Gastropubs in Walton On Trent

“Visited on a Thursday in November, around 2pm. Weather was wet and rainy, and the steps down from the car park had leaves on them, so I made use of the handrails on the side of the stairs to make sure I didnt slip over (poor footwear choice!)Booked a table in advance but there plenty of tables available for walk ins. Staff were friendly and attentive, and they checked twice if we had any allergies to anything.Drinks orders were taken first - I had a Cheeky Tiki cocktail and my partner had a beer. After these were brought out we had a chance to look at the menu and decide what we wanted to eat. Didn't bother with starters as the portion sizes are very generous (and that's from someone with a healthy appetite!). I ordered the smokey barbecue chicken skewer, which comes with 2 sides of my choosing (had the chunky chips and the salad), and my partner had the club sandwich (after seeing it come out to someone else). We did leave some of what we had ordered, and there was an option to take the leftovers home.We were asked if we wanted a dessert, and I ordered a cookie dough yakatori skewer - three cookie dough balls, smothered in chocolate on a wooden skewer. As the table had been booked for a birthday celebration, they also brought out a scoop of ice cream on a waffle wafer, on a slate with Happy Birthday written in strawberry sauce. This would have been the perfect dessert given that I was full from the main - the cookie dough skewer was great, but a lot richer than I was expecting!Would happily visit again, just need to remember to say yes to taking the leftovers home, and leaving a bit room for dessert!Parking: Car park is behind the pub. Drive up is little narrow, but got a big 4x4 up without issues. Car park has 2 parts to it - some spaces directly behind the pub, and then a second section up a driveway to the left of the main car park.”
