Sheet Anchor in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Went here for a 21st birthday meal and cannot fault it at all. The service was fantastic and sớwas all the food. Highly recommended

We've been here twice now - it's a convenient location for a meet-up. We've only been to the restaurant - can't comment on the pub. Service was good (both times) - the waiters seemed to know their stuff and it was about as quick as I'd expect so no issues there. I like it - its very modern in its menu, and very meat-orientated which perhaps as a veggie I might not be expected to like, but there are a few veggie options which are good. I might suggest a few more veggie options - there's a vegan burger which I didn't try, because frankly vegan burgers try to imitate meat too much. I find meat pretty repulsive so why would I want something like it? However, give me a veggie burger, or just lots of haloumi, put it with chips, jalapenos, all the normal sides, even more jalapenos and a bit more haloumi on top and that's a happy-me. Oktoberfest on the menu is a great idea. I've long thought that German and specifically Bayerische food is fantastic. However - just a pointer - Kase-spatzle should be a main not a topping, and a big 'just-come-off-the-mountain-main' at that. Meeting up with older family, their comments could be summarized as - perhaps there could be a couple of traditional things on the menu for people like that. Additionally, it felt that there could be a bit more on the menu for puddings - the choice there was a touch limited. I've written a lot here seemingly critical of the menu, and I don't really intend it to be that critical because overall I like it, will come back, and would recommend it. It's a little on the pricy side but not really unreasonable for what it is.

Our experience was far below expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was lackluster. The waiter was unwelcoming, seemed disinterested, and mumbled through our interactions, making it difficult to communicate. The food was equally disappointing. The ribs arrived cold and were presented in a way that was far from appetising. The chicken burger was drowned in sauce, making it nearly inedible. To make matters worse, the children's popcorn chicken was burnt—something I didn't even think was possible. Throughout the meal, not once did anyone check on us to see if everything was satisfactory. This lack of attentiveness meant we had no opportunity to address our concerns until after we had finished eating. As a result, both of our main courses were left uneaten. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that it occurred on a Monday night, with the restaurant far from busy. There are no excuses for such poor service and food quality under these circumstances. The only reason this review isn’t a 1-star rating is because the manager was genuinely apologetic and made an effort to rectify the situation by crediting us for the mains. This gesture was appreciated, but it doesn’t change the fact that the overall experience was severely lacking. It feels as though this particular location has been neglected by the Paragon Group. I hope they take this feedback seriously and make the necessary improvements.

Food very average for the price.. every time we try here there is always a number of things on the menu that they have ran out of . staff friendly but training is needed . Quite a lot of cob webs etc needs a bit of a clean . We asked for water for the table and bottled chargeable was brought … most places just bring you tap water now unless you have asked for bottled. There is much nicer places about for this sort of price.

I visited this restaurant with a friend. We ordered a starter each of halloumi bites which cost £8.50. It tasted nice but it was 5 small pieces of halloumi! The main course that I ordered was salt and pepper beef brisket (£22) The meal was very cold so I told the waitress (who was lovely) and she got this heated. A manager came over at this point to apologise that it was cold. The meal was returned but had literally no taste at all. When the waitress came to check whether the food was ok, I told her that it was not nice and had no taste. She said that she would pass it on to the manager and the chef and that someone would come to speak to me. This never happened. The bill had £5 deducted after I had said how horrible the meal was and had not eaten half of it. I asked for a larger discount and £11 was deducted (half of the meal) As we left the restaurant the manager looked the other way. I followed my visit up with an email to paragon group but this has never even been acknowledged. I don’t recommend visiting this restaurant or this chain based on my experience.

Extremely over priced food went to joules pub tonight same food choices nachos and burger far better food at a fraction of the price and better facilities. Make sure you look around

Very burnt burger, extremely oily and overdone chips. I ate a few of the chips but I couldn't eat the rest as they did not taste good and were full of oil, really off putting. As seen in the photo the burger was well overdone and burnt. I did mention it to the waiting staff but couldn't hang around for another meal to be made so ate the burger and left. I have visited this restaurant a number of times over the years but stopped going due to the very iffy food quality, it is really hit and miss, seems it is still the same. If you like the metallic clatter and scraping noise of eating on a stainless baking tray, like nails on a chalk board, this place is for you!

