Peel Arms in Newcastle-under-Lyme

After our first visit to The Peel Arms for an evening meal, we decided to return as our experience was second-to-none. As for our previous visit, the meal was excellent: hot, tasty and all served by excellent staff: warm and friendly. I'm so pleased that we have found this gorgeous country pub - it is a real gem and the new landlord and landlady (Alex and Louise) have made an impressive start to their new venture. I would, without reservation, highly recommend you experience this diamond - I guarantee that you would not be disappointed.

The Peel has had a makeover & is looking fab! The new team have created a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. A large group of us went for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent: hot & well cooked. Service is also excellent. There is a very good choice of wines & cask ales. I wholeheartedly recommend!

Great to have food back on the menu. Had the pie which was very tasty. Lovely food and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back again soon.

Super breakfast, cooked to perfection, would highly recommend a visit. Staff were very pleasant and efficient.

We have been for both breakfast and Sunday lunch in the past week and both were fabulous. A full cooked breakfast with quality ingredients for just £9.50 and Sunday lunch will homemade yorkshires,roast potatoes and all the trimmings for just £12.95. There is also a great choice of real ales and wines and it is now run by a family that have lived in the village for decades. Highly recommended, best to book, it’s going to be busy.

The Peel has a new landlady, but the ambience & food are still excellent! They serve breakfast Wed-Sat from 10am; lunches 12-3.30 Wed -Sat & Sunday lunch from 12-5. Open for drinks on Mon & Tue from 4pm. I have sampled the full English breakfast, tasty & great value. We went for Sunday lunch & enjoyed perfectly cooked beef with all the trimmings, homemade. It was delicious & we will be back. There is a great selection of real ales & wine too. Service is welcoming, friendly & efficient. Recommend.

Amazing food. You don't go home hungry. Best pub grub around. Can't fault the food or drinks. Staff are great and the landlady always comes to say hello and check every is OK. The hot chocolate fudge cake is gorgeous.

Cracking local with fine ales and wholesome food prepared and cooked on the premises. Good value for money and full plates of food. Mains £10-£20. Liver & bacon with onions and all the trimmings is the favourite, but all good! Tribute is the best beer currently. Good size garden with gazebos, and a "Coffin box" outside for those that still smoke!. Large carpark, but does get busy mid week too

We've eaten here many times. The food is excellent. My favourite is the steak & ale pie. The wine choice & beer is also great. We have also found service & the staff to be efficient & super friendly. This is a great local pub. Thoroughly recommend.

We booked for Sunday lunch, my husband asked if we could take the dogs and was informed that we could. We arrived with family and ordered drinks at the bar, I was approached by a member of staff to be told that they did not allow dogs in when they were serving food, I informed her that we had booked and asked if we could bring the dogs. She asked my husband who he had spoken to. She got the landlady to come out to us, who also told us, we don't allow dogs when we are serving food, she was informed that we had rang and asked about the dogs and were told we could bring them. She insinuated that we were lying and said they do not allow dogs, I certainly did not appreciate that, even though my husband spoke to her when he booked, we have also ate in there before, with, guess what, the dog. Both people were very rude, with no apology, both had terrible attitudes. Will definitely not be going in again. Only plus point was a member of the bar staff apologised for them after we had walked out

First and last visit. Ordered beef stroganoff with rice to be told after 20 minutes there was no rice!! When meal arrived meat was beef stew and not very tasty. Other meal a pie which had to be replaced due to a crust like concrete. When paying the chap behind the bar was not in the least interested. We would have returned the meals but had small child with us and could not delay meal.

We went for a meal tonight and we were so disapointed, we had been recommended this pub by many people so we decided to give it a go. We were told after waiting for 25minutes that there was no rice to go with the Beef Stroganoff, so there was time to change my mums food choice. We then waited 40 minutes for the food, gravy was light water, no flavour. I had the steak pie, the pastry on top was like a brick so I sent it back, it came back not very warm with no taste. My mum had the stroganoff and it was the worst food she has ever had, it was nothing like it should be and was in a thick brown sauce was so bitter.

Plain, tasty food in a cosy traditional country pub. Simple and good value. Very pleasant staff. Would recommend for a basic and filling meal served quickly.

