The Milehouse in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Beautiful place amazing food. Great service and acknowledged celebrations with small food / drink gifts.

lovely meal, delicious food with a reasonable price for the quality. lots of cocktails and nice wine list too. our servers scarlett and becky took great care of us and made our night really special - thanks girls xx

Warm atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food.highly recommended especially for groups.

Amazing steaks and great staff, food was amazing and service was really good, overall a great time there, our servers Daisy and Tyler did a great job and were interactive and kind

Lovey meal great surroundings lousy service

Lovely atmosphere but not alot of choice if you have a nut allergy as they take the item off but don't offer than alternative. Portions aren't overly large either but all in all food was tasty

Great Sunday dinner and a fantastic large table/private room for our large group. Shane, Daisy and Libby looked after us, they were great.

Super service by Bailey who was so friendly and helpful throughout, for our large party. Food outstanding. Service outstanding. Loved the place.

Shane Libby Daisy All took great care of the group. The room was big and spacious and the food was excellent. All 3 staff made sure all our needs were met. Shane took extra care to ensure that everyone was happy from the moment we walked through the door

Shane Lobby Daisy Friendly efficient service

Amazing service!! Staff were great and very attentive to us during our stay here!!

Lovely night out celebrating a friends 22nd birthday . Staff were so welcoming and amazing service from the bar to table.

Brilliant staff, lovely service

Booked an impromptu date night and it’s the first time I’ve been to the Milehouse! It was super busy when we turned up on a Saturday night but service was surprisingly quick, the starters came out fast and were really nice, my husband and I both had steaks and my husband said it was one of the nicest steaks he’s had, I had the port and Stilton sauce with mine which was really nice, good choice on mocktails too I had a frozen one which was really refreshing, would definitely return

Came here with my family for my 60th Birthday meal, apart from the 2 ladies at the bar, the overall customer service was terrible, the food was awful I ordered seabass as am not a redmeat or pork eater, why would you have small cubes of bacon!! in it, desert took forever people even cancelled their desert orders. it was annoying we had forwarded them everyone's choices a week beforehand 19 of us .No one came to check if anything was needed I didn't even get a cupcake with a candle!!

Went to the millhouse in Newcastle under lyme to celebrate my sisters 60th Birthday..the building itself was ok,and the young lady behind the bar was,it was all downhill from there,we booked the big table for 19 people,and sent in our choices from the menu a week beforehand When we arrived and spoke to staff they informed us that he only had 15 and was adamant about this until we showed him the email showing 19 people. We were seated at 7.15 served with starters about 7.35, they cleared the table about 8.30.we had all finished the starters pretty quickly, Then another long wait for the main course 9.20,we waited again for the table to be cleared,2 staff clearing the table 2 plates per visit,then another long wait for desert,I personally found a staff member and cancelled my desert order... Have have never written a review before,but the service the we recieved was substandard,at no point during the evening did anyone come to the table and ask us anything,we were not offered any water,or hows everything going etc, the only person that offered a smile was the young lady behind the bar... The food was cold as the service. It doesn't take much to look as if your enjoying your work,but judging by the way the staff behaved,it's quite clear that they looked like they would prefer to be somewhere else.. Absolutely would not recommend eating this place, Terrible service,food wasn't good,

Certainly will not be going here again,it all went downhill after leaving the bar area,waiters did not make us feel welcomed,they were very cold,drove from manchester to celenrate my sisters 60th Birthday, its was wet and cold, The last thing you wanted to see was staff who couldnt even raise a smile for the 3hours that we were there. The starters ca.e out sharpish, Took ages to collect after we finished,the main took forever to be served,and again it took ages to collect after we finished,some of our party left before desert,considering that all our food was pre ordered a week prior. Not once did any waiters attend to ask if everything was ok,or do we need this or that. The food was mostly cold. We spent near to £700 To be treated like this,there was no customer service whatsoever. I absolutly will not be going here again and sure neither will the 19 people who attended.

great food and service even for walk in customers

Food was cold! We arrived just after 12 to be told that a chosen meal wasn't available. Food sat in the window for collection for ages, seeing as we were sat in front of the window I was tempted to collect my food myself! Mains didn't all come out at the same time. Everyone's mains were cold. One of our party ordered the T bone steak and it was so cold the blue cheese butter wouldn't melt. Chicken wasn't fully cooked. We won't be back.

Jamie was great and very attentive, great atmosphere.

