The Dog and Partridge in East Staffordshire

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere and probably the kindest staff and manager I've seen in a pub in years. I will absolutely be coming back here soon.

This charming pub/ restaurant,never fails.Absolutely first class.

Excellent food for a really reasonable price.

Lovely food, beer (Bass and Landlord) and staff. 10/10

Found this amazing restaurant everything was 5 star and the food was amazing would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for good food, it is always nice to find new places to eat and loved the fireplace with a lovely fire, we will certainly be going back. The staff where amazing

Absolutely splendid,decorated for Christmas.Glowing fires,attentive staff.Ten of us has the most scrumptious Christmas fayre.Hats off to the chefs and staff.You did us proud.Ashley deserves a well earned pat on the back for making all off this possible.

We had a work Christmas meal here tonight and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive. I’ll come again with my family!

Great place , really friendly , lovely cosy setting and great food. Highly recommended. Asian beef and pork belly were delicious

Called in today after a shopping tripfor a couple of pints and a light lunch,,,, If anyone needs an example of how a run down pub should be turned round and managed, call in and have a couple of hours here, Ash and his fantastic team of staff are an example of how to make a great pub, warm, friendly atmosphere, welcoming environment, superb quality and great value for money,,,,, faultless, thanks for your efforts

Absolutely fabulous , warm friendly welcome, super comfortable, excellent service, with quality and great value for money too, a credit to Ash and his fantastic team,, Ade&Steph Davies, Doveridge

Cosy country pub vibe with incredible food and good service. Can't fault it!

Went For Sunday Lunch Amazing Food Everything Lovely And Hot And A Massive Plate Full Lots Of Meat And Lovely Vegetables

An absolute hidden gem. All the home comforts of a lovely country pub, with the exceptional food of a top quality restaurant. Great service even when busy and all tables dog friendly too. Highly recommend. 👌

Excellent meal and fast service especially with a party of 10 will be going again for definite

Possibly the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had in a British pub. From start to finish the staff were friendly and attentive. The pub itself is warm and inviting and buzzing with a mix of those enjoying a drink and diners. The food was simply outstanding, the lamb was perfectly cooked and plentiful and the veg was fresh and beautifully cooked and presented. It was bread and butter pudding for ‘afters’ which was quite simply divine. This was my second visit and definitely will not be the last, the first time I went I had the monstrous mixed grill which was so amazing it would need its very own review. A wonderful visit and a beautiful meal, thank you.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

First visit and not our last. Food beautiful and the whole atmosphere was just like pus should be. Just booking another occasion

First visit and def not our last. Basically how a pub should be. Not sport in any way. Lovely atmosphere lovely staff and above everything else lovely food. Even though busy not a particularly long wait. Appreciate a Saturday night so other nights may not have the same atmosphere but I will be trying another night soon.

What a fabulous little country pub! Came for lunch and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and accommodating and food delivery was quick. My fish and chips were lovely and fresh and the portion was very, very generous. Prosecco batter was beautifully crisp and fish was perfectly cook. Hubby's chicken stack was plentiful and the side of veggies with herby butter just right. Best value for money I have seen in a while. Oh.....and the NZ Savinguon Blanc and Timothy Taylor rounded things off nicely 👍👍👍

Delightful dining experience was recommended by friends, and we were not disappointed. The Carpark is a bit small,I don't think there would be anywhere to park on busy days and evenings , so we'd probably stick to lunchtimes. It's definitely worth a visit, though.

Food was excellent, the beef was so tender. It was very busy so service suffered, long waits between courses. Lots of people in a small space, felt claustrophobic at times. Had to leave before we could have our coffee as our time ran out.

Good food, nice place for conversations and beer

Whether it’s Sunday lunch, Monday grill night or main menu on a Saturday, the team deliver time and time again! What a gem of a country pub. I never take time to write reviews but the consistency and quality of every meal keeps us going back time and time again! Especially for music Sundays. Huge credit to Ashley and Team D&P for creating such a rarity. Waist line friendly portions not served here

Such a lovely village pub, with excellent food.

I don't know how I have managed to not visit before. This was the best pub meal I have had locally for as long as I can recall. A lovely proper village pub with low ceilings, a warm fire, and great service. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The food was excellent, as was the service. We will definitely be back. Parking is very tight.

What a wonderful pub, we were looking for somewhere to eat on our way home from Chester. We were not disappointed, the customer service from Harry and the food was excellent. Best steak and ale pie I have ever had and an amazing bakewell. tart. We will definitely be coming back.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Good choice on the menu. Dogs are welcome so our Staffie enjoyed lunch with us. We will be returning.

From walking in to walking out, we had absolutely no bad words about our visit. The staff were wonderful, the atmosphere lovely and calming and the food just A1+. For the 3 of us, there were plenty of veg, an amazing amount of succulent meat and the gravy.....😋just the best I've had in a very long time! Well done to all involved in todays service.

