  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
Whether you’re popping in for brunch, meeting friends for lunch or wining and dining someone special, the Littleton Arms is the perfect blend of contemporary chic and old English charm.
Our locally sourced food, innovative seasonal menus and friendly and attentive service have earned us our reputation as one of the best independent pubs in Staffordshire.
We are renowned for our selection of contemporary and traditional ales and craft beers, our hand-picked wines, and extensive selection of gin and cocktails.
If that seems too much to get through in a day then we recommend booking one of our cosy hotel rooms, which have been sympathetically refurbished to evoke the original Georgian coaching inn while providing all the comforts of a modern hotel.

    Booked for normal menu, when arived only reduced valentines menu was avalible, the ordered, after a while staff member cam back and told me only one fillet stake so my partner said she would have sirloin as replacmemt at reduced cost, order medium, came out blue, asked for a replacment, they put her part eaten stake back on the grill and put it in the plate and brought it back still underdone, i said this was unacceptable, they then told me they had run out of sirloin so they could do rump, we agreed, by this point i had eaten my food. We came out for a romantic valentines meal together yet we ended up eating septate and stressed out. They did take her meal off the bill but it still ruined our valentines day a bit as we'd been at work all day so this was our little treat. Also felt the staff felt inconvenienced because we complained even though i was quite polite about the situation. Only person with good customer service was who I imagine was the manager, she was the one that rectified it.

    Falsely advertised as being able to have the normal menu and the valentines. We arrived and could only have valentines, 4 tables around us also complained about this. You then ran out of the steak meaning there was only 1 meat option available for main. Both meat mains were beef/ox. This should have not been advertised as “alongside all your favourite dishes” as it was not and was a huge disappointment. My starter also had to be redone as it was cold.

    Excellent all round. Very cosy atmosphere and we weren’t rushed even though we ended up staying for almost 3 hours! Only one comment - please serve the hot drinks hotter!

    Thoroughly enjoyed Sunday lunch today. Staff attentive and respectful. The only thing I would say is I feel need couple more waiters to speed things up a little.

    Food and wine were excellent, reasonably priced. We had the warm breads as a starter, salmon with mussels and sea bass for mains. Both fish were cooked perfectly. Pleasant surroundings and atmosphere. Only minor gripe was we had to ask for side plates and weren't given a receptacle for the mussel shells. Overall a very good evening. We have eaten at the Littleton several times and will continue to do so.

    Great little pub, reasonable menu choice, service was great, Megan really looked after us, she was chatty and friendly with a warm approach, readily offered advice and help . We were left to chat with friends we had arranged to meet with no pressure to hurry, which is a rarity these days.

    Warm welcome on arrival, extensive men catered for all wishes of the party of five. The main courses and desserts were all exceptionally tasty and well-presented. In particular, the vanilla ice cream was the best we had experienced in the UK. Highly recommended venue.

    Six of us had a very enjoyable experience at The Littleton on a Saturday afternoon. Service was prompt, friendly and helpful, food was hot, tasty and good value for money. A relaxing atmosphere and pub has been furnished very well. Will be returning soon.
