Restaurant at the Dog and Doublet Inn in Stafford

Spent an excellent summers day lunch with wife Glenys and friends Trevor and Carol. Apart from trvor getting lost due to road work closures.This was in July of this year so hopefully they are finished but this is broken Britain so who knows. When you do find it the venue is lovely. An old building that has been well look after and obviously had a few bob spent oin it. The menu was excellent and the service quite relaxed but still professional. Plenty of interesting items on the menu. If I had to sum up the whole experience it would be one word-relaxing. In a busy world that what we need. Check it out and enjoy.

This pub was a couple of miles from where we were staying in Stafford, stopped there by chance for a drink whilst we waited for our holiday let to be ready, liked it enough that we changed our original lunch plans for the Sunday, to have Sunday lunch here. Had a morning out bowling in Stafford to work up an appetite, and it was a good job we did. At thirty quid for a 3 course lunch it is by no means cheap, but you really do get what you pay for. It was proper fresh cooked food, not some pre portioned microwave meal. Had a pint, was well poured, just the right temp to enjoy, wife had a glass of chilled rose wine, kids had kids drinks. Everyone went for 3 courses, and everyone devoured every last bit of it, I had pate, Beef and pork roast and Bakewell tart, sounds fairly basic, but it was done with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection, there were no complaints whatsoever. Service was attentive and helpful without being obtrusive, pub itself was well appointed and clean, I do tend to rate an establishment on how clean they keep the privvy when busy, and I am pleased to say, this one was well looked after too. I really cannot stress enough, make sure you book in advance, we were at a loose end a few day later and they were fully booked, would have loved to go back for a second meal, all in all with 5 adult 3 course dinners, drinks, wine etc, it was still well under 250 quid, a good price for the quality you get.

Not ate here for a while so decided to stop for lunch on the way back from a day out. Service was ok , starter was nice although small portions for the price. Sunday lunch was average, I have had better. The plate was filled with pickled cabbage far too much obviously there to fill the plate and make the portion seem bigger. There was also a lot of courgettes on the plate both are cheap veggies. Not enough carrots, peas and not a broccoli in sight. Again the size of the Yorkshire pub I’m sure is to fill the plate. Would I go back probably not as I have had better carvery elsewhere and this was table service.

Went for a special birthday celebration with family, was not impressed with the food it was hot which was a plus but my meal was a burger, fries and coleslaw which served on a dinner plate that could have been served on a side plate😣my partner had streak and ale pie chips and gravy which was ok but for the price we were not impressed at all

Didnt get chance to review. Walked in and was told "not doing walk ins today, we are busy with a wedding" They don't do a table bookings online, and not notified they were not open on the website. Didnt look that busy. Won't be going again, it's too far out for a wasted trip. But Aston Marina did a nice breakfast, with a nice welcome.

Staff were efficient and friendly and the restaurant was comfortable. The food was slightly disappointing, unusually for this restaurant. Would try again but the aubergine main dish was not up to standard.

Yet again my favourite place has delighted me with a perfectly cooked breakfast 10/10 Service by Clare and Becky impeccable as usual. It’s my perfect place to wind down and treat myself to some relaxing me time…. Thank you 😊

We stopped oer here to celebrat my 60th Birthday and had a family and friends meal too. We pre ordered the food to ensure it all ran smoothly and the food all came out pretty much together and on time not bad for a large table just before christmas. All of the meals were well cooked and up the the usual high standard we'd expect from the Dog & Doublet. Our room was large with plenty of space and the en suite was good and clean too. After arrial we enjoyed afternoon drinks by the log burner which was really cosy and festive. The following moring we enjoyed and excellent full cooked breakfast made from local produce. Highly recomended and although not far from home, we'd happily stop again.

We visit the Dog and Doublet regularly and always have a great time, the Chinese menu is delicious and the staff are friendly.

We went for Sunday breakfast as a birthday treat and it was absolutely fantastic. The service was first class . A special shout out to our waitress ( who has a very unusual name that I can’t spell) polite, efficient and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended. Make sure you are super hungry !! .

