Wonderful meal at The Bull last weekend. Our server Lauren was exceptional and went the extra mile in ensuring 1 of the guests food requirements were met and was extremely helpful and genuinely interested in understanding more about the dietary requirements as they weren’t as simple as some allergies such as GF or dairy intolerance. Eating out can be stressful trying to ensure the kitchen are well informed of the requirements and Lauren certainly was 💯 with checking everything would be ok which it was. Thank you for making our visit a pleasurable experience. Food was delicious and all the staff were friendly.

Extremely busy on Sunday. Long wait for booked table. Need to move people on or allow for longer between bookings. Carvery in a niche and can cause congestion for those queuing and others trying to move about

The roasted pork belly was excellent and to finish the meal off, I had a tiramisu which was excellent too. Topped off with great service from team leader Rachel who magically produced a steak knife just after I asked for it. Well worth a visit. Don't worry the cider was non-alcoholic.

We are a local couple, regularly in for drinks. The bar staff are a wonderful eclectic mix of personalities and everyone of them are a delight. I must mention Lauren, she is forever smiling and always gives her 100% effort to make you feel the most important person at the bar. This pub is fantastic and a joy to have on my doorstep. Please do not forget to remember the drinkers in this wonderful pub, I know food is where the money is, but the rating for atmosphere is based on the lack of tables available in what has been set as the drinking area but is regularly used to take in overflow bookings and in turn ruins the drinkers atmosphere.

Thought classier than the lime tree .. but sadly no different. Full of chavs with tats sat without tshirts as a nice day yesterday, so they thought this was appropriate. Whilst they let their kids kick footballs around other people's tables and at the neighbouring houses fence panels. Dogs off the lead and filthy tables not cleared of glasses and plates. Not for us.

Seated and attended to very promptly and in a timely manner throughout. Great menu and all reasonably priced. Settled on the carvery pretty quickly and was not disappointed. All felt freshly cooked and not mass produced. Good choice of desserts too. Overall a great place for food. Will definitely return when we're back this way visiting family again.

Had lunch here with my wife. Unfortunately was waiting 40 minutes after ordering, still no food. The only reason this review is 3 star ⭐⭐⭐ and not 1 star ⭐. Is due to how they handled my complaint about keeping us waiting 40 minutes. The waiter had taken our order but forgotten to give to kitchen. He came to us explained his mistake & apologised. He took ownership of his mistake without excuses. Then retook our order & guaranteed our food would be on our table is 10 minutes. Plus we would eat for free (no charge). The food was very well prepared & cooked. Enjoyed the taste & flavours very much. The atmosphere was lovely very well presented. As you walk in to restaurant outside there is a little foot bridge. That crosses over a stream, which is a very nice. Will eat here again & hopefully I can give them 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐.

An Absolute Gem in the Heart of the Countryside! I’m not from around the area, but during my stay, I found myself coming back to The Staff of Life Pub every single day—and with good reason! The food here is simply out of this world. From the mouth-watering tapas, which were a delightful mix of flavors and textures, to the traditional roast dinner that was as comforting as it was delicious, everything was cooked to perfection. And don’t even get me started on the apple pie—it’s truly to die for. Each bite was a slice of heaven, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Beyond the food, the ambience of the pub is fantastic. It has that perfect blend of warm, cozy, and welcoming, with a lively atmosphere that makes you feel at home, whether you're a regular or just passing through. The décor is charming, and the subtle lighting creates a wonderfully relaxed vibe. What really made my experience special was the incredible service, particularly from Sharon. She is such a gem—warm, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Sharon made sure that every visit was memorable and went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect. Whether you're local or just visiting, The Staff of Life is a must-visit. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are simply unbeatable. I’ll definitely be back!

Stayed here overnight, the room was beautiful and spotless ditto bathroom. We opted to eat in the restaurant and the food was delicious and plentiful, it’s probably the best vegetarian lasagne I’ve eaten, there was a good choice for vegetarians , my husband really enjoyed the gammon. We were both so full we couldn’t manage a pudding. The bar was really busy but we couldn’t hear a word from our room. I slept for nearly 9 hours which is rare for me. The staff were attentive but not overbearing, they are certainly an asset to the business that’s for certain. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

This very unassuming place is golden - we popped in after seeing Darlaston play Harborough yesterday and were looking for somewhere cosy to watch the West Ham vs Man City game. The locals were amazing, welcomed us like old friends and the lovely guy behind the bar was polite and professional. It's a very cosy place to watch football - they don't serve food on Saturday night but they do serve on a Sunday for lunch, which was a bit of a shame as we didn't want to leave. There's a fish and chip shop a few doors down and one of the footy guys said we'd probably be able to eat that in the pub. I can't thank the pub for being so lovely and their locals, I say this a lot, it's very rare to experience this and I really recommend this place if you're in the area and near the football ground, rather than going into town.

I had the lunchtime deal which is definitely good value for money, however, the spring rolls starter was swimming in oil on the plate. The rice in the sweet and sour dish had clumps of white rice in it and was warm. Food was served quickly which may be why the above issues occurred. They should slow down and check the food before serving. All in all, disappointing on this occasion.
