The Courtyard Bar And Restaurant in South Staffordshire

We live pretty close to the Courtyard Bistro but didn’t realise it had opened in August - until now. What a great find! Lovely people, incredibly friendly. Food is very reasonably priced, service is great and the venue/surroundings are really nice. Highly recommended! Now we’ve found it we will definitely be back!

I had a light lunch which was served just as i'd wanted. The hot chocolate was a must and the customer service was very good.

The worst sandwich I have EVER eaten. Over a 20 minute wait to receive cold soggy food. Do not reccomend! Not value for money.

Really lovely and good value breakfast, all beautifully cooked. We had the small breakfast but was a generous portion. All delicious including the coffee. All set in a stylish, relaxed restaurant with lovely staff. Highly recommend!

Popped in this morning for breakfast, Leslie was very welcoming and took our order, no fuss. The food arrived hot and delicious and coffee was too. Many thanks to all concerned. Will definitely be back again. PS Lots to look forward to in the coming months, keep an eye out for forthcoming events.

Excellent lunch menu, really good value for money, I had soup and sandwich special 12-1pm and it was tasty and fresh. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the tables are wide and well set up. The menu offers a wide range of lunch items and also offers breakfast until 12. All the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

Very nice place. Food tasty and reasonably priced.

Food is amazing, service is amazing and the staff are SUPER friendly. Not only is this the perfect place for food and customer service quality but the whole place is stunning!

I come here daily for breakfast or lunch sometimes even both! The staff are so welcoming and the food is addictive its so nice!!

Lovely Building with a Real modern feel and the Food was Hot and Fresh. Will definitely keep going on my lunch break.

Working on the site and loosing the bistro accessibility I was thoroughly disappointed after receiving these atrocious dirty fries for a lunch break takeaway. Bring back the bistro!

Update 27th July 2023 - I understand that they are reopening in the next few weeks with an new management team focused on a more Bistro Style offering. I've tried some secret samples from the new Chef who is a real Kitchen God. They were varied, and tasty! On December 5th 2022 I popped in for a drink to check out this interesting new eatery and was very impressed with it all. It has a fantastic laid back ambiance and I will be returning later in December for a Meal with my Nearest and Dearest as the food I saw being served looked mouth watering. Today I went back for a Meal as I was tempted by the food and couldn't wait any longer to try it. I started with the Carrot and Honey Soup which was a lovely balance of slightly spicy and sweet without being overpowering either way; a difficult balance to achieve, my compliments to the skill of the Chefs This was followed by a Pasta Dish - Chicken and Pesto Pappardelle (done al dente). This came as a good large portion and was creamy and flavourful. I had this with sweet potato fries which unusually did not require any extra seasoning, they were just right. The fries defeated me, so I took them home to have for breakfast the next day so that I had room for a pudding. Pudding was a nice light and sharp Lemon sorbet. I so many other places they are either too soft, or like crushed ice with Lemon Flavour. This one was smooth and the right side of firm without being hard. I finished off with an Americano which had good Crema and was served in a nice big cup/mug. Outside they have a lovely courtyard which is currently decorated for Christmas and has some beautiful patio burners. As you would expect for a new Restaurant, it is a little quieter, so Id advise you to get a booking in as soon as you can before it becomes too hard to get a table. I heartily recommend this place for laid back comfy dining with good company, who I will be returning with soon :-)

Chief lovely young girls lovely Manageress rude We didn’t enjoy food But I have to say chief manager amazing came out helped us, The manageress attitude was well I’m not taking off the bill your first to complain Shocking , We own business’s manager should take compliant s and be polite That’s business , Chief manager dealt with all lovely man , And sorted it all out , we eat out every weekend , not carvery Staffordshire bar and grill The malt The masons The ivy

We have eaten here before and it was nice and we were looking to come back. However, I am very disappointed. I had made a booking well in advance, a several weeks after I had made the booking I was asked to pay £90 (not made clear if this was the total amount or if it was a deposit?). Cut forward to today I have received an email off a third party company (Concordia Group Limited) saying my booking is cancelled as "the kitchen is unavailable" (???). Due to how close it is to the event its very difficult to find anywhere else to accommodate us and just to rub salt into the wound my £90 will be "refunded in due course" - what defines due course is anyone's guess. It's unlikely that we will return, if we can't make a booking in confidence and the Restaurant can't communicate any issues they may have then I would rather take my business elsewhere.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Good service. Lovely decor.

Lovely place, relaxing, wonderful staff and delicious food. Just a couple of niggles that made us mark experience down. Plates were cold, therefore made meat and roasted vegetables go cold quickly. Side vegetables and gravy were hot 👍 No spoon supplied for side vegetables. Cheese board, no cutlery supplied. Would definitely go back. Hopefully next time full marks.

Lovely cosy restaurant that we have visited regularly since opening. A great team that always look after your on your visit. Sad to see on this particular visit a table that was purposely being difficult but the team handled it so well as I may have not been able to do so!!! Hats off to you all. First time having the Sunday Roast dinner and it was just delicious! We will continue to keep coming back :)

Where to start, this is the second time I have visited The Courtyard. We visited in December and I have to say it was spot on, the service was great and the food was amazing. However 3 weeks later I don’t know what has gone on but it has certainly gone downhill. The lack of management was evident as all we saw was a young manager looking girl sat in the corner tapping away at her laptop looking reluctant to get involved in any part of the service, the two young girls waiting on us and the bar did an excellent job they just looked like a bit of support wouldn’t have hurt. What shocked us most was the difference in food, on our previous visit the food was piping hot well seasoned and the portions were spot on(my husband loved the duck cottage pie) I don’t know if the chef was taking the day off today or has just lost his passion but the whole experience has left a sour taste. The portion sizes were tiny the food was bland and Luke warm at best. Toby carvery it is next time I think. I think we will avoid this venue for the near future.

