The Bartlewood Lodge Stonehouse

Had dinner here the other week and good service and good food with a decent sized car park, a play area to keep the kids happy outside to the back. :) lots of pizzas, burgers and carvery to choose from. They tend to close early so it's not a open very late place.

It is a great bar/restaurant with great value menu and decent drinks. The new Marston's 61 Deep on tap is 3.8% and a really nice pale ale. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Sunday carvery is really good value and the portions are huge, with an option to pay more for extra meat. Good selection of vegetables. Very tasty and filling are a long walk. Serving staff very welcoming and friendly. Good social distancing measures in place.

Have returned multiple times since original review, just as good each time. Excellent food.

Fab place, some items a bit pricey but they have a deal a day so it makes them more affordable if you choose s day to go. Always busy, best to book a table. Staff are lovely, food good. Ample parking available.

My wife and I went for a Sunday carvery. Timed it well as there was no queue. Plenty of meat, and great choice of veg, and all of it hot. Proper gravy too. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but couldn't quite eat it all so for us the standard size is plenty. As we left a queue had formed so it must be popular. It's all about the timing.

Don't bother. Still needs improvements.

Food was very poor quality for the price, and tasted of nothing. Also, serving dips in clear, disposable plastic containers really sets the tone of poor quality. First time I've ever left a pub and not eaten all of my food.

Service was non existent. Restaurant was extremely noisy, and there was food all over the floor, so the entire place smelt stale. There were children and adults alike running around the restaurant, both with food in hand, and without. A pretty stressful and chaotic dining experience overall. Also, not too welcoming with people hanging around right outside the entrance, seemingly for no reason. Bit weird.

The one positive, was that the lady who greeted us and showed us our table was very friendly, however we were simply shown where to sit. We were not made to feel comfortable, welcome, or offered any service whatsoever. Maybe at a quieter time it would've been better, but it felt more like a food court than a cozy english pub.

Overall, there are much better pubs around to get a good drink and meal, so don't bother wasting your money here.

We visited this place today, 04/02/2022, to try out the carvery. This time, we booked ahead. The service was great with lots of staff around. The carvery itself was very morish. 3x meats , gammon , beef and turkey. I always pay the extra for the large, which gave us an extra Yorkshire pudding. Absolutely lovely place to visit and eat.

It was the first time myself, partner and her mum had tried the breakfast at BL. Overall great, well prepared and quality ingredients. However, my partners mum who is a Vegetarian was met with a sharp response after unknowingly put Mushrooms on her plate. 'You have to pay for Mushrooms!' As this was not stated on the approach to the buffet that Mushrooms were not included. Meat dominates the buffet which is fine for me but I feel it could of been handled with a bit more kindness.

We like this place very much indeed.The prices and food are unbeatable too.
It's very big inside,and we feel comfortable eating there.The staff are friendly and polite without being over-fussy.
It does get very busy,so you need to book.
We use the app to book,and there is numerous good offers to be had within the app.
We can thoroughly recommend Bartlewood Lodge without any reservations.