Disappointed, We had been given a voucher,card, with money on for Christmas, decided to book and go tonight, we where sitting right in front of the kitchen,where the food is put ready for collection, and was left standing for 5 minutes, sometimes before it was collected. When we got our food the chips was warm,i had mushy peas the peas had a crust on the top where they had been out under a lamp,onion ring where warm not hot. we sent it back, I had fish they had put the fish back in the fryer and it came back over cooked. They where very busy. I won't be going back. Very disappointed.

First time at The Milehouse with family who live locally (we are from Carlisle). Meal was good, cocktail and wine delicious but service by Poole was first-class. Made our evening. Sure we will return.

Jamie was our server and was absolutely outstanding, he went above and beyond constantly!! always checked in with us, made us feel welcome and comfy, we came for our anniversary dinner and as a little treat, and he made it well and truly special, we can't thank him enough. For it being his first shift as well, was truly astonishing, Jamie, you have a fantastic work ethic and you will go far!! thank you so much for your dedication to making us feel welcome

Only had a gin and tonic but very lovely decor. Hoping to return for a meal at some point!

Lovely place. Attentive service with great food. Would/will return.

The Milehouse is a true jewel in Newcastle’s crown. The decor, atmosphere, food and staff are fantastic. We took my daughter for mocktails for her 10th birthday and the staff were so wonderful, we were totally blown away! They even wrote a birthday card for her! So grateful to have this eatery near to us. Thank you to all the staff, we’ll see you soon!

Had a lovely birthday meal there with my hubby, food was lovely and the service and the staff were excellent.would have liked a bit of different background music to match the ambience of the place .However that is personal choice

Great service. Average food when I've been.

Celebrated an anniversary here, lovely atmosphere and food was spot on. I couldn’t believe how quickly all three courses came out! Our waitress Bailey was absolutely fabulous, her lovely personality along with her fab hosting skills really contributed to a lovely evening. Thank you all and would definitely recommend!

We celebrated a Golden Wedding Anniversary here, the food, service and decor was absolutely 1st class. The staff were fantastic. We would definitely recommend and will be returning soon.

Amazing place to eat. Outstanding decor, real classy touch to it. Got a free drink on arrival for my girlfriends birthday which was a nice touch. The food is class tho, well presented and great pricing, have to say tho the Teriyaki sauce was the best ive ever had, cant have enough of it. Would highly recommend this place!

Went to The Milehouse today for lunch. The experience as a whole was amazing - this including the food and service. Grace was our server and she was polite and lovely. 100% recommend for a relaxed dining experience.

Very nice food and excellent service

Far from a standard dining out. It started off with some great drinks, and very friendly bar team, but sad to know that was the only good thing about our wrecked anniversary meal. Hence why the 2* Extremely bad service, our host told us about our waiter name etc expecting to get that good customer service, however we only ordered the drinks to her and paid the bills and both were wrong. We never got asked if we want more drinks, if we’ve had a good meal at the end, nobody double checked the table once the food arrived (not just ours but the other 3 tables around us) which is expected in a place like this. Nevermind the food, which everything was far from average, Luke warm food , we've seen it waiting on the pass ages, plus cold chips. We ordered pork belly and the beef, both an average plate of food with a carrot and a broccoli, and the smallest piece of pork. Extremely disappointing to see this place going worse just as the Staffordshire grill went downhill too as it used to be our favourite. Review posted also on Tripadvisor.

Our server Bailey was lovely! Lovely meal, nice decor - we had the Seabass which was cooked beautifully

See they've taken down my daughter's review. We certainly didn't have the same experience as reviews shown. Wondered why the restaurant was so empty at 12.30pm on Sunday lunchtime. When meal arrived it was obvious. Never had raw carrots and brocoli and cold cauliflower for a Sunday lunchtime meal before. Certainly won't be going again.

Visited here for a meal and had a great evening here, the venue is lovely and atmospheric, the food and drinks were amazing, staff were all very friendly and our waitress ‘Bailey’ was brilliant,

Kitchen staff were outside on arrival, one chap with his hands down the back of his trousers. Meal was cold and uncooked. One member of the young kitchen staff was swearing whilst near service hatch and on mobile phone. Hands were used instead of utensils to put food on plates. Was really looking forward to treating my mum but felt awful.

We had a room here for my wife’s birthday and what a perfect experience! Perfect room, perfect food and superb staff! Bailey, Daisy, Alisha and Scarlett went above and beyond to make it a special night and I can’t thank them enough as they were amazing!

We were a party of 26 friends Everyone having starters mains and deserts. Service was excellent Everyone enjoyed the food. All in all it made our party an evening to remember. Thanks to all the staff at the Milehouse in Newcastle under lyme.

