Powys Arms in Staffordshire Moorlands

One of the best fish & chips meal that I've experienced. Cooked to perfection no trace of grease or bone. Skin on homemade chips and minted mushy 🫛 absolutely banging. Cracking pint of Guinness. Staff were attentive and courteous. Lovely little boozer. Will definitely come again 5 Stars.....

Lovely food and great to sit in the garden in the sun!

Julie went for Sunday lunch .it was amazing. Everything great .but then a lady bought a dog in .I'm not a fan ov dogs in pubs where they serve food. The meal and staff were so lovely thank you

I came here today with my family and we have really enjoyed our experience. The food amazing all enjoyed the food came hot and the staff was amazing. The beer garden is gorgeous and we all enjoyed the animals out here I would definitely recommend and come back soon

From the warm welcome, the delicious 😋 food and the friendly staff we had a lovely evening, will definitely return.

Haven't yet dined here but we have called in for drinks a couple of times recently and will definitely return. The beer garden has a great view and also has peacocks, large rabbits, goats and a donkey.

Been for Sunday lunch today. Everything was lovely. The food was delicious and the service was great. The staff were lovely. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

First time visit today, absolutely beautifully home cooked Sunday lunch very impressed, 3 young ladies waiting on, very friendly and attentive it’s not worth cooking at home it’s value for money

Cold River cider on draught and wonderful home cooked dark chips.

Just looking for a last minute Sunday lunch pub so we can eat at a respectable time that is not fully booked and so I gave the Powys arms a bell,no problem 1pm is fine. We got there a touch early and table was ready,we ordered are usually Sunday dinner two beef,1 regular and 1 large. The two young ladies who took the order were very attentive throughout our visit and as for the food it was delicious and could not fault it in any way and cheese cake was the same. As for price “brilliant”well worth the money,so we gave a nice tip. Thanks to everybody plus thank you to the lovely barmaid,very welcoming

Just stopped at this wonderful Pub...food was excellent and staff was wonderful! Highly recommend it!

Great evening with a donkey for company.

Fantastic afternoon. Will be returning soon.

Lovely food great staff Lovely atmosphere.

My wife and I live in the Telford area and do not often drive in this direction - but the good lady wife had spotted something on the internet for sale, which is why we were here. Quite honestly - this pub is terrific - friendly locals and staff who are quietly efficient. A warm welcome, seats at a table by the bar. All very convivial. I can see that this is a very community-based establishment and there are not so many of them about now. Sunday roast - no frills: comes in 3 sizes, we both had the medium. Lovely veg and a good Yorkshire and decent mashed potato - something which seems beyond most places to manage to do. Very pleased that we had a bit of room left for afters, Carol suggested that we have this. I must say that I thought the sun had got to her for a moment because we never ever have desserts. But her lemon drizzle cake and custard was very good, as was my syrup pud and custard. We met the boss on the way out, who asked what we thought about the place - just before he told us that he actually was the boss! [nice one guv]. No worries - we gave him a good report. More power to your collective elbows, Guys - long may you run.

Great home cooking loverly little pub with views

Excellent buffet and atmosphere tonight for the birthday boys xxx recommended to anyone wanting a fantastic night

Food was bland and tasteless, staff were friendly enough. We were passing through and decided to try it. Pity as it’s a warm and cosy little pub.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and delicious food, we had the fish and chips special and it was so good!,We Will be back next week with friends we have recommended it to, great service and value for money 😀

Top landlord great pint fantastic atmosphere

Food is absolutely gorgeous. We go here for Sunday lunch a lot. MOTHERS DAY LUNCH was lovely, there was a table of 14. Food arrived quickly and hot. No extra price increases, bar service was fab

Booked in for Mother's day and wasn't disappointed, as soon as we walked through the doors we were made to feel welcome, the staff were lovely, the food was spot on, so if you want some where to go where you can have a good meal I would recommend Powys Arms, we will definitely be paying another visit.

Lovely place made welcome atmosphere was great food best had for awhile

Great place now new owners, very clean, great food, very friendly

Visited after a full day in the roach's the staff were very accommodating and the beer was fantastic we sat by a lit coal fire which was much needed, would recommend to anyone passing by. Rustic and charming place 10/10

Warm friendly welcome.Sunday lunch very good all lovely and fresh.

