The Bank House Inn in Stafford

Perfect meal really enjoyed our evening

Food is fantastic. Staff are amazing. Let down by the constant yapping dogs in the lounge and having to clamber over a myriad of animals to get out of the pub. One even licked my wife's leg as she stepped over it. One dog was even in the restaurant trailing on a lead out of the lounge. Not really what you want with a nice meal out. It's a shame... i suppose we live in a dog obsessed country but it is not for everyone.

We were staying at a campsite nearby and were made to feel so welcome as soon as we came in. Staff are so friendly and warm. We had drinks on the Saturday and booked for us Sunday lunch. It was delicious

Ate from the Sunday lunch menu. Food was great (best Steak Pie I've ever had). Service was very good. Friendly, polite and efficient staff. We enjoyed the quiet of the bar with our dog. 😋😋

Had dinner and pudding there as we were on our summer break. Had starters and pudding which was Cheesy garlic bread that was so spot on so bloody yummy same with halloumi with sweet chilli sauce on side. Also had Bread and Butter pudding was to die for as it had apricots jam as well. I love the old fashioned dish like these. Wanted to visit the local pubs. Staff so friendly regarding the area linking with photos on the wall. Cosy pub on little hill. Relaxing and very clean. Need encourage ppl to visit that’s not local to the village. Had couple drinks as well as we stayed nearby for our break from London. Parking is opposite the pub as local car park (free)

Great food. Good prices. Nothing too much trouble. Very attentive.

Great service as always , cheesecake to die for .

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends today… the welcome from Becky was warm and friendly, the food and service was great. Have been a few times before and would highly recommend a visit. Enjoy!

Although the pub & restaurant was heaving, the staff were friendly & helpful. Service was spot on & the food was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble & although it will be difficult for us to visit again (100 miles between them & us) we will deffo be back.

Awful service and very unprofessional! Didn't have our booking of 14 people, slow, rude and borderline unkind. I would say the food was amazing but the service let everything down which is a shame.

Went out for my birthday meal been booked in well over a month, for us to arrive 15 minutes before our booking to be told they had no booking for us. We were then told don't panic we will sort it, because of the time we asked if they could sort something like a bowl of chips for our kids whilst we waited to which they agreed, only to later recind the initial offer Besides the owner all the staff were rude, unprofessional and tbh terrible! Took over 40 minutes to serve drinks, food took an eternity to arrive (it was not busy) Asked for kids meals to come out with starters because of how long took to serve, again did not happen Not even a token gesture for all the screw ups! After refusing to pay a penny one of the staff put hands on me eventually after asking 4/5 times the owner come out and after being called a liar, trying to scam a free meal we eventually agreed to get the bill from 325 to 250! On a positive note the owner seems like a genuine guy, food was excellent Would avoid like the plague

Lovely pub with great service, couldn't fault the staff at all 👍 The meals was fairly priced and drinks also. However the only down fall the chicken on the burger was overcooked and more like KFC chicken. The menu on the Internet was different compared to what was presented to us on the day. Presentation to meals and table layout was spot on. Parking outside the pub, lovely location and well kept 👌

Had a good meal here.The standard of food was very good. Staff were great also. On a personal note I found the portion a little small.Had. Sweet and all of us agreed they were great. Would go back sometime

Yer it was ok, nothing special.

Was only here to wish a work colleague all the best in his new venture. Everything was fine from my point of view 😉

Bliss . Great Staff . Great atmosphere . Love it

Had a bank house burger it was absolutely amazing so succulent and juicy home made bun top it all off, ontop of that Rebecca was amazing very happy and attentive amazing service and food overall!! Will define you be returning

Lovely Sunday lunch with our Granddaughter. Can’t fault the food or service.

It was OK. Decent pub grub, but nothing special

First time eating at this pub. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, and I would definitely recommend and eat here again. 😋

Had a lovely meal this evening with my husband and Little girl. Becky was so welcoming on greeting us and making my little girl feel important. The young lady that was working with her was also very attentive and we didn’t have to wait long to be served food or drinks. Our meal itself was lovely 3 courses and was throughly pleased with everything! Well done The Bank House! Becky Rocks

Such a beautiful place to eat and drink. The food is wonderful. All freshly cooked and homemade. Highly recommend. A unique family owned business that offers an extensive menu with a real homely but professionally run feel. Can’t wait to go again!

Good food, reasonable price, attentive staff, clean dining room.

Tasty food. Fantastic service and a lovely atmosphere here at the Bank House. We’ve been here several times and the food is great every single time. It’s our favourite local pub and restaurant.

Beautiful Sunday lunch good value for money

Quiet Thursday lunch with my aged parents. The food is standard pub fare, but very high quality. I've eaten here a few times & the food has always been appetising and good value.

Standard uk pub grub. nice portion sizes. good omelette.

Excellent service Helpful and attentive staff Delicious food

Good pub food at reasonable prices. Friendly and efficient service.

Service was excellent and the food was superb, not sure how they do the Fresh Seafood Tagliatelle for the price. Would definitely recommend and will be going again.

Beautiful pub/restaurant great food

Excellent lunch. Big portions for us pensioners but couldn’t fault the quality

Stopped in for a spot of lunch while travelling through the area. Was so much better quality food than on offer from the takeaways in the local area, as well as offering a really comfortable place to sit and relax. I could easily spend a lot more time here if I was in the area for longer.

Delicious Sunday Lunch 😋 in old fashioned low beams Classic Pub Setting

Excellent food, very friendly staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble

Sunday lunch is always excellent quality. The staff are really lovely, so friendly. Highly recommended

Absolutely stunning food. Also fantastic Sunday lunch 😋

Lovely hot tasty food served by great staff, the charming young male server supported by the team was delightful. Ales and drinks fab 😀 Attentive throughout and our table of six felt really looked after….… thank you.

