The Duncombe Arms - East Staffordshire

We were recommended to try Ducombe Weapons by the local holiday home where we were staying, and I'm so glad we did. It was excellent value for money, with 3 courses for Sunday dinner costing just £35. We had the most delicious Sunday dinner, and the staff were fantastic and very attentive.

Fantastic eating and wonderful service would always come back

Beautiful place. attentive friendly staff. delicious food. However, I asked for a quiet table, in a corner, without passing “travel”. our table was far too close to the next table, the conversation was so loud that we sat with them. our table was also next to the servers until the stairs went to the front area so that the people (the hired) constantly came past us. there was the perfect table in the front area that would have been better suited for our special occasion. I was also served suppe without spoon a sweet sherry when I asked about harbour. so it was a nice evening, but our particular question seemed to have been ignored for what we paid, I expected a little more to consider. Thank you.

Had a lovely stay. Food was fantastic and attentive staff for evening meal and breakfast. Only criticism on the stay was when arrived to check in. We were shown to our room by a young man working behind the bar. He didnt introduce himself so I didn’t get his name. His customer service style was laid back to say the least. Friendly but not professional. Shown into room and advised “ I won’t show you around as I’m sure you have stayed in a hotel room before”. Not what I would expect when people are paying nearly £200 pound a night. As a bar man he may not of been trained in welcoming guests. My wife and I have worked in the hospitality trade and know that first impressions count. Aside from that the rest of the stay was faultless. We will definitely be back for a meal as we live near and the food was amazing. We plan to stay over in the spring and bring our son with us. Thanks for the great stay.

Food was amazing. Service was disappointingly poor.