Bailey was fantastic. Perfect service and great food! Spot on. Very friendly and attentive. Brilliant service and 5 stars from me and the mrs

First time visiting this place and we had a great experience. We were greeted straightaway by Shane who showed us to our table. He appeared a few moments later with a glass of fizz as he’d been told it was my birthday. He realised we’d ordered alcohols free drinks and immediately asked if I would prefer a mocktail instead. It was delicious! Bailey served us at our table and was extremely professional and polite. The food was fantastic and the two members of staff we met clearly have a passion for customer service! We will absolutely be back again! Thank you.

Amazing food.. the waitress name Bailey went above and beyond beyond!! This is the second time I’ve been served my this waitress ❤️

I visited the Milehouse for lunch today with my husband and 6 year old son. We enjoyed a delicious meal with starters and mains. Thank you Bailey for taking such great care of us. She was very attentive and friendly. :) I would definitely recommend the Milehouse to others. Great ambiance too.

Had a lovely meal with family and friends, service was great. Thank you Bailey! Remembered everyone's drinks and choices and preferences. Food was prepared quickly accurately and was delicious.

I visited the restaurant today (30/07) and was immediately impressed with the ambience of the restaurant and vibrant crowd. I received a warm welcome from the staff and all of them were friendly. The food was excellent, a good portion size, very tasty and arrived at the table promptly. At times the speed of the service was a little slow (I put this down to a few members of staff covering a huge area in sweltering conditions) but Hannah and Alisha who served me delivered a high quality standard of customer service so can't fault them. I would definitely recommend visiting this establishment

I have visited several times and have had lovely food hence the revisit. But the last couple of visits have been less than average I’m afraid . We go out for dinner every weekend and visited yourself on Friday 26th July. The service wasn’t great at all when I asked for what gins or vodka were available she went back and forth instead of just bringing us a drinks menu. So I ended up ordering a cup of tea. I ordered rump steak and it was so chewy, and the chips were burnt . The sauce had no taste to it at all!! My husband sent his back it was inedible. And when he tried to bring your attention to it, you sounded annoyed I always prefer to give you the benefit of rectifying as anybody can have a bad day. So we won’t be revisiting.

First time here a won't be the last 😁we went a table of 4 around 5pm on Friday we did not book , we was greated and seated near the kitchen it was not that busy understandable at that time of day. We was asked about allergies straight away which was good, we got our drinks a food came around 15 min we had 2 belly pork which my friends enjoyed and fish a chips and I had the burger, the burger sauce was delicious a the burger was too. We then had sweets 1 lemon meringue 1 crumble and 1 chocolate fudge cake they went down well. The place is very nice inside and waiting on service was excellent the food prices are on par as most. Thanks for a lovely meal it was my birthday meal a one I fully enjoyed. 😁

Just had drinks there, very nice 👍

Can't fault it, excellent food and service, really enjoyed our meal. Friendly, attentive staff, thanks 🙂

Went for lunch. Nice food, service was a bit slow, but that was okay, and they had a card/drink for the person celebrating their graduation. Can't comment on location as we don't normally go there.

beautiful service, great room, wonderful staff (Bailey and Sophie were incredible). thank u !

Amazing food and a lovely waitress name Bailey tonight… I gave a £10 tip can you make sure it goes to my waitress Bailey ❤️ she went above and beyond x

Service was great. Food was great. Atmosphere was good Bailey was attentive, polite and responded to all our requests. All the staff we encountered were friendly. Thank you Bailey.

Had great meal in private Room. Family loved it. Service was very good.

Popped in for lunch. Lovely lunchtime menu with home cooked food. Starters arrived promptly but the main took some time - not a surprise or a problem given the quality. Great selection of drinks too!

Lovely atmosphere, great service and the food was 👌🏻

second day in england and my mates brought me to milehouse for a scotch egg. egg was good, service was better. Bailey was so sweet that i could put her in my coffee every morning and get diabetes.