Awful Service Awful Food. Service Very poor an Very Slow for a Sunday Evening. Ordered Battered Haddock Which Was Very Dry and Pre-cooked. Mushy Peas Came in a Small Dish and was Just a Teaspoon Full. Fastly overpriced .. Waitress was Constantly pushing to sell Side dishes. Went with a Family of 5 Adults Food was Very overpriced for what we recived.

Having read some scathing recent reviews I was a tad apprehensive of what to expect when we visited the Blockhouse at the Sheet Anchor for Sunday Lunch. Nevertheless we decided to go all in and chose the chicken strips starter followed by a shared Meat Sweats main. Ordering was a pleasure; the young lady attending to us was polite, friendly and as delightful as one could wish for. Drinks arrived promptly and we had very little waiting time before the food followed. The starter arrived piping hot and the batter surrounding the chicken was light and crispy. Two small bowls for the sauces, all excellent, accompanied the four strips (per portion) and a light garnish of finely chopped red and green mild chilli peppers brought colour to the dish. The main course was a banquet, a feast, a platter of beef, chicken, ribs, sausage etc with accompanying loaded fries, mac and cheese, garnish. Humungous and mouth-wateringly fabulous to behold. We dived in and found no fault whatsoever. A regular at one of Blockhouse's competitors I had to concede that this was the best grill and barbecue venue I had ever visited. The food was amazing, service delightful and surrounding decor most suitable. The other diners around us seemed equally impressed and there were no signs of negativity at all. A wonderful experience.

Food was ok. Service was ok. However, there was a problem from what i saw and overheard between management and a customer, from my understanding of what i heard, they sent a meal back and the manager ( i believe her name was Ella) gave some attitude back to the customer, then a male manager who i think runs the restaurant came over and started a dispute with the customers and they were trying to put their punt across by saying the food was inedible and the managers attitude wasn’t appreciated, he then started raising his voice to the woman and turned around and said the young girl (who was a customer on the table) her attitude was bad even though she hadn’t said anything other than putting her point across, in my opinion the customer is always right and the way they spoke to the customers was unacceptable and should be respectful towards customers. As a customer who has been to the other restaurants i have never seen 2 managers be so rude to a group of customers. The managers were passive agressive and rude. other than that the experience was ok.

Food quality very poor, sadly. Our initial greeting was surly. The buttermilk chicken exceptionally salty. The outside visibly burnt (the cook would have noticed this when plating up thus saving us the embarrassment of sending the food back) and inedible in large sections. The brioche bun was so hard that it was impossible to cut with a knife. We did point this outside to the waitress who collected our plates at the end and witnessed the charcoal debris on the plate. The burger was similarly overcooked with the meat very thin and dry. Should we have sent it back? Of course, but we hate making a fuss. We weren't actualky asked if the food was OK during the meal - we were asked three times if we had any allergies! Come on, Paragon Group, you stand for better than this from our experience of your other venues! The cook really should have be doing a little Q.A. on the pass!

Seated for 2 hours before we saw a main then when food did arrive 3 orders were wrong and sent my full rack of ribs back as they were stone cold. When they did arrive back hot I’ll be honest they weren’t worth the money. Never again

Beautiful restaurant with lovely decor, friendly staff, delicious food and a great choice of drinks. Only downside is not enough parking for the size of the restaurant. Been twice since discovering this place and both times got very lucky as people were leaving so we could park.

Our waiter (Jordan I think his name was) was really pleasant which encouraged me to keep the service charge on which I usually don't agree with. The ambience was superb and the wait times between courses could not have been better. The food presentation was on point as well as the quality as well as there being plenty to choose from. Not much at all to grumble about, so thank you.

