Next up the best football pub in the area – the Stapleton Tavern! The sign for a new menu increased expectations of the food.
The food – Standard pub menu with the usual mix of burgers, pies and sausage and mash. Jo had the sausage and mash and was unimpressed. Very bland. The saving grace were the halloumi fries. Which were delicious (when are they not!) The pie was strong on quantity and texture but weak on flavour.
The Service – ordered at the bar with friendly staff. They should have table numbers as it is difficult to describe what table you are on as tough to describe where you are sitting in an empty pub.
The atmosphere – chilled hipster vibe – very different from when the football is on. Group next to us playing board games!
Value for money – £40 for two drinks, two meals and a side was definitely good value when joined up with the great company!
We will stick to coming for the football and eat elsewhere. Except for maybe the halloumi fries
