About Gardeners Retreat

Gardeners Retreat is a pub on Boothen in Stoke On Trent, with a small front bar and a big TV that shows football. Pedigree is served on draught, and burgers and hotdogs are served occasionally. A function room at the back has its own entrance and its own toilets, and it is hired for birthday and engagement parties. A DJ plays at the parties held there, which gives groups a space of their own for a celebration. Dogs are welcome, so regulars and visitors can bring their pets along when they stop in for a drink.

Customer Review Summary

Private parties in the back function room are the most frequent draw, with reviewers describing an 18th birthday, a 30th and an engagement party held there. They mention a room with its own entrance and toilets, decoration arranged in advance, lighting tailored to a colour scheme, and a DJ who played good music and followed the hosts' requests. Close behind is the beer garden, called lovely and kid-friendly, alongside a small but cozy front bar and football always on the big TV. Reviewers also praise friendly staff and a kind landlord who helps out wherever he can and doesn't allow any trouble, so people feel safe. A few mention cheap, good burgers and hotdogs served outside occasionally. The one negative comes from a single reviewer who found the Pedigree bad, said it tasted off, and called the pints expensive. Several party hosts finished by saying they would definitely come again.

    “Great place to be Been down with family before customer service was impeccable Owner makes you feel welcomed the second you walk through the door Food is fantastic If I had to recommend a place it would be the gardeners retreat”
  • Adam Pearson
    “We had our engagement party here and I’m so glad we did. The room was the perfect size, staff were all very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was brilliant. DJ Bloke did a fantastic job on the night; listened and took on board exactly what we wanted. Could not recommend more, thank you for helping us to celebrate our night!”
  • Purple Monkey Dishwasher
    “It's expensive and it's bad. £6 a pint, stupid. There was blood all over the toilets. Pedigree was bad, tasted like it had line wash in it. Triple H would be ashamed.”
  • Chris Holdforth
