The Raddle Inn in Staffordshire Moorlands

Food was awful Cold and warm up Waste of time and money Would never return Horrendous Beer was good Need to focus on home cooked food

Found this place by accident- a happy accident!! Visiting Alton Towers but fancied eating in a calmer location. Clean, quiet and quirky! Lovely veggie meals, really quick too. Great price and wonderful staff - was very helpful to a very strict vegetarian!! Would 100% recommend. Thanks for having us!

Booked a table for 8 o'clock but got held up in the LIV golf traffic, phoned to apologise and said we hoped to get there for 9, the young lady on the phone was fantastic, told us not to worry.....we eventually got there about 20 past 9, I apologised again and expected the we'd be lucky to just get a drink but everyone there was brilliant we weren't rushed at all, it was a Sunday and I'm guessing the staff had had a long day but nothing was to much trouble. Food was also great, mine in particular, had the Steak pie. In a World where everyone is in a rush and customer service is a thing of the past it was refreshing to see how fantastic all the staff were, we really appreciated it, thankyou.

Worst Sunday lunch ever! Food rubbish and service even worse, waited almost an hour for processed, tasteless food! Little apology offered. Won’t be returning! Do not recommend.

Welcomed when we arrived shown to table of 7 plus high chair explained rang earlier to confirm we only needed 6 plus high chair message obviously hadn’t been passed on seating was a little awkward! Waitress was prompt with drink and food order food was ok to be honest would be better value if smaller portion along with reduced price as we left quite a bit! Had to wait quite a while for second round of drinks we thought it had been forgotten ! Bill was paid at the bar we then decided to order a couple of white coffees flat white! We then had to wait far too long at which point we thought we’d just leave when they finally arrived waitress asked if we had paid the bill! A little frustrating as it was the same waitress we paid the bill to a few minutes before! Really didn’t feel she wanted to be there! The coffee which arrived was terrible May have just been warm water with white milk on top! Bill for coffees was paid barmaid asked if everything was ok we remarked that the coffee wasnt good to which the response was well it was out of the machine! Such a shame the barmaid didn’t apologise and not charge us even though the bill was around £100! Beautiful setting it some of the manners of the staff leaves a lot to be desired ! The most embarrassing thing about all of this review is that we had brought all of our close family who had not seen each for a few months to somewhere on our recommendation !

There's a narrow single track lane/road off the main road down to this pub, making it a slightly difficult drive at times, but it is worth it once you get there. Food = The Loaded Nachos were superb (well presented, good quantity & very tasty), the Fish & Chips was very good (looked great, crispy & tasty), but the Steak & Ale pies were a real disappointment (watery gravy, cut-up sliced meat & not very tasty). Some plates had very watery Cabbage and the Veg + Chips did seem a little 'Piled-Up High' = Quantity doesn't always = Quality. Drinks = Great selection of draft/bottled beers, quality spirits & nice mixers. BUT...! check that your coffee is HOT (not tepid) before staff disappear.

Absolutely amazing and the food was spot on! Staff was lovely! The girl behind the bar was rushed off her feet and was still lovely and I asked her name was Evie! You all work so hard! All staff was smiling! Lovely park for the kids too so lovely for everyone 😊 highly recommended 😀

My husband and I went for Sunday lunch, the food we ordered came out immediately ( not a good sign) . My glass was dirty and smelly, on looking round we realised the entire place needed a thorough cleaning both inside and out. The location is stunning and great for children but needs cleaning from top to bottom. We won’t be going back unfortunately.

Spent the weekend in the log cabins with family this weekend. Visited the restaurant and bar a number of times during our stay and I am so happy. Location is beautiful, food was perfect and the staff were absolutely amazing! The children loved the outdoor play area and there are a number of tables outside to sit to keep an eye on them. A warm and friends restaurant, I can't wait to come back to visit. I'd like to give a shout out to Evie, she was super friendly, always stopped for a chat and nothing was to much for her. She was brilliant.

Fantastic meal at The Raddle Inn. We were staying at the nearby Quarry Walk Park, drive up to the Raddle Inn which took about 5-6 mins. You can also walk but it was drizzling so we didn't fancy it. A really lovely place, proper old school pub feel inside. Service was excellent, little buzzer to call your server... what a great idea! How do more places not have that?! Food was delicious, with generous portions sizes and served fast. Well priced at £54 for a two course meal with drinks for two. We'll be back again!

