The Gresley Arms in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Beautiful Sunday lunch with cosy fires and lovely staff. Good selection of beers for the hubby. Always lovely food. Feeling Christmassy🎄

Very disappointed. Took my dad to visit his old Saturday afternoon local. He used to go every Saturday afternoon and meet up with lots of locals. The room we remember had disapeared. There was no warm fire, no carpet, no atmosphere, no xmas tree. There were sofás and sideboards with kids toys on them. It was not cosy or welcoming. Who wants to sit on a low sofa in a pub. Not a 80 year old. The beer was not the best. We went in the restaurant for food, which was good. At least something reminded him of the past. Will not return

Went for a few drinks and a pork pie. Enjoyed the drinks and the pork pie was delicious, but unfortunately the room was very cold. I like to feel cosy when in a pub. This was not enjoyable so we left and went somewhere warm.

My husband i enjoyed a lovely sunday lunch today at the Gresley Alsagers Bank. The pub had a lovely homely atmosphere which some pubs lack, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and well presented would recommend this small village pub 100,,%..

Visited the Gresley Arms Alsagers Bank For Lunch and Drinks Today 02/11/24, Purchsed Two Main Meals, Gamon And Egg and Trimmings, and Two Cheesecakes with ice Cream, Food was Delicious, Quick Service and Very Pleasant Staff,Would Highly Recommend this Establishment to Friends and Family, Will be Returning Again.

Friendly staff, excellent well cooked food from a good selection on the menu. Our dogs were also welcomed. Will definitely go again.

Great meal at the Gresley only to be ruined by some know-it-all locals who thought it was entertaining to patronise me and my family because we didn't know what views we were looking at from the back of the pub. He was Ginger, That probably explains it.

The food is very very very very good. The view even better. Have rattler on draught which is a rarity for pubs not down south.

Such a lovely meal, and STUNNING VIEWS. We had such a tasty meal here on a lovely summer’s evening. I had a pizza and my parents had a fillet steak and a steak and ale pie. The side of onion rings were brilliant! I finished off with churros that I sincerely hope become a permanent addition to their menu as they were fab! Helpful smiley service and delicious food. I could sit outside staring across the countryside for hours.

We’d never visited before but I’ve recently moved to the area and wanted family to enjoy a nice Sunday lunch together. Unfortunately the service was very slow , the waiting staff pretty un knowledgeable about what sauces they had , and everywhere looked messy and a bit grubby , with uncleared tables and young staff standing around chatting as we arrived with no one to greet us. Won’t be back .

Food overpriced for the poor quality presented. Disappointing as it’s a lovely pub with good choice of drinks and friendly staff.

We enjoyed a lovely walk out to the Gresley Arms with friends and our 2 Labradors. Great find, pub was fantastic, great drink choices, beers, ciders etc… The staff were brilliant, very friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble. The food is superb, all home cooked and great value too. We will certainly be returning very soon Thank you

We were visiting friends and decided to walk the dogs and pop in for lunch. Staff very welcoming and polite, good choice of real ales and wide selection on menu for lunch. We all choose different meals and no one was disappointed. We all had main and desert and will certainly return when visiting them again. nice to find a pub very dog friendly.

Good food we eat here often lunch & Evenings had some family Birthday meals Sunday lunch good A pint of one of the guest ales Beartown,Abbeydale,Three Tuns & other good ales evening watching the Sun Set Great views

Love visiting the Gresley.fabulous views.great menu choice and food is lovely. Staff are very friend and there is an homely atmosphere.

Great chips! In fact the best chips that I’ve ever had anywhere. We just had a lunch snack of steak baguette with a Yorkshire pudding and a very thick, rich gravy. It was good.

The pub has stunning views. The car park is half beer garden and railings that resemble a builders yard. The food was disgusting. One meal had homemade chips The other frozen. Greasy margarine and soaked in fat. No one came to check the food was okay otherwise we would have said how bad it was. By far the worst food in a pub in a long time. The staff are miserable and the pub is dark and grim inside and needs a good clean. Never again. It's not difficult to get the basics right and at £11 pounds each that was so wrong.

The views from The Gres are spectacular and well worth a visit for those alone. Unfortunately seems totally lacking in any kind of warmth or welcome when visiting almost a feeling of "your not local you don't belong here" which is a shame as I was born & bred just down the hill & was looking forward to visiting the local pubs in the area whilst I was back. Still worth a visit to sit out in the beer garden and admire the views.