What a lovely place! We were served by Margaret and a young girl; both made our visit very special. We’ll be back soon :)

For a Monday launch food and drink was excellent, Taylor Landlord & Bass were Festival standards, Steaks were perfect, will definitely be going again

Visited this little gem today with a friend looking for some decent food and a pint! And we were in for a treat! Lovely little pub very friendly and attentive service, the food was outstanding very good quality and well portioned, presented. Highly recommend!

Fish and chips. Amazing huge fish in a lovely light batter. Great price and service.

Recently reopened under new management. Excellent local pub, one side for drinkers and the other for diners. New chef and menu....Excellent food. Beer choices are good and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Difficult to locate and very limited parking, but good food and service. Very popular and always busy. Table booking recommended.

Good food, plenty of it, a proper pub meal at a good price. The best pub meal we've had in ages, will definitely be going again.

The food was beautifully presented and tasty. Portions were generous and great value (we had the lunch menu). Booking was easy online and they were flexible in moving our booking slightly later on the day too which was most helpful. We felt very welcomed by staff when seated and they checked we were happy in a personal, warm and approachable manner at appropriate points. This visit really added to our day- thank you!!

Arrived 5pm,meal arrived 5.30 Sunday beef,piping hot all the trimmings and gravy to die for.

Now been here twice and will most definitely come again the food is just amazing best food my husband and i have eaten the staff are lovely and friendly just a fabulous place 5 stars all the way

Our 1st visit but we're very impressed, food was so lovely we are going again for a scrumptious sounding Sunday lunch...we have booked....yum yum 😋

I came here with friends/family for a little treat. We decided to have a cream tea/afternoon tea. Whilst we were waiting for the rest of our family to come we ordered some drinks, my gin and lemonade was lovely. Then out came our afternoon tea which was beautifully served on a mini wooden tables. There were 7 of us so we ordered 3 of them and it was more than enough. All the sandwiches and cakes were amazing and super tasty! The atmosphere of the pub was nice and relaxed which was exactly what we wanted. Staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us, I would definitely recommend this pub if you want something special in the countryside. I will definitely be back and I urge anyone reading this to take a visit!

We were recommended to try the D&P by friends. Went for lunch and we were very impressed. Friendly staff lovely home cooked food and real value for money. Will definitely go again. If you haven't been yet would suggest you give it a try. If you've already been well done you.

Lovely meal last night at the D and P ! The Pub was really busy which is great to see- Locals and Visitors enjoying this popular venue.Food was excellent and we were very well looked after by Dean👍

We dined on a Friday afternoon , so a bit quite. Still the service was very attentive and efficient. Definitely come again. The steak bab was to die for !!

Went 12th Aug for lunch.We had a lovely welcome and staff were chatty.We both had the Fish ,chips and mushy peas .Fish was a fantastic size,just the right amount of chips and both the peas and tartar were home made.To top it off they sell Timothy Taylor Landlord......very happy 😊 Thank you to all concerned for a lovely lunch

Great food and good friendly people

Really friendly staff, and the steak was very nice. Will definitely come back here again soon

Party of 11 for my daughter's birthday. Choice of food absolutely excellent. Lovely staff and very friendly. When the food arrived it was amazing, every person on our party agreed that the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning. Very good value for money. Thank you Ashley and staff for a fantastic night

A huge thank you to Ash and his team for making my friends birthday a special one. The customer service here is absolutely outstanding and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend the Sunday lunch too 👌🏼 we are very lucky to have this little gem in Marchington!

Fabulous little pub in Marchington. Lovely fresh home cooked food, very good value and nice friendly staff. Check it out if you're anywhere near you won't be disappointed!

Even as a grumpy old man I couldn't find anything to complain about. Food was incredible, staff friendly and well organised and a great little country pub atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Just stopped in for a drink after a day out, we'd seen it earlier as we passed. Looked beautiful! Very friendly and welcoming, gorgeous little beer garden, we didn't eat, but there were plenty that were, so obviously a very popular place.

Found this little gem and so glad we did, the home made chicken, leek & bacon was beatiful. Service excellent & super dog friendly. Thankyou.

I highly recommend the D&P. We visited a couple of days ago and had a fantastic meal, very reasonably priced for the quality of food and the service was faultless. The pub was busy and has a great atmosphere, the staff were very welcoming. I would recommend booking in advance as it’s appears to be very popular now under new management. Looking forward to our next visit.

Meals ok, limited menu. You need to like chips ! Very clean pleasant surroundings, great outdoor beer garden.

I looked at the menu, saw there was nothing as such I could eat as I have dairy and egg intolerance (ie vegan), mentioned it to the waitress,who went to the chef, who offered us a Thai curry!! Fabulous plate of food arrived, curry sauce made from scratch, nearly couldn't eat all of it but managed 🤣 Definitely recommend

What a gem the people and the food. I had mushroom soup devine. Bill had beef sandwich it was for someone who had a good appetite but he said it was beautiful.

We are so lucky to have Ashley as landlord of our much loved village pub. The menu is extensive, food is faultless, and excellent value for money. Daytime offers a budget lunch menu, afternoon tea (need to book) or just pop in for an afternoon coffee and homemade cake. 😋 😋 Even the background music is good! The service, ambience, (including candle lit tables), excellent ales, top notch friendly service and attention to detail sets the benchmark for what a country pub should be.

