  “Stopped in for a drink as we passed by kayaking on the canal. Liked it so much we went back once we finished for dinner. Food was great and the staff were brilliant. Clearly a busy evening for them but they coped fantastically under the pressure. Will definitely return next time we're paddling that way.”

  “We had a fantastic visit to the Ash Tree in Rugeley. The food was delicious, with generous portions and plenty of choice on the menu. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making us feel well looked after from the moment we arrived. The pub has a lovely atmosphere, is clean and comfortable, and the canalside setting makes it an even more enjoyable place to relax. Whether you’re popping in for a family meal, drinks with friends, or a Sunday lunch, I’d definitely recommend the Ash Tree. We’ll certainly be back!”

  “Absolutely brilliant experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was outstanding. A special mention has to go to Lydia, who looked after us all evening. She was so friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Nothing was too much trouble, and her positive attitude really made our visit even better. Excellent customer service like that makes all the difference. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this pub!”

  “The pub wasnt too busy when we visited but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming with a very homely feeling. We were greeted by the very friendly Lilly on arrival who showed us to our table and was incredibly nice in our interaction which continued throughout our time there. Macy who was working the bar who was very busy preparing app orders was extremely pleasant and super quick at taking and preparing orders at the bar and through the app. When finished our meals,which although simple in appearance were incredibly tasty, we went to sit outside in the spacious and comfortable garden area next to canal ordered drinks through the app which was an easy process and they were delivered promptly with a smile. Overall a great experience, one which my family and I shall definitely be trying again 😁”

  “Very disappointing meal. I had hunters chicken which should be renamed hunters sparrow as the size of the breast was very small. The salad was a token gesture and the chips were cooked to within an inch of their lives. My wife had a very dry jacket potato and my friend had a tuna melt baguette which looked very unappealing along with fries that had been cooked for so long there was no potato left inside. Terrible food and terrible prices. I will not be returning and will warn of my friends as well”

  “Was poor in comparison to previous visits, staff looked miserable no help at all had reserved a table and asked if we could sit outside and was like of course and just left us to it so we picked up the menus off the table that was reserved for us along with the cutlery etc and another staff member went those are not for outside snatched it from my son and then shoved a metal pot at him. I then had to ask for menus they are there on the side the one in the post box by the door with a huff an and eye roll it was like I should have known. By this point o was on edge but we were all hungry. Went to the bar to order the same rude lady said just scan the table I said I had blue light so couldn’t and she walked off and left me with the other lady.Our order was wrong admittedly I never said anything after the poor service we already had, the steak I ordered was mostly fat ordered it medium half was well cooked the rest was rare. Chips were lovely and the other meals even though was wrong was nice. Think will be a while before we use again.”

  “Staff were friendly, the place was clean, we wasn't rushed into making our choice of food. The food came out fairly quickly, and was very tasty. Will be heading back again soon.”

  “After spending £64 on two meals and two drinks was bitterly disappointed . My Sunday lunch was lukewarm warm the meat was tough ( beef) the veg over cooked and my plate was swimming in gravy , plates were too small I have to say it was the worse Sunday lunch I’ve ever eaten out . My husband had a sirloin steak weldone the meat was tough and his chips very dry and his chips were stuck together . After speaking with the manager we were offered another meal .WHY would I want another meal when the first one was so bad . A refund or part refund would have been acceptable . Safe to say we will not be visiting again .”

  “Would usually go to Wetherspoons for a Saturday late lunch early dinner with the family but it was chockka so had a look around and ended up at the ash tree and couldn’t be happier about that decision. It was relatively quiet when we arrived and spoke to the person behind the bar who found us a table for 6, was advised they needed it back for 730 as it was reserved but that still gave us just under 2 hours to eat which was perfect. Most tales had a reserved sign on them so it seemed like it was going to get busy. Atmosphere was lovely, not showing the sport or anything like that so was a nice dining experience for the family. Big variety on the menu for a decent price, slightly over what you pay elsewhere but when the food arrived and it was fresh, hot and delicious I know why we paid more and more than happy to do so. Food arrived quickly and correctly, staff were friendly throughout. Between us we had scampi, burgers, curry, pasta and gammon and all was really well prepared Small play area outside which was nice for the kids and kept the quiet before the food came. Would eat here again in a heartbeat”
