The Tavern in East Staffordshire

The Tavern in Denstone is a fabulous local pub, just down the road from Alton Towers. We are fortunate to live fairly close by and the Tavern is definitely our pub of choice, always guaranteed service with a smile. We never fail to have a good 'early doors' night out which almost always ends up with last orders! Special mention to Max, but all the staff are wonderful and can't recommend the Tavern enough. Pay a visit and enjoy a real country pub atmosphere! Best to leave your car at home 😉

What a gem of a pub. Ash & Keiren are doing a brilliant job running the Tavern and this shows through their fabulous team. Max is very chatty & friendly. My husband says Max pulls the best pint. The other staff are all great too. We love going here and it’s great to see it busy again. Food seems to be going down well. The pizzas are amazing. Always made to feel welcome and our dog is always made a fuss of too. Keep it up guys you’re doing a brilliant job.

Really lovely pub with fab landlords, reasonable prices and great atmosphere! They kept the pub open on a Wednesday night for a group of us and made us feel very welcome!

What an amazing night, the staff were great and felt so comfortable, especially being a gay man with my boyfriend. Very lgbt friendly ❤️❤️

Stopped for lunch today at the Tavern, what a lovely village pub. Very friendly landlords and locals, a home from home experience. We chose from the lunchtime specials and the fish&chips was especially good. We also tried the apple crumble which was really tasty and quite a big portion too. Looking forward to going back again when next passing. Would highly recommend, thank you

The local pub is really nice, and the owners Keiren and Ash are super friendly. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. It's a family-run business and they're all really lovely people. Love you all xx #localpub #greatatmosphere #deliciousfood #familybusiness #lovelypeople

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, brilliant food and the owners are the friendliest people you’ve ever met! Definitely will come again!

Very pleasant night out. The staff were extremely helpful, the food was very nice and there was a great selection of drinks. Highly recommend.

We happened upon The Tavern while staying in a holiday rental in the village. We loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in. There was a lovely buzz to the place. We had booked a table but fancied a drink in the beer garden. The young man that served us was very accommodating and reassured us our table would still be ready when we came in. The selection of drinks was fab. After a drink in the beer garden we came in, looked at the menu and ordered food. I wanted the burger but they had been so busy they'd run out of patties. However, the landlord was right on it and came over to recommend an alternative. I went for the veggie burger and it was delicious! We also ordered two curries (it was Curry Night) and the chicken burger. All were lovely. We liked the experience so much we went back the next night for Steak Night. Rump steak, gammon steak, fish and chips and pie later we were just as happy as the night before. I sincerely hope The Tavern succeeds in this difficult climate for publicans. AMAZING place! If only it was my local!

We stopped in the beautiful pub for some dinner on the way home. We were greeted with a big welcome from staff. Food options were great and good options for kids. Staff went above and beyond to ensure that food was good and checked in to make sure we were having a good time. Will definitely be bringing my family back. Good homely feel, lots of happiness and laughter. Would be recommending to friends and family.

Had the pizza on there pizza night excellent service the new landlord is doing an amazing job, I wish all the very best nice to see it busy

Wonderful little pub in denstone, brilliant prices and friendly atmosphere. New management are amazing, providing good service:)

Very disappointing. 11 of us had an hour and 15 minutes time slot on our table, we waited 30 minutes before being told when to go to the carvery, leaving us 45 minutes to eat, drink, order desserts of which 2 were already sold out, and eat them. We were asked to leave the table whilst 2 of our party were still eating. We won’t be going back. A case of 2 many sittings with minimal time between them.

Went for Sunday lunch which was ok but we didn't feel was anything special. Had much nicer and better portions elsewhere and service was much the same "ok" Whilst there wasn't anything as such wrong with the place I'm not sure we'd return as have had more enjoyable experiences elsewhere.

A genuinely tasteful, traditional English pub. The Tavern is a traditional 17th Century pub, tastefully extended to accommodate a cosy but adequately spacious dining area. Food is fantastic. All meals were served hot and at the same time. We were a party of 13 and not one complaint was heard! Whilst the homely dining environment and delicious food was enough to satisfy us, what really sets The Tavern apart from any other pub is the ambience. The atmosphere is cosy and intimate- yet welcoming and very friendly. This atmosphere radiates through all of the guests. And the people to thank for this friendly, warm welcoming ambience is The Tavern’s super friendly team. Our party received exceptional service from Paula tonight who I cannot thank enough for ensuring my birthday was as enjoyable as possible. Paula is an asset to The Tavern, and thanks to her personable, friendly, genuine service we cannot wait to visit again. Friday night pizza night it is! Thanks to Paula and the team for a wonderful birthday meal. Good vegan / vegetarian options. Wood fired pizza is great. A super pint of Guinness. Open fire. Dart board. Quiz night every Monday at 8pm.

