The Golden Cup in East Staffordshire

Room was absolutely freezing. Asked numerous times for the heating to be put on but Billy failed to turn it on. Will never return.

I visited this pub this evening with a few friends, I was absolutely shocked to see the owner who I believe his name is Billy having an argument with a young girl outside, he was in her face pointing his finger and seemed very angry, I could hear the young girl trying to apologise for her young son being noisy for the last time they visited, from what I gather he had ask the young lady and the young boy to leave the last time they were in there. The young lady was very upset, crying and he still seemed very aggressive towards her. He himself seemed very drunk and from what I can gather from regulars this is a common thing. I will not be coming back and would not recommend to others

The Golden Cup is nice, friendly place to stay in a lovely village about 6 miles from the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are polite and attentive. Billy, the landlord, makes sure your stay is as pleasant as possible. There are comprehensive information sheets in each room about local facilities including Dr's, dentists etc. The breakfast is plentiful and varied. The evening menu is sufficient to cater to most tastes and freshly cooked by an excellent chef. Priced at a reasonable amount. Overall a very pleasant stay. So much so that we have already booked our stays for next year. The staff make it worth returning. Thank you.

An excellent room with toiletries in the bathroom but rather thin towels. Adequate breakfast with gluten free options let down by instant coffee.

My company booked a room for me and a colleague. My room was very dated there was cobweb's in the bathroom. The window didn’t close, the blinds didn’t close and neither did the curtains and it’s situated on a very busy road where a lot of Lorrie’s go past. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable and the lights in the hallway were switched off. At breakfast there only seemed to be one person around and barely any options for food other than a fry up. I wouldn’t want to stay here again.

Having read the reviews we weren’t expecting a lot from our meal. The restaurant was quiet at lunchtime, only us two couples and an elderly couple in there. There appeared to be only two exceptionally young members of staff waiting on. After a considerable wait our order was taken and the elderly couple had started to complain as there was no sign of their food and they needed to be at home to meet visitors. They were becoming increasingly frustrated and asked several times where their meal was. We were waiting too. Eventually, ours was served, the ‘home made’ pie was not hot and my curry was unappetising. My husbands gammon was rubbery. The elderly couple still were waiting. We ordered desserts which I have to say were good, at this point the apologetic waitress brought out the other meals. If I had been them, I would have walked out. Let’s just say, we won’t be returning, there was no sign of a landlord/landlady and the poor youngsters were completely unprepared.

Only stopped for coffee but delightful old pub, friendly barmaid (despite our southern accents!), clean loos, and the sun came out so we could enjoy their beautiful garden.

Absolutely bloody awful. Once ok pub has been ruined. Previously lovely beer garden now resembles some kind of Blackpool homage to Vegas.

We came here for an overnight stay. I chose it because I had lived in the village until Covid and had enjoyed meals here before. The rooms were a very good size, very clean and comfortable. Considering this is on the main road you can also enjoy a very quiet night's sleep. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast here as well. The food was excellent, the portions a good size and at a very reasonable price. I will not hesitate in staying here again.

Probably up there with the worst meal I’ve ever had the displeasure of . I don’t think one dish out of 6 was actually was enjoyed. Gammon resembled a piece of leather, chicken burger dripping in grease, and I could go on sadly

Another great night food very good, landlady and staff were very nice and friendly we will be going back soon.

Manger rude -staff have no customer service skills. After reading previous reviews the manager doesn’t even care how she speaks to people

What a great night eight of us had a meal and sweet, great staff and landlady we will all be going back again.

A huge thank you to the Golden Cup team. Had a wonderful family meal, home cooked food, good choice, home made chips were delicious as was the Cod, what a whopper it was! A very warm and friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. It was very touching to see the care and attention given to an elderly disabled customer dining there. We will definitely be back

Being a devout "foody" we were advised to visit the "Cup" in Yoxall. Well what a pleasant surprise real English food served as you would expect in a most pleasant atmosphere by excellent staff. Well done all. You'll be seeing me again account as I can make it. God on yer.