Came here on a saturday afternoon busy but not full we got a table straight away as always the staff are lovely and friendly ,but the smell of the restaurant wow just hit you in your face(fish)ive worked in local chipshop and its never smelt that bad we was seated at the side of the bar by the window ,we sat looking at the menu and was very shocked at the prices and couldnt believe how much they had gone up,i work at alton towers and i always recommended here for meals but since my visit i dont unfortunatly anymore the place is very dated and dirty and gone way over priced its a shame really but i suppose money comes over anything these Days .

Worst experience I have had in a very long time, atmosphere on entry was so dead, no warm welcome from host either , ordered steak medium rare - came well done - returned it - came back just medium - no one checked if it was ok the second time ! There was no flavour to anything ! ordered a Stilton sauce that was congealed with grease floating on top and had mushrooms in ? ,, when host cleared she asked if all was ok I said no and explained the issues - she just said sorry. Went to bar to pay - was asked if all was ok , I said no but got no reply or comment - awful customer service would avoid the place at all costs.

We’ve been coming here for years. Whilst the settings and feel is always country like with an open wood fire and decent atmosphere. The food has really took a dive over the last 18 months . We Visited yesterday, the steak pie was horrible, overcooked and had black burnt pasty and rock hard. I showed this the waiter who took my food away. He came back and said all he could do was offer me another or a free desert. Didn’t want another thank you. I opted for a free desert which I’d rather of paid for and received a refund for my meal. Paid £12.95 for gravy chips and veg as the pie was left on the plate. Apparently the chef is going to do it different next time… what not burn the food. We won’t be retuning. A real shame because use to love the place just not the food anymore.

Went today on Father’s Day and was really disappointed with the two of the meals we had , the two cottage pie meals consisted of a runny type gravy with meat in and a hard tasteless dollop of potato on top , tbh it looked like beef soup because nothing was holding it together, the chips were of poor quality and cold , carrots and peas were nice but cabbage rock hard , I wouldn’t recommend the cottage pie meal for £12.95 as no way value for money

We stayed in two log cabins over the weekend for my daughters Hen Do. The accommodation was good and the beds comfy. We went for a meal on the Friday in one of the pods and that was brilliant. We also ate in the restaurant on Saturday, this was a last minute booking but the manager soon found us a table and was very accommodating. The manager did everything he could to make sure my daughters weekend went well and he provided excellent service. The staff were all friendly and the food was excellent I would highly recommend visiting here and was ideally situated to visit Alton Towers.

We stayed here for my hen do and was a fantastic weekend away! The staff - especially the manager was friendly, accommodating and helpful! The food was delicious, homemade chips were so fantastic! Would highly recommend staying here and having a meal at the restaurant! Thank you all!

Stayed here in a cabin for 1 night whilst visiting Alton Towers. Arrived at 18.30 and checked in with ease at the bar then moved the car to park next to the lodge. Lodge itself was clean and well kept, main bed was comfy but the pillows were a little soft (personal preference). Had a delicious meal in the pub, food was tasty and plentiful, the staff were really helpful and we liked the use of the call button to get the waitresses attention. Would stay here again.

We came here twice for evening meal whilst staying in a lodge nearby. We decided to try here as we saw it had an outside play area. It also had a bouncy castle on the field across the road so our little boy loved it. The food was served really quickly which is always a plus with little kids. The food was a little bland however we decided to return just for the fast service and kids play areas, plus there were about 4/5 options for vegetarians. Prices are reasonable. The inside of the Inn needs some modernisation but it didn’t matter to us as we sat outside. They have an app to order on but upon trying to use it , not all of the table numbers were loaded on the app so had to go to the bar to order in the end. Would come here again if we were to stay in the area in the future. The bouncy castle is a great touch.

Visited recently for lunch with 4 others.All opted for the pensioners special which appeared to offer good value. I find it very difficult to review without upsetting some members of staff but recent reviews reflect that some improvements need to be made. Three of our party opted for the garlic mushrooms in breadcrumbs which were well presented with salad and garlic sauce.They could not be cut with the knives provided and without thinking we all chose to eat them with our fingers and dip them in the sauce..The main course was fish in some kind of horrible looking overdone batter.OK it didnt say beer battered fish but this was poor and I would have returned it on another day if we werent out with friends.The gammon was also overdone and dried. Someone must be able to cook in the kitchen because the chips were fabulous and the steak pie was also good. Despite all this the staff were friendly and did their best and this is why I have given it 3 stars after some thought..

