Black Lake Inn - Stafford

Decided to go to the Black Lake again and once again you cannot fault the food, absolutely superb and all the girl staff were extremely pleasant,if you decide to try here for food then make sure that you have a very good appetite or you go on an empty stomach,the portions are enormous.

Just Okay! The Sunday lunch was nice but vegetables were undercooked and the gravy was just the instant type, which was disappointing in a Sunday roast. The mushroom stroganoff was bland, tasteless and boring. The Cajun chicken was tasty but chips were again bland and undercooked. The visit was just okay, we would not rush back. However, the staff were nice but the tables felt sticky and need of a proper clean. The toilets were clean.

AMAZING My husband and I travelled from London to visit family and stopped for lunch at this pub. Wow, so glad we did. We both agreed it was the best pub meal we’ve had in a long time. For starters, we had the prawns with chilli sauce, Hubby had scampi and chips, I had the cottage pie and for dessert sticky toffee pudding. It was all wonderful, lovely and hot and extremely tasty. 10/10. The staff were friendly and very happy, nothing was too much trouble. Please don’t hesitate and book a table. You won’t regret it.

Met with family and friends at this pub. I have to write that the staff were extremely attentive and polite. The lunch was very enjoyable and the whole bill felt reasonable based on the quality of food and service provided. The location itself is clean and the pub has a great atmosphere with a good mix of age groups. The beer is superb and the choice of wine suits all palette’s. Based on my experience I would happily recommend the pub to friends, family and colleagues as overall we had a great afternoon.

If you want to dine in style, but still have the warm comfort food this is your place to go to. They serve a wide variety of traditional meals at very very decent prices. The portions are absolutely huge as well, this considering what you’re paying for at the current times in different places. The staff is well trained and friendly and makes your experience better to be waited on from start to finish. The place is clean and well looked after for a traditional old pub, but in a modern style. They offer plenty of drinks choices too, and they have the bar area separated than the restaurant, so you can enjoy a nice quiet meal. We visited for dinner as well as for the lunch offer, which is even more amazing, you can’t beat a 3 course meal at £15.50, so a main meal comes at the same price as a McDonald meal, but fully cooked in the kitchen, and also served to you, what more to want in this life, plus it’s healthy, home style food. I always think that is a feeling of a mother’s kitchen where everything is taken care off for you, and everything is fresh. It is definitely a favourite place for us and our family and friends. Beef lasagne, and the gammon are the best dishes for us and the pies.