Visited this new restaurant 29/12/2022 after receiving a flyer in the village before Christmas. Whilst it’s a little out of the way, it’s a gem of a find with a cosy atmosphere and attentive service. Food was delicious with good value for money portion sizes. Penkridge needs more venues like this. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely aesthetic, friendly staff would definitely recommend going.

Lovely new restaurant, great atmosphere and lovely interiors. Great food and drink selection. We visited as a group of friend on a Thursday night, all Of us really enjoyed the food and the staff were really lovely and attentive. Great addition to the are! We will be back

Exquisite food in a superb setting that's ideal for everything from a business meeting to a special occasion or a relaxed lunch with friends, this is a new treasure to discover in Staffordshire. The staff were also outstanding. If you're looking for a memorable place to grab some quality food that's worth talking about make a visit a priority.

Fantastic restaurant decorated to the highest standard. There is an amazing choice of vegetarian, meat & fish dishes. The puddings were delicious too. We went for a night out with friends but it would be excellent for a group/party or just a quiet meal as a couple. The covered Courtyard has gas burners & regular live music evenings. Highly recommended, we will return very soon.

Attentive service with impeccably prepared and well presented food. Cozy atmosphere in a warm and welcoming setting. We will definitely be back here on a regular basis!

Myself and all my family, had outstanding meals on Saturday. I had the Turkey dinner, which was exceptional. 👏👏 Service by Rhianna and her team, was also first-class- all in great and welcome surroundings. Can't wait to dine there again!

Whilst Penkridge has expanded dramatically in recent years good places to eat has certainly not kept place so it was with great interest we visited The Courtyard last Thursday. The reviews we had read were complementary and our experience was in line with what others had written. The restaurant has a relaxed and intimate feel, the staff were very attentive and professional and the menu had plenty of variety. We were very impressed and will certainly be back.

Went here last night for a meal with my husband, and had a fantastic time. We loved the food and first class service. Highly recommended!

Great customer service, brilliant food, will definitely visit again

I don't normally leave reviews, but just visited here for the 1st time, and will definitely be coming back. Me and my wife were both were impressed with the great service and really loved the food (so much so we tried each others lol). She espwcially liked the cocktails, and me the red wine. What more can I say about this hidden gem!

Went in to check out and was chuffed with the meal and service provided. This really is a hidden gem and well worth the visit. Enjoyed it so much I popped back in for a couple beers after work.

Really nice restaurant, friendly staff, nice decor and tasty food.

Took interest in the recent FB posting & went for lunch with my wife today. What a find. Beautiful, multi-purpose venue - the restaurant area has excellent, tasteful vibe (and walking up I actually ‘wow’d’ at the heated patio area), attentive and naturally friendly staff, truly excellent food. Will 100% be a regular. It’s got my brain ticking for corporate and family do’s too. It’s that good 👍🏻

Well what can I say . First time dinning at the restaurant. we were greeted by friendly staff who took our coats when we first arrived. We were then shown to our table by the friendly waitress who couldn't do enough for us . The food was amazing from starters through to deserts. So well done to the chefs . And as for the restaurant itself it's stunning. The staff are so friendly. Myself and my husband will definitely be dinning here again .

amazing venue, great atmosphere. food was all fresh and tasted amazing.

Outstanding Theme! Responsive Staff! Exquisite Cuisine! Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again! Fit for events, celebrations or anniversaries and even a small night out!

Great restaurant, great food, friendly staff and a lovely vibe👌🏽

What a gorgeous new restaurant to Penkridge and Stafford area!!! The restaurant and outdoor heated area is so beautiful! Our meal was faultless and the team couldn’t do enough to make sure we were looked after. We will be back guys and best of look with the new venture :)

First time here with my family food was lovey service was slower than Iiked. There was a bar area too though where workmen were sitting and said the odd swear word with our two younger kids present not loud bit shouldn’t have happened. Overall good but need to decide if restaurant or bar area for people finishing work.

Wow. Dined here on the first night. Great food, atmosphere and staff. Highly recommended.

My Wife and I have just visited the Courtyard Restaurant which has just opened. I'm glad we did. The highlight for me was the Steak and my wife loved the Sticky pork 'Lolipops'. I thought the atmosphere was nice and the team there, while new, were pretty much on top of things - very friendly. I visit the area occasionally and have usually had dinner at the pub in Dunston - it's nice but this is my new favorite. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Visited here on opening evening, was an excellent evening, food and cocktails were delicious, all the staff welcoming and attentive, would definitely recommend, can't wait to return 🙂

Great menu, good service, reasonably priced..

Great bar and restaurant with friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Top quality food very friendly would definitely go again

What an amazing experience, family meal in beautiful surroundings, food was delicious, and so we're the cocktails.Staff were very welcoming and attentive,fabulous atmosphere, definitely recommend, can't wait to return 😊

Wouldn't waste your money here, looks great on the pictures, but sits well below standard in terms of real quality.

Over the weekend we went for breakfast/ brunch, the food was top tier, service was excellent and the atmosphere was cosy and warm, perfect for a romantic night or even a Christmas party!

Went to this new Restaurant on the opening evening out of curiosity, WOW !!! A beautiful looking and superbly decked out place with very friendly staff, special mention for Jamie our waiter who was excellent. Food was also fab, looking forward to returning soon. If you get the chance then go along and have a fantastic evening as we all did.

This is such a lovely place. The setting is amazing. All of the staff were awesome! They were so friendly and attentive, always checking up on our table. The only negative thing is the location. I found it hard to find to park and also...
