New Finney Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent

Chelsey the barmaid was absolutely lovely and so helpful. We had a party of eight, and she was so patient with us. The chef did amazing, and the plates were all clean when we finished. We’ll be back.

Fantastic food, barstaff are very polite and helpful, beer is well kept never flat...

Called in yesterday not been for a few years wow I’ve been missing out the food was amazing I heard there is a new chef keep up the great work

Just like to share this with whoever knows me

Nice prawn cocktail and lovely coffee. Quite quiet but nice for a little meeting so we could talk and sort

A lovely pub Good food Friendly stay

Good beer and food and the staff are all very pleasant it hasn't changed the beer is still good and the food is still good to eat

Great place for all the family very welcoming and friendly people will definitely revisit.

We go here regularly great laugh and atmosphere and entertainment friendly staff

Staff very rude not a good place

Cracking day at the Finney for the outdoor funday, Hayley and team are the perfect hosts and made the day a success, looking forward to the next one (hint hint)🙂

We booked the wake at Finney gardens on Wednesday can't thank them enough the food was excellent, service was very professional.

Great staff. I come here just a couple of days in the week, nice settle atmosphere, Bartender great, I usually have two or three drinks only but let’s me pay upfront instead of keep getting my wallet out. Great pub and recommend it.

Pleasant staff Delicious food Fair priced Would defo go again food came out quickly was piping and and tasted great!

Very quiet when I visited midweek, good beer prices, nice to be able to sit outside on a hot evening. Went to play darts on a Friday night, great atmosphere, great people. 👍

Good size pub ,lots of beers to choose from,I didn't eat there

We really enjoyed our visit, even went back later in the day for the entertainment which was excellent! Food was beautiful as always.

Me, my family, and even my dog can have fun here, vibing to the random music (most of the time), sometimes playing snooker, and also drinking some stuff off the amazing menu, overall a fun and lovely place to go with your family and even your dogs!!! 100% go here if your bored one night (or morning/afternoon)

Brilliant fresh food and lovely customer service quick service and pleasant people

First visit lovely Lad behind the bar always tidying up cleaning tables good service, food nice but very slow we waited nearly 1hour and it wasn't that busy

The staff and pub itself were lovely but couldn't be more disappointed with the food. Chicken was overcooked and appeared to have been microwaved. It was piping hot and had gone hard... completely inedible. Price point is too high for the quality of food on offer

Haven't been in for sometime due to different mangers etc came in with my son for valentine's day treat lad behind the bar was so loverly he kept everywhere very clean music was good in the back ground I'm dissatisfied as the chef took just over half hour for some ice cream in between waiting she went out side for a fag also baring in mind turned out table of 6+ had been waiting longer than us for desert!! I'd go again for drinks as it's local but certainly not food

Very friendly pub, went in for a meal with my dad. Food was lovely and Chelsea the bar maid was very funny and friendly. At the weekend there is a mobile barber on the premises outside, burger and a haircut whats not to love.

I had one of my favourite party ever there! The food was delicious, but the service that Chelsie provided was perfect - she went about and beyond to ensure that we were having a good time there! Definitely would recommend this place to everyone.

Been here tonight, lovely manager always a smile on her face very friendly and will have a conversation with you.I cant rate the food because iv not eaten there but my daughter and son have and they said it was lovely, so credit were credit is due. Lovely atmosphere service amazing 👏 keep it up guys

We make a birthday party for a friend here and I must say it was an outstanding experience. The warm reception, fantastic ambiance, delicious food, and impeccable service made the celebration truly memorable. Highly recommended for any occasion!

A lovely pub! Me and my partner went into the New Finney Gardens this afternoon for a bite to eat whilst my car was being serviced down the road. We were greeted by a very smiley and very chatty barmaid, Chelsea. I asked for a couple recommendations and she happily provided me with some. We ultimately went for the ultimate southern fried chicken burger x2. The burger was beautifully cooked, fries and onion rings too. All at a decent price too. Chelsea and the chef are a credit to the pub and lll be back in there whenever I have to go back to service my car for sure!!

We’ve been a few times now for food, always been lovely - especially the Sunday lunch! Plenty of food and it’s served hot! Staff are lovely and take time to speak to you, will definitely be back!

Fantastic pub, great staff, delicious food, wide selection of drinks. Highly recommended

Beers good food good staff excellent people need to use it or lose it

Great atmosphere, super service since being taken over by new landlady. Food is always ok 👍🏻 Love bands are good, and karaoke 🎤 is way better since dj nic nic has gone.

