  “Food was excellent, fresh and a good range of options. Only criticism would be that staff did not seem to understand that we had each paid £5 deposit per person to book the table and were not clear on how they deducted this from our final bill. This was resolved quickly by a more experienced member of staff, but did cause delays when ordering and paying which could have been avoided with better staff training.”

  “Lovely dinner spot. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. The servers were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Drinks came out very fast and the food was ready in 10 minutes. Our meals were great and good value for money. Would definitely come again!”

  “A busy lounge and first time in a while that we had to wait to be seated. However once seated service was good and staff were friendly and smiley. Bruno was treated to a free sausage so was very happy. There were also plenty of dog biscuits available. We had Sausage amd Egg on sourdough. Very nice. A good stop on our way up North.”

  “So this review has been a few months in the making, but one I can’t now ignore. Myself and my partner have been loyal customers to versa lounge for the past two years at least, coming every Sunday. We have the same food every time we come. I completely appreciate you will know who this is. For 1 year and 10 months, the food, the staff and the atmosphere has been unbeatable, Granted they’re isn’t a large amount of choice in Stafford. Last month, we had an issue with the vegan burger with the patty being ‘boiled’ poorly, with a stale bun to match. My large breakfast was semi edible. Spoke with a manager for a heads up that it wasn’t great, being regular customers it was very polite and didn’t expect anything, but the manager went above and beyond snd refunded us for both full meals. It was greatly appreciated and an important point to make, your staff are fantastic. All of them. Where as it wasn’t our intention for a full refund, we thought they would take note of our comments but how wrong we were. Left an hour ago after our usual meal (same thing every time) and both once again were completely inedible. The worst yet. Every single thing on the plate was cold. Paid for extra bacon which was inedible as it had been burnt to a literal crisp. Same for the halloumi, and also the side of toast. This time I didn’t bother raising it with a member of staff, we didn’t expect a refund the first time round and honestly wished you’d kept the money, but at least listened to what we had to say in regards to the quality of the food you’re serving. We were at Argento lounge in Preston just yesterday, same meals again and the food was absolutely phenomenal so know that it’s just now unfortunately this one site. You’ve lost two customers as we won’t be returning until standards have improved at the very least. At £22 a breakfast (with extras) and a £52 bill for everything, bang in the middle for price realistically this day and age but I expect at the very least that it’s edible. It is important to mention again that your staff are brilliant however. This isn’t a complaint, but a little hope that you’ll now listen to feedback.”

  “Me and my boyfriend popped in today, and we were served by the lovely Belinda! I just wanted to say that she made the whole experience absolutely incredible! She was so so lovely and despite it being so busy and what seemed like a long day due to everyone, including us, wanting to come enjoy the sun, she didn’t let that stop her from being incredibly friendly and so happy and kind! We already love Verso Lounge, but she made it even nicer! Thank you for the incredible service, and I really hope this gets passed onto her! <3”

  “I love this place. Warm and friendly service & ambience Good food with an additional vegan menu. Rustic style interior with old paintings covering the walls and lampshades on lights that make for calm lighting. There is a mix of music at a reasonable volume. Glass windows fill half the interior, so lots of lovely natural light. There is plenty of outside seating, although we've not used this yet. A variety of styles of seating inside with wooden tables. You don't need to make a reservation that hasn't yet caused a problem. They do fab coffee, cocktails & mocktails and a free to use water dispenser with stacked glasses It's in a accessible location right by the library, shopping centre & car park, with wheelchair access (front door & dining is at ground level) Edit. Child friendly Lots of highchairs Menus have colouring pictures & crayons provided Nappy change has been thoughtfully done”

  “We visited Verso Lounge on Saturday night for food and drinks and had a generally very positive experience. 👍 The Good • Atmosphere & Seating: The front-of-house service was great, and we were seated quickly despite it being busy. The atmosphere was lively, welcoming, and a major highlight of the evening. • Tapas: We ordered a few tapas dishes, and most of them were absolutely amazing. The food was served reasonably fast and was very enjoyable. • Overall: It was a nice evening, and the quality of the food (for the most part) means we will certainly be returning. 🧐 Areas for Improvement • Garlic Flatbread Pricing: While the food was great, the garlic flatbread felt overpriced as it was listed at the same price point as the meat tapas dishes. It was also noted that it could have done with a stronger garlic flavour. • Waiter Oversight: A notable service issue occurred when our cocktails were brought over. The waiter removed our previous drinks without asking if we had finished them, which we had not. • Kitchen Conduct: We were a bit shocked when a chef carried two large bags of rubbish straight through the dining area from the kitchen, brushing past my partner on the way. This kind of task should ideally be managed via a separate service route to avoid disturbing diners. 📝 Summary Verso Lounge offers a great social dining experience with an excellent atmosphere and high-quality food. Addressing the minor service slip-ups and the curious rubbish route would make it perfect. Recommended for a fun night out!”

  “Held my sisters baby shower here on 5th october for 14 people and the team were so amazing as they made it so easy. The lady taking the booking helped massively and even when I rang back and spoke to another member of the team a few days later they were so helpful. Made it so easy to order the pre order of tapas we chose for everyone to share, double checked on the morning about allergiss and how we would like things presented. When we got there, despite not doing this type of party before, they had set out a little area for us to have the tapas in larger bowls so everyone could help themselves. They were so helpful during the day by getting extra tables/napkins or anything else we needed. They were amazing. Drinks were done quickly and good value as delicious. The food was amazing! Thank you all so much for your help in making my sisters baby shower so memorable.”

  “Lengthy wait at the bar with two busy preparing drinks, whilst two other members of staff were chatting and waiting at the food serving hatch for customer meals. After a few minutes one decided to pop behind the bar and serve me. Not sure why it took that long? I ordered the soup of the day which was very good. A bit mean with the sourdough toast, though. Asked for tabasco sauce, and not available here ( most Lounges have it). Very busy inside, and the Asian female greeting customers was very friendly with a genuine smile.”
