“ Great party venue in Newcastle We recently hosted my son's birthday at The Carlton and had a great experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly and accommodating – nothing was too much trouble, and they helped everything run smoothly throughout the night. We arrived early to decorate the space, and they were more than happy to let us in to get set up. The room we hired had a spacious layout which made it easy to add personal touches and we even were able to display photos around the room, which made it feel really special and personal. All in all, a fantastic night and a brilliant venue for our family celebration. Would definitely recommend. Thank you! ”

“ My husband and I would like to thank the Carlton for hosting our alternative part 1 wedding breakfast after we got married at newcastle registry office on the 28th June 2023. Communication with the team was easy, we spoke frequently via email finalising the day. Face to face communication was also excellent. We picked the Carlton to host our special occasion due to the grandeur of the building, the beautiful decor, delicious food, 10/10 cocktails/mocktails and lovely, attentive staff. We’re grateful to the team for making our day extra special, we felt welcomed, all our guests were stunned by the building, food, drinks and manner of the team.

Fantastic staff who always serve with a smile. Looking forward to seeing this place move forward and a great addition to the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. ”
“ Nice modern venue with indoor and outdoor seating that had a Bank Holiday themed event when visited that was great, nice to see with staff participating. Food was tasty, portions could've been a bit more generous for the price but wouldn't stop me from visiting again for a drink or two. ”
