The Royal Oak Wolverhampton Road, Stafford ST17 9DH

"By a long shot the worst customer service ive ever had. Simply to busy dealing with serving locals beers to be bothered to deal with customers who want food. We stood at the bar to order food for over 20min. In the end we just give up and walk out. We sat in the van outside and rang up to speak to a manager who told us they only had two staff working. Absolutely ridiculous for such a big pub. Shame as the actual pub looked quite nice inside. And the food we did see come out looked OK for a budget pud. Menu seemed very budget friendly. Just shame its such a nightmare to access any food at this pub. Plenty of parking. Disabled bays are some distance from main entrance. Pub is on one level We won't visit this one again anytime soon. As I say this is more a pub for drinkers than actual eating"

"Good, main road position. Good car park. Generally clean and tidy inside. Service lacked any warmth except for one male member of staff who cleared our table and was pleasant. The food was OK but could have been much better : I know it's only pub grub but I expected better. The quality did NOT reach complaint level, just disappointing. It was a cold night and we were cool whilst we dined."

"EDIT:very disappointed Not happy with bar staff that seemed more like they didn't want to take my order, kitchen and waiting staff made up for it friendly and nice/happy to talk to me. starter was nice but the corn was diffecult to eat. Steak not cooked how I wanted (asked for blue), why ask if you cook all the same, so much gristle couldn't eat. Onion ring not real onion (shredded onion more like thing/rings) Banoffee pie toffee sauce cold when said warm not happy at all. Don't order. Missing items (onion ring) and can't order the coca on meal deals without paying 2.59 even tho there pic is with the coca. no interest when I ring and say it's just eat I need to talk to even though the food comes from through them."

"I travelled from the West Midlands so it was a long drive and my tummy needed food. After looking at the menu I settled on a chicken platter to dine in which went down nicely with a chilled bottle of cider. Yes I would recommend it to fellow travelers."

"Honestly not the best at all, I didn’t expect much more than quick pub grub but wow, they are the slowest kitchen staff ever. It wasn’t even that full and it took over an hour for them to make a basic meal! I really hope they are not payed by the meal because this place will be going bump very soon. Only two positives to pull, the bar staff was incredibly friendly and the price point is cheap as expected."
