The Winding Wheel in Cannock Chase

Disappointed to be told that Blue Light Discount is now only honoured Mon-Thurs at the Winding Wheel Cannock, whereas it used to be accepted there 7 days a week. A shame that NHS and emergency services staff are no longer valued by Marstons as much as they used to be!

Our local pub. Great choice of food and good value. Food served fresh and hot every time. Excellent choice of drinks on draught. Gemma and the team are always friendly and welcoming. The pub is always clean and tidy. We visit most weeks.

Myself and my husband came in for food and drinks: the bar staff were amazing! So polite and welcoming. The food was delicious and given I’m gluten intolerant my meal was equally delicious. The bar is clean and the whole experience was well worth the visit. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.

Nice outdoor seating with my family and pleasant We just had a quick drink after a lil walk there

Food lovely and red hot,and service was quick , lovely staff

Went for a meal with my folks and my uncle on Tues. Mum, Dad and Uncle had Hunter's chicken which they all thoroughly enjoyed. I had a surf & turf and My steak was cooked perfectly medium. Food arrived promptly within a pint time👍 Lady who served us was really friendly. We will defo be coming back 👍

Nice drink lovely staff ,returning for food next time

After seeing a lot of positive reviews for this pub, we called in for lunch while on business in Cannock. It was a hot day and the aircon was welcome – until we sat down, when we were frozen by the chilled air from the overhead vents. Moved tables twice, to different parts of the pub, but no different. Not sure what temperature they had it set to, but it was uncomfortably cold and chilled our food too. Although there were only a handful of people in the pub when we arrived, it took more than 25 minutes for our “lunch deal” meal to arrive. The food was average, not necessarily the fault of the pub’s cook but more the cheap quality ingredients that Marstons routinely use. Staff were friendly but given what our bill came to, just for a lunch deal, we can get a full sized meal for the same price elsewhere, so would probably only go back if we happened to be in the area, wouldn’t make a special journey.

Great food. Car park was a mission to find. Very busy but staff accommodating. Dog friendly

Lovely little local pub. Just popped here for lunch and Gemma was amazing as always, nothing is ever too much trouble. Food was hot and tasty and left feeling happy. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again ☺️

Had my daughter's 18th birthday party here and WOW! Craig and Gemma were amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better venue and a perfect night

Just popped in for a drink, didn't buy food. Place was ok.

Great place to go after work and get some good food. Really enjoyed it yesterday. Me and the Mrs both had a mix grill and it was banging.

My favourite pub in the whole wide world.

Had a lovely time there today with me elderly mom and dad. The guys behind the bar were ever so helpful and accommodating and the food was delicious.

Lovely place, went with elderly family today. Very friendly and great food.

Great pub. Best in the area. Prices are actually decent and it's got a nice atmosphere. Lively but not too lively and no annoying idiots.

Such a great Family friendly pub, go here often and Gem always makes us feel welcome and the kids always have a great time. Especially when they are winning the Easter egg hunt 😂

Went to The Wheel on the weekend, and it's a total gem! The atmosphere is great, and the staff are really friendly. They've got a great selection of drinks, and the food is delicious. Definitely worth a visit. I'll be back again soon for sure

Love this pub my local food is spot on and plenty of choice staff and Gemma and Craig. 5 stars all the time

Great Pub. Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

This is by far the most friendly and inviting pub in the local area. And I’ve been to them all. Gemma and Craig behind the bar are absolutely lovely (100% of the time) and have an amazing dress sense. The beer tastes peng and so do the birds. My favourite watering hole in the whoooooole world.

Great local pub with a great atmosphere, really good food, great service and best Guinness in the area 5 star boozer

Standing at 6’1 and 1/2 (dispite what he tells you) Jacob Lowbridge is coming off a hot streak of nights at the wheel averaging a whole 78.4 glasses collected per shift he is the leader in the league but not only in this stat but also in pints of guinness poured per shift at a whopping 34.9. With his long frame he is able to stretch the floor and identify empty glasses from the other side of the playing field something which simply can not be taught. All this natural talent is combined with his unreal engine to sustain such intensity over the entire 90 which allows him to achieve such impressive stat lines. A big move for the young buck is on the horizon soon enough a bigger player such as wetherspoons will snap him up and give him the chance to prove himself on the biggest stage of them all. Keep a luck out for this future star as he could be responsible for finally bringing it home again in the dishwasher filling finals. Also a shout out to Jess who puts in a great effort and has an unreal engine but can’t quite deliver the same numbers as the LOWBRIDGE.

This lad called Jacob is a absolute sensation , it’s a joy to watch him at work he’s like a wizard of the glass collecting game . Proper lad and see a big future in the game for him .

