Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn in Staffordshire Moorlands - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Met up with family for Sunday lunch. Fantastic home cooked food and the chips were proper chips👍 and the Sunday roasts were delicious . Staff were friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

Fabulous food, lovely atmosphere and decor and friendly staff. Would highly recommend. It’s very popular so make sure you book!

Went for an evening meal after a long day hiking. Greeted on arrival by polite young man and shown to a table. The restaurant was full but there was plenty of space between tables. The food is genuinely home cooked, with proper chips like my Dad used to make. Waiting staff were both lovely, Had a lovely meal and wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

A real gem. Excellent value, super interiors, warm and welcoming staff, good food…just perfect. We highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

I stayed here for its convenient location whilst on business close by. I received a wonderfully warm welcome by the landlady who also booked me in for dinner. The room was nicely appointed and very comfortable. Bathroom was spacious too. Exceptionally clean. The bar has a wide range of beers and ales and a thoughtfully broad food menu. I had the beef stroganoff which was, without doubt, the best i’ve ever had. It made me sad that I wouldn’t be back here again for a good while. Then I had the black forest roulade and this left me inconsolable. It was that good. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was just as good as dinner. I’ll definitely be back.

Lovely pub, great staff, good food. Only issue is the table reservation system . If someone books a table, it’s seems the table is out of action for the night, so if you just walk in, no tables are free, but no one sits at them, well they didn’t in the two hours they were there. All very odd. Table issues a shame as it’s a great place, just not really a drop In place .

Beautiful Sunday roast dinner with a good variety of vegetables d a generous portion of meat with friendly staff & a good selection of ales to wash it down with 😋

Good food at the pub Reasonable menu Most stuff with chips Really enjoyed the food and experience I Sadly the lambs liver out stock which I was looking forward too

We visit Lognor each year and were delighted that Ye Old Cheshire Cheese had opened for our annual weekend away. We received a warm welcome in the newly refurbished pub. A good range of drinks available and the food is fabulous. We went for Sunday lunch and all enjoyed our dishes. Notable menu items included the Sunday roast and homemade beef pudding. Super generous portions, homemade food, all served with a smile!

We went to the pub in order to eat. Now I’ll admit we didn’t check times but just attended. At 19.25hrs I tried to order food but was told the kitchen was closed. Ok fair enough I thought. Until I was walking past a table who were only just ordering. Not only that when I asked about other places to eat nearby the barmaid was very offhand to the point of being rude.

3rd time lucky or so we thought! 1st visit we couldn’t get booked for food as apparently fully booked for the evening so we thought it must be good. Had drinks and left for our walk. We popped in for drinks and booked for Sunday lunch the next day we could’ve picked any time but as making the most of our holiday thought the later the better so booked fir4.30 however when we came to order they had ran out of Sunday roasts. We ordered real beef pudding and a steak and kidney pie. Disappointed that you could only have chips and peas with most of the other meals on the menu. Anyway too late to go anywhere else. The real beef pudding was in fact mince and the steak and kidney pie didn’t have any kidney in just kidney flavoured gravy. There was 3 very small peices of poor steak. The pastry was spongy like it had been microwaved on the plate along with the dry peas and the chips were poor old potatoes with no taste whatsoever. All in all substandard quality. I won’t recommend this pub for food to anyone who visits. Nice little spot for a drink though.

Such a fantastic village pub! Cosy welcoming and very dog friendly! The staff are brilliant Stayed for 3 nights in Longnor and didn’t go anywhere else… steak is amazing!! Can’t wait to return!

Please be very careful when eating here, we were told they catered for gluten free, my friend was given treacle sponge pudding which contained gluten and was extremely ill despite asking twice to make sure, the licence is extremely rude and only partly refunded the meal,

First visit as we were staying nearby. Looks like the pub has recently been refurbished to a high standard. Lovely and warm inside with a log burner as you enter. Menu not extensive, but cooked fresh with good portions and piping hot. Gorgeous chips !

Welcoming staff, excellent service, good hearty food and clean well equipped rooms. Delightful place to stay and thoroughly recommended.

I'm not joking when I say these are the best chicken nuggets on the planet. Must order!!! The Luna is a lovely pint too. I'm a few hours drive away but will be back that's for sure.

Lovely refurb done but do not order a ham or beef sandwich unless you are a fan of wafer thin meat out of a packet. Very disappointing & inedible

Fantastic pub. Lovely home cooked restaurant quality food with great menu choices. Prompt, speedy friendly service. Great range of ales, larger and other drinks. Would definitely visit for a drink or food or ideally both!

