Raddle Inn in Staffordshire Moorlands

Great value for money with lovely quality food. I can't speak more highly of the meal we had it was outstanding. Pleasant and helpful staff great atmosphere of an old community based country local, all warm and inviting.

Popular village pub with good range of beers and good Sunday meals.

The pub looked clean and cosy, food and service was dissappinting, veg not cooked properly, was crunchy, and service was poor, no explanation of how their system works, no satisfaction checks, was asked if we had finished while still eating, then ignored after being asked if we wanted menu for desserts.

Such a lovely place the food is absolutely top notch

Absolutely beautiful, we cannot fault this pub, and the location was very very pretty

Visited twice in the space of a few months and been disappointed on both occasions. (Used to come quite often and enjoyed it. Good portions/value for money and decent service). However, the same can't be said for both the more recent visits. At 8.26pm, me and my cousin (who had never been before) entered and didn't get any reception from any staff as we walked in... eventually, someone acknowledged us, and i asked if there was a table for 2... the reply was, "Of course." To which we were sat down on a table that hadn't been wiped down. Someone came to take our drinks order, then our food order... after this... on 3 occasions when the buzzer was pressed for attention, we were completely ignored, even though I could hear the buzzer myself from the table, and a member of staff sat at the bar. I pressed the buzzer twice to try and get another drink. A member of staff was putting glasses away at the bar, so I turned around and asked for the drink from my table to the bar ( I felt like an inconvenience) The third time I pressed the buzzer was for dessert. We had moved our plates to the end of the table to show we were ready for more service, which never came... I had to then promt and ask across the restaurant, "Can we order dessert please? " ... Whilst eating dessert, the staff members that were in all appeared round the bar where another member was sat the whole duration of our meal (pretty much) ... they were all talking about personal things/work... and swearing, and just general conversation that shouldn't have been discussed whilst customers were still in. (Work should never be discussed in front of customers. My biggest pet peeve) Unfortunately, my cousin, after the first visit, has said they won't return. First impressions count. I always try to give the benefit of the doubt, but tonight, I just couldn't. Normally, I am one to say something on the evening, but thought "what's the point?" as it was just us, and I didn't know what reception I would get from complaining in person. The food was nice, I did finish majority apart from some chips. The Stilton sauce was quite oily. Other than that, the portions are still huge and great value. Just a shame about the service 😩 Gutted.

Attended The Raddle Inn today after a funneral. There was an amazing provision of food laid out for everyone. As I am coeliac,I couldn't find anything suitable for GF requirements. I spoke to manager/ owner of the establishment and he was extremely helpful to try and provide food for me at very short notice. They understood what would be safe for me and brought a separate hot plate of food. I would like to thank the staff for what they did . Well done folks. Xx

The ideal stop after Alton Towers. After 2 manic days at the park, this down to earth, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere Inn was just what we needed. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We sat next to the log burner, and with a cosy drink and meal, we relaxed and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and staff chat. Thanks for a great visit and we'll be back the next time we visit Alton Towers.

Highly advised to go here by the park we were staying in. Very welcoming, lovely ambience and decor. Food was brilliant, good portions and didn’t take long to come out. Highly advise to anyone.

Although the area was lovely, my experience at the Raddle Inn was less than satisfactory... We were waiting for a good half an hour to even be served drinks since we politely asked to look at the menu first, followed by waiting another long period of time to order our starter meals. They didn't take both starters and mains at the same time. Although they had a call button on each table, these were often ignored and we waited another fifteen minutes after our starters were cleared up to be offered a main. We never had dessert by the end of it due to the long waits on a quiet day. The staff were all young, the waitresses seemed more interested in talking to each other and regulars than serving paying customers, all staff were very young and lacked clear communication and people skills, just a simple 'oh' if they got something wrong. Additionally, they seemed incompetent in taking orders if we wanted one thing removed. When we finally got to our food, the starters were alright, however, all the roasts were not nice. The turkey was dry, and veg undercooked, especially the roast potatoes that were incredibly yellow/ white looking. The roast beef was overcooked, rough and hard. The chicken was dry and the roast lamb had more fat than meat on it. Overall, God awful customer service. We didn't even get so much as a goodbye after we paid and left, the waiting times were ridiculous for such a quiet day, the staff were incompetent and too young, and the food was dry, overcooked (meat) and raw (veg).

