Town centre is terrible, nightlife terrible and not enough places to eat out, if my job moved I would move with it!
To say Stafford has a rubbish nightlife is utter nonsense. If you're expecting Stafford to be like a big city, then you're being foolish.
The live music that takes place every week at pubs like The Grapes, Rose & Crown, Bear & Pheasant, Joxer Brady's, the national and internationally renowned DJ's that Couture and The Post House have put on (including Hed Kandi and Gatecrasher DJ's) is brilliant for a small town.
The live stand-up comedy available in Stafford is, frankly, unrivaled by nearby cities like Stoke and Wolves.
On top of that, The Gatehouse Theatre attracts huge TV stars of comedy, and is committed to local drama groups. The yearly Festivals at the Castle.
It might not be what YOU want to do, but Stafford has a lot of entertainment and culture going on for anybody who wants to leave their sofa or bar stool.
