English Restaurant · Stafford
There's a reception area that people notice the moment they walk in — spotless, well laid out, with a homely dining room rather than a cramped one, which makes it easier with a pram (buggy access and free parking are both sorted, and there's outdoor seating when the weather plays along). The Sunday roast is what families come back for: generous slices of pink beef, homemade Yorkshires, roasties seasoned with pepper and rosemary. The belly pork, beef stroganoff and risotto all get warm words too, and the vegetables are properly seasoned rather than an afterthought. Owners run kitchen and front of house between them, so dietary tweaks are handled easily, and staff aren't rushed with you. High chairs and a kids' menu are available. It isn't cheap for a roast, and the meat can occasionally miss the mark.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
