The Apothecary Restaurant - Stafford

Lovely food. Just a couple of pointers. We had the scallops which were perfectly cooked but it was a shame to waste the sauce a little bit of bread to mop up would have been great. Had the hanging kebab which was lovely however a little hard to eat a side plate would have been handy. Other than that fantastic. Oh a mint with the bill would be good.

Excellent, pleasant and attentive service and welcome. Food very good, menu imaginative. Not many people there so not a lot of atmosphere but room and ambience were great. Only one criticism of food the fish pie was served only with peas and could be improved by addition of more vegetables and a few chips.

Very nice restaurant with good food service,varied menu good selection of drinks

We went for afternoon tea on Christmas Eve and were very disappointed. The meal consisted of processed ham, processed cheese slices, puree, and egg mayonnaise. We were only offered a selection of frozen cakes, and had to ask for tea, which was not offered. The tea selection was also lacking. The atmosphere was not pleasant, with open crackers on the window bar and a pipe with a large hole in the curtain from previous guests. The carpet under our table was covered in debris from a previous party. We paid £15 per person for a meal that we could have bought for £3 from a supermarket. We have been meeting this family for seven years but will not be returning after this experience. The staff was unfriendly and the excuses from management were unacceptable. I will be reaching out personally via email to express my dissatisfaction. This was a major disappointment and we will not be recommending this restaurant.

Great value for the Christmas meal. The soup was lacking flavor, but overall a very enjoyable meal for the price.
