Lunar Barlaston, Stoke-on-trent ST12 9ER

"The Lunar Experience Menu was absolutely amazing. The dishes were a work of art, the paired wine flight complemented every course perfectly. The atmosphere was open and inviting with a staff that ensured everything was done to a high standard. Could not ask for a better evening to spend our anniversary."

"Came for a Saturday lunch for a birthday celebration, and certainly made the occasion very special. We arrived early so sat for cocktails, the menu was eclectic and exciting, and all the ones we had were worthy of 5 stars. Each of our party had a starter and main, and the restaurant accommodated our gluten free member very well. The lamb sweetbreads worked perfectly with the caramel coating, though the yuzu on the vegetable tempura was slightly too sweet. The lobster and scallop dishes were good. For mains, the star of the show was the clay baked chicken, opened at the table. It was moist and the treasured rice and sauce was full of flavour. The turbot was cooked to perfection and indulgently rich, though the portion size was just right because of that. The wines were great and the service was exceptional. Overall it felt a little overpriced, but definitely worth it for a special occasion. I really wish them the best of luck because there's nothing else like it in Stoke and the story behind the restaurant is great."

"What an amazing dinning experience. From the moment you enter you know this is going to be a great place to dine. The decor is beautiful and all local artist which I really like. The food is amazing and I eat out alot. Definitely a 5 star review here. The small plates have so many flavours. Some very cool and inspirational food. Even the bread comes from Trentham bakehouse which is amazing to see local guys having an amazing places to showcase their talent. The mains are amazing too. Again the the flavours are a great experience. Also forgot to mention. The drinks. We had a few cocktails and again a great drink to make the evening extra special. Definitely a great place to go with your friends and family and if you not been make sure you book. You will not be disappointed."

"Lunar is exquisite! We visited here for a special treat and it didn't disappoint. Everything from the decor, the atmosphere, the story, the staff right down to the pinnacle of the food and drink. Lovely to have a unique restaurant from the brilliant local lad and Michelin starred Niall Keating. Dining underneath the giant moon is fun. The service was impeccable to match the standard of the food and drink. Obviously a bit of a price tag, but expected. Despite that, I thought the price wasn't too bad for the overall experience and culinary masterpiece we experienced. A definite recommendation for any foodie!"

"I can’t praise this restaurant enough. The food was out of this world, every dish was impeccable! I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. The service was outstanding and the staff was highly knowledgable about everything they are serving. The restaurant itself is incredible cool and I love the interior and the story behind it!"
