Reviews in Stafford

A lovely meal, the staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and the menu had some interesting twists.

Fantastic. 5* in every way.... I'm am extremely pleased Pastiche has returned.

Lovely meal with friends. Good value. Great tasting food and great service from friendly and efficient staff

Small menu , but good, well cooked and well presented food and good value for money. The only thing that let us down slightly was the service, could have been a little more attentive, otherwise we can't fault it.

Lovely meal with friends . Great to have Pastiche open again .

Had a wonderful meal at Pastiche last night. Delicious food, and friendly and attentive staff!

So good to see Pastiche and John back in its old location ! Everything was great, the food excellent , the staff were friendly and the value for money was so nice. Thank you all, we will be back, highly recommended.

After my mum had a brilliant meal midweek last week, we decided to go again on the weekend and it was such lovely food! Brilliant value, lovely staff and atmosphere- couldn’t recommend enough!

This is the second time I’ve been to the new Pastiche since it opened and again it didn’t disappoint. Wonderful food at an amazing price. Service second to none. I’ll be back and spreading the word to friends and family. So glad you’re back!!!

I have patronised the Royal Bangkok for over 20 years. Excellent tasty food. Other Thai I try don’t compare. Don’t be put off by the premises. This is a hidden gem.

Just spent a weekend at the Moat House and have to say the food was excellent. Beautifully cooked and presented and well deserving of its two AA rosettes. Good wine list too. If you can, snag a table looking out onto the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal.

Found this pub at the end of a long walk through Cannock Chase and along the Trent & Mersey Canal. It’s not far from Rugeley. We ate outside and although a bit noisy from the road junction it’s a pleasant enough spot with the River Trent running nearby. Food was good and a nice selection of wines too. Service a bit curt.

Not happy with the salad I ordered. It was ham and pineapple, the salad was satisfactory but the ham was terrible it was the cheapest thin cut ham . I can buy the same looking ham very cheap in the super market. I would have expected home cooked ham for the price charged. Can you not serve better ham? Would appreciate your reply to this complaint I know I should have complained at lunch time when we were there but as I was being taken out it would have embarrassed the person paying for me.

My wife and I came across this bistro by accident ,on a Sunday lunch time. We were very warmly welcomed by staff and locals. The food was very good, not the usual canteen type ,served in so many places , the food and service providing first class value., we would, and will recommend it and be returning.

Booked a table for two for Sunday Lunch today. Arrived at the beautifully presented restaurant, shown into the bar for drinks. Ordered spinach/mushroom tart and calamari for starters and roast lamb for main course. Crepe with Kirsch and cherries for pudding. All excellent will certainly go again. Lovely!

Purchased a "We Love Local" voucher for a meal at this restaurant. Comprising - Starter, Main course and Glass of Wine for two people. We live over 1 hour away so decided to make a day of it with a visit to the RAF Museum at Cosford then travel up to Stowe-by-Chartley. We were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed and had a pre-dinner drink. The food was excellent, the wine good and we ordered desserts and coffee as well. Will put ourselves out again for this excellent restaurant.

Bella Italia is our favourite restaurant, me and my partner have been to Manchester on loads of times thats our favourite place to go. We`ve also been to the Blackpool one, and this one in Stoke on Trent we think its fab, excellent food, quick service. We both love Italian food I would recommend this to anyone that loves Italian. I seem to stick to Bella Italia restaurants, I don't seem to venture out much because it's that good we keep coming back for more , Donna.

Called in to night after seeing signs on the main road. Wanted to see menus which one was given and informed that it was not the usual one. Hospitality nil and felt we were in a dentists surgery rather than a restaurant .We really liked the look of the place and would have certainly been back to eat. Spoke to another diner who said the food was great but the welcome didnt exsist.Very uncomfortable feeling for strangers, perhaps a one off night but I dont think so
