The Stafford Arms in Staffordshire Moorlands

This Stafford Arms is situated in the charming village of Bagnall. The restaurant is stylish and the waitresses were excellent and informed us of the specials for the day and were very attentive, without being overly watchful. The menu was extensive and lots of good choices. I had the blade of beef which was sublime. An all round hidden gem 👍

Wow! What sight to behold!Our son said he wanted to take us to a pub for a drink - but that we had to go when it was dark!We didn’t ask why and he didn’t say….So, after nightfall we set off.When we arrived we knew immediately why we had to see this building at night, in all its beautiful glory. With the soft glow of internal light coming from inside, this place looks spectacular. Picture postcard! Chocolate box worthy! Small, quaint, olde worlde.We went inside, to be met by friendly staff, in a deceptively large interior and with the sights and smells of a very popular and busy eatery.We did not dine unfortunately, although I am not sure they would have been able to accommodate us anyway as, from a sneak peak into the dining area, it looked full to capacity.We had a drink in the separate bar area and soaked up the very social atmosphere. We took a look at a menu we discovered and I must say, if the food tastes as good as the menu sounds, I can see why the place is full!•Plenty of parking.•Clearly well loved by the initiated.•Definitely intend to return to sample the Sunday roast!

Best food we have had in a long time, especially the fish dishes. Lovely service and really child friendly (but still a very lovely place for a special meal)

Lovely place and good atmosphere. Comfortable seating. Burgers we had were very peppery to taste. Good triple cooked chips. Lattes good. Pint not so much. Great parkin and ice-cream. Great cheesecake too! Overall would come back and give it another go:)

Really nice atmosphere in a lovely building and very nice staff. Came with 80 year old grandparents who all really enjoyed their dinners. Food was really nice, the beef pie was my choice and was so tasty. Portion size was really good too.

2nd visit. Fantastic place with fantastic food and lovely staff. Had the steak n ale pie and it was beautiful.

Lovely/pub restaurant, only passing by, but looked really nice, so stopped for a pint. Part's of the property date back to 17th century. I did not try the restaurant, so I can't comment. Steeped in history, with a lovey inglenook nook fire place in the bar area.

First time visiting for food ... Beautiful place, great food. Service was fab. We were a large party attending for a Christmas meal, so had pre-ordered our food. Couldn't fault anything. Will definitely be returning and have already recommended to others.

Never been before but heard good things so we booked for a late lunch as a couple. Absolutely beautiful food, gorgeous modern light airy interior, staff were attentive and polite. Probably the best mix grill I’ve ever had. Beautiful presented and tasty good quality ingredients. We will be back very soon!

Excellent service excellent meal very polite and friendly staff