Huge portions... had the steak pie which was bursting with meat and gravy. Absolute top notch. And proper homemade chips to boot. Highly recommend. We booked one of the pods which was pretty cool. A nice play area for the kid as well. An all round great family pub/restaurant. Staff were very polite.

Visited the pub twice while on holiday. First time got a table on the field which is great for the views. Nice tables, app works really well and service was very quick which exactly what we wanted. Reasonable prices and chips and some other bits clearly home made so thumbs up. Could happily sit drinking here all day.Second time we booked for final meal of holiday and booked a pod. Tbh this was a waste of time and money so do not recommend to anyone. Ours was wobbly, hot, and not very spacious. Food was again quick but couple of the meals bland (cannot recommend the curry), however pies and roast chicken wonderful. Service a little bit slower this time; and ignored some minor requests but overall still good. So can defo recommend for basic food,served quick in great surroundings.Fuzzy Bear is happy enough

Lovely family meal. Service was brilliant and very quick. We sat outside and used the new app. Staff came across polite and friendly and happy to help. My children really enjoyed playing on the bouncy castle. Thanks for a lovely afternoon

Would not return, booked for a meal here with another family (7meals altogether) and 3 of those were inedible. Uncooked pastry on pie and tough roasties and solid beef on a roast. Service was terrible too, our meals were left on the table for around 5 mins before we got any cutlery so by the time we went to eat the food, it was Luke warm at best. This was despite asking at least 2 people to bring us knives and forks. In the end I sourced some from another table. The waitress had no idea which beers or lager the bar served and no interest in finding out and at the end of the meal we said we weren’t happy with the food when asked and all the waitress said was “sorry about that”. Altogether possibly one of the worst dining experiences I have had.

We were a family of 11 away for the weekend to visit Alton Towers. We called and booked 2 pods as we had a family member with an underlying health problem and a young child. They booked us in for 6pm as that was the earliest time they had. We arrived to be shown to 2 pub garden benches in front of a bouncy castle . This was not what we had booked. We were told pods were un available so I requested to speak with a manager. Not only did the manager approach but he also brought the person who took the booking . Firstly they tried to claim that I had In fact not requested a pod which was utter rubbish. I stated that if I wanted to sit out in the open I would have come for an early dinner in the sunshine but I didn’t which is why we booked.The manager agreed to one pod and one table outside which was not ideal but the rest of the family said it was fine. We ordered starters and mains. I ordered for my little girl onion rings and a bread roll, this took 25 minutes and me asking 3 separate times for the food even though we had told the attendant it was a starter. Our sharer platter came out and the chicken wings were not cooked , we told the attendant who took it away. What I was shocked about was the fact that all they did was re heat the wings and put back on the same plate. As you can imagine I did not eat them. We had a garlic bread come out without cheese so that was taken back... cheese was added and it was clearly put in a microwave as it was oily and soggy. As a group we ordered nachos as a starter also , this arrived 30 mins after our order. We then move onto the mains. We ordered a broccoli pasta bake that was literally 10 pieces of pasta in a watery cheese sauce , not a bake at all. We also ordered a cod with no chips but with salad due to an allergy. The plate arrived with chips , we removed them. When the fish was cut open it had a grey sticking gloop inside. The fish was cold and inedible but at no point did anyone check in with us so this family member did not eat anything other than 3 lettuce leaves. After everyone finished dinner my father in law went for the bill and the person who had the cod went to the bar to explain that she wouldn’t pay for the cod. The waitress took the plate. What the employees didn’t realise is that our sister in law and mother in law was in the toilet next to the kitchen. The staff were describing my sister in law a fat Londoner , aggressive and angry. She was far from any of that. You are the ones that from start to finish got things wrong. I am absolutely disgusted with the behaviour of the employees at this establishment. The food was disgraceful and if you have more the 1 star hygiene rating I would be shocked.The worst customer service I have ever come across and I would warn anyone that is thinking of eating there , unless you like food poisoning ??? I would highly recommend that the management team re coach all employees around manners and the fact that speaking badly about customers is not acceptable

