The Moat house is lovely and is set in a nice part of Staffordshire. It's a great place to bring colleagues, friends or family.
It's great for a drink in the bar or outside by the pond. The ducks are so tame that they will walk right up to you. The bar meals are very nice and suit a more laid back dining experience.
The Orangery restaurant feels a little bit more formal and is ideal for celebrations or romantic meals. They also do a fantastic breakfast.