We ended up here for lunch today following a recommendation from the landlord of The Butcher’s Arms (who weren’t serving food). Firstly the views are stunning. It was too warm for us outside, but plenty of people were in the garden enjoying the sunshine. The service was great. We ordered at the bar and the food came pretty quickly. All of the staff were friendly and polite. The food menu has loads of choice. Our food was absolutely brilliant. We all had the garlic mushrooms and shared a portion of chips. I know some of the reviews on here have said it’s overpriced, but we genuinely thought it was great value for money. Considering this dish was on the ‘appetiser’ section of the menu, the portions were generous and filling. I would definitely recommend this pub and will certainly visit again if I’m in the area.

Lovely food , yet we found the soft drinks ( lemonade/ coke ) to be a close price to alcohol. For that reason ( won’t be visiting again )

Well as soon as we walked in the bar there was a bad atmosphere the bar staff were rude.. they didn’t even crack a smile once.. there was a random customer who walked behind the bar (older lady with long grey hair hippy kind of style) think She thought she was someone special.. she gave me a dirty look and rolled her eyes at me and was walking around like she owned the place.. she wasn’t nice but then again all The staff were miserable I had salmon and my fella had Mediterranean veg etc.. he didn’t eat his said it was disgusting (he’s a Michelin sous chef .. he’s said the “ Mediterranean veg was just a dollop of tomato Puree it was under seasoned and cold and my dish I had a salmon and potatoes it was awful! No seasoning again .. the waitress at the beginning even took our salt off the table.. oh and she was rude as well .. asked for a shot as it’s my fellas birthday and they said “ they don’t do shots”..erm ok… never known a normal bar to refuse Me a shot jesus. Over all bad experience.. awful miserable shaft.. awful food and bad place to go (used to Be nice when They had different staff and chef.) I wouldn’t bother again ** too pricey as well **

8oz rump steak nearly £17 ... The steak had been cut in half , there was a clear knife cut through it ?? a small pot of frozen pea,s 1 tomato cut in half .. not really worth the money ...expected much better from a pub that has being going for so many years .. chips were nice steak was ok .. sorry dissapointed ...

Went out with a friend for lunch and had a hot turkey baguette which came with a Yorkshire, stuffing, beautiful homemade chips and a small jug of gravy. Price was right and service prompt and attentive. However returned the following Monday with family and was disappointed that the hot turkey was not on the specials, they did have a beef version but opted for a brie and bacon, bread very good, but chips obviously chunky but cooked frozen ones. Others had the ceasar salad and club sandwich on bloomer bread. The food was OK, but not as good as the previous time. Will give them another go sometime as I was so impressed on the first occasion and will make mind up then.

We came before Christmas on a Saturday afternoon- the first time in years and it was brilliant I even left a lovely review, so we knew that for our wedding anniversary tonight this is where we wanted to come , table was booked over the phone yesterday, we get there our names not in the book whoever I spoke to hadn’t added it , but it’s ok as it’s quite ( good job) the menu on Fb is not the menu you get when you sit down , they don’t do table service for drinks (they did when we where here last)so when I went to order I asked why it had changed and was told it depends who’s on , ( so in other words if they can’t be bothered then tough) we ordered starters and waited and waited they finally arrived after nearly 40 minutes, they where ok , we had both ordered steak ,when it arrived there’s 12 chips on each plate so I gave my hubby my chips , the steaks ok , but you only get steak , chips , very well done peas and a grilled tomato, we ordered a portion of onion rings (£4.50) for 5 , £2 for a sauce which isn’t bad but £2 for garlic butter ? So it all mounts up to get a decent steak dish , we couldn’t wait to get to the car as it was freezing my hubby had his coat on and I had my hands in my pockets , we were both gutted as for the last 2 years have been unable to celebrate our wedding anniversary due to my husbands Ill health , we definitely won’t be going here again in a hurry