Went to The Raddle for a drink and dinner on a Friday evening and then again on a Sunday afternoon. Always a warm welcome from the staff and a lovely typical country pub atmosphere. The quality of the food is superb, proper home cooked pub grub. The prices of the food l, though may seem high reflect the quality of the meal you get. I would love to go in summer and sit out in the garden as the views look fantastic.

Had the most lovely time tonight at the Raddle.. beautiful food as always lovely service from all the staff..nothing was to much trouble. Lovely night for friends 60th birthday..big shout out to Terri for her patients and help on booking our meals .. Thankyou The Raddle Staff xx

Lovely overnight stay while visiting Alton Towers. Hot tub was brilliant and just what you need after a long day on your feet at a theme park. Pub on site serving home made food at a reasonable price with bouncy castle and small play area for the kids. Couldn't reccomend The Raddle Inn highly enough for their honesty and customer service after my daughter left a rather expensive birthday present behind which was found by the cleaners, handed in and later sent back to us by Peter at his earliest convenience.

Great place to stay, ideal for Alton Towers Lodge was clean tidy and had everything we needed, plus a hot tub 😍 views are lovely 😍 AND there is a Pub on site, what's not to love

Stopped off for a meal whilst out for a drive and loved every minute. Lovely fire going to warm the bones, fantastic and friendly service. Love it every time!

A little bit out in the sticks, proper country roads, but well worth it. Party of 4 adults, all had roast dinners, 2 beef and 2 turkey. Didn't have to wait long, plates were hot and service was brilliant.

Came for a meal after a day at the towers and we were not disappointed. Fair prices and one of the best steak pies I've ever had, very tasty, full of really tender steak and a great portion. Would recommend based on our visit.

Amazing little place, we had a roast beef dinner it was great would go here again!

The Log Cabins are tucked away on a hill behind the pub. Very quiet, which I loved after a long day with the kids at Alton Towers (a 15min drive away) Checked in at the bar in the pub to collect the keys from friendly staff. Cabin was basic but clean, and it's got everything you need. Oven, microwave, kettle, fridge, hob, (kids were happy with the TV) and fantastic water pressure in the bathroom. All basic amenities were stocked. The view from the porch was beautiful. And while sitting on there at 7am, locals were calling out hello. Will definitely stay here again when I can muster the energy to drive up from London. A little gem

Beautiful roast for the adults and the lasagne and cottage pie came with chips and veg/salad. Great taste Great portions Great service Great value for money.

This was the first time to go for food and the location was lovely and the place was amazing. I loved the outside pods and the food was great for what you get .I had the steak pie and was homemade and got lovely with full filling with the staff there when you need then I felt I was looked after.i defo come again and try other foods

Great staff, good food, not expensive. Great atmosphere.

Went there for a meal after a day at Alton towers, really good food, very polite and friendly staff, would definitely recommend.

We've been here before and the food was lovely, however this time was not so good. We ordered a combo platter which everything tasted overcooked and dry. One had homemade steak pie and the pastry was horribleand overcooked. The chips tasted like they had been warmed up. We had three roast dinners ( with no Yorkshire puddings). Apparently you pay extra for them. The roast potato's tasted like they were done in a microwave and were awful. We did get a good portion of meat and veg on the dinners which were nice. Overall we were very disappointed compared to previous visits.

Not sure where to start really, staff were nice however the salt was clumpy and stuck together, condiments were out of date so couldn’t use them, my burger was dry, my partners chicken burger was dry and a lot of hard bits, clear it had been warmed up. Decorations very outdated and tacky/dirty felt like i was sitting in a dirty living room. Asked for the bill and a waitress said she was going to bring it, then continued to wait for 20 minutes and ended up going to the counter to pay instead. Nice views though.

