The Seven Stars in South Staffordshire

Lovely decor, nice atmosphere. Tasty food. Well priced. Good choice on the menu. Clean and tidy surroundings. Staff friendly and helpful.

7 Stars is local to us and the place is lovely, very warm and inviting and the team are all really nice and service is really good, its normally packed, so must be doing something right, but the food can be really awful sometimes in my view. There was a new dish I hadnt seen before and sounded like a real winter warmer , a steak and guiness pudding , I dont want to post a negative review for a local buisness but I think it was so bad I have to, only so hopefully the feedback can be revieved and acted on. firstly the whole dish was the same colour, a deathly beige colour, the pudding was stale and cold, the peas were inspid , they were marrowfat I get that, but hard and cold, the mash was also stone cold that it sat on and without any seasoning, but the worst was the gravy, I was expecting a dark savoury ale falvour, but it had a really disconcerting sweetness to it. sorry but it was truely horrible.

Had table booked for 6.45pm Sunday for our annual family get together pre Christmas table of 9 on arrival we were told half the menu was unavailable the one thing we all wanted with it being a Christmas meal turkey was unavailable had to wait a long time for drinks a long wait to order at this point we were thinking will more stuff be unavailable and then when food arrived items missing chips not cooked and 2 of the meals freezing cold very disappointing as not up to the usual standards of a paragon pub we know it’s busy but when tables are pre booked 2 months in advance you would think they could plan how much food would be needed and have the turkey available as it’s Christmas and popular we will definitely not be returning and not would recommend as such poor experience hope they manage to organise Christmas Day better and have enough food as it’s not cheap to eat there

The pub itself looked beautiful, but that’s were it started to go downwards in our experience, the continuous waiting to be served on drinks ,main meal ordering and dessert ordering, I know the pub was busy but the amount of unavailable items was very disappointing. Totally ruined the family event Would not recommend this pub

We had the pleasure of being served by Kate she really made our experience exceptional. From the moment she greeted us with her warm smile, she was attentive, friendly and very professional. She anticipated our needs, answered our questions with patience and made thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. Her cheerful attitude and genuine care made us feel welcome and valued throughout the meal.

There were 11 of us and we were looked after really well by Tommy, who was friendly, efficient and had a good sense of humour. The food was really good and we had a great time. Our only complaint is that yet again, the steak puddings had run out. This was the second visit in two weeks for me and my husband and the pudding was off both times. On this latter occasion, the chicken pie had also run out. Make more pies!!!! We really like this place and visit often. There is no other place we know of nearby which has such consistently good food. I absolutely love chips and they are really good here - actual real potatoes, peeled and cooked, not the frozen variety favoured by so many other eateries. Please keep up the good work!

We went for Sunday lunch, metup with family there as a halfway point. Delicious food, excellent service. Tommy looked after us, he was brilliant, very friendly and helpful.. Will definitely go back.

A lovely venue and excellent food. The service is slow if you do not dine in the restaurant as we had to remind staff we were there to eat. Overall a really nice pub as most paragon pubs are. Would recommend

Enjoyed a nice Sunday lunch with friends. The food is good and the service professional. Tom served us and couldn't have been more polite and helpful.

Saturday night and extremely busy. The food was of excellent quality. We did have some issues but our server was very attentive and the manager, James, resolved them in a very professional manner. We will definitely return.

Mother’s Day visit so expected it to be busy but was completely rammed, obviously completely overbooked. Took 25 minutes for our table to be ready. Other people waiting too. Too long to wait for 2 courses (we were there for 2 hrs) didn’t even attempt coffees! Small portions and overpriced. Normally love the 7 Stars so very disappointing.

We went to celebrate Mothers Day and my Mums 80th birthday. Head office had completely over booked - the food awful - we could have done better at home. We waited an hour between our starter and main. In fairness the Manager and Head Bar lady were very apologetic and gave us a £100 refund - ie we paid for drinks but not food. This was supposed to be the end to a really lovely weekend of celebrations and ruined it!! We were regulars but won't be going again!!