Beautiful meal here last night, the braised steak was phenomenal, my partner had the steak pie, which he said was excellent and proper home made chips, extremely good value for money, most mains only £9, this was our second visit and we were certainly not disappointed, we will be back very soon.

What a lovely surprise to find a hostelry we hadn’t visited for a few years but with such an amazing outcome! Cosy welcoming atmosphere, a locals pub too, ( lucky you on your door step) . Fully booked on arrival. The printed menu was fine but the Specials board excelled! Cooked for you so expect a bit of a wait but enjoy! Home cooking at its best . Rarely find it these days. And the puds! Well, say no more! Thank you for reminding us about real home cooking!

I visited at the weekend and had braised steak, chips and veg. It was delicious quality food and a good portion size. I visited again the following day (Sunday) with my partner. I had the roast beef lunch which was again superb and filled me up and I have a big appetite! My partner had home made veggie chilli and chips which she enjoyed. Service is fast and efficient. To summarise.....the Peel Arms kitchen staff pay attention to detail with the food they serve and that also means attention to quality!!!!!! We recommend the food totally. It's a friendly pub with friendly staff.

Fantastic meal and welcome when we visited Peel Arms on 7/10/21. We met up with a dear friend en route to Yorkshire. Great start to our holiday. definitely visit when in Drayton again Welsh girl

Arrived at The Peels Arms without booking. They were super-busy but managed to find us a nice table in a quiet corner. The specials menu is brilliant! So much choice and a real home-cooked feel to it all. We had two fantastic home cooked dinners (mushroom stroganoff and chicken fillet in mushroom sauce), two beers and a glass of wine all for £30! The food was proper home-cooked, fresh and piping hot with lovely fresh vegs - cauliflower, peas and carrots. Everyone was friendly; the pub feels clean and cared for - polished brass and properly watered plants that aren't plastic or half-dead. We really liked it. Thanks to the proprietors who we think might have been beavering away in the kitchen and waved goodbye through the window as we left. We had a lovely time - thank you for taking the trouble to be great hosts.

The Peel was recommended to us by both the owners of our caravan site and fellow campers - and they weren't wrong. The food was excellent! The steak pie was one of the best I have ever eaten, ribs were tasty and tender and the price was excellent - rarely have I seen such a good value burger! In turn, we recommended it to another family, who were equally impressed.The staff and other customers were very friendly and welcoming. On the night we visited it was auction night to raise money for charity, and it was great to see how many people turned up, such great community spirit.Lovely pub and lovely people and lovely food!

I come here Everytime I visit family in Market Drayton..The food is Always Excellent and As for the chips the best by far ..Excellent service fast service..And great to be told to please do the track and Trace .Waitress and Waiter where lovely....

The Peel is a fabulous friendly pub where both the food and the service are guaranteed to be excellent.

Superb! Christmas Dinner. Margaret put on a special evening in lieu of Dec being cancelled. The pub was decorated; the food was sperb & we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Absolutely faultless, with lots of extra touches. Just wonderful.

I was staying with a friend in the area and as a thank you I decided to treat both her and her sister to a meal. We decided on a starter and mains. 2 prawn cocktails, breaded mushrooms. Lasagne, Scampi and Shoulder of lamb. We all agreed that it was wonderful home cooking. Not pretentious, but nicely cooked fresh vegetables and good quality meat. The cook, not sure if she was the owner came front of house to ask about our experience. We could tell it was important to her and this was great to see. Btw, the portions were pretty sizeable, but it was so tasty, we managed to eat it all. We can’t wait to go back there again.

Roast Beef on Sunday evening was simply gorgeous at every level - in fact even better than I can describe. Beautiful food and amazing value for money

First time trying, not disappointed! Was busy however friendly staff and food didn’t take too long. Kitchen staff really caring; i ordered a cajun chicken meal and she accidentally put cheese on but this was quickly removed before cooking. The lady came to our table and checked that I wasn’t allergic to cheese before the meal arrived- can’t imagine many chef’s coming out to check!! Really nice pub grub will definitely return.

