Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Stafford

An elegantly decorated restaurant with a nice ambience, amazing staff and lovely food. Whilst the prices of the dishes may seem slightly pricey, the portion sizes are very generous and the food is delicious so in my opinion, absolutely worth the money. We were a family of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meals, including 2 children who had the adult/main dishes instead of the kids dishes (with leftovers as a takeaway!). The staff were really friendly and attentive, they even repeated the dry ice vapour for us when serving our meals as the children missed it as they had gone to the toilets. Couldn’t fault a thing and would absolutely recommend going here for a special occasion.

What a superb restaurant! We have lived locally for four years and never tried this restaurant as you need to book well in advance and we’ve never been organised enough to do so… We had a variety of pasta, pizza and a sharing T bone steak platter between us and the food was delicious. The steak and pizza were obviously cooked in a wood fired oven as they had a lovely smoked flavour and the pasta was excellent too. Service was attentive, efficient and friendly, I’ll definitely be back again.

Visited this place with my wife, we were quickly seated and greeted with a warm welcome. They honored my request for a booth seating. The food was good, we had steak and salmon, the service was efficient without being overbearing or rushed. My wife enjoyed it and we will definitely return

First visit & won’t be my last. First time my son has come with us to a decent restaurant, 11 years old he had mussels, sirloin and a chocolate fondant. Loved everything he ate. Comte gougere- phenomenal!! Snacks through to dessert all cooked & presented well, can tell they use quality ingredients and have a kitchen team that can cook. Servers all polite and friendly. As a chef it’s hard to go out to eat and enjoy it however the Duncombe arms delivered great food, friendly unintrusive service at good value (£75 each snacks, 3 courses with service charge and tip too)

Amazing food best meal out in a long time. Warm welcoming when step inside. Good service. Well priced. Will definitely be going back.