Stayed here for two nights while visiting Alton Towers. Great place with views over the countryside and lovely pub food on the doorstep, along with big field and bouncy castle for children to play in. Accommodation nice and clean, staff helpful and friendly. Brilliant value, would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed in the Rock Cottage, which I have to say was wonderful. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. We used the pub for Tea, and the food was beautiful, we had booked in for breakfast the next morning, and it has to be one of the best breakfasts I've had. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Booked a log cabin with hot tub for my boyfriends birthday the cabin was fine although heating playing up and it was boiling hot throughout, the radiator didn’t seem to work so we ended up having to switch off the boiler and leave windows and doors open and was too late to contact anyone. There was a lack of information who to contact and how to work the hot tub etc but the cabin itself was nice and was clean and comfortable, although hot tub was not private as the beer garden for the pub is in full view and anyone walking past or in cabins next door could see you.I decided to book a pod as a different dining experience and was interesting....although staff did accommodate our late arrival as I phoned informing them we were delayed. The pod itself moved and wobbled and once it went dark it was too dark to see your food we had to ask for a lamp and was brought this big, ugly, tacky, falling to pieces huge indoor table lamp which wasn’t pleasant around our food. The waitress couldn’t carry anything properly dropping and spilling things and pretty much threw our plates on the table. The food was awful to be honest and neither of us really ate much was like all microwaved, flavourless, cheap food. So was very disappointed as it was supposed to be a lovely meal for my boyfriends birthday. It’s a real shame as the place is very nice and the views stunning but more effort definitely needs to go into the food and service.

Fabulous food and service. Waitress took food and drink orders so we didn’t have to walk around the pub. Food came extremely quick after ordering and was piping hot. Huge portions aswell. Full tummies all around. Can’t wait for a return visit. Thanks for a great visit.

Arrived to our table, with dirty plates on that looked as if they had been there a while. Poor service and food was not great. I don’t expect to have TINNED PEAS on on my plate and the chicken Kiev was like a rock! Complained twice and it was if the blame was being just passed onto different waitresses. Once we finally got a refund for one the meals, no one seem very apologetic. The decking outside looked dirty and hadn’t been swept as well as bits of cutlery and sachets salt and vinegar everywhere.

My family and I spent two nights here for a trip to Alton towers. The log cabin was lovely , clean and well equipped. The food was amazing, huge portions you definitely could not go hungry here. All staff where very nice and polite.

First time out was a bit apprehensive with just coming out of lockdown but the atmosphere was relaxed and organised and the food was great and quick would recommend to all family and friends

Steak pie, chips & veg ordered by both of us. Big portion sizes. Beef very tender, chips the best l have tasted. Value for money. You won't be disappointed with any of the meals served at The Raddle Inn.

Came with a newborn and they put us right next to back door were it was freezing. But food was nice and fast service. Would come again but in summer

Beautiful place and location. Homemade food with big portions. Highly recommend, friendly staff. The cherry on the cake for our weekend away in alton. 👍

We haven’t been to this restaurant before and it won’t be our only time. We felt a tad nervy as we felt like outsiders but once seated we found the choice of meals to be vast . My husband ordered from the bar and we were served very promptly, the food was delicious and well recommend a visit.

Myself & my partner have been a couple of times for a drink and once stayed and had a meal which was cooked lovely, we both fully enjoyed. Staff nice.

My family have been going to The Raddle for many many years and have attended several functions there. The views are amazing and in lovely weather, you couldn’t be at a better pub. The ales are of good consistent quality and I can honestly say we’ve never had a poor meal. I’ve read negative reviews about the food, but this is not our extensive experience. The food is homemade including the chips, which seems to be a rarity these days. I’m vegetarian and there’s always a delicious meal delivered! The meat eaters in our family are always happy too. I have to be honest and say that the whole place could be cleaner and brighter. Don’t think it’s been decorated in years, so this would be so beneficial. I think regulars accept this (wrongly so), but for holiday makers and new visitors, it could put them off. As I walked past the kitchen to the toilets, I thought it looked chaotic and in need of a wipe down/sweep, but then the consistent 5 stars for food hygiene can’t be argued!