I stayed at the Dog & Doublet Inn whilst away with work. Room was cosy, Bar was well stocked and friendly. But the absolute best part of my stay was 100% the full English breakfast WOW! I have stayed in more hotels than I can remember but this was without question The Best Breakfast I have EVER had. You have a genuis in the kitchen that you MUST keep hold of 😘 Will definitely stay here again

Popped in for a birthday breakfast having enjoyed dining here previously. Sadly this visit was very disappointing. When we arrived we waited at the till area to be seated. There was obviously an issue with the bill for another customer and we must have waited 15 minutes at least to be seated, without even an acknowledgment or apology from the staff member, which I found very rude. We then had another long to have our order taken. Breakfast eventually arrived which we both enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, no staff member came to check on us to see if our food was ok, and getting coffee topped up was very hard work!! The cleanliness of the pub definitely left a lot to be desired. The windows we were seated near looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for months and the stone floor was filthy. Toilets weren’t much better. Sadly won’t be returning as this was not value for money. 5* food but 1* service and cleanliness.

£28 for a sharing meat and fish platter. Definitely not worth the money. Not hot, poor quality food. Avoid ordering one of these. Flies everywhere in one of the outside seating area. Will not be going back

My wife and I were extremely disappointed with lack of cleaning in our room, the carpet was dirty and clearly had not seen a hovered in a very long time. Lamp on the desk was covered in dust. The bathroom was totally unacceptable and I’m not sure who is in charge of checking the cleaning routine that clearly is not in place but I think they need a complete restructure of who is accountable. The whole shower was brown and has not been cleaned in a very long time. Mould on the ceiling. We have stayed in many different locations and understand that you get what you pay for, however the very basic expectation of the facilities being cleaned is standard. Well you would think so. Such a shame because the place has potential and the staff were pleasant. We enjoyed breakfast but really couldn’t wait to leave the room and get home.

We waited over an hour for food, which when it came was not great - cheap, processed meal which lacked taste. Certaunly not value for money or worth the wait. The best thing about the place is Gail - polite, helpful, apologetic and very reasonable in her response to our dissatisfaction.

Very good food and service, nice to have plenty of GF options, will return, thanks for a great experience.

Stopped here for lunch on Good Friday after navigating the busy traffic. So glad we did- a perfect, dog friendly place with outside seating and a lovely, lovely menu! We shared a ploughman's platter which I can highly recommend. Service was outstanding

A traditional pub with a delicious and wide choice of both English and Chinese food. A great choice of gluten free options and also Child and Dog friendly. Friendly staff and management who will help in any way they can. This pub is truly special and very well run, with a good variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Set in a lovely position on the canal and perfect for couple's, families and friends.

Fantastic restaurant which is dog friendly. Lovely environment. Just off the m6. We got stuck on the motorway and the staff were really good about moving our booking and knew how tired we would be when we arrived and we’re very kind. Great wine and food. I had the lamb.

Great overnight stay with entertainment. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. My room was warm cosy and the bed so comfortable. I slept like a baby. The entertainment was second to none and those Cocktails were delicious!

Visited for Sunday lunch with family for a perfect birthday treat.Food was first class at reasonable prices(2 course £20 3 for £25)party of 6 and all enjoyed,plenty of choice on the menu too.Place was full when we arrived,so recommend booking. Definitely be returning.

This pub is located right on the canal bank. There is some outdoor seating. The welcome was friendly and service reasonably speedy The menu is largely pub grub (that's fine, it is a pub!) with a Chinese menu available some evenings. Food was pricey and...

What a fabulous venue for a family gathering!! We were a party of 10 staying in 5 double rooms. The staff were incredibly accommodating and were so welcoming. Nothing was too much for them. My in-laws stayed in the converted skittle alley - perfect for...

My wife and I stayed one night mid week just after New Year. Got a cracking deal on a b+b stay plus a bottle of Prosecco in the room. We arrived early and were greeted by very friendly staff. They confirmed if we had any...

Ordered the French toast, which on the menu stated came with bacon. Asked for bacon to be omitted. 3 of the smallest pieces of dry toast arrived, garnished with watercress(?!), looking pathetic and unappealing.Had to ask for more syrup as the toast was so dry....

Slow service bland tasting food. We normally love it here but whether tonight was a one off I hope so. The soup starter was tasteless the chips on the main soggy. We ordered drinks that took ages to arrive and also ordered more drinks later...

Waitresses untrained and inattentive. Had to be reminded of requests on several occasions. More interested in chatting between themselves than concentrating on the job n hand.