Went in to regular haunt , and had a starter of soup nice to be fair , coffee came in a glass mug with lipstick on , I ordered bangers and mash for my main , the peas were shrivelled and like marbles , the mash I’ve had softer set concrete the 2 sausage were microwaved to death I managed to eat half a sausage as it was very tuff , the gravy of onion gloop reminded me of jelly out of pork pies , the chap who runs it came over and said is everything ok to which I said no he didn’t respond just walked away ,he then said he would credit me from the coffee ( which I hadn’t complained about I’m guessing £2-3 . He wouldn’t credit my meal as I had ate a fork full of mash and half a sausage im guessing £10-12 . I’ve never complained in my life and this is the first review I’ve ever left but could of been resolved by being right instead of trying spin me , unfortunately due to this experience and the down turn in cleanliness I won’t be back , I’m sure I could get over priced poor food from anywhere

We enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings - roast parsnips, roast potatoes, extra gravy, pigs in blankets..... thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice friendly staff, great drinks selection. It's a thumbs up from me!

Nice burgers, pies and chips here, but really don't get why restaurants are stingy with cheap ingredients, for example, if you are having pie and mash you want enough mash to go with it not a child's sized blob! Peas were very undercooked which some people might not like, I didn't mind as I quite like crunchy veg. Pleasant staff, tatty beer garden. Appreciate that the toilets were nice and warm!

We went for some lunch as we’ve not been here in a very long time , we both had rump steak cooked to perfection, proper chips , and we both had a sauce to go on the top and this was delicious, the waiter was really nice and pleasant, we will definitely be back

This pub is not trad. Its also not some swanky place full of snooties. Bit of a hippy vibe. Great food. Brilliant vibe and views. Lovely owners.

Came and ordered fish&chips, peas.... Received and found chips not cooked through? Asked for refund & found weird bartender tasted My food... Saying chips ok?... But they wer Not with me.... Will not come there again, or pass on any good news of your selfs.......

Went for drinks decided to eat. Pie was nice but portions very small only 8 chips and I know in desperate times but a few more chips wouldn't break the bank. Quite expensive for for little food. Cheesecake beautiful but again minute portion? I'm not...

Booked a table for 2 on arrival was informed how many dishes were unavailable… both chose our food and waited 15 minutes for our order to be taken I ordered steak and Stilton pie which came and was inedible… pastry was rock hard and meat...

I have just been in the Gresley arms expecting a nice warm welcome only to be shoved into the lounge away from the locals like I am not good enough to associate with them. I felt really uncomfortable I ordered a drink and was told...

First visit back to this 'local'since lockdown and change of owners so interested to see if it maintained its previous high standards. Still a great array of real ales, excellently kept and well priced. but the lunch menu is now overpriced compared to competitors offering...

Charged £4.20 for the tiniest side order of chips, complained about price, but told the price is due to the chips being hand-made. Absolute rip-off for the portion size, small cup must have only contained about 10 chips!!

After a good walk up from Newcastle-under-Lyme I looked at the menu and decided that Fish & Chips was a good reward so I order the Large Fish & Chips for £11.95. My meal arrived quite quickly, but it certainly was not Large, it wasn't...

Super pub ideal for a nice day even in winter Fantastic view Good food Worth a visit Fab beer garden for dry days. Cosy interior for a cold day

Not been for a long time but went with family. nice young man showed us to our table and then nothing !didn't give us menus or offer to get us drinks not a good start Waitress came and apologised got our drinks and gave us...

Not been for ages, looks like has got new owners, inside been redecorated. Menu been revamped, vegan delights etc. Ordered large fish and chips, friend had gammon. Was disappointed with the size of the large fish and chips. Normal size fish and a small tower...

Wow. Just been to the Gresley Arms, amazing food great choice of drinks and the most friendly staff and owners along with an amazing view. We had the Burger with Stilton Cheese it was the best burger ever with the most amazing home made chips...

We went for Saturday lunch on a lovely sunny day and decided to sit in the beer garden. It was only 15 minutes after opening time and there was already a few tables taken. Really good range of lagers, ale and cider. We both had...

Hi all went to the GREASLY arms today 31st may ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT atmosphere great will return 👍👍

Best Sunday lunch in the area bar none, beautiful home cooked as you would get at home, also excellent selection of beers. Will be returning as soon as the lock down is over!

Great food, service and view 👌🏻 Would definitely come back for a meal. Everything was freshly prepared and delicious.

We were a party of 14 ramblers booked in for lunch, Covid awareness was very apparent and strictly adhered to.Friendly and welcoming staff, excellent food and service,would highly recommend..

