British, Modern Restaurants in Staffordshire
1. The Duncombe Arms
British, Modern restaurant in Ellastone
Main Rd - DE6
“A real gem of a pub in an attractive countryside setting” on the fringes of the Peak District that was rescued in 2012 by owners Johnny & Laura Greenall. The interior is “warm and cosy but smart” and the food is “unashamedly local and hearty, cooked with skill, ingredient led, never overcomplicated” but “consistently reaches high standards”.
2. Little Seeds
British, Modern restaurant in Stone
16 - 18 Radford Street - ST15
Opposite a leafy churchyard in a small town south of Stoke-on-Trent, this unassuming “gem” is rated on ongoing upbeat feedback from a small, dedicated fan base, praising its “fantastically skillful food with a brilliant balance of flavours”. Sophie Hardman & Jake Lowndes are celebrating their tenth year of business in 2026 and offer imaginative cuisine from either à la carte or tasting menus, the latter is £90 per person.
3. Moat House
British, Modern restaurant in Stafford
Lower Penkridge Rd, Acton Trussell - ST17
2023 Review: A “smart hotel” with its own lake set in the Staffs countryside, where the “cosy restaurant serves good value food using local produce”. Tuesday night is grill night – on other evenings steaks and pub classics feature on the menu alongside somewhat fancier fare.
4. Lunar
British, Modern restaurant in Barlaston
Wedgwood Drive - ST12
Too little feedback this year for a full review on this intriguing eatery in The Potteries – part of the World of Wedgewood experience – whose high-profile founding chef, local Staffordshire lad Niall Keating, left after three years in May 2024. There is a full-on chef’s table blow-out, but most visitors opt for the relatively affordable posh-brasserie menu (which is the formula price given).
