Radford Bank, Queensville, Stafford

This place has grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.It's the only canalside pub for miles around and yet the focus is on extreme value carvery at the expense of a genuine pub atmosphere.Real ale is due to make an appearance sometime in the future but the only drinking area is in an upstairs bar devoid of character or in the garden,which is very weather dependent.The pubco is sitting on a potential goldmine but refuses to give up the easy option of catering to the lowest common denominator.