Great service from Shane, Daisy and Grace I couldn’t of asked for more, what great staff, I look forward to coming again soon

Fantastic service, happy smiling staff Shane daisy and grace were all happy to help with anything requested

Lovely food and very good service by Bailey and Alisha

Brilliant venue, food always top notch

Had a lovely meal at the Milehouse in Newcastle, amazing customer service from Bailey and Alisha x

They don't seem to be able to cope with a busy period. 7 of us went for Father's Day and overall the food was nice (except for two of the main courses which the people who had them, didn't feel great after eating and the next day). Two of the main courses were brought out incorrectly, it was clear the waitress wasn't really paying full attention when taking the orders. They had to wait but thankfully it wasn't too long (god knows how they got the meals out so quickly!). When we got home we were sorting out the bill as we were splitting the cost, and then realised we'd been overcharged nearly £20. Watch out for the Sunday lunch menu where you're supposed to get a deal on 2/3 courses, they'd charged us as if the meals were not a part of that deal. We rang to query this and they said they only owed us £4...we went away and did the maths ourselves and then realised they owed us quite a bit more than that. On the first phonecall I was wrongly told that the desserts were not included in the Sunday lunch deal...on the second call we were told that they were. Does anybody know what's going on? They went away for the second time to total it up and then realised it was nearly £19 they owed. 5 days later we still haven't received payment. Chased via email for the second time this week and bank details have been taken AGAIN. Sounds like the refund had never been dealt with, so they were obviously hoping we'd forget and move on? Dodgy. Absolutely ridiculous.

Treated ourselves and booked here for a Fathers Day meal on Saturday night. Very disappointing to say the least. Got one of the meals wrong, replacement didnt come until after everyone else had finished eating, and then it was overcooked. Waitresses were asked several times how long the food would be but did not return to confirm which was very frustrating. Two guests ordered the Chicken skewer main but portion was very small. It could have been a starter and not worth the money at all. We were asked at the end if we were happy with our meal and so reluctantly refunded the wrong/late meal when we said no. Doesnt really compensate for our once a year Fathers day meal to be spoilt like this. I must admit i have eaten here twice before and it was lovely but i dont think i will be returning after this experience.

Soup of the day is being illusive

Six of us went here last night for my sons birthday. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing. My son received not only a complimentary drink, but also a birthday card and ice cream. Very happy with Bailey are server and the food was tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Meals were better than last visit but still no air con 🥵 ud think for the money they spent on the place that the air con would be working 😡

Food was top quality! Staff were friendly. Loved the atmosphere!!

Everything is perfect in this restaurant. The cuisine is divine and the meat is tender and tasty. All the food is tasty and well presented. The service from Emilia and Sephi is warm and kind and makes me want to come back.

Worst service ever we went there few months ago. And was horrible so we gave them another chance last week and it was even worst ... barley got order for drink then we wait for being order for food .. and another hour we wait for food. And they wasn't even busy When we got food half of my order was missing ... they even cannot remember what we ordered... definitely won't come back again... they ask for dessert I would have one but I didn't had another hour to wait for one.. so try avoid this place its shame because food wasn't that bad.

Kitchen staff need to aware they are being watched while preparing food, handling food with bare hands then wiping them on your trousers, to then handle more food, is just not good enough. Wife had schnitzel which was so tough you needed a steak knife to get through it, the onion rings still had tough outer skin on them. Shall give this place a miss in future.

I had my birthday meal here on the 12th May. It was a disaster. We were told that the room seated 26 people. There were 24 of us in the party. The large table only seated 22. So two guests had to sit separately. Unacceptable!!. The air con was broken so the room was extremely hot. It was so hot that my beautiful cake collapsed. Then to top it all off they would only allow 3 card payments for the whole party. What a nightmare. I did email a complaint but nobody bothered to reply. I think an apology would have been the least they could do..

Food was shocking , also ordered a bottle Of wine which was warm .

Main meal I didn't enjoy, had gammon didn't enjoy, room was so hot and no windows to open, no air-con was mainly sat round waiting for food, dessert I didn't have in the end as had to get back to the dog as the weather was to hot and sat waiting 2.5 hours, get food quicker with justeat, should have more staff to do desserts, I willnt go again, as food was all pre ordered

Lovely main, however function room was dirty and we have waited 2.5 hours so far and still waiting for desserts all food was pre ordered so no need for such a long delay

Good place for an occasion. The food isn't cheap, but it's good. On my birthday the staff wrote me a card which was a lovely touch.

Nice main meals but desserts are very average. Good service but not enough staff to cope with busy afternoon service.

First time visiting Newcastle Upon Lyme, selected the Milehouse beaded on its reviews and it didn’t disappoint! Service was punctual, fun and polite. Food was excellent, all meals were raved about! Recommend 100% Thank you!

Really nice food! Excellent service from Shane. We came in for my work leaving do, and the guys wrote me out a card and comped me a free glass of bubbly!

