Stumbled on this handsome village local whilst walking across Cannock Chase and returning through Shugborough estate.
Impressive mock tudor, with a large beer garden. Traditional interior - dogs sat on high stools at the bar, real fire, few locals in an L Shaped room with tiled floor.
Surprised by the 5 cask on - that included permanent Bass (as advertised), TT Landlord and unremembered others. Alas, with a hot summers day, I went for something cold and fizzy with lots of ice. It wasn't Eurofizz.
Keen pricing - pleasantly surprised that my beef baguette and pint of lemonade gave plenty of change from a tenner.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Clifford Arms
Very attractive and welcoming village pub with a brewer's Tudor facade. Partly opened-out to leave a L-shaped arrangement, with the main part of the bar counter to the right and more of a lounge area to the left. A separate restaurant can also be found towards the rear. Also has a beer garden to one side. Six real ales on handpump: Bass (£3.90), Old Speckled Hen, Doom Bar, Exmoor Gold, Wainwright and Landlord.

This village pub has upped it's game since my last visit with a decent selection of ale and well cooked pub food.The chef was checking that customers were happy with their fare ,and there is a wide mix of customers from locals to cyclists ,boaters and visitors to the Shugborough Estate.There is a seperate restaurant to the carpark side of the building if you want to eat away from the popular lounge .Despite the flatscreen ,the whole interior has a traditional feel , real fireplaces and fine beer quality as reflected in the GBG 2011 listing.I have to congratulate the owners on their enlightened policy of employing a bevvy of very attractive barmaids,a tactic which does add another very good reason to call in,and ensures a loyal local customer base.Will pop back when next in the area.