It’s is a rubbish place to to eat. the person taking the order has an attitude problem, the food came out without all of the order. would not go there again

A huge thankyou to Rachael and Greg for holding my little boys 2nd birthday party in the garden, it was a fabulous day enjoyed by everyone! The staff were all so friendly and accommodating, the buffet was perfect and delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough we visit frequently and are always met with a warm welcome, the food is incredible. We love this pub!

Very outdated decor inside looks like a blackpool b&b ,and an extremely rude old woman that did not want to serve us ,we will definitely not be returning ! The only nice thing was the pretty beer garden !

Arrived at 6pm.spoken to by manager owner very abrupt and unfriendly. Spoke to other guests they had the same opinion. Menu very standard uninspiring no Intention to visit there again.

Nice pub and beautiful gardens but it was raining so we couldn't sit out. They advertise the food as homemade, it isn't. The standard was poor and my sisters cod had bones in it. I think the garlic mushrooms were bought from Iceland so they aren't worth the £7.50. The waitresses were nice girls however the landlady was very unwelcoming and hostile.

Tuesday night Steak Night. Fabulous value and service by Rachel and her team! Great food old classics. Impeccably clean surroundings and super efficient and friendly staff. Super value for money with wine included as part of the deal.

Booked two days before, arrived after an hour drive to be told no food by a very hostile and unfriendly lady. Didn't care that we had booked and couldn't care less. No apology. Avoid at all costs.

We visited The Golden Cup for a mid week meal, the meal was good value and the majority of the staff very pleasant, however the lady front of house was extremely rude, unpleasant and not just to our group. In 40years of visiting pubs I’ve never experienced this type of behaviour. But the younger staff very pleasant and attentive

If I could rate this place 0 stars I would. The landlady is unwelcoming and mocking. She became aggressive as we only had card, but didn’t express the need for cash until my drink was poured. There is a cult-like feel to the pub and you are ignored if you’re not a local.

Went into the lounge area of the pub, as my husband had booked a table for us. He went to order us two drinks but was met with ‘ if you’re just having drinks I’ll serve you in the bar’ my husband went on to say ‘we’ve actually booked a table for two!’ So rude and not a smile in sight from the landlady. She then pointed to our table and told us to order at the bar. We ordered starters and main courses. The starters were nothing special and for £7.50 were very much on the small side. Our main courses were no bigger with just a bowl of chips to share ( presented in a dessert bowl) The menu stated main courses came with vegetables but all we got were peas! We certainly won’t be bothering again and I suggest you don’t either. I’ve told my husband in future to read trip advisor reviews for a place. If he’d have read the ones here I’m sure he wouldn’t have bothered and at least the rude landlady wouldn’t have come as such a shock!

Friendly welcome and service, and given a table in the bar as restaurant full. However, it cold and there was a smell of blocked drains The fish was large and well cooked, unfortunately the steak and kidney pie was a size suitable for a young...

First visit to this pub and have to say the welcoming was brilliant. Every member of staff were very helpful and friendly. We had the Sunday lunch which didn’t disappoint. Three courses followed by coffee and after eight mint for £18.50 and was worth every...

As usual this pub stands out for quality plus being there ALL OF THE TIME unlike its competitor down the high street!

We stayed for 2 nights and the service and attention to detail was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was enormous - enough to fill you up for the day. The menu is varied, fresh and cooked to order. It’s obvious that this...

To class the land lady as miserable would be the understatement of the year. If you are not a regular local forget this place. Looks lovely form the outside but had a poisonous vile attitude inside. Shame. Could be lovely

The Golden Cup is the perfect family venue. We were very kindly reserved a lovely covered eating area in the superb garden. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the good served with a smile. Sunday lunch, although a limited choice, was tasty and...