On our way to Shrewsbury for a post Covid break, we looked on Google maps and compared establishments, this stood out in terms of reviews and good words spoken.A beautiful Sunday we arrived on time, The pub is situated in a village called Ashley, The locals are lucky to have such a quality pub on their doorsteps.Timothy Taylor landlord on draught, excellent start, Sunday dinner 8.95, we were in a group of 4, the food was excellent value and fresh, we finished a final drink in the sublime beer garden, very spacious and the staff did an excellent job.COVID TRACK AND TRACE was also put to good use and we didn't feel at all disrupted or bothered.We will happily attend here again when we return to Shropshire

used frequently over the years rarely disappointed all cooked by margaret (landlady) good portions well cooked and varied menu

We’ve been here for a few times on a Sunday for a Sunday dinner When we’re in the area and it’s always beautiful. Came to visit on a Saturday and had the plaice andChips and a beef baguette with chips. Food absolutely delicious as always, lovely staff and nice atmosphere. Can’t recommend it enough!

Ww both enjoyed a great meal. Steak was cooked perfectly. Lovely relaxed atmosphere will definitely return.

Good honest home cooked food in a traditional British pub, good service, fair prices and decent beer too, how could you possibly go wrong at the Peel?

Always a great dining experience. Always friendly service and atmosphere. All home made food - steak and kidney pie is fabulous but the Lamb Henry is exceptional!

Visited here yesterday, lovely cosy pub with no fruit machines ,no loud music,just a typical English country pub, extensive menu of typical pub food, reasonably priced, service was prompt all the meals came out at the same time and it was piping hot,there were 8 of us so that’s all credit to the kitchen,it was our first visit but I would go back if we were in the area , worth a visit, very friendly land lady, just one bar staff not so friendly all in all a good pub

Went out with old friends for a catch upThe ambience is good,no annoying music pumping out.I had the cod with chips and mushy peas.To be honest it was nothing special as the chips were very poor,just bitty.The desert of ginger pudding with custard was to die for.Would go again and would recommend,I just picked the wrong meal,there is a good choice.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and customers, great food. I have coeliac disease and they do their best to adapt anything on the menu if they can which is wonderful for me. We are now locals and regulars!

Went with family yesterday and we had a choice of roast lamb, pork or beef. I had the lamb and it was cooked to perfection. Other family members had the beef and they said it was lovely too. Delicious vegetables and a Yorkshire pudding all for £8.95. The puddings looked delightful but I didn't have one as too full from the roast! Very small pub but it gets very busy so you must book to secure a table. Friendly staff and locals. Has a beer garden too. Highly recommend.

Wow where do I start, lovely country inn , went as a birthday party of 12 soon as you walk in the food smells devine. Veg soup to die for, Steak one of the best I have had choice of salad or veg with steak which was plentiful. Everyone of us came away happy having had a beautiful time. All the food was served at the same time and piping hot, booked again, bookings are a must as the quality is outstanding and certainly brings in the diners. wish I lived a little closer as this would be my regular, lovely atmosphere as well

Called in at 1 o’clock midweek.unfortunately food was only served from 6pm. This was shown on boards outside the pub so my fault for not checking out before coming. Stayed for a beer, checked the menu which was typical pub grub. Pub had a nice cosy atmosphere so might try again some time in the future.

I organised our works Xmas party for 24 people at the Peel Arms in December and have to say we all had a lovely time. The atmosphere was good, the food well cooked and the service great. After two years of bad experiences at other pubs in the area it was nice to finally find a pub that could serve a good quality, hot turkey dinner that was both plentiful and tasty. We will be back next year.

We took over this pub today to celebrate the life of a lost loved one. Ideal venue, good food, drinks - including hot mulled wine and a warm cosy fire. Recommend

This is our second time for Sunday lunch here, the first visit earlier this year was OK and we gave them the benefit of doubt as they were ver6 busy due to Easter Holidays, I’m afraid this time will be the last, Food was at best veryaverage and service poor, bar staff surely and short with us when ordering, Now any good Sunday lunch will always have plenty of vegetables as these are cheap ? But one boiled potato ( still hard ) and two tiny roasts, 1 tiny parsnip, some warm carrots and bland cauliflower topped it off... meat was fine and nicely cooked but again very little of it. At £9 it’s not expensive but surely you can do better than this. Many better options in the area and would rather pay a couple of ££ more for better food and service.

