The best restaurants serving British food in Staffordshire Moorlands West Midlands

Very disappointed tonight we went for the valentine meal. My chocolate fudge cake came with no custard or ice cream we had no chocolate brownies or rose to take home

We recently visited while staying over at Alton Towers and didnt want to eat the mass produced food so went here as its quite local and had decent reviews. We were not disappointed with our choice either, what a fabulous little place! The pub part was busy, but service was quick and there was a nice range of local craft ales. The Thai food was fabulous, one of the best red curries I've had for a long time and the family were all pleased with their choices too. Definitely would recommended if your staying in the area, it's well worth a visit.

Emma and Nick are very welcoming and their food is amazing !!! I recently òcelebrated my Birthday with the Family at home with Emma's take away menu. We thoroughly enjoyed the shin beef in red wine, along with very delicous vegetables and very tasty chocolate marquis. Over many years we have ordered most of the menu and it's always beautifully prepared and very delicious!! Thank you so much for helping me out This is a 5 ***** review !!!!!!! Helen

We enjoyed a great Lunch in the outdoor seating area which is dog friendly so our pooch was very happy. We ordered starters and mains and we were not disappointed. In particular my son and I had the kfc burger, glorious in its own right but the chips with it were sublime. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the lasagne and again the fantastic chips. We couldn’t fit a pudding in as we were all full to bursting. The service was excellent too. The staff were very attentive and we wanted for nothing. A fantastic experience, thank you

My wife and I have been here many times before but for some reason I never tried the steak sandwich (on lightly toasted bloomer bread) until today and it was simply magnificent!!! The chips and gravy were pretty great as well. My wife had the pork and stuffing sandwich which she said was pretty good as well.

We've just had our works Christmas party at the Meg and we all had a great night. Graham and the team did a brilliant job and we're very attentive. We had the party package which included a dj, karoke, photo booth, beer pong and a cold buffet which was well worth the money. Thank you the Meg for a brilliant night!

Took my granddaughter out for lunch today to Cottage Kitchen Cafe, she has to have GF food and is also vegetarian, so not easy. We both had a lovely meal, served by a very pleasant waitress, all the staff were very helpful, an altogether very pleasant experience, thank you, Cottage Kitchen, we'll definitely come again. X

My family and i attended one of the special Christmas dinners laid on later on a Saturday evening in mid December. From the welcome to the food and the service - everything was superb. The restaurant was decorated for the full Christmas experience, (see photos) and a resident guitarist. In fact I was quite full by the end of the night! The turkey was done to perfection - thank you. Will definitely return next year.

22nd Dec 2024. - party of 20. All sat down for 12:30 afternoon, mostly elderly folk. I sat by the window.... very strong smell of sick on the carpet. Spoke to the staff, they left an air fresher to mask the stench. No real effort to clean the carpet or do anything with it. You could still see stains in the carpet from the sick. Not really room to move as the tablets were booked. Everyone had off the Xmas menu. I had prawn cocktail, very bland and really basic. The brown bread wasn't fresh, the crusts were hard ( either still party frozen, been left out to long or stale. The turkey, over cooked. Gravy , thick and like bisto (or was ). Roasts were anaemic.Green beans over done, carrots and parsnips not cooked enough (had more than a bite to them). Stuffing, well it was just packet stuff. The bass beer ! Flat! The staff were all teenagers, they did their best, of what they knew. There chef ( well) I don't think there is one, probably family member who's cooking skills are very basic (or lower). Overall, couldn't wait get out and get away from the stench of sick smell of the carpet. Whoever has given reviews of 5 , have very little standards of any culinary knowledge at all. I won't be returning and probably worst meal Iv ever had out and had to pay for.

Lovely Sunday lunch, great value for money. Food spot on, great service 😀😀

We went for Sunday lunch, which was on a £10 offer, which, to be honest, was all it was worth. The beef was good but difficult to eat as the knife was so blunt. There are lots of different vegetables but only 2 tiny roast potatoes and no mash. Very thin watery gravy and barely warm. Annoying, there wasn't any salt and pepper on the table and we weren't offered horseradish or mustard though it was brought out upon request. The food took an age to come, though the bar was quiet. It's not somewhere we'd re visit. Certainly not worth nearly an hours drive to get there. Bar wasn't cosy, and furniture was uncomfortable. Their social media posts are very good, though.

Never been before but visiting the area decided to have an evening meal . We arrived to find a hen party going on and football as well the noise was horrendous. Nearly walked out but we decided to stay thinking it would be ok once in the dining area . As we had a dog we were sat at a table in the bar amongst the racket. The menu had a poor choice no special board only a miserable list of Pie or burger or Scampi which was poor quality needless to say we didn't finish it we paid up and left as quickly as possible. Never again 😒

Absolutely lovely little pub. Stopped in for a drink and snack on the way back from conglton. First time I’ve been in for years. We only had chips a pint and some ice cream for my daughter but we will definitely be coming back, there’s a nice selection of books and games. Lovely seating area. the food other people were having made me hungry and we had eaten already it looked fantastic. See you again soon

Lovely local country pub Make it part of my Friday end of week to have a pint after a long week me and my dog Lovely place and great friendly staff come summer or winter

Lovely venue, very welcoming and accomodating. Rocky Road exceptional, could be smaller and cost less. This is an extra word.
