Offley Arms in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Without a doubt, this was the best Sunday dinner we’ve had in a long time! And there’s no better place to enjoy it than at the Offley Arms. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, made even better by the extremely friendly and welcoming staff who truly make you feel at home. It’s also the best pub in the area for our furry friends—pet-friendly and accommodating in every way. If you’re looking for a great meal and a cosy, relaxed vibe, the Offley Arms is a must-visit!

The Offley Arms is an old, quaint, village pub in Madeley village opposite the lovely Madeley pool area The pub has unusual industrial and historic decor. We we all extremely impressed by the amazing staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome they were attentive, very friendly, and polite, Nicky and Lois have clearly done a fantastic job in training and supporting their staff so congratulations to them plus……,recognition to how they’ve reinvigorated The Offley Arms it’s a real credit to them. Exceptional food, cooked and served to absolute perfection, excellent value for money, the menu catered for all dietary requirements and the servings were generous. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we will be visiting you again thank you.

Delightful food, beautifully cooked and presented which never ever fails us. The Tapas today was scrumptious, especially the meatballs, king prawns and mini fish and chips. The staff are very attentive and The Offley is a quintessential village pub set in a glorious location. Recommend the Sunday Roast!

Gorgeous food fantastic staff and always a fantastic experience. Staff are attentive and check on you and never has a bad meal here. Always busy and advise to book in advance to make sure you get a table. Nicky is doing a fantastic job

Thank you Nicky, Lois, Justin and the staff for a cracking Bunnies Breakfast at our splendid village pub. Take a bow. The full English was banging and the kids loved the pancakes & oatcakes. Great Easter Bunny (put him up front at Vale) and pressies for the children.

My wife and I had to pleasure to visit on Thursday 28th we both had an excellent meal I had the cajun chicken and my wife had the salmon they were perfect excellent presentation and flavor so pleased we diverted our journey to call in again well done 🥰. Only one small negative was there was a staff member working the bar who was not very nice at all she was rude and not very welcoming at all such a shame as all of the staff ( with the exemption off 1) were amazing friendly such a shame that 1 scruffy rude person almost spoilt the experience. Happy New year all we will call again

The best thing about The Offley isn’t that it’s a gorgeous welcoming Joules pub in a lovely location, or the delicious food…it’s the staff. Took my mum who has a small appetite and can only eat soft foods for Sunday lunch. They accommodated her requests and served a lovely small lunch which she throughly enjoyed, thank you for making her day 😊

What can I say, another absolutely amazing function. We had another baby shower here today for my daughter and they didn't disappoint. Nikki and Lois were so professional with the planning and room dressing and the staff were amazing, and thank you to chef Justin for another beautiful spread. We will always book here for our family functions. Thank you 😊 xx

Called here on the way back after a day out. Yet again another fantastic meal in a Crackin pub. The burgers are amazing and regularly change the gourmet burger menu. I opted for the beef and oink, a juicy burger patty with BBQ belly pork and “ proper chips” and the side of Stilton sauce finished it off. My wife loves the chicken cesar salad and says it’s the best she’s had, quite offended tbh seen as I’m a chef by trade myself but it’s Justins food so I’ll let him off lol. Thanks again Chef and all the team at the offely arms for another enjoyable visit.

We were very impressed by the quality of the food and service. It was a relatively warm evening so we wanted to eat outside in the garden area. We were not at all happy to see the people at the next table to us allow their dog to sit on the table for the whole of their stay. Another couple let their dog roam around the garden area so that at one point it had pushed between us and ended up under our table while we were eating. This would put us off coming to the Offley Arms again. The staff cannot be responsible for thoughtless behaviour of some of their clients but there were no signs that we saw outlining any rules regarding dogs. It is not hygienic to have a dog sitting on a table that other people are then going to eat off. There were signs about not allowing children to play on the garden - also ignored by one family. Not everyone likes dogs and we think staff should be empowered to ask dog owners to behave responsibly and considerately to other customers - dogs should remain on the ground and at the table with their owners not roaming about.