Whenever we want a good home cooked meal we go to the Peel. Margaret's steak and ale pie is the best you will ever taste with proper home made chips as well! Always a welcome and lovely atmosphere. Have been going for years and have never had a bad meal.

This hostelry offer the most comprehensive menu anywhere in Staffordshire. Everything is cooked to perfection. The service is excellent as is the cost. We and friends eat here every week and have never been disappointed hence we keep returning. It is pleasing when you can talk to the owner, chefs, staff and other customers in a very friendly manner.

It has taken me a good few weeks to get over the shock of how shocking this place was.

We wanted a traditional country pub that had not been jazzed up and that is what we found. Traditionally food in a traditional English pub, with a great atmosphere to add to the day. A good menu so if you fancy something other than sausage and chips. Some of the fixed seating is quite upright but I noticed a lady had requested a cushion so nothing is too much trouble. Good sized garden with plenty of space for children. Overall, it does what it says on the label, homemade food at good prices at a friendly pub!

Lovely meal, attentive staff. Fantastic Mothers Day Meal, 12 of us had a great meal, the staff are fantastic, food well cooked, a brilliant time had by all. Thank you to The Weaver Family and Staff.

The Peel Arms is a warm and inviting public house which serves excellent food. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Delicious food, friendly service and a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Great for a friends get together or for dining as a family group. Margaret is always welcoming and cheerful and her food never disappoints.

The food is okay but the only thing that you and your kids might like is the little garden with the slides and play houses that will cheer you up and the Christmas fare was good everyone was happy and there was beautiful carols being sung x

Rude lady with white hair behind the bar didnt acknowledge that we were there as she carried on her conversation with another couple for about 5 mins. It's a good thing we like the food there as we would have left. She then removed the menus from the table without asking whether we had chosen.I don't think the landlady Margaret was around on the night but feel she ought to know. The food was good as always which is what we went for.

A friendly village pub that we use regularly. We went for our annual Christmas meal last weekend. Starter, Main, Dessert and Coffee with Mince Pie included - great value. Turkey with all the trimmings was delicious! Food excellent as always,

Have visited the Peel on a couple of occasions, nice little family pub. The food is always lovely & is good value for money, never had any reason to complain. Would recommend to anyone.

Nana B wanted to take out some of her (adult) grandchildren and their partners out for a meal for her 80th birthday, so 6 of us gathered at the Peel Arms for lunch a couple of Saturdays ago. As on our previous visit, the menu includes fairly standard pub food done well.

I f you want an a lovely atmospheric old pub, then this is it..... not huge ,but set out in such a way it feels bigger than it is. The service and food is excellent , and a pub we have visited loads of times over the years. ,for anniversary`s ,birthdays ,etc. Prices are very reasonable, and puddings to die for !!!!!

Although only just down the road from my home not a pub I visit regularly, but I will be back. The steak and ale pie was excellent which favoured my wife, because she does not like kidney. All piping hot with a good selection of vegetables, the sweet was also good but they had unfortunately run short on selection available.

Hemos estado antes durante la semana y la comida ha sido increíble. Es una pena, ya que había 9 de nosotros, y nos quedamos muy decepcionados. Casi todos tuvimos una cena asado, ninguna de las comidas eran muy cálidas, dos fueron enviados de vuelta a ser climatizada. La presentación no era genial. Servicio tampoco genial, me sentí muy de prisa. Una vez comidas era algo no nos preguntamos si hay cualquier salsas/bebidas/cualquier cosa que quería era. Tuvimos que pedir salsa, menta y salsa de manzana. También había un niño de llevar algún de comida, lo cual es bastante poco profesional. Salchichas de niño y una lasaña vegetal estaban bien. Los budines estaban bien, el merengue era minúsculo y escondido por nata UHT crema.

Hemos estado en el Peel seis veces y cada vez la salida desde recepción a la experiencia es de primera clase y el precio es razonable. En esta visita tuvimos un grupo de 10 de 77 a 4 con adolescentes y todos tuvimos una comida a gusto allí. La mano se mantienen bien y cervezas también hay una buena selección de vinos. En general, un pub con comida estupenda pero siempre reservar antes de ir.

