Restaurants in Stafford
1. Oakedge Shooting Ground
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 33 reviews
Oakedge Park is 74 acres on the edge of Cannock Chase. It is approached via the A513 Milford Road, (two miles from Shugborough). You drive in through the new safer entrance through the oak gate following the road to the right running parallel with the road, the turn left with the pools on the right hand side. You then enter the car park (for weekend use). The Club House can be seen from the car park. The staff take great pride in keeping the grounds as clean and beautiful as possible. It is certainly a beautiful place to shoot or hold an event. Indeed the ideal setting for a Game Fair (27th and 28th April 2013)

After spending weeks attempting to write my university dissertation with no luck, I decided to head down to the Guildhall gallery for some inspiration. I was given a lovely warm welcome and able to purchase coffee and cake, as well as a light lunch, to keep me motivated. Between bouts of writing and brainstorming, I was able to browse the lovely selection of art and crafts available to purchase. I will definitely be back to admire the talented artists’ work and enjoy the atmosphere once the dissertation has been completed to fully appreciate what a beautiful gallery/cafe this is.

Just a short walk from home this is a fantastic location for leisure visits for all the family. Lots of trails for all and just fantastic views, the choice of entry routes is endless, we often walk along the canal and then into seven springs before heading to Marquis Drive or Birches Valley, just the tip of what this area has to offer

Whilst there is plenty of exhibits for visitors to admire in this free museum as a carpenter/joiner and latterly building surveyor I was fascinated at the construction of this hewn English oak timber framed building.

The Dick Whittington A Rock ‘N’ Roll Panto was fantastic! It was my first pantomime and I was told not to expect much. I was so impressed!! All the cast members were extremely talented, dancing, singing and even playing multiple instruments. The show went by so fast because every act had our attention. The Stafford Gatehouse Theatre hosts so many good acts. It’s a great venue. There isn’t a bad seat in the building. We will definitely be back.
