We had such a brilliant time at Go Ape! The team were absolutely fantastic with my 6-year-old daughter — patient, encouraging, and full of energy. She was a little nervous to start, but their friendly approach really put her at ease and helped her feel confident navigating the course. It was great to see a setup that feels adventurous but safe, and the staff clearly knew how to engage children at the right level. The whole experience was fun, well-organized, and empowering — Maya walked away beaming with pride and already asking when she could go again!

Had a fabulous time at Go Ape Cannock chase, Esme was our instructor, she was very professional and encouraging with excellent guidance and support on the challenging sections. I highly recommend giving this adventure a go to test you physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience taking our 8 and 11 year old on the treetop adventure plus. Staff were welcoming and friendly, thorough briefing before using the equipment, and off we went. Excellent time has by all, our lads went flying off and loved it all. Now they're asking to go again 😂👌

Great experience. Different levels for different ages. I’ve done it before, but this time was an observer, I was able to follow my group around and take some photos. The reception staff were very useful when it came to choosing the best gloves and glove size.

The go ape course and staff are excellent and great views around whilst doing your experience. I have done this go ape many times before. However I won't ever attend this go ape again because of how expensive the car parking is. Cost me £10.50 for 2 hrs 10 minutes parking. Its a shame as its lovely there

Fabulous Outdoor activity! Good for thrill seekers. Meg is our instructor and her customers service went above and beyond.Kudos to your team. x

Had a fantastic experience with my son here. The instructors /staff were excellent. James was knowledgeable and friendly, which put my son at ease. I also loved the calm and thoughtful nature of INSERT NAME HERE (The curly haired guy). Does a great job and was super friendly. A fantastic experience all around. The wait was improved by having another go on the zip, which we loved too. A huge thank you to e staff and how hard they work. Sorry about all the sweeping up of the wood chippings - ha ha. You're awesome!

Great place with the little ones. Stick man trial and Gruffalo trial qere great

Parking is a bit steep £7.30 for two hours but it’s all ANPR controlled with barriers. Lots of parking and has a cafe toilets pop up coffee cabin go ape Segway lots of short and longer walks all signposted and access to the x3 mountain bike routes as well as a top notch mtb shop and bike hire. So it’s all going on here recommend an early morning visit as it can get really busy the later you leave it!

possibly one of the most beautiful places ever to exist, from my experience it’s super clean no litter to be found! Respected by everyone who goes. Perfect to unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature. Definitely makes the payment to park worth it.

Very disappointed that it was portaloo's as the main toilets were all closed up, my husband came out of loo and said unless you are desperate I wouldn't use them. Not sitting level parents trying to negotiate inside this small cubicle with children just not practical.

The playground next to goape Cannock is clean and comfortable. Plenty of Picnic table and bench. Toilet and cafe is just next supporting your near. It is very good to have a rest after goape challenge.

Great Place for a family visit, can ride your bike around the dog or monkey, even a easy route around for the whole family any skill level. Also a bike shop for spares and hire I think. Nice little cafe for after your ride. Also go ape is here which is a fun couple of hours if you like heights.

Excellent wildlife area in the heart of Cannock Chase. Nice signposted walks of multiple distances, including a shorter route that is wheelchair suitable. Excellent family and 'proper' mountain bike trails for all abilities. Children's adventure play area, junior and adult Go Ape tree climbing and a decent café. On site bike shop. Only quibble is parking is a bit expensive, but a Discovery pass for frequent visitors £40) gives free parking for a year. Very good at Christmas with tree sales and Santa and food huts. Recommended.

As a tourist visiting the area, I was absolutely blown away by Cannock Chase Forest. The scenery is stunning , peaceful woodlands, open clearings, and some truly beautiful views. It felt like a perfect escape into nature. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it quickly became one of the highlights of my trip. The trails are well, marked and easy to follow, and there’s such a calming atmosphere throughout. Whether you’re into hiking or just want to enjoy a quiet walk, this place is a must visit. I’d definitely come back again!

A lovely wood to visit. A really nice walk through the trees to the pools with dragonflies and swallows darting over them. Lots of wildflowers and butterflies. A nice cafe with VERY good ice-cream. Well worth a visit and highly recommend.

