The Bridge House - Salter St, Stafford

Big thanks to the lady who kindly helped a fisherman and van last Wednesday and the coffee was excellent:

You're definitely paying for the location with this one. The beer garden is large but not well maintained. The bridge house restaurant never seems to be open but they do serve food from a hatch in the wall. All food is served in take-away style boxes. I didn't order any food as £17.95 for a burger in a box is extortionate and I can't imagine it would be good quality. Ordered drinks from the Talbot Inn which seems to be owned by the Bridge House. The service wasn't particulary fast or friendly and all drinks were served in disposable plastic glasses. The bar man did't even ask whether we were sitting inside or outside. Toilets were smelly and disgusting with urine covering the floor. Visiting this pub feels like going to a festival. The only thing missing was the music!

Such a great place for an anniversary celebration. Lucy, the manager is amazing and her team are all friendly and helpful. Great food, lovely rooms, nothing was too much trouble. Safety: Need to be careful with small children here as the road and river by the hotel could be hazardous. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great value

I don’t think you can charge over £12 for a pizza that was bought in a store. It’s not acceptable, no matter how nice the view is, absolute rip off Service: 4 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great view

Food drinks: Excellent but highly priced Hotel highlights: Luxury