Visited April 2022. Firstly the grounds and setting are exquisite. So much time and care has clearly been taken. The atmosphere is great, a great family vibe and equally fantastic for food and or drinks with friends. The food is incredible, really hearty country pub...

My partner and I visited for a quick bite to eat as the venue we were attending didn't serve food. We walked in as the landlady was having a right go at one of the young waitresses saying the tables weren't being cleared quick enough...

Popped in here for drinks with our granddaughter and she loved the large play area and field, kept her entertained for a hour or so. Place itself is clean with a good choice of drinks on offer at a reasonable price, staff where polite and...

Oh my God what a fantastic place. Haven’t been to the Golden Cup for a while …. With work commitments and all this bloody Covid Pandemic problems. The food and the service was exceptional. Not had a Sunday lunch like that for ages. Thank you...

Nice little country pub. Has a 'quaint' atmosphere inside, has a lot of potential but looks a bit dated, like visiting your grannie's sitting room. Visiting early evening in November we couldn't sample the beer garden, would like to think we'd return in the summer...

Ok so... on arrival we had mixed opinions of the landlady... she seemed to belittle the young Members of staff who did a fantastic Job!! They were lovely but seemed very afraid of the landlady (Racheal).... myself and my husband stayed here for two nights...

Wow. Visited The Golden Cup blindly today, as we were exploring the area and it looked a lovely pub (with a beautiful beer garden that we made use of). We were very impressed by the size of the beer garden and felt covid-safe with the...

Had an evening meal at the Golden Cup this Saturday 11th.September. Only had two mains and two deserts but was pleasantly surprised to be served good wholesome food by experienced people. Coming again on this Thursdsy for the scooter rally can't wait.

This is our third visit & the last We have noticed that the female manager has a very uncouth manner with her...not only with us but other members of our group. How on earth she is still in the customer service industry amazers us ....

Good food, great service and pleasant surroundings. Traditional village pub. All you need for a good meal, husband especially enjoyed the recommended local cider.

As the title to this review suggests the food was absolutely delicious! However, this was severely overshadowed by the incredibly rude owner / manager who met us at the door. We were honestly spoken to in such a manner that we were shocked and her...

We visited for my mum's birthday. We aren't local to the area, and my mum has just moved here so she booked a table here (as it had an outdoor play area for the children). My sister, her partner and their children (10, 8 and...

Rachel and the team , welcoming as always . Food excellent . Very enjoyable evening . Will be returning as soon as possible . Highly recommended

Only had sandwich & Chips so really cant comment on the restaurant food, Sorry my reply is short, it wasnt open for indoor meals

We are always impressed with the hospitality received from Racheal and Greg . They are always so kind and accommodating. Despite the bar closure we still managed to order our taket away Supper by phone and collect it 10 minutes later. The food was hot,...

lovely pub and beautiful people especially Rachel lovely lady very misunderstood food was fantastic 😁😁👍👍

The guys have been here since September 1996 and love them or hate them they have consistently produced good pub grub with a lovely beer garden at the rear. Racheal is well know locally for her tremendous support of the elderly in the Village. Well...

Drove passed here a few days ago, decided to visit today. Lovely lunch, welcoming staff. Wonderful beer garden. Relaxing atmosphere. Good COVID-19 rule adherence. Highly recommended.

We visited this pub after a very long bike ride, hoping for some lovely refreshment. We were met with a confusing one way system, as staff walked past unwilling to help. All staff walked past looking at us as if we were in the way....

The queuing system is slow & laborious. Not allowed around the front of the pub. Two real ales. But you not allowed to see what is actually at the bar because you can’t go inside, so have no idea what you can order. Made to...

On arrival the owner/manager's attitude was very brusque as the weekend progressed it did not improve we spent almost a £1,000 at the golden cup accommodation camping and dining it's not the fact that we paid that amount collectively it was tainted but the very...

