The best restaurants in Needwood East Staffordshire West Midlands

Luckily found this place after walking nearby at Staunton Harold. We wanted to sit outside and one of the staff said immediately she would arrange a table for the bench we had sat at. Coffee was perfect and the mango and lime cake was yummy. Very friendly staff

I love popping in here occasionally for coffee or mulled wine while waiting for my washing. They’re always so friendly and the mulled wine and coffee are amazing. I recently took my partner for coffee and cake on his birthday and he jokingly requested a candle too. The cakes were delicious and he got his candle and the staff sang happy birthday. It absolutely made his day! Thank you so much 🙏🏻 (I didn’t get a pic of the candle as he took it out so quickly)

Managed to get in for Sunday lunch recently .it was delicious nicely presented tasty and hot . Best Sunday lunch in the area

First visit, will go again. Will explore starters, prawns in white & honey, you can keep that but that's probably me. Enjoyed Lamb Sagwala, worth going just for this. Partner enjoyed hers, too much(?) and couldn't finish. Lager (like EVERYWHERE) over price and could have been served colder. Looking forward to going again

Little gem of a pub with restaurant. Food excellent, as well as service. Best to book to guarantee a table. Good choice of dishes for every course

Probably the nicest Indian takeaway we have had. Food was very tasty

Had a fabulous meal here to celebrate a family members birthday. The food was exceptional, service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. I would strongly recommend giving it a try if you like Thai food.

Arrived late as a rather frazzled mum with two hungry young children in tow and our lively young golden retriever. Fantastic friendly welcome from the owners. Dave the owner offered to take my dog off my hands while I got the kids sorted - and even took the dog outside for a wee as we had been driving for 8 hours! Above and beyond. I had called ahead to reserve a table and had a delicious main course of stuffed pheasant and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The children enjoyed their meals too. Wonderful relaxed environment where you can have a chat and everyone can feel at home. First discovered this pub in 2018 - it was my favourite pub then for the warm welcome and sticky toffee pudding and this has continued with the new owners! Definitely recommend if you are in the area - this pub is the real deal! Hope we can return soon.

Hadn’t been before, and popped in. Annabelle and Jess couldn’t have been more helpful. Great recommendations, especially the green smoothie!

Lovely beef in black bean but rice was very dry and cold unfortunately. Delivered quickly

The place is absolutely stunning, a complete all round package. The building is beautiful, the staff were amazing and so friendly, and the food was divine and really reasonably priced. I had never visited before today, but I will most definitely be back again.

My wife and I visited the Red Carpet Cinema & Cafe Bar on 17/01/25 for a meal. We have been three times now and really enjoy the setting, styling and atmosphere of the place. On this occasion I had the halloumi burger and my wife had the chicken burger, both were nicely presented and very tasty, then we both had desserts which also very nice. The service was great and our waitress Ellie deserves a special mention, she was friendly, polite and attentive and an absolute difference maker. Highly recommended..

What a turnaround! Last visited here a couple of years ago and have never felt so unwelcome in a pub in my life. Had heard that it had changed hands and WOW, what a change! Warm, welcoming and offering a superb range of cobs and pasties through the week and homemade hot options Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The food is truly excellent value for money, very generous portions of fresh, quality ingredients, really good freshly made coffee too. My friends and I were made truly welcome with our three dogs, and somewhat damp boots, even to the extent that they came out to make a fuss of the dogs and offer treats! Made time to engage with us despite the pub being busy (which in itself is testament to the turnaround they have achieved). I often walk my two dogs along the canal here and it is lovely to know that I can now call in here with them for a coffee and a cob and feel welcome. Keep up the excellent work, we need more pubs like this offering good old fashioned value for money and friendly service.

Very convenient being situated right next to the Travelodge we stayed in for the night. Coffees lovely. Staff friendly. The only point I was disappointed with was the cleanliness. The long seats were completely covered in crumbs, hairs and dirt, which I had to brush off. Tables dirty. Floor covered in food. The staff were standing around and we were one of only 3 couples and no others customers present so it wasn’t clear as to why cleanliness wasn’t being kept up to a higher standard. This doesn’t detract from their warm welcome but sitting on a clean chair and at a clean table would’ve been nice. We would however return and hope that this was an isolated case.

Lovely location with a lovely vibe and great food. Staff are really helpful and the environment makes for a special occasion. We have been for a number of celebrations.