Lovely meal very nice country pub. Would definitely pay this place another visit . Had the beef roast and wasn't disappointed

Friendly and welcoming, this, our local pub, is just a delight to visit. Not many people get as lucky as we did to find this wonderful establishment on our doorstep.There is a good selection of well cared for real ales as well as other draft beers and lagers. This is supported by a good selection of bottled beers and ciders, and a good range of good quality wines.Food is served Wednesday to Sunday and is always excellent both in quality, quantity and value. You would be happy to put this food on your table at home. Honest good fare at all times with a good selection of genuinely home made pies and roasts, and similar sweet courses to follow.Service from the bar and waiting staff is always excellent and friendly.Children are welcome and well catered for. On fine days there is a huge lawn and play area outside.All in all this is a delight and I recommend it without hesitation or reserve.

My daughter always has her "adults" birthday party at The Peel as she is a massive fan of the Steak & Ale pie. This year 12 adults enjoyed the Alice in Wonderland themed party for her 6th birthday. We decorated the table and great fun was had by everyone. As always the food was great with a good selection of the menu being chosen but the pie was a definite favourite, closely followed by the sirloin steak which was excellently cooked.

Margaret is always there to welcome you and for good pub food you can't go wrong. If ever you are near Ashley near Loggerheads this is the place to try .

Traditional home cooked food, one of the best pies I have ever eaten!! Portions are big so a starter is not needed,the home cooked chips are to die for!

Went here for a two course sunday lunch wuth a party of four and what can i say the staff are fantastic attentive and polite ciuldnt do enough to please and food was hot when it came out tge only diwnfall was the gravey could of been a little more between us but thats just me we asked for more abd we got more if you like a nice quite pub with coal fire with great staff and good food tgen this is the place for you

Good food, good service, good all round experience will be back again and again. The chef had a personal walk round to see if all ok, really nice homely experience

Love this place, I visited this pub this evening and yet again the food was superb. A party of 9, every meal was hot, beautifully cooked and tasted wonderful. Well done to the chef as I believe it's mostly home cookedThere is also a great choice of deserts both hot and cold. Looking forward to going again on my next visit back to the U.K.

We visited for our traditional pre Christmas Peel meal with friends. We pre ordered from the Christmas menu and always the food was great!

Great village local, great food, drink & service from Margaret and her team. 3 areas, 1 with dart board & TV, but rarely on, 1 by an open fire opposite the bar, and a lower dinning area leading out the the garden. Portions size is large, with set menu and specials boards. Never had a bad meal here, in 10 years of frequenting the best local pub around.

Met a group of friends here as a half way point. Food was lovely a good choice on menu, service was ok seemed to be just one waitress on but she was speedy and courteous and went out of her way to be helpful. Main was spot on I had the lasagne. Pudding was a risk and would avoid..The peppermint custard is a no go. Would recommend for home cooked food in relaxed location

I love going to the Peel. The food is beautifull home cooked. There's a nice choice too. The landlady and her daughter, very friendly people cook the food. We have never been disappointed. For a country pub it's got a lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic family pub .i Attended a family Awake...such a warm welcome..the spread of food was excellent. Highly recommended..thank you so much

Just waiting for coffee after a meal we will remember for a long time. We had mains that would not be dear at half as much again,4 empty plates and big smiles, we had puddings that were demolished in a very short time and although they had sold out of bread and butter pudding my second choice didn't disappoint, one of us who shall remain nameless had peppermint custard (hmm)anyway 4 more empty plates and smiles from ear to ear. Would we recommended this place for food? Do bears live in the woods? Of course we would!

We visit The Peel regularly and always have great meals.The menu is good home cooked food cooked to a great standard.We had sirloin steaks which were delicious (wish I could cook a steak so tender and with as much flavour) and my 5 year old daughter had Steak and Ale pie which she describes as "The best pie in the world"

Eaten here a few times, great service, great food and really nice atmosphere. We visited with some good friends who also like The Peel. The landlady is very friendly as is her daughter. The food that they serve is good home cooked very tasty always enjoyed

Wonderful home cooked meals served in atmospheric local pub. Fires lit in winter making it very cosy.