After being in lockdown and living on our own we 3 ladies decided to have our first visit out since March to The Golden Cup.This absolutely beautiful spotlessly clean establishment was following all the government guide lines and we felt very safe.The food we had was absolutely delicious with everything cooked freshly.The service was excellent.We had a first class evening one for our memory boxes.The staff are so welcoming, nothing too much trouble for them at all.We will certainly be returning here in the very near future.We recommend this establishment without any hesitation what so ever.The gardens are so beautiful as are the flowers a lovely place to sit on a beautiful day.

Had a wonderful breakfast before heading off to the races. A huge thank you to Rachael and Greg for fitting us in even though you were extremely busy with the other parties doing the same, shame about the one fella who was rather unnecessarily rude...thought you handled it admirably.Will be back to see you very soon

Visted here today with my brother, son, daughter-in-law and Grandson.Friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic starter, Sunday roast, Pudding and tea and biscuits.I had Lamb which was delicious served with soft roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage and peas. Best Sunday roast I've had in ages.Would definitely be going again and telling family and friends, about this gem of a find.

Me and my partner drove up from Birmingham to Yoxall for a family party and stayed over night at the Golden Cup. The double room was very clean, tidy and smelt fresh, definitely well worth the money! The breakfast the next morning was delicious. All staff we encountered were friendly. Only criticism, the pressure of the shower was way to powerful for my liking. Comfy cosy room and nice bar! Recommended

Dropped lucky when we rang looking for a weekend break. We’d checked out the website and decided to give them a call for more info....much easier and a more personal touch to ring about reservations, don’t like booking through email. The owner couldn’t be more helpful, it also enabled us to book a table in the restaurant, so glad we did this when we spoke to them on the phone as they were very busy during our stay.Wonderful place, lovely owners and staff, will definitely be back

The Golden Cup is one at the most consistent places that we go to.We eat out three times a week on average in all sorts of eateries five star hotels, restaurants etc but The Golden Cup is the most consistent with never ever a bad meal. The choice of menu is excellent with a blackboard of specials everything is cooked freshly and presented beautifully. The food is of good quality and is certainly value for money.The staff are very helpful, nothing too much trouble and very welcoming as are the owners.An absolute pleasure to spend our money at this little piece of 24 carat gold which is a real gem. We most certainly recommend without hesitation.

I stayed at the Golden Cup during annual visits to the area from 2011 until 2015, and I've had lunch at the pub during visits in subsquent years. The accommodation is clean, cosy and ensuite, with a filling English breakfast included in the (reasonable) bill. In general, the food is average in quality and the menu choices are bland, but pub itself is historic and fairly well-maintained.So, what's the problem and why a rating of 'poor'? The process of booking rooms became so tiresome that I simply gave up trying. Despite having a website (containing an email address and a web booking form) which states that web and phone bookings are welcome, I've never received a response to email or webform enquiries. When I've phoned, I've either had to wait for a callback that never came or, when I actually succeeded in making a phone booking and asked for written confirmation, the socially challenged landlady informed me that 'we don't do that'.Having finally tired of worrying about the possibility of turning up only to discover that the dates of our stay had been recorded incorrectly, and with the opening of new businesses in the area who provide instant confirmation via booking.com and send courteous follow-up emails (such as Woodshoot B and B in Kings Bromley), I ditched the Cup. Last week, in a fit of nostalgia, I decided to try the Cup again. Same old, same old - no response to the webform enquiry and when I called, the landlady was her usual rude self. She even informed me that they only take phone bookings (thereby contradicting the information on the website).TLDR - nice enough B and B, but the booking system is about 40 years out of date and the landlady has no customer service skills. Now that much better providers are active in the area, I won't bother with the Cup again - they are more hassle than they are worth.

We have just had a family birthday lunch at ‘The Golden cup’ and were made to feel really special. The lunch was for my daughter’s 14’th birthday, and there was a personalised balloon and banners at the table which made the lunch extra special for her. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was good and plentiful. Thank you so much, we will return. X

The Golden Cup is simply faultless in all areas cleanliness, standard of food, beautiful gardens and the staff are pleasant polite and welcoming as our the owners Rachel and her husband. I can recommend this establishment without hesitation and look forward to returning for another faultless visit.

