The Four Seasons, which was the first restaurant in Staffordshire to attain 3 rosettes in 2015, champions first class produce from specialist suppliers backed by sustainable and humane farming methods. Great use is made of the abundance of vegetables, fruits and herbs grown in our own Victorian walled garden and estate-reared venison and rare-breed lamb features on the menu from time to time.

Tasting and Vegetarian Tasting menus are offered alongside a Prix Fixe a la carte selection Tuesday to Saturday, whilst on Sundays there is a traditional Sunday lunch menu. A "4 for £40" tasting menu is available Wednesday and Thursday evenings as well as Friday and Saturday lunchtimes. To celebrate our re-opening post lockdown, restaurant diners can enjoy 50% off our flexible bedroom rate every Friday night up until the end of November.

                      Opentable , completely ruined mother's day for mother and the four of us, we booked the only available slot 12pm, confirmed via opentable, we would definitely be attending when prompted the day before, on the day, we arrived at the venue , which had skips , concrete mixers and building materials out side the front of the building, when the door was answered , a builder said that the venue was no longer a restaurant, this left us with nowhere to go for us to go, opentable obviously not in contact with its supplier customers, no customer number on the platform obviously to avoid complaints, maybe in future I should just call directly the venue and not spoil the event

                      Absolutely wonderful. We had our wedding reception here 9 years ago and when we were gifted a voucher as a Christmas present we decided to use it for afternoon tea close to our anniversary. It was perfect and brought back some amazing memories. Beautiful location and building. The staff are fantastic and the food is delicious. Great experience.

                      Definitely a great place for afternoon tea. Superb food served by professional friendly staff in a 1750's country house with plenty of gardens and grounds to explore after!

                      Awesome food. I haven't had food that good in a very long time. I felt like a food critic on Masterchef it was that good. Staff were lovely as well. So all in all I couldn't fault anything with my visit
