Moving to Stafford—where should I live?

The Market Vaults is a very good pub. Have you also tried the Rose and Crown, Floodgate, Swan and The Sun.

Not yet, but I'll add them to my list. I've so far done the picture house, the radford bank, and market vault, where I've since stayed. I went to sample the microbrews at the Floodgate a couple of days ago during the afternoon but it was closed. I'm planning on checking out it soon though.

So I found my perfect pub: The Market Vaults. And it's in cycle distance so that's a win.

I hope you don't attempt cycling in this weather.

 

[Stark2k]

The weather's been okay. A few showers, but otherwise, nice and sunny/warm. Nothing a waterproof jacket can't handle.

Doxey has been declared an official Quaker zone by The Methodists

The buffet on the Virgin trains being the nearest licence premises

Imagine, there used to be Three Tuns of beer there.

Excellent choice - it's many people's perfect pub - mine included!

In addition to @markpa12003's list, The Greyhound opposite the prison is a favourite among the real ale fraternity. Personally I've never thought it had the atmosphere of the Vaults or the Rose & Crown, but the beer is particularly good so it's certainly worth checking out.

As mentioned above, the Greyhound is also a very good pub. However, its a little out of town and, for me, lacks the atmosphere / friendliness of the other pubs I mentioned in my previous post.

*I'm sure the Greyhound is a very friendly pub if your a regular visitor and know the locals - I'm an infrequent visitor to the pub.

Seems a good enough thread. Giving consideration to a house on Fonthill Road. Is it alright? Not a million miles from there now but just checking .

One of my best mates lives on Fontil. Huge back garden, big enough house and safe and secure. She's very happy there.

 

[PeterD]

Thanks. Still waiting for the details from Connells.

I've got a mate that lives on fonthill too, however you are more likely to know his dog, Misty. I think it's a nice area with decent open space nearby and, of course, the mighty Stafford Rangers.

 

[Gramaisc]

Obviously, the general area around there is very select, but I may be able to influence the Neighbourhood Watch Committee's vetting procedures.

Fonthil itself is one least affected of all the Sandon Road offshoots by the modern curse of street and/or footpath parking.

Is Misty a little, blue Staffy?

Im not a dog expert but she looks more like a border collie.

Chap down the pub has a border collie that's frightened of sheep.

Our Welsh collie isn't that keen on them.