Our first visit to The Bank House was exceptional. Highest standards of service and great food. We will be back.

1st visit, will not be the last. Great meal. One of the best steak and ale pies ever !.

Great food and attentive service

Visited 06/12/23 for Christmas dinner (15 guests). We were all seated on time and dinner was served at the time stated. Absolutely first class food, piping hot and plenty of it! Excellent atmosphere in this pub, it was busy but the incredibly friendly staff coped extremely well. Without hesitation I would recommend this venue for food and a great selection of drinks.

Probably the best meal I have ever had in a pub, top restaurant quality food . Service was very good, real value for money worth every penny.

Took the family there and my mum and mother-in-law excellent food 👌

Had a lovely late lunch, fab food cooked perfectly and hot. Small things like spotless cutlery means so much, all in all a great lunch and will be back.

2nd time same good service and as my daughter has moved 10mins walk away will enjoy coming regularly

This was our first visit to the Bank House. It had been highly recommended by friends. I can honestly say that this is an amazing little gem of a place. We know our food & this place has a humble menu, which delivers big. Which is refreshing after many, many post covid disappointments. There was eight of us dining and not a bad meal between us. I can strongly recommend the Blade of Beef, Seafood Tagliatelle & the best Pork Belly I have had in many years. Deserts were not shy in their portions & tasted great. I can say this, as I was full after a great starter & main…. but managed to dip a fork into everyone else’s desert for research purposes. I was informed they kept a good pint and a well chosen red by someone who obviously knows their wine there, meant we had a 2015 red for £32 on the table. Amazing! It was a fabulous meal at a very decent price. Thank you to all the staff for their quick service and friendly welcoming smiles too. We had an amazing dining experience. Credit where credit due and we will be back.

What a lovely place for a meal out. Great food, good value, fantastic staff and a lovely setting. If we’re ever back in the area will definitely pay another visit.

Visited whilst spending some time with the family. Lovely food, we had mains from the Winter menu and included Chicken Kiev, Seafood Tagliatelle, Gammon Steak as well as a Mac and Cheese, all very good. lovely service and a nice pint, highly recommended.

Fantastic place. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Clean and contemporary interior with a relaxed atmosphere. Food is amazing. The Chef and kitchen team are clearly dedicated and produce a wonderful choice of expertly prepared and flavoursome dishes. Cheesecake is out of this world. Highly recommended!

Great place to visit, brilliant value for money, Fantastic service, we will definitely be back again, thanks

100% recommendation for the Bank House. Food is wonderful and fresh with fab ingredients was such a refreshing change to have good homemade food. The bar staff where nice and friendly too and the pub is beautiful with the old charm showing at every turn

Great service from all the staff. Friendly welcoming atmosphere. Wow what can I say about the food apart from beautiful, would highly recommend from a romantic meal for two, too sharing good times with friends. Simple excellent!

Nice food in pleasant surroundings and decent service.

It was a very quiet Saturday lunch, hence the reduced atmosphere rating, however the restaurant was spotlessly clean and the service excellent. The choice of food was very good and portion sizes generous, there is an option for smaller plate meals too. As the only vegan in the group I was initially disappointed with the menu, but when I asked which meals could be adapted was pleasantly surprised at the choice and effort they went too to accommodate me, thank you. The deserts too were beautifully presented and the lemon sponge with raspberry sorbet was a wonderful treat. Would recommend.

From minute one the friendliness and service from the staff was first class, the food was amazing, the homemade pies a real delight. Would definitely recommend, great value for the money too.

Stumbled across this place having moved to the area recently. We were really impressed, the food was really good and the portions were massive! For the price really got value for money. The staff were really friendly. We will definitely return!highly recommend

We were recommended the Bank House by a friend. We've now been 3 times in as many weeks. The food is excellent if a little over generous in portion size. The steaks are particularly good.The service is very good and for what you get, it's excellent value for money.

Our first visit here, and it won't be the last. The table d'hote menu offered a good choice in each of three courses and was reasonably priced. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was excellent, well presented and with generous portions.

Our party of 4 friends arrived at 1830hrs on a Friday for a pre-booked table, and were warmly welcomed. Choosing from the extensive menu our main courses were served promptly, and the food was very well presented. All four meals were delicious, and were followed...

Lovely food and well decorated, just a little echoey as fairly quiet. Maybe a few more soft furnishings? Had the best Sunday lunch of the year

Meals are great and the food is cooked well. It’s also a great place to pop into just for a drink with a friendly local atmosphere which can be hard to find these days.

Near excellent experience. Popped in for Sunday lunch on a whim. Was amazed by the courteous service that made me feel wanted and invited. Food was also very good. Would recommend the Bank House, Hixon to anyone in the area.

Excellent steak and ale pie, followed by sticky toffee pudding. Highly recommended 👌

Very good meal with excellent service. Parking is across the road from the pub. Dog friendly but only in the bar. Meals can be served in the bar area. Outdoor seating area as well.

This place was recommended by a local. Called in for a simple lunch, couldn’t resist the steak ciabatta, it was truly delightful, made with love, my pint of cask ale was really good too. Will look forward to revisiting

Best hand made pie I've ever had, service superb by lovely staff and prices reasonable. All four of us had different meals and all cooked perfectly... Couldn't fault the place and happy to recommend this establishment to anyone.

Went there for food for the first time. Really nice atmosphere and great food.

Great food, great service. The place is clean and the service was fast and efficient. Nothing was too much and this was on a Saturday.

Cosy friendly pub with fantastic food and attentive staff. We all had the homemade steak pie which was exceptional. It came with a little jug of gravy and chips and vegetables. For dessert we shared an apple crumble with custard. Again very good indeed. Compliments...