We were staying at splash landings Hotel, and after one night realised we wanted something a little nicer for dinner. The tavern were super. Welcoming, clean, with a nice menu in a lovely setting. They had several gluten free options for our children and even offered to make them gluten free onion rings with fresh batter. Only 10mins drive from alton towers I would thoroughly recommend it.

We stopped over after a long walk. The meal was very tasty and the staff accommodating. A very nice pub indeed!

We had a truly lovely meal here. This local pub just gets better and better. The owners, and waiting staff are really attentive and the food was brilliant. We had four different items from the menu and all were fantastic. Can highly recommend.

We stopped by after a walk around the lakes and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We had a few drinks and shared a pizza, the kids thought the pizza was the nicest they’d ever had! We sat in the garden at the back, as this was before inside dining. It was lovely to sit in the sunshine and have a proper pint.We will definitely be back!

I had a takeaway roast dinner from here (on the last day before partial reopening) and the food was delicious and the portions were VERY generous. A very good value meal. The staff member l spoke to was also very friendly.

Very tasty ' Christmas lunch' take-away today! A real treat on such a cold wet day. Lots of attention to detail, well presented and well organised. Big thank you!

Great service beautiful setting and the food was gorgeous I had the chicken with king prawn tie curry and home made chips. Would definitely recommend.

Had a super cream tea at the Tavern with a good selection of sandwiches, cake and in particular some excellent home made scones. Efficient staff. Easy parking just opposite. Reasonable price for a lot of food.

The food was the highlight of our visit. All of it in which cooked to perfection, the chef even asked our server to check back with us because I didn't finish mine (small appetite) so it's clear they care. The service however was less impressive. No drinks menu, No check backs on our food and a less than smiley waitress. Not to mention the lack of a covid friendly environment, tables that had been marked as clean, were clearly not. Amongst other thing's. Lovely building. Incredible food. Truly credit to the kitchen team

We had a meal at the Tavern at the weekend. The welcome was very friendly and we felt safe from the start. The food was good, tasty and wholesome and the desserts were really good. The wine by the glass was good quality too. We loved the beer garden at the back of the pub, which Carol-Ann and her team have worked so hard to create out of a wilderness, well done! It is destined to be a thriving business and with the friendly and courteous staff, they can't g wrong! Thank you for a lovely evening. We would definitely recommend the Tavern.

Recently visited for a meal not knowing that it was under new management. We were all disappointed with our food it was average at best. Food used to be so good here, couldn’t believe that the chips were frozen and not homemade like they were previously. Food of a quality that I would not want to visit again. A real shame!

good food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. 100% would recommend. Also very close to alton towers which is handy

We’re staying in the area and booked this pub for Sunday lunch after a long bike ride. It was spot on. After having had a bad experience at the star at cotton we were pleased to find a pub that did great food, really friendly service and was taking the Covid situation seriously. We felt safe and well looked after. The sticky toffee pudding with custard was to die for. Thank you

Three of us ate here recently and cannot believe the changes that have taken place both indoor and out. The food is very good and the homemade sweets are exceptional. The service, staff and atmosphere is wonderful. The new beer garden is an asset to the pub and more improvements are coming in the future so i understand.We have already booked to eat another main lunchtime meal, and will shortly be sampling their new afternoon tea.Would certainly recommend this idyllic village pub.

Welcoming pub. Good background music. i had fish and chips which was lovely. My husband had the steak and loved the home made chips. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent menu, great value, fantastic food & great service - good to see the place back up and running.

Birthday celebration for teenager, food absolutely delicious! Service very good, lovely warm and friendly atmosphere would recommend

Went for dinner last night with a group of friends and the food was amazing. The pub has recently been taken over and the new owners are in the process of brightening it up.. The home cooked food was excellent. Will definitely, return again.