Decent breakfast ! Quality sausages , good bacon , ask for it well done as I forgot and came a little under what I liked as it was thick bacon but still it was very tastey butchers bacon , fried eggs were okay they had...

Excellent venue steak night definitely a good choice excellent hospitality excellent choice for a family night out, Table service 100% Every aspect of this particular venue was amazing

Overpriced - small portions - poor service complained about the size of the meal having received a piece of lamb no bigger than a fish finger with a dollop of mashed potato - my families meals were also very poor - received a response from...

A warm welcome, a very well equipped room. Comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was incredible, a large choice freshly cooked and warm friendly service. We ate in the restaurant. Very good value for money, all round, good food and highly recommended for accommodation and a stay

We were disappointed with our experience at the Dog and Doublet. We sat in the ‘snug’ area which was outdated, uncomfortable with old furniture. The chair I was sitting on was shaky and the table looked like it had come from Wetherspoons. The food was...

Stayed overnight with family on a trip south to visit relatives, perfect stop off - rooms were large, clean and comfortable, had dinner in the restaurant, fantastic food and service, breakfast the following morning was superb, would definitely visit again.

Nice welcome. Blue badge parking. Menus in very small print. Accessible toilet. Food top price. A little bit too fancy for me. London prices. Christmas ☃️🎄 menu 23.00. Modernised large pub. Covid arrangements excellent. Lots of sandwiches at 8.00

Stayed 2 nights with a group of friends. We were warned in advance that they could not provide dinner either night because of a lack of staff so we had to make other arrangements which is a bit inconvenient. The staff who were there were...

Had a great stay here for a wedding at Sandon Hall. The room had a large king and two temporary beds for my 16 year old and 5 year old. The next morning the fire was roaring and the breakfast top notch. The staff were...

Tried to book on line but was told it was full - so telephoned instead and got a reservation without a problem. Visited the pub that I guess was 10-15% full and I was underwhelmed. The lighting was poor, no ambiance and despite there being...

Went back to dog and doublet some 4 years on and still came away disappointed. Some waitress lacked personality and professionalism and didn’t make us feel welcome. The place seems old and dated with awful lighting and no music playing, so we could hear everyone’s...

Had a good stay, work related. The room unfortunately smelt a bit damp and the shower door got stuck so was momentarily stuck in the shower. But the room was clean and spacious but think they need a little tidy up and refresh. Food was...

Plenty of parking, a warm welcome on arrival. Food was plentiful and of excellent quality and served promptly both in the evening and breakfast the following morning. Room was small but clean and had everything needed. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return when in...

High prices for small portions. We left hungry. Very disappointed as we booked on recommendation. The staff were superb and the place itself is beautiful. Such a shame we won’t revisit.

A nice hotel with compact rooms. Everything you need and very competitive rates. We dined in the restaurant in the evening and the food was good and service was great despite being busy. Breakfast was excellence and the lady in charge of service was very...

This was our first visit having decided to call in for lunch. The menu wasnt extensive but enough for a lunchtime. We both decided to go for sandwiches which were really good particularly the fish goujons. The batter was very light and the fish tasty....

We stayed for 2 nights, so we could visit my son who lives close by. The room was tastefully decorated, but the bathroom needed a deep clean, not the daily once over I assume it gets after every guest. We had a sandwich lunch, which...

My wife and I visited last night for steak night for which we had received a voucher for a steak meal for two including a bottle of wine. The welcome was luke warm ,the table minuscule , the wine dreadful .I had a mixed grill...

Great place to come with my family. Me and my husband had a lovely time and looked like my kids did also. Thank you for a pleasant evening. Will return.

Attentive service The starters were fabulous, although they were not the ones that were on the web site. No issue, as the crab and watermelon salad was delicious as was the ham hock terrine. For the price at this quality it isn’t worth cooking your...

I have stayed here before and i love every time I stayed, I love the Lewis Partnership. Nothing is too much. I was visiting for work but also was my partners birthday whom travelled 4 hrs to stay. My partner received happy birthday plate and...

Everyone was friendly and hard working. The check in process was a doddle and the food was of a good standard both in the evenings and for breakfast - The Full Monty nearly killed me. Two small things: 1) The evening menu was perhaps a...

Staff were friendly and welcoming, breakfast was great too. Rooms could do with a little tlc but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Stayed for 1 night in room 11 . Happy enough with the room, although the bed was a little hard for us. Breakfast was very good with plenty of hot and cold drinks on offer. All staff were polite during our stay.

