You know, if there's something that frustrates me about Stafford, its the lack of food later in the evening.tek-monkey said:So where serves after 9 on a Friday? We're hungry!
It saddens me to read this kind of comment, because sadly this is true, i grew up in Stafford, and now live and work in Dorset, in the catering industry, and i have to say that food down here is totally different, there is a passion for it, people want good locally sourced products, at a reasonable price, yes we have your wetherspoons and various chains doing what they do, there will always be a need fot these types of places. But it does'nt have to be like this, places like Stafford should have, and can have fantastic food places, it is a farming county, sourcing great local produce, and serving good food, is a passion, yes down here in Dorset we are by the sea and very lucky, that we can get great seafood easily, but i know of great fish suppliers in the Midlands, for some reason, people seem to think that good food comes at a premium, it does'nt.John Marwood said:Generalisation warning
Stafford people who have not lived elsewhere do not understand good food
There are no must places to eat in the town because Stafford is a two for fiver town
A typical Stafford meal out is the cheapest thing on the menu and spend twice as much getting hammered
The Hand and Cleaver at Ranton - 9 minutes by van from Doxey - comes closest tosatisfying the brief but even they have had adjust thier varied menu to cater for the blandness of the borough..
The curry house in mill bank is pleasant enough and the bank house cafe has a fair clientel lynchtimes..
The Swan mafia would have u believe they produce good food - they don't
Good food and Staffordshire are not words generally put together unless its a local tourist board promo... there are exceptions of course but a handful in a county of a mulluon people isnt something to brag about
Further afield the hundred house at norton in salop is wirth a trip, on the other end of the scale try the gt western in wolverhampton for grey peas and bathams
