The Wayfarer - Stafford

My group of 12 coworkers went to the restaurant, which was nearly empty. Despite requesting a table in the main dining area, we were seated in a separate room. There was no table service for drinks or wine menus. I ordered the vegan burgers, which were overcooked and dry, and the zucchini starter was very oily. Overall, the food was either average or poor, with some dishes being too sweet or dry. The sauces we requested never arrived, and I had to leave my meal to inquire about the bar. None of the staff checked in on us during our meal. We had a pleasant evening but were disappointed by the lackluster service and food quality. Perhaps they had a busy lunch rush, but that was not our experience.

The venue is a wow factor but I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the food and service, the majority of our party had an upset stomach either the same night or next day.

Food was very delicious, however service was less than satisfactory, we were at the restaurant for at least an hour before we even got our starters

The dining experience was enjoyable with decent portions of deliciously cooked meat and a great variety of vegetables served with our Sunday roasts. The coffee and teas were excellent. The young ladies serving us were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was clean, bright, and inviting. However, there were a few challenges we faced. As a deaf customer, I rely on internet transcription services, and although they offered free WiFi, it was difficult to access and required registration and sign-up for marketing purposes. Additionally, when we asked for the bill, we were presented with a mobile device that prompted us to leave a review before payment, which was not clearly communicated. While the food was excellent, these issues detracted from the overall experience.

I visited this restaurant on 27/04 for lunch and had an excellent experience. Our waitress, Kaci, was fantastic - polite, professional, and provided very personalized service. We ordered the tempura salad, filet steak, and chicken shawarma, all of which were really delicious. The wine selection was also excellent. My only feedback would be to use 250ml wine glasses. I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant.
