New Broom Inn in Staffordshire Moorlands

Nice people, nice beer garden and a good pint.

Stayed at The New Broom in our Caravan for the weekend while we went to Alton Towers. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, but especially John. We got back late from Alton Towers one evening, and even though it was past food cut off time, John still made us some food, which by the way is all home cooked and tasted absolutely delicious! The beer is great and the pub is gorgeous. Would definitely recommend

What a lovely friendly welcome we got when we arrived here on our way through. We stopped & ordered hit drinks an Americano coffee and a tea. Drinks were delivered to our table & were very good. The next customers got exactly the same friendly welcome, which was lovely to hear Service was excellent & although we only stopped for drinks their food menu looked really good as well

Absolutely loved this place! Stayed here for 4 nights during half term holiday in our campervan. The food is excellent, good selection, good portion sizes and the carvery on Sunday is the best. The staff are all so very welcoming. We will definitely return.

Stayed for 0ne night on the adjoining pitchup advertised camping site, firstly I advise you to avoid at all costs, the toilets and showers are without locks on doors, the tap water smells of urine, we ate pizza at the pub that too was disgusting, there were maggots crawling on the floor and I’m sure I saw a rat leave the kitchen by a drain. I,ve heard that they have been visited recently by the local environmental health agency,

We used the New Broom for my father in laws wake after the funeral. A buffet was laid on which was impressive, proper beef, ham, scotch eggs, quality quiche, fries, breaded chicken everyone commented. Really looked after us as well! Thank you

We stayed in our motorhome on their site which was clean and had all the usual services. We were welcomed by the lovely owners and shown where everything was. We had dinner there and the food was excellent. We had the scampi and chips and peas and the chicken madras curry. The sticky toffee pudding and ice cream sundae were also good. The Guiness was excellent too. The staff were attentive and checked that our food was to our liking. The site is also really handy for families wanting to access Alton Towers

Highly recommend this place Traveled here after Alton towers and my partner and I were starving! We ordered the turkey, ham and leek pie and curry with a side of onion rings and it filled us right up. Big portions! The staff were all lovely, the music was great - indie and not too loud. Will recommend this to everyone who comes to Alton Towers!

We were a party of 8 and celebrating an event. Most of us had steak and two had chicken. The service was delivered with a smile by a pleasant waitress and the helpings were good. Everything tasted great and we finished up with some kind of Sundae that I had never heard of. Altogether an excellent meal. This landlord is trying hard to please his customers.

We have just camped at new broom for the weekend, the area for camping was within easy access of the pub, toilets and shower which where cleaned daily, the owners where lovely and always checking how it was going and asking if we needed anything very friendly as well as the staff within the pub, New broom is within a reasonable driving distance to alton towers and uttoxeter. We ate tea in the pub and breakfasts and bother meals where delicious. We will definitely be back.

Spent three nights camping here with a group of friends using it as a base to explore the Peak District. The camping fields are flat and close to the toilet and showers which were very clean. The pub is very well set out with a good selection of beers and the food offered is excellent and reasonably priced. The staff were all attentive and friendly.

We were staying in their campsite behind the pub, but we had some drinks both nights of our stay in the pub. Kids play area in the beer garden, loads of parking and space inside the pub. Only issue we found was with the shower block. 3 Blocks all containing 1 shower in and 2 toilets in each. The problem is, people are able to lock the main door, so if you want to use the toilet, and someone has locked that door to have a shower, you are waiting a long time. For us, 20 minutes...3 people all showering for 20 minutes locking the main door, so we cannot use the basins or toilets. They need to remove the locks for the main doors to resolve this. The shower doors have their own locks, so I don't see why it is necessary to lock everyone else out. Happy to stay here again, but will bring the Porta Pottie.

Booked a nights stay here via pitch up. Absolutely lovely, John the owner and his partner are super friendly and always making sure you’re OK, facilities are regularly cleaned and maintained to a good standard…. Kids and dogs are made really welcome and the whole environment was lovely and chilled. We had a great evening meal at the pub!! So much choice we had pizzas for the kids , mixed grill and chicken burger all went down a treat. Special mention for the home cooked chips… Next to a busy -ish road and we were offered ear plugs but we live on a similar road so it was actually soothing for us. We decided to stay for carvery too and John was more than happy for us to stay pitched up until we needed. Already planning on returning with friends in the summer.

