Chetwynd Arms in Lichfield

Lovely decorated, staff are really friendly, food was really nice. Loved that you can borrow a pair of glasses to read the menu from the stag on the wall. I will be revisiting.

Another excellent meal. Keep on doing what you excel at 😀.

We had a really lovely meal, friendly staff and great atmosphere for a catch-up with family.

The food was fantastic along with the homely feel of a proper pub. The staff were friendly and dogs were allowed in.

Had a lunchtime 3 course meal for £15 absolutely lovely. Good size portions, too.

Beautiful area for walking and then recommend this gem of a pub for excellent range of beers & drinks (my pint of blonde ale was top notch, well kept and well poured) The food I had was excellent also. A really tasty vegetarian cottage pie that was well seasoned which makes a great change for veggie food and the cheesecake was delicious! My dog thoroughly enjoyed the chicken dinner too 🐶😊 The staff and the locals are all very friendly and attentive. There is a marquee at the rear which is an excellent space for private functions. There will be a new kitchen extension built soon to provide extra capacity for the private functions. Highly recommend this pub.

This pub is situated in Upper Longden, not far from Lichfield, but is well worth the extra few miles to it seek out. Nestled in the centre of a lovely village, it has the character and charm of a by gone age. There is a car park with disabled spaces. As you step in, you are greeted by qwerty features, beams and a well presented pub. It is clean, tidy and well decorated, with added pumpkin touches. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were shown to a table in a lovely area, not large, but in keeping with the size of the building. The menu was new total, but that did not hinder the service. There was a wonderful selection of dishes that would cater to any tastes or requirements. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options were also available. Service was good, food well presented and tasted delicious. This is an excellent pub and I would definitely recommend you visit. Booking is probably recommended, especially in the evening. I can't wait to return.

This is a real gem the food is amazing truly homemade beautiful dishes cooked with care. The staff are all welcoming and friendly. Home from home. Go u won't be disappointed

Amazing food, great staff and fabulous service . My favorite restaurant

Got a last minute table for Friday tea, the staff were very attentive without being too pushy, the beer was perfect and the food just tasted as amazing as it was presented.

First visit here with my mom, family and our dog. Easily accessible with a wheelchair and a bonus that we could take our doggie, they even had a doggie menu. I would highly recommend. The food was delicious and staff very friendly. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

I'd wanted to visit for a while & I certainly wasn't disappointed. Visited Saturday evening & had a really delicious meal, I had the belly pork & it was really tasty. Also served pernod which is very rare nowadays! Hope to try Sunday lunch soon. Thank you

Lovely hot tasty food, very friendly staff, couldnt do enough for you. No waiting or rushing. Perfect experience for Sunday Dinner. Thank you

Went today with 3 friends, our first time visiting. Well, what can I say other than what a fabulous place. Brandon our waiter was very attentive without being intrusive. The food was more than amazing. Have already booked again. If I could give 10 stars I would.

A lovely pub to visit ,and great pub to eat at ,great service ,excellent prices ,an all round cosy friendly place 👍👍👍

First time and didn't disappoint. Sunday lunch was lovely. Plates hot so food stayed warm very tender beef. Lovely vegetables. Pudding too after a break from the dinner. Around good place to visit

The owner was welcoming and very polite

We had an amazing time at the Chetwynd arms. I went with 6 other guests and we all only have good things to say. The service was amazing and the food even better.

Fantastic place for lunch the food and service were brilliant many thanks 👍

We went for a small family get together in the restaurant. My sister in law took her dog and was a bit nervous about how he would behave, but the staff couldn't have been more hospitable with him, bringing treats and water and making a fuss of him. We had a lovely afternoon with beautiful food and amazing service from lovely staff. Our favourite place to be with family and friends. Thank you all 🥰

Went here sometime last year with my partner who is vegan he was over the moon that roast dinner included vegan yorkies and vegan cauliflower cheese. We invited lots of his family to come on a few occasions, all travelling a long way, all vegan, all thrilled. So often, the vegan food just has elements missing so this was an amazing find. Went today with another vegan friend who lives in Asia. He drove an hour to come and had been fantasising about a full s7nday roast for months - but we were told that they didn't do vegan yorkies and never had! He took a different option but it was really disappointing. We can get a sunday lunch with missing elements anywhere so won't make a special journey again. A bit gutted as it was such a find. Also, despite 3 vegan options on The menu (great!) They have never had a plant milk for drinks. Loads of people can't have diary so this is a shame. My food was good and the service was fab as usual, just not the same unfortunately.

