Went here on Boxing day for a family meal
Gave this place a wide berth for a while. However, now it has new owners decided to give it a whirl.
Service was a little slow, food and drinks were good. The kids meals are probably the best I've seen in a pub.
Nice to see the phoenix rise from the flames. Shame it's lost its children's play area at the back. If this had still been here it would have got 5 stars from me.
Our initial visit to this place was this Sunday, and it definitely won’t be our last. The Sunday lunch was outstanding. The staff were remarkably friendly, and the place had a charming atmosphere.
Called in by chance after seeing they were dog friendly after a walk around near by Thrybergh park. Great food with value for money on 2 or 3 course options. Our dog Eric had a lovely little blanket put out with his own bowl of water & a few treats. We will definitely be coming back.
Lovely pub, nice and clean. Very welcoming. Outside area to sit front and back. Dog friendly. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent. Unfortunately I cannot give 5 stars for the food. I had trio roast. The vegetables were over cooked. I had trio dessert. chocolate brownie, cheesecake and Eton mess. The eton was was basically a big blob of cream with a few tiny pieces of meringue, no strawberries. The cheesecake didn’t taste anything like cheesecake, more like a mango tart. The food let this pub down
We used the Earl to host mum's wake. I was surprised by the night quality if the food given we were catering for 45 guests. We chose the standard hot buffet which was really well presented on time with generous or even over generous portions, we certainly had excess food. The lasagne and the curry were very tasty.
The staff were also attentive and supportive, and we were given an extremely pleasant area overlooking the gardens exclusively for the event. Overall a very well managed event. I have no hesitation in recommending the venue for such an event.
Absolutely beautiful and magical place to have your Christmas Dinner with my family. The staff can't do enough for you,very polite and friendly. We love it there 😋🤤😍🥰.
One of the best pub Sunday dinners I’ve had. Staff were all lovely too.
Went for a group lunch here recently and had a good meal. We both had the Chicken & Bacon Pie, mine with the Chunky Chips as shown. Everyone from the group had different meals off the menu and all commented on how nice and tasty theirs were. Would consider returning again if passing the local neighbourhood again. Atmosphere and the place was good, clean and friendly staff. This was during the week so not sure what it would be like on the weekends.

Incredible wine tasting evening, with an offering of ‘afternoon’ tea and bubbly beforehand. We were warmly welcomed on arrival and sat in the side bar whilst everyone arrived. The event was well organised and had a beautiful welcome board, with the table set up with a generous portion of cheese and meats, bread, and crackers. The host from the pub, and the wine expert, were fantastic. We had 4 wines to taste and they were all very healthy portions, probably a small glass of wine meaning we got a good 500ml each of excellent quality wine which was available to buy if we wanted. Assuming the wine as different, I’d 100% come again even on a monthly basis! The host bought a large group which really added to the fun dynamic as they were engaging and fun - they even had a hilarious challenge to try and beat the world record for eating 3 Jacobs crackers in 60 seconds, and got us all involved couldn’t stop laughing!! It’s harder than it sounds! I hope future events have an equally lively group as the atmosphere was amazing, and not pretentious at all. Although people clearly made an effort to look nice, particularly the ladies, it was a casual affair and thoroughly enjoyable. I’d highly recommend the pub and their warm hospitality. Thank you for an amazing night!
Had my 1st visit here earlier with my parents and daughter, the food service was super fast and at a lovely temperature, also tasted as good as it looked!
My daughter started getting a little tired however Nicole (staff) offered to help and push her around while I ate my food
Can honestly say my 1st experience here was amazing and will definitely be returning next time with my dog!
Thank you to Nicole especially for helping and all the rest of the staff at Earl of Strafford
Xx
Really nice Sunday dinner, will be back in the future 100%
Nice staff, batter could have been crispier. Chips excellent. Dog friendly. Wine good
Really lovely place, staff incredibly helpful, food is really good and presented well. Wheelchair accessible with enabled parking places. Advise you to book. Large party's book in advance not to be disappointed.
First time in here despite living in the area all my life. Lovely interior, more modern than you would expect. Only had drinks but the food look lovely that others were having. A little pricey but you expect that in larger places that have such lovely interiors, really recommend.
We had a Wake held here today for my Late Nan. I cannot recommend this place enough! The staff were all very pleasant and professional and the food was absolutely delicious, even the vegetarian options were absolutely lovely. The restaurant/pub has lovely vibe to it modern but traditional.
The venue is very chilled and cosy. Great for a family meal! The food itself was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The staff were really attentive, friendly and polite! I'm looking forward to my next visit!
