Where every detail earns its place
Modern British cuisine served with precision and without pretension. Small plates. Exceptional wine. No hurry.
Our philosophy
"Good food is honest food. Every ingredient on the plate earned its position."
We work with Staffordshire farmers and artisan suppliers. Our menu changes weekly — not because it's fashionable, but because the best ingredients are seasonal by nature.
— Head Chef, The Copper Fox

Praise
What guests are saying
A few favourites — picked from a year of guest reviews.
-
The Beef Wellington was a special-occasion triumph: pastry crisp, beef pink edge to edge, and the mushroom duxelles deeply savoury. Worth every penny.
-
Shepherd’s pie like my nan used to make, but better. Rich lamb, golden mash crust, served piping hot.
-
The garden G&T is proper — local gin, elderflower, garnished with cucumber and a sprig of mint from their patch. Best one I’ve had this summer.
-
Saturday brunch sorted. Eggs cooked to order, sausages with character, black pudding done properly. Restorative.
-
Sunday roast as it should be — pink, generous, with Yorkshire puddings the size of soup bowls. Booking recommended.
-
Best sticky toffee pudding within an hour’s drive of Lichfield. Worth the journey and the calories.