Salt and pepper chicken starter was out of this world for taste!! The bacon burger was huge we couldn’t finish it! Top marks to the chef!! Really tasty food! Highly recommend

Beautiful country food with excellent service and food. Good value for money, would definitely recommend. Sunday roast was superb. Visited as a family of 6 with a new born baby in tow. We all had Sunday roasts, beef (cooked as requested), lamb and turkey, all the trimming and all super. Portions were large, but some of us did find room for dessert, would recommend the honeycomb cheesecake. The service was lovely, staff very friendly and helped find the baby changing facilities. The decor inside was traditional and comfy, great to see a roaring fire on a dank day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Well done.

The renovations are nice. Service is good and staff friendly but I was let down by the food. Veggie burger clearly came out of a box in the freezer and the garlic prawn starter was just a bowl of 5/6 prawns swimming in oil. Not a patch on the food served at the neighbouring Pack Horse Inn I’m afraid which is also a lot cheaper.

Found this little pub on a trip. Warm and a pleasant welcome. Cracking meals and at an average price for the area. Recommend a visit but if going in the summer or over the weekend, book first. 😀

Excellent meal experienced here. Lovely location, lovely ambience, good service and good choice of menu. We went on a Wednesday when there was an offer on of gush & chips, scampi or beef pudding for £14 including a free glass of wine or pint of beer/cider etc. Food was very tasty and large portions. In fact we were so impressed we booked to eat there the following night ! Recommended without doubt.

Went for a family meal. Food was great as was the atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Had an enjoyable evening and will defo be back.

Lovely pub with nice food and friendly staff. Unfortunately won't use it again as they host foxhunts. Great shame, but my family and friends won't support illegal and cruel sports.

Amazing customer service! Rupert and Ollie went out of their way to help us sort a problem. They were outstanding in their care and dedication to our stay. Room was gorgeous, spacious bathroom with a bath, the most comfy bed in the world, super clean and the quietest night, a great night away. We ate in the pub too, delicious food and really good value. We enjoyed the fire and the cosy atmosphere, was really buzzing with couples, walkers, families and good people have a good time! We will 100% be back. Definitely give Cheshire Cheese a go it is perfect!

Pre booked our table for Saturday 21st October. We had been so looking forward to visiting this pub after it being closed down when we visited the village last year at the same time. The wait was so worth it. The pub itself is so cosy and warm and has been refurbished, but keeping all the traditional features. Still has the nice open fires. We spent a good six and a half hours in total in the pub, eating and drinking. There were 4 of us and we all had a 3 course meal over the period of those hours. Between us we had the starters of pate, salt and pepper chicken and the broccoli and Stilton soup…. All tasty and no complaints. For the mains we had the chilli, gammon steak and steak pudding, again all hot, all tasty and no complaints. Desserts were the apple pie with custard and the lemon roulade with cream….yum. All decent sized and all reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly, helpful and one chap went above and beyond his role and for this we are eternally grateful. I won’t say why on here but he knows what he did 😄 THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU. We have booked to return to Longnor Wood holiday park for this time again next year and will not be hesitating in returning back to this pub. You really are a credit to the village.

What a shame. Cheshire Cheese at Longnor beautifully refurbed. However… no heating on, no log fires lit, with bar staff wearing hooded Parker coat. Serving food with a quilted winter hooded Parker-coat! Making the atmosphere feel even more unwelcoming. What a shame.

It’s great to have the pub open again in Longnor, and all credit to Robinson’s for an excellent refurb. I hope the pub thrives. Unfortunately I have issues with the food being served. I’ve eaten there a few times now and the quality of the food is not very good. I’ve had a chicken madras with cold pieces of chicken in a warm sauce. Clearly cold cooked chicken covered in pre prepared sauce. The steak pie is a meat sauce capped with a separately cooked puff pastry cap. Is this even a real pie? How this be served with hot chips, peas and pastry, but lukewarm steak sauce? The pieces of steak in this are chewy and tough. I have questioned the staff about the cooking and been told the food is home cooked. However there is also the admission that some so frozen and a microwave used. Unfortunately who ever is doing the “cooking” does not seem to be able to use a microwave properly. Serving customers lukewarm food at £14 a pop does not work for me. I won’t be eating here again until there a more competent cook in the kitchen. A pint and a packet of crisps from now on!

Stayed in the village for a weeks holiday, so glad this place is back open. Good fun, atmosphere and great staff. Would visit again if in the area.