Booked a table with my two sons for Mother's Day, only to find out when we arrived that there was "at least" a 30 minute wait for a table and that the kitchen was struggling to keep up with orders, with a further delay of "at least" 30minutes on food. There was initially no apology, we were just asked to stand in a packed bar. Unbelievable that The Seven Stars decided to over book to put profits above customers on a special day! We opted to leave. They clearly can't be relied on. As a local, I'll be spending my money elsewhere in future!

Booked in for Mother’s Day, venue over booked, waited 1.5 hours for main course which didn’t arrive, asked for manager twice, manager did eventually speak to us and stated meal probably forgotten and disappeared and never returned. My daughter then spoke to another member of staff who said it could possible be another 15 mins…. We then decided to leave. Absolutely awful customer service.

We were warmly welcomed on arrival, and shown to our booked table. chose from the extensive menu, and our food was served promptly. It was tasty and well-presented; we also enjoyed desserts Staff were all friendly and efficient, and the venue had a pleasant atmosphere. Recommended.

Been twice this month for the first time . Firstly for my birthday with friends in the teepee . Great server called Tom - food was stunning . Lovely atmosphere . Secondly for my husbands birthday with family . Good lovely , couple minor issues which were sorted straight away with another fab server didn't catch his name ! Service was great on both occasions . Passionfruit gin was really nice and food again really tasty ! Would recommend for a special occasion!

The food was fine, with adequate portion sizes and quality. Too many customers for the amount of staff on duty hence very lengthy waits between courses. The Severn Stars operates the service charge, which you can remove from the bill, but they don't advise it's on there. You have to find it yourselves. A gratuity is a personal choice and doesn't need sneaking on to bills. This shows an underhand attitude.

We came for my Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday 10th February and it was fantastic. We had taken balloons and flowers to go on the table early on in the day and when we arrived everything was out and looked lovely! Nothing seemed to much to ask for. We had a waiter serving us who stated it was his first shift (I can’t remember his name) but he was fantastic! Very attentive and smiley which made our experience even better. The food was exceptional! We all ordered starters as well as mains and everything came out together and hot. There were no complaints as we all loved what we had- very tasty! And big portions…especially the pie. I just want to thank all the staff who served us on Saturday! It made my Grandparents special day even better and it was lovely to have the family all together!

We visit on a regular basis with family and friends, Last night we came for valentine's dinner, we sat in the tipi absolutely beautiful it made what had been a lovely day even nicer. The staff and food were to the usual high standards. Thankyou

Brilliant food I recommend Thai chicken skewer brilliant service and food came fast . Really clean and really nice scenery

Decided to go for lunch with my partner and parents for an early birthday celebration for my mum, I recommended The Seven Stars as we’ve always had good food and service there. This time, however we left pretty disappointed and I felt a little embarrassed for recommending. Saturday lunchtime so was fairly busy but not swamped and we were seated in the bar area - absolutely fine, table had been booked but we were 20 mins early. Drinks order taken and we also requested a jug of tap water for the table. Received drinks but not water. The food took quite a while after ordering, but we weren’t in a rush so not a problem. We had to request the water a further 3 times before being bought to the table. Food turned up, the burger my partner ordered had been mistakenly taken by the waiter as the lunchtime ‘light bites’ burger, rather than from the main menu which he had ordered, so a smaller portion. Which would’ve been ok if it had not looked like a child’s portion. For £13. Not even any garnish, just a small burger and little pot of fries. My mother’s Bombay niçoise salad was missing the sweet potato (first and main ingredient in the menu) so had to request it separately from the kitchen. The young waiter who made the error with the burger order did come over to apologise and offer if we wanted to purchase a second burger which was politely declined. We did appreciate him apologising though. All in all we left feeling disappointed, not the usual standard of service and food we have had from a paragon pub.

