The best restaurants in Forebridge Stafford West Midlands

Disappointed from start to finish. From the poppadoms and pickles, which weren't to the miniscule portion of ice cream. The pickles consisted of three sauces, one of which tasted powdery and some diced tomatoes. The four main courses, had a distinct lack of meat and there was nothing special with the taste. The parathas were over cooked and solid. At least the rices were okay.

Have a friend who was Alumni from Stafford catering college over 30 years ago so I suggested we go back to his old stomping ground and see what is on offer. And rather glad we did. Food excellence at under 30 pounds a head. Loved it all with some truly outstanding dishes (if it's on when you go there, WE cannot recommend the cheese custard starter enough) Such exciting young trainee chefs and front of staff, brilliant experience and you owe it yourself if you truly love food to go and be well fed by the future staff members of restaurants.

i really recommend bengal lounge because the food is brilliant, service is good and the staff are so friendly. would highly recommend

We found this cafe after looking at a job in Stafford. On first seeing the name, I thought it would be a basic “soup kitchen” with not much choice. How wrong I was. On entering we were greeted by a lovely gentleman who showed us to our table. The waitresses were all traditionally dressed in black with white aprons. The menu had plenty of different choices including plenty of vegetarian options. We had the crispy potato skins with mushrooms and cheese, delicious with plenty of cheese. I had the vegetarian flan with proper chips and salad, two had the cheese and mushroom omelette with chips and beans and the other had jacket potato with bacon and cheese. It was all well presented and plenty of it. We decided to have a look at the dessert menu and were not disappointed. I had the fruit scone which was proper homemade and a decent size, the others had cheesecake, treacle tart with custard and lemon meringue pie, they said it was the best meringue they’d had, crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle, not dry. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The place was very busy for a Tuesday lunchtime with a mixture of old, young and families. I would recommend this place and would return if we come back to Stafford.

Upon arrival, we were seated at our table with haste, left unattended for several minutes. When asked for drinks, we inquired for some tap water which was provided, but with no glasses provided. We finally got to give our food order, which covered 8 people. Since some of our party had less of an appetite, they wanted to share their main courses with another member. However, the waiter told us that we were not allowed to to eat at the restaurant unless every individual ordered their own main dish. We were confused by this, since we had eaten here before and were allowed to share our dishes. Yet the waiter was adamant about this, refusing our request. We left the premises soon after. It's a shame that we were willing to try this place again to such restrictive rules.

Very good food and service. Thank you

Andrew bakes the Staffordshire Oatcakes for sale at the cafe and offers a variety of plentiful fillings to ensure a tasty all day treat to eat at the cafe or to take away. Great staff service, freshly ground coffees and local cakes all at a very reasonable price. Well worth a visit.

I always have a nice meal. I have the same meal. Chicken Dansak. It always has pineapple in. This time there wasn't any. Far too much of the red stuff which I'm sure is past the regulated measurement.

This place is disgusting! As much as I love being here on a Saturday night, the way the bouncers and owners have dealt with my friend is appalling. To grab her the way they did is wrong. She is of age and had proof of id which they let her in for however still treated her in such a way with no reason. When trying to speak to the bouncers and owners about this they were unreasonable and unhelpful. Instead of being polite they were rude and horrible. To deal with young girls like this is not acceptable no matter whether it’s their job or not! The bouncers here last night (04/05/24) were much more lovely and would never have done such a thing. I am stunned I cannot believe it.

Staff are always friendly and respectful. I always go for the homity pie or quiche but this time I tried the new sticky chicken wings. Small portion but it was great

Traditional back street pub. Good beer!

Our first time visiting and it was amazing! Spotless clean, friendly staff and some of the best food we’ve ever had. Oh, and they pour a good Guinness too!

I wanted to do something special for my parent's and so I organised an afternoon tea for them. Well I couldn't have asked for anything better and they were looked after tremendously, with fabulous food, atmosphere and 1st class customer service. Beautiful sandwiches, savouries, cakes, scones and plenty of tea and they thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Highly recommended for anybody wanting to be pampered.

I go to the market cafe to see my lovely friend Celia who looks after everybody who visits the cafe and she works with her lovely staff there. The food is excellent, great value and lovely atmosphere.
