"Only 11 miles from where we live we had never heard of Kingstone but my wife decided to book an early evening meal here based on the pub being in the Good Beer Guide. Initial thoughts on entering were that the pub was friendly with a comfortable feel about it and friendly staff and customers. I’m going to have to split my review into three. Firstly the beer I had a porter from the Uttoxeter Brewery and a blond from Dancing Duck in Derby. Both well kept and excellent. Secondly the food my starter was salt and pepper squid with a chilli sauce dip. Crispy and delicious. My main a smoked haddock risotto with broccoli. Now my wife is a vegetarian so I’m not allowed stinky fish in the house so I will always pick it in a restaurant. This was absolutely gorgeous and topped with a perfectly poached egg which when cut through dripped yolk down into the rice. Food porn at its best. Thirdly the staff all young ladies serving in a very busy environment but so beautiful, friendly, efficient and kind. Where do all these lovely girls come from? I may have to move to Kingstone (just don’t tell the wife)."

"We were staying in their campsite behind the pub, but we had some drinks both nights of our stay in the pub. Kids play area in the beer garden, loads of parking and space inside the pub. Only issue we found was with the shower block. 3 Blocks all containing 1 shower in and 2 toilets in each. The problem is, people are able to lock the main door, so if you want to use the toilet, and someone has locked that door to have a shower, you are waiting a long time. For us, 20 minutes...3 people all showering for 20 minutes locking the main door, so we cannot use the basins or toilets. They need to remove the locks for the main doors to resolve this. The shower doors have their own locks, so I don't see why it is necessary to lock everyone else out. Happy to stay here again, but will bring the Porta Pottie."

"We ate off the specials menu tonight. The food was top class. The standard menu is good honest fare at a good price in a pleasant environment but when the the chef can extend himself to what produce is available at the time he can really showcase his talent. The meal tonight would have been good value at twice the price. Price per person: £100+ Food: 5"

"We visited Sunday lunchtime and the pub was very busy with diners. The food we had was mainly Good, we had some errors in service but it is attentive and the draught cider we had is quite expensive. We had a prawn starter which was nice with flavoursome cocktail sauce, salad and a piece of warm bread and butter. I had the roast beef sunday dinner which had to be sent back because there were no roast potatoes or stuffing on the plate. Then I had to ask for horseradish rather than being offered it. The roast dinner comes on a smallish oval plate and portion control is alive and well. My beef portion was small with two measley slices. It tasted okay thankfully. The veg on the plate was tasty as was the gravy and Yorkie (we had extra gravy at no extra cost) The meal overall was pretty good but not Excellent. My vegetarian partner had the beetroot wellington and roasted veg. The extra gravy was sent back as it was meat gravy and was then replaced with veggie gravy. My partner pretty much liked this meal. Waiting times for food were not long at all (and the pub was very busy at the time) and the kitchen seems very efficient where this is concerned. The draught cider we had was Inch's at £2.65 for a half pint. This is pricing at the top end of what you should be paying! So it is expensive! Pricewise for Sunday Roast it's okay here and reasonable, but then, for us, it's much the same price at the Red House, Caverswall (bigger portions), Red Lion at Checkley (bigger portions), Butchers Block at Stone (bigger portions) and Brewers Fayre in Hanley (bigger portions)! Overall a nice visit, but watch the drinks prices!"