The car park is not marked as belonging to the restaurant. It backs onto a green space with football nets, again not marked as belonging to The golden cup. On our way to Dovedale, we stopped and spread our picnic blanket and started our sandwiches with our 9 year old grandson. The owner approached us, said we had no manners, said we would be asking to use the toilet, leaving litter and doing her out of business, We are 2 responsible 70 year olds, never leave litter and apologised immediately. she then told our grandson "You grandpa has no manners" . We had been planning to have drinks at the restaurant after our sandwiches.

Went here for lunch meal was very nice, food excellent, Paula was very friendly and had a laugh with us about the Very Very slow Ester in our party.The four courses cost £14.95 well worth the money, There are two lunch time sittings 12 mid day and then 1.45pm. Then restart serving at 6pm.We had coffee in the bar area so men could watch football.There is plenty of outdoor seating plus a children’s play area.

Took my daughter for lunch, I was told rather abruptly that I wasn’t allowed to order food at the bar and had to go round to the hatch. Was then served by the same woman! Was told I wasn’t able to pay contactless as that could be subject to fraud. She then put my card in the machine, walked off out of sight behind the bar and came back after about 30 seconds, not impressed to say the least, so clearly not too worried about actual card fraud! Food was average but the pub itself and beer garden are excellent.

We visited as a party of 14 booked for Sunday lunch to celebrate our brother in laws 50th birthday. We arrived to find banners, bunting and personalised balloons and a warm welcome. Food was great. Above and beyond what we expected!!! A great time was had by all.

Shockingly rude owner!!! Not to mention average food. Do yourself a favour- go elsewhere

I stopped here for a meal at the end of a long journey, the beer garden was enticing. Boy did I make a mistake. I asked for a steak, medium, with potatoes. My husband had pie’. My steak was rubbery and well done, not medium. The ‘pie’ was a pastry lid on a sloppy ( yet tasty) filling. We were given 6 tinned potatoes between up. The meal cost me £28. I asked for tap water and was given it in plastic tumblers ‘because you’re not paying for it’. The owner was rude to the point of offensive and the food was, at best, average home cooking and at worst (in the case of my steak) a complete rip off. Honestly there are two other pubs in the village, go to them!

A group of four of us went for lunch on Bank Holiday Monday (booking essential). This was our first experience of the Golden Cup and it will not be our last. First thing I noticed was the decor which was tasteful and smart. There was a touch of class about the place. Second thing was the staff, all polite, professional and personable. Service was of a good standard. Thirdly, although the menu was not huge there was something acceptable to everyone. The food was timely delivered, piping hot and of a high quality. We had between us, Chicken Supreme, Salmon and Beef Steak, all were excellent and very good value. Menu prices were typical for pub food, but here the quality was definitely a notch higher. We will return when in the area. Highly recommended.

Excellent throughout the golden cup at yoxall really does tick al the box’s well done Clean friendly service spot on Excellent

A very nice owner who allowed our group to park at the pub while taking a tour of the place and returning to dine. A mix-up meant we had to find somewhere else to eat, which is fine as these things happen. What I very much objected to was the sheer insolence of the member of staff who spoke to us as if we were something she had trodden in. Why anyone would would employ such an individual when she clearly has no idea of how to deal with the public is mystifying. I'm sure the food is quite excellent and I've heard very good things about it, hopefully you'll be served by someone else.

Atmosphere, staff, cleanliness - all excellent. The menu is restricted and I would normally have had a vegetarian meal, even though I am not a vegetarian by choice.

I have just taken a group of 17 walkers for a Sunday lunch and cannot comment to highly on this pub. Tables were nicely laid, everywhere was spotless, food was served quickly, nicely presented, nice temperature. We were asked if anyone wanted more vegetables. Although the main course was only beef , turkey or vegetarian, there was a very good selection of starters and sweets. Everyone said the meal and service was excellent and at £14.25 for a 3 course lunch plus coffee & biscuit you can't go wrong.

