  “Good food, tasted very fresh. Burger especially was good - crispy outside but still juicy inside. Lovely old building with lots of character. Desserts were a bit disappointing - fairly basic and overpriced.”

  “The Clock Warehouse in Shardlow offers an exceptional dining experience, especially if you appreciate a venue steeped in history. Housed in a converted mill dating back to 1780, the pub is beautifully situated along the Trent and Mersey Canal, adding to its charm and appeal. My friends and I visited on Saturday afternoon and were immediately taken by the venue's atmosphere. The blend of historic character with modern comfort makes it an inviting place to relax and enjoy a meal. The selection of cask ales is impressive, with options like pedigree served straight from the barrel, adding an authentic touch to the experience. The staff at the Clock Warehouse deserve special mention for their friendliness and efficiency. They were quick to serve and always ready to assist, making the overall service enjoyable and stress-free. The menu is vast and caters to a variety of tastes, featuring everything from starters and pub classics to specials and puddings, including vegan options. The meals were well-presented, with generous portions that arrived promptly, which is always a plus when dining out with a group. The food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable, which was a pleasant surprise. The interior is beautifully maintained,and the entire venue is clean and tidy, reflecting the care taken by the staff. There's also a large outdoor seating area, perfect for sunny days. Overall, the Clock Warehouse is a gem of a pub, offering a great combination of history, good food, and excellent service. It's a place I'd gladly return to and highly recommend to others. A note to add _ the kitchen door slamming e every now and then is ruining the calm ambient inside. Urgent intervention is needed. We came back because we genuinely loved the place, which is why this experience was so disappointing. One issue I have raised, still hasn't been addressed, the kitchen slamming door, very unpleasant every time it is used. More concerning however, was the noticeable drop in hygiene and overall standards. Tables had visible glass marks, suggesting they hadn't been properly cleaned between customers. There were leaves inside the venue, and even more outside around Tables and building corners. On top of that, some broken chairs, which doesn't create a great impression. The QR code ordering system also didn't work properly. Overall, the standards seem to have dropped significantly compared to our last visit, which is disappointing given how much we liked this place before. We will give it another try in the future, as we know how good it can be, but this visit was far from a pleasant experience. As I mentioned in my previous review, I returned, and I am pleased to say the experience was back to the standard I was used to. On Sunday, we booked a table for three for lunch, and I was genuinely happy to see everything running smoothly again. Even the previously annoying noise from the kitchen service door has now been resolved. The venue was very clean, exactly what you expect from a place serving food. All staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, even offering suggestions, which really improved the experience. The QR code ordering system worked without any issues. The food was excellent as always, although I should had that food quality was never really the issue. Overall, I am very pleased give them 5 🌟 again, and I will definitely continue to return.”

  “We have been many times to the clock warehouse. The food today was good, really enjoyed our food. The staff were polite, professional and kind. This is absolutely not a reflection on them….they were making the best out of what seemed to be….a rubbish situation. Management NEEDS to put on more staff. The servers were seriously working their socks off making sure everything didn’t fall apart, but they were frazzled and tired. Brilliant food, brilliant staff, lovely place BUT put more staff on. Those working conditions weren’t fair. Especially after such a hot week when everyone is already flagging. We will be back BUT we will leave it some time before returning in the hope the staffing situation is sorted Lottie, Camc, Poppy and Elle, assets to the team, keep up the hard work. Thankyou for being wonderful xx”

  “Carolynne is an absolute asset to the local pub. From the moment you walk in, she’s welcoming, friendly, and always makes customers feel at home. Her service is attentive without being overbearing, and she handles busy periods with professionalism and a smile. What really stands out is her genuine warmth and ability to remember regulars, creating a great atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or spending the evening with friends, Carolynne helps make every visit enjoyable. Excellent customer service, a positive attitude, and a fantastic ambassador for the pub. Highly recommended!”

  “It's rare I leave a negative review but I've just had a very disappointing meal here. I admit I have eaten it due to an hour wait for a "sirloin" steak that was definitely a rump (way too much fat), which was sent out medium rare (asked for rare), and did not include the mushroom. I was with a larger group but we did order at the same time. It was £23 for this steak. The service staff were polite so no negativity towards them, but when they are coming down with 1 dish at a time and had an hour between the first coming out and the last it's not a very funny joke. We come here for a meal every year for my and a friend's birthday but we will not be eating here again.”

  “We visited today and had such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was absolutely gorgeous — warm, welcoming, and full of character. The food was delicious from start to finish, and everything was beautifully presented. My daughter was especially impressed with the enormous Yorkshire pudding, which she said was not only huge but absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive, and we’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!”

  “It was all good loved looking out over the canal, just feel sorry for the 1 waitress that was doing everything from seating to cleaning up. And dealing with complaints and still serving with a smile to the best if her ability.”

  “Lovely setting by the canal. We sat outside because it was busy and we had our German shepherd (dogs are also allowed in the bar). The food was reasonable to good in terms of quality and we used a 40% voucher to bring the price down. We hope to return again over the summer months. Only 3 stars for service because you have to collect your own cutlery etc”

  “We went for our 10th wedding anniversary and got seated at a table. Nobody came to serve us, it was busy but we should have still had decent service. We then decided to order drinks on the app to give a server time to come and take our food order, we waited 35 minutes for our drinks to be brought to our table and still nobody took an order for food. We then decided to order in the app and the food was definitely worth the wait but we did get the food faster than the drinks. After eating we ordered a dessert but was told it was out of stock so we ordered some others that were in stock but got overcharged after the member of staff said "I will charge you the extra" from the prices online and on the menu she over charged us by £2. A really disappointing first time experience. On the way out nobody even spoke to us or acknowledged us or even said thanks for visiting. The service was absolutely shocking and let down our whole anniversary.”

  “Fantastic dinner! Service was friendly and swift. Our party greatly enjoyed their meals. The steak and ale pie was superb, as was the cheese leek pie. The halloumi fries were also a hit. They were accommodating to my wife's egg allergy as well. Thank you!”
