The Master Potter in Staffordshire Moorlands

A charming and cozy little pub that feels refreshingly different from the typical Greene King franchise. The bar staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, engaging in delightful conversation that added a personal touch to our visit. The food was excellent – we tried the sharing platters and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and great value. The pub’s Christmas decorations were beautifully done, creating a warm and festive atmosphere that made our experience even more enjoyable. This is easily one of the best Greene King locations we’ve visited locally, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Lovely food, service was great and reasonably priced.

Not great poor atmosphere drinks prices extortionate. Guess someone has to pay for the poorly thought out highly expensive refurbishment

I go in here regularly and I can say the burgers are worse now than they were before the refurb, 2 patties thin as paper and charged nearly 11 pound and bland as cardboard, no thanks, I’ll go elsewhere

Charlotte did an excellent job organizing our Halloween party. She was very attentive throughout the event and engaged well with both the children and adults. The service was exceptional, and the food quality has significantly improved since the refurbishment.

Master Potter Tean Road Cheadle. Visited last night on 14/11/24, Food and surroundings are excellent. Whether you enjoy football on the large tv’s, or state of the art dart board, the management and staff make you very welcome. Recently refurbished inside and out. A clean, modern and comfortable environment with a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended for a pint and meal👍🏽

Been done up quite well. Very fast meal delivery and all round good place tae visit.

I've not been to the MP for years, my experience was that it was a run down, rather neglected pub chain that had been forgotten about by Greene King. When I heard that it had been refurbished and given a new lease of life I decided to give it another go- and I'm so pleased I did! The decor is lovely, fresh and inviting, and I'm staggered with the sheer amount of space there is now! It looks modern and well thought out. The staff are lovely and welcoming and keep the place in good order. We had some cibatta lunch rolls with sides and they were absolutely delicious. The rosemary salted chips are particularly good! Overall a very pleasant surprise for the Master Potter, and a great value alternative to challenge the chokehold Wetherspoons has on Cheadle!

Wow the master Potter what a transformation!!! Absolutely stunning 😍 and to top it off amazing service from sascha and ollie, the place still looks brand new the attention to detail is mind blowing!! The toilets smell like a spa and not a urine trap. The glass was polished to perfection and the toilets were spotless!! The outside 😍 is 100% a place I'd like to sit in when summer comes!! We had a sharing platter for starters! Tasted fantastic think it was tex mex or somthing was banging. However I think side plates should be provided with this! I had a medium rare serlion steak 😋 and 100% beat Miller and carter from the last time I went there! My mate had the burger of the month and couldn't stop saying wow it's juicy and flavoursome! So a massive well done to kitchen staff for this ❤️👌 well and truly worth the money we spent tonight. We're coming and bringing more friends next time

I went here for my mum's wake. Food was ok but I don't live in this area so it would not be my place to go often. Nice pub but it took me 10 minutes to get served a drink when I walked in.

Nice pints with very good food considering its just a pub not a restaurant, staff are nice but would like bigger portions as i normally have to order 2 mains, good free parking outside and a nice outside space

Me and my family went this evening as we saw it just opened online and wanted to try it out. Overall, food was amazing and prices were reasonable good portion sizes. How ever, the service could be improved there was no one to great us at the entrance to show us to our table. Therefore, we were trying to find our table and walked into the over 18s area then waitress with blonde braids rudely asked for my child’s IDs when it was clear that we didn’t know where we were going.

Firstly I will say the new refurb is lovely, it looks really funky and cool. The staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the food quality has severely declined since the renovation. The old menu had a great range of Vegan choices and vegetarian, unfortunately there’s only now the Mushroom Chilli and the Beyond Meat burger. I had a beyond meat burger and it came with no sauce, no side salad, just a few “rosemary fries”, but I was unable to taste rosemary. It wasn’t very warm either. - other Greene kings have better/more options for example the Vegan bbq cheesy chips and vegan nachos. 3 family members went for the Mac and cheese, it looked undercooked and lacked flavour, a bit more cheese would have been great! One family member ordered the steak (£14 something) and it was tough to cut, the sausage on the side didn’t look cooked. It’s a real shame. I wish they had the old menu to fit with how nicely they’ve decorated!