We booked hear to be close to Alton towers which is only 5 miles away. First impressions were good and we were on the top field. It was muddy but that’s camping and it did not ruin it for us all. Kids loved the park and loved the football nets. The pub is great. Food is fantastic and at a great price. The beer is so well looked after. Shower and toiled blocks are ok, could always be modified but they are always clean which is good. We have booked to return next year as we really like the place and the team who run it. Thanks for a lovely stay John

Great stay at the New Broom Campsite!!! Camping for 3 nights and pitches for tents were big. Loads of space for the kids to play including football nets in an adjacent field. Shower facilities basic but clean. Enjoyed a lovely evening meal on the final Night - the home cooked chips were amazing! Some Noise from the traffic on the road but this is no fault of the campsite itself and actually found it quite relaxing whilst drifting off to sleep! Quick drive to Alton Towers (approx 10 - 15 mins). On leaving no rush to leave the site and was advised by the owner to take our time. Overall really friendly, warm, welcoming site and the kids loved it so much we have booked already for next year!

We stopped at the new broom for the great value for the camping facilities,We also used the pub for our evening meals which were also great value for money we stopped for a couple of nights and enjoyed both meals from a good selection. The owners could not have been more helpful and friendly a genuine couple

On the A500 between Stoke & Uttoxeter looking for lunch we happened upon this pub, off the main road. Pleasant environment, plenty of parking, nice children’s play garden. Seems to be an independant? Brilliant ham, egg & chips; nice cajun chicken skewers off the specials board, plus a good Wadworth6X pint of well kept bitter. Ham was off a real homecooked ham (it hadn’t seen a packet! ) And was generously carved. Chips were skin on and again real, not frozen packet. Good simple food, well prepared with care. Very reasonable prices: for 2 people 1 course plus drinks and coffee, the right side of £35. I recommend!

Food is better than average pub food. had excellent Sea Bass fillets. I sense that the landlord is trying very hard to build up his trade by good service and honest old-fashioned approach. His resident musical group are very good and rehearse on Wednesday nights

Just returned home after celebrating our Son’s 21st birthday with 25 family members. Nothing has been too much trouble, food was exceptional and so was the service. Would highly recommend.

excellent food , warm and friendly welcoming , nice pint. As someone who regularly eats out this place is one of the BEST if you enjoy quality food give it a go

Decided to pop in on the off chance of some food, we weren’t disappointed. Good sized home cooked food , great pint and lovely people behind the bar. Well worth a visit

We visited this pub as it was the pub located closest to our campsite. It was a very relaxed pub, with lovely beer garden and well priced food with a good range for all the family.

absolute fantastic visit. Stayed here for 2 days owner was fantastic made us feel welcome. Food was good and pub was brilliant staff very polite and friendly.

We recently stayed at New Broom Camp Site for 2 nights whist visiting Alton Towers Resort for the weekend. On arrival we were greeted by the owner John who appeared slightly annoyed at our presence but shown us to our pitch which was about 10 steps away from the pub entrance and in the pub garden as the other 2 fields were full to capacity.While struggling to set up our tent in the dark John walked over and stood with his arms folded staring at us not offering to help in any way and then randomly walked off. We visited Alton Towers all day on the Saturday and when back to the camp site decided to go for a drink in the on site pub. Here, John told us which table to sit on- near the exit, seeming like he didn’t want us to stay. He aggressively told us to sit down quickly or go out and get our face masks on. He took our drinks order and when bringing them back over slammed them down on the table. We noticed another table had just ordered food and when asking John if we could have a menu he replied “no it’s finished now” then 20 minutes later he said we could have chips but that was it. We finished our drinks and left asking him if we could come for breakfast the next morning. He told us to come in after 9.30am as there was another group coming in before this.The next morning we went to have breakfast like agreed, John refused to make us breakfast unless it was 4 full fry ups and one of us only wanted beans on toast. He said it was that or nothing so we left and went elsewhere. John appeared rude, erratic and hostile and it didn’t feel like we were welcome there at all. We will not be revisiting.

I booked 3 nights camping with electric from 10 sept. I had to cancel booking on 20th August (3 weeks notice) because of my area with coronavirus and my son going to 6th form at that time. No refund offered and they even kept the electric fee that i hadn't even used.

Haven’t visited since we had a horrendous experience with previous owner. We visited after hearing it had been taken over. Lovely friendly welcome, lovely food. So pleased to be able to visit our local pub again, thank you

Arrived 02.08.20 for 3 nights. Absolutely no complaints. We payed for a electric hook up, we got that. We payed for a toilets and showers, and that’s what we got. We were checked up upon morning and night to see if we were okay (which was a nice touch). Pub on site which is worth a visit to!

We checked in Friday morning for the weekend and can’t express enough how great John and his team are, we were helped on arrive to site our caravan into a plot which was great as it was our first time. The site and facilities were lovely and clean, great pub, the food was lovely. Enjoyed sitting in the garden while the kids played on the little park.We can’t wait to come back again .

