Spirits and wine selection in Stafford

“Not been here in years & went for an anniversary meal after a disappointing holiday away. Main menu a little expensive but 2 for £20 offer makes it affordable. Food was outstanding. Hot, fresh & plenty of it - they do not cut portion size for offers like some other places! Service excellent, attentive but not overbearing & no pressure to leave once meal complete. Would highly recommend & my only complaint is about the booking system, which requires card details to book-no problem with this alone but details are held by third party for 24 months which is totally unnecessary & puts our data at risk so would not book in advance & would need to take our chances on the day, as we did today. Will definitely return though, the food is fantastic.”

“Wonderful, independent wine shop with an amazing range of gins and local wines. Lovely staff too.”

“The staff here are great. I normally use the click and collect and they always carry the order to the car. I sometimes pick up some beers or other offers I see while I'm in there too. Nothing is ever a problem.”

“Reasonably priced, well staffed, and a very normal perishable range for a corner shop. Really nice little store. Brand new. I'm reviewing during Covid19 lockdown, and they've been handling it really well. Thank you for being a lifeline for everyone. Also in normal circumstances the shop is very organised, clean, bright, and well-staffed. Product range is very nice for a small store, and covers pretty much anything you might need for a weekly top-up. Staff are always really nice. You could definitely do your entire weekly groceries here, but it's still a local corner shop, not a supermarket. So don't be silly, and have reasonable expectations.”

“All staff members are incredibly welcoming. I would like to say a special thank you to Sue (no idea what your surname is)! She has the most wonderful customer service skills. I regularly shop here and she is one of lifes best. Always friendly, down to earth and caring. Whilst waiting, I have seen her interact with many customers of all ages and she is always so kind with everyone. Many thanks for making my regular shopping trips better than the best!”

“Lovely little boozer. Absolutely what a pub should be. Decent price for a pint and busy due to that.”

“Quaint little pub on the top of a hill, only a little hill but still a hill. Had a cosy log fire, the beer was great and the dog seemed to approve so all good from us”

“We came for the Sunday lunch carvery, generous portions, home cooked and really good. The pub is a ‘proper’ pub , cosy and welcoming will come again .”

“A archetypal country pub in a beautiful rural area. It’s a little tucked away so you’ll need your nav to find it. Once there you’ll not be disappointed. The staff are welcoming and the food is wholesome pub favourites. They also do a fabulous Sunday lunch menu, you’ll have to book to ensure a table. On a Tuesday it’s a Mecca for bikers. They provide brilliant fast food, usually curry’s, burgers, and loads of chips. Its usually packed buts there’s plentiful outdoor seating. I’ve been to the bike meets, and for Sunday lunch. It’s one our favourite country pubs, give a try. Highly recommended.”

“We wish we had a place like this nearer to us! We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and had such lovely service. Highly recommend!”

“The carvery had a great selection, was cooked very well and not dry and a decent amount of meat all for a cheap price. Jodie was our server, and was extremely helpful even though we had a table of 9 and the place was already pretty busy. They also have 0° beer on draft which I haven’t had before which was great - would 100% recommend.”

“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”

“Having had my bag stolen in Couture, we tracked it to The Grapes. Security staff were amazing. They helped me to track my phone, turning the music off to allow us to hear it. We found the stolen bag with people had sat next to us in Couture. Couldn't have asked for more from the staff at the Grapes. As it turns out, they were also playing some great music so we stayed for a dance or two!”
