The best restaurants in Stafford West Midlands

Food was good and cooked fresh. The chef came out and checked on a couple of items we ordered as she felt it may not be what we expected it to be which was good. Her thinking that was actually correct so instead of waisting food she cooked what we wanted. Brilliant service. Shame they were closing for a refurb so some things had sold out. Hope when they reopen they will still be as good

Visited today with family and the only cold drink choices without sweeteners were iced coffee (that had barely any coffee in) or cans of water.

Very disappointing food….. Starters - prawn dish, only 5 small prawns being over cooked in boiling oil accompanied by piece of bread with mayo. Goats cheese tart smothered with balsamic vinegar. 3 out if 5 main courses were cold. Sent back but not even warm when supposedly heated.Lamb shank had ‘shrunk’ in size when meal returned. Very undercooked roasted vegetables - not cooked! Luke warm coffee. Horrific noise, disco above, restaurant music too loud…….. We had asked to change table due to the noise above only to be seated in a similar part of the restaurant- UNDER THE DISCO of the wedding party. I’m addition to the music and thudding the restaurant had its own music blaring. We asked for the restaurant music to be turned down but we were told by a deputy manger that it could not be turned down and it was to hide the noise of the disco above. This noise was horrific!!!!!! No wonder very few tables were in use in this area of the cellar restaurant!! We spoke to the manger re the above - all he and the deputy did was to offer free desserts or coffee, no apologies. I told them that we had used Weston hall on many occasions over many years and how we had never had such an awful experience. It was very disappointing that our family meal to celebrate a ‘special’ birthday had been spoilt. Neither of these managers seemed to bother and had a very defensive attitude. The deputy actually told me to stand and wait for a few minutes to speak to him - he was speaking to a waiter. The manager thought by offering 3 free desserts would make everything right - we declined the desserts. They then thought that taking the cost of some drinks off the bill made up for a spoilt evening. I suggested that when people make a booking they should be told if their table is going to be under a disco!!! Our booking had not been ‘last minute’ so we should have been told. Absolutely awful experience.

Wow what can I say - found this on the of chance looking g online so decided to give it a go for dinner. From the second we arrived - the whole dining experience to the minute we left everything was absolutely phenomenal. The service was outstanding and the food cooked with passion. We throughly enjoyed our evening and so reasonably priced. If we visit Staffordshire again we will certainly return here for our evening meals. Managed to have a walk around the grounds after dinner, what a man outstanding location of beauty and serenity - Congratulations on an exceptional business that focuses on first class customer service and true hospitality - Thank You

Decent ish place. They can be a little slow to replace the popular and expensive buffet items. Buffet price is reasonable. The beer (the pints) are a bit dear.

We visited tonight and we had a lovely meal. I had the rib eye steak and my husband had fish and chips ! The food and service was great . A lovely cosy pub to visit .

It was a cold and wet day when I went the other day and the doors were permanently open. Everyone was wearing coats. I went to do some work but after a while I went to a Asda it was too cold.

I arrived from staying in a cottage near by I sat down in very comfortable seats and got served by polite staff I love there dog of the day my dog loved it they have all my favorite foods that I can't find the toilets are surely clean goodness me wow the food is the bestest food I have ever had go there and your life will change thanks guys 😊

Well, what a surprise. We arrived well after lunchtime but before tea. The pub itself needs a good overhaul in terms of decor. Quite shabby and dusty. There was no one in the pub at the time, but the staff took our order, and it came quickly. What an amount!! I've never been defeated by meat until now!!! Hubby had a grill which was plentiful, and I had ribs. Little too much sauce for me but I scraped it off. It was tasty.. I took half of mine home! We will definitely revisit. Sunday carvery is supposed to be good....

We normally visit on a Sunday, for the carvery, but we decided to have meals off the main menu. Great value for money, food tasted great. We will continue to return.

what a joke of a pizza. Ordered and still came stone cold n rock hard. What a joke of a food place. I would NOT recommend this to anyone if your looking for a decent scran

Me and some friends came for a meal before we went to watch the new movie Willy wonder. We first walked in the door and was greeted by a very unhappy server. She asked if we had any allergies. I have a severe nut allergy so we let her know. We all sat down and she gave us the allergy folder and left us to it. All the staff seemed unbothered and could care less about our experience. Our food came out cold and some items were missing. We informed the staff about the missing items and it took a while longer to come out. We wasn’t very impressed at all I could cook better Italian dishes in my own kitchen! We paid through our phones and we’re surprised to find a £5 extra service charge! What service may I ask?

Food 3/10 Ordered 2 mains and 2 drinks £30. Not nice. Milkshake was off. Food was small Cleanliness 2/10 Table was dirty right up until we got our food. Got cutlery with no napkins. Service 5/10 Staff were friendly and helpful. But need a bit more training on basic restaurant skills.

Visited one lunch time with some friends, not over busy, lots of empty tables. Originally seated under aircon(?) unit but found it to be dripping directly onto the table and the floor next to the table. We moved elsewhere and raised with the team and we overheard “oh yeh I know. Just shove a wet floor sign”. No apology for the inconvenience of having to uproot ourselves, belongings, drinks etc, no attempt to clean the puddle or take the table out of service with a false reservation sign or anything. Wasn’t offered sauces, didn’t have anyone check our meals were ok (they weren’t very hot but were edible), didn’t have our plates cleared - generally just a bit of a let down really. They didn’t seem busy or understaffed, so cant really work out why there was no real service beyond dropping our meals to the table.

Went to the beer festival yesterday, wide selection of drinks, really good beer, decent live band and lovely staff. Downside was all the ciders I tried were extremely sweet and tepid and the BBQ food was AWFUL. £12 for a thin burnt pizza with very little pepperoni and £8 for a very average burger with one slice of kraft cheese and no other toppings or salad. The chips were good but again expensive, and no salt and vinegar were available or other condiments. Strongly recommend sticking to drinks and eating elsewhere until they resume serving the normal food menu.