Good food the stakes where cooked to perfection,the pies very nice and filling, only complaint they ran out of sticky toffee pudding, the best part the apple pie made up for it. I like the idea of paying at the bar but does cause a hold up, the staff are brilliant and work hard

We decided to try the Cheshire Cheese as we knew it had recently been refurbished and enjoyed our meal of lambs liver and "the sizzler" so much that we returned a few days later. This time we had the 2 sirloin steaks and a bottle of wine deal for £45 which was amazing value, and the steaks were amongst the best we have ever had - perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. They have made a great job of the refurbishment and on the two evenings that we visited they were extremely busy. There was a bit of a wait for the food, but it was definitely worth waiting for. Looking forward to our next visit.

Steak looked like it was cooked in the microwave, no charred lines on the steak and was almost white looking on the plate … little disappointed and service was poor , after spending £43 on 2 steaks Apart from that it’s a nice pub

Very nice pub, the refurbishment has been very well executed. We visited on a Saturday night without a reservation and got a table even though the place appeared to be busy. The well priced food from a reasonably basic menu was good and the service was quick so not much to complain about there, if that’s what you looking for. Disappointed that the bar didn’t have a larger selection of real ale, but the Trooper was okay pint.

Lovely looking pub and the refurb is great but a shame that this pub is known to have hosted moorland hunt. For the owners to allow this disgusting event just shows what kind of people they are.

Had Sunday lunch there today and ot was delicious 😋 As there was a large group of us we pre booked a table. When we arrived our tables were ready and waiting in a lovely private area. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. All...

Called in for Sunday Lunch. It was a serve yourself Cavery, but there was only chicken left. Vegetables were soggy, Chicken was dry, tasteless, Yorkshire Puddings were like rock, inedible. Pub itself is very tired and could do with a refurb , Such a shame...

We were staying in a cottage locally and booked a table for the carvery. The staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent. We would definitely eat there again.

Very good meal at this pub. Good friendly and quick service. The food was very good quality and plenty of it - you will not go away hungry.

Have returned from a week in Longnor and visited this pub twice. The patrons are super friendly, the food selection varied, and the portions large. It has an ambient feel and I would recommend a visit. We certainly enjoyed ours

Dog friendly, great staff, 2 nice & friendly girls- good beer, nice open fire! Flowers outside. Great food- big portions! Would defiantly come again & could recommend for food and drink. Covid safe as possible, maybe windows and doors open to be extra safe. Music...

Had lunch at the Inn. Carvery meat was lovely but the vegetables were very bland. The staff were very polite, especially the young chap behind the bar. The problem for us was how many dogs were in the dining area. We were seated and eating...

Friendly pub in a lovely part of the Peaks, but the meal we had was the worst meal ever! Overcooked and almost inedible burger and pie, tastless fries and salad that had clearly been prepared several hours ago. Such a disapointment.

Returning from 3 shire head dropped in for food was very pleasantly surprised with a friendly welcome. Uneven more pleasantly surprised with the standard of the food and the great value for money. Will be back again

We opted for a light meal here and weren’t disappointed. We both ordered a sandwich which were jam packed with the fillings we had opted for and a large side salad. Absolutely delicious! Would highly recommend.

Phoned and asked if they were serving Sunday Lunches when told they were we booked a table. It took them 10 minutes to bring us a menu which was just burgers and pub food all served with chips - no sign of a Sunday lunch...

Stopped here for a quick drink to break up our walk. The landlady was friendly and welcoming and the pub has a good local feel to it. Unlike some old pubs, it smelt fresh and clean and was well-lit. There is a one-way system through...

Very welcoming staff and felt extremely safe in these trying times. Food was very tasty for traditional pub fare. I had the minted lamb burger which was very good. The rest of the party we equally happy with their beef burgers and vegetarian burger.

Defeated by the two fish and chips for a tenner. Off the beaten track, friendly, polite staff, Covid compliant, excellent value and really good food.

We called here for a meal on our way to Longnor wood holiday Lodge. Lovely food. Well set out on a one way system around inside. Would definatel re visit in the future.

Food good, generous portions not lacking taste. Easily pleasing place. Bit awkward when we walked and waited for service to the table (covid conditions) yet the two people behind the bar continued their conversation with a small group whilst we stood patiently. Not quite what I’d expect but service after this was ok and the food was prompt and satisfactory. Cosey fire, nice country feel to the place and good for doggies. See for yourself.