We all agreed that lovely countryside views and friendly staff are the things we enjoyed the most. Also great, they were selling Hawkstone beer which was cold and refreshing. I had the homemade steak and ale pie which was just perfect.

Ate here several times now. Always good value for money with ample portions of food. Always a good pint particularly the Reverend James.Would recommend a visit during a nice summer's evening to take in the views

Lovely food apart from pink steak I like it well done but that's probably my fault as I didn't specify how I wanted it, went for food and to watch the football, staff all lovely nice pub would definitely return 👍

Lovely place to eat ,nice countryside and beautiful food,we can't wait to go again

A great spot to visit when we were staying at Alton Towers and had seen the bad reviews for onsite hotels. The food was lovely at the Raddle Inn, the staff were very friendly and they catered well for children with plenty of high chairs, bouncy castle and a big garden with friendly horses in the field next door

Really enjoyable meal here with husband and grandchildren. We had 4 different meals all very enjoyable. Was a problem with the bill but was sorted once this was pointed out.

Fantastic meal welcoming staff and very dog friendly

Lovely traditional home cooked food, really lovely. My only disappointment was the chips, they were cooked with fish and no other option was available for vegetarians.

Fast and friendly service and delicious food with generous portions in a scenic setting. Recommended!

Service was excellent with lovely friendly staff, beer was good but unfortunately the food was awful. Burger was very dry, lasagne mince tasted powdery as if microwaved, BBQ chicken was just a plain chicken breast drowning in BBQ sauce. Food used to be so good but just disappointing now. Seems like it's a microwave and deep fry menu.

Really good menu with lots of choice. Prices are good and the portions are enormous. The food is also excellent

Great food yesterday at the Raddle Inn, first time there and what a day for it. Beautiful day in the sun with great views over Staffordshire countryside.

Both my wife and I had the steak pie it was amazing.

Best food for miles around.. but book ...

Stayed there over Easter and it was lovely! The lodge was spotless and perfect for an overnight stay before Alton Towers. Lovely big hot tub too. Had both breakfast and dinner at the pub whilst we were there and we got lovely big portions of good food. Staff were very friendly for the whole stay. I think a lot of these reviews were expecting the ritz, but if you're expecting a cosy woodland lodge with a pub and great views, that's exactly what you're getting. I would absolutely recommend staying.

Beautiful spot and great food, highly recommended 👌

Decided to have a Sunday roast for not visited here for ages, last time could not fault the place. The roast was very poor over cooked meats, raw vegetables ( I know the difference between raw and al dente) Overall very disappointed and will not come back.

Average to below average food. Kids burger dry and overcooked. Steak decidedly average although cooked exactly as I asked for. Service was friendly and quick.

Had a fantastic Mothers Day meal Fantastic food Highly recommend

Log Cabins & Food. A group of us stayed in one of their log cabins and it was really good. Everything was clean and tidy and well kept. We also ate at The Raddle Inn. The food was good and portion sizes were big (we ordered to much), price was good to. The service was pretty quick as well. Overall good experience.

Aside from the pretty views this pub is pretty awful! Had a meal with the family and atmosphere unwelcoming, staff unfriendly and not very attentive with poor customer service and almost felt like being there as an inconvenience to the waiting staff. Average pub food which was ok but nothing special.

Had a lovely meal with my girlfriend. Food was excellent. The service was fabulous. Well worth the trip . Hope to eat there again soon

Superb pub, especially in summer, as long as you can find it, but worth the effort. Excellent food and choice of real ales. Lovely attentive staff. Suggest you book a table if dining.

Booked a table for a meal midweek. Good menu and also a pensioners menu available during the week. Fires were lit. Pub grub .

Great food at good prices. Lovely staff.