The Tav has recently reopened after a change of management and it is as good as ever. The staff are friendly and the locals propping up the bar are good for a laugh. The menu is good pub fare; burgers, fish and chips, steak and chips etc and they do it well. The meat comes from a local butcher and they work hard to source other local produce.The four cask ales on tap rotate, except for Pedigree which is a staple. All in all a great British pub and well worth a visit if you’re visiting Alton Towers or just passing nearby.

Had a lovely Saturday family dinner the other evening after hearing that the Tavern was under new management. The whitebait was fab – really crispy! And I had a cheeseburger (massive and juicy). Next time I’ll be trying the fish and chips as they looked delicious. Fab beer choices and really friendly staff – would definitely recommend!

We tried the Carvery with mum and dad it was loverly nice home cooked food just what I needed, drinks where spot on and puddings to die for well done the tavern team your doing a fanatic job, it’s so welcoming when you arrive loverly Atmosphere will be back very soon

Delighted to see that ‘The Tav’ is now back open for business under new management. Just had a meal which was excellent and the beer was good too. Highly recommended

We found the wee fella/landlord #Rocky a great accommodating host, we made us feel really welcome, but we see by previous reviews the locals are voting with the webbed feet and three thumbs.

What an awful experience when visiting a previously great pub. Fair enough that they are no longer serving food while the kitchen is redone but when the new landlord can hardly be bothered to serve you the future doesn’t look promising. Only one other couple were in there for early doors so people are obviously voting with their feet. The only reason I awarded it one star was because there was an open fire.

Unfortunately the pub no longer does food. This isn't clear from the website so we had a wasted trip.The Crown at Marston Montgomery is only 2 miles away and excellent tho! We went there instead

We had a bad experience here. Supposed to be great pizzas but ours were not. Now you would think (expect) pizzas straight out of the wood-fired oven would be hot. Well, ours were not and so we sent them back. As we reflected on the situation we decided to give it a miss. The landlord was confrontational and managed to upset my wife. He explained the chef had left three months ago and oven had not been used since until today. I think this was a lie and as they say the is no smoke without fire. No smoke. I hate having to complain, but even more, I hate being palmed off with substandard food and high prices. The only other diners were having steak and that looked pretty ordinary too. Up to you but I wouldn't. The brewery could care less either.

So the saying goes and to be honest it's true! For one reason or another we haven't eaten at the Tavern on a Sunday for a couple of months.

Ordered pizza and waited which bodes well for a piping hot out of the wood oven pizza. When it arrived it was warm, not hot and bubbly like it should be. Sent it back but decided not to proceed as it looked factory-made and the underside had stripes of discolouring which looked like fake cooking to me. The landlord was pretty rude and my wife was very upset by his attitude. The last meal of our holiday supposed to be a treat was a disaster. The saviour was home-cooked Staffordshire oatcakes at our cottage and they were scrummy. Avoid at all costs unless you want cold food and an aggressive host.

Service was quick and very polite. The menu was varied and well presented with a good selection of child and specialist dietary choices considering the size of The Tavern, which was brilliant considering our fussy kids and our dietary needs.

We had driven for six hours and needed a meal somewhere local to where we were staying. The Tavern was listed on our information sheet so we managed to get in at last minute, Several things didn’t click. First

Been on x2 previous occasions and enjoyed ,

Had such a fantastic day out here! The meals were incredible and we managed find this little gem by off chance. Stopped by and found it a true haven! Will definitely visit again

We were excited to visit based on recent reviews. After a day at Alton towers some hearty well cooked food was in order. Charming little place, bright and welcoming. Shame the welcome from staff wasnt as good. After standing for 5mins and not even noted by a single staff member we had to make our way past numerous groups of people at the bar. You need to get a drink before taking your seat (which would have been good to know when we first went in). Choice for children who dont like fizzy juice is very limited. When questioned the gentleman said it was because the brewery charge so much. As a patron I'd rather have the option to pay the higher price or not.

Poor service.one guy doing everything. Table of empty glasses and plates. Food was poor. Chips fish prawns all swimming in grease and well over cooked. Nobody asked how our meal was. Paid and left. Never returning.

Met Chris and Jay in Nerja in April. They told us about their pub/restaurant and we said we would pay them a visit. Did that today. The carvery was one of the best we've ever had. Great place. Chris was very welcoming the service was spot on and the food excellent. Very good value for money. Will definitely go again. Highly recommended.