Called on the off chance of a table and we were seated within minutes. Somewhat surprised that they don't serve food on Monday or Tuesday but i digress,having been served with drinks were left with a menu and chose the stroganoff my wife having rice with hers and i had chips both played were emptied in a short time and we went on to puddings which we also finished off pretty quickly. Good food good service.

always good food and excellent service everyone very friendly would well recommend Family run excellent business always make you very welcome

This is the definition of a classic country pub, great food, welcoming environment. Ignore past comment RE a refurb! A*

found this little gem by accident just after moving to the area and what a find. always a warm welcome from Jane and her Mum and the food is always good and proper chips!. Cosy pub, not for those who prefer the plastic food chain pubs.

Although the food was ok, the pub itself is not nice at all needs closing down and a big refurb. The staff were very friendly.

The true level of service and food for a restaurant happens over time\visits.All I can say is I have never had a bad meal (in fact they have all been very good) and have always recieved a warm welcome and great service.Well done

This pub is old and dreary if you want to hide away it's good but the food is ok & the staff are nice. It's just so tired and needs a lot of refurbishment. Not the best but staff are very nice

What a lovely find, one part of the family in Shrewsbury one part in Stoke on trent perfect meeting place,From the warm welcome lovely open fire and great service, for a table of 13 prompt and friendly service.At the end 13 clean plates.Nothing to much trouble we look forward to returning Many thanks

Five of us visited for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago. The menu is fairly traditional - E had fish and chips, H had gammon, egg and chips, M and B both had roast lamb. They all enjoyed their dishes.There were three vegetarian dishes on the menu - mushrooms in peppercorn sauce, vegetarian lasagne, and vegetarian chilli. I checked with the waitress if the lasagne and chilli were vegetable (i.e. made with vegetables) or vegetarian (made with soy mince, for example). She said they used Quorn mince. I'm not keen on Quorn, so I chose the mushrooms in peppercorn sauce. Shortly after ordering the waitress came back and said they could also do a nut roast or a mushroom stroganoff if I preferred, and so I went for the stroganoff, which was very good. The chips and vegetables on the side were okay, not great, but okay. It was nice they gave me more options, as that isn't always the case with pubs.M and I shared a bread and butter pudding with lots of custard, which was excellent and set us up for the journey home. H had chocolate crunch with peppermint custard, B had a lemon tart, and E had a syrup sponge with custard.We all enjoyed our visit and the staff were very good.

Meal very nice staff were very friendly beer goodThe owners are a credit to the villageIt was my local when I lived in Ashley

Lovely traditional country 17th century pub in country surroundings. Food is traditional pub food and is always very popular. Very friendly staff and well priced

Been today to the peel arms , ashley for sunday lunch , the meal was superb with no frzozen meat or veg it tasted just like a home cooked sunday dinner and the staff were very pleasent and courteous .would recommend to anyone .

Margaret and team always friendly... Pub warm and welcoming. Great pub food always consistently good never had a bad meal.Lovely atmosphere

Used many times over last few years never failed to impress.I just failed to review.Good choice, Realistic prices.

What a great home cooked meal in this typical English Country pub. Good honest and fresh English food, all served with a smile and accompanied by great beers. The Steak and Ale pie is to die for, and there is usually a great range of puddings if you have room left.

excellent pub food great steaks and real ales what more could you ask for very helpful staff friendly atmosphere just wished i lived next door

We went here on Friday based off the reviews we had read. We were looking for somewhere at a mid point to pick up our neice for the weekend. We've usually used those chain pubs which serve rubbish microwave meals. The Peel Arms didn't disappoint! The place was nice and busy with a lovely atmosphere when we arrived on Friday evening at 6pm. The tables were all reassuringly booked as we came in. The food and service was brilliant. As everyone else has mentioned the food appeared to be home cooked, with really lovely home made chips. The specials menu was plentiful with about 15 dishes on. I had a rare fillet steak with peppercorn sauce and it was perfect. Really tasty. My partner had a veggie lasagne and kids a pair of children's meals. My other family had chicken and gammon dishes. The food was plentiful and delicious. All plates were cleared and we managed to squeeze in a dessert. Again plenty of choice on a double sided board. All in all a really great visit with lovely wholesome food, I'd certainly recommend a visit rather than use those chain pubs if you are in the area!