Covid 19:- preparation looked good at first, with a mostly one way system. The bar had some screens but big gaps open to the public. Plenty of hand sanitizer on all tables and track and trace forms. However, staff did not wear masks or gloves, and got too close when serving food.Food:- the coffee tasted like instant not filter, the tea was luke warm. Thethe food when it arrived was hot. The pie I had was tasty but had some gristle in it. The veg and curry was good. The chips though, oh goodness, they were definitely undercooked and needed frying for longer.Overall, a hit and miss visit.

Booked via email in advance as we were staying locally. Arrived to find that no booking had been made a suggestion that maybe I had booked a table at another pub with the same name. I referred to the name that had emailed with the booking and got an insincere comment that it was the right place but there was a table we could have. Walked through a nice lounge area (relatively empty) with comfy looking chairs and was placed in a back room with wooden chairs by ourselves out of the way. Was offered ‘carvery’ with a choice of four meats. Waitress came to take order who then said that the choice of meats we would like wasn’t available. Our meals arrived, 2 adult and 2 children roasts, not a ‘carvery’ at all but assume that’s perhaps relating to Covid measures although that wasn’t made clear?! Meals were the same size except for an extra slice of meat on the adults. Roast ‘gammon’ was just warmed up ham which was probably left over from the 2 for £10 menu. Waitress disappeared and we realised our roasts were missing Yorkshire puddings. Eventually waitress reappeared and I asked for the Yorkshires, she just shrugged her shoulders and said we should have them. The next thing the chef appeared from the kitchen and asked if we still wanted them. I said that we did so four cold Yorkshire’s appeared on a plate. The food was swimming in gravy. Overall the food tasted ok but was luke warm. The waitress didn’t bother to ask if everything was ok with the food until she came to clear the plates. As we had promised the kids a pudding we ordered some. Part of the pudding order was two tiramisu. I have never seen anything like it in my life. Separated soggy sponge literally drowning in watery cold coffee (See photo). My son refused to eat his so we asked if his could be changed for a brownie. It was very clear that the staff were not at all interested in welcoming people to the pub and they were just there to serve the locals. The man behind the bar (presumably landlord) couldn’t even lift his head to acknowledge us. Very disappointing and a completely different vibe to other pubs we have visited in the local area who couldn’t have made us more welcome. A very disappointing Sunday lunch which we had been looking forward to. Covid measures wise, plenty of signs and sanitiser everywhere. A one way system that not many people seemed to follow and no track and trace details were requested.

Steak dripping in oil and no flavour what so ever ordered onion rings which never came,free bottle of house wine with 2 steaks it was just 5% grape juice when we asked to speak to manager and was told he was busy, yes he was very busy outside smoking. Also i dont want to make this too personal but he did look loke he had just finishd work on a farm he looked scruffy

We stopped locally and the pub looked great and is clean. Does allow dogs and we sat outside. Staff were quite disinterested in helping and not overly friendly to visitors. Requested a ploughmans and not at all like one of pictures on here, it was a bag of salad tipped on a plate and lots of small plum tomatoes. No dressing. I did ask if instead of a selection of cheese I could have cheddar to which the owner/cook (?) was quite rude saying I should have something else which I replied I wouldn't bother. Then did mutter would do it and then did bring out this 'dish' and wished I hadn't had anything. Patronising with what a ploughmans is but advised have eaten them for years across the country and never had an issue before. My friend left her burger as not pleasant. Female bar person also abrupt at the bar, may be better to the locals!? Did not go back here again.

We ate here one night while camping at Pomeroy. (I did not like the drive to get here, there is a very windy steep road!) As a group of 7 we had to sit over two tables, which wasn’t really an issue, as this was explained to us when we arrived. Each table had its own bottle of hand sanitiser which was good to see and despite the Covid rules there was still a very nice atmosphere, compared with where we had eaten the previous evening. Service was good, and we were served our food and drink by the staff at the table, again very different to the previous evening. Unfortunately for me there were very few gluten free main meal options in this pub, which was a little disappointing. However the staff were very accommodating especially when I forgot to ask for my sons meal to arrive with the starters, and they were able to cook this straight away for him. Overall we were happy with our meal (disappointed that it wasn’t part of the eat out scheme) it was just a little pricey.

Staffordshire's most northerly village is the delightful Longnor with such lovely views and charm it is well worth a visit.Abbie served us with charm and delight and her expertise at pouring the drinks was impreesive.No need to ask them to 'Top Up' here.Food and service great and toilets immaculate.Need to improve their external flowers and the weeds needed sorting but otherwise a delight.