Good food, but a shame about the poor inexperienced passive aggressive manager. Story below. We sat down and ordered our meal which was cooked beautifully. Waiter took the order very well and took the menus away. Soon after they left the table, we had a train of thought to order some food for the kids. (Rather than our own lunchbox prep). (They both have gluten/diary/soya intolerances) We asked the nearest waiter if they had any burger/chips (small, kids) which could be without all seasoning, any allergens etc. He said we could do a burger patty with a few chips which is what we got. At this point, we didn’t know the pricing or the fact that it was on the menu. We knew burgers were on the menu as a whole thing, but not as an individual item. When it came to receiving the bill, it was £17.50 for two plates. Each plate had one singular thin beef patty which was burnt on the outside and the smallest amount of chips. I thought this was really expensive for what we received so I spoke to the manager and cut the long story short, he said (in the rudest, most passive aggressive tone) to “read the menu next time”… I’m sorry? We didn’t have a menu as these were taken away and it was a verbal discussion with the waiter at the time. With it being from the kids menu, I wasn’t expected to pay under £10 for one singular patty and about 15 small fried chips. Please get your manager some management training on how to speak to the customers and not to make assumptions that we had menus in front of us as this was a discussion after the menus had been removed. Thanks

Compared to a previous experience was disappointing to say the least. Having had the butchers block sharing platter before the menu was changed a while ago, me and my wife excitedly ordered the most similar item from the new menu ‘meat sweats’. Our last experience was amazing, we felt the portion size and quality of the meat on offer was incredible and a fair price for the platter and this is what prompted us to return to the restaurant this time bringing some friends with us. The new meat sweats platter does not live up to its name at all, the portion size seems to have halved compared to the butchers block, we had to ask if there was any brisket even on the platter, we had two pieces each hidden under some steak. The ribs were half the size and the sausages have changed and are much poorer quality. We upgraded our fries to the loaded fries, they were supposed to be topped with pulled pork, there was hardly any pulled pork on the fries at all just lots of the crackling and waffle, had better loaded fries at Wetherspoons. Our friends were disappointed too, they ordered individual plates and went home hungry, they even cooked food when they got home! It’s safe to say I won’t be making a return to the blockhouse anytime soon, I will say on a positive note that the staff did provide a good level of service and were friendly.

Great atmosphere and service from Shannon and George. The food was excellent too. Will definitely be back for more of the Nachos and Malteser Cheesecake!

Family of 4 went for meal for a special occasion. Order taken, pleasant polite staff all time. Food disappointing, had to send the buttermilk chicken burger back twice for my daughter due to it being black first time then second time it was half black and half golden. We were told that the chef cooks it to black so it’s crispy, I look forward to seeing this on the block house images of a black buttermilk burger and see what people’s thoughts are. We were compensated for the meal and apologies made, which was appreciated but when something is not cooked right it shouldn’t be pretended that it is. Sadly we won’t be back anytime soon.

A sincere thank you. It was a day to celebrate our daughter getting accepted for university so wanted something special. The welcome was the best I've ever experienced. Maisie was incredible. She welcomed Rebecca and made her feel like the the center of the universe. We were shown to our table which was decorated beautifully. We had ordered balloons and Prosecco, but what was simply beautiful - was a personalised, hand written card congratulating Rebecca. It brought my wife to tears. The food and atmosphere was wonderful, but the one take away that we will always remember was Maisie. She made it such a special and memorable day.

Visited as a family whilst we was staying nearby, can't fault the place, food was delicious, friendly staff, table and restaurant as a whole was spotless, wish we lived closer to make our way through the menu! If ever we are in that neck of the woods will return and highly recommend anybody to eat here.

I know it’s a steak house but disappointed that only one Vegan meal was available & it wasn’t a good burger at all - no milk alternative available for a Lattè after the meal - it was a family celebration otherwise obviously I wouldn’t have chosen a steak house but it would’ve been good to have another option or if the one option had been a good vegan burger

Nice place, wasn't busy at the time we were there. Food was excellent, good portions, tasty and the chicken was juicy and light batter. The let down was slow service, too long waiting for orders to be taken. The guys came quickly after orders taken and staff were very friendly. Maybe because we were out of the way they kept missing us. Anywhere else and a 5 would not have been possible for that reason, here the food more than made up for it.

Finally got to eat at the Blockhouse after driving past it on several occasions always thinking we need to try there sometime! Menu is different to many places around. We opted for sharing dish called Meat Sweats and we were not disappointed with 5 different meats all cooked to perfection on offer along with macaroni cheese, chips and grilled corn on the cob. The decor is fresh and service great too. We will definitely visit again even though it’s a bit of a distance away from home as it’s worth it!

