Best Restaurants for Groups in Stoke-On-Trent

Wonderful meal. We had the roast sirloin, so tender and perfectly cooked. Vegetables were wonderful, with a generous amount of cauliflower cheese. The roast potatoes were the best I have ever had in a restaurant. Soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a good colour. Wonderful. My daughter had the toast pork and was delighted with the crackling. No room for dessert.

We ordered the pumpkin fritte and rocket salad for appetisers, the spaghetti with parsley, chilli and breadcrumbs, fettuccine with Cornish crab and the tomato and mozzarella pizzetta. We had heard good things and had obviously seen the Instagram hype but even still it exceeded expectations. Everything was 10/10. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had! We will be back.

Me and my friend had booked a table for my birthday. We had a really lovely time! Our waiter was ever so kind and welcoming! He suggested some very nice cocktails from the menu because we didn’t know what to pick. The food and atmosphere was fantastic. We had a fab experience!

Lunch for 2 on the seasonal £40 sharing menu in the Saturday before Christmas. I’d heard and read so many good things about Higher Ground but not managed to get here until now, all of which were entirely justified. The interior (my bag) is cool, stylish and well laid out, tables not too close to each other. A really friendly welcome when we walked in, genuine and warm. Superlative staff, informed, enthusiastic without being over attentive, and knowledgable. Wonderful food, a smashing selection of dishes from the full menu. Pea fritters, British crab, incrediblly tasty cured meat, golden beets, warm freshly baked bread & whipped butter, succulent leeks - all excellent. Then a sharing main of Dexter beef on a delicate but hearty mushroom spelt porridge and a bowl of mash homegrown on the HG farm in Cheshire. I’ll be attempting to recreate smoked butter at home but doubtless will fail to make it this delicious. For the quality of food, attention to detail, quality of service, this was £40 per head very well spent. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

This was the most amazing food in a perfect venue. They really have transformed this building into the most amazing restaurant. The service is some of the best we’ve ever experienced. We had some brilliant recommendations on food and wine and I can’t thank the team enough for a wonderful evening.