My wife and I visited this country pub whilst on our stay in Freehay at a log cabin. The pub was 2 mins from our site down some very narrow country lanes.The pub it’s self is a typical country pub located all on its own in a beautiful setting. The pub is quite big but feels small inside, this is expect from w old country pub. Plenty of palaces to sit and eat though.Kathy ordered the steak and I had the mixed grill. Both cake very quickly which makes you wonder at the freshness of the food but rates good non the less. Well worth a visit if your looking for a meal that you don’t have to cook your self.Lovely place.

We chose to eat here because of the view and the pods. The menu selection is varied and expansive. The price would be good value for money if the food was edible. Sadly it was not. Overdone salmon which we queried at the time. We were offered an alternative but by this time we were put off. Ham and beef salad was tough and the potatoes were like bowling balls and equally as hard. Young inexperienced staff. Complain to the manager at your own risk ...!!

Brilliant value for money and always friendly helpful staff, particularly for elderly and disabled friends. Always something we like on the menu.

We chose to visit this lovely venue, pleasant serving staff but the Roast Lamb was diabolical, tough and inedible. We asked for a refund but was told to have something else . However, another of our party had returned a crusty salmon meal. We didn't have faith in the food anymore. In defence of the terrible state of the lamb the staff advised that they would notify their butcher. I'm sure the butcher would say "we're not responsible for poor cooking technique."

Had a table of 11 booked in for 7.30pm last night. We arrived at 7.25pm and was told that our table had customers on it at the moment and so we would have to wait. Around 8pm I went and asked again to be told by the waiter that the customers on our table had just sat there as they forgot to put a reserve sign on our table. At around 8.30pm we sat down.

Stayed here for 3 nights breakfast incl, breakfast was great every morning, big portions and tasty food. We also had tea there one night, chicken burger and chips and Thai green curry, plenty of selection on the menu and great tasting food. Must mention the lovely lady with short dark hair serving us breakfast in the morning, didn’t catch her name but a credit to the place, most of the staff were lovely!

The main area of the main building is nice with the bar and fire places. Nice and cosy especially in winter. We go to the raddle a few times a month. The rest of the inside areas could do with some tlc. If you can get past the decor though, the food has always been really good. Nice home made food and really good portion sizes at a reasonable price. Like I say, we go a few times a month either just as a couple or as part of a larger party less often and have never had a bad meal or bad service yet.

Been a few times had lovely meals - went today and my son and his husband came with us as we told them how nice it was - starters were tasty prawn cocktail - 2 pea and ham soups - garlic mushrooms - the plates were being taken away by one waitress and our main meals were coming out with another ( a bit quick) one Sunday dinner - 2 steak pies (pastry that hard the knife wouldn’t go through it) and Half a chicken with chips the chicken skin was covered in feathers the chicken itself was bone dry - the only dinner finished was the Sunday dinner - when the waitress Came to take the plates away she asked if everything was ok when I said the pastry was to hard to eat on the pie the reply was sorry about that then she walked away - 30 Mins later after trying to get somebody’s attention we finally order desserts - one crumble - 2 rolo cheesecakes - one coffee - my hubby said the crumble was ok - the rolo cheesecakes were bog standard cheesecakes in a small glass bowl and one rolo stuck on the top drizzled in chocolate sauce that’s the rolo cheesecake - the cheesecake itself had no vanilla in it just cheese it was dire don’t think we will be back sometime soon - the main meals must have been plated up and microwaved

Service food log cabins hot tubs staff second to none great value friendly nothing is to much All the staff make you welcome from the start of your vacation to the end Food is outstanding fresh produce sourced locally Caters for groups and families

Visited here a couple of times while staying at the Quarry Bank lodges nearby. Good selection of beers and beautiful views of the countryside in the beer garden. The menu has a good choice of meals at reasonable prices. I am not exaggerating when I say you get LOADS on your plate. Go there when you’re absolutely famished and you won’t be disappointed. I had the steak and the lasagne, while my other half had scampi. All three meals were lovely.

Great food had here on a very very busy bank holiday. All staff friendly and helpful and really working hard. Good stuff!!

Shame. Visited here several times before, but not since 2010. The food was always decent home cooked style and never had any complaints. Beer was always okay.

