The Duke of York — Restaurant in Stafford

Okay since my last review the place has changed hands Ant has left and his steaks were the best cannot comment on new owners yet. Not tried the food yet went in other day thou for a beer only had the 1 and it was flat quite dissapointing so went elsewhere in the village for a pint. Going to give it a 2* but will revisit and try the food see if get that mark up higher. Okay went for a meal 1 week ago end of November considering someone posted week before gave 5* got there bearing in mind advertised food too be told food will be on soon we took it seeing we arrived at 5.30pm it would be say 6pm no problems hmm no we were informed we dont have a chef/cook will be a couple of weeks until someone sorted what a joke and unsblr give a zero rating so went elsewhere in Barlaston had a cracking meal and decent drink. Thought have look see if restarted doing food only problem is on tripadvisor it shows the old menu so well out of date seems like they dont do it anymore seems they have visiting food vendors in vans instead so may...

First visit to this pub last Sunday for a family meal. We had 20 in our group including young children. The pub was very cosy and although we were a large group we were all able to sit together. Staff were all very friendly and excellent with the children. Drinks were served to our table. The food was absolutely amazing the kids meals Caleb put with the starters which was really good and without even requesting this. The main meals were amazing all home cooked food and all meals were out together so we could all eat together which was surprising considering we were a large group. Portions were excellent sizing and we were able to choose from a large range of accompaniments including homemade chips, homemade sweet potato chips, hash browns and a lovely side salad. The staff could not do enough for us and the chef was also very friendly. We will 100% be returning. The pub has a car park, toilets and a small outside seating area. Would highly recommend. Menus are also available on the duke of York Facebook page...

We booked a table for 3 at 12.15 but really it was quite quiet and we probably will just call in next time. It was very open and pleasant where we sat and the staff friendly and attentive. With it being lunch time there were two menus available. My wife opted for the 4oz steak on the lunchtime menu, I chose the same off the main menu and our grandson the New Yorker sandwich. All the meals were served up quite quickly and cooked perfectly. I must admit there was ample food on my wife's lunchtime menu steak and I would opt for that next time and probably put the extra cost onto a starter or dessert. Both the the starter and dessert menus had enough to tempt the taste buds as well. We'll definitely be going back again. Properly cooked very tasty food, great service and when went at lunch time parking at the rear was fine and you stepped straight into the dining area. Definitely a must go to...
