8 reviews of Radford Bank Inn in English
Been here three times while on the canal and will be calling again next month. Has always been good value for money.
If you want Michelin standard – go and pay for it somewhere else!
Have been a few times (not out of choice) the meat has always been good as has the potatos/gravy/stuffing/yorkshires however the veg is always terrible, i dont know what they do to the carrots but its wrong.
Apart from that the staff dont really seem to be bothered, the other diners are either noisy,have no table manners or are a bit daft (i saw a woman stood up videoing her carvery for 2 mins with a camcorder once) the tables always seem to be either covered in food or sticky and the back of the restaurant is very dark as for some reason they have covered up the windows.
all in all the meats are good every thing else is a bit of a let down but for stafford and for the price is guess its average.
Heard on the grapevine that the carvery was good, waited in a queue for a good ten minutes, the carvery had run out of turkey, it was only just turned 8 oclock, veg was cooked ok, staff not too polite.
Hugo1 That was an exception, our group have been using it for over 5 years. We all give it 5 stars as excellent for quality, good service and value for money.

Enjoyed a fabulous Christmas Carvery here a couple of weeks ago. Meat was cooked very well, roast tatties were crisp - brilliant for a fiver and thats with pudding. Staff were polite and atmosphere was great. Well done
absolutely the most disgusting meal ive eaten out. the beef was inedible, the place was overcrowded. the staff were very ignorant and rude. The price has gone up to £6.99 cos you get a cheap ice cream included out of a whippy machine, not everybody wants this. very low qualtiy and embarrassed to take my relatives out to eat there.
MrsDSdee Overcrowded due to its popularity I believe and the staff on a Sunday are fantastic - I have
been several times and based on their excellent customer service - I would say that they
are outstanding.

Hugo1 We eat at the Radford Bank Inn for carvery lunch with friends nearly every week and have never been dissapointed. All the veg are steamed hence no loss of flavour and are always fresh, you help yourself to as much as you can eat. Beef, Turkey and Ham nicely cooked. The staff are very polite sociable and helpful. Amazing value during the week at £3.55, Sunday lunch is a bit more, £6+. If you don't want to buy a drink the staff will provide you with a glass of water with ice and lemon if you wish for free. Brillant quality, service and value. Very popular so get there early for lunch.

The Radford in Stafford is the best carvery that I have ever tried in my 50+ years of eating in Restaurants. Great value for money £3.55, went up 05p a short time ago.
Fantastic choice of freshely cooked vegatables, which you help yourself to.
Great choice of condiments.
Helpful friendly staff.
I just can't speah highly enough of this Carvery Restaurant. There are other great choices in the menu as well.
Long may it last, it's a brilliant example of good food and value for money. We have been going there now for more than 10 years and have not been dissapointed once.
Not enough stars availabe for this one, we give it the max.
I like my carvery. A lot. So I always have high hopes when I go to have one. And I have never been disappointed here, and I doubt I ever will be.
Just South-East of Stafford down the A34, next to the River Trent is the Radford Bank Inn. The building is split on two-levels, with the restaurant downstairs and the upstairs being a Lounge Bar. You have to enter downstairs in the car park area which can be confusing if you have never been there before.
As with most carveries, your choice is of Turkey, Gammon and Beef and with most carveries I have been to, I am never disappointed. Monday to Saturday a Carvery costs £3.50 and on Sunday it costs £6.50. There is plenty of non-carvery options available also for those who have weird senses of taste. :-)
Drinks are pretty cheap too with a pint of Carlsberg being £1.99, from what I can remember, and they do bottles of Woodpecker! Very refreshing!
One note of caution, it can get busy on Sundays due to its popularity, so a short wait may be in order. If that’s the case, the bar upstairs is a good place to relax.
6 Stars! Out of 5! Flawless display.
P.S. Some very friendly staff too, it must be said.
Fantastic carvery pub! I highly recommend a trip here if you are feeling hungry…
The carvery is around £3.50 during the week, and a bit more on a sunday, and it is fantastic. They serve turkey, gammon and beef, a range of veg including roast and new potatos, cauliflower cheese, carrots, peas, etc.
A tip is they only give you 1 yorkshire pub (the small ones), if you feel like more than 1 just ask and they’re happy to oblige - so make sure you do!
Plenty of places to sit, you can’t book here so at the busiest times you might have to wait in a queue for the carvery, but its rare that anything runs out as they regularly replace everything.
