The Green Man — Restaurant in Stafford

I visited the pub today, there was nobody else at the bar and I stood there for some time and was totally ignored, the barmaid didn't make any eye contact and in fact turned her back on me and talked to the landlord for some time. Eventually the landlord approached me and grudgingly said "yes?". I politely asked if they did Sunday lunch and he said yes, I said could I have a menu please, he grudgingly handed over the menu that seemed to be the weekday lunch menu. When I asked if they did roast dinners, he said yes in an irritated manner and pointed at a distant blackboard which he hadn't referred me to initially. At this point I got a very strong sense that I wasn't welcome, possibly because I wasn't local so I left. The ambience was non-existent. I can't comment on the quality of the food but the quality of the service was APPALLING, I could never treat anyone like that, the landlord is certainly in the wrong trade and I certainly WON'T...

Visited The Green Man early evening on Thursday 31st October 2019 after attending a meeting in Stone and seeing the entry for The Green Man in the Good Beer Guide. The Green Man has a reasonably sized car park on its right hand side with easy access to the entrance at the rear right hand side.

The Green Man is an unfussy rural public house with a large room running across the front of the building. A small dining area is located at the far left butnthis was in darkness with diners using the tables in the bar area. There are a number of real ales on offer with several guest ales.

I had sausages and mash which arrived as a huge plated dish. My wife had a nice steak and chips meal. We were very impressed with the quality at a very...

This popular pub has a very attractive beer garden and good service. Obviously we had to sit outside to eat today. And it really poured but gazebos were provided. The food was delivered in polystyrene containers. It was hot and tasty and my daughter's vegetarian goat's cheese in filo pastry was huge. Two of us had the pub's cheeseburgers with lots of chips and one had the steak pie with lashings of gravy with chips. All good. My husband loved his first two pints in an English countryside pub this year. He is a real ale fan and said both beers were spot on! Perfectly maintained and delivered to our table. Well done The Green Man, we met up as a family for the first time in 16 months today. And you helped us to enjoy this...