First time visiting. Beautiful food. Beautiful surroundings and friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely recommend. I had homemade steak pie. Packed with meat. Homemade chips and veg. Very filling. Would definitely return. Great value for money 5 🌟stars

Heard so many great things about this pub so had to try it. Perfect for local walks and the views are stunning. Unfortunately the pub lacked the atmosphere of a country pub despite the quaint interiors, renovating the toilets to caravan park standards does it no favours. The Christmas decorations were sad. The staff were loud and slow despite electonic buzzers which they just ignored. The food was fairly priced but left a lot to be desired. Never seen boiled potatoes with a roast Turkey dinner before. The cabbage was grey and unappealing. So for drinks and views it’s excellent, just don’t sit near the bars where the staff are shouting at each other We were asked to wait when we approached the bar to pay , she did ask if everything was OK but failed to stop talking and didn’t seem bothered that we had not answered.

Always good food and OAP prices along with the best beer around. There is an olde worldyvaboot the place, warm and comfortable surroundings. X

Went here for dinner and food was excellent

Odd miss matched furniture....not put together properly

Country Inn and restaurant with a fantastic position overlooking lovely countryside. Booked a short break in November in one of the log cabins where you can soak in a hot tub enjoying the views. Accommodation is basic but fine. All the staff are very welcoming and the pub and cabins are dog friendly. Pub serves hearty meals at good prices and especially recommended is the great value breakfast which you order the day before. Pub has extensive gardens which would be a great place to eat and drink in summer.

Roads are tight on travelling to The Raddle Inn but once their the sights were beautiful. We stayed in one of the log cabins which was lovely , everything we needed, we just found there needed to be more lighting outdoors at night. The service and food were absolutely amazing, piping hot and big portions, very tasty food. Deffinately recommend and will stay and visit again. Thank You.

Steak and ale pie 👌lots of tender steak, one of the best I've ever had !

Lovely atmosphere and great quality of food with big portions

Another value for money meal.Really good food means that you return when you can and thats what my wife and me do.Excellent

Lovely old pub, great food and service

Just staying at daisy one of the cottages what can I say friendly staff will go the extra mile lovely views and a hot tub lush highly recommend

Chicken Kiev cold far to much salad and peas not going back

Called in for a spot of Sunday lunch, a fabulous location, lovely food with fantastic service, will definitely visit again!!!!

Ower Jack gave it 10 out of 10. He loves it, but if anyone asks, say it's rubbish or it will be rammed !!

Went today had the large steak pie chips veg etc .and the wife had the smaller pensioners meal .must say the pie is the best ever absolutely chocker with meat and fabulous gravy.the wife finished off with cheesecake which looked delish.the young staff were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you .well done .brilliant.

Called for tea after Alton Towers booked in advance food was yummy! Would recommend

Starter was lovely. Ordered Mix Grill for mains. Everything on it was over cooked, I wasn't asked how I wanted the steak done either. A real shame because it looked amazing! Staff where attentive but lacked experience so at times it was slightly frustrating - asked for the bill, she came back with the card machine... but no idea how much it was 🙈

Great food, good service nice location

Although in nice location, pub inside in need of little updating. Food good with lots of 'traditional' choices. Each table has a button you can press for someone to come over and take your order which is a great idea, and all went well until we finished our desserts and the dishes were cleared. Instead of being asked if we would like anything else.... perhaps a coffee, we were asked if we wanted to pay the bill, which was then instantly brought over. Had the dining room been busy and people been waiting for tables, we could have perhaps excused the swiftness of it's arrival, but there were lots of empty spaces, so this was clearly not the case. Once the bill had been handed over there was no time to look through it as usually happens anywhere else, as the waitress then proceeded to stand and wait for payment! On this occasion we had already decided to pay cash, which she watched us count out, and then before taking it to the bar asked if she needed to return any change back to the table!!! Normally we wouldn't dream of not leaving a tip for staff wherever we go, and had the change just been returned back to the table, we wouldn't have hesitated to leave that and probably more, but to be almost pushed out of the door and then the expectation of the waitress for the money to be just kept, on principle we decided we would not on this occasion and perhaps staff should be given more training on how to treat their customers!