Overall i would say this was a ‘okay’ experience, firstly i must say the cottage was very nice and cosy however it could use a deep clean, the bathroom especially, i was particularly looking forward to the hot tub however the amount of flies around it is ridiculous and really ruined the experience, i understand it is the countryside but i feel something could be done about this to improve a better experience for future visitors, the same goes for the raddle inn itself again full of flies when trying to eat your meal especially when they are landing on your food and i could hear other guests complaining about the same issue around us. The staff are very friendly and approachable.

Just returned from a fantastic weekend here with friends. Ordered a breakfast Saturday morning which was amazing, then an evening meal Saturday evening. Enjoyed it and will be back soon.

I usually visit Raddle Inn about two times a month. This Monday me and my partner went and ordered our usual meal at 5:28 and I niped to the loo and by 5:32 our food was on the table steaming hot. This obviously has been pre cooked and microwaved as there is no chance you could cook a chicken curry and burger is this time. I am really disappointed and didn’t enjoy my meal but did not want to put my partner off his but when we left he said the same thing.

My Husband and I were looking forward to eating out, went to the Raddle

I love the food at The Raddle and highly recommend the steak pie however I am super put off from returning as the place is just getting FILTHY.

Lovely place to have evening meal not to far from where we were staying nice place to meet family and friends

On Sunday the 1st October myself my husband and two friends went for Sunday lunch the pub is on a lovely location you can see countryside all round and you see the weaver hills in the distance it has log cabins for you to stop if you desire . We had reserved our table it was a good thing it was very busy. The waitress was very helpful and when we ordered the food was very quick in coming out . The food was very good the choice was ample and it was delicious and very fairly priced.... well worth the money . WELL worth a visit

Just returned from a relatives birthday party here, the food portion was decent, mediocre at best, but was hot and edible.

We went to the raddle for Sunday lunch. We had not been for a number of years and we pleasently surprised. On the outside were two pods that you can reserve to either eat meals or just drink in for a small charge. We had our meal inside . The interior is older worlde appearance and comfortable. The staff friendly and efficient, the service good and the food home cooked . We had the roast dinner that came played with fresh veg and loads of good quality meat

Lovely scenic location and dog friendly to a point.

Fuimos a comer el domingo la mesa estaba reservado para la mitad de los doce. Personal la llegada era muy amable y atento que nos dirigió a nuestra mesa (interior) después de un largo vistazo al menú extenso, nos decidimos por una ensalada de pavo con patatas fritas, ensalada de queso con patatas fritas y un gigante lleno de patatas fritas salchichas Yorkshire y verduras. La orden llegó a los diez minutos estaba muy bien presentado, y más importante, muy sabroso. Sin duda recomiendo las patatas fritas caseras real! Los budines eran también buenos (peach Melba y tarta de manzana). Una buena relación calidad-precio pub rural.

Tuvimos un tiempo estupendo, el personal es genial. el propietario se hace avilible para servir y ayudar bruja siempre me pareció buen plan de negocios. Las cabañas son siempre muy limpio y la comida es muy buena, muy tranquilo entorno debe ver o para comida

Stumbled across this place whilst out for a drive.Ordered meals and all I can say is We Will Be Back !,The starter, prawn cocktail, was huge compared to others we have been served.Our mains, steaks, were lovely. I hesitate to say that, maybe, there was too much on the plate. We would need to be seriously hungry to eat such an amount of food, excellently cooked as it was.Certainly no room for dessert !.With great outdoor space, and it looks like accommodation, all weather pods , play areas for the kids, plenty of parking, stunning views, not much more you could want for really.The roads are a little narrow in places but it was, for us, worth the trip.

Roaring fire all year round, good food (portions are huge). Good range of beer, nice local walks, Nice new refurbished beer garden overlooking Croxden Abbey and rolling hills towards Alton.

