  “Have had the best Sunday roast today at The Stoke. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was the best roast I’ve had in a restaurant and we had a lovely time sat out in the sunshine. Many thanks.”

  “We had a great experience at The Stoke thanks to Matt. My friends and I were having an issue with our drinks rewards. Our QR code scanned successfully, but we didn’t receive the reward, and at that point none of the other staff were able to help us. Matt stepped in, sorted everything out quickly, and made the whole process easy. He was very friendly, helpful, and professional throughout. Excellent customer service, and he really turned a frustrating situation into a positive experience. Thanks again, Matt!”

  “Been to The Stoke a bunch of times. It's fine, does what it does well, no complaints. Food is good for the price, drinks are decent value and it's got the sports pub vibe... And that's what leads me on to the two star review. Randomly came in late this evening 30/6/26 and Wimbledon was on the screens, Serena Vs Joint. The pub was quite quiet, no world cup masses, and my wife and I were probably the only people of about 10 inside the pub actually watching the screens. Then, literally on match point, the final serve, a staff member comes over and switches the channel to football, "big match tonight, need the volume!" He honestly only needed to wait 10 seconds or ask us if it was ok - he genuinely stepped in front of us and tapped the controller as the critical serve was being made! Ok. It was 9.55 so there was at least 5 minutes until the football kicked off. Honestly, it was so clearly ridiculous that we couldn't help feeling it was deliberate for some reason or the guy was just a dimple. Didn't even bother to apologise when we made it clear what he'd done. I'm not even really a sports guy, but seriously? Sports pub?? Not sure...”

  “Came here on a quiet Tuesday and got the katsu fries which used to come with chillies and spring onions and coriander, just came as a giant slop of beige. Such a shame as I used to rave about the food here. Guessing they recently changed the menu here which is such a shame as always loved the small plates section when on a quick pop, in which has now been halved! Really sad to see a beloved pub take that turn :(”

  “Had a fantastic time at The Stoke. James C was especially helpful throughout the evening — not only great behind the bar, but also really quick to assist when we had a small issue with the darts and shuffleboard setup. He handled it professionally and made sure everything was sorted smoothly. The rest of the team were also incredibly proactive, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and a really enjoyable place to spend an evening. Will definitely be back!”

  “Not recommended. We visited on a Sunday night, a vast majority of the menu was off including the pizza that this place used to be locally known for. The food that was available was plain average. Service was poor but only in volume, one bar man working hard to serve everyone else. This criticism is not of him, but on the logic of such poor staffing choices. I’ve been here a few times before gigs at The Boiler Room. I won’t return.”

  “We stumbled across this pub because we wanted to meet my son halfway. Called to book for Sunday lunch and they had no other bookings. Odd, but we went ahead. Lovely pub, nicely decorated and they have board games. For example, Scrabble is built into the table. Plus, there’s Shuffleboard. What a great idea. Brandon and Claudia were fabulous staff because they cared about the service they gave. The part that lets the pub down is the food. We all had the roast. The beef was very chewy, salty and there wasn't much of it. Overall, there wasn't much of the meal and it was ok, at best. I gave the pub 5 stars because the service and pub were very good. The food needs to improve.”

  “I visited from Australia for Christmas lunch. Amazing! Staff were welcoming, cheerful and very attentive. The atmosphere was great and had a good vibe. The food was 10/10! So much we couldn’t finish it. We definitely had to have an afternoon sleep! Thanks for a memorable UK Christmas. Definitely recommend and will returning.”
