Hand and Trumpet in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Haven't been here for years and what a great experience it was, especially the food and the beer, according to my hubbie. Lovely light and airy dining areas plus outside seating. Beautiful grounds. A great recommend

Brilliant pub - it was a lovely atmosphere! I had a chicken ham and leek pie, which was delicious! The meal was perfect - pastry on the pie was great, filling great, lovely mash, tasty kale, mangetout and a carrot / swede mash.

Went with the family for Sunday lunch. It would have been nice to have the option of a smaller portion of the roasts and also for the roast to be an option on the children's menu. None of us had the roast but the options we chose were very good.

A really nice and quite large pub and restaurant. Service and food came promptly and with a smile.Apparently belongs to a small national chain of pubs, although you would not know it as feel local. Would certainly go again anytime.

The ladies in here are out of this world, take today for instance i was trying to find this place so pulled over and went in and they all tried everything they could to try and help me out. The food looks great aswell. Thank you ladies.

Top marks. 32 people booked for a 40th birthday party. Service was so good. Will recommend this place. Lovely and clean. Staff for very helpful. Steak burger was brilliant.

Lovely pub, really great food menu and decent selection of beers. The service let us down a little bit on the night but only because it was busier than they'd expect for a Thursday. I'd definitely go again still and sure it'd be fine next timeGreat that dogs are welcome inside the bar area.

Had lunch here with an old friend, the food was excellent. Ours took a long time to arrive and they came and apologised as there had been a mix up. Without us asking they knocked some off the bill because we'd had to wait. This was much appreciated and a nice touch. The food was absolutely delicious and served in lovely surroundings. Will definitely go back. 👍

Lovely meal at the Hand & Trumpet with work colleagues this week. We went for the Christmas Fayre menu which was very reasonable for 2/3 courses and they were all delicious! Excellent presentation and good service. Very nicely done up inside also we were sat by an open fire which was lovely!

This is a beautiful place. Full of lovely character, old books, vintage furniture and lovely staff. It's also clean, professional and yet still manages to be warm, friendly and cozy... ! Ideal for a romantic dinner or quick luncheon. Great for parties large and small. Lovely fire place that I bet is amazing in winter. Beautiful garden with large pond. Food was excellent. Didn't have our original choice of starter but that's just what you can expect when ordering samphire in September - shame but had the Olives to share instead and they were delicious. I had the vegetarian option (of which there are a few), Goats' cheese and roasted Mediterranean vegetable quiche with crème fraîche potato salad. The menu isn't massive but I would prefer a few things cooked fresh and done well, to mass produce and reheated any day of the week. I really would give The Hand and Trumpet 9/10 and I dont normally score highly unless I'm impressed. This place, I have to say, just makes me feel good! Well done The Hand and Trumpet!
