The best restaurants serving British food in Yoxall East Staffordshire West Midlands

This is the second time that we have eaten in The Ballroom restaurant at Hoar Cross Hall Like any restaurant, all three of the crucial elements need to be right for it to be considered exceptional, the food, the ambiance and the quality of the service The Ballroom at Hoar Cross Hall cannot be faulted, excellent food, beautifully prepared and presented, served by charming, attentive and knowledgeable staff in a magnificent setting

My husband and myself decided to have a drive out and have lunch at this venue. We had a lovely welcome. Two young ladies with lovely smiles. We opted for the fixed price lunch menu. My husband had the local butcher's sausage on mash and lovely fresh veg. He also had lovely leek and potato soup for a starter with warm bread. To start I had prawn cocktail which was really nice again with warm bread and butter. My main was the mini fish pie and veg. Well it's wasn't very mini. It was beautiful. We had a side of home made onion rings. Just lovely. The whole thing from start to finish was thoroughly enjoyed by us. Definitely worth the trip out from Stonnall. Thank you ladies for your lovely service and chef for beautiful food. We will be back. We can't recommend the Forester's highly enough.

We had a really lovely experience at our visit on Saturday evening … really tasty Grapefruit Cocktail, a knowledgeable’ wine man’ called Andy (sorry we didn’t get his last name but he has been with you for about 7 weeks..) .. his story and journey to Hoar Cross was lovely to hear … French onion soup was gorgeous although we did all think the portion size was small. The beef and dumpling were to die for … food absolutely wonderful. This was topped by our waitress called Charlotte (Plumb) .. she was attentive, professional and welcoming but her sparkle of humour was a breath of fresh air and she made us all laugh out loud .. thank you xx

Room was absolutely freezing. Asked numerous times for the heating to be put on but Billy failed to turn it on. Will never return.