During our visit to Stoke-on-Trent we looked for a steakhouse and found it at Mile House. I reserved a table for the following day online. When we arrived at the restaurant we were shown to our table. It was beautifully set and the cards were there. After a few minutes the drink order was taken and the drinks came very quickly. It took a little time for the food to arrive, but it was completely acceptable. When our steaks arrived, we were thrilled. Both the quality and the preparation were very good. Unfortunately the fries were a bit soft and not crispy, but still very tasty. The soup of the day and the dessert were also very good. The service was attentive and very nice the entire evening.

Food was brilliant and really good service

Excellent meal at The Milehouse. The pork was cooked well and service was very attentive.

We hired the private room for my daughters 16th birthday as there were 26 of us. The staff were amazing and the food was exceptional. They even gave my daughter a mocktail and birthday card which was a lovely touch. I will definitely return.

My second visit to this establishment and it will be my last. Mediocre food, slow service, overpriced, nowhere near worth what we paid.

We came for a meal on Wednesday and everything was perfect. Thanks so much to Megan for our cocktails and her wonderful hospitality! Xx

No fillet steak or t bone available , cold garlic bread , re heated chips brown and soggy , chocolate fudge cake you could bounce of a wall , over rated for the price .

Visited today for my 40th for the first time what a lovely place, amazing food top service and what a lovely bunch of staff they made my special day even more better with giving me a birthday card a drink and a dessert much appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work

Beautiful food and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

The food was lovely, the restaurant looks really nice. The service however was shocking. Firstly we had booked a table for 6pm. But wasn't sat until 6:30pm. We work in the industry so understand any delays in tablets being ready. Not a problem we will get a drink at the bar. Slowest service ever. They need someone dedicated to just cocktails which would quicken service on drinks up.. When we were sat the table location was beautiful. But at no point we're we approached by waiting on staff to get some drinks or water for the table. We had pre ordered our meal as we were a larger table. They came to us to ask a couple of questions about the pre order and gone. There was no check back on the food, there was no service. 1 member of our party unfortunately felt ill as the mains were served so she didn't eat her food. When they cleaned the plates we asked if they could wrap it up. Someone came back with tin foil and told us they were not allowed to touch the food. A good night was ruined by lack of service. I wouldn't recommend for any larger tables over 4 them seem to think you don't need to provide a service to them. Really disappointed.

13 of us went for my daughters 17th birthday, when we got there we were told the table wasn't ready and to get a drink in the bar, no problem at all. The table was finally ready at 6.30, booked for 6pm. We were all sat together on one long table and the area was very nice, we were under a tree. We were asked a couple of questions about the food and that is as much service as we had. The staff bought the food out and we were completely forgotten about after that, there was no check back or offer of anymore drinks or water. I didn't feel very well so didn't eat any of my meal but when the plates were being cleared I asked for a take away box. I was told they don't do them and then bought me a roll of tin foil out, he explained I needed to do it myself as they aren't allowed to touch the food. We will not be returning, there was no service and the staff looked like they wanted to be anywhere else but there. Very disappointed and I do not recommend going

We arrived at a very welcoming team. Meals and services are excellent, and all food is cooked fresh and delicious 😋 We went for our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed we had a lovely 3 course meal and a couple of drinks each. We were given a card + a complimentary drink as we were celebrating, which was a lovely surprise and very welcomed. We enjoyed it so much that we returned the following week to celebrate our sisters' special birthday, and other relatives came and enjoyed it and said they would return. We have been several times ourselves, and we have never been disappointed with any meals we've had and will be returning again.

Booked a wake there, room and staff were excellent, so much food, well done. Recommend.

Wonderful food as always, can never fault a thing but the main reason for this review is because Wez who looked after us was absolutely fantastic, the best service I’ve experienced in a long time.

We ordered food and when it came out there was a massive grey hair in my partners food, we told the service team who then told there manager and he wasn't bothered in the slightest and didn't say a thing just grabbed the food and went, wouldn't recommend to anyone

If I could give less than 1 star I would as I had a bitter experience here when I last visited. It was my third time and will be the last. Had a foreign body in my rice (it was actually a chipping off the canned food). The manager had the effrontery to lie that it was from the fork I had used even though the foreign body was buried underneath my rice. He didn’t realise I had taken a picture before calling their attention and the picture was different to what he was going to submit as evidence. He promised I would get a call but Till date no one even called me back to apologise. I know mistakes happen but to cover it with a lie rather than apologise was the height of it for me. Very disappointed and just grateful I hadn’t swallowed the foreign body.

Had a lovely meal with my children

Food was brilliant, service was fantastic! Wesley was our server, he was great, fast and efficient! Deffo come again! Thank you

Absolutely beautiful the meal was delicious so were the cocktails. The staff are so lovely and friendly the best night out we've had for a long time can't wait to go again.
