Went on Saturday night for tea with four others.
Cracking pint of pedigree, great service, shame about the food.
Small portions all round, my mash had a skin on it and lamb was very fatty.
Portion control on deserts a bit haphazard, some being huge and others quite small.
Overall wouldn't be rushing back.

If anyone is puzzled about the location of the Roe Buck, it reverted to its original name, the Wolseley Arms, in 1963.

If memory serves me correctly the Wolseley name was changed to the Roebuck in the mid 1870s when the original Roebuck, across the road, closed. At that time the Wolseley had a reputation as a house of ill-repute and the thought was to acquire the better reputation of the Roebuck along with the name. The name became the Roebuck & Wolseley Arms in 1952 and I have the date of the reversion to Wolseley Arms as 1963 but need to check the references, Vintage Inns might be right

That's kind of ironic - i always think of The Trumpet as The Trumpet, even though it hasn't been for a while...

Disappointing, kids running around. First two things we tried to order, including one of the "chef's specials", were unavailable.
Bro's king prawn linguine had only three prawns and they were tough. Dried out garlic bread, chips were dry without being crisp. My steak was fine, very tasty and cooked spot on medium rare.
Won't be rushing back.

I never knew this existed. Google maps seems to suggest that it's adjacent to the layby near the green road sign approaching Wolseley Bridge from Stafford. If I can't locate it using 21st century technology, then it's more than paid for itself.

It's well hidden in the brambles but yes it's at the end of the layby furthest from the pub, you can just make out the squareness of the bricks

It used to be plainly visible in the 70s.

It's so obscured now that I wondered if it had been removed and went to look for it a few years ago.
