About Bod Stafford
At 57-59 Bodmin Ave in Stafford, Bod Stafford serves as a taphouse for Titanic Brewery, with Titanic beers including the Plumb Porter on offer alongside a wine list that runs from Dea Del Mare Pinot Grigio to Fioroso Rose. The menu, spanning 26 dishes, covers breakfast and lunch, with sausage rolls, including a black pudding version, and a ploughman's platter, plus cakes displayed near a separate hot drinks bar. A kids menu suits families with young children, and the step-free entrance allows easy access for visitors with mobility needs. Dogs are welcome inside, and outdoor seating extends the space for those who want to sit outside. Takeaway is available for anyone eating off site. It operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily, though the kitchen leans toward daytime service rather than evening dining.

Customer Review Summary
Sausage rolls come up repeatedly as the thing to order, whether paired with coffee at the hot drinks bar or alongside the real ales and Titanic Brewery beer several mention by name. The cakes on display draw consistent notice too, though the food itself gets mixed marks: one reviewer found a teacake more like a "wholemeal bun" with little fruit, another describes a lukewarm English breakfast that put them off returning, while others call the home cooked food and cakes "lovely" at reasonable prices. The lively, relaxing atmosphere and dog and family friendly setup are praised often, with live music and outdoor seating also noted. One reviewer, though, describes staff as arrogant with favourites who belittled other customers, a sharp contrast to others who found the staff warm and welcoming. Several say they'll return to try the real ales.

“This is just the best coffee shop in Stafford by a mark. What you want is friendly service, good coffee, nice food, reasonable prices. This has them all, whether you want just a good coffee, breakfast at 8:30, soup and a roll, or Nachos and a beer in the evening. I love this place, and the staff are always golden. Good also for a wide age range, and dog walkers. Also, the basics, parking is free and easy, you can nearly always find a table, and good for prams and wheelchairs ... what is not to like?? Uodate The photo shows the Mexican Bowl Sald to which I added Fahita Chicken ... one of the best meals I have had in a long time!”

“Popped in for a coffee and a snack we must have arrived in-between shifts very little choice to eat. My latte was great, the sausage roll c/w leaves and chutney was okay. My wife didn't like the tea she was served and her teacake was more like a wholemeal bun, hardly any fruit. Comfortable surroundings and a bit pricey.”

“We called in ar BOD Stafford for breakfast ,the coffee was very nice although we waited quite a while for it ,we had a smaller BOD which was disappointing as everything on the plate was cold”
- Stafford Wolf
“Always a lively atmosphere without being too noisy. A relaxing yet vibrant environment where you can get food and cakes during the day or chill during the evening. A wide range of drinks both alcoholic and alcohol free. Outside seating for when the weather is fine.”