The view here is one of the best anywhere. The drinks were very nice. Menu choice is limited but food was good. Staff were lovely.

The plan was to meet up with friends for pizza whilst admiring the extensive views. I arrived last as I had cycled through Apedale. 5 at our table already and no room for a sixth, so I retired to the bar with a pint of Gamma Ray and a comfortable sofa. After a little deliberation a table for six was vacated and we ordered food. All excellent. A very enjoyable evening had by all and a promise to return.

Friendly pub in excellent location with good choice of beers, lagers, wine, gins etc but the food was a huge disappointment

the worst place I have ever been in my entire life. 1st night out since having my 2nd baby. So me and 2 girlfriends met up at a friends house who lives 2 minutes away, the bar staff were lovely. However, a barmaid called Danielle I think, told my friend in the toilet that there were no seats for us randomly, we had booked and been there for an hour already and had a table. She had a major attitude problem and was rude and abrupt for no reason. My friend who works for the police, was shouted at by the owner for swearing, he could have just come over and politely asked, instead he shouted so the whole pub could hear him! Sexist, abusive, because we were a group of 3 younger girls he seemed to think he could speak down to us and embarrass us. Lucky my husband didn't turn up. (we are fully grown professional adults by the way) there were no children about. At this point, understandably, we were getting fed up of the treatment. He proceeded to be extremely rude to us which led to myself walking out and crying and my friends arguing with him. He shouted good when I left. The most disrespectful man I have ever had to endure. We had to take our food out and back to my friends house which he proceeded to charge us for!!! After abusing us for majority of time we were there. My friend works for the NHS which he knew and tried to compare his job in a pub to working front line during covid ?? Is that a joke? Treatment of front line staff is disgusting Im not sure why we were given such a cold reception from the moment we walked in. Very judgemental, very rude even though he is just a pub owner, he seems to think he's doing better than everyone else in life. Well you arent and you should never judge people the way that you did. Vile vile man.we go to high end bars and pubs alot, in manchester especially and never get this treatment.

Food & beer excellent again I’m not a big dessert person but they are irresistible 😋👍 The view from there is probably the best around and have watched quite a few sunsets, the service is spot on

Been here many times for drinks with the view in the nice weather, decided to stay for food one evening & was not disappointed ! The dining room doesn’t look amazing so I didn’t expect much BUT the food was amazing !! I had a vegetarian burger & was spoilt for choice from the menu, my meal was lovely & so was dessert. Great little pub, fantastic value for money (big portions) & welcoming lovely staff, see you soon the gres !

We visited the gresley arms tonight for our first post lockdown meal. We took my parents who whilst looking forward to dining out were nervous about what to expect. From the moment we arrived we felt reassured by the measures in place. We had a table with the most amazing views and all 4 meals were delicious. For anyone who is looking for a lovely meal and dining experience but is nervous I would say don’t hesitate to book a table. We will be back

Hated this place when the old management was still running it as they were awful and so was the quality of everything. I have been here a number of times both for food and drink as I live about 5 minutes away. The new boss is soooo warm and friendly and the atmosphere is much more relaxed. I really enjoyed the food, I have had the vegetarian burger which was delicious so was the side salad and also the chorizo and hummus flatbread and the fish and chips which was divine!! All the food comes promptly and you can tell it’s fresh. The staff are lovely and always smiling and to top it off there’s a great gin selection!! It’s always busy, as it should be and I’m happy it’s my local! It really is great quality food and drink with a lovely atmosphere and extremely reasonable prices!

We visited The Gresley Arms for the 4th time. Yet again we were not disappointed. I had the Sunday lunch. The beef was lovely and tender and the vegetables were deliciously seasoned. The atmosphere is very welcoming and there is a great range of beers. The staff are friendly and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit

First time visiting since being under new management. Busy place, lots of locals socialising which is a good sign.We were the first diners of the evening and the restaurant quickly filled with other diners.We ordered our drinks at the bar and were seated quickly. My husband did pass comment that the Blonde Beer was slightly warm so changed his drink to Larger. The meal was nice. T Bone steak was probably slightly over cooked from the Medium ordered but still nice. The lamb shank was lovely, the meat fell off the bone. The mash was a little too wet. But it was piping hot.The only criticism we have really is the service as once the meals were delivered to us, no one came back to ask if everything was ok and to order our second drink, we had to catch the eye of a member of staff to ask for more drinks. We would return with friends in the future. Average probably isn't the right measure, it was good but not very good. It's a lovely place and recommend people do visit and make their own opinions.

