Black Lake Inn in Stafford

Not been for a little while, very happy we calledin again.Fish Friday is a bargain, 2 fish, chips and mushy peas, with a glass of wine or a j2o, £20. It was really nice and a good size portion, the wine was OK and you could have red, white or rose.This place still has the guest beers on as well, so no problem if you are like me and enjoy a pint.Good atmosphere and the staff were pleasant, clean and comfortable. Not much more you could want.

Lovely country pub atmosphere. Food menu was great and the food was very tasty indeed. The staff were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Great selection of beers, largers and wine at a fair price. We had a really nice dining experience thankyou

We are frequent visitors to the Black lake but visited tonight for our sons 21st birthday. Staff were as always very pleasant and attentive even though they were busy.Especially the young lady that served our table who is a credit to you. They all wished my son a Happy Birthday. Food as always was lovely and a slight oversight was rectified quickly with no fuss. They were very accommodating earlier in the day when I arrived arms full with birthday cake and balloons, and the table was set and decorated before our arrival. My only slight issue I have and it is only down to personal taste it can we have some different desserts please maybe a lemon meringue, crème brûlée, or waffles/pancakes. Only a suggestion but overall 10/10 best place local to us for decent food and drink.

Loved it friendly staff nice and clean, good food.We booked for next Friday.Fish night 2 x Haddock and chips two glasses of wine £20 not bad.We all had haddock chips and peas prefect.With a glass wine spot on worth a visit 5 stars

Absolutely beautiful. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Nothing too much trouble. Food delicious and plentiful. Prices very reasonable. Will definitely be going back. Thanks for a delightful evening. 😊

First time visiting. Table booked for 5.30pm on a Sunday, we were sat down promptly and drinks and food orders taken pretty quickly. That's where the service kind of stopped for a while. Food arrived almost an hour after ordering, we asked for another round of drinks as the food came, we didn't have chance to ask anyone whilst waiting for food as the staff literally never stopped for a second. Within 2 minutes we had another staff member ask if we wanted drinks, 5 minutes after that we'd been table checked twice then nothing again. It was meant to be a two hour booking, by 7.15 we'd only had one course, no one had cleared plates or asked if we wanted any more courses. We had to go ask for the bill at the bar.I will say, the food was incredible, my fillet steak done perfectly, the staff were great but quite obviously there wasn't enough of them to look after each table properly. We'd return again when quieter. Lovely place but quite obviously understaffed for how busy it was which is understandable after everything that's happened and the shortage of people in hospitality but book out tables according to your capabilities.

Booked a table @ 13.00hr 12/02/22my mother & I were welcomed by warm & friendly staff, shown to our table where we made ourselves comfortable. We were then handed the menu. We ordered drinks then our lunch soon our meal came very well presented by the front of house staff who were very helpful & pleasant. We both really enjoyed our meal at a very reasonable price I've paid a lot more for a meal elsewhere like M&C would highly recommend The Black Lake Inn

Nice place to eat, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had to eat in the bar as the restaurant was full and we hadn't booked, although we were given the option of waiting for a table.Prices not the cheapest but food was nice and large portions.

Lovely pub restaurant, country pub, food delicious, reasonable cost, staff friendly and helpful. Decor of pub is lovely and lots of flowers, hanging baskets outside too. Plenty of parking. We were a family party of 7, food arrived all hot and fresh, everyone enjoyed their food. We will definately be visiting again. Glad we found it, would recommend. We have paid 2 more visits as a couple, every bit as good as the first.

very nice venue that has so much more than can ve seen from the road, excellent menu although limited, the food was excellent and i have no complaints whatsoever.The staff I must say have been the friendliest and most attentive I have met I a long long time so the management need to be congratulate them and be congratulated themselves.large car park but beware the venue appears very quickly on a fast road to take care on approach. wohld highly recommend the hammock and mustard starter.