We stayed one night on a B&B basis. Check-in process was simple and the room was clean, catering for our needs. However, the bed was uncomfortable: the mattress appeared thin and we rolled together into the centre of the bed. Breakfast the next morning was...

Stayed here 2 nights for a wedding. After paying £95 for the room A NIGHT I would of expected alot more cleanliness in the bathroom. VERY disappointed in the room we had the shower had obviously not been cleaned very well as seen on the...

Not what we expected, the waitress was really nice, took our drinks order then after bringing our drinks took our order, my mums table had their order taken soon after.We got our starters pretty quickly which were very nice and not long after, our mains arrived.My mum however still hadn't received her soup, I asked a couple of different members of staff if it was on its way and in the end it took so long and was delaying everyone elses meal so she cancelled it!! The children were really hungry but still no sign of their meals, we weren't really enjoying ours at all and it was made worse that we had had 2 courses and they were STILL waiting!!We were on a time schedule due to being on the boat so asked for our bill so we could get through the lock.The waitress asked if everything was ok which was obviously a no as none of us had eaten that much of our mains.,The gammon only had a spoonful of pineapplepuree, a grilled pineapple would have much been better, the eggs on both meals were hard and the chips were very dry and pale.My beef was over done, the roast potatoes were very dry ,the pork crackling was floppy rubber and the cauliflower cheese had no cheese flavour at all, I also had no stuffing. My son had the burger and said it was tasteless so left nearly all of it.The waitress said if we'd complained at thestart they could've put things right but the speed the food was coming out of the kitchen was that slow that it would've made us even later.They knocked the starters off the bill.... we had no issues with thestarters, just all of our mains.Reguarding everyones comments on their experience on my birthday lunch they also complained about the meal.Extremely slow service despite looking wellstaffed, no consideration given to the fact there was hungry small children. The starter was cancelled as too slow to arrive, the childrens beef was very red and bloody, very off putting for a child of 9 (totally the opposite to mine)The chips pale and undercooked, no stuffing with the mixed roast, chicken nuggets were inedible even though my granddaughter was really hungry, my mum hates peas and asked for none with her meal and got a load of mushy peas.They had great difficulty attracting anyones attention to ask for stuffing etc and as they were round the corner and having to shout to them, I heard my mum say " Well, I wouldn't rush back here!!" One member of staff definitely heard her so perhaps they were avoiding them because they realised they were not happy??Perhaps you should send your staff on a customer service course as the worst thing you can do is to ignore an unhappy customer.On this occasion your front of house was let down by the speed of the food coming out and the quality too,I had Tripad good reviews prior to booking but I can't say I felt the same, very disappointing.

Amazing breakfast with very attentive staff. Glad that the quality is the same in government funded days in August. Will be visiting again

We were recommended the Dog & Doublet by the owners of the B&B we stayed at and it lived up to the recommendation.A decent menu, staff who were welcoming (yet still adhered to social distancing protocols) and a nice atmosphere.We all enjoyed our meals and wouldn't hesitate to return again if we were in the area.

Really enjoyed my meal here this evening, excellent service ,excellent food, lovely place helpful staff

Discovered this place randomly online as we were staying nearby,and I have to say it was such a nice place to go.

Visited for a belated anniversay meal following the ease of restrictions due to Covid-19.As soon as we arrived we felt comfortable. We had prebooked to eat in the den- social distancing very much in place due to change of table layout.Staff were very well presented, wearing masks and gloves when bringing out food/drinks.Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We reall enjoyed our evening and I am very happy the pub is up and running again. Will be back.

From the outset everything which could be in place for covid was. We had a shared baked Camembert which was delicious. For our main we had lasagne with garlic bread, topped with rocket and parmesan. It was stunning, cooked as if it was homemade with care. Recommendations are always subjective but this was a delight.

Lovely lunch out with my wife. First visit here post lockdown and it’s all set out very reassuringly - well spaced tables, one way system, hand sanitiser at entrance. Ordering available by app but staff attended to us so not essential to use app. All in all a great lunch out as in previous visits. Well done LP and the Dog and Doublet

Really lovely lunch served by happy efficient staff all wearing masks and gloves. Social distancing adhered too and even the loos were regularly sanitised.Spent a few hours there and was relaxed to the extent that safety wise was able to forget all about the dreaded covoid.Well done Dog and Doublet. A fab meal out.