For a really well cooked and plentiful meal this is the place to go.The waiting staff are all very friendly and polite. Although the one downside is the rather brusque manner of the landlady, who tends to exhibit a somewhat unfriendly attitude for some reason. However, the pub does have a very varied menu and the meals are extremely good value for money. Have dined here quite a few times and have always been really well satisfied with the meal and the price. (landlady apart, can well recommend).

Not been for a while, but as we expected, very welcoming, great service, great food, lovely and clean throughout.A special mention for Isabelle, a confident, and lovely young lady who waited on our table.We will visit again and would highly recommend it

We re-visited the Golden Cup for lunch before visiting the local spa hotel. We have been a couple of times before and have never been disappointed. My wife and I ordered the salad, expecting a salad, then this vision of taste and colour arrived. The presentation and taste was easily as good as the 5star spa meals so for a pub to serve this was outstanding. We visited on a Monday afternoon which was really quiet and we were made to feel welcome. The pub is spotlessly clean and the facilities are first class. The salad by the way cost £6.50. Check out the photo. I would highly recommend a visit, enjoy.

We keep coming back here because the landlady and staff are so accommodating. The cask ale is just lovely, as is the atmosphere. The food comes in plentiful portions and never disappoints. It's completely unpretentious; well prepared and tasty.

We have been to this pub several times and this is the third Christmas we have been there. The pub is decorated lovely and there is a warm open fire which adds to the surroundings. Food has always been good but this year I think the menu was more limited. However, having said that we all enjoyed our meals mainly steak and our desserts. Staff are always friendly and you get the personal touch. The restaurant area is quite small and booking is recommended.

Thank you so much for hosting our Christmas party last week, we all had a wonderful time! The food was delicious & many drinks were drunk. Just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff & especially to the chef. The evening was enjoyed by all & a huge thank you to the owners, who accommodated all our special requirements

I stopped at the golden cup with my family for a Sunday dinner. The tables were all reserved but the very accommodating land lady managed to fit us in (and I’m very glad she did!) the Turkey and Beef were truly amazing and the amount of veg was more than enough !! The roast potatoes were the best I’ve ever had and the whole thing was well worth the money !! I had a delicious homemade sherry trifle and my kids had ice cream with chocolate sauce on which they thoroughly enjoyed. The very kind and generous land lady even gave the children a lollipop when they were leaving! Thanks Rach and Greg, we will be back x

We had a lovely Turkey Dinner. Turkey was very tasty and plentiful, crispy fluffy roasties, plenty of fresh veg. Thank you Rachael and Greg, love our Sunday Roast at the Golden Cup

A very cosy and welcoming pub with two open fires, one in the bar and one in the restaurant. The staff were all very welcoming and polite, especially the land lady who I believe is Rachael. She helped my husband out of the car and to his seat as he has a walking stick and also helped him to walk to go and see the Wonderful Christmas tree. The food was superb, I can’t fault it at all especially the homemade pie. The toilets were squeaky clean along with the rest of the pub and the garden is absoloutey amazing , I will defiantly be going back ! Thanks all at the golden cup.

We visited here on a Sunday afternoon. We had turkey dinners with 'all the trimmings'. The dinner consisted of thin slices of turkey, frozen carrots & peas, no sprouts? And 2 roast potatoes. Which are whole new potatoes that are hard and not roasted they are done in a fryer. Nobody bothered to check on our meals. We were offered chips or boiled potatoes as extra with the dinners? Who has that with a Christmas dinner? Gravy was like water and tasteless. the waitress brings plates out with a blue glove on then serves drinks with a blue glove on. What are you doing in the back?? All tables reserved but nobody sat on them. This whole experience ruined out Christmas day out. Such a waste of a nice pub.