Disappointing Sunday lunch. Slow service, wine spilt on table and mopped it up myself with our serviettes, as no one came to do it. When roast Turkey arrived there was no stuffing and not asked if we required any sauces, food was only warm When we visited in December everything was superb so we thought we would return with another friend. A very long wait for drinks. Terrible shame.

Very friendly staff, we booked for the restaurant good menu choice, very clean. Will be going back ☺️

Decided to pop in for a meal while away on holiday. Such a lovely place atmosphere was nice . Found the food to be nice and reasonably priced. Staff are very accommodating and attentive, was a very pleasant experience and well worth another visit when next in area. Dog Friendly as well in bar area Top job

Amazing decor inside, great christmas cocktails and great selection of food Overall enjoyed the meal and would revisit

Fabulous lunch after the Christmas chaos! Service was excellent… best service I’ve received in a long time! Food was very tasty too. Made the experience very delightful! Would definitely recommend, and will be visiting again soon!

Extremely helpful wait staff and sat us despite busy time, recommendations were given off of the menu and drinks were delivered quickly. Lovely atmosphere and interior.

We visit this restaurant quite often for food and drinks but always in the main building. We opted for our Christmas dinner in the outside tent ,and from the beginning it just felt like we were the overspill from the main building.First of all we...

Went here for Christmas day lunch. The food was nice, but the service was shocking. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our first course, which was soup. On asking the waitress what the delay was, she responded by saying that the till wasn't...

Place looks lovely but service is shocking. Waited an hour for the food to come out, we had drank all of the drinks so ordered more which didn’t come. The bill arrived in 30 seconds though….

The restaurant had just opened so it wasn’t busy. The service was shocking, the waitress didn’t want to be there and was really rude. The food took ages and they forgot the drinks order until I asked nearly 45 mins later. Defo would not recommend.

My wife and I came for dinner on a busy Saturday night—Christmas decor made the place look beautiful. We were sat after getting a drink from the bar and were then sat in the bar area. When booking our table we did ask to be...

Good and competent service, good food, not hanging around between courses. As good a place as I've ever eaten in the UK

Very enjoyable lunch. I had the mushroom kiev which was very tasty. Staff very attentive . Good value set lunch menu.

The atmosphere, level of service, quality of the food and overall dining experience provided by Leah and her team was excellent. We were a group of 11 friends, all of whom had starters and main course. Every meal was expertly produced and all delivered in...

Excellent food popcorn chicken amazing can’t wait to go back, Services wasn’t the fastest but waitress was very nice and well worth the wait thanks.

Our favourite place. Service. Food. Ambiance are really great. Such a warm welcome. Never fails to deliver. Love the decor.

Comfortable, good service , fine food. Would return. Interesting menu, varied price options, lunch deals.

We regularly visit the seven stars for either lunch or evening meals with our 5 year old and 7 year old. Food is always delicious and staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Great atmosphere.

As always brilliant friendly staff that can’t do enough for you, great atmosphere and amazing food. Atmosphere is spot on, not too cramped and feels a bit more upmarket as it should. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting somewhere a bit more special but is...

Lovely restaurant but sadly let down by the service. I was left waiting nearly 10 minutes for a spoon for my soup and then the male manager had split our order into 2 by mistake so my sons dinner came out and 15 minutes later we were still waiting for the other 3 meals.. I notified them and they explained what had happened and the other meals did arrive but my son had finished his by this point and it ruined having a nice meal together. The food was actually lovely but for the price and automatic service charge I’d expect better.

This is a lovely place to have a great roast. We all had the turkey with all the trimmings. Fantastic quality and all cooked to perfection. Thank you for a lovely meal at the end of a busy day. We’ll be back 😊

Called in for lunch with my son. Hadn't booked, but the front of house made us welcome and found us a table. Service was extremely slow, however the main course was lovely. We would of stayed for desert, but were conscious of time, given how long the main course took to arrive.

What a fantastic venue. I’ve just held my 40th birthday party in the Tipi and what a great event it was. Beautiful venue, fabulous food, good choice of drinks and helpful staff. Could not recommend highly enough.