Great Pub and Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Great sports bar,still family and pet oriented. Love the service and food! Would recommend to anyone!!!!

Brilliant night for Macs 60th suprise party. Great people, great atmosphere. Great Pub! ✌️

Excellent venue great food and staff

New menu and tried the kebab which was excellent and very filling. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is great. Will be coming back

Nice local pub with a good atmosphere

We came for the new year's eve disco and buffet. We are regulars at the pub, go in fairly often and this is our third NYE at the Wheel. The bar staff are a true credit to the business, particularly Rachel and Ellie. They work so hard with a genuine smile on their faces and as a former publican myself, if you get the staff right then you've won. Very little waiting at the bar and the drinks were accurate all night. The buffet was brilliant! A lovely mixture of hot and cold food and great quality, thank you. Now to the problem, the DJ is poor and was even worse than last year. I appreciate that you can't keep everyone happy but he didn't really get started until 10ish, played a random selection of all sorts and ignored pretty much all of our requests! Perhaps this is part of the charm and it won't stop me going again because the pub and the staff are great. Thank you!

Enjoyed a Christmas Fayre with family over the weekend. Food was tasty, hot and plenty of it . Can't fault any of the staff, they were more than happy to accomadate all of our requests.

Went here for lunch. Pre ordered food was ready very shortly after arriving. Food was a good price, food was good and service was great. Would recommend.

Lovely family xmas night with brilliant festive menu, food was fantastic. Very much a family friendly pub and really nice and helpful staff. Great night.

Friendly service. Didn't have to wait long for our meal. Decent quality streak; although a bit cool when it arrived. Good quality meal overall for the price. The draught Guinness was good quality. Toilets were clean. A good pub to have as a local.

Christmas meal was fantastic, all 3 courses were tasty, the roast potatoes I could have ate a plate of just those. Service was friendly and timely, totally worth every penny.

Had a lovely Christmas meal with friends, the table was set out beautifully. It's a friendly pub, the food was excellent as was the service. We would highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Us and a friend were trying to find a new pub/restaurant, just for a change and couldn't get in anywhere when we rangon the friday night for the saturday night the winding wheel made space for us, we have never been in here before, honestly we as 2 family's will 100% be back very soon great atmosphere, great food, very reasonable on the price for what you get! Loved it.

Beautiful steak 🥩 ,, lunchtime treat ,, lovely girl behind the bar , very helpful ,

Great pub, amazing atmosphere, brilliant hosts. Food was incredible and good value. Really does standout as a well run pub with really homely feel. I will be back with friends and family.

Had a good meal with family, very busy as it was a Saturday after the football and a Halloween party had been organised.

Gemma is a great land lady, always very welcoming

Great service, very friendly, highly recommend. The staff cannot do enough for you, lovely food and nice selection of drinks.

Friendly staff and good service

Children there were allowed to kick a football around inside the pub and not being supervised by adults

Great locals pub!! Brilliant standards and the team clearly happy working and there's a nice atmosphere. Had the curry and pint deal and couldn't finish it.

Pop in to have some food, pub can be busy and food is good

Lovely friendly pub. Food was reasonably priced and tasty 😋 Thank you 😊

Great pub, very clean toilets. I have not had an opportunity to try the food yet, It smells very nice so I will be eating here soon.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with family and friends, food was fantastic with a good choice on the menu. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Child and dog friendly too with colouring and toy and sweeteachimes for the kids and bowls of water and doggy treats for the ferries.....Will definitely be back

Never had a bad meal, great value for money .

Great value for money, good food and friendly service 😁

I popped in for some lunch and had the veggie chilli. It was lovely and just the right spice. Gemma and the team were really friendly and the toilets were nice and clean. Great visit will come again.

Fantastic lunch and service to go with it. The whole team were so very friendly and happy to be at work. Will be back

5***** Great food, great company! Fab for kids and grown ups. Great outdoor space for enjoying a beer in the sunshine :-)

Community pub, run by an experienced & happy couple It is dog & family friendly Has good sports coverage with two large screens & other tv's Outdoor seating & sun terrace for the summer Visited for lunch & the small fish & chips was lovely 👍🏽

Nice pub lots of TVs and one big projector TV good for sports like boxing and football

My family went to have lunch today with my oldest brother who lives in a local care home. The staff especially the manager today were so kind and friendly. We had lunch in the smoking area which is outdoors and a lovely space for us to eat. My brother hardly gets to leave his care home and it meant so much to us that the staff let us eat in this area. The food was lovely and the service was very good. Thank you so much for our special lunch today. We will be back.

