The best restaurants in Forebridge Stafford West Midlands

We needed a lunch venue for 3 of us, somewhere between North West Staffordshire and Birmingham on Saturday and after a couple of searches The Soup Kitchen came up as the best option. We found easy nearby car park (complete with EV charging which was a bonus) We entered the building and were greeted immediately on arrival and there was no queue. We were then shown immediately to a small booth, which was nice and cosy. The menu was very comprehensive and we were very much spoilt for choice. We had an iced green tea, pot of tea and a water while we decided. We settled on Rosti and Breakfast Staffordshire Oatcake and were not disappointed. We then visited the cakes on display at the entrance to decide on what to have next. We had lemon meringue pie and coffee and salted caramel gateau, which were very enjoyable. Having seen some large sundae glasses with straws being taken to other tables, we finished with a couple of chocolate milkshakes. All in all, it was a very enjoyable lunch and a great find. There were plenty of staff and we never had to wait long to get somebodies attention. It was a very popular place as was evident by how busy it was, even with it being a little out of sight from the main part of the town centre. It reminded me very much of a proper teahouse such as Betty's in York. We all enjoyed our visit and would definitely visit again if in the area.

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.

I have visited many different Indian restaurants across the country and this one really is the most memorable. Amazing fresh food cooked to an extremely high standard, but for me the thing that makes it stand out is the welcome you get from the staff. I haven't had better service in any other Indian restaurant.

Very good atmosphere inside the Resturent gentle sand friendly staff very good service and excellent food had a great time thanks Bengal lounge restaurant

So pleased to have found this restaurant. The food was all home made and absolutely amazing as was the hospitality and service. If I lived around here I would definitely return regularly but sadly we're off back to Essex tomorrow. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We have been many times before and always have great food, this time wasn't so great, food was bland, normally waiters will come along as you if you require more drinks they didn't ask and take away empty glasses or bottles. They use to give you a hot cloth to wipe your hands no cloth but you still got mints, Waiters I afraid not as friendly and made to feel uncomfortable like they were all on guard as though something would kick off or someone was going to do a runner. Don't think I would want to return.

Food was okay, biryani was quite dry. Staff was very friendly , Nice atmosphere and nice surroundings probably would go again , but wouldn’t have the biryani 👍

Have eaten at Thawa Bridge several times, but have now had a couple of deliveries. It is without a doubt, the best curry north of the Black Country. Bloomin' lovely.

Had a fantastic meal at Nishads last night. There were 6 off us and every meal was served promptly and was delicious. Very friendly staff that looked after us and nothing was too much bother. Well done yet again to all at Nishads.

Fantastic food and service , great experience all round , we all really enjoyed our night out here ,, highly recommended

Lovely pint of guiness at a fine price and friendly locals open fire and a warm welcome from pete the barman and the patrons

The chicken here is so good and full of flavour. I think we have ordered most of the menu now. The burrito boxes are huge and great for take away and everything is always packaged perfectly. I really love this place and as others have said it’s Stafford hidden gem. Go eat there :) or order take out.

My go to place for takeaway. Food is really fresh and tasty, also quite healthy if you wanted it to be. Staff are very friendly and helpful too.

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.