Great stop off before a dog walk in Cannock woods. Lovely traditional pub. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Plenty to choose from on the menu. Great indoor and outside seating. Pop in if you are in the area I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Called into the Chetwynd Arms today for a quick drink in the sunshine and decided to have lunch. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Salad. It was absolutely beautiful and also included beetroot, sweetcorn and edamame beans. Such a lovely pub, great staff, in a lovely setting 🥰

While at Cannock Chase campsite we went for lunch here, bit disappointed really, my mate had to send his gammon back because it was more fat than meat ,he asked for it with the fat trimmed off and we'll done ,it was undercooked for his liking and more than 50% fat .

Excellent food excellent service

Lovely staff. Warm welcoming atmosphere food home cooked very delicious will definitely return and recommend to friends and family

Our first visit and definitely not our last. A beautiful interior, the loveliest friendliest staff and then the food……truly beautiful. The prawn and scallop stater was stunning. Already looking forward to going back

Absolutely a must place to visit the staff are so helpful and here's why. So we rocked up with our dog for a Sunday lunch, which I thought I'd booked via their online system, but me being me, I'd done something wrong, and it's my birthday. This is why I'm writing this because the staff went out of their way to move things around for us to enjoy such a fantastic lunch. The Beef came with all the trimmings with a rich beautiful gravy, the same as the lamb, and both meats were cooked perfectly. Again, the staff were very courteous and helpful all through our service so I can't thank these guys enough for making my birthday such a good day, thank you to all at Chetwynd Arms, see you again very soon.

Amazing food... We had loaded chips and chilli chicken it was unreal. Beautiful place, staff fantastic. First time here and definitely returning x

Excellent food and service, good seating and parking, The service from Brandon and assistant was excellent and friendly, he was happy to attend to all our needs and very quick service. The food was excellent and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be going again very soon. Highly recommended.

First time in the Chetwynd but received a nice welcome good atmosphere as well

Well what can I say went there sat with wife went outside too have our drink though it was a bit expensive too say the least looked at bill charged us 9.00 for a small glass of wine I have too say what a RIP off will not be going there again

All I can say is wow, the food was amazing the staff were brilliant and in such a lovely, relaxing atmosphere couldn't have asked for more highly recommended, we had the prawns and scallop starter and steak for main and it was possibly the best steak I've ever had, the scallop melted in your mouth everything was cooked to perfection

Excellent sunny late spring afternoon with sunday roast sandwiches and cold beer in the lovely garden.

We have called in a few times over the years, driving through. It’s a vastly popular place with locals and passing through custom. Plenty of drink choices on offer, the food is always well presented and very tasty for a good price. All staff and management are extremely welcoming and attentive. A bar/restaurant with an atmosphere, a rare occasion in today’s climate. A must visit a few times a year!

Lovely food , with a great atmosphere!

What a beautiful meal again, pork belly bites and wild mushroom crumble to start, fantastic. Both had lamb rump mains, absolutely beautiful so tasty and lamb cooked perfectly. Mint aero cheesecakes for puddings! My favourite cheesecake there so far, but they are always amazing! Staff are very friendly helpful , served today by Aimee and Brandon, fantastic customer service! And Brandon remembered us from last time! Absolutely credit to the place!

Brilliant Especially good about our dog

Absolutely stunning food every time 👌🏻 recommend the truffle chips as a side and the chicken burger is incredible. Ample parking available and it's free.

Booked a table through Brit stops Really nice pub and the food was so good we booked again for the following day. Had the best Sunday lunch, staff were friendly Would recommend! Dog friendly too. A short walk across the forest from the Cannock campsite

First time here with family whilst visiting from New Zealand and was not disappointed. Sunday roast was fabulous. Service the best I've had in a long time, very very friendly. Would definitely recommend and family definitely be back and so will we next time we're in the UK

Great meal. Good atmosphere. Well catered for gluten-free!! Thanks

Lovely little country pub! We went for a Sunday roast dinner and can't recommend enough! We will definitely be going back. The service was friendly and efficient, the vibe was homely and cosy, and there was a good selection on the menu. The one thing I would say is that the car park is quite small and because it is so popular may get full quickly, so I recommend travelling in as few cars as possible if you're driving.

