The Ash Inn Mow Cop in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Went on a Thursday afternoon lunch for three people with deserts Good quality home cooked food at very reasonable prices staff were attentive friendly and made us feel at home Whole place has a good feeling to it and everyone enjoyed both mains and deserts Will definitely be coming back 15 mile drive for us but well worth it

Second time at the Ash Inn with friends for Sunday lunch. Really disappointed with my main course of roast beef. The whole plate was luke warm. Only a single roast potato which looked like a baby one. Apple crumble and custard for desert. Apples were tinned and clearly the type used for pie filling . As I did not want to embarrass my friends I did not complain but if it had just been myself and my partner I would have sent it back. Need to do better in my opinion. A single baby roast potato which was the same on all our plates is not acceptable

a nice spot with good views over the local area ordered a steak that was so tough I couldn’t cut into it even with a steak knife left 80% of it as I couldn’t cut any more chunks off to try and it came with chips that looked ok but had not been blanced before being deep fried so i had to leave those to had decided to go on the basis of other reviews we were not expecting anything other than good basic food but left very dissapointed the items on the menu looked interesting with a good selection at reasonable prices but what we ate was fairly inedible, will not be going back

The Ash Inn was one of three we could walk to from our campsite-it was the best! On our first day we walked through Mow Cop to the end of the town on our way to see Mow Cop Castle. On our way back we popped into two of the three, the last being The Ash! Lovely beer garden overlooking stunning views of the surrounding area. The next day (Sunday) we decided to have lunch out-our first call was the pub nearest to the site..6 minute walk-NO! Not pleasant, very old with a strange smell. So we carried on walking to The Ash-what a difference! Hubby had the beef roast which was amazing-ample portions with loads of roast beef- I had a ham & tomato baguette-gorgeous! Prices were very good too-had a lovely afternoon! Well worth a visit.

Todays Wrinkly’s Weekday Wanderings search of the best deal for a Friday Fish Chips and Mushy Peas lunch absolute bargain at £5.95 per head.. absolute winner & just like it used to be when I first retired 11 years ago when in those days we could easily get a full meal main, pudding and drinks for less than 25 quid for two. Today we managed £27.80 for all of the above including coffees. Definitely excellent value for money and excellent homecooked style good food, clean tidy venue with welcoming and friendly staff. Highly Recommended. So this place is definitely now on our future radar, well worth a visit, I wouldn't normally promote something outside of Alsager that was advertised on an Alsager site but if you fancy a short run out (less than 6 miles from Alsager) and prices way less than typical prices around and especially prices in Alsager then this place is well worth a try. Great views from up there at Mow Cop too. Sorry to all of you that are at work 12:00 -16:00 weekdays… 😂

Went upto the Ash for Lunch, had fish chips and peas with my hubby and it wad absolutely delicious and piping hot, staff very friendly and interior was spotless , shall definitly be going again and would highly recommend to everyone to give it a try .

Thank you to the staff that were working on February 18th! Due to a large table, we had a pre order and the food came out quickly, we had to take a meal off and add another one on but this was no problem, the food was lovely and everyone enjoyed it! Good selection for certain dietary requirements too :) nothing was too much trouble for the two waitresses who were serving us and they were so polite and friendly.

Visited on Saturday evening with friends. We were staying at local camp site. The food was absolutely gorgeous. 3 out of 4 of us had pie which was incredible and my husband has hunters chicken which he loved. We were able to keep the table for the evening and we stayed and watched the band. Great atmosphere, lovely pub, lovely staff and cannot wait to revisit.

Came in a couple of weekends ago for some food as a last minute thing. Food was spot on as always 10/10 and Matt our server was so sweet and attentive, literally nothing was too much hassle. Very chatty and welcoming, lovely boy and has very very good customer service which is hard to come by nowadays! Overall cannot fault the visit!!

Unfortunately our food was so so bland. The chilli was nothing special, could have used more spices and my sisters grilled chicken had no flavour at all!! So disappointed as we were told to go here by friends and family, wouldn’t step foot in here again!

My wife and I (and our 10 month old) had the 4 course valentines meal which was fantastic. Lucas the chef always does well and this was no exception. The staff had gone to town laying the tables and decorating especially. We've eaten here a few times and always enjoyed the food and friendly service.

Had a two night stay in motorhome on the car park. Hosts's were amazing food was excellent and excellent value for money. One of my friends, who breeds beef cattle says her her Ribeye was the best she had ever had. I had the same can't fault ! Locals were initially confused by our presence but were a great bunch. I'd like to say rough and ready but that is a dis-service to this wonderful venue. If you're are a snob don't bother, people will insist on talking to you! If that's what you like WOW great place, great staff, landlady superb and the banter is fantastic. Any plumbing advice required, Friday/Saturay ask for Sid!

Spent a couple of nights here with friends in our motorhomes. What a gem of a pub. The locals and the staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome. There is an extensive menu which is reasonably priced. Generous portions and very tasty.

We have just spent a post Christmas family meal here. We have had the most fantastic afternoon. Both welcoming and amazing food at really good value. We live local and this place never fails to deliver. Give it a try.

I do not usually write a negative review as i am so easy going and rarely picky...but in this case i feel i must. The food was absolutely disgusting. My sister in law ordered mustard mash with belly pork and peas ..only the peas were edible ...the food was cold,the belly pork was not cooked through and was redy pink in places and the mustard mash was tasteless. Granted when she complained about it not being hot the lovely server took it away and it was zapped in the microwave. I had lasagne with chips, salad and garlic bread ...what can I say ....the lasagne was swimming in oil,the cheese on top of the lasagne was a congealed slab, th e salad was swimming in vinegarett, and the chips looked and tasted like they had come from a chippy...in fact I asked the lovely waitress if they were from the chippy ....the garlic bread was ok .. I hate to complain but when the waitress asked if we enjoyed our meal I had to be honest ....most of our food was left. Both the waitresses were extremely apologetic...lovely girls and gave me a portion of our money back. I certainly will never eat there again ...so disappointed ...lovely waitresses.

Cannot thank the staff of The Ash Inn enough for all their help today. The buffet was amazing lots of fresh cooked meats breads pasta salads and the chips 🤤 The room was great and the decking area the kids loved the play area and the staff went above and beyond to make us welcome. Looking forward to the Charity event on the 28th x