Fantastic friendly and hospitable staff, superb pub. I only knocked off 1 star because the piped music which was played in all of the bars was just a tad too loud which made having a decent conversation during the meal a bit challenging.

Had a lovely few hours at D&P yesterday afternoon. 12 of us went for lunch before Uttoxeter races. The staff were amazing and very accommodating. The food was very good and great value. The group had a mix of sandwiches, fish and chips and pies, all very good. It's nice to see a traditional pub bustling with punters and we felt very welcome. First time going here and now it'll be our go to ore races lunch spot. Thank you.

Exceptional experience at very reasonable prices. The public house is an outstanding experiance which is rare to find in 2024

Good to see Ahley again as he was until recently manager at The White Hart Uttoxeter. He has certainly got this place buzzing. I had the Belly Pork and it was simply delicious

If 10 stars was an option that’s what I’d put

Lovely place for a meal or a drink.

Didn't eat so can't comment. The bar service & whole feel of the place is great. Live music most Sunday evenings. Will defo go again.

Dean and the staff are very good at looking after you. Food was very good

Food was OK for the price nothing special and I wouldn't travel well out of my way for if I was local I would happily stop again. The main gem of the evening was the staff, they was all fantastic some of the beat service I've had :)

A fantastic, cosy pub with a lovely atmosphere. We visited for a drink as it was my other half's birthday. Children came along too. Lovely Bass beer on cask! No less than three fire places to keep warm and snug. The bar staff were friendly and attentive. It got really busy towards 18:30 ish and the atmosphere was lovely. Every table also got home cooked delicious chips, for free! Will definitely visit again.

Came up from Crewe to meet family who were staying the weekend in this area. Had lunch today not realising it was a limited menu on Mondays but wow it was fantastic. Fab food, excellent value and a very friendly and efficient guy who looked after us. Highly recommend this pub.

Great to have our village pub back and for it to be thriving.

Really disappointed. No high chair for a child provided and was given the worst table with not much space. Food was great but the experience wasn't good for us.

We turned up without a booking on the first Sunday back open. The staff were really accommodating finding us a table for an hours time. It was worth the wait. Lovely little pub with roaring log fires and a cosy feel. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quantity and quality. Even better, the staff were attentive, helpful and friendly.

Great local village pub. Three real ales. Food looked good. Enjoyed Bass top draw. Relaxing place. Recommended.

First time visit since Ashley took over , food started this evening all great nicely presented and hot 🔥 . Pub very clean and warm 💯 will definitely return ,great value for money 💰💰

Brilliant healthy menu. Beautiful foodd and great surroundings. Best meal we've had out for a long time. Thankyou

Best Sunday lunch, friendly staff, special 57th wedding anniversary

Lovely environment to sample pub food of a very high standard. Considering the quality of the food the prices are very reasonable. Recommended.

Great place to watch a band on a Sunday afternoon. Great beer. Friendly and welcoming too.

My dad and I really enjoyed our lunch here.Thankyou Michelle and see you soon xx

A nice country pub. Great service. Lovely atmosphere

Lovely quaint English village pub personified! Great staff, excellent selection of drinks and beautiful decor. The owners are uber friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Food was absolutely fantastic. Service was brilliant I think the waiter was called Riley he was very polite and couldn't do enough. The owners were also great. Thanks for making us welcome 5star.

A brilliant pub with wonderful food atmosphere and staff. We tried it for a Sunday lunch and can recommend it.

I've not yet tried the food here yet, but called in for a beer. Very friendly staff, superb beers, lovely historic pub with relaxing beer garden.

The guy on the bar was extremely rude. And there is no parking. Good was nice though

Cosy local pub atmosphere, excellent food. Friendly service. First visit, will return.

Came across this pub by accident after visiting The Children’s Country House in Sudbury and I’m so glad we did. Quaint country pub with the friendliest staff ever. The food was absolutely out of this world, cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of seasoning. Delicious! We also loved the country music! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely return and would also recommend to others in a heartbeat!

Brilliant night brilliant staff and brilliant food

Lovely sunday roast, homemade food and great staff

Really nice food and lovely little pub

Very nice food and welcoming staff .

Absolutely cannot fault the service, food and personal touch which we received yesterday for Mothers Day. Such kindest & excellent attention to detail from the staff. Two mums out treating ourselves, we were looked after in every way. Even given a plant each to take home. Well done! Wouldn’t hesitate to return again. All the best Alison & Judy xx

Very friendly staff, unusual choices on the menu. Food was excellent

Amazing steak cooked to your liking, hard thing to find these days. Lovely helpfull staff. Warm and cosy.

Popped in on the way past for Sunday lunch with 2 young children, great food and service

Fantastic food, fantastic service

My local since moving back into the village in 2019. Excellent range of beers including alcohol free if you must. Good variety of menus and always made very welcome.

Quaint village pub with excellent food and service. Had Sunday lunch great choice, food was nice and hot. Lovely atmosphere.

Great Sunday lunch, highly recommended

Excellent food and friendly service. Definitely shall visit again. 😁
