The best restaurants serving British food in Etruria and Hanley Stoke-on-Trent West Midlands

Exactly what a pub should be like. Vast range of good beers (though maybe stocking even one non-alcoholic wine might be an idea). Friendly staff attractive decor, comfy seats, super beer, excellent music at a volume you can easily chat over and the nicest, cleanest toilets of any pub I've ever been in. Recommended. A gem. Added to review: Visited again. Just as good as I remember. Genuinely superb.

The manager was very unprofessional, took an age to be greeted, the (who I now know is) the manger came but was rude and abrupt, seemed very uptight, and dismissive. He told us there wasn’t any seats available and told us to wait for half an hour (many empty tables, not reserved as we ended up finding and seating ourselves), he also ignored us at the bar while he was serving one couple and walked away while there was a queue to only stand and wait for customers at the door (there wasn’t any). He pushed past us as we carried our food almost knocking it out of our hands. He was sweaty and unkempt in appearance and very unwelcoming by nature. Bar service was slow as only one person was serving at peak time whilst the manager was stood doing nothing leaning on the welcome desk. The food was lovely just a big shame about the manager who made our experience one we wouldn’t return for. No wonder they had space when every pub in the area was full. Who has employed this man to run a busy restaurant he was the rudest person and should not be front of house. I heard another table complaining about his lack of service also. Also note parking is a nightmare no spaces and had to put reg in at reception to avoid a fine for parking in the pubs own car park. Would absolutely not return. I’d recommend booking a nearby pub in advance.

Meal for two here for the first time at the weekend, the food was amazing. We had double burgers and they were cooked to perfection, extremely fresh and tasty burgers. Our sides were fantastic too with chips and onion rings, both were very well cooked and tasted amazing. Also, I tried a milkshake which was fantastic too. I am so glad we tried this place as it was brilliant and we can't wait to be back already.

I stayed here one night I had no heating no hot water the food was burnt I had to get out of there I can out with the flu because of it. Do not visit this hotel

Brilliant club with happy helpful staff variety of classes for all and plenty of equipment and pools to accommodate all