Great place to visit but you have to pay for parking but there are lots of fun things to do here for all ages!!

Plenty of parking offering great facilities and plenty of activities on offer. Parking is outrageously expensive though. Gruffalo trail and bike tracks, pedal and play are great for little kids. Easy access to other main biking trails as well.

I absolutely love it here. All the trails are perfect with lots of different options for different abilities and activities.

Exceptionally neat and tidy. Well maintained and looked after and something for everyone, from walking to cycling and activities for families

Had lunch in the grounds cafe which was very nice. Then I played we disc golf which was very enjoyable,the only downside was the terrible signage for the course and where to get the discs

Visit on a Thursday for the disability swim session. Staff are always excellent, friendly & helpful & engage with the kids. Disabled change could be better (no hoist or large changing bed) but having done several other local centres we prefer this one mainly due to the attitude & engagement from the staff, from reception to the lifeguards.

First visit to the leisure centre to take my granddaughter swimming and was pleasantly surprised. It is tucked away in a housing estate, so you need to be careful entering and exiting, but plenty of car parking. Outside playing area for kids and is clean and tidy.

Staff are friendly and welcoming. Gym has limited choice and at peak times you are waiting for children to finish using the equipment. This gym attracts a lot of young lads. The gym is OK for general fitness but lacks options for the more serious trainers. Might be better off at Pure Gym (at half the cost) or Anytime Fitness at the same price, and is 24 hours, whereas RLC isn't open bank holidays or early mornings

Ok... It's a nice enough place but it's a nightmare in the changing rooms cos people block them by leaving their stuff in there. Sometimes there's a horrible smell in the changing rooms and the coffee machine is always out of order. Parking is good tho and the staff are nice.

Live the pool, great gym. Really good value

Good leisure centre with swimming pool, squash courts, gym, hall, out door 5g football pitch, park and smaller rooms to rent out for classes. This is not a private own leisure centre and is run by the council so do expect it to be a high tech gym. But it is good value for money and it's not that pricey for classes etc. Downside is it could do with a revamp as it looks a bit worn and tired in places. On a positive the swim classes for kids are very good and they have some great instructors.

Clean tidy and staff very friendly

Great little micropub with a good rotating selection of ales. Dog friendly and pleasant atmosphere.

Visited here on the off chance after my bus was delayed...kind of glad I did..wat a lovely establishment set in a shopping area just outside Rugeley on the bus service route 828 behind the spar shop..great ale great service too...

Great ale house with a good and always changing selection of craft ales and ciders. With it friendly and warm atmosphere it's a great place to pop in for a quick pint when going to the local shops, or for meeting up with a couple of friends for a catch up. Hell! It make for a great regular local as well.

Great craft beer. A must if you live with in 10 miles at least. You will not be disappointed. Plus, it's super value for money. The continually changing beers are super impressive. It's a has a very chilled atmosphere.

Always amazing, always a wide variety of ales and other drinks, great atmosphere everytime, amazing place. Can’t recommend the place enough, a must visit place!

Had the best IPA drink here few weeks ago but I specifically I went here on Wed 21 May 2025 and it wasn't open big sad and I went at the time it should have been open

Didn't eat here but there were 4 takeaways next door. The selection if beers is impressive. We had the dark stouts and they were delicious. They have a list on the wall of a good selection of rums, gins and whiskeys. Great little micro pub.

Very friendly staff, ordered large cod, portion of chips curry sauce small sausage. The fish portion was in my opinion small with curled up edges, and dark slightly hard batter. The actual fish was nice. I’ve had larger and better mini fish from other places. Chips and sausage were good and curry sauce spot on. So gave overall 4 stars. Got to admit was disappointed with Cod especially how much it cost.

Great shop and service. Maybe play soft music and dim the lights a little. I have not long been out of a Secure Mental Health Unit and this place got me very emotional and extremely excited. So happy the good Lord guided me to this place.

Great food, lovely staff, and reasonably priced too. Judging by the queue at the door when I arrived, it's extremely popular! Will be visiting again for sure.