We booked The Offley Arms for our son’s birthday get together after attending a party there earlier in the year. The team were fantastic and the buffet was just amazing, all our guests (around 35) commented on how good the food was and what a lovely pub too. I’d worried I’d not catered for enough people and staff reassured me I had, they were not wrong, the food just kept coming!

Called in for an early evening drink and spotted the Artisan platter on the bar menu board. Ordered one between us and it was absolutely delicious ! Very generous portions of cheese, chorizo, ham, fruits, nuts & crackers , etc and very reasonably priced too. We will definitely choose this again when we’re next in ! Cath

This place is getting a great reputation for it's food and i can see why. Been several times for the Sunday roast and its outstanding. A small dinner with extra meat is just the perfect size.

Stunning food yet again, called in again as was in the area, food was amazing yet again as was the service. This has definitely become our favourite pub to eat aswell as drink lol. The portions are more than enough and all cooked fresh, non of that ping cookery in this place that’s for sure. Compliments once again to chef Justin and the fabulous staff that run this hidden gem.

Called in here on Father’s Day weekend. Never been before and we were very impressed. The pub itself is a lot bigger than you think with plenty of dining areas and is nicely fitted out and very clean. Service was prompt and the staff are great. The food was delicious and most importantly cooked fresh on site. I had the burger with a Stilton sauce and it was one of the best burgers I’ve had. I’ve known Justin (chef) for a while now and I know his food never disappoints so have been meaning call in for a while now since I knew he was here. To finish off I just had to have the sticky toffee pudding which is my favourite dessert ever lol it was nice and light with a banging toffee sauce and ice cream. We will definitely be back and this time hopefully catch up with justin as he was slightly busy today. Thank you everyone and thank you Justin for some great food as always.

I came here for my Birthday/ Early fathers Day celebrations, could not fault the Sunday roast was lovely; all the puddings apart from mine were fantastic; the Creme brulee let things down, the top was not crunchy, and the consistency just ran off the spoon and was not set.

We had a fabulous lunch today, it was our first visit but won’t be the last. The young waitress with the blonde hair, was so friendly and efficient, just wanted to say she is a credit to your staff. The food was hot, tasty and the small roast was by no means small, excellent value for money. The tripadvisor reviews were the reason we chose here and so glad we did, my mum really enjoyed her birthday treat.

Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here using the function room. The landlady (Nicky) and all staff went absolutely above and beyond to listen to what we wanted. The food and service was faultless, and always with a smile! Great atmosphere, Fully recommend. Couldn't fault the night in any way. Millie and Dave

We had a lovely Sunday Roast at the Offley with our family. Sat in the main restaurant area, Service was spot on with very attentive staff. Great portion sizes! Lamb & beef dinners all delicious followed by a few desserts, again all really enjoyed. Great place for family and friends, I know they have just revamped the menu, the new meal selections look really good.

Looking at the trip advisor reviews we decided to come for our anniversary 6th year anniversary lunch, lots of expectations after reading the reviews. On arrival it was empty but the lady serving was nice and friendly. Lovely menu. The meal came and my steak was well over cooked but I’m not that person to complain. The bill was nearly £80. Crazy. Food average. Place ok. Service good. Would I visit again?? Sadly no.

Sunday lunch is unreal. It’s a bit pricey but it’s so so tasty. Pub itself is very pretty too. Downsides I can mention are that there was no kids Sunday lunch so my son had a £13 meal. Roasties we’re undercooked. No starters available on...

Excellent food. Reasonably priced. In a little pub environment. Good parking. Nice view from the table. Nice atmosphere.

5 star food, service and staff for my Uncles 70th Birthday lunch and Mothers Day. Thank you Offley you are a hidden 5 star treasure.

It was extremely busy. Staff and management checked in with us often. I knew this was a busy night after our visit for entertainment. However. Staff brilliant. As was the food. We ordered small portion. But not small. So we enjoyed a fabulous crème brulé...

Our first time here today for Sunday lunch and we will definitely be back ! Proper home cooked food and very generous portions. Friendly and cheery staff too !

