Quick info
About The Joiners Arms
On Marston Rd on the back streets in the north of Stafford, The Joiners Arms is a traditional local pub run by a landlord and landlady. The landlady cooks the food served here, so meals come from the same people who run the bar. The pub keeps dominoes, darts, pool and crib for anyone who wants a game alongside a drink. The bar pours a selection of beers, and a separate gin selection sits beside it.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcome at this back-street local, where the landlord and landlady are called great and the regulars are described as friendly, good people. Beer comes next, with several praising well kept pints and a good choice, while others add a good gin selection and a great range of drinks. The bar staff are called excellent. Described as a proper, old fashioned boozer, it offers dominoes, darts and pool, and one reviewer who plays crib for another pub team praises the landlady's food. The beer garden is called marvelous in summer, full of flowers and hanging baskets, and one reviewer calls the pub a nice, safe environment. The detail that recurs in the warmest accounts is how quickly it feels familiar, with one regular saying that after just two visits everybody knows your name.
