The Bistro Quarter's restaurant & bar is part of the Beauty & the Bistro family, in Staffordshire.

You can pop in for a quick drink, a bite to eat or a full on feast & you don't need to book.

It strikes the perfect balance between exceptional dining & affordability. The interior-designed surroundings are modern, yet elegant, with an emphasis on a relaxed & friendly vibe. The menu & cocktail bar are designed to satisfy most tastes & combine classic British menus with a bistro-style serving.

The Executive Chef, Mark Walker, is proud of his two rosettes & takes pride in everything he does.

The Bistro is open from 6pm Wednesday & Thursday & from 8am for breakfast, lunch & dinner on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays or you can just pop in for a coffee & a pastry or a cheeky cocktail.

Bottomless brunch is on Saturdays between 12pm - 4pm offering a wide selection of cocktails.

Sunday roasts are proving extremely popular - the braised ox cheek stuffed Yorkshire puddings are to die for!

    Absolutely stunning place. Food was lovely, it was very quiet but actually really nice as we were having breakfast. Booked straight back in for valentine’s evening.

    Lovely decor but it was far too bright for nighttime dining felt more like a cafe than a bistro feel not cosy. I had braised steak which was nice but needed a little more jus. Staff were lovely. Only just opened so would try again.

    Good incredible Drinks spot on. Service a little slow but only on the food wait in between where a member of staff could have asked us if we wanted another drink, we asked. This is minor though. But the coldness of the room we ate and left due to all dithering. That’s an issue. The place is gorgeous! Everything else is incredible. I had the steak and MY GOD I will wrap in winter clothes to go eat it again!! Xx
