The Crown in Stafford

Okay since my last review the place has changed hands Ant has left and his steaks were the best cannot comment on new owners yet. Not tried the food yet went in other day thou for a beer only had the 1 and it was flat quite dissapointing so went elsewhere in the village for a pint. Going to give it a 2* but will revisit and try the food see if get that mark up higher. Okay went for a meal 1 week ago end of November considering someone posted week before gave 5* got there bearing in mind advertised food too be told food will be on soon we took it seeing we arrived at 5.30pm it would be say 6pm no problems hmm no we were informed we dont have a chef/cook will be a couple of weeks until someone sorted what a joke and unsblr give a zero rating so went elsewhere in Barlaston had a cracking meal and decent drink. Thought have look see if restarted doing food only problem is on tripadvisor it shows the old menu so well out of date seems like they dont do it anymore seems they have visiting food vendors in vans instead so may give it a go.

My family has been regular customers of The Bank House for years, but after tonight’s experience, we will not be returning. My parents had a reservation for steak night at 7:00 PM, but when they mentioned it to the staff, they were told there were no steaks available. After some back and forth, the staff member confirmed there was sirloin, but they would have to wait 10 minutes, which was fine. Then, they were told it would be an additional 5 minutes. However, an hour and 15 minutes later, still no food had arrived. The waitress’s attitude was incredibly rude, as she snapped, "I told you there was a wait." To top it off, when my parents decided to leave at 8:15 PM with no food in sight, a bar staff member rudely said, “Thankssss” as they walked out. It’s clear that the service and quality have taken a sharp decline, likely due to a change in staff. This was a disappointing end to many years of coming to this restaurant, and we will not be returning

Welcoming friendly pub with a lovely added extra of the locals dogs that visit 💕 We've been a few times for family meals thank you Jamie for delicious food, the staff are wonderful, so helpful and nothings to much, a great atmosphere.