The meal was average, the chips were soggy and the surf and turf was hardly "turf". There was nowhere near enough turf to go with my surf. HOWEVER, the service was 100% impeccable! It couldn't be faulted, I had a lovely young blonde girl serve me, very friendly and about the age of 17/18? I didn't get her name, which I should have done as she was ever so polite and very attentive to mine and my family's needs! (Her accent didn't sound as though she was originally from the Stoke-on-Trent/Newcastle/Market Drayton area, so she could have been potentially a new member of staff). I solely wrote this review, just to openly acknowledge the wonderful service that I received on Thursday 6th August 2015.

This lovely pub with friendly staff are always happy to help. We have recently had a birthday meal here for 16, the food was excellent. The choice of food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. Clean plates from everyone. Some of us could squeeze a pudding in and they too were equally delicious. Good home cooked food, generous portions, lots of choice. What more do you want?

We live nearby and visit the Peel on a regular basis and we are never disappointed. The menu is traditional pub food, but cooked very well. The specials' board supplements the menus found on the table. I can never resist the steak and ale pie, it's delicious! Sunday lunch is also very good and very good value also. There is a good selection of beers and ales and some very nice Bergerac red wine by the bottle. We have always received excellent service; all of the staff are friendly and courteous. Thoroughly recommended.

Visited this pub on a number of occasions and always forget to leave a review. Main courses are always lovely, great portion size, lots to choose from and always piping hot. Starters and mains however could be improved, better quality and more choice would be nice. Staff lovely except one who I felt was rude on the phone during my booking called Vicky, but all in all the food made up for it! Definitely recommend

Wow! What a find! The lasagne is excellent, tasty with generous portions. The chips are amazing, crispy and proper home cooked, not warmed up frozen products. I would certainly recommend this pub. The staff are very friendly, we asked for a table for six people, when we got there we preferred to move to another table, nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend booking, a real pleasure to eat advertised food that tastes like home cooked food!

Have heard good reviews from friends but was disappointed in meal. 7 of us crammed onto table which would have been more suited to 4 or 5. Boiling hot in there and very uncomfortable. Food was disappointing. Chips looked like they were reheated from previous evening. Lasagne was in veey shallow dish and only had one sheet of lasagne and then lump of melted cheese on top.Rude waitress who obviously didn't want to be there.Won't be returning.

Popped down one sunny friday evening for a drink. The pub was full of diners which I took as a sign the food must be good. We took advantage of enormous beer garden. Staff were all friendly and polite!

Met up with family as this pub is about halfway for us. It is off the beaten track a little but I think thats part of the experience. Sometimes you can read reviews on here and then can be disappointed when you actually go - not so with the Peel Arms. Food is yummy, you can tell its home cooked with love. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are very satisfying. Decor is very pleasant. Ideal for a family get together or special occasion.The staff were fab, really friendly, very welcoming which is great. Service was quick and very accomadating. Met the owner / manager / chef, she is lovely and is VERY hard working. This is our first visit and we will definitely be going again.

The Peel Arms is a lovely pub in the middle of Ashley,it has a good size garden which hold regular village events every summer and Santa comes every year to turn on the large Christmas tree lights which is a lovely event.The food is very good all of the time Sunday lunch is a very busy time so book early .The staff are very friendly and helpfulGreat pub Great food Great atmosphere what more could one want !!

After a busy day out and about we searched Trip Advisor for a decent nearby pub and we weren't disappointed. We liked the pub as soon as we arrived, immaculate inside and out with a large beer garden, but that was nothing compared to the standard of the food, absolutely beautiful. I had the liver and bacon with veg and chips whilst my wife had the lamb henry, delicious and very generous portions. We couldn't resist dessert and had the home made rhubarb crumble and custard, again, big portions and mouth watering. We had drinks with this too and the whole thing only came to £36. It was obviously a very friendly pub, even the regulars were very chatty with us and if we hadn't had to leave early in the morning we would have loved to stay and have a few beers with them. Will definitely return, Mark and Alison
