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
Literally my favourite pub, I go regularly and every time it’s amazing food, great service and such a homely feel! Staff are lovely. By far the best place to go in the local area!
I loved the huge roast dinner ...the delicious pint of No6 ...and the lovely staff. Really worth a visit .... it is a proper pub. And the landlord is a highly amenable and delightfully gracious chap.
The pub is very old and is decorated very tastefully the food is excellent and the staff are very very attentive they have a very good menu
Popped in last Sunday after taking our Labrador for a local walk. Staff were fantastic, helpful and brought over a couple of dog biscuits. Sat next to a beautiful roaring fire... perfect. The light bite sandwiches were hearty fare and great value too!
Will definitely be returning as my partner spotted someone being served a delicious looking Steak Pie. Would certainly recommend the place to anyone searching for a 'real' country Pub.
Visited for the first time today, on a friends recommendation. It's a great traditional pub with good beer and the food is excellent. One of the best Sunday lunches around.
Absolutely amazing food and the staff are lovely, best pie I've ever had ! And will deffo be going back thanks guys xx
Definitely recommend this pub to friends just had the roast beef dinner and sticky toffee pudding yummy yummy yummy tell the chef thank you from us please ������
Fantastic meal, great drink options and amazing value for money! Huge thanks to Tom or served us. Definitely be back!
Had a lovely meal here last night with the girls for Christmas. The food, quality and presentation was fantastic. The staff and management were all so polite and friendly. Made to feel very welcome. Would highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely evening.
Had a lovely family lunch here on Sunday. Lovely cosy, Christmassy atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff and good food. Will definitely go again.
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
Lovely lunch at the Mainwaring Arms today. I had scampi and chips and the chips were delicious. A dreary day outside but the candles and log fires made it a cosy place to enjoy a meal. Recommended.
Hadn't been for a very long time due to the food being terrible but we decided to give it a try as someone said it had been taken over and updated. Well I can say that the food we had was superb and very tasty. Service excellent also. Will go again
Delicious food in this brilliant rural pub. Prices are expensive, but definitely worth it.
Now reopened as part of The Cheshire Cat Pub & Bar Co. Very impressed by the quality of the improvements. Will definitely be frequenting in future.
Setting the scene: a sunny Sunday afternoon, bluebells all around, a babbling river, birds and a truly vintage and yet homely venue for a delicious lunch with local produce, delicious home-made cakes and warm fresh coffee. The service exudes all that one might expect from a place that has served people for centuries. A true delight and one of Staffordshire's must-visit eateries.
