About

The Shire Horse in Stafford is a superb location to combine a relaxing pub lunch with a day out in the glorious Staffordshire countryside

Story

Perched on the A34 just 1 mile off the M6 at Junction 14, The Shire Horse in Stafford is a superb location to combine a relaxing pub lunch with a day out in the glorious Staffordshire countryside, or a pleasant visit to historic Stafford or the spectacular Shugborough Estate, former home of the Earls of Lichfield.

Purpose-built in 2002 but with all the open fires, secluded dining areas and delicious pub food favourites of a Staffordshire country pub restaurant, The Shire Horse offers a warm welcome to guests who can enjoy al fresco dining on the patio and attractive gardens in summer or relax by a cosy fire in winter.

The lovely county town of Stafford boasts the largest timber-framed town house in England, the magnificent Elizabethan Ancient High House, and the Stafford Castle and Visitor Centre. Just 6 miles north of The Shire Horse on the banks of the River Trent sits the ancient market town of Stone, once the capital of Anglo-Saxon Mercia and popular with visitors to Staffordshire. Just a short hop south of The Shire Horse is the stunning landscape of Cannock Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty rich in wildlife and popular with ramblers and cyclists.

For visitors to Staffordshire exploring its glorious countryside or its historic towns and villages, The Shire Horse is the perfect location to enjoy traditional pub food, seasonal specials and relaxing Sunday lunches with a great selection of fine wines and cask ales.

Reviews
Nice chef and brewer pub has really nice traditional theme with the decor, very cosy and good atmosphere, I had the belly pork which was lovely people with me had the traditional burger which should have come with onion rings, the waitress failed to mention they had ran out of onion rings and there wasn't an offer of any alternative, however when pressed on an alternative some garlic bread slices were brought, we all had the salted caramel sundae which was nice but have had better in other chef and brewer establishments, service took a long time to bring our food and drinks though, with a couple of another table waiting for an hour and a half for there food, needless to say they were less than impressed, all in all not a bad experience but could have been better
Great food backed up by fantastic service! Dropped in mid week for evening meal staying in hotel next door. Gourmet burger highly recommended! All explains why place was rammed & buzzing!
Our first experience here today and it was absolutely wonderful! Came in on a whim, was seated by a gentleman who took no time to see to us! The food was FAB, so so nice! We had kerry as our server, honestly she was an absolute joy to be around and attended to our every needshe says her first shift but seemed like her 100th! Will definitely be coming again
I came in with my cousin because the steak here is just so good. It’s stunning and we sat outside under the pergola. The food came quick and looked amazing. My chips were not cooked properly and were solid which was a shame and I did return them but I knew I wasn’t going to eat them anyway as my plate was returned with my steak and salad whilst I waited for fresh chips and I can’t eat in that kind of way lol. Regardless the staff were apologetic and asked if I wanted to complain but I said no as the food has never been bad from here before and the steak was still amazing and the salad hence still giving 5 stars. Drinks are lush too love the range of gin available. 100% recommend
We stopped in while driving from Sussex to Glasgow at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon. This was our first time here - we have tried in the past to no avail as this place is usually very booked up! Ray sat us in the bar as they had a few large bookings on the way in. This was definitely perfect - we only needed an hour max as want to get on the road again. We ordered the chicken burger and two steak sandwiches. Our meal was delicious. Personally I’d highly recommend that steak sandwich! Just a quick and gorgeous meal, but a perfect little stop gap to fill some empty tummies.nReally appreciated the squeeze in, considering how busy they were scheduled to be!