I asked Ruth if she could provide a buffet for my Mums wake. The food and the service that was provided was exceptional. Fresh sandwiches, home made soup (the tastiest carrot & coriander EVER) with fresh crusty bread, pork pie, chips, cakes, plentiful tea and coffee and all the guests very kindly waited on and looked after by Ruth. Nobody left hungry! A lovely pub with lovely owners. Thank you so much to you & the barman too.

Having recently returned to Cheshire/North Staffs after decades overseas, we visited The Gresley on a sunday lunch scouting mission and were not disappointed. Traditional pub with locals bar and lounge, welcoming staff and excellent beers plus a dining sunroom and beer garden at back with stunning views to the west over the Cheshire plain. The dining room filled up fast and though we hadn't booked, the staff found us a table. Food was more than plentiful and incredible value - good, wholesome home cooked fayre served by happy, attentive staff. Nouvelle cuisine is to be found in other more pricey establishments!Will definitely be returning.

a lovely warm welcome from Ruth, Wayne, Steve and staff at the Gresley Arms!9 of us on a works Christmas meal visited Thursday 4th Dec, having chose from the Christmas menu and the alternative menu, both were commented on being delicious!the standard of service and food was excellent, a lovely evening had by all, Thank you we will be visiting again soon!!.

The food quality has improved dramatically. Quality steaks, own cooked chips and even home made onion rings. Overall very good. Nothing is perfect so it has to be 4 stars but on the way to excellent. Thanks for a great meal.

This was our 2nd visit to the Gresley Arms, this time for Sunday lunch. We previously took advantage of the steak night. On both occasions the meals were delicious and great value. The staff couldn't have been more attentive and friendly. We were able to move tables to take advantage of the wonderful views! We look forward to trying the other menu choices. Rachel

Turned up at 5.45 pm for an unplanned visit. I asked if there was a table to be told sorry just one table and rudely told "you will have to wait we dont start taking orders before 6 its up to you"... and flaunced off without making eye contact .we didnt stop thank you for being such an inconvenience!

4 ladies out for lunch. Very clean and tidy pub and friendly staff. Myself and my friend had a lovely fish in batter with mushy peas and thick cut chips and our other two friends had eggs ham and chips and vegetarian skewers. We were served quite quickly and everything was lovely and hot and well presented and we were all full up afterwards. Good choice of deserts too. Good value for money worked out at roughly £10 each excluding drinks. Will definitely go back soon.

We have been frequenting the Gresley for over ten years minimum twice a week. We are not local but just down the road in n-u-l the drive up was no problem as the quality of the Gresley warranted it. We loved the food and the great selection of real ales. We awaited the new owners with trepidation and hoped that no major changes would happen. We have continued to visit the Gresley since the Change over, but unfortunately upon every visit we found different aspects to be poor. We didn’t enjoy our meal one visit the steaks where mean and just made us feel as though we where given less than normal. The bar staff seem to be preoccupied and under the impression that they are serving on a Friday night in Hanley weatherspoons. We visited on Monday evening to find the place shut ? Eat for a pound is gone and seems to be quite a sore point with management and customers? This enticement was the only thing made us travel up on Mondays ? This weekend is the first time we have decided not to go the Gresley in a long time , and we feel very sad about it. I’ve seen resent Gresley responses across social media to negative feedback to be quite flippant and rude. I really hope the pub survives, we loved that pub!

Came here with my wife a couple of weeks ago, we initially came in just for a drink but were asked if we were dining, as we hadn’t eaten we decided to stay for a meal.

Are here with friends for Sunday lunch. We both had the brisket of beef (£8) and was wonderful. Great selection of vegetables, wonderful gravy and the beef was so tender it fell to pieces. The only downside really was the Yorkshire pudding being of the frozen variety, but this didn't spoil the meal at all. A good selection of beers, I had the gresely blonde which was a really great tasty, light beer. This is a location definitely better on a good day, with some really good views across Cheshire and the beer garden having a lot of room.

