an Ale Lover that obviously unfounded review of your pub by LucyLicket2702 as is evident by your core customers and is her only ever lifetime review on Tripadvisor I hope they take it down.

Such a wonderful place. Food not currently on the menu since July 19th but that is totally fine! The drinks are lovely and glasses fresh and clean. Atmosphere wonderful and polite staff :)

Lovely pub. I've had some good food from there before which I rated highly. Sadly today the food and service was not great and I left hungry.

We had a really great night thank you xx

Lovely atmosphere felt very welcome

Why did nobody tell me about this place sooner!!??

Absolutely gorgeous food, really good service friendly atmosphere and bar staff very welcoming.

Excellent food, excellent service, very pleasant all around, as always ❤️

Nice clean pub. Lovely drop of peddy.

Lovely pub great food and amazing staff

A veritable ale house, very relaxed even when quite busy

Went for a meal and we really enjoyed it.

Great friendly local pub Dog friendly also

Me my husband mark book table had meal here today was lovely meal on time meal was very good and hot recommende this place to anyone

Nice little pub in the lovely village of Penkhull

Great atmosphere, welcoming & friendly. We went as a large group, the food was served smoothly & hot!... The bar was hoping with friendly banter, just how overseas visitors think a British pub is. .who needs a fake Irish bar! come & grab a bit of real Stokie, you won't be disappointed....

Good beer good clean pub will be back again

What fantastic staff and great food. So helpful in finding us a table even though they were busy. A great choice of food and served really promptly. Lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again againagain.very soon.

Absolutely amazing food as usual. Staff can't do enough, always welcoming and friendly. Best pub around

Nice welcoming pub with good food and reasonable prices.

Lovely welcome, great staff, buffet supplied was awesome.

It's a little to small and clustered to host an event, idea as a pub just for small crowds.

Private function, catered for a funeral. Good spread excellent ale and wines. A safe but respectful occasion

Nice little local pub..nice atmosphere.....👍🍻

Smashing breakfast,lovely staff. So good I stayed for another couple of hours after chilling!

Loved the pub .large car park at the side. Good size lounge. And a nice size bar. when we called elvis was playing in the lounge great entertainment and great atmosphere. Food available looks good plenty of entertainment on throughout the week quiz night .and meal offers in the week. Will call again

Community pub with a good atmosphere, great service, delicious food and highly recommended, especially curry night on a Thursday.

Food was excellent. Mushroom Wellington very tasty. Portions fantastic. Good prices. Nice service. Pub inside nice too

Good food good service always made to feel welcome

Had our first taste of Thursday's Curry Night and I must say it was so good we're making it our fortnightly Date Night!! Poppadoms and chutneys followed by your choice of starter, a choice of curry (meat or vegetable) with rice, naan and chips for less than £15 is a fantastic deal for anyone. The quality, quantity and presentation were better than some restaurants I have been to and paid twice the price! We'll be seeing you in two weeks and I already can't wait!!!! ☺️

Warm welcome from satff, good food menu and drinks options, also thought the prices were fair given its homecooked and locally run. Chose the Black and Blue burger but swapped out the beef to a chicken burger, food was tasty, fresh and hot. Enjoyed the Stilton and mushrooms on top this burger. Will return to enjoy one of their Sunday roast dinners which regularly is sold out so will have to book in.

Been wanting to come here for a while and today we went for lunch with family and what a fabulos meal we had it was all piping hot and good value for money everywhere was clean and well maintained the only disappointing thing was no desserts in the day time😐well done to callum and kieran keep the good work up i must say its great to have somewhere nice and welcoming to eat on are doorstep.we will be visting again soon.

Went for steak night on Wednesday 5th October with my wife. We were met with a warm friendly greeting. My wife chose a rump steak and I had the sirloin, both were cooked as requested and the wine was a well known brand. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, and thought £25.00 for 2 steak meals and a bottle of wine was great value.

The food was good, its unfortunate the pub employs a lout who thinks its great screeching around penkhull in an orange car that keeps backfiring at all hours. I am looking after my father and it caused him to have a panic attack. Please have some respect

The food here is outstanding! Couldn't recommend it enough 👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What’s not to like about this pub? Great beer garden 2 rooms so you can chill or be in the thick of it and fab food - great all rounder

Lovely hot food good choice reasonable price good prices at the bar would need to book in advance for a table for more than 2 people as only small dining area called in for drinks but decided to dine while we were there and they were brilliant moving table's to accommodate us which was great and we had a fantastic meal thank you x

Lovely meal friendly staff helpful food cooked to how you like it

Just want to say a big thank you to the owners of The Marquis & the wonderful bar staff you had working yesterday, bank holiday Sunday, I came up with family and brought my one year old grandson to see the live bands, excellent day had by all. The fact that the owner takes time to reply to comments on this forum says it all to me, cannot recommend this local pub enough👍👍👍👍

Love it here, food is beautiful and the lovely Louise is very welcoming ❤

Booked for afternoon tea which was super. Calum was most helpful and polite. Would definitely revisit and recommend. Thank you Calum.

Just returned from a fabulous meal for a friends leaving do. There were 28 of us bit nothing was too much trouble. The food came out piping hot and everyone enjoyed their meals. Great value for money. Special mention to Louise & Ben for getting our food served so quickly and with a smile! Thank you.

Excellent food and good choice of beers! Fantastic little local pub!

Another lovely lunch here with my daughter.

Not the best food by a long way had to leave more of the stake than I could eat

First time food was top notch my son lives close and recommended it 👍

My Wife went for afternoon tea today with my son for her birthday but was very disappointed. The sandwiches came in only white bread no variation .the bread was dry on the corners no salad or sauce just a bit of lettuce which has seen better days and was brown on the edges.the scones were very dry. The selection of cakes on the top did not look like The ones on the photo displayed . It stated refillable tea which was not offered and came at leat 15 mins before the food. The reviews in the sentinel looked promising so I thought I’d give a local business my custom, but was disappointed.

Food is Amazing and at a very reasonable price, The staff are lovely too, while theses guys are doing such a great job with the pub, we will continue to go back!!

Really very well prepared & presented fresh food here..would recommend this place for excellent location superb beer garden and the little touches of flair used in the kitchen to exceed most people's expectations of pub food..

Had afternoon tea . Great assessment of sandwiches, cakes, small pork pies and sausage rolls. Lovely pot if tea too. Friendly service. Highly recommend you try it .

The Marquis is a beautiful place inside and out with staff who go the extra mile to make sure customers are happy. The food is superb with the vegan cottage pie being a personal favourite. To top it all off, it's dog friendly too. My partner and I feel really blessed to have it so nearby in Penkhull.
