Lovely hidden Gem. Went for lunch with friends. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Especially the Lemon Drizzle cake which is baked on site.

This little bistro is one of Stafford's hidden gems tucked away at the side of St Mary's Church. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. Children are always welcome and it is our Grandchildren's (11 & 13) favourite place to have lunch in Stafford. It is not a large menu as everything is fresh and made to order, no bought in boil in the bag ready meals here. It is an independent family run establishment and this is reflected in the care taken over the preparation of the food and their tremendous customer focus. For those of you old enough to remember the TV programme Cheers you just have to imagine a small restaurant instead of a bar and after a few visits you will become part of the French & Byrne family. Please note the toilets are upstairs.

I’ve only been here once before and it was lovely, so I suggested that my friend and I go for breakfast on another occasion. When I arrived I was a bit early, so for 10-15 minutes I was sat on my own, I ordered myself a coffee which came promptly and was lovely. 5 minutes later I asked the waitress if I can order a coffee for my friend as she was only round the corner. When I asked the waitress for this coffee, her response was “is your friend definitely coming? She hasn’t cancelled on you?” I was a bit shocked because it’s not really any of her concern, and I wouldn’t be ordering a drink for her if she had cancelled. The food came, no faults with the food, however I had left a little bit on the plate simply because I was full, the same waitress came over and asked “why haven’t you finished your food?” with her arms folded!! I just thought this was so rude!! It doesn’t matter if I ate none of it, the fact is I’m paying for it and I will eat of it what I like! It’s a shame as this place definitely has potential, but unfortunately this experience was not nice.

Place is lovely and we've been several times but, today I made the wrong choice. I usually go for the quiche which is amazing, but today decided on the chicken and bacon sandwich. It came full of lettuce and sliced tomato which made the whole sandwich filling slip and slide. It also had diced beetroot which fell out everywhere which made me worry about staining my clothes. The sandwich wasn't worth £8.95

Such a bright spot in a somewhat downtrodden town centre! We were grateful for the positive welcome and excellent service throughout and both enjoyed the vegan brunch, with coffee and cake after. We also benefitted from some tourist pointers and a wee visit to the Ancient High House museum. Thanks for going against the tide and delivering personable service and nutritious food to weary travellers!

Beautiful location with a really friendly welcome. Sat upstairs and had a very attentive lady get us some water and take our drinks order. I had a tuna sandwich and a side order of fries, and my husband had the egg benedict with bacon. He said his meal was perfect, runny egg yolks and flavoursome hollandaise sauce. My sandwich had a thick filling of tuna mayo and really tasty. Will definitely be returning, a great cosy place for our date day brunch. Bonus was they had Brewdog IPA and an array of alcoholic beverages or coffee and tea options do something for everyone

I wanted to do something special for my parent's and so I organised an afternoon tea for them. Well I couldn't have asked for anything better and they were looked after tremendously, with fabulous food, atmosphere and 1st class customer service. Beautiful sandwiches, savouries, cakes, scones and plenty of tea and they thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Highly recommended for anybody wanting to be pampered.
