The Butler's Bell, Stafford

Not really a pub, as such, more a continental-style bar, culturally more cafe than pub. It's a modern, open sterile establishment at one end of the main pedestrian area, airy and convivial, well-suited to the shopper. However, there is no real ale, and the food isn't really what I'd want in a pub either. Fine for a quick lunch in town but not somewhere I'd want to spend an evening.

very convenient for shoppers, very nice beer and helpful barstaff, I have never tried the food.