We had booked a table for 7:30pm, on arrival we where told which table number to go it took us 5 minutes to find as it was our first time.the table looked like someone was still sitting as they was drinks and plates still on it. I spoke to the bar man and he said someone will be over in a minute to mover the pots.we sit down and waited 10 minutes later I want back to the bar and spoke to someone else and they come over and moved the pots and rest the table.Ordered our food at the and was told wait for food would be about 30 minutes.Will a hour later we where still wanting for our burgers,I asked at the bar how long our burgers would be,I was told to go and sit down and they would find out,10 minutes later our burgers come out. The burgers where black and hard,they looked like they have been cooked a few hours ago and reheated

Dirty. handles falling of the bathroom door bed springs sticking in your back wardrobe door missing I would not bother

We stayed in the log cabin for 1 night, the pub and the food was fantastic! Could not go wrong with the portion size of the food or the taste as it was amazing, I did read a review about the ph water level in the hot tub which made me nervous and for good reason as I did leave with an infection from the hot tubs and had to have tablets to get rid from the doctor and nurse who confirmed it was the hot tub as my whole body was itching as soon as I came out, it is a lovely place, maybe log cabins need some tlc but great views just let down with catching the infection.

We were staying at the Raddle for a Stag weekend and had a fantastic time. A group of mixed ages, we were made very welcome by the friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. Good beer, excellent food and very comfortable accommodation made this a great base for the weekend. And the views...wow! Spending early morning in the hot tub under a gorgeous sunrise while overlooking the mist pocketed valley. Magic! Definitely be back when possible.

Went to this Inn for the first time recently. I have to say that I was very impressed. There were 14 of us. The food arrived about 10 minutes after we had ordered, all at the same time.The food was so good and plenty of it and I was very pleased that the menu was very well priced. The staff were very polite and friendly and accommodated our needs. Should you visit this place, absolutely. you won't be disappointed.

Every year a group of middle aged women meet up somewhere to get together and catch up x laughter,tears you name it goes on but it's the most favourite time in my year x This year we stayed in the Raddle Inn log cabins and ate in the pub x

Dated restaurant, not very clean. Menu seemed impressive until our meal arrived at the table.There were six chicken curries on the menu, Red and Green Thai curry, Tikka masala,Chicken Balti Korma or Jalfrezi.I ordered the Red Thai but it looked and tasted like a Tikka Masala that came with a naan bread. I asked the staff about my concerns and I was told it was a Thai curry but I know the difference between the two curries. The other guest ordered a Steak Pie chips and veg , but it came minus the chips when we asked the staff they said there was no more room on the plate for the chips.This was true but the pastry was awful and didn't get eaten.Poor evening throughout we wont be going back again.

Booked a weekend away with friends, lovely place, easy to get too, does need updating, few things could be better, but over all a nice weekend

We booked a log cabin with hot tub at The Raddle Inn for the weekend to celebrate a special birthday. Received a warm welcome on arrival & enjoyed a relaxing drink by the log fire in the pub before being shown to the cabin. The accommodation was warm, clean & very well equipped. We'd previously booked a meal in the Raddle Inn for our first night- the meals were reasonably priced, food excellent and service very good. The hot tub was a real bonus & was enjoyed by us all. It was great for us to be able to relax in it when we returned on Saturday night from a day spent at Alton Towers. All in all a very happy & memorable family weekend. Would love to do it again sometime - & wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend the Raddle Inn to others. Thanks to all at The Raddle, Karen Taylor & family.

I have visited the Raddle Inn many times,mostly after numerous visits to Alton Towers which is nearby or from drives out in the countryside. The pub itself is charming and set in lovely surrounding countryside. I have had some nice meals here but just lately the service and food quality has gone down hill. I recently had the steak pie which was recomommeded to me by a friend, but I found it to be very bland with about one piece of meat and extremely greasy chips. But what really lets down the pub is that when you step inside this yocal pub is that people look at you with suspicion as if you aren't from the immediate area,as though we are aliens. Thank goodness the very un lady like 'chef' is not customer facing as she often scuttles into the bar like a mouse, eyes the punters and then you can hear her swearing to the staff or moaning if we order near the closing time- not welcoming at all! All in all this used to be a nice pub, but I feel it's getting tired and old and needs a good revamp. Il be back again in the summer to enjoy the views and have a drink, but other than that il avoid and go to a more welcoming pub with better food.

We enjoyed a three course meal at this lovely country pub!Excellent food and service! We chose from the three course senior citizen menu available from 12-2 at only £8.00 per person! The portions were huge and with plenty choices there is something for everyone! I recommend this pub to everyone if you are looking for good food and great value! Next time we are visiting our friends a meal here will definitely be a must!

