Bar.and.restaurant in Stafford

“Here for a course for 2 nights just 2 miles away from here, so for me the location was excellent and also quiet for me to relax and study. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Food in the pub is excellent, dare I say some of the best pub food I have ever had. Rooms are very comfortable and relaxing with some lovely extra touches. Excellent beer garden and choice of beers. Really impressed and would love to come back.”

“Enter stay. First time visiting for an afternoon tea. Was very impressed with the interior and the Christmas decorations. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table in the window. The afternoon tea didn’t disappoint. There was a good variety of sandwiches and the fillings were very generous. The scones were delicious, the only niggle was that there was only a small pot of jam between people. The cakes were lovely and the chocolate pot so rich. Will certainly come again.”

“Hubby, me and Hugo our dog. Just visited this wonderful traditional pub. Great service , fantastic accommodation for our dog. And the Sunday lunch was amazing, David had Pork Lion with amazing crackling and I had brisket of beef wow wow wow. Absolutely delicious! Sorry didn’t have a pudding as we were too full. Will try next time.”

“This is my favourite pub in Eccleshall. Beer is by far the best, the atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are friendly. What more could you want?”

“A large group of us had a wonderful meal at the Dog and Doublet, while staying at a local Airb&b. We were treated excellently, by friendly, helpful and very attentive staff. Our food was delicious and came quickly, high quality and worth the money. Definitely recommended.”

“Bit pricey but worth it. Bacon wasn't what I'd call proper streaky but I'm picky. All in all it was great food, well presented and served fairly quickly.”

“Good traditional local, nice safe environment. Well kept beers and good gin selection too”

“Love what the new owners have done with the place. Lovingly refurbished, inside and out, the thatched roof looks amazing. Very good value food, with a great menu. Friendly staff. Would well recommend it.”

“Always a decent place to visit. Whether you’re eating, drinking l, catching up or just want to explore the old building. Cheap drinks and there is a big selection, hot and cold. Food served here too, good enough for the price. Busier at weekends. Always a good place to start a night out. Surprisingly the toilets are on ground level and not half a mile away.”

“Recently started going back here it has improved the food was delicious and hot not a long wait time. Will be back.”

“Gotta love the penny , flying visit on the way up to blackpool”

“I had the cheese steak burger it’s was juicy and flavourful and the chips was equally as nice washed down with a pint of cold river! I was served by Jake the manager on shift couldn’t of been more helpful and kind”

“I came in with my cousin because the steak here is just so good. It’s stunning and we sat outside under the pergola. The food came quick and looked amazing. My chips were not cooked properly and were solid which was a shame and I did return them but I knew I wasn’t going to eat them anyway as my plate was returned with my steak and salad whilst I waited for fresh chips and I can’t eat in that kind of way lol. Regardless the staff were apologetic and asked if I wanted to complain but I said no as the food has never been bad from here before and the steak was still amazing and the salad hence still giving 5 stars. Drinks are lush too love the range of gin available. 100% recommend”

“Great staff, good selection of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails. Lively atmosphere and some great music, private booths available as well. Door staff are polite and courteous. Overall had a good night and experience”