We booked in after visiting earlier for a drink. Nice food very nice pint of Ipa nice pub grub at reasonable prices staff friendly all in all a good experience.

Odd vibe, apart from one really lovely young waitress, the rest of the staff came across as quite disinterested and not the friendliest (unless you're local). We only ate here once, we were staying at their Inn across the road (which I also strongly don't recommend) and apart from buying a bottle of wine to take back to the room one evening we avoided eating or drinking here again. They do allow dogs though, Which is great, it's an easy stop if you're in the area walking too. The food portions are really generous, which is always appreciated - you won't leave hungry... but the quality of the food isn't great, so you will leave dissatisfied. Nachos were rather cold and not very cheesy, the battered chicken on the burger was very oily, the oil was probably not hot enough to avoid the batter becoming saturated. We are naturally a bit more critical as we're in the industry, so if you're not fussy you probably won't care. I'd suggest having something from the fish and chip shop (which was lovely) or merchants house kitchen, which is great! They also aren't particularly very concerned with hygiene, lipstick marks on glasses, greasy plates and dirty mugs are their specialty. (We experienced a lot of their crockery staying at the Inn).

Nice pub in the middle of Long or. Good size car park at the rear along with outside seating front and rear.We visited in the afternoon just as covid19 started it had already made an impact to their custom.This is a really lovely village pub, old fashioned and cosy. Well worth a visit for sure. Beer very well kept.

We were staying in the village and popped in to eat on Thursday 2nd Jan, only to be told that they were only serving food for pre-booked parties. The fish and chip shop was closed for re-decoration and the Merchant's House was also closed so a trip to Buxton was required. Maybe we'll have better luck another time?

We visited this pub on 3 occasions while staying in the local area. The first we arrived at 8pm hoping for dinner to be told there wasn't any food left unless we were staying on site (we wasn't)... we left and went to Merchants Bar instead.The second time we went at 5.30pm for a drink and they'd run out of white wine and lemons/limes for a gin & tonic. No biggy but it's basics, surely?!The third time we went for band night. Better stocked bar overall but had to reuse the same glass all night as they'd run out of gin glasses.Overall, okay place for a drink but slightly odd feel to it unless you're a local and we certainly didn't feel enticed to try again for dinner, although the pictures on Trip Advisor look nice to be fair!

Had a bad day, but a visit here to have a steak in front of a roaring fire made it all ok again! Highly recommended.

I cannot praise this gem of an Inn enough... Spacious for all needs with a truly Countryside atmosphere & well cooked locally sourced food... X

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at this little Gem.Log fires burning, cosy rooms and wonderful food. Zoe and Matt who run this place are amazing, friendly and would do anything to help. We blew a tyre whilst there and Matt assisted by helping us remove the tyre and taking us to Buxton to get a replacement.Had lovely meals here from suet pudding, steaks to fish and chips truly wonderful place to stay.All the locals made us feel welcome and we cannot wait to return to see them all. We have already re booked for November. If your staying in the village or passing through please pop in you won’t be disappointed dogs welcome too.

No welcome and not much of an atmosphere. Locals are ignorant and look at you as if you have just landed in a space ship. Drive past and find a nicer place to eat or drink.

1 man 2 13 year old girls and 2 11 year old girls...we loved it ..lady behind the bar was great with the kids lovely pint of pils darts and a piano (one of the kids played it)...great pub thanks

We are staying in Longnor village in a beautiful cottage and always like to visit the “local”. What a mistake, the lady behind the bar didn’t greet us with a smile nor a welcome, we said we wanted food and she reeled off what wasn’t available on the menu with this deadpan look. Undeterred we chose a table and I chose hunters chicken and my husband rump steak - he enquired if possible to have the seasonal vegetable and mash and was told she didn’t have mash!! With hindsight wish we had left at that point, a man presumably the landlord brought cutlery then our meals - mine could definitely have been warmer and the seasonal vegetables were appalling. The steak was ok but had better. No-one came to enquire whether all was ok, we had just finished our food when the landlord came and took our empty plates, he did not enquire whether we wanted anything else!! We didn’t as it happened but only because of quality we had already received - I paid the bill, again we were not asked whether all had been ok nor thanked for our custom. Altogether a very bad experience and certainly never return nor recommend.

Nice location, good food and friendly people. Food was good, even the kids liked it. We would definitely come back here.

Random find whilst staying and Mandale Campsite one soggy weekend.
