The Dog and Doublet Inn in Stafford

Forgot almost half of my order 😂

The Shrewsbury Arms is one of those traditional pubs with lots of nooks, crannies and little snugs. Add a roaring, real fire and it is cosiness at its best. There were the ubiquitous tellies on the walls for sport but, in much more traditional vein, there was also a large selection of board games for those of that persuasion. We were happy enough just to enjoy our beers by the fire, which felt particularly luxurious on such a freezing cold evening. Service was nice and this is a really good pub.

Love the place. So clean,food is good, members of staff are amazing.

My twin boys and grandmother visited Cadalders at Trentham estate today and as per the last 8 years went to purchase a child’s teddy cone ice cream each - when asked what flavor they requested the dairy free vanilla due to a lactose intolerance they were told that it was not possible to have a teddy cone with this ice cream type and only if they purchased a full adult cone! I am appalled that despite being challenged at the time the answer was “that’s the rules, feel free to eat a normal ice cream!!!” so you are prepared to make a child seriously ill or demand additional monies – either is unacceptable, unethical practise and you should be utterly disgraced to operate your business in this way.

Called in today for a lunch , usually I have a morning Cappuchino and delicious teacake but today went for a Cappuchino and Cheese and onion toasty which was delicious! Came with an ample pot of Coleslaw and salad Lovely Crusty bread, I also had a "small" glass of the House Ros which was one of the nicest I have tasted and fully complemented the meal.