We were staying at the Alton Towers resort, however we wanted to try something local. After a small search on TripAdvisor myself and 3 of my friends booked a table over the phone, we arrived 15mins early and was greeted by the gentelman at the bar and got sitted in at a very pretty table. Ordered drinks and food after a few minutes.

Booked a table for 3 over the internet for last Saturday evening. No problem whatsoever. Arrived 15mins early and was greeted by very polite staff. Ordered drinks at the bar and shown immediately to our table.

Our starters were absolutely delicious and we could have easily made a meal from those alone. With so much promise, the main course had a lot to live up to and it didn’t disappoint. Huge gammon steak with hand cut chips incredibly tasty, and managed to beat my huge appetite

Chris and his team, Rich the bar manager and Greg the chef can’t welcome you enough into this beautiful little chocolate box looking little pub in the heart of a beautiful village.

Been to the Tavern four times over recent weeks. Every time the food was excellent. Last nice it was a very tender steak well cooked.

Dropped in on a Saturday early evening for tea. Lovely buzzy atmosphere with nice staff. Quick service and tasty fresh food. £8-£10 for large pizza and £12 - £15 for mains.Glad we came ..Will try again soon :-)

Well run, friendly pub, really good food and drinks. Staff all friendly, Sunday roast a must. Patrons keep returning to the family like atmosphere, and quality decor.

Thank you for making our family feel so welcome, food was perfectecly cooked, we will be visiting again very soon.

We have been visiting The Tavern for a number of years now and I have written a number of reviews all saying how good this place is.

Visited with dad for a few pints and a meal. We had the duck and pork escalope. Great food the best we have had in a long time. Very tasty. Friendly staff and a really good atmosphere made the night even better. Chris the owner who we chatted too and locals made us feel really welcome and cannot recommend it highly enough.

First time for us but it was well worth a visit , lovely place , staff very friendly and made us feel welcome , the food was amazing very well presented ,

This place is amazing! We spent a lovely Valentine's meal here.The food was outstanding as always and also has a great atmosphere. The staff are very polite and friendly. As a gastro pub this place excels with attention to detail ensuring everyone as a lovely evening. The people in the local area, are very fortunate to have this gem on there doorstep.

Just a quick visit over lunchtime to meet friends but very good. A couple of excellent sandwiches (one Prawn and one Ham) and a bowl of chips just hit the spot. Very good beer and a nice glass of wine.

Brought some friends here because we'd heard the food was good and wanted to give it a try. Checked online for any events, there were none, so booked a table - had to book by phone in the end because the website wasn't working. Disappointed to arrive and find it was a tapas night, something that wasn't advertised on the website and I wasn't told when I booked. Now as it happens I love tapas but I would never choose to eat it in an English pub. One of our group is vegetarian and the only options were carb, carb, carb - patatas bravas, beetroot and goat's cheese risotto, a couple of other potato/rice-heavy tapas if I remember rightly, or pizza. Very little protein and no veg, not even a side salad on offer let alone any of the delicious vegetarian tapas dishes you'd get in a Spanish restaurant (chick peas with spinach, aubergines with palm honey, those little green salty roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, mixed peppers, lovely salads, grilled veg... mmmm...) I'm not vegetarian but I would usually order mostly veggie dishes for tapas with maybe a fish or meat option. Anyway, two of us including the vegetarian chose pizza, and two of us including me chose tapas to share. I had the one vegetarian option, the soup, which was nice but soup isn't really a tapas thing so it was a bit odd. My companion had sardines on toast which she said was good. We shared the lamb cutlets with red cabbage which were so good that we ordered another round; my companion found the cabbage too sweet but I enjoyed it. We also had duck with cabbage (again) which was less sweet so I let my companion eat most of that. The duck was free-range Gressingham, which is great, but the portion was so small: three slices, one the size of a pound coin, one the size of two pound coins, and one in between the two. The patatas bravas were nice enough BUT all the tapas arrived quite some time before the pizzas - and they were burnt. We discussed sending them back but the pizza-eaters said they were too hungry and couldn't face a further wait, especially as the tapas-eaters had almost finished their meal, so they ate them anyway, but they weren't very nice. The service was very slow, we had to wait almost half an hour before anyone took our food order, then we ordered more aperitifs as well (having finished the first ones) but they didn't arrive until after most of the food had turned up. The sangria was surprisingly good. So it was a mixed evening with a few good points but overall I wouldn't come here for tapas again.

