The Chase, Rugeley

A large detached pubco build, with a white rendered facade and large patio area. The interior is open plan, with a mix of plain walls in green, red, yellowy creamy and brown wallpaper. It is mainly food based, with Sky TV and generic background music at a decent level, but it was nice to see a dartboard there. There were a a collection of old photos, prints and mirrors to decorate the walls, but all in all it felt a little soulless as it is so big, despite there being a reasonable sized mixed clientele. The service was fine. Beer; tap stuff, Banks's MILD, Bitter and Pedigree on handpull - the MILD was ok enough. I just feel some of the pubco places are a bit soulless and this is no exception - i have seen a lot worse, but you really go there to eat rather than have a pint in my opinion.