A friendly, cosy country pub with good food and real ale. We had the 2 course lunch for £12.99. Smaller portions but still plenty to eat and great value. The home made chips were lovely and so was the gammon ham. Thank you, will see you again soon🙂

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, the food was home cooked and really tasty. Will definitely be returning

Went the chet for Sunday dinner and had all 3 course's I had 3 choices of meat for my main , pork bits gor starter and cheese board to finish off happened to be beautiful food from starter to finish

Women belind the bar very miserable. Argument about our booking even though we had it on our phone. Starter was fine Main course was sent back as the pie was dried out , extra pastry around inside edge of pie to reduce filling which seemed like thickened gravy never found pieces of meat. Very hot chips perhaps microwaved. Onion rings very very greasy,lots of batter but very little onion. Did not bother with desert or coffee as I had enough disappointment for one night. I even ordered a second glass of wine which never arrived. All in all I would never recommend this pub not even for a drink just totally lacking in atmosphere,having dined I understand why. It's only saving grace was a pleasant waitress who was so overworked for her wage.

Fabulous pub, nice locals and staff.

Had food and drinks hear excellent a real gem. Smoke house menu was a nice surprise

Went for a birthday party( about 25 and to be fair almost everyone else said food was good) and 3 of us had “slow roasted” barbecue beef brisket, it was awful, was like it had been quickly pan fried 2 mins before being served. This led it to being extremely tough to the point all 3 of us could not finish meals and did not taste nice at all.

With only one other table in use it was a very quiet evening in the pub. The food was very good and the service exceptional. A few more party goers would have been good, but it was the 27th, so most people having a rest after Christmas. Very nice

Meal Hunter's chicken. Friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Delicious food and great service 😊

Went here today for my birthday. Never been before. Was fantastic. Great Sunday lunch, very accommodating to the family's varied dietary requirements. Waiter and waitress who served us were excellent, friendly & efficient!! Will be going back... Thanks guys, Ian.

Booked for an early Sunday lunch. Excellent service and food. We need to visit more often!

Had been meeting a friend for Sunday lunch here and when she cancelled, I thought I shall just go on my own. So glad I did, wonderful atmosphere and food was amazing. Blue cheese mushrooms and soldiers to start, followed by pie of the day with all the normal Sunday roast trimmings. Staff here are always so friendly and welcoming. Top job again! Thank you.

Lovely pub, friendly and jovial.

Had the best Sunday lunch we had had for a long time, I had turkey, husband had beef, just beautiful and staff were beyond friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

Been here on several times over the past few years now, love the place. love the food, team, atmosphere, choice of drinks and did I mention the food? Been for sunday lunch and evening meals. Deffo reccomend the Chet platter if it is still on the menu? Accompinied by one our their fab starters, an of them as they are all good. seeee you real soon x

Visited today for Sunday lunch and pleasantly surprised, warm friendly staff, wonderful country atmosphere throughout the pub/restaurant and delightful food. (Especially the gravy) Large portions, plenty of tasty well cooked beef (Ordered Turkey hence the four stars) all the trimmings you would wish for I na Sunday lunch. Today was a test for our party of six monthly get together and passed with flying colours. Add to this a beautiful location in Upper Longdon and the horses just outside the window in the car park with the riders enjoying a drink, this truly is country living.

Fabulous food and great service.

Cannot fault food or service. Top quality food, including pork belly, supercool salad, pie of the day, ribs. Waitress fab and patient when we wanted 3 separate bills. Will definitely be going back!

Great choice for a meal. The chef at the time knew how to cook. Used a couple of times not disappointed. Parking no issues. Slightly dog friendly.

Friday visit with family. Always made to feel so welcome at this lovely country pub. Food was exceptional, from the starters of garlic mushrooms, teriyaki beef salad, buffalo cauliflower to the mains of delicious home made prawn curry with just the right amount of spice to the chilli chicken which was crispy and tender to the chicken burger and the special of roasted cod loin. Followed of course by indulgent desserts. Still our favourite place to eat out. So good we have been back for Sunday lunch today 🙂

Always pop in here for food when we are staying the weekend at the chase caravan site. This occasion walked there and had lunch. Food always good. Reasonably priced and the dog always welcome.

So disappointing. The beef teriyaki salad was sadly lacking in any taste, just pieces of overcooked meat and it wasn’t possible to resurrect it as no dressing and the croutons tasted like recycled cold chips. The main course was better, but it’s difficult to make a mess of pizza. The waiting on staff was limited to one young lady, it wasn’t fair to have a go at her as she was trying to serve the whole restaurant on her own. We didn’t even bother looking at the dessert menu. Shan’t be back in a hurry

went to the Chetwynd Arms on Friday night without a booking the restaurant was busy but we only wait ed a minute for a table after looking at the menu i had the fish and chips and my friend had the home maid steak pie with veg and real mashed potatoes and really enjoyed it very meaty pie and wonderful gravy.The fish batter was one of the tastiest batters i've tasted we will definitely be going back service was excellent as well

Best Sunday Lunch I’ve had for a long time. Big portions and very tasty. One of our party need gluten free options and was catered for perfectly. Puddings we’re huge! We waddled out! Will definitely be back soon!