The welcome was very warm and welcoming, service is friendly and the food is great, with plenty of it. If you enjoy a country pub with good wholesome food and a huge range of choice from the menu, including vegetarian for those that are, then this is a great place to visit.

Love this place excellent food and service in beautiful surroundings. We first visited last year while staying in the area we loved the home cooked fresh food at very reasonable prices. So when we were in the are for the night we visited twice and were not disappointed. We left our little boys bag under the table and didn't realise until we had left. A quick phone call later and our bag was located and put to one side. If you are in the area this place really is a hidden gem and nothing else comes close in Leicester.

First and last time for me. Food was shocking, chips similar to chip shop chips at the end of a night with an added funny taste. Chicken tasted weird, probably the taste of whatever was cooked on grill before it. Will not recommended eating out here to anyone.

A warm welcome when we first arrived! Multiple families stayed at the Raddle Inn for a recent trip to Alton Towers! This was the ideal place to stay on our recent visit to Alton Towers. Service with a smile at the local pub, food was good quality, typical pub food menu which was all cooked very well. Lovely local feel about the place and we would all stay again. We would like to mention Sarah who always gave us a warm welcome and could not do enough for us all. Thanks to Sarah and Paul.

Great food great prices would totally recommend I will be back again and again all good choices all good menus

The chips with our meals were just like my nan used to cook them lovely, staff friendly added bonus of bouncy castle and little play area for kidsWe couldn't finish our food but that was due to over doing it with the chips as they were so nice!!Recommend

visited during a Wednesday lunchtime no prior arrangement and found we had discovered a very welcoming pub had a wide choice menu and three of us tried a different choice all were delicious really large portions of home cooked food and puds to die for we will definitely be returning the view is amazing The only disappointment is the road is too narrow for the coach size I need to take the group I belong to for us all to enjoy it

Iv been coming here for some years now. However just recently Iv been quite disappointed with the food. If it's not busy then you can normally guarantee great home made food. Go on a busy day like Iv been today & it's just shoved in the microwave & chewy.It's going to be a while before I visit again. I'll keep my eyes peeled to the trip advisor.

First time ever been out with daughter on our own and she chose here. OMG. Never again. Scampi just edible, baked beans were cremated in the microwave and chips were ok but looked undercooked and tasted weird. Daughter couldn't even eat her pie because of the strange tasting gravy. The waitress asked if everything was ok whilst taking plates and when I told her about the beans and why my daughter hadn't eaten anything, SHE LAUGHED! Told the manager not impressed. Won't go again & won't recommend to anyone.

Lovely atmosphere when my walking group stopped there for lunch break. Chips were lovely and meals there previously have been great.

Came here after staying at Alton towers for the weekend. Came down on the Wednesday night and can honestly say this was the best food I have ever had. I had the risotto with chips and a salad and my boyfriend had the chicken. Both of us said how amazing the food was and how good portion sizes you get for such a good price. Contemplating traveling to go there again as the food was so nice, definitely recommend for a nice little pub meal. Best food I've had for a while.

If this is the one near Alton then it's the worst pub food I've ever had and way over priced! Service was poor too and the whole place has a dirty feel to it! Only good thing is the views.

If you want good home made cooking this is the place. Generous portions and fresh veg. Enjoy the amazing views while u enjoy ur dinner

Cant fault this lovely little gem. Beautiful views great food and really really friendly staff. Love everything about this place.

I went there in a party of 4 people for Sunday Lunch. I was a bit concerned as I can be hard to please if I do not get what I order and expect. I was very surprised and delighted with the food on offer. There is a comprehensive menu with different meat dishes, pasta, fish, catering for all requirements. I ordered pate with English Lamb as the main course and half expected the thin pre-packed stuff which can be served. Well PROPER Lamb was served along with traditional vegetables, lovely gravy in a boat so your meal was not drowned. The vegetables were cooked just right and were not soggy, the lamb was just too much - my dog enjoyed that which I could not eat, and it was delicious. The rest of the party had sea food to start followed by chilli, fish and pasta. They all enjoyed their food too. They were too full for dessert so I had ice cream and this was huge. ( It does slip down into the gaps in your tummy after all) With drinks and coffee it worked out at about £18.00 per head which was exceptionally good value. Cannot rate this highly enough, so please go and try it. As a footnote, the staff were excellent too.