It's a good old pub not many pubs left in bucknall now. It was nice to go in their again and see Mr Fenton, great staff and service.

Don’t go on a Friday/Saturday night as Dj NickNick James is a narcissistic bully to women , he puts on a front in the pub but a little man with attitude behind closed doors , hates women and children and he’s a racist , so save your money, just ask his many ex fiancés.. the pub is great without him in it , owned by new owners who try to keep the riff raff out the pub ..& chef knows how to cook too .. lovely food but pricey alcohol x

Had meal and drinks prices reasonable food good,called midweek reasonably busy,but live music at weekends, so yes decent place with friendly staff,

The chocolate fudge cake is one of the best slices of cake I've ever had.

Been for lunch today was lovely food, friendly atmosphere and great service

Took the children for the kids eat for £1 deal ! Food was absolutely lovely the fish was huge and really tasty ! Kids meals are generously portioned too x lovely staff and a nice clean dining area ! Definitely will be back again during the school holidays with this fantastic deal !

Food was lovely and staff lovely too xx

Since new owners have taken over the finny Gardens the food its absolutely 💯 spot on the service is very good and the staff welcomed me with a smile and entertainment at the weekends ie bands are brilliant well done to hayley and staff keep up the good work xxxx

Lovely food and brilliant service. We booked to go on Saturday again, keep up the fab work Hayley and team, see you soon xx

Called in for some food as now under new management - steak and fish both delicious will definitely be back Great service and atmosphere

We arrived at the new Finney at 3.55pm. We were going to have Sunday lunch. However the lady behind the bar informed us that the kitchen closes at 4pm on Sunday. No where on the menu or website does it state this. So we had a wasted journey

Has recently been taken over by a lovely man named Alex, atmosphere is great in there and he's bringing it back to life.

Been to the new Finney Gardens a few times since the new Landlord has taken over and i cant fault the place,

Managed to get there at long last to one of nicks karaoke gigs. on sat 24th june. a super pub and a huge pub too with acres of space for entertainment etc and good service a brill owner in alex who sang mustang sally during the night. and super salt n pepper chips too luv em. we will definately be going there again asap the atmosphere is very friendly and inviting. 😉👍👏🤜🤛 Dave & shell from leek

Ordered classic burger for the lady say we didnt we ordered classic chicken when we dont even eat chicken and the glasses for the drinks were filthy with lipstick 🤬

First time here and hardly any food available on the menu other than a chicken dinner, well all i can say is its not even worth the one star ive given to it. Chicken was bone dry like it had been on a rotisserie since wednesday, roast potatoes were rock hard and unedible, veg tasted of nothing and was over cooked. Manager asked why food was untouched and when told the food was disgusting and showed him the state of the meat, all we got was sorry guys! Wondered why it was empty on a sunday, wont make this mistake again ill carry on up the road and go the ash bank

Staff are polite and helpful except for the manager ( the older and shorter female staff member) I have witnessed quite a few customers take their pints of moreti back to the bar because they weren't happy with it,I also heard the manager tell an unhappy customer that she couldn't keep replacing drinks as it would cost her money,she seems to think that the substandard moreti hasn't cost the customer any money .haha if she stops charging money for substandard moreti and rectifies the problem then I the customers won't return the beer which they have spent hard earned money on .

First visit and thoroughly enjoyed it. The lady behind the bar was really friendly, the food was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely go back again and try some other options off very extensive menu.

had a good time with family, some nice meals and couple of pints loved it will come again

great pub, staff are really nice and easy going, loved it

amazing pub, great staff, lovely meal and nice cold pint what else could you ask for went home in peace thank you new finney gardens

Wonderful service and food! Thank you, we will be returning 😊

Lovely pub great staff beautiful food for a good price excellent pint highly recommend

First time I've been for food very nice staff lovely well done 👏 xx

Christmas Day Dinner was a shambles! I wasn't going to write this but as I have seen all the 5 star reviews that have been written, I would like to express a real experience. Had to wait well over an hour for our main, we were asked by two members of staff if we had already ate it. After the main arrived, we waited another 40 minutes for pudding which I decided to go ask for as we had been sitting in the pub since 1:25 and was still waiting for the pudding at 3.40. When I asked the lady behind the bar, she was really surprised and went to check. She came back and said the chef had gone home a while ago because he said he had served everyone. Went out for a three course meal and ended up with two. A lot of sitting around and missed plans because of the waiting times. Definitely will not be returning. There was a lot of other comments we heard throughout the pub about the waiting, the food and how bad there experience had been. One couple were outed infront of the whole pub about if he had paid or not. Music kept going on and off all the time, blaring one minute, none the next. I have complained through the official website but I am still waiting to hear back.