I've eaten here occasionally over many years and although the food is usually nice, the portion size keeps getting less and less yet the price keeps going up and up. The last time I ate here was with a group of friends and some had a Hot Sandwich (rather small & not too much filling) while others had the Pie (all were small slices), Chips, Peas & Gravy but at almost £11 it's overpriced. Perhaps our choice of lunch venue is about to change..!

Identified as having good reviews when looking online and we were not disappointed. The landlord and the pub were traditional and welcoming - the food was very good. One of us had lamb and the other had sole - both of which were reasonably priced and exceeded pub food expectations. Landlord was understanding of our desire not to rush - would highly recommend to any parents visiting the area while their children enjoy the thrills of Wicker Man etc.....

Tremendous lunch. The food was most enjoyable, slow roasted beef for 14 hours. Proprietor and chef were a delight to meet. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Sunday carvery with friends and their 2 children.

We visited here with family 3 days ago during our trip to Alton Towers. We had previously eaten in another local pub and were disappointed to find it shut on this visit.(the food was amazing) We asked our Bed & Breakfast owner what had happened and she told us that the chef had moved to The Tavern. Well what can I say the food is top class (Darren the chef is amazing!!) The service was great and we haven't stopped talking about the steak ale pie we ate and the Halibut on a bed of risotto is the best I have ever had. We are family of food lovers and would highly recommend eating here. Thank you very much.

Went for a meal whilst we were caravanning in the area and it didn’t disappoint.

Was in the area for a weekend and needed a place to eat, the reviews looked good so we decided to give it a try. We were delighted, Long story short the belly pork here is the best I have ever had and the crackling is sublime, the red cabbage and dauphinois potatoes were the perfect accompaniment and went down a treat. Service was good and the beer well kept, I would go out of my way to eat here again.

We entered the pub with a view to just using the facilities before our planned bike ride and the call of the carvery was too great to resist. We had no trouble getting a table and were very soon tucking into a roast dinner with all the trimmings. We had a choice of roast pork or roast beef and our request for a bit of both was greeted with a smile - it was no problem... The food was delicious, hot and good value for money.

My family and I went to the Tavern today for a carvery. We informed them beforehand that I was allergic to gluten and when we arrived, all our expectations were surpassed. The chef Gregg and his colleagues had prepared - gluten free Yorkshire puddings, gravy, cauliflower cheese and an AMAZING chocolate brownie. As a coeliac, finding a restaurant that fully accommodates allergies is very rare and everybody said that the gluten free options were just as good as theirs. We’ve eaten at the Tavern many times and the attention to detail, friendly atmosphere and accommodating staff are some of the things that keep us coming back. Thank you to Chris, Gregg and the team for all your efforts, see you very soon!

This place is a gem of a pub. Lovely setting and so well looked after Staff just brilliant The food , which on this occasion was a buffet was plentiful and filling. The place was clean and so very well maintained.

Good service. Very good choice of food and all cooked excellently. The atmosphere was good and the setting was interesting. Very busy.

Went with 4 friends. All meals went down well with all plates cleared and beer guzzled. My hake was lovely but at £16 a tad overpriced for the lunch portion - just my opinion - still a lovely Meal. Service great and beer well kept

We regularly visit The Tavern at least once a month maybe twice! For food and at least once a week for drinks and the quality of food and drink never fails me and my partner!

Arrived and was quickly served at the bar and informed that the table we booked was next door in The Parlour. The bar was reminiscent of several pleasant country pubs that I have visited in Devon and the West Country over the years. The bar was well stocked with lagers, guest ales and several gins. The rose was very good also, I have been informed. We sat in a very pleasant dining area and our order was taken promptly. The waiter informed us that there may be a longer wait than usual as a table of 17 had walked in prior, however the weight was as I would have expected anywhere else and not a problem. The Parlour had couples, groups of gentlemen on business and families with children so The Tavern suits all ages. I ordered the lamb which was spectacular and my girlfriend's steak was excellent as well. The bill came to approximately £50 with a few drinks which I thought was very reasonable for the service and food we received.

Found this place on trip advisor, and booked before our break to Alton towers. Fab food and excellent service. Would highly recommend. It’s worth the extra 5/10 minute drive away from the resort.

Excellent meal, would highly recommend. Beautifully presented food and very friendly staff. Decent gin menu too!

