Looking for a pub that does a great Sunday roast

[Alesto]

We're celebrating my son's birthday in a couple of weeks and he's suggested going for a roast dinner somewhere. Anybody any recommendations? Willing to travel up to 10-15 miles or so from Stafford and price not really a problem. Still welcome any suggestions if any further away if you consider it a great place to go. Many Thanks

I've had some top nosh at the Shrewsbury Arms, Kingstone, although it was a couple of years ago. If they do Sunday roasts and the place is the same as it was then, then I would recommend it. Might be worth ringing. Anybody been recently?

The Bell at Haughton but book it NOW !......

Aston Marina?

Actually, not sure of mileage but Goldstone Hall nr Mkt Drytn, ruddy marverlous

Further afield, The Hundred House, Norton, Salop. Class

 

[proactive]

The Hollybush in Salt.

I've got my cuffy finger ready for anyone who mentions the Radford Bank..

My votes with the Holly Bush.. I don't think you can book though

 

[Gaschy]

Three Crowns at Little Stoke (Stone) do some great food - never eaten there on a Sunday but would definitely recommend. You will need to book though for a weekend.

You've been to Goldstone Hall? What's it like? I've never quite plucked-up the courage to go. It is supposed to be amazing but I have built it up in my mind to Downton Abbey proportions and fear I could never muster sufficient smartness. I came closest a couple of Sundays ago, when we walked along the canal from Gnosall to Market Drayton. We stopped for a drink outside Goldstone Wharf. Muddy dogs, wellingtons and a packed lunch. So not THAT close to Goldstone Hall, really.

Its not posh duck

Its just a well run family gaff with good food and drink - at the upper end of the price range but you get what you pay for

slax n hush puppies, sports jacket optional

In that case, I might try it! Quite a lot of the people in the village go there but they tend to be the hunters-and-shooters, which is probably where I got the impression that we'd have to wear long frocks. And my husband doesn't like going out in public like that.

He promised me....

The Hand and Cleaver in Ranton did do a smashing roast. Think it's under new owners now though. Or not even open. So in fact, perhaps not the best recommendation..

I am told The Bear at Hodnet http://www.bearathodnet.co.uk/ is very good for roasts, but not tried myself yet.
