The Crown and Anchor in Stafford

Massive beer garden, clean and tidy inside and out, great selection of drinks and the food is gastro elite. Get the bacon cheese burger it's a sensation. The staff and chef are all class. I'm going back 100%

I have never been in the Crown and Anchor before simply because of the unsavoury drunkenness on Friday and Saturday nights.Today was a Thursday lunchtime and my partner and I decided to give it a go. The place was quiet and rather lovely. Outside area is great despite the artificial grass. But the outstanding thing was the food and the service. 5* on both counts.We will definitely be returning for lunch.

We went approx 8PM, Beer ok! Staff ok! Bouncers…horrendous, barely had anything to drink and when I came to leave, the bouncer at the front door (considering I was sat at the front) said ‘can you leave through the back please’ a long and not easily negotiated route, a route from which I also got spat on as I left and when I found the exit, it was locked…WTF! Then I found out my companions had managed to exit the same way I had originally intended…joke indeed!

No one in the bar and wanted £5 to get in!!! Could have got £100+ from our group buying drinks, ridiculous!?!?

Really good meal, simply menu but excellent quality! Friendly staff and well priced. Would recommend.

The new DJ who did Saturday Night was amazing, a totally different vibe with loads of moments when the whole pub was singing. We had an ace time and will be back most weeks now as there's no where else locally with such a brilliant atmosphere. Well done to the management team and a massive well done to DJ Bart for bringing the party x

Very relaxing bar and dining area, nicely spaced tables. Table service was excellent - very unobtrusive but prompt, friendly and helpful. The food quality was surprisingly decent and good value... given what has to be described as quite an uninspiring menu. But if it's basic stuff done well, along with excellent service, can't grumble.

Had a wonderful time at The Crown and Anchor yesterday, brilliant live entertainment, fabulous service, atmosphere and very responsibly priced. They have a wonderful outside area too. I would highly recommend
