The best restaurants serving British food in Needwood East Staffordshire West Midlands

Little gem of a pub with restaurant. Food excellent, as well as service. Best to book to guarantee a table. Good choice of dishes for every course

Arrived late as a rather frazzled mum with two hungry young children in tow and our lively young golden retriever. Fantastic friendly welcome from the owners. Dave the owner offered to take my dog off my hands while I got the kids sorted - and even took the dog outside for a wee as we had been driving for 8 hours! Above and beyond. I had called ahead to reserve a table and had a delicious main course of stuffed pheasant and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The children enjoyed their meals too. Wonderful relaxed environment where you can have a chat and everyone can feel at home. First discovered this pub in 2018 - it was my favourite pub then for the warm welcome and sticky toffee pudding and this has continued with the new owners! Definitely recommend if you are in the area - this pub is the real deal! Hope we can return soon.

The Landlord was very friendly, sociable and nothing was too much trouble. He went out of his way to ask about and accommodate any preferences.....superb customer care. The food was good, hot and well presented. The Marston's Pedigree was good and the drivers well accommodated with various hot drinks.. The place was nice and warm even on a cold day....excellent ambiance. I would recommend without a doubt and will return again.

We booked a film and meal . Went to see Paddington in Peru - lovely gentle film which we enjoyed immensely. Table was automatically booked for time the film ended. We were led straight to our table and ordered our drinks. We chose our meal and ordered when the perfectly timed and delivered drinks arrived . The pate and fish and chips we’d chosen were very tasty. The staff couldn’t have been nicer throughout and we had a really enjoyable evening. Thank guys.

After going to our usual eateries at Barton Marina and all full, we tried “The Waterfront” it’s been a while. We were so lucky one table left. Found the bar staff so welcoming and extremely helpful. A really buzz and Twixmas vibe. So quick and efficient service. Thank you, we did not go hungry.

Sunday lunch was fabulous. Really tasty, best I’ve had in a very long time. The pub looks nothing from the outside, so we visited based on good Trip Advisor reviews and weren’t disappointed. Will definitely return. Price was excellent value for money.

Refurbished and looking stunning
