Deep in the heart of the
Staffordshire countryside lies this giant mansion that’s amazingly been turned
into a pub. It’s owned by a restaurant group but it’s very welcome to drinkers
as well. It’s opposite the village green, but in the dark it feels as if it has
its own grounds. There’s a beautiful pillar archway on the doorstep to the pub,
and above the window is a stone carving of a red lion. Upon entry, there’s a
large variety of lunge seating with coffee tables to nest our drinks upon,
while a large restaurant faces the other side of the bar. There’s also oak
panelling and traditional tiles. The nibbles are excellent; and the tapas is
worth ordering but beware- the sausages are very addictive. I shared two
portions and my friend ordered a third for himself. The staff are very
welcoming but it’s just missing that bit of history that you hope to find here.