When last night for food and it was very nice thank you good food good price and good portions good service, recommend the cheese board after your meal if you have room for it

This is normally one of our favourite places to eat and drink. I am very disappointed with the state of the beer garden today. The tables were empty when we arrived but were full of empty glasses which looked like they had been there a while as they were swarming with wasps. We sit outside but the wasps were everywhere, the bin was overflowing which wasn’t helping the situation. The views from the beer garden are amazing which was why it was disappointing to see the beer garden in such a mess. It did seem they were under staffed when ordering the drinks at the bar which might explain the state the beer garden was in. I really hope this was a one off due to staffing as it is a lovely country pub with good beers, l food and amazing views.

We booked a table for 7 guests, nice friendly welcome and after being shown to our table we bought drinks and placed our order. All of us had a starter and a main course.

I've had the good fortune to visit an excellent pub, friendly staff great selection of beer's and absolutely superb food, and to top it all the awesome view from the beer garden and restraunt will take some beating, if your thinking of visiting this pub stop thinking and go, don't waste any more time thinking, I will most definitely be returning, we both had the black pudding stack starter, I had lamb shank main my partner had the 12oz gammon, and wow it was faultless and full of flavour, the chips were worth a separate mention as they were among the best I've ever eaten.

Proper pub that does great food four of us all ordered steaks really well cooked and fantastic value for money t-bone steaks for £14 where else can you order them for that price

Since discovering The Gresley at Christmas we have been in regularly since and have got to know regulars and staff alike, we must have tried every meal on the menu and have never been disappointed, these know how to keep a pub good ,good beer, good food, great value and most of all a friendly welcome. Thank you Gresley see you soon.

I recently visited for a meal with my family and I was not disappointed. The food was fantastic with a wide variety of food on the menu. The alcohol selection was very extensive at prices that were very good. I highly recommend visiting the gresley arms if you want to have a meal or just a casual drink!

I visited today for the first time since this pub has been taken over. I asked for Ludwig beer which they have done for years..There were no beer pumps with Ludwig on. I'm not sure what the bar man gave me BUT it was not right. When I took it back saying it should b a cloudy wheat beer which looking at it, it obviously wasn't. He just assured me it was. Its was not a good beer. Next pint I asked for was warsteiner, which they have pumps for. Sorry.. We don't do that... Whilst at the bar the barman was telling a local that someone had complained about the price of the beer and he had told them that if they don't like it don't come back !! I didn't buy another pint but went to my seat to wait for my wife to drink up and the fella in the next table went up to the bar complaining that his beer tasted strange. Barman said it was fine. He just left it on the bar saying it was undrinkable.. No offer of an alternative was given.. At this rate they won't have many customers left after the previous owners had worked so hard to build the business up..

Gorgeous food! Small plates and a steak all very tasty! Beautiful views! Will definitely be back! Nothing to fault!

Went and had some tea an it was lovely fish and chips for a quid and it was really nice. The view is sweet lovely sunset. Perfect angle for sunsets. We will defo be goin again. G. Ferris

Stopped at this place for a bite and a drink, or so we thought!

The top of the tree as far as pub grub goes steaks are amazing not only that they have a great selection of cask ale it’s superb

Our first visit to the pub/restaurant, definitely not our last. A true gem of a place that kicks the multi pubs into a cocked hat. Good sized car park with a view that beats everything I have seen. The Gresley is set on the crest of a hill and has uninterupted views across to North Wales - not bad when you think we are in Staffordshire.

We were driving back home on the M6 and decided to look for somewhere for dinner and found this pub. The menu had a good choice and the food was well cooked.

The Gresley Arms is a warm and welcoming pub in Alsagers Bank, close to the Staffordshire - Cheshire border. The staff are friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. My wife and I were taken out on Mother’s Day, which this year, 2019, also happened to be my wifes Birthday and we had a great time.

Been following this pub on Facebook

This public house is a little off the beaten track but well worth the effort of a visit. Well kept real ales in abundance. Food that is delicious and reasonably priced.Friendly and welcoming service . Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

Our first visit to this lovely pub. I couldn’t find anything to complain about. I booked a table by phone at the beginning of the week. No waiting to be shown to our table. The food quality was excellent. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Wonderful home cooked chunky chips. (We had a 16oz Rump Steak and a 14oz T-bone for £20). Desserts were excellent too. I can recommend the cheese board and the cheesecake. To top it off the staff are really nice and made us feel very welcome.

Really poor customer service this place they don’t do samples of any of there ales so basically if your not much for your pint it’s tuff !

