Mainwaring Arms in Newcastle-under-Lyme

DOG FRIENDLY...The food was great, not a massive menu, but cratered for all tastes. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

When we ate their it was only a couple of weeks after its refurb/reopen for food but it seems to be bedding down well. The food was good if not outstanding and the staff were pleasant. The beers appeared to be alright but, as the driver, I was going on other people's opinion. I used to drink in 'The Mainwaring' back in the late 60s so it's good that despite the ruination of British pubs it has at least survived. Good that it's a pub that does good food rather than one more so-so foodie 'destination'

Nicely decorated, warm and inviting interior. The mains were really quite good, but the ginger cake was dry despite the butterscotch sauce. The service was odd... One meal was served fully fifteen minutes before any of the other three. Lastly, the candles above our seats dripped onto my wife's coat making wax stains down her sleeve. I would visit again but ask to be seated elsewhere.

Wow!!! Visited our daughter at uni and as she works there suggested we go for lunch. The food was absolutely amazing, the staff were very welcoming, even welcomed and fed our dog. All four of us chose something different off the menu and each of us were pleased with our meal. Suffice to say even though we travelled 26 miles we will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended.

Really lovely, great renovation its has still got its old charm. No booking, it was really busy really hard to find a table. The food was amazing, we had the chicken supreme it was so delicious. Staff great helpful they let my friend taste a wine before we bought the bottle. Will go again maybe not a Friday night. Love it and the Fitzherbert.

Food is lovely.Lunch menu is limited but the full evening menu is also available.As a result prices are quite high for a lunch, especially if you fancy a pudding.The makeover has made a big difference and what was a nice place before is exceptional now.

Beautiful place, quirky. Very warm welcome and dog friendly. Food was divine and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Had a lovely evening, will definitely be going back! X

Went to visit with two friends for our monthly get together and called here Very impressed with the refurbishment Cosy and in keeping with the locations and period of the place. Staff were excellent and couldnt do enough. Very pleasant and attentive. Loved the fact we were offered a Cafetiere of coffee for two of us after our alcoholic drinks Would definitely recommend. nice outdoor seating for the warmer months

Now reopened as part of The Cheshire Cat Pub & Bar Co. Very impressed by the quality of the improvements. Will definitely be frequenting in future.

This place is just reopening,.But taking a walk around the place it seems the new tenants really know what they are doing,.Open fires, great ale, nice people..Yes pleaseKeep it up.PS. I hear food will come here very soon. Book early because if the food is up to the same quality as the venue. This is going to be a CRACKER....