Great site, friendly staff. Great food in the pub. Clean showers. Definitely would visit again. We were a party of 3 tents and were able to pitch alongside each other. Electric and non electric pitches available .

We stayed for 2 nights in motorhome. We were made to feel so welcome, just down to earth, friendly family that run the pub/campsite. We ate in the pub and just really nice pleasant service and food. Its not a 5 star environment but everything you need - we'd definitely return.

We spent a night at New Broom and we couldn't have been treated any better. John and the team went that extra mile to ensure we were all set up and felt safe. We had a lovely countryside walk before dining in the pub. The meals were fab, reasonably priced and the safety was well thought out! Thank you!

Local pub, friendly people.Food ok, lamb curry good slightly spicy, pie and mash pretty good. Overall food what you would expect from a pub.Overall pub needs updated. Tables are clean but old.Outside there is a good area for kidsWe will return as we are local and if you pop in you wouldn't be disappoint.

Excellent carvery, and very good value for money. Lovely meat, lots of delicious sides to choose from and perfectly cooked vegetables. Staff were really friendly, and the owner came around to check everything was ok for everyone. We will definitely be returning!

Called as we were passing through the area and signage looked welcoming. Had a warm welcome and the landlord who pointed out that the place was undergoing some improvements following a change of management. The food was pretty much what you would expect at a country pub, no better no worse. Served nice and hot but lacking that really good score. Would go again if we were hungry and needed somewhere to eat. The new landlord seemed enthusiastic to make improvements so probably worth another visit in a month or so.

Really nice meal. It was very busy ,but the food was good value ,considering it was Christmas Day..Staff very friendly.

Met up with friends and had excellent meal very friendly staff,the food was delicious and served promptly.

Went to the new Broom after seeing the reviews when we entered the pub met by the owner who asked " have you come for food"replied yes we booked.He informed us the food staff had not arrived.He came across not seeming to care he just sat down in a chair and began to watch the TV.Luckily we had a plan B so our night was not a right off which will be reviewed later tonight.

Arrived 1 pm our table was ready straight away,it was looking good with crackers and decorations. This is a family run restaurant, the owners and staff are so friendly nothing was too much trouble for them.We all had a traditional Christmas lunch + I Vegan meal,everyone enjoyed the food.There was a very pleasant atmosphere,we will definatley have a return visit.

My steak was so soft that I didn’t need a steak knife. It was cooked to perfection and very tasty. The home made black pudding and potato hash cake starter was amazing, with an egg on top too. The steak was only £7.00 as it was grill night. Will definitely be going again.

Staff friendly. Service was fine. The reason i have given it four marks instead of five is we had the carvery and i had the beef which i found was a touch on the tough side. The rest of my family had the turkey which they said was excellent. All the rest of the carvery was fine. So be warned about the beef. We had deserts which were fine.

We really enjoyed our carvery and it is obvious that the new managers have seriously improved the establishment and are working very hard to build the pub back up again.

Went for a few drinks with friends and all I can say is that the owner has no customer service skills whatsoever- horrible people skills and frankly made me feel uncomfortable- if you’re looking for a nice place to visit with lovely staff members don’t go HERE, also the drinks are way overpriced absolutely ridiculous. Will not be returning to this place

We decided to pop into the New Broom again as we had been before but not for a while and we weren't disappointed! We managed get a table without booking as we arrived early so there was tables available and we were served straight away with our drinks. The food came fairly quickly, but not too quickly, and was fresh and hot and very tasty. We had starters of pate and prawn cocktail, which were good and for mains we had the battered fish and chips and the carvery gammon. The batter on the fish was fresh, thin and crispy and the gammon was a proper piece of meat! It was very reasonably priced and we will definitely go back again!

Found the New Broom on our way back from Derby to Stoke.

Hospitality! I don’t think the landlord knows what the word means! Rude! Yes he knows what that is! Food was a buffet. I didn’t think samosas and chicken nuggets were served cold. Not impressed at all!

On Saturday night we attended the pub with some friends to try a Pizza and have a few drinks. We noticed a large party at the bar who appeared to be disgruntled, shouting and screaming at the owners., The pub itself is a lovely quiet pub for locals and non locals alike with a generous dining room and a nice drinking area at the front. From what we could see this large party were shouting at the locals, hurling insults and one young girl even pushed another woman. From what I heard they had had a bad steak and all 14 of them refused to pay for any meal that they had, which doesn't seem fair. I can only presume they had been to the races all day (midlands grand national) and hadn't won so couldn't afford their meal. They were very aggressive towards the locals and the managers themselves with even their young children joining in the action and calling people hillbillys. The pub didn't deserve any of this and the locals were sticking up for their lovely local pub. The new broom welcomes everyone who wants to pay for their food with a lovely environment and great staff....and not one hillbilly in site.

