Sarah's Cakes & Bakes in East Staffordshire

Visited on a Saturday night, there was sport on the giant screens so it was busy at first but it cleared as the night went on. Staff were friendly and welcoming, half is a pub with a pool table and screen for sports, the other half a sit down restaurant. Outside area is big with another screen. Food came out promptly, and was as ordered. No awkward atmosphere or attitude from the regulars or staff

Came today for race day staff behind the bar were so rude to a old man I ended up helping him when staff served the drinks they just slop on bar having it spill everywhere no manners terrible experience

We were in the area and googled pubs that serve home cooked food and the reviews were exceptional, so it was a must to come a long and taste the delightful food. It's decor and ambience was the perfect setting to end rare day out together. The gentleman that severed us was very welcoming and polite. We ordered the chicken and leek pie and slow cooked steak pie with mash and seasonalvegetables. And oh my days was it tasty and cooked to perfection! Yes it was. The sauce on the chicken pie was divine and took the whole pie to another level. The steak was falling apart with no fat! Which was a huge hit for my pallet preference. And the buttery, creamy mash was through the roof. The veg was perfectly executed with the perfect crunch. I highly recommend and certainly will be returning. Well done guys.

The menu has changed which is good, however when coming you have to call every time to ensure they are actually serving food, as been turned away a couple of times as they were not serving food Anyway we went in May 2023, the food was fantastic as usual, all home cooked, absolutely top notch. The Bangor burger has changed and is even bigger, in fact it defeated me I could not eat it Very reasonable on the prices, overall excellent and will come back time and time again

This is our 2nd bottomless at The Middle Bell (soon to be 3rd!) Lizzie & the whole team couldn’t have done more to look after us. The gorgeous cocktails were certainly kept flowing! No photos I’m afraid because we were too busy having fun. The food was amazing too, delicious burger and such great portions for a bottomless where other places skimp on portion size or water down the cocktails. Brilliant value at £40 for 2 courses or £45 for 3 plus a never ending supply of fabulous drinks. Terri, Dan & team certainly have this nailed & I would recommend a visit for sure!