Really great visit,couldn't fault anything, will be back soon.

Amazing food and good prices on food and drinks

Very friendly staff and customers. Excellent pint of bass

Lovely mid week meal tonight. Hunters Chicken and a Scampi salad (off menu request). Nothing too much trouble, lots of smiles and a real fire so snuggy and warm. I’ll definitely be back!

Nice little pub, friendly people and the Sunday roast was excellent. They were never too many people in there, but the people who were there were friendly and always chatted me up.

Lovely Sunday lunch ,would highly recommend 10/10

Well what can I say my partner flossy took me for dinner at this lovely pub for Sunday dinner staff where very helpful fool was home cooked fresh food worth a visit

First time visit after talking about going a number of times. The food was exceptional home cooked fare. Extremely generous portions and extremely tasty. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and considering we had a tired family after a busy day, the evening was extremely enjoyable and we will definitely return. Would definitely recommend based on our experience today.

Decided to visit the Powys arms, easy to book beautiful quant pub in countryside surroundings. Very quick service and friendly staff, nothing was to much trouble. We ordered Gammon, Creamy Chicken Fajitas and 2 lots of “Cock & Bull”with Stilton sauce which was absolutely delicious, proper home cooked meal nothing frozen or plastic. We will definatley pop in for tea again.

Called in with a few mates on a bus trip Lovely atmosphere and good beer

Such ashame as the meal was not to bad but quite expensive for the surroundings, all I can describe as plastic table cover really dirty condiments asked for mint sauce came out in a small disposable paper ramekin, more like road side cafe

Food was lovely, best chips ever. Staff are great, very friendly, make up for a lack of warmth in there. Lovely place but could do with a revamp, felt a bit like a working mens club. Always seems busy though and garden area looks nice. The view will be fantastic in the summer.

Fantastic Christmas Day Lunch, great value great service, Take Away Christmas Lunch is the best way to go Thanks

TraditionaL pub and grub.with extremely friendly staff offering a warm welcome. Family with small children made very welcome.Exceptional value. Good choice of food. Loved the Sunday roast

Fantastic rump and gammon steaks meals at great value, friendly staff and nice sitting by the fire! Cheers 🍺👍

The powys arms was fantastic ,as our surname is powis we simply had to visit the 3rd to all the powis,arms ,food was delicious ,the drinks too were really nice ,would definetly go back again .when next we travel to castleton and surrounding area,s

Great Meal, fantastic quality steak. Real Ale was top quality....

Friendly staff sat outside in the beer garden which had lovely views.. looking over the fields clean and tidy.. definitely will call again

Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend the creamy enchiladas! And triple cooked chips.

Lovely country village pub on the edge of 'Staffordshire moorland '. Well worth a visit with good food and good beer..and beautiful sunset's from the beer garden.

On holiday from Scotland read good reviews so went to powys arms for meal with 13 of my family staff friendly nothing to much bother food lovely defo go back

Fantastic pub, friendly atmosphere, great staff. Highly recommended.

Hadn't been here for years, but we were on a night out in the countryside and decided to pop in for a couple of beers. We were welcomed when we went in and found it a lovely little public house with friendly staff serving good beers. They do food as well so we will be popping back again soon to sample the food. Watch this space.

The people running this pub are kind beyond belief. They looked after us when we broke down outside their pub (having driven 1000 miles from France) and had to wait 5 hours for the breakdown people. They let us sit in their garden and brought us lots of cups of tea and drinks for our kids. And they refused to let us pay for any of it. We are so grateful to them for looking after us. The boys couldn’t believe their luck, that we had broken down outside a pub with a football goal and football in the garden!! We will definitely pop in next time we are passing that part of the world!! Thank you guys.

Booked last minute because I fancied a steak, seen the burger challenge on Facebook,so thought I would give it a shot. For some reason I thought there would be separate dining space, nope in the bar in front of the bar. Small menu but ample choice, the quality of service and food produce was ok, had the 10oz steak which came with 3xonion rings( very greasy I’m afraid) 4xcherry tomatoes, a few sliced mushrooms, and a portion of home cooked chips, the wife had the Stilton cheese with her meal, me having just mayonnaise.The steak was cooked lovely and I cleared my plate (but I was starving hungry) my wife left her chips, her tomatoes, onion rings and mushrooms were wrapped in a knapkin so that we did not upset, For us , we would not visit again as we both thought for price and value it did not reach expectations, Sorry,

Really lovely pub, staff were friendly and my dog loved it.