Absolutely gorgeous fish and chips. Best in the area. Great service whilst you're in there. Very welcoming! Cannot wait to go back already.

The cod pieces were sublime, super crispy batter, succulent cod, great smaller portions for a lighter supper. Super helpful staff.

Been going here for 40+ years, always get the best food no matter what you order. That's why they win awards. 🏆 👍👍👍

This is a really well run Chip Shop, accept cards, reapinsive on website chat and polite staff and venue was clean - I drive past 3 chip shops to go to this one

Took over 40 minutes to arrive which would have been fine had the food been edible. Food was absolutely shocking, must have been sat for a long time as we ordered the sub melt and it came stone cold and it was so hard we couldn't even bite through it. Won't be ordering again shocking quality for the price you pay

If you’re into stale bread this should be your go to, if I could give no stars I would.. We got two footlongs earlier this afternoon and when we went to eat them less than an hour later it was saddening to feel/find the bread was stale. Not the lovely soft bread we should have but hard horrible and stale.. Why oh why is that? When it’s picked up surely they can feel the breads hard and discard it? No wonder they asked if I wanted them toasting as I’m sure that would hide the fact they were stale.. Sadly when asked “what type of bread” I’d like, I even said “your softest” so god only knows what the rest was like if these were the softest.. Anyway as there’s plenty of decent QS food offerings around I’d suggest you avoid this place like the plague.. Sad, really sad they let this quality out to customers.. No way will I return and I’d suggest you done either..

Rude staff (except the young one - Katie I’m sure her name is), all table dirty, floor covered in food. £14 for 2 6” meal deals, it’s not worth it. At no point has anyone come out to do any cleaning. Asked about the code for toilet door, told ‘on your receipt’. I said ‘I’m not sure where I’ve put it’ and was told ‘well you’ll need to find it’. They could clearly see I was a single dad with 2 young children

I was served by a new starter named Tia very confident with a welcoming presence. She was supervised by very caring and patient team members and food was great 👍🏼

Really lovely, freshly made food. Helpful and friendly staff.

Until the car park is sorted, see below, i strongly advise drivers against visiting, hence 1 star. If you can get there on foot then its 4 star. In relation to food, enjoyed it, quick friendly service. Note that if you want to eat in, this place is not great - void of any atmosphere and is Probably the most unwelcoming seating space you can find at a uk subway. Important- the car park has so many pot holes you are at significant risk of damaging your cars - the holes are deep, you literally can't avoid them.

Very impressed with professional service from lady serving when I got a little confused about my rewards. She explained where I was miss understanding and even re entered my order for me to get the best benefit. All the time happy and smiling. One happy customer. Thank you.

Really good atmosphere, we have been here before and returned because of the food being so good. We spent about £50 on the food for my salad to come out like this… I dont understand how that was seen to have been of a good enough standard to have been served to a customer. I never ended up touching it. My partner had to club sandwich which also contains chicken and this immediately put him off. We were waiting for someone to come to our table to see how our meals were as that’s what usually happens. However we were there for an hour and a half after our food had been served and no one had came to our table. I’m a very anxious person and as it was busy I felt like I couldn’t go to the bar and didn’t want to make a ‘scene’ with a lot of people around. I don’t think we will be coming here again. The service was shocking in my opinion, as there was never an opportunity to tell a member of staff there was something wrong discreetly as no member of staff ever attended our table after the food was served. So we spent £50 on food to leave it untouched at the table.

Stopped for a late lunch, plenty of choice at the bar and a range of items on the menu. We ordered steak and mushroom baguette and a beer battered fish baguette ( but on a ciabatta) and we exchanged the crisps for fries....I can honestly say that the two lunches were great value, tasty and we had plenty to eat. We would definitely recommend this pub for food...the only downside was we couldn't find a cycle rack in the rear carpark.

