The Market Vaults - Stafford

The barman who was working at the time, was rude and self centred, I have not been back since and will not until the staff change and most of the rude customers have gone.

Cracking little pub in the centre of Stafford. Friendly staff and owners. Lots of drinks choice and the food was delicious looking forward too visiting again soon

Will never visit again. (although we didn't visit long last time), and i don't like to leave bad reviews but... We had booked a table for 7 people at 7pm on Saturday the 28th of January. On arrival we proceeded to order drinks and asked for food menus which we were informed were on the bar. After a total of 5 minutes deliberation we attempted to order food at 7.10pm but as the lady behind the bar got her pen out, another staff member said no they've decided to close the kitchen early. (apparently at 7pm, the same time they were happy to take our booking for). Also why point out the menus if you don't intend to serve food? Or make people aware on arrival ? We then had to finish our drinks (we had only just ordered) and move on to another venue to attempt to find food on a Saturday night, which is a shame as we would have stayed for multiple drinks and a meal for 7. I would not be happy if I was the owner. Perhaps this place does the best burger in stafford, but sadly you will have to go when it apparently suits the kitchen team.

Service was very good. I am still not sure if my burger was cooked. I am happy to have a burger pink in the middle but the burger was pink/ red all the way through. The barman said it was supposed to be like that and the meat was cured? I would have felt better if there was a warning about this on the menu to give reassurance. Taste was great for everything else but I couldn’t eat the patty

Visited last Thursday as the stafford walking street monthly event was on. Nice friendly staff and fab atmosphere thanks again