We were staying at Alton Towers for a couple of days & couldn’t get a reservation in our hotel so Googled local places to eat. We were sooo glad we did as we found this little place! Just wish we had found it on our first night, not last. We thought we’d end up having to get pizza to take away as we had shown up around 8pm & it was fairly busy but they were able to seat us. We all had pizza and thought it was delicious. I have seen another review about the pizza base being black/burnt...do not let that put you off...this isn’t supermarket frozen pizza or Dominos/Pizza Hut. My partner’s daughter is super fussy but said it was the best she’d ever had and we love pizza! The staff were friendly & the pub itself is in a lovely area with a good atmosphere. If we are ever back to the area we will definitely come back here.

We were really disappointed with our experience at the Tavern after their frequent adverts promoting their dishes and superior service on Facebook.

Stayed nearby and dropped in for a quiet drink. Staff were unbelievably friendly and prompt and it was very reasonably priced. Didn’t have food on this occasion, but noticed other diners and the service was very quick and the food appeared lovely. Next time the family are back, we’ll be sure to dine here too!

We arrived about 6.15 pm on a Wednesday evening and it was quiet with only 2 other tables taken. Food was excellent- husband had the lamb and I had the fish. Only 2 things that stopped me giving 5 stars - glass of Pinot Grigio didn’t taste right and waiter/barman was on his own serving the bar and 3 tables and wasn’t very happy about it!

A few months back we booked a mini trip to Alton Towers. We decided we didn't want to stay on site in the evening as we wanted to try some local pubs out and to eat what we would call *real food* instead of the usual theme park food expectations.

Make sure you book as it’s busy. Two sittings are available and it’s fantastic. Lots of veg, potatoes and choice of meats. Reasonably priced and a lovely little country pub. Parking can be a problem so be aware. Bakewell Tart is my daughters favourite

Booked by phone for 6on for my wife and I. We arrived ten minutes late. We announced our arrival and were told by the manager " you'll have to wait till I'm at the bar" He came to the bar and I repeated my name and he replied "you're late" and showed us to our table. The food was tasty and plenty, in fact, we each left some of our main meal as we were full. The toilets were in need of drastic update but also the manner in which you are treated, especially if they want to attract more than locals on a regular basis. Nevermind that "we get full", if they are first timers, with attitude which we experienced, they are not going to return.

This was our second visit to The Tavern at the request of my wife for her birthday midweek lunch.

I’ve wanted to try this place for quite a while and finally did!

Thank you to Chris and the team. Had a truly outstanding meal last night. Great flavours and atmosphere in a lovely pub. Highly recommend if you are in the area 👍👍👍👍👍

Visited here with my Mum and a large group to celebrate a birthday. The pub itself is lovely and the staff seemed really friendly. We had a three course carvery which was very nice. There was a choice of starters and desserts. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their choices. I would certainly return again in the future.

Zuerst waren wir enttäuscht, dass es keine Pizza gab (nur Freitag und Samstag), aber dann fanden wir etwas anderes. Das Essen war gut zubereitet, schön angerichtet und lecker. Das Personal war nett und die Atmosphäre gut.

Stopped here while attending an interview. We were recommended by another establishment in the area.

My wife and I live ten miles from The Tavern, and had visited once before for drinks. It looked lovely then outside and inside (like a proper country pub should be - beams and softly lit). We decided to then, and last weekend, we finally got round to returning for dinner. We booked in advance, as it has a reputation for being busy.

Visited at short notice and the Tavern were able to look after our table of five promptly and provided us with perfectly cooked good quality food. The menu was not the typical plain pub grub i.e. scampi and chips (although they may serve scampi), i had the steak burger with gherkins, chips and salad, my husband had pork belly with cider jus, mash, veg etc, our children had beer battered cod, pasta in a tomato sauce and sausages with mash. Ingredients are locally sourced.

Food good. The steak is of good quality and well cooked. Lovely Stilton sauce. Fish and chips went down well and Cajun burger was lovely.

So today was the coming together of my retirement and my birthday – not a BIG one but substantial enough to want to go somewhere really good.

We had lunch there yesterday and had a fantastic meal, chosen from an amazing menu in a place with wonderful...

We have been working away from home. The Tavern was recommended to us by Family who live local. We visited...

We popped in here, while walking the other Saturday. Hidden in Denstone off the main road. It is a lovely...
