Phew...!I'm workin 2mrw night!!!
Anything could happen - although I failed, in my excitement, to enquire about the cider situation...Outside music making a return? Are a few pics of it on the website.
Ya cheeky git! xxPhew...!
I did notice, during our reconnaissance the other day, that the Farm Shop at Aston Marina has quite a substantial gluten-free section, which might be of interest.Here's an idea: gluten free options!
this is defo somet we are looking in to, thanks for the sugestionI did notice, during our reconnaissance the other day, that the Farm Shop at Aston Marina has quite a substantial gluten-free section, which might be of interest.
we will defo be arranging music nites and hopefully if we can get some nice weather outside we can arrange this again, also we do have 4 bottled cider's along with thatchers on draftOutside music making a return? Are a few pics of it on the website.
i have to admit i only know of this place fom our customers but it is nice to have a place were they can come and air there views as with me i wouldnt really go to a manger and offer my opinion so please all keep them coming good or maybe not so all weather good or bad theres always things that can be doneExcellent! That's exactly the sort of thing Stafford Forum is for. Too many local businesses come here, post an advert, and then we never see them again. Our users (affectionately known as Forumites) hate that, so you have done exactly the right thing here.
Indeed. Local businesses are only now starting to realise the importance of places like Stafford Forum, the free market research and feedback they can get, the level of customer interaction, etc.
I'd say you're definitely headed down a successful path, top totty!
i defo agree with you there music is good but when you meet a few friends or family for a drink its nice to be able to talk and be able to here them, we do have music but it is background music but as i have always said if your ever at the stafford Ale House and find that the music was to loude mention this to staff and were all happy for nock it down for you. thanksI don't know if it's already been mentioned but,if you're having music,can it be set at a level where you can hear yrsen think please? There's nowt worse than havin keep shoutin in someones lugholes all night cos the music's all boom boom stuff. It would be nice to see the place as a 'proper pub',rather than go down the lines of the Castle Tavern just before it closed. I think the bloke running it wanted it be more like a trendy wine bar than a local pub. I agree with DB,good food,cozy and comfortable.
i can tell you guys i no i havnt replied to you for couple of days but comments have been checked daily we are going to have a selection of both the pie's on the menu as this post has shown use ppl all like diffrent thing, so pie minister will be available also the company we were using before P&A closed, so if you have any sugestions feel free to mention.indeed - i am a drum & bass/dubstep/metal/etc. fan, but when i go out for a drink and a bite to eat, i want to be able to enjoy the company i'm with & hear what they're saying!
obviously, at night time the volume can be turned up a little, natch
pieminister pies are ok, but i have to say i preferred it when pie & ale swapped to tiggy's (or whichever local supplier it was).. more variety, fresher pies - aycan even put a couple on the menu at our request (i.e. he was in direct contact with whoever created them, so ordered bespoke pies if he felt demand would be high enough)!
i, personally, would rather see good, local stuff, than pieminister pies (which you can buy in saino's and tesco)..
comments have been noted guys, and as we would like to keep as many happy we will have a selection of the 2 and as you have mentionedindeed - i am a drum & bass/dubstep/metal/etc. fan, but when i go out for a drink and a bite to eat, i want to be able to enjoy the company i'm with & hear what they're saying!

wuld be good to here the sort of things you would like on the viggie options, naturally we will have choices but always good to know what ppl would like if you dont mindI very much like the idea of somewhere offering free wi-fi - that would be a bid draw. I'm much more of a 'nice place for lunch' girl then I am a 'big night out' girl - Currently I like No. 15 or The Bank House for lunches, they've got an interesting selection of nice panini, proper baguettes, bagels, or wraps or something like that - It would be nice to have somewhere that isn't pub food, but does do bowls of chips, curly fries.
If you need to pull us in it also needs to have a good range of veggie options, more then just an apologetic mozzarella and tomato toastie. Thinking about, we used to go the the surgery a lot when it used to do food as it pretty much did the above.
I like nice cake, home made but not too fancy and decent selection of drinks, alcoholic and non alcoholic.
Music wise, a nice range of stuff in the day time, and I'm glad it's reopening because the function / space upstairs worked really well for events like The Ford Squad / Art Hole etc so it would be good to see that put to good use.
i no what you meen i have been working in the building over 2 years ow and still a bit scary xOoooo just thought of something. I don't think you'll be able to do anything about it though. Being a bit creaky, i use the downstairs loo, so have to go past the stairs. I will admit to finding the stairwell up extemely creepy and i'll even go as far as saying it scares me. No idea why, it's just a feeling i get everytime i'm there. It's worse when upstairs isn't used and it's dark.
Now i'm not expecting anything done as it's just me lol. Just wanted to say in case you ever see me practically running out of there lol.

there is historicly 3 ghost that we are aware of, we are working on getting all the history asfar back as we can as to the history of the building but we have found out that our building is the oldest in staffordthat staircase is creepy coz of the ghost of that guy from not stafford who killed ppl not in stafford and lived in that building for about 5 mins, yes yes?