Very disappointed .. not the first time we have had a bad experience at Seven Stars. When greeted on arrival, it was acknowledged that my partner has a nut and seafood allergy before we were seated but it seemed once we were seated and with our hostess, none of the usual checks we have been asked previously were completed so this was a little worrying so we kept to the same mark choice that we have ordered previously. A couple arrived after ourselves and were served their starters before us ..For our main meals, we asked for them to come without tomato or mushrooms but arrived with both on the plate so were returned back to kitchen. When our meals were returned to us, my sirloin was cooked to the point of there being charcoal on my plate and my partners fillet was rare - when we had both asked for them to be cooked medium so once again returned to kitchen. On our last visit on 23/9, we asked if we could have a few onion rings to replace the tomato and mushroom from our mains, we were advised not a problem - when we asked if the same could happen on this occasion we were abruptly told this would never be allowed. Our replacement meals were fine with no complaints but the lengthy wait times that seem to happen no matter when you book a table coupled with having to return meals more than once …we will not be returning to Seven Stars

Fantastic service for 17 people and the food was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble, regarding seating arrangements and birthday cake cutting. Would definitely recommend.

This was a pit stop on a long journey - it was WOW - the food was delicious, the service was exceptional and the whole experience was 5*. The waiting staff are all so lovely and really focussed on delivering a great experience, the decor is really beautiful and the food was amazing. We had pork belly, king prawn stroganoff, then steak and chicken leek and ham pie. The tarragon sauce was exceptional. The kids enjoyed their steaks too. All cooked to perfection. Sadly no room for dessert but it looked amazing on the next table! We would travel here on purpose now, definitely worth a visit.

Very accommodating for a late booking. The pub was very busy but the staff were friendly and attentive. Good choice of roasts and a fantastic amount of veg - the cauliflower cheese was superb. Generous portions and tasty food (with impressive yorkshire puddings). We will definitely be back.

After dining at the Seven Stars for years, we had the worst experience to date last Sunday. We were stuck right in front of a window in the most over crowded room, it was sweltering in there, people everywhere, when there was clearly more room around the restaurant for people to be more spread out but they crammed us all into the one area? We were sat right infront of a huge window which was giving no shade, no window was open or a door, we had my 2 year old with us who was burning up from how hot it was in there. Our Sunday dinner came after an hour of waiting, the meat was cold, they had ran out of something we had ordered as a side, my partner couldn’t even touch his food as he was so hot and bothered and past hunger at this point. After having to leave hungry we then got charged the full amount which I think was disgusting as we didn’t even finish any of the meals. We had no apologies, we had asked a member of staff if they could open a door and nobody did so. So very dissatisfied and will never be coming back again.

I have visited the Seven Stars many times and the staff are always very welcoming, to the point that when I go now the staff know me and my family and always make us feel welcome and take time to talk with us. It makes...

I booked the Seven Stars for my twin daughters 21 st birthday. The table was booked for 1.30 am. We arrived and were shown to our table at 1.25 am. We were a party of eight all looking forward to our Sunday Dinner. The waitress...

Food was nice however we encountered a couple of rude members of staff who were sarcastic and very rude and unprofessional (Ellis). Had to wait an extremely long time for food and people who arrived a lot later than us received their food well before...

Very friendly and helpful, food was very good and tasty. Plenty of choice. Although they were busy still managed to accommodate us although we hadn’t made a reservation. Certainly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful and the staff is so nice and a lot of fun! Great menu and very good food. Chicken burger is a must! Must of course have a dessert which are out of this world too.

From the minute we walked in the service was excellent. Staff were great and efficient. The food was well prepared and presented. Looking forward to going again in the future.

amazing food would definitely visit again great place to visit with family or for special occasions great service and quick to serve

My mom and I come here approximately once a year and I have to say it’s fantastic every time. We tend to just share a couple of sandwiches between us and they’re always fresh, tasty and cooked perfectly. Sadly I didn’t get the name of...

great sunday lunch, busy but all was great. service attentive and food was sensational. thnaks for a pleasent lunch

I visited on a busy Sunday with my partner, my in-laws and my toddler. We had brilliant service from start to finish, and our meals couldn't be faulted. All of us left very happy and said we can't wait to return again for another meal.

