The Lazy Trout Pub Reviews

The best place ever to have a meal we've been almost everywhere to eat and honestly nothing beats the lazy trout 5 stars to everyone who works here

The Lazy Trout is very popular--and for good reason. With stunning garden views of the Roaches, it is a great place to recover from a hike with good beer (or whatever tipple you prefer) and excellent food. We visited on a Sunday and a lot of tables were reserved so consider if you intend on eating. We got lucky and managed to bag a table between two reservations. Both the chicken liver pate and deep fried halloumi starters were delicious but the real star of the meal was the beef Sunday dinner. The tastiest beef I have had in a very long time (local cattle) and excellent seasonal vegetables. Giant Yorkshire pudding and tasty gravy and you couldn't ask for more.
The building itself has old cosy charm and all the staff were very lovely and professional. Excellent pub!

Amazing pub grub with a great range of ales. Will definitely visit this place again. Thanks for your hospitality

Lovely pub with a warming open fire. Service and food very good

Superb place to eat and/or drink. Best to book weekends as it does get busy, Esp during good weather. Outdoor seating front and rear.

Friday afternoon lunch. Very much happened across this as bellies started to rumble on our way to Leek for an overnight stay. Car park was busy which was enough to call us in and that call was answered with aplomb. Lovely pub with great character and a lovely menu. So much to choose from though we erred on the side of caution (light bites) as dinner wasn't too far into the evening. Cajun chicken ciabatta and thrice cooked chips was great as was the selection of cask ales to wash it down. Service with a smile, the perfect accompaniment to a hearty meal and we were on our way again with every intention to call again.

First class Sunday dinner and excellent customer service

Excellent food well presented, delicious steak & ale pie with herb crust.

Oh my! This place was full to the brim and for good reason. Food was incredible!

Cosy Pub for a beer at the end of a walk in the area! Food looked good too.....and not a TV screen in sight!

Visited July 2018:
I stopped here for a quick drink whilst walking around the reservoir with my 1 year old.
I was quite excited about having a cold cider during the hot summer of 2018.

We went outside to sit in the sun and tried to find somewhere half decent to sit. The beer garden is so unappealing. I found a bench and struggled to find any part where my son could crawl around in the grass. I literally drank up within one minute and left as I was worried about the potential of broken glass amongst the dirt.

Great selection of beers and good food Service was very good but gets very busy especially when the weather's good

Amazing food, very friendly and attentive staff. Love this place!

Great service and food. Dog friendly . The childrens menu was great and unusual to find on offer beef stew on it which daughter was made up with .

Good selection of gins, beers, and drinks. Tasty pub food. Service is good and friendly atmosphere.

I had lunch here following a recommendation from a friend. The Lazy Trout did not disapoint. A warm, friendly and traditional pub set in the countryside. Titisworth is just down the road and a great place to go for a walk and the surrounding hills and countryside is well worth the journey, all of which can be enjoyed from the inside of the pub or, on a warmer day, from the outside in the pubs garden.
The staff are very friendly, welcoming and easy going, so it was very easy to relax.
The food and drink is reasonably priced and the menu caters for nearly everyone.
The food was very tasty and, because i dont like mushypeas with my fish and chips, they were more than happy to substitute this.
I highly recommend the Lazy Trout and I look forward to returning.

Never had a bad meal its always nice fresh vegetables and hot and a superb service.

Just been for a meal. Spot on... Quality food, quality beer and quality staff with very quick service. Highly recommend.

Great pub with good food. We have had lunch there few times after a visit to Tittesworth reservoir. Very friendly & helpful young staff.

Lovely characterful pub, pleasant helpful staff. Great menu choices.Food well presented and very tasty .I had the meat lasagne,which was served with salad,chips & garlic bread...Delicious.

Not tried the food yet as we just popped in for a pint and a breather after scrambling round the roaches. The staff were very good.The menu has good choices and seemed reasonably priced. The beer was excellent with a good choice of real ales. Will be going back for food in the near future.

Probably, in my opinion, one of the nicest country pub, restaurants I have been Ro, the staff are helpful, the drinks are nice, the food is lovely

Has a great meal here with all the family. 12 of us and the service was fast and friendly and tbe food was great. I would recommend the ox tail soup

Lovely place, lovely staff, made to feel really welcome.... We went with a party of 24 and was brilliant service.. Thank you.. X

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere. Will be coming from back

After going on a massive walk around the lakes we stopped off for a swift pint and a well deserved sit down,but unfortunately it was that busy there were no seats inside.si outside it was .we didn't eat here but I've heard great things about the food and service so we will have to try again soon.

Pleasant staff, great location, good food and beer, walkers and dogs welcome. Well worth a visit.

Not a bad selection of beers. Social distancing ensured by staff
Not had any food there, yet. But they have started serving breakfast. Check their website for time of breakfast times

This lovely old pub does great food, definitely worth the small diversion. They are super hot on social distancing measures if that's a main concern and they serve good ales!

Food good. Waitress excellent. Very dog friendly.

This was our first visit. Absolutely fantastic. Great service and food was good value for money. Will definitely return.

Nice pub,good beer,great food.
We took my brother and sister-in-law with us for the first visit and we all really enjoyed it and will be definitely going back

Popped in here on spec after walking around the Roaches. The staff were really friendly and the food was fantastic.

Excellent food, lovely staff and service. Very well organised as regards to Covid-19 social distancing rules. Felt very comfortable and safe.

Really great food all served fresh. We'll worth the visit

Ordered the veg curry with chicken..but was quiet bland..dessert was very tasty though. Service was a little slap dash..Its a lovely quaint country pub..with fantastic views.

Beautiful quaint pub and tasty food in a gorgeous location.

My first visit and wasn't disappointed. Excellent food and friendly staff. We were able to sit out side. Felt really safe. We will definitely be going back

Steak was nice peroni was flat and chips were crap

Stunning quality of food lovely staff and the views from the beer garden are just breath taking. Highly recommend

Beef short ribs a must.... Best pub grub around these parts.

Fantastic food n beer!lovely staff,the place is flawless!!

A pleasant pub serving good food and real ales at reasonable prices. Enjoyed our visit.

Average, bits of kids running the show, not much customer service training gained! Would not return food very disappointing

Wow! Having stumbled across this pub months ago we went for our first meal with family. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the staff were extremely attentive and very friendly. Great buzzy atmosphere with fantastic views thrown in for good measure, we will definitely go again! As it is extremely popular always best to book in advance to make sure you get a table.
You will not be disappointed here 10/10 easily.

Food was disgusting, swimming in grease , cold inedible no refund offered .Avoid.

Probably the best roast I have ever had! The service and food were fantastic.

Book in advance on a weekend. Nice menu. Various options for vegetarians. Car park could be busy

Love it here, looking forward to my tea tomorrow :)

Lovely country pub. Delicious food, generous portions and great ales. Would highly recommend

As of now, my favourite, cosy pub with an open fire and amaizing home cooked grub.
