The best restaurants in Staffordshire Moorlands West Midlands

Absolutely exceptional food, with careful use of a rainbow of very fresh ingredients that really sharpened the flavours. The most delicious Nan I think I’ve ever had. Friendly and efficient service, a great space with appropriate lights and decorations under the brick vaults of this lovely building. The owner introduced himself and was more than happy to answer our questions about the site and tell us about the history of the business which has a sister site in Beaconsfield which coincidentally we also knew. Such a lovely evening and highly recommended, with thanks to this hard working family and staff.

Good old fashioned pub,full of locals having a drink

Great little pub, tasty pizzas, friendly staff and a great atmosphere! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area

Visited here twice during a weekend break; the pub has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff and owners would definitely come back if I was in the area. Dog and toddler friendly.

Wonderful gluten free oatcakes! I ordered from their website and were delivered within 48 hours. I ordered 5 packs of 6 gluten free oatcakes and they're just like the usual oatcakes. I would 100% recommend Poveys Oatcakes 😍

Went there with three another 3 friends. It was my turn to choose the venue and we were not disappointed. Food was good, the service was prompt even though the place was busy, which is always a good sign . We all had a three course meal which cost us £30 so I think that is more than decent. I would not hesitate to go back there and I thoroughly recommend you give this venue a go

This is a fabulous country pub, with lots of lovely nooks and crannies. We had the roasts, turkey and pork, and they were quite possibly the best we’ve ever had. The meat was ‘melt in the mouth’ quality, and the veg superb. The Yorkshire Pudding was suitably large and delicious. The service was excellent and very friendly too. Highly recommended.

Good local tradition pub. Best in leek.

Ancient local with handpull, wood burner and lovely owners. Saturday's karaoke is a cozy little hoot.

Unfortunately there are no longer any free-from offerings. It's such a shame as my family used to really enjoy cakes from here. Many successful eateries just don't label their products vegan or gluten-free and they sell really well. Those of us with dietary requirements will ask what's suitable for us anyway...offering one free-from GF option shouldn't be too hard in 2022.

Lovely meal with family including children. Thank you each meal was delicious . Staff very friendly and considerate. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, great sized portions and very tasty

Its a grand out of the way pub in Cauldon Lowe. Like a dreamworld of artefacts and old buggers sharing smiles and tales. Good beers

Top notch evening out with old friends. We went to 'The Shrew' for dinner and a couple beers. The place and staff were lovely. Beer was well kept too. I had the pie (steak, ale & stilton) which was truly delicious. Overall a very nice evening night catching up over good food and beer

Nice ambience 2 log burners, great food and great service. Well recommended