Our first visit to a pub post lockdown. Walked in to an outside table we struggled with the App but the waitress was very helpful our Sunday dinner arrived almost immediately after ordering and was great. Beautiful buttery vegetables and large Yorkshire pudding with good beef and roast potatoes. Social distancing and one way system inside made me feel very comfortable when using the facilities. Will definitely be back thank you for making our first post lockdown experience so comfortable.

THIS MAY BE YOUR FIRST REVIEW IN THE OUTCOME OF THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWN. -but we are simply appalled by the experience we received tonight, this is not the first time but I can assure you it will be the LAST! Overall, The Dog & Doublet is exceptional for drinks only but in terms of 3 course meals, it is not something that one would recommend. To start with, we had a beer soaked cutlery , table and jeans - myself and my friends were thoroughly wet throughout our meal and it is purely the wettest we have been through lockdown due to the hot weather we have recently had. It was up until then that more unfolded, as the wrong meal was bought out to me, till I had to assure them that it wasn't my meal, it was that then, when my correct meal was presented, half of the meat was missing and I was promised "A FEW MORE KOFTAS WILL BE WITH YOU SOON" and by their meaning of a "A FEW" it was instead only 1! This was not the only dissapointment of our experience but my friend asked for a steak as medium/rare, instead it was presented as medium - from this the same steak was presented on a different plate WELL DONE - Not only this but it was the same steak taken back to the chef instead turned over, as we know this thanks to my friend inserting a cut into the sirloin, he then sent this back, which was then later told they had ran out sirloin

First visit upon reopening. The restaurant was well set out for socially distanced dining. The service was speedy, slick and respectful of personal space. The food as always was excellent. Well done team DD.

We visited this Pub for a birthday meal for 6 of us. The surrounding are appealing but at every stage the service was appalling Order drinks at Table 15 mins later we have to remind them then again and again 3 times in total for 3 seperate drink orders !!. Steak ordered medium well came well under twice sent back. Asked for Vinegar 3 times again.!! Asked for cup of Tea again had to re ask 15 mins later. The whole experience was bad. Service was awful. The only time we got what we asked for quickly was the Bill came within a couple of minutes what a suprise !!!

Went for a Sunday dinner today with 3 friends and the food was fantastic and the service was brilliant. Couldn’t recommend it enough! Order the beef and you won’t regret it!

We went with friends as they had been before and said it was good, however on this night we must have hit the wrong night, three of us had steak and one the fish pie, although the fish pie was good the three steaks and chips were cold also the three dishes of sauce, we sent the sauce back to be warmed up to try and make the meal warmer as it would have been too much of a problem to send the lot back, we informed the staff who didn't appear that bothered. I can only think that the meals had been left standing to go that cold. My wife noticed that a knife had been knocked off one of the tables and the waitress just picked it up and put it back on the table. They didn't even ask if we wanted a sweet or coffee they plonked the bill on the table and left. Last time we go there.

The bar was not busy and yet my partner had to wait ten minutes to get 2 drinks. We informed the waiting staff that we had arrived for dinner however they never came to tell us our table was ready. When we eventually presented ourselves we were shown through and seated. Most of the staff were, I'm sorry to say, incredibly slow and robotic, showing no personality or interest whatsoever. Starter was ok however the bbq ribs on the grazing board were flavourless and certainly bbq-less. The salsa dip with the halloumi fries was obviously just tinned tomato and sugar. The olives and scratchings were nice though. The fries that came with the chicken burger were not cooked and the cheese on the burger was tough as it had been overdone. Fish and chips - the fish was a little greasy. Trio of sausages were nice however the meal came with no veg or salad (apart from a tiny bit of cress). No attempt to take plates away and offer dessert, we just had to eventually call someone over. The desserts were nice, the best part of the meal by far. Overall disappointing and we will not be returning anytime soon. Our impression was that the place was understaffed and the staff that were there were, in the most part, slow and disinterested, and that corners are being cut to save money. I leave this review not to whinge but in the hope that the feedback will be taken on-board and improvements implemented.

A pleasant, comfortable lunch venue. Service is always efficient and friendly. We chose a light lunch option and everything was delicious. Good value for money.
