  “On my canal boat I popped in for just a beer on a busy bank holiday. What an atmosphere! I was made as welcome as if I was a long standing regular and as if I was spending lots of money. Staff were chatting to locals as they walked round serving food and drinks at tables. Truly one of the most friendly and welcoming pub I've ever had the pleasure to visit. The food is reputed to be excellent and judging by the number eating mid afternoon this must be true. I'm not one given to superlatives but this pub is truly a must!”

  “The venue was great as was the service. The main issue for my low score was the very limited menu. Our first choice of Red Snapper had sold out , then our second choice of Barnsley chop , they only had one of. It would seem that they operate with a low stock of ingredients. We were booked for 7.45 and expected availability of at least one of our choices. It was a special occasion so it put a bit of a damper on our night. I wouldn't advise anyone to book at 7.45 as they finish serving at 8.30 on a Wednesday. Get in early if you want a special meal. For the price paid of 70 pounds for one course for two with wine I would have expected better choices. The fish pie substitute was nice and the "last" chop was enjoyed by my husband. When I got home I was very ill. Not sure if the meal caused the upset stomach. But it was the last thing I ate.”

  “I've been staying at the dog for 2 years whenever I'm in Stafford and I have to say, the staff are the loveliest people I have encountered at hotels they always make me feel so welcome and they're always so lovely and helpful. I am now moving to Australia and can say with pure sincerity that I will never stay at a more welcoming and wonderful place. Im certain that Gordon Ramsey works in the kitchen because the food is incredible everytime. if you're in the area please stop in. I know that Bethany and Frankie will take great care of you and I will be sending them my best wishes from the other side of the world. Long live the Dog and Doublet, my favourite place in Britain.”

  “We only stopped in for a quick snack. The sandwich was excellent, likewise the beer. The garden tables are beginning to show their age, but all in all a very nice place to break the journey.”

  “We called for lunch and had chicken tenders with pickled jalapeños and szichuan sauce and the salmon crumpet to start. Both were delicious and delivered promptly. Mains were pan fried red Snapper with new potatoes, samphire and capers and the steak & onion pie with rosemary roasted carrots & kale with chips. Desert was the Bakewell tart and lemon drizzle cake. Everything was perfect with this meal and we will definitely return. We did not stay here SS it’s only 12 miles from home.”

  “I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the staff at The Dog & Doublet during my stay on the 12th of May. I was in the middle of waking 5 marathons in 5 days for charity and arrived just before the kitchen was closing. The young lady who greeted me was so lovely and let me know that the kitchen was closing soon. I said that I could go up to my room and get changed quickly, but instead she said I could order with her and they would bring the food up to my room. The fish and chips was excellent and the room was perfect. Thank you all 👌🙏🏼”

  “I have visited this pub many times in the past for lunch because the food is nice. I was greeted by a lady behind the bar who offered seating positions in the bar. I had to ask for a menu and chose fish and triple cooked chips with minted peas. This was a dish I had ordered before , so it should have been a safe bet. My meal arrived and the triple cooked chips were anything but triple cooked . Dark , limp and watery . Once cut they were mush. A legacy of using new potatoes I guess . I questioned the quality and I was immediately offered French fries instead . The fish and peas had been kept hot whilst the replacement sorted . I cut into the tail of the fish , which was crispy . At this point I was asked if everything was OK. I had literally just started the meal . Sadly , the thicker the fish got , the sloppier and under cooked the batter became . So this was discarded and I just ate the fish. I said nothing because Im not good at complaining, and really didn't want a second reset to the start of my lunch.!!! I settled the bill and offered some gentle non confrontational feedback. The reply .... But I did ask if everything was OK. This comment prompted the review. If you are a chef , at least have pride in what you serve . Even visually it was obvious that the chips were wrong . As for other dishes and other meals previously , the quality has been good. I just didn't feel good about the defensive comment .”

  “Been wanting to come here for quite a time. Came for the Sunday Lunch. It was, ok. Can't fault the portioning at all. However the attention to our order on the other hand, we asked for a half pork, half beef as it comes, and a roast beef no greens. Firstly brought 2 beef no greens, reminded of our order, which came back quick enough, still minus the greens with the half n half. As we'd ordered cauliflower cheese as well, when we mentioned the missing greens, turned them down as there was plenty to eat, but that not the point 😐 The yorkshire pud was the crown on my plate, very tasty and well cooked, the beef was, ok. Roast tatties and the carrots were very nice too. The gravy though flavourfull, seemed a bit packet like, I may well be wrong, but it just seemed that way, too much flour or cornflour maybe. The service from front of house was good. As a venue it is a nice oldy worldy building full of features. Sunday lunches as a whole can be hit or miss, anywhere, so I bear this in mind. The other food I saw coming out looked good too. On recieving our bill, we had been given a nice discount for the mistake, with not being asked, very nice of them. We'll have to return and try food from the evening menu to get a better taste for a more informed review.”

  “Stopped off here as a family for a bite to eat. Staff were friendly, nice menu. Limited vegetarian options unfortunately. The boys were very happy with their meals (especially the garlic flat bread). I enjoyed my ale pie. Unfortunately the lemonade had no flavour to it and we asked for replacements, but the replacements were the same no lemon taste. There were replacemented but only after my wife returned them to the bar herself. So a mixed bag, nice location, nice decor again staff were friendly but not attentive enough on this occasion.”