Booked for a party of 14 with 2 weeks notice.

It's our local pub which has been under various management oover the years, never quite making it.

What a lovely pub and friendly staff, had carvery on Sunday which was fresh and plentiful. Good beer too. Marston Peddy. Certainly visit again, also has a massive beer garden.

We had very enjoyable Saturday night out. There was fab entertainment. New managment were very welcoming and attentive to all our needs. We would recommend to everyone this place.

I came here after seeing the advert in the sentinel so came with my husband and daughter and had a fantastic carvery on Sunday. It's a lovely clean pub and is very welcoming and warm. The couple who run this pub are really approachable and chatty we can't wait to return for many more family meals and in the summer for the beer garden and play area outside. The new broom is child friendly and they have highchairs available, my daughter takes a while to warm to people but by the end of the meal she was laughing and babbling to the managers and had really warmed to them. They have a function room too which after the brilliant experience we had we decided to book for my daughter's birthday. Highly recommend visiting this pub we're glad we did.

If you like road side cafe food you’ll like this place, the food was awful the atmosphere even worse

Went to the New broom just taken over by new people in the sentinel giving discount to familes only to find out its for JCB only the Owner Phil Stated that JCB only badges and the Staffordshire paper says 20% discounts to families I was very disappointed so I left.

Had a great experience here. Lovely carvery, great selection, and friendly people who have just taken over. Will definitely call again when in the area. Hope the new couple do well.

I went there for the carvery absolute first class only thing I would say is gravy could have been thicker a bit watery but would not stop me going again great staff and service have booked fir Christmas dinner 👍

This pub looks lovely...and the food is great! There is a large area for the kids and a massive car park. Drinks are well priced and there is a function room with a bar if you need something for an event.

My niece had booked a table for 12 on this special day to take advantage of their special offer. They did not knowvshebhad booked but got table ready. Every one had ARRIVED by 7pm had to order drinks at bar while there were 3 waitresses standing at the end of the bar doing nothing, there was only 2 other tables in the restaurant and 4 people at the bar, it looked like the manageress was doing everything trying to train unresponsive staff at the same time, she said she would take our order instead of coming to the bar as we were a big party, we ordered then a few minutes later told some of the items were not available and could we reorder. Fine so far, the food started to arrive in bits and drabs with items left off and not very warm lasagne, burgers did look amazing but no cheese or coleslaw on one, 4 onion rings on one steak none on another asked if that was the £2.60 extra portion no tomatoes with the steaks, most people had finished before the 2 curries came and must of been nearly three quarters of an hour before the cottage pie ARRIVED to the last person, both the Lasagne and the cottage pie looked like microwave wonders of poor quality, the staff really did not seem bothered and especially on an opening night not what you would expect, after we complained the manergeress gave us a 50% discount for a very spoilt birthday treat, we know if it goes wrong in the kitchen she had little choice but if they had said they were serving burgers only because of staff problems it might of all been better for all

Whilst at a party in the function room we were having a lovey evening laughing and joking with friends, the function room itself was lovely - the service however from one bar man in particular was extremely rude completely ignoring people as they aproached the bar leaving it unattended regularly ignored the request of toilet paper for the ladies room and was unpleasant the whole evening. I know at a party especially after a few drinks people tend to get giddy but what was an innocent joke turn into a very hostile reaction from the bar man loudly screaming in my face and threatening me of having me done for theft for touching the bar tap, I know I was wrong to do so and did apologise straight away this turned nasty very quickly and was completely out of order !!

told no food on at 20:45 - walk into bar at 21:45 and someones eating a fresh bowl of chips - again turned down for food as they said the fryer was off... bought two pints & just wanted something to eat, no snacks behind bar... pretty rubbish really!! we came in and it was quiet... was gonna leave positive review to try and get more people to come as we felt bad, but not now - prices reasonable to be fair

Disgusted by the service here. One member of staff serving and didn’t feel welcome at all. Food was disgraceful my partners salad was off and smelt terrible. Chips under cooked and basically had to leave it couldn’t wait to leave won’t be returning do NOT recommend at all. Disappointed as we had our child with us do not expect it not a nice family environment at all! avoid!

This place is just amazing 8 of us stayed 2 nights camping edd the landlord couldnt do enough for us. The entertainment was fantastic. The pub is so lovley the food is 5 star and plenty of it. Great place great people