Had a fantastic experience at The Horns Inn yesterday! My friend and I had a lovely walk around Cannock Chase before heading in for our booked table for lunch. We were kindly shown to our table but asked if we could move closer to the window, and this was graciously accommodated. We were seated in the dog-friendly area, which was no problem at all, and the one dog that arrived was very well-behaved. For food, I had the chicken club sandwich with an upgrade to chips, and my friend had the steak sandwich, also with chips. My friend's steak sandwich was cooked perfectly and was delicious, and my club sandwich was absolutely amazing. It was a huge portion, and I was just about able to finish the last piece! The blue cheese fondue we ordered was also a highlight—great for dipping the chips. The drinks were perfect, too. I was particularly impressed to find Heineken 0.0 on draught, which was lovely and a real bonus. The price was roughly £22 per person and for what we ate was great value for the quality of food and drinks. I would certainly recommend this place and will be back next time I'm in the Cannock Chase area.

Me and my friend were on a walk from rugeley to Hednesford. We found this pub along the way, and we were so glad we did. Lovely welcoming pub, staff were friendly, food was delicious especially the chips. Never had chips so good, and the price was great too. I was pleasantly surprised to see they have essentials ladies would need for free in their toilets, what a great touch. Thank you guys.

Stopped off for lunch. Pub was quiet so plenty of tables available. Staff were friendly and helpful. I had fish, chips and mushy peas in the 2 for £24.95 deal. The chips were the best I've ever eaten, cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully. The fish was the perfect size and tasted lovely. A wonderful country pub.

After waiting for over an hour for what seemed like a very simple meal, I was really disappointed. I know it was a Saturday, but come on, this is just not acceptable. My 6 year old could make something better for me. The staff were not helpful. Their attitude toward me left me feeling like my custom was not appreciated at all. Definitely won't be going back.

Fair experience and I will explain. Love the chips and pickled onion rings. The rarebit is also delicious- a large dish and couldn't eat it all so no complaint here for those dishes. The steak was very tough on this occasion and the sauce, their was a mix up, and told to buy another if I wanted the correct one. The manager cannot do enough for you; and Emma she is really friendly and will be good to run that pub. The other loud mouthed lady with the red hair, not so much. She will run the pub into the ground with her attitude towards customers. Maybe needs to work on her self awareness too- or go and work in a prison dishing food up. The other young bar staff, although less confident, they are friendly enough. The location of this pub is perfect, surrounded by nice walks. Having lived in the village for 30years it's nice to have this little pub, but could do with some staff not having so much of an attitude as it ruins the place. Good luck on your new venture Dawn. I hear theyre not renewing your license. Hopefully they will get some more staff to take over this lovely pub so our lovely village doesn't lose it. --------------------------------------------------------- Hello Dawn, In response to your reply. -The staff are part of the dining experience. -I partake in mystery diner, and bulk review the week. Hence many reviews done yesterday. -Concentrate on trying to run that pub and keeping it open, instead of running your mouth. You are a great manager, but your mouth lets it down. -when you get a bad review, take it on the chin instead of saying every single one is fake. From my experience in there, all the reviews you say are fake, really aren't. -So defensive of the food because your son is a chef at your pub. Enjoy your holiday Dawn. Let's hope you get to keep that pub. That said, they've probably read the reviews and your responses, and decided maybe, you aren't the people to continue to run the pub. Have a great day Dawn. Best wishes BILL

We recently booked the theatre for a one night charity concert, consisting of amateur singers and local school children. Owen and the team were fantastic. Welcoming, helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Amazing experience, thank you! Lizzie and Keith

Great theatre. Spacious and clean. Helpful lovely staff. Bar drinks reasonably priced. I'd love to come here again.

Great live music venue. 210 seats, very modern, comfortable, bar, limited on site parking. Well worth a visit.

A pleasant discovery and worthy of as much support as the community can give. Friendly staff. Decent parking .

Nice theatre, comfortable chairs. Bar is well stocked with decent prices

Just had a great day as part of a craft event at The Rugeley Rose. What a lovely venue and lovely staff who were very helpful. There is another one I November ready for Christmas. The Rugeley Rose has great facilities, comfy seating area and a great well stocked bar as well as lots of Tea and coffee too x

Needs to advertise more. I'm local. & only recently went. Very good shows.

Never been to a most beautiful place in sunshine. There were fresh ducklings and one was stuck behind a barrier and i was so lucky to hold a duckling and help them to their momma. The place is clean peaceful and would highly recommend for anyone including families. Theres a side hut with bunnies and birds too along side geese and ducks in the pond.

