The Soup Kitchen Stafford

I was fortunate to be part of a group of who enjoyed a first class lunch today at the Soup Kitchen. The items we selected from the extensive menu was delicious, and well presented, and the staff were enthusiastic and attentive. Highly recommended.

This place has got a lot of charm! The waiters a mix of young and old ladies wear black dresses with white aprons. It is like going back in time! They are really sweet and make you feel really comfortable. From outside the place looks small but in fact there are many rooms inside with a lot of antique decoration. The food is ok, great for snacks, quiches, sandwiches, salads... They also serve nice sweet and it is a nice experience to go for afternoon tea. The place closed at so no dining possible which is a shame. It is also closed on Sunday.

Staff are probably their main strength. Decor is great too. I had the soup but it tasted more like off the shop soup. Coronation chicken was nice though

As always the reception is impeccable and has not changed over the last or so years. Afternoon tea arranged and the table laid out extremely nice, everything in bone China all matching which these days is quite rare. A wide variety of sandwiches and cakes and of course there signature scones. Fresh boiling water was regularly supplied along with a wide selection of teas. The staff all dressed in uniform matching , including the gentleman waiters. This type of Old English establishment is a fast receding business which is part of our heritage. Thank you for a pleasant visit.
