The best restaurants in Barlaston and Oulton Stafford West Midlands

Amazing food, staff friendly and accommodating!

A large group of us around 18 adults and 13 children visited last night for my husbands birthday. We had pre booked with the owner as there was soo many of us. I wanted to leave a review to thank the lady behind the bar, I believe her name is Lisa (known as Leaf), she was soo busy but was really nice, polite and welcoming. This is one of our local pubs and we had a great night, thank you Lisa

Currently trying to sleep three hours in and the music from the function downstairs hasn’t stopped. Wasn’t told that there was a function on that night. Apparently it is going to stop at midnight. This is no way a 4 star hotel I wouldn’t give it 2 stars. Never again.

Wow what an experience. Decided to treat Hubbie first his birthday. He loves food and it’s always nice to find somewhere new and special. We were greeted by friendly staff and shown straight to our table. After ordering drinks we were asked if we wanted to be shown around. Obviously we said yes and our host gave us a historical update too with a few surprises along the way. So magical and naff to feel very special. Hubbie had cocktails and I had mocktails - you really could not tell the difference lots of effort went into both drinks and the mocktails were absolute delicious. Food was served timely but you didn’t feel you were being rushed it was steady and relaxed. All of the food was so tasty and perfectly presented. Fab for special occasions - it is a little pricey but ok for once a year or so - although considering going back for breakfast. Definitely worth a shot. There was lots of choice

Sadly i felt this pub has gone off the boil a bit since our last visit and the change of management. A complaint about one of our party's food to the bar staff was met with indifference, she told the kitchen and the "chef" said he hadn't prepared that dish. No apology, no discount on the bill, no manager overseeing. I might not go back

Went for Sunday lunch with husband and friend. Beautiful setting and attentive staff. No starter but, however the main course was disappointing. The pork and mashed potatoes were lovely but have to criticise the rest. No carrots or parsnips, slices of stuffing and tiny bit of cabbage, cauliflower and beans underdone. The roast potatoes were small and dried up. Very tasty gravy. Husband said food not hot enough. Gorgeous sweet with many flavours and textures. Would return but not for Sunday lunch.

Girlfriend booked this for the Pullman dining experience, which itself was a very good experience. We did not know it was 3 courses for 15.95 before we went and the quality of the food really shows in this price, it was like eating a school dinner in a Pullman. Great pub with a lot of potential, let down by the food

Lovely night at The Gables, the staff were very friendly and attentive, the food was lovely and we didn't have to wait. We will definitely be back. Thank you.