Good, nice park for locals, not the sort of park you’d travel far for as it’s a small park, wouldn’t be for a day out. Toilets aren’t open due to vandalism, been like that for a while. Sometimes there is a lot of bird poo all over the paths but I suppose that’s going to happen. Would be good if it could be cleaned for those with young children

A nice Park close to Rugely town center. A well maintained park and a credit to the staff who care for it. It has a beautiful lake fed by the rising brook stream. The lake has a horseshoe shaped island host to numerous wild fowl, Canada geese, swans and ducks. It also contains pets corner with guinea pigs, rabbits and budgies A nice peaceful place to visit and is well worth a visit if in the area

Small park around quite a big pond. Takes about 10 minutes to walk around it. Small play area for younger children and a fairly decent public toilet.

Great for a relax and check out the Canadian geese close up also other waterbirds. Not forgetting the cages with finches budgies and canaries I did also see a rabbit 🐇 Also great carpark across the road 4.50 for 11 hours no hight restrictions free Sundays and bank holidays

A beautiful spot to sit and eat your lunch. Lovely safe area to take your children. A lovely spot for bird watchers. And to see Lichfield Cathedral

Lovely little park just outside town nice for picnic when not raining and play area for kids.

A great brew pub with a good selection of beers on tap including an excellent stout. Has a snug with comfy chairs if you want a quiet pint.

Alas I cannot add a picture as I was so busy having a brilliant night I forgot to take one! I can honestly say though that I really look forward to visiting The Vine when I’m in Rugeley. The location is easy to find, the building itself is lovely, the staff are fantastic and friendly and the drinks on offer are great. I would highly recommend the charred pineapple rum! The landlady is wonderful, and I would highly encourage a visit!

We all had a great birthday party 🎉 for my sons 21st, up stairs venue was just the job 👍 for us. Big thanks to all the team at the Vine

Great pub with great Cask Ale. Well worth a visit. I didn't have food so I cannot comment.

Pub and brewery. Great beer. My sort of place and the haven't joined the "rip off Britain campaign. "

My first visit and very impressed. Proper traditonal pub selling great condition real ales, some from their own on-site brewery. A warm welcome from bar staff (and the real fire), and friendly locals. Will be back for sure.

A good, friendly old fashioned pub with their own brewed beer on sale.

Would review with 0 stars if it was possible. We ordered food, forgot a curry on our online order so rang and they added it no problem, food came, was cold but we were starving so ate it anyway, found hairs in the curry so rang to inform them, man on the phone was lovely and said the driver would come back with a refund. 5 minutes after we get our money back the manager rings us to tell us we won’t be allowed to order from The Must again. Disgusting customer service and awful food after new management.

Wide selection of delicious food, the dessert section especially. The only thing missing was sea food. Had a small wait, but the food more than made up for it. Friendly staff & good atmosphere!

We ordered only 3 dishes , it took 45 min to serve. Food were not warm, but tasteless. Biriyani dish was a joke. They did not provide plate initially, after requesting, received after few min. Being Indian,I can say, food were nowhere close to it's standard. Not worth for money. I will not recommend.

I have to say that the customer service from Must was simply amazing, I ordered a collection online.. when I arrived they explained that the order hadn't come through to their systems and they were so sorry about that, I can completely understand that this happens sometimes, they then took down my order again took a little picture of my confirmation of payment then said it will be around 20 minutes however, they didn't expect me to wait again and will deliver it to my door 20 minutes later they was at my door with my food! Amazing They apologised again and explained they had given me couple of free drinks which was so thoughtful as they didn't have to, then it comes down to the food, the flavour was insane it was beautiful I couldn't stop eating there wasn't one bad dish! Everything was cooked to perfection and in all honesty I can't wait to eat there again, thank you for everything.

Sadly a disappointing experience, the service was not to bad, but the young lads at front of house, seemed a bit inexperienced, got our bill wrong, added an extra £4 onto it, seems they cant add up. As for the food, the starters were ok, plenty of choice and tasted alright, but as for the choice of main courses, they were pretty poor, the curry all lacked an substance, it was just cubes of chicken in watered down sauces, didn't see anything like onions or pepper's Etc in any of the curries, ok choice of sweets, if you are a child, we will not be returning.

