We moved to Stafford a couple of months ago & have been trying out the various 'hostelries' in the town over the last few weeks. Me & the wife have our opinions, just interested in other folks views on which pub is the best?.

Depends what you like to drink and where you live - support your local as best you can -
We love The Sun in town (lovely real ale - Titanic)
Our local Staffordshire Bull in Parkside is a great pub now, recently taken over x

My favourites in Stafford are as follows - 1) floodgate & no.7 (joint favourites) 2) Rose and Crown 3) The Sun 4) The Swan 5) Market Vaults (best burgers and pint combo) 6) Shewsbury Arms 7) Greyhound (great pub but a little too far for me to walk to hence I rarely go there unless on route to Stafford Rangers).

Prior to the Shrewsbury arms opening I expected them to be higher in my standings. However I've been disappointed by the staff / customer service when I've been in there.

It very much depends on what mood I'm in, but I don't know of a pub I wouldn't go into / wouldn't be happy to have a pint in. We're lucky to live somewhere with such variety of drinking establishments.