Roads to the pub are very tight with blind bends so careful driving is a must. Once there however terrific food and great portion size. Steak pie followed by proper apple crumble and custard. No pretentious fancy stuff just excellent home cooked food (served on plates!!) With friendly helpful service

stayed here had a relaxing time has hot tub little pricey pub is really cosy food at the time was amazing

My husband and I went for lunch,we had a lovely meal,the staff are very helpful and pleasant.We look forward to going again.

Food at the inn was lovely and reasonable priced, staff friendly

Fantastic little find. Myself and my family were staying over at Alton towers and didn’t fancy the resort restaurants so drove 15mins away to the Raddle Inn. The food was all home cooked and delicious, with large portions and very reasonable prices. The young ladies serving the food were friendly and professional and the whole place had such a welcoming feeling. The games room was a real hit with the teenagers and we all had an enjoyable time. Thank you.

Beautiful location, great service, lovely food and lovely friendly staff.

Great food and good value of food

Went for a meal after going to alton towers. The food was amazing (especially the chips 😋) and staff friendly and welcoming.

Nice meal, well priced, service was ok.

Absolutely brilliant pub for the location, food and service. Huge portions and tasty to boot. Highly recommended.

Lovely setting. Excellent choice for vegetarians and prices very reasonable.

It is a pub, hotel. The views are spectacular,service good although compared to other pubs a little on the expensive side.

Food not as good as previously cold custard with puddings. The haddock seemed to have been reheated. Meal sizes are much smaller and not as good value for money. Staff very good though

Lovely food and drink great views and attentive staff also have lodges for hire.

Excellent menu, food staff location. Really enjoyed it

Food was delicious staff very helpful and friendly

Lovely scenic views,very friendly staff,the food was sooooh good and very generous portions,

Excellent for food & well kept ales, quick friendly service.

It's nice. So we went here for the pub and it looked nice. The outside garden/field was nice but lacked bins and more tables. Bouncy castle nice touch and dog friendly. The view was nice and in great weather good. I felt they could do like an outside bar in that field when the weather good. Long walk back to pub. The bar itself layout bit odd you kinda feel like your walking into the wrong area when you walk in. Their isent any clear que . Feels like it needs a revamp but I get its likely a listed building. The walking in and out I just felt I was intruding on people's tables. I can't describe it. I feel the entrance and exit needs a new layout/look the little bubbles to eat in looked cool

I recently visited The Raddle for a couple of drinks, and I must say, it was a memorable experience! The ambiance was inviting, with a cozy and lively atmosphere that set the perfect mood for a relaxed evening. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring prompt service throughout my visit. The pub had a great selection of drinks to choose from, catering to various preferences. The Raddle's attention to detail in presentation and taste truly impressed me. Additionally, the pub had a great selection of tasty appetizers to accompany the drinks.

Food was absolutely awful, chips were sour tasting like old oil. Very disappointing. Table, cutlery and place mats were filthy. Staff were less than friendly. No manners or basic courtesy. A real shame because it could be amazing.

Excellent country pub with homecookes food and a decent selection of drinks. Has some stuff outside for kids.

Food Quality reduced , cost increased , years since I have eaten a meal so tasteless

Location is lovely, alpaca's on the field opposite too. Also have bouncy castle in summer for the kids. We normally book a pod outside when we go. Gives abit of privacy without cooking. Used do amazing chips but something changed, otherwise foods not bad at all. Pool tables and bandits in back room also.

Went for a run out today,bank holiday Monday after Easter,went for dinner I had the mixed grill,the wife had a beef dinner,apart from the steak being a little tough the food was exceptional,the staff are friendly and really efficient, although the place was packed our meals came reasonably quickly nice and hot and plenty of it,no need to move to get drinks theres a small pager on each table and a waitress will soon be at your table to take your order,would I recommend the Raddle a big YES

Excellent food friendly atmosphere spotlessly clean. Great meal out

Fabulous views from the garden and tasty meals.. Thanks 😊

Excellent pub for a family Sunday roast - and any other day of the week for that matter!

I had lasagne, salad, and chips. Not usually a chips fan, but these were the best I've ever had.

Very busy when we arrived but service was still fairly quick. Delicious meals at an excellent price Friendly staff