Was on a trip home and had called in a couple if pubs for lunch but all been booked. Found The Golden Cup, and although most of the tables were reserved they fitted us in. It was a three course lunch with coffee. There was a very good selection to choose from. Service was excellent and staff very friendly. Food was nice and hot and cooked very well and plenty to eat. A excellent find.

I popped in here with a friend for lunch recently. There’s a good sized car park and even though most of the tables were reserved they fitted us in. The pub was very cosy and they had a fire going which always makes a difference. The staff were very friendly and we received our food a whole lot quicker than I thought we would. I had the salmon and my friend had the gammon. We were both pleased with the quality and size of portions. It wasn’t fine dining but it was very nice and we would happily go there again.

Called in for food but all tables reserved. Went through to bar to see if there was any barfood available but very empty and no atmosphere. Used toilets while there but decided to move onto somewhere else as this didn't have what we wanted. Bar lady followed us out to the car park and proceeded to berate us and was very unpleasant. Very very rude and extremely hostile. Glad we didn't give them our business! Stay away!

We stayed the night at The Golden Cup, the room was very spacious and well decorated. The bathroom was huge with a large shower and separate bath. We also ate on the night of arrival the food and choice is out of this world.

Called on the of chance, made most welcome. Food is excellent proper Sunday lunch, service efficient and very polite. Great value for money highly recommended. I would advise booking as we were lucky to get a table . This is a place we will be visiting again soon. Jenny Ferguson.

Called on speck for food as driven from Newhaven, nr Brighton. They were very busy but accommodated us with no problem. Foid was quick, staff friendly and lager cool. Will Defo call again

Having often passed through the village on the way to the Dales we decided to stop and look around this remarkable pretty village. At the heart of the village is The Golden Cup a real old style pub with great local beers served by very friendly staff who know and love their village. To the rear is a lovely garden just perfect to sit and relax in on a nice summers day.

Came here last night for my Wife's Birthday;

Excellent, polite attentive staff. Lovely surroundings. After the first evening we returned a second evening. Food very good.

Wonderfully situated in the heart of Yoxall serving fantastic food and drink. You could not ask for a better place to stop for atmosphere great beer garden, children’s play area and fields to the back. The landlord and lady go out of the way to make your time there enjoyable. The bar staff are curtious and attentive. A fantastic venue for weddings, parties and social gatherings.

I have written a very negative review of this establishment previously but would like to add a comment . Beware disabled people. There are about 3 disabled bays by the main door but 2 are taken up by the owners vehicles . They are always parked there,I have been past several times. This just goes to show the kind of feeling the owner has for people. Drive on a mile up the road in a northerly direction ,you will find a pub on the left with exemplary service

Have been here several times. Sunday lunch is a good 3 courses plus coffee. Tasty home cooked food. Have had dinner here several times and never disappointed. They have a fabulous beer garden that my children can play in between courses!

Brilliant time watching the match. Not rowdy but enough to make the place really energetic and busy Will return on a quiet night for the quiz

Following a very moving ceremony in the lovely St Peter's Church of Yoxall, we crossed the road with 75 guests and 25 children to enjoy a fabulous day at The Golden Cup. This was a superb venue with excellent organisation and very good food provided to our personal choices served up in a large marquee. Blessed as we were with a beautiful day, the children were able to play safely in the lovely grounds under professional supervision. A relaxed and completely enjoyable day. Thank you Greg and Rachael, you did us proud.

We were lucky enough to hold our wedding reception here in May, and were blessed with brilliant weather which was the icing on the cake! From setting the date back in March 2017 we worked closely with Rachel and Greg to organise our day and couldn't have done it without their help and advice! They were able to accommodate all of our plans and ideas and were so thoughtful and made us feel very special and that all of their focus was on us! The venue is perfect for the backdrop, amount of space, parking, accommodation and great food and wonderful service by all the staff. Thank you to all at the Golden Cup, especially Rachel and Greg - The Hoopers!