Just got home and feeling very content after our meal here earlier. Quick service and generous portions. I had the lamb roast dinner and hubby had the steak and Stilton pie. Lamb was very lean and plentiful. Steak and Stilton pie was definitely a winner too. Good choice of vegetables. Mash and roast potatoes with a side serving of carrots, leeks, parsnips, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower cheese. Good serving of gravy too Food was hot and freshly cooked. Although we live near to this restaurant it’s the first time we have eaten here and it won’t be the last. The midweek menu is calling. Please pass on our thanks to all on duty this afternoon.

Lovely pub in the chase. Had Sunday dinner and it was lovely. Would definitely go back

Excellent Sunday roast, although this trip was not as good as previously, but still a very good choice.

We went to the Chet for Sunday lunch today. 3 of us had Sunday roasts which were, as always, amazing. Plenty of meat with mashed potato, roast potato, stuffing, pigs in blankets, a huge Yorkshire pud and gravy. The vegetables came in a separate dish, to serve yourself. Leeks, cabbage, broccoli, carrots and a lovely cauliflower cheese, all cooked to perfection. My daughter had the vegan chicken & mushroom pie which was very tasty. We had a panacotta with raspberry cheesecake ice cream that was delicious but the star ⭐️ of the show was Alfie’s Mars bar cheesecake with a warm melted Mars bar sauce in a jug to pour over. This was heaven!! A lovely afternoon spent in a wonderful pub with great food, friendly staff and a warm, welcoming atmosphere 🥰

Had the best evening out! The staff were fantastic, warm and welcoming! The food was superb! Dog friendly for my fur baby to join us! Extensive wine list to chose from! Loved everything about this fine establishment 😊🐾😊 even had a birthday treat from the very thoughtful kitchen staff

Great to call for a drink, had the nachos as a biting on very nice

Cannot fault this place. The residents of Upper Longdon are so lucky! Lovely staff( thankyou Brandon and the gorgeous ,friendly barmaid (( sorry ,didnt get your name)).....) A highlight of our weekend.

Fantastic food for all the family ribs were really good and the staff were really friendly, nice outside space definitely recommend.

I have never been before but my parents often come and talk about how lovely it is. Today we went for Sunday Roast and WOW it didn’t disappoint!!! When we arrived we were greeted straight away and made to feel very welcome. We ordered drinks at the bar and were shown to our table. I had the creamy mushroom starter which tasted amazing- it was a large portion so I could have shared but this isn’t a criticism. I then had the beef roast which came with lovely, creamy mash (it was probably the best mash I’ve ever had!), Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes and stuffing. We had a range of vegetables to put on our plates too including cauliflower cheese, parsnips, cabbage etc. I was full and couldn’t order a dessert but my Dad ordered the Mars cheesecake which smelt incredible when it came out. It even had a melted mars bar sauce!! The service was exceptional- every member of staff which spoke to us was cheerful and happy. Nothing was too much to ask! We will definitely be returning- thank you!

After an exhausting walk through cannock forest we finally made it , we were 45 mins late for our booking 😬 we were greeted with laughs and smiles and a chance for another booking time , sat outside in the open sided marquee nice ambient music and freindly staff . Thank you very much for a wonderful afternoon . Definitely be back !

Went for sonday lunch was just average, portions size was not great especially for the men will not be returning in a hurry

First time here today such a lovely meal, extremely helpful staff especially Amy couldn’t fault the place will definitely be returning

Had a lovely lunch well looked after great food

Absolutely fantastic honestly not just the food but also the service bar staff very very quick and think her name was Rachel who served us and another girl brown hair can't praise the service enough off everyone brilliant will deffo be back

This is a lovely village pub with loads of outdoor seating as well as a great choice is ales and drinks. The food menu is limited with not a massive choice and to be honest a bit on the expensive side. I chose gammon you...

Great pub. Solid selection of ales and a large and very comfortable garden. I've not eaten, but I believe it's popular for food. The interior is comfortable and a bit eclectic. I'd have happily settled into my armchair for the afternoon if I'd not had somewhere to get to. Would recommend.

