The Wolseley Arms - Stafford

I visited this restaurant and found it to be a nice place. However, I was disappointed to see that there were no gluten-free options on the menu. My steak was overcooked and I wanted to send it back, but they had run out. The price per person is usually between £20-30. I would rate the food a 2, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4.

The Wolseley Arms is a charming pub with a cozy country feel. The decor is inviting, especially around Christmas time with the open fires. It reminded me of the pub from the movie "The Holiday." The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the prices are reasonable at £20-30 per person. The food is excellent, with recommended dishes including the Belgian Chocolate Brownie and the Hunters Chicken Schnitzel. Overall, I highly recommend The Wolseley Arms for a great dining experience.

My wife and I waited 35 mins before a drinks order was taken, which is no big deal but a little longer than we would have liked. We also ordered our food at the same time. My wife ordered a non-alcoholic cider and I ordered a non-alcoholic lager. After about ten minutes my wife made the comment, I feel drunk. Upon closer inspection of the bottle, we saw that we had the full alcoholic version of the cider. My wife does not drink and is currently breastfeeding which has health implications for her and our daughter but also, we do not drink for religious reasons. We did bring this to the attention of the waitress who apologied but did make mention that it is ultimatley up to us to check what we are consuming; I then asked if I could go into the kitchen to inspect the ingridients used in our food for our dietary requirements so I can check before consumption; this was met with understanding as soon as she realised that her initial comment was beyond the pail. she then did go on to make comments that she drank Guiness when she was pregnant and breastfeeding and her children are OK, which flies in the face of any NHS or WHO guidence. The food was quite nice when it arrived but my wife feels such a sense of guilt that she has to now bottle feed our baby and has broken a religious vow to not consume alcohol which has caused her further upset through the night in the form of an upset stomach. The root cause is that there are three separete times that this mishap could have been prevented by the staff. 1. Upon inital order. 2. Checking the initial order by the bar staff. 3. the waitress checking the final order before placing it on the table. The end user, who is paying to relax, should not have the burden of ensuring that jobs have been correctly done. Think of the danger of someone that had to drive after consuming the alcohol that they hadn 't asked for that did not recognise the signs of being drunk. If a minor had been given alcohol. If someone had been on medication that could affect them. This mishap, coupled with the waitress ' bizaare apology/health advice will mean that there would have to be a huge incentive for us to visit again. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2
