Peaches

You're walking into somewhere that takes its food seriously. Peaches sits on Silverdale Road in Newcastle-under-Lyme, and it's become one of those places locals actually recommend without being asked. The kitchen isn't mucking about with frozen prawns and MSG shortcuts—there's a reason nearly 1,000 people have bothered to leave reviews, and they're almost universally positive. It's the kind of spot where regulars have their orders down pat and the staff know what you're after before you sit down.