Amazing staff landlord and landlady are so friendly always a laugh amazing great pub

Great pub. Nice atmosphere. The owner is a cutie as well.

A great pub atmosphere mostly created by the bar staff and locals, food was lovely too.

Amazing pub, very welcoming. I bring my family and dog and they love it. Great for live sports, everywhere you sit you can see a screen.

The Winding Wheel is a charming community pub. From the moment I stepped through the doors, a warm and homely atmosphere welcomed me. The extensive drink menu offers a fantastic range, from classic pints to exquisite cocktails, all expertly served by the friendly staff. The food menu is not only excellent value for money but high quality. I particularly enjoyed the selection of burgers—they were a definite hit! I will certainly return soon. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great choice of beer and great tv's

Happy friendly atmosphere with good beer.

Excellent local pub, Gemma and Craig are amazing. A great hub in the community. The big screen is amazing to watch all the important sporting events and the end of month disco is always popular.

Great pub, came with my family and had food which was really nice and very reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and professional. Great place to bring the family. We will definitely be returning

Great Pub, very clean, welcoming bar staff. Very busy pub and all the staff work hard to make sure the best service is given. A lot of families in which is lovely to see. Well done to the management, they clearly know how to run a great business. Keep up the hard work guys. I will defo return

Rude bar staff. Eye rolling staff don’t like it when you ask them to give you a full pint of coke, oh and I won’t ask you your getting ice whether you like it or not. If you don’t like your job get another

Brilliant meal today first time but not the last. Steak cooked perfectly thank you well done to the chef will definitely recommend and return. The wine and drinks were great quality staff friendly and professional great pub⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First off the toilets were extremely dirty not to mention the strong urea smell as you enter the corridor leading to the toilets in question. The whole restaurant/pub had a lingering smell of cigarettes and tabbaco as if someboy had been smoking indoors. Next off the barman was excessively rude with many eye rolls and huffs and puffs when we asked him to fill the pint fully instead of filling two thirds along as he had where as the lady was quite respecte full and seemed like she wanted to work here unlike the barman.

Great pub whether you are going in for food or just a drink, with friends and family or on your own, the reception is still the same, warm and friendly. Very well run by the management which reflects on all the staff. Overall a great place to visit and will definitely be back.

Would give six stars if I could! Always friendly management, a nice homely local, great beer and always feel social and comfortable in there

A great atmosphere with the owners and all the staff, even better with the return of Lee. Best addition to a local I could have wished to experience and wouldn't want it any other way. These guys have created a homely experience in a local town and are very much a part of it.

Greta night out. Staff all very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious. Will visit again in the near future having just moved to the area.

Lovely friendly local always welcomed by the management, even if I take my daughter in for food or to watch the football with friends, they accommodate everyone and always me make you feel welcome

Had a lovely time here today, Craig and Gemma are very welcoming would definitely recommend 😀

Great place great service lovely team well done everyone

Great pub good food and fantastic atmosphere Staff were really helpful

Nice atmosphere however the toilets need some attention. Smelly plus seats broken or missing in the ladies. They really do let the pub down.

Both my wife and I had the scampi and chips which we both enjoyed very much, and will be going back again, staff, service was excellent, well worth a visit.

Great place for Live sport, great tv wall and multiple screens. Food is lovely and very reasonably priced to the other local pubs in the area. Craig/Gemma and the team are always welcoming and it’s the place to be! #windingwheel

A lovely pub, always a warm welcome from the team. A good selection of beers, spirits and soft drinks. Food is good and portions are plentiful. Good background music and sports on tv. Recommended.

Friendly people behind the bar, drinks are good priced. Food is good especially Grill Night (Thursday??). Plus its cheaper than the NewHall Farm too.

Fab staff, fab food, great atmosphere, well priced. Would highly recommend also nice that it is dog friendly

Excellent food and atmosphere as always! Great for kids and families. Lovely food, reasonably priced too!

The staff are amazing, friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is lovely. Food is amazing. Would reccommend to anyone

Love me chips, love me pints, simple as

Best pub in Heath Hayes and Cannock area , food good , friendly bar staff, massive TV for all sports , owners go far and beyond to help you if needed, great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this pub also dog friendly

Lovely pub always busy but the smell from the toilets is disgusting.

Gemma is lovely and welcoming, had sausage and mash, lovely and hot, clean and fresh pub, would definitely recommend x

Normal easygoing pub where kids are welcome. Plastic menu food but of a decent quality

Great pub , always excellent food offerings and friendly staff.

It's improved since the last time I was in there. The toilets still smell though.