Beautiful place to eat but disappointing food. Ordered whitebait as starter which was tasty, however, main course totally dry and overcooked. Would have been better going to KFC. Chicken topped with overcooked fried egg (served on a bed of potatoes). Complained and it was returned...

A very enjoyable lunch. I was very pleased that I was able to swop the chips for a salad to go with the chicken and chorizo sandwich. The waitress was very helpful.

Good restaurant with a nice lunch menu i.e. 2 courses £16 , very pleasant staff, highly recommend the Lemon cheesecake 😋

The restaurant was pleasantly busy when we arrived and were shown to our table. We started with cocktails, which were tweaked to our taste. The service was excellent. Sabine was busy but helpful, cheerful and very efficient. Leah carefully monitored the room and stepped in...

Most of the food was good, tho, the baked mushrooms starter was abysmal! A piece of soggy bread topped with a poached egg, covered in a mushy sauce. Absolutely disgusting and disappointing! There was not enough staff on to cope with the number of customers,...

We visited the Seven Stars for our wedding anniversary lunch and everything was wonderful! The staff were all welcoming and helpful, food was delicious and the surroundings are beautiful! We always feel special when coming here and will definitely return!

30th Birthday Meal. Hour wait for food, when we got the food (Fillet Steak £33 and Chicken Burger) both dishes were cold. Will not be returning, awful food and service.

Impeccable service and excellent food. We had table 2 which was very quite; just for which we had asked. All of the staff were superb in every way

Beautiful food and great service. We visited for a birthday. I’d paid extra for the balloons but a card was also left for my daughter. A lovely touch thank you. Ambiance great.

Amazing friendly service from all at the seven stars. The buffet food in the tipi outside was excellent plenty of range to choose from, and they easily catered for 50+ people . And may I add the Prosecco on arrival was a special touch that...

We attended a family birthday event in the Tipi. A beautiful room! Lovely food, lovely surroundings. The young waitress called COURTNEY was exceptional! Very polite, very helpful, and very efficient. A true asset to your team! Well done Courtney

Couldn’t thank the seven stars staff enough Great food with fantastic service. Can’t wait to return.

Great service today from lottie. Food is always good, i’ve been maybe 5/6 times… always for family events and we’ve always been very happy. Top tip, ask for Nicki if you want a cocktail nerd to mix you something special.

Lunch at the Seven Stars was excellent. The Thai fish curry was really tasty, followed by a delicious cheese cake. Our server, Lottie, was lovely. I use this restaurant regularly and have never been disappointed. Great ambiance, friendly, competent staff and good food and drink....

Waited far too long for food as many other reviews comment on. We ordered pretty much straight away yet waited 40 minutes from arrival for food. This caused us to have to rush eating as we needed to be at an event in Stafford. Also...

We haven't been for a while because the menu hardly ever changes and we got very bored of eating the same things. Thought we would try Sunday lunch for a change. Husband had a nice but underwhelming traditional roast. Not much to it, it certainly...

Had Sunday lunch with Family, the venue is lovely and the staff were all really friendly and provided a really efficient service. Food was excellent and will definitely visit again. Thank you

Good food, good service (thanks Kyra). Good beer and all at a good price. Most of the mains are gluten free which is very helpfull. We will go again.

Went for Sunday lunch 7th May. Only wished I’d looked at the reviews …Awful. ..Mish mash of warm and cool items on plate.. ate the warm bits so left over half of dinner .. no one came and asked if everything was ok so alarm...

The food was wonderful, staff were friendly and helpful. The calamari and haddock and chips were cooked to perfection. A lovely dog friendly place to eat. Worth the drive from Great Haywood.