An outside visitor over to see my brother. We came to the newly camped Master Potter. ABBA night, wonderful pub full of people enjoying the ambience and almost all singing along at the end. So.... We decided to have Sunday lunch here. Had the beef and turkey duo. Perfectly cooked, crunch veggies and of course the obligatory jam roly poly for pud... Definitely recommend this establishment

This was our 3rd visit since the refurb. This is our 'local' go to for family celebrations. The new layout is very attractive and comfortable. Lovely decor. The Staff are really friendly and helpful. But the food is a real let down. Not a patch on the previous menu's. There is far less choice, smaller plates and and most of the the choices are of a poor quality and bland. Certainly over priced for what is on offer. This also applies to many of the drinks. Come on Management do something quickly, or lose your brilliant staff, they shouldn't have to shoulder the complains, and your regular customers.

Absolutely amazing food and very friendly staff we will definitely be coming again soon

Went with friends for lunch last week very good value well presented food served piping hot good selection.friendly welcoming staff.Excellent!

Great job on the restoration.look forward to the summer in the new beer Garden.

Much better quality of food now

Very good, nice to have a new place in Cheadle to go.

First time visiting, won’t be the last. Beautiful refurb. Meal was great. Charlotte was really attentive and friendly.

Very good around. Spotless, friendly good food..nice prices

Charlotte lovely girl excellent service

Super friendly staff, incredible food, lovely atmosphere and beautiful building/design and really good prices too. Apologies from the scare fest clown group that scared your staff!

Just visited for the first time since the refurbishment, and it is much more welcoming. The meal that I had was very good, and well presented, and the staff were very polite, I wil be returning, and would recommend it highly, a very pleasant visit, thank you very much, Brian H.

No curry! No tuna! No sticky toffee pudding! No proper dinner. Expensive and never again. All false advertising on the menu on the website. No mustard and no lasagne. The young waitress turned this experience around and although this is factual, she sorted me out, so I’d say ask. She was so polite and credit to her team. Thank you.

Had lunch here . Was a great atmosphere. Staff were very friendly especially the lady on the bar. We opted for the burger didn't realise there was burger and drink for £10 . So added bonus . Food was tasty . The vegetarian range could do with a bit of planning. Maybe a veggie pie or tart or bake could be on the menu plus also add a vegan option on the seniors menu .overall a good meal

Great food polite friendly staff Great atmosphere very smart decor

A good menu with special offers. Food is lovely.

Really enjoyed our lunchtime visit. Lovely place, great food and really attentive staff. We were served by Ebony. Will definitely be back

Got say what a wonderful welcome we had when first arrived from a lovely smiley young lady name Ria, she looked after us throughout our visit. The food was excellent and the atmosphere very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be returning. Thank you so much.

Met my friend at the recently revamped Master Potter, for our bi-monthly get together. We have been before but the change was clear to see. The pub was quite busy and the atmosphere was lovely. Really nice outdoor area which I am sure we will try in the summer. Staff were very helpful and came regularly to check everything was ok and cleaned the empty table immediately which was great. I was 'encouraged' to try the halloumi with sweet chilli sauce starter - highly recommend and the cheesy garlic bread was delicious. We then both had the katsu curry which came with wild rice and chips, absolutely piping hot and delicious and I was so full at the end I didn't have room to try the cookie with ice-cream that I had spotted but that will definitely be sampled next time. All in all a great night, lovely venue and really nice staff that are extremely helpful - would highly recommend a visit.

The waitress poppy cliff was the nicest person I have ever met the food was delicious and everyone was welcoming

It was a lovely meal with the family and very well priced. The waitress’s, poppy and morgan, were so friendly and attentive. They couldn’t do enough. We will definetly be coming back!!!

Beautifully decorated love the outside space and the toilets fab will be back

Shocking, first we had booked for 7 adults for a birthday. The table was barely big enough for six. Orders for drinks, only one med glass of pino... that was the ONLY white wine they had on the premises but they did manage to squeeze a large red wine from somewhere...and that was the end of the red as well. I could go on and on but have better things to do. Suffice to say, the food ranged from awful to mediocre and the whole experience was ghastly. To add insult to injury they didn't even wish the birthday girl a happy birthday 😕😕🥴

Charlotte was geat behind the bar. Ebonie was a brilliant serving our food. Great local for beers and food...m9st staff at great

I was served by a lovley young girl.her name was Ebony.she was very polite and had a lovley smile.i was made to feel like nothing was a problem to her.and every 1 was really welcoming.oliver the manager was very welcoming.xx

Lovely friendly place, and staff were lovely too. Went for a 1 off but ate there the 5 nights we had in Alton. Great fresh food and great menu and prices were good too.

