The best restaurants in Haywood and Hixon Stafford West Midlands

Great supper! Friendly staff and the steak and ale was the best. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere

We had been recommended here so wanted to try. Not disappointed at all Very good quality food Lovely friendly staff We visited on a Saturday night and it was very busy We did have to wait quite a bit for food but as it was so busy we didn’t mind we just chatted at the table. Food came with a smile and an apology for the delay - which was good. Great quality food, and excellent tastes Superb value for money too

Really helped out when we had a bit of a personal reason to need to eat and run. Foid goof as always

Deb served us for lunch today, and she was fantastic. Very attentive and the food was beautiful. We’ll be back! Thank you!!

An enjoyable evening meal a short walk from the wonderful Shugbrough Hall The restaurant was separate to the pub/bar side Very nice food with generous portions and a good choice. A very enjoyable visit

Visited here today for lunch. Service was efficient and staff were pleasant. Food however was most disappointing. One pie of the day (minced beef and onion) and one scampi with chips. 2 hot drinks. The pie was as hard as rock on the top and took my husband quite some force to break it open. The contents were not appetising, lacked flavour and not to be recommended. The scampi was not of good quality. On both dishes the 'chunky' chips were dry and not at all pleasant. On looking around the cafe most people had left quite a bit of food on their plates, leading us to believe that other dishes were not acceptable either. Not a good experience at a time when cafes should be doing their best to encourage customers to frequent their establishments. Sadly we will not return, nor will we recommend.

Best fish bar around, lovely batter as good as the best and better than the rest Cod chips mushy peas my favourite

We have often called in the flag when we have been out on our boat.the atmosphere and dynamics have changed ,all due to the previous management couple leaving.the previous couple (pete & shell ) made this pub the heart of the community the beer was always good the banter on tap and shells yorkshire puddings was a real treat. They made the pub feel cosy, welcoming and traditional with 6 top notch cask ales always on tap .But alas no more...i wonder where they are and hope their new customers enjoy the yorkshire puds as much as we did.. its amazing how its all changed no welcoming atmosphere,no heart or soul in the place,no well kept ales its such a shame that the owners didnt do more to keep the management that really did love this pub. .We will not forget the drag car on the car park or the bouncy castles and rodeo on the charity day they did so much to make this pub the heart of little Haywood,...just in case you still read your reviews...THANK YOU GUYS where ever you are... i wont be visiting again unless by some miracle the proper landlord and landlady return.

I'm assuming that this tearoom is the one we visited yesterday renamed the Mansion House tearoom. Had been looking forward to a tasty lunch only to be terribly disappointed. The swede soup with honey could have been anything, completely tasteless It was perhaps only excelled by the disgustingly soggy,indigestion inducing curried veggie burger. We left the food and won't be back despite having just become members of the National Trust specifically to visit Shugborough on a weekly basis.

Visited local garden centre at Wolseley Bridge many times and eaten in the restaurant, having lunch and afternoon tea, including at Christmas. Will not be returning after experience last Friday. Drove my two neighbours there for the festive lunch and after a reasonable meal, nothing special, went to settle the bill for all of us as I had made the booking and paid the deposit. The girl on one of the two tills was trying to sort out payment from five ladies who also had made a group booking but wanted to pay separately. The system wasn't co-operating and she resorted to calling someone to help. That someone turned out to be the restaurant manager. After she figured out how to accommodate the various payments she turned to leave and I asked whether someone could please take my payment as I was not part of the other group and by this time I had been waiting patiently for about 15 minutes. She simply said they were all busy though by this time it was 2.30 pm and quiet. I asked whether she could do it herself but she said, quite rudely, that she had 'other things to do', turned and walked away. I suggested to her retreating back that perhaps her priority should be customer service but she took no notice. When finally I got to pay it took one minute. That one minute and a 'sorry' is all it would have taken to avoid this review.