Went tonight for our daughters 4th bday. Food was lovely but very slow service!!! Surprised as we went at 5pm so kids didn’t have to wait too long as we know it does get busy in there. Waited over half an hour to order main then gave up and left at 7pm as nobody came to take dessert orders. Could have just walked out without paying and I don’t suppose any staff would have noticed yet!! Won’t rush back which is a shame because the food is lovely but the staff would rather stand around talking

I love the varied menu options and the inspired American cuisine. You don’t get menus like this elsewhere and that’s what makes it different. Value for money is unmatched as the portions are huge! Fajitas were delicious Only upset was the inedible items on the plate. One guest mistook salt for cheese and this was very unpleasant. So please no inedible items on the plate, especially in large quantities!!!

What an amazing experience from walking in greeted by lovely friendly staff sat outside on 16th June with my partner daughter and boyfriend we had the nachos for starter amazing as was everything else will be back very soon best place I've been for a long time

Beautiful place, especially the garden if good weather, although inside is beautiful too. Staff very professional, yet really pleasant. And the food..... totally amazing! Really good value for top quality.

Perfect as always. Now has overtaken a local restaurant and has become our new favourite Will you please bring back the Nutella donuts 👀🙋‍♂️

Disappointing service. Can't fault the food but it took a long time to arrive.! Been there on 2 previous wedding anniversaries and personal touch meant so much to us that we decided to go again! Sadly not this time! We won't be back!

Great food great service and most of all great company! The blockhouse sheet anchor should change its name to THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF OLIVER TWIST BAR IN ZAGREB CROATIA. Because when I went there ist was rubbish and the waiter was chubby and balding

I was so disappointed with the food at the Blockhouse after reading good reviews. It was for our daughter’s birthday celebration and most of the main courses were awful. The paragon group need to up their game as it was expensive and below average.

Lovely meal in the bar area, went with family and a friend. Brilliant service from Rich as always! So attentive and friendly. Birthday meal was exceptional. Thank you Rich😊

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a lovely meal the other week. Kym served us who was so helpful and kind, she made sure we were looked after during our meal, thank you! The food was gorgeous, always a pleasure eating here!

Excellent restaurant, food fantastic. Our waitress Kym was brilliant. Food was extremely quick coming out and menu very good. Would totally recommend

Excellent service from kym. Very helpful and efficient. Food recommendations were spot on. Highly recommend

It was my daughter’s birthday. We were served by Rich who was an extremely good host & his customer service was absolutely fantastic. We had a sublime time & the dinner was amazing.

Had a lovely meal at the blockhouse tonight . Little date night for us two lads . Food was great atmosphere was spot on . Had a cute little waitress named Kym who was great and served us with a smile x 5 🌟

From the beginning the atmosphere was lovely, quite busy for a weekday which showed us it was liked. To start we had beef ends, then two amazing burgers, all served by our nice waitress kim, fast paced service. Nothing was too much for the staff....

We had a lovely time. It was our first time here and the place is really pretty. Our server Kym was amazing and really helpful in deciding what to get. Quite patient as well. Would definitely be back :)

Fantastic service from Eddie. Lovely drinks and amazing food. Great atmosphere overall will be back very soon for another night.

Excelt food and excellent service. Kym was put waitress, lovely lady , with excellent service 😀 👏 👌

Had a great time at Block House. Had an amazing chicken schnitzel with the a lovely complementary non alcoholic strawberry cucumber drink. And received the best service and warmest smile and reception from Kym.

Wonderful service as always tonight from Eddie! Amazing food, generous portions and lovely friendly staff all round.

The food was delicious well presented and an ample amount . The service by Eddie was exemplary he was obviously knowledgeable about the menu and interested in our choice .

Restaurant is very large and spacious with plenty of seating. Service is just right, not rushed. Food is good, especially the sharing nachos, would really recommend them. Rack of ribs are a safe bet. Good value. We will return.

Visited for the first time tonight, the ribs and steak were delicious along with the desserts. Recommend the brownie and waffles. The only thing that let the place down was the table service. We were offered water for the table and cutlery was given between...
