A warm and welcoming pub the food was excellent good menu and pricing would highly recommend this pub it was early Saturday evening and bar was buzzing great atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff our first visit and defiantly not our last.
A little gem of a pub,so tonite we cancelled our booking at a chain pub to try here and so glad we did . Staff excellent very friendly excellent service ! We had a sharing platter which was amazing and 2 mains my chicken crown and fiances steak fantastic can't wait to come back highley recomended ! Thank you for a great evening
A little hidden gem of a place. Based on the Dad's Army character, Captain Mainwaring, the place had memorabilia and murals of the cast of the TV show on the walls. The food was different and very good, and you'd better like large helpings!! There are many cosy rooms in which to eat and drink, connected by corridors and tight, winding stairs. The whole place is steeped with character. The pub itself is set in a quaint country area, surrounded by villages, woodland, streams and little bridges.
Lovely place, great friendly staff. Clean and home like feeling in all the snugs around the pub.
I especially love the Dad's Army themed gents toilets! Vera Lynn playing in background. The food is well cooked, no issues.
Nice place to visit. It's a shame you can not book tables, so we had to wait a while, but that's ok if you're not driving. They have a good variety of rums you can try out. Staff are friendly enough some more than others. Food is good a bit pricey for what you get. It's worth going.
Fantastic pub: the best in Staffs - so far - in my opinion (tweed/ Land Rover/ horseracing image).
I visited, from London, on 11th and 13th August 2023 - a real find. Friendly and reasonable prices. Can't wait to return at Christmas!
Busy for a Tuesday but served quickly. Chicken and mash was tasty but the fish and chips was more batter than fish. Service was friendly. The room was a little cold. We will be back.
Only went this time for beers. But will look at going for food very soon. Decent beers with a good choice and reasonably priced for today's beer market. Lovely friendly staff. And a lovely clean place. Watch this space for the food review soon.
What a wonderful pub. We stopped by chance for a Friday lunch and were delighted. Fabulous wine, amazing food (highly recommend fish sharing platter) and staff friendly snd efficient. Wish we lived nearer so we could visit more.
Superb menu choice at reasonable prices - I had sea bass which was delicious. Good range of Real Ales.
Great food and lovely place. Just a shame they don't cater for kids in any way. No children's menu and no high chairs.
Delightful venue for lunch, our dogs enjoyed their specially prepared steak