Great food and lovely service , poppy was so attentive and kind.

✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ July 2024 Positive update. See end of Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A couple of us went to this pub for a meal at lunch time today . I decided to download the app and order a drink to see how fast it would actually come, because I couldn’t see anyone on the bar . Anyway nothing arrived and to be fair I was the first in ordering . So I nipped up and waited and I saw what looked like the lady in charge and she apologised. She was a very pleasant lady. The other server was nattering away round the corner. Anyway I got my drink and sat down . We decided to order two meals. An ultimate combo and a medley of burgers meal with chips. Six burger in total. Unfortunately. My burgers were hit and miss. I ate two. The southern fried chicken was lovely and the cheese burger one was ok but the others were barely warm. I did mention it to a young lady who mentioned it to who was on the bar but nothing could be done apparently. The other meal looked over cooked. The thing is mine looked like it was warmed up meat but apparently it was cooked fresh? Anyway I’m always honest on here and considering we went six months ago to the same pub and the food was ace somethings gone wrong here. Very disappointed and the last time I’ll go there. Shame as I used this pub for many years. And it was fine then . Cheers folks and merry Christmas And see you at spoons lol from Now on. ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ Update July 2024 After a family visit This place is like night and day! Nice food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Well done Master potter, keep the improved hard work up. Next update Xmas 2024.

Decent food, arrived quickly. Our server was very pleasant: Liv I think she said her name was?

Steak would have had more stars but it was very chewy, it was cooked medium as ordered so all in all not bad, the steak needed hammering more to make it tender. Staff were very good

Didn't eat but food looks OK, good atmosphere and got served quite quick

Visited here after a trip to Alton Towers and food was good, place was clean and staff friendly with good value food

Great value food and friendly staff

Great service when me and a few friends went for food, the bar man Harrison did a brilliant job serving us. Food was brilliant, compliments to the chefs who i told were Wes and Carol and compliments to brilliant service from Macey and Morgan.

Brilliant night Great food , accommodated at last minute by Heather Great atmosphere Recommended

Went here for a family meal it was recommended by a friend. 10 people including children. We were made most welcome, our visit was arranged by Heather. Staff were jolly and attentive , the food was expertly cooked. It was tasty and the steak was perfect. We had a fantastic night Thank you to all

We had a fantastic experience when we walked into the pub. Charlotte, our server, greeted us warmly and promptly took our drink orders. She was incredibly polite and made sure that all our needs were met. We were impressed with her attentive and friendly service. Whilst having our drinks, we decided to order food. Charlotte was quick to take our order and even opened a tab for us. The food arrived promptly and exceeded our expectations. It was served piping hot and tasted incredibly fresh. We were thoroughly satisfied with our meals. Throughout our time at the pub, we couldn't help but notice how friendly and helpful all the staff members were. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great experience. We highly recommend the staff at this pub for their excellent service. In particular, we would like to give a special shoutout to Charlotte for her exceptional service. She was not only friendly but also went out of her way to make our visit memorable. We would highly recommend her as a server. Overall, we had a wonderful time at the Master Potter. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the service was top-notch. We would like to thank everyone involved for making our experience so enjoyable.

Lovely drinks and atmosphere the bar maid Charlotte is very helpful and serves her customers very quickly. Shes lovely

Food was excellent on the Friday night (busiest night). Was served promptly, food was delicious and hot. Saturday night was disappointing. Items missing from the meal, service extremely slow, food not overly hot and left a lot of improvement. Chalking it up to a bad night. Decor could definitely be redone, felt really outdated.

Got blueline discount so reasonable prices with discount. Everyone enjoyed the food. Picture is sweet nachos, which I have not had before.

Great hungry horse with good park, little play park. Food was great and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great food and service ollie is great

Staff are on the ball here. Poppy especially is so friendly and hard working always with a smile.Ollie has done so much for the pub and he's always mucking in with the rest of the team. We'll done everyone 5* plus

It is a pleasure to now come out to this pub. Olly is second to none as a manager and is well supported by his partner Tracey who is now working in the pub. All round great team and pub making it an invaluable local to the community..