Great staff and excellent food, would recommend

Went for lunch, the meal was delicious, staff were outstanding, professional and friendly definitely would go again

Great food, good drinks selection and good atmosphere. Staff very helpful with allergies. Will be visiting again soon.

Best pub that I’ve been to. The drinks prices are so reasonable and the staff are absolutely lovely. Definitely my new favourite pub.

Beautiful little pub on the way to Leek. View's to die for and great service the staff can't do enough to make sure your visit I a great one

This was our first pub lunch in over a year.We were joined by my daughter her husband and 2 children. Having to eat in the open air we had very comfortable seats in a sheltered spot. Although the Sunday lunch menu might have seemed limited it was just what the doctor ordered. Choice of meat chicken or gammon. Beautifully prepared choice of veg roast and mash potatoes. Huge servings but my 9 year old grand daughter cleared her plate. Simple choice of puddings. Drinks were reasonably priced The cost was very fair.Service was excellent especially as the young ladies had to run up and down stairs. The manager kept a wary eye on everything..All in all a delightful visit

Drove past this little new found gem on numerous occasions .. Very Covid Safe in a relaxed atmosphere all staff are really lovely but would recommend checking if it's busy .. views over the hills from the beer garden at rear are uninterupted 👌😷👍keep safe people

Had a takeaway tonight from the Powys Arms, was amazing value for what I had, the food was fantastic, full of flavours and real home cooked food.. really can't wait for this little gem of a pub to open, very clean pub, top ales and very welcoming staff.. can highly recommend to anyone.

Had an amazing takeaway tonight, the food was full of flavour, had that real home cooked feel and taste about it, the portions were fantastic and hit every spot in contentment and taste, would highly recommend this little gem and will certainly be coming back this weekend as the cheesecakes are pretty special here and they do sunday lunches to take away too, such a lovely clean pub and very welcoming staff and the ales are fantastic, I can't wait to be able to be back in here very soon.

Brilliant takeaway at the weekend. Homemade curries that were full of flavour, served with freshly made naan breads and the best bit... proper pub chips. Great food and service. We can't wait for the pub to open after lockdown to visit for more food and a few drinks!

Super takeaway Sunday lunch. Fantastic price, massive portion size and fantasticly tasty. Will definitely be ordering again and visiting once open again

After my favourite restaurant closed down for good a while back I was really disappointed to find no decent alternatives serving Mexcian food anywhere in the area, so I was delighted to try what Rob had to offer at the Powys Arms. I ordered last Friday and we ordered two enchiladas with some fries on the side, and a couple of cheesecakes. All I can it was some of the best food I have tried in a very long time! The food was really well packed, still hot when i got home, and was to die for :) Chicken was cooked just right with the enchiladas and the sauce it came with was really lovely and flavorful without being too spicy. The Kinder Bueno cheesecakes rounded things off nicely although with the portion sizes i struggled to finish mine! It tasted just as good as any of the best Mexican food i have ever tried, and left me craving for my next order already! The prices were also fantastic too, wouldn't hesitate about going back :)

The New Take Away Service for lockdown is amazing, great food at great prices. I absolutely love their Chilli with chorizo and can’t wait to try some of their other dishes. Highly recommend this place

A new lockdown venture of serving takeaway food is absolutely brilliant, just had their chilli and chorizo which was gorgeous and great value for money. Can’t wait to try something else on their menu. Highly recommended

Nice and clean place, decorated nicely, great service. Not had food from here yet, but everything else was great. Adapted to covid restrictions well.

Great place for food and service well recommend!!!

Nice atmosphere good entertainment

Sunday roast is mouth wateringly excellent and its local with good beer

Had Sunday lunch here on 18 July and it was superb, lovely moist chicken with the works. Had hoped to try dessert as recommended but I was too full. Definitely going again staff were friendly, service was quick and there was a nice steady flow of customers. Great friendly atmosphere
