Castlewood Cafe

About Castlewood Cafe

A roadside stop just outside Stafford that's easy to miss and worth pulling in for — the parking is free and right there, though the car park is gravelly, so expect a bumpy few metres with the pram before you're inside. It's a small place with a proper cafe feel, plus outdoor tables when the weather plays along and you'd rather let the kids spread out. Service comes fast, which matters when someone's hungry and winding up, and the staff are warm even when it's just one person running the room. The home-baked scones get the most love, the full English is reliable, and sandwiches are made properly and generously. Prices are gentle. Worth knowing: Tuesday is bikers' night and it's a popular cycling stop, so it can get busy and loud at weekends.