Lovely meal on the reduced pensioners menu. The food was amazing value, tasty and a very adequate portion. Staff were friendly and attentive. All our party were very happy with their meals. Living locally will definitely return again. Highly recommend you try it.

We detoured from the M6 to have a perfect family lunch with 2 children and 2 dogs, followed by a short walk around the pretty large village pond opposite the pub. Lovely food, plenty of choice, good service, reasonable price and a very pleasant outlook....

Sunday (21/8/22) was my first visit to the Offley Arms. The food was incredible and probably the best Sunday roast that I have had out. The staff were also brilliant and extremely attentive. I can see why it was so busy as the standard is...

I’m a past resident of Madeley and the offley arms has always under performed in the cuisine department (regardless of the landlord) in the past, so my expectations were limited My family of eight adults were blown away with the quality of food, coupled with...

Absolutely brilliant food could not fault it. And the service was really good and will definitely be eating there again soo.

This was the first time at the Offley Arms and I can say that after today's experience it will definitely not be the last. Charming pub and great food. So we had the Artisan Platter boards .... Ploughman's and the Mediterranean .... wow what can...

Best Sunday dinner I've ever had! Its worth booking though to ensure they have space. Seen a sign saying it's dog friendly too so that's fab

Superb in every respect. We went for Sunday lunch which was quite honestly one of the best we've had in ages and staff also couldn't do enough for us. The lunch was brilliant cooked, came quickly and was plentiful...if you like a good feed this...

We were staying nearby and this restaurant was recommended by our accommodation. We we’re welcomed in and sat quickly by very helpful staff. The menus was pretty standard pub food and with a good range of veggie and vegan dishes. We had the 3 bean...

I had supper in the Offley Arms. Quality was high and portion-sizes were ideal. Menu was extensive with both staple fare and interesting dishes.

Well, what a different story this time. Our 1st review from the second day the Offley re-opened wasn't too complimentary, however, this weekends venture in there found a vast improvement. Maybe teething problems and inexperience caused our initial visit to be somewhat under par. Although...

Visited with a couple of work friends for lunch. Food was delicious, service fabulous, nothing too much trouble, excellent value for money. The atmosphere was warm, friendly and relaxed. Well spaced out tables so you're not on top of other diners. Looking forward to visiting...

Dined here while staying very close by. We called in for a drink and to see what the food offerings were like and went and found a seat at the far end of the dining area near the cosy fire. Very good menu choice with...

Visited here today with family for Mother’s Day Sunday lunch . The standard of food was exceptional. The beef was perfectly tender & the selection and quality of vegetables outstanding.

This place is absolutely brilliant the food and service are amazing Nicky and Mark are fabulous hosts so welcoming Definitely worth a visit will be returning again very soon 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I visited the Offley arms with a few first as it has just reopened and I am very pleased with the experience I had! Very clean and nice and modern! Brilliant service and fair prices! Overall a brilliant experience👍🏼

So glad it’s back open with such friendly staff. Definitely going to have to go back when food is up sorted. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be going more regularly

It reopened again yesterday (19th Feb 2021) with new managers. Went in today to see what was it now like. No Vodka, although there is a mini-market 100 yards down the road where a bottle can be bought. The ales appear to be all Joules...

My first visit to this pub...welcoming fire ,nice decor and tables well laid out. The staff were little slow but pleasant. Ordered the fun guy burger and it was absolutely gorgeous...amazing chips and all freshly cooked to order. Coffee was lovely too

A recent visit was very mixed, the food was very good indeed but the service was terrible. It was our first visit and on arrival weren't sure where to go one of the servers went past us rather quickly and said "the bar is over...

We used to have the occasional Sunday dinner when Tim and Jay had their old place. It was always great as it has been on the occasions we have been here. Lovely food even though we can never eat it all! Great range of beers.

Enjoyed a very comfortable lunchtime with Tim and his team. Plumped for a pizza and a couple of pints. Food was very tasty from their pizza oven and friendly service.