1 hour 10 mins from finishing starter to main. No bubbly as promised. Not very well managed.

Came for Christmas dinner was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend anyone to go there staff was so friendly and welcoming Tracey and Caroline and all the others don’t really know names was amazing definitely going again ☺️

I had a lovely family meal here , the place was decorated beautifully , the vibe of the place was happy and cheerful , and the chefs deserve all the compliments they got because the Christmas meal was perfect. I will always come here with family for a nice meal or a drink. Thankyou for an amazing day again ! ☺️

Came in for Christmas Dinner and it was absolutely amazing, staff were very helpful and service was very quick,especially liked the mint dome pudding!Will be back again next year!

amazing pub!! perfect atmosphere, lovely staff and drinks. great food and beautiful christmas dinner!!! x

We had Christmas lunch here yesterday and it was superb! We were initially a little apprehensive as it was packed out but we received our food withing 45 minutes and it was hot and fresh and very enjoyable! Given how manic it was the staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Really happy we booked in here for Christmas and will make sure we book in for Christmas 2023. Thank you all at New finney Gardens 😊

Good food and friendly service thanks 😊

Great place to visit for hot and cold drinks and hot and cold foods and snacks

Went to the new Finney gardens this afternoon for lunch and I have to say the steak was absolutely amazing. The best meal I've had in a pub for a long time. All hot and tasty and fantastic value for money. Will definitely go back very soon and highly recommend.

Love warm welcoming environment very clean and tidy really polite and friendly staff service great selection of food on the menus

I don't like this place much because I had to wait almost an hour for a burger just one burger. The seats are good but the staff are like very depressed from working there. But the food Is nice.

me and my partner came to visit for the first time today best meal in a long time we are going to make it our local

Only went for drink very friendly staff, food smelt lovely will definitely call again xx

Really good service at the new finney,friendly staff and the place is always clean and looked after,would recommend if just going for a qiuet drink or booking a function,enjoyed my time there.

Staff were lovely and attentive. Clean and tidy. Worth a visit

Terrible!!!!! Had to wait 50 minutes for the meal we ordered Lasagna when it came out it was burnt and extremely dry! Then they charged us £2.95 for 1 slice of garlic bread when we questioned this they were very rude and argumentative with us.

Food amazing steak cooked really well bar staff helpful 👌

Wednesday night curry night absolutely lovely for £6 you get the curry, rice, nan bread, poppadom, and chutney well worth the money staff are always nice and polite

Great atmosphere fantastic food polite staff always have something happening at the weekend well worth a visit

Fantastic service with amazing staff. Excellent 👏

It was ok nothing special typical pub in these times.

We only popped in for a drink and ended up staying longer than planned as the atmosphere was great and Staff were lovely and welcoming especially to new faces. Will be calling in again

Caroline and the team were so welcoming. Great atmosphere, food good and prompt service too. Definitely return soon. Thanks.

I have been twice in the last fortnight...previously I chose the salmon you can't really go wrong with salmon...but to my dismay the top half was hard..either overcooked under a grill or microwave...last time I went was yesterday thought I'd try something different...hot turkey and stuffing baggete with chips and side salad...not hot at all just aired was cut or torn into very large pieces not very palletable...baggete was definitely microwaved should be cooked in oven so as to come out slightly crunchy on the outside...was soft and very doey the chips came out all soggy not freshly cooked at all...think the oil needs changing...not all bad news the salad was perfect although that's hard to get wrong...I had a mouthful and left the rest on my plate and to my dismay the chef removed my almost full plate and asked me if I'd enjoyed my meal...I've been going here a lot of years and am disappointed in the drop of standard 😕

Pros - Food was okay and the decor was different. Cons - Slow service, opened late and the portion size on the grill is smaller than others.

The food was nice - when we eventually got it! I don't understand why it took nearly an hour for 4 covers of sandwiches, a salad and some chips? We were told the delay was because the pub was busier than usual, but it wasn't full by a long stretch.

Food was good our issue was it took so long to get it, The staff were pleasant apart from who I believe was the landlady who was very rude

Fantastic pub with many games darts' pool' dominoes and more.

Had Sunday lunch today and have to say the food was absolutely lovely. Portion sizes were very good, service with a smile the staff couldn't of been more helpful. Would highly recommend… thank you
