Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Nice lunch surrounded by the history of the old Glost House. It was quiet when we visited, staff were very friendly and food lovely. There is free parking outside. You could easily drive past so keep your eyes peeled.

Somebody needs to investigate how good this cheesecake was from michelin or something. I never left a review for anything in my life but whoever made this cheese cake needs to be looked at as it was the finest thing I ever ate.

Avoid like the plague! Rude and unaccommodating owner. Simply asked for a table with a plug socket and was accused of trying to force others to leave. If you value having a good day, move on and take your business elsewhere.

Felt a nuisance Asked for the egg in the hole to be poached and for it to be runny The two main breakfasts arrived first, average food, sausage over cooked and tasted of strong herbs. Different sizes of eggs on the two plates. My son...felt out done. When the egg in the hole arrived (again different sizes of eggs) they had been fried. I explained to the Server that I had requested poached, only to be TOLD, you asked for runny! I was informed that they were baked, they weren’t as they would have had a “skin” on them and they didn’t, they were greasy. I agreed that I wanted runny eggs, but poached NOT fried. “So you want poached eggs then ?”, rude. This totally put me off eating and I declined. My husband and son ate theirs, I went hungry. Staff need a course in customer service We won’t be back.More

Went to this little cafe restaurant for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. Despite the rundown nature of some of the neighbouring properties in the area, this historic building has been carefully restored and the cafe has an excellent industrial themed interior. Whilst the menu...is not the most extensive, what they do offer is excellent quality and brilliant value. The service was both polite and speedy. Will definitely return with friends as it also has an on-site carpark which makes visits easy. Thank you for a lovely lunch.More

I came in for a coffee and a scone to end my lovely day that I’ve just had visiting family in the area and I’m sad to say that I will never be returning. The scone was as hard as a house brick, it’s safe...to say I nearly lost a tooth in eating it! and the coffee wasn’t any better, I don’t think the cup was washed as it had lipstick on it. And as for the staff, there was definitely a lack of communication there. won’t be returning.More

My Mum and I went to visit the Glost house when we first came inside we were greeted my one of the servers who rolled her eyes when we asked to look at both the drinks and food menus. We were then shown to a...table of two, my mum asked if it was possible to sit in one of the other tables with a bench as we wanted to sit with each other. There was only two other tables with people the rest of the cafe was empty the server again rolled her eyes and said that we couldn’t sit there and had to sit in the table we were supposed to sit at. We then walked out as couldn’t believe the rudeness from the staff. We normally avoid the glost house as the staff are normally rude and act as though you are the problem when you ask for anything. Not good hospitality, we went to Costa instead.More

Lovely place free parking friendly staff. In these times of Covid it’s very difficult to offer accurate reviews when both staff and customers are restricted so much but some places seem to manage so well even with the restrictions and this wa one of them.

Cute cafe/restaurant with a nice selection of breakfast/lunch items (we only had coffee there but the menu looked good). Homemade cakes also looked great, and we would definitely have eaten there if we had more time (just wanted a quick coffee before an appointment). Coffees...were good quality and we enjoyed the ambience of the place. Waitress was also friendly and the covid regulations in place made us feel safe. Would definitely go back.More

Visited with my family on a Saturday afternoon for an afternoon. I have never seen so much food for 6 people. An amazing selection of cakes, all baked on the premises and lovely touches such as a vegetable cous cous that you would not normally...get with an afternoon tea. I thought it was fantastic value and I'm looking forward to visiting again next time I'm in Stoke on Trent.More