My wife and I often go out for a pub lunch / Dinner. We have had meals at The Gresley Arms over the past 3 weeks and would have no hesitation in recommending The Gresley Arms to anyone. The selection of beers and choice of meals are first class, We would like to thank everyone at The Gresley Arms Gary & Elaine Wakefield

Booked for five of us going to away match at Macclesfield, although I had booked for 12.30 ,traffic and road works on the M6 delayed us, I called to say we would be later than intended and would be there for 13.00, was assured this would not be a problem.

Visited amazingly for the 1st time & had lunch....great pub, simple no nonsense quality food, would love to sit in that beer garden in summer with the amazing view...will be back!

We visited on a Friday night. The service was excellent by very cheerful staff and the food was superb. My steak was quite the best I've had for a long time and my wife had the steak pie, both absolutely lovely, nothing left on the plate!

This was our first visit for over 10 years. We were impressed by the menu. There is an excellent choice of dishes at very reasonable prices. The food was very good. If there was a criticism it is a lack of choice to peas and chips.

I have just been here for a meal with my wife that I won in a competition and the food was exceptional and to be honest I would have gladly paid for the meal. The staff are so very friendly and helpful and can’t do enough and as we had never been there before we will definitely be returning with all of the family. Will try to go there in the day so we can experience the fantastic views so thanks to everyone for making our visit a fantastic one and we will see you all soon. Would and will definitely recommend to everyone I know.

The gresley has now been a local of mine for around 5 years and as biased as this may be it is simply the best around in the area.

excellent service and food, so many cask ales too for hubby ... recommended friendly and welcoming staff.

I hadn't been in the gresley, for at least 20 years. But have been twice in the last 2weeks, the food is amazing and very reasonable.

We have visited The Gresley Arms several times since discovering it and it has always been spot on so we decided to have our family xmas celebration there on Boxing Day, 12 of us in total ordering from the Christmas Fayre menu less than £15 a head for a 3 course meal with coffe and mince pies and crackers thrown in and only £10 for kids. We were looked after from the moment we arrived by Sarah and her team and the food as always was delicious. We had a mixture of tradional xmas dinners, steak, seabass etc and everyone was more than happy. My wife had to 5 drive home because an absolute favourite of mine Owd Rodger was on the bar it is 7.4% so a bit potent. The guys at The Gresley have got it spot on so we'd like to wish the a Merry Xmas and we'll see you in the New Year.

We tried to visit to eat today, we checked their website before we visited and it states dog and family friendly. BUT dogs not allowed in the restaurant and children not allowed in the bar area. Are we meant to eat separately? We left and tried somewhere else....

Whilst most reviews suggest that The Gresley Arms offers great food, there is always an element of doubt. Well, happily, we found that the best of the reviews are pretty accurate - great food, good beer and great value!

Party of 8. Nice food. Rump steaks looked good.

Tried the Greeley Arms tonight as I’ve not been before. The food was excellent, all the starters were £3.95 so we had a starter each followed by the mains.

Well this place keeps popping up on my FB page so today we thought we would give it a go. We are so pleased we did. As soon as you walk in you are made welcome the landlady was lovely as were all the staff. It was crazy busy but the landlady found us a table. We both had a roast dinner which is served on proper plates! And not the little sandwich plates that most pubs use and the meals were delicious. Will deffo be going to steak night . Got to say as well all the customers were really friendly it was a pleasure to go there. Sat outside admiring the stunning view and watched the sunset. I was freezing my ti** off but worth it.

I was up in Staffordshire for my nephews birthday and although the family had raved about The Gresley Arms this was my first visit.On entering the car park I was just hit by that view, it was a crisp, clear Autumn day so we could see for miles, I was reliably informed the view stretches from the Wrekin in Shropshire along past the Welsh Mountains to Liverpool and beyond. The pub itself is a warm, homely country pub in the same family for years, the prices were fantastic just over £3 a pint for proper beer. The menu has a lot of choice for a pub but steak seems to be the speciality so I chose the T-Bone cooked medium rare and it was spot on served with onion rings and garlic mushrooms with fat chips and salad, the rest of our party seemed to choose the rest of the menu, everthing arrived at the same time and looked great. This friendly pub seems to know what they are doing, this is a rare find these days and I would gladly recommend this pub to anyone.