Amazing experience. High quality fresh buffet and each item I tried was amazing! If I had ordered a plateful of anything offered in the buffet as a sit down experience I would have been more than happy. 100% recommended.

Absolutely raging. We ordered £60 worth of food for me my Mrs and our son. Me and my Mrs ordered a combination meal each. An hour later and we get our food but with one half of both our meals missing so we phone and explain what's missing etc. 10 minutes later we get a call back asking us to explain again what's missing. It felt as if they somehow didn't believe us. 30 minutes after this call they still haven't delivered the rest f our food so I phoned and requested our money to be refunded understandably not very politely. Completely ruined our night and the film we were watching. Another 15 minutes later a guy turns up with our food and handsome a 20 note. Better than nothing I suppose but didn't make up for the lack of competence and we won't be using them again

Look at the calamari! Wow. Every table seems to be complaining. The waitresses were really good apart from the young waiter. Who seemed to take delight in correcting my table number. When I gave the wrong one. The female waiting staff were polite and helpful. And up against it with a bad bad "chef" Didn't return fit breakfast as planned and paid for.

Absolutely shocking! Had a carvery meat was fine. Potatoes and parsnips very over cooked, vegetables undercooked. Was told 15 -20 minutes on other meals. We finished our dinner before the other meals came. Lady serving the carvery was muttering and swearing under her breath too. Also had reserved a table by the window which we couldn’t sit at because other people were sat there so we were given a table in the bar area which was noisy.

The staff could not be more helpful! I have so many food allergies, that eating out is a nightmare. I've eaten here many times, and have never been disappointed. There's a good selection of well marked foods that cover most issues for me. I usually miss out on a pudding, too many variables to risk, for me. The staff are always friendly, and i let them know I'm i "problem customer" with my allergies. Never has this been an issue. Ever. The manager even took the time to take a picture of the ingredients label of the ice cream they offered, so I could order it! Well above and beyond, in my opinion. So helpful, too. Even letting me know the chain of pubs they belonged to, so I would be safe ordering it in any of them. Whitbread group as i was informed. For me, that's so helpful. Adds places I can go, should I choose, and that really means a lot. The Colliers is a good drive out for us, but it's handy for family meet ups, as it's in the middle for most of us. 100% recommended for all!!

The restaurant was quite quiet with over half of the restaurant being empty. Ordered 2 adult meals and 2 children's meals. The meal took 1 hour and 10 mins to arrive (the table next to us waited 30 mins for drinks to arrive before their order was taken, and another waiting that length of time for the table to be cleared and the bill to arrive), when the food did arrive the meals were very small. Made food when we got home to fill us up!

Well we thought of giving the colliers a try for breakfast and what a disappointment it was. On arrival we were pleasantly greated by a member of staff who told us we needed to pay first and then we could go and help ourselves to the buffet breakfast. At first glances everything looked ok so I made my way to get a tray (no trays) so grabbed a plate which wasn't very clean so picked up another, not very clean but 3rd time lucky so started on the food which all I can say is terrible, swamped in oil to keep warm under the lights. If that was their idea of an English breakfast god help us, the wife on the other hand fancied the so called Continental breakfast which included a bit of fruit and a cold soggy croissant, not the Continental breakfast I was expecting, best was the latte had 2 but the rest of it was rubbish and you would get fresher and hotter food from the local greasy spoon. We will never go again.

Visited yesterday for the breakfast. The lady serving was super helpful and really friendly . She was really busy yet still made sure she printed off a copy of the allergy advice for me and got us fresh food when needed.

Big que waiting to get table on a week night as staff chatting, had to ask to be seated, food below average, told waitress there was a hair in 1 of meal's, wasn't interested, one of our table went to McDonald's as was still hungry, didn't like egg.pineapple or tomato but wasn't given extra chips or peas so was like a child's meal... Wouldn't go again, lovely place but staff not up too much and small portions....... Shame, could be a goldmine