Great place to eat or just meet your friends, Staff were excellent, friendly and just a great location 👍

We booked a table for 7pm on a Thursday evening. When I booked they only gave an option for 4 people. I just assumed that was the only option they gave. I did leave in the requirement section there was 2 adults and 3 children, my phone number was available if they needed to call me. When we arrived and i told the waitress we was a family of 5, we became an inconvenience. My youngest is 3 so I didn't see the problem. A man brought a bar chair though for us to use but looked really rude at us when he put it down. We ordered food for the children, a starter to share between myself and husband. We also ordered a chet smoked special with 3 sides, chips, mac n cheese and slaw. This was also to share. My problem was the lack of service. The young girl on was the only person serving during a full restaurant. As soon as she put the food down she was gone. I can't complain about her as she didn't stop but it was the lack of service that made the experience terrible. We had a starter and didn't get our cutlery changed, we asked for a side plate for our daughter and didn't get one, as we ordered a main to share some extra plates would have been nice but she didn't stick around long enough for us to ask. My son wanted ketchup but we wasn't asked. I ordered a slaw and got a side of gerkhins!!! We all needed another round of drinks but again the girl serving was running around back and forth. I don't know what I'm annoyed about the most, eating with my hands because I had no cutlery or paying £3 for gerkhins! Unfortunately that was a family celebration ruined. We won't be returning. Hopefully the feedback will be taken on board and more staff recruited.

Plenty of friendly staff and a good choice of beers.

Not impressed with the food at all very bland

Good service from staff, we were a family of 7 adults, all had different meals, we were all of the opinion that the food was "just alright" nothing special which we don't mind if the prices were average but they were fairly high in price,...

Services Good. Food average. just not quite as good as my mum does it. I'm not into piling it in a big Heap. I like to see what I'm eating separated on the plate. Don't get this new way of serving food.

Good beer, friendly staff, simple reasonably priced food. What more do you want from a pub.

Great food, not the most friendly place

Came to The Chetwynd Arms for Sunday lunch with my husband and the dog. We had a beef roast dinner and a lamb roast dinner. They were sooooooo tasty. Plenty of meat with roast potatoes, mash, carrots, parsnip, cabbage, cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets, stuffing,...

Top place to visit if have meal be prepared for big portion could not eat it all staff really helpfull and really nice place to go top top place

After seeing such good reviews, we were looking forward to our meal. However I can honestly say it was one of the worst experiences I've had. I don't say that lightly as I understand it could have just been an off day. But it was very poor from the start. We booked for 7pm and when we arrived, no one acknowledged us and staff members walked past us 3 times before I had to ask to be seated. The Camembert wasn't fully melted and hard in the middle. The Chilli chicken portion was so small it seemed like a children portion. For £17.00 I was so shocked at how small it was. The ''Thai Salad" was just grated carrot with some sliced chilled red chilli. The egg fried rice was around two tablespoons full but it was inedible as it was burnt and hard. My partners burger was raw in the middle and had no taste. We had to leave most of it. We didn't bother with dessert as we knew it probably wouldn't be good and didn't want to waste any more money. The table next to us mentioned to the waitress that her slice of pie looked very small and another lady sent her fish pie back because it was cold. It may have just been an off day or low staff as other reviews are great, but we just did not have that experience and won't be returning.

The food here is terrible. I had the pie of the day, peppered steak. When the food finally arrived the portion size was minuscule, being about a 1.5 cm wide slice at its circumference. When I queried it with waitress, she confirmed it was a...

Portion size is terrible, we had pulled pork with crackling which was barely a ladle full and the crackling was black and solid to the point of being inedible! a honey bourbon pork belly which was very small and a margarita pizza which the base and crust was so hard you couldn't eat it....with the 2 pork mains you have to pay extra for sides we had not even half a handful of presumably frozen skin on fries and a small portion of Mac and cheese like a creme brulé size dish! All in all a pretty terrible meal ...will not be recommending.

Eleven of us visited the Chetwynd Arms on Saturday afternoon for a birthday celebration This was my third visit and the second time having the lasagne, which was amazing yet again! I opted for chunky chips which were very tasty. The portion size was plentiful,...

Cosy pub for a drink. Love the Sunday roasts too!

We had a lovely Sunday dinner today as a family. The roasts are lovely. The owner saw that my daughters garlic bread was over cooked and immediately removed it and got a fresh one. The only feedback I would give is that 3 of us...
