Anytime Lounge — Restaurant in East Staffordshire

The staff smile and make you feel welcome, the food is amazing and well priced, drinks are fab and don't cost a fortune, great staff, great vibe - you can literally have what you like...anytime.....and it is not a problem!! We will be back - loved the whole experience. I have written what might look like War and Peace but I believe that good places deserve good reviews so here you go:-

I visited this bar/restaurant yesterday (Sunday) on the off chance of getting some good food and a nice glass of wine. From the outside the building is appealing with outside seating and colourful hanging baskets. Also the decorative windows lure you in ...... Myself and my friends were greeted and made to feel welcome and we took our seats in the bar area where we had a fabulous bottle of wine and looked through the menu. I have to say the choice is amazing - you really can have exactly what you want. So whilst my friend tucked into scrambled eggs on toast (she was struggling with toothache so needed something soft to eat), my other friends waded into burgers. These burgers are not your normal 'run of the mill' burger - they are fresh, meaty, juicy and delightful. I was asked if I wanted salad or fries and being hungry and cheeky I asked if I may have both. I was told that this was 'no problem at all', with a smile and informed that I had chosen well! - which was great though I would have been more than happy to pay for an additional side. I need to talk about the bun - this is somebody that normally does not eat the bun as my jeans don't normally allow (!), but the 'pretzel' bun was absolutely fabulous - so fresh and I have to say I did not want this meal to end. However all good things do need to come to an end and that was me done - though I did manage to polish off the rose which I have already mentioned was delightful. My friends carried on to the puddings, my friend with toothache saw that there was jelly and ice cream on the children's menu and we expected some resistance to this request - but we were again given 'no problem' as a welcome response. The chocolate sundae kept my other friend quiet for a while and he was loving the fact that the chocolate brownie inside was warm and melty...and his words 'delicious'. So to conclude:- This is a great place with a funky vibe, great music, smiley staff, amazing food and this will not break your bank nor will you have to re-mortgage your house. A great place to take the family or just to meet friends and enjoy a nice glass of wine, coffee, cocktail or whatever takes your fancy without facing a huge bill. A lot of thought has gone into the customers needs - even the ladies toilet has everything that you may need down to hair bobbles and body spray!!!

So thank you to all at Anytime (not forgetting the chef who has converted me to now loving onion rings :) for putting a bit of sunshine into a grim, Sunday afternoon. We...

Five of us visited today, on a rainy Tuesday evening. There was a great atmosphere with plenty of people inside, but not crowded at all as there is plenty of space. We had the Hunters chicken, Steak frites, Salmon pasta, Pan fried salmon and kids sausage and chips. All food was super tasty and not a single complaint from us.

Service was brilliant, we had Morgan, who was attentive to our table making sure we were happy with everything we had, and anything we needed, and was always happy to help. Top customer service from Morgan.

Edit -

We did visit a second time this week for breakfast, to which sadly was very disappointing, hence the edited review. The breakfast was very poor quality, I had poached eggs on toast, wife had avocado on toast. Poached eggs were hard, and avocado was a very small portion. Simple thing but the toast wasn't buttered all the way around and it was unsalted butter. It's just expected that it's slightly salted for some flavour at least. Overall breakfast was very disappointing. So I am very torn. Four stars overall, because I can't FAULT the kind customer service we had on...

I had high hopes for this place but that was quick shot down after my second visit. To start off, the bar staff didn’t seam to have the slightest idea what was on the menu and got it wrong twice.. After I finally managed to get an order in, I was seated at a dirty table, which I had to ask 3 times to be cleaned. When our drink FINALLY arrived one of them was wrong, and then we had to wait another 10 minuets for that to arrive. When the meal came what felt like 3 days later half of the order was stone cold, and we had Noone come and ask if the order was okay, we had to go up to the bar to get this rectified. To top the whole visit off, the “owner” just wonders round trying to look the part, when in all honesty she clear has no idea what she’s doing.

All in all, I would strongly recommend anyone not to come here. You would get way better service at the Wetherspoons...
