Had lunch with family, Gooid selection from menu and specials board, enjoyed the Staffordshire Oatcakes with Beans and Cheese. The Mess also does evening dining at Weekends which would require booking.All in all a friendly at not to expensive eatery. Note it is really nearer Wolverampton than Stafford. More

Went here a few weeks ago with my family for an evening meal, i was still able to use my taste card on the very reasonable set price menu. The food was served promptly and was of good quality and very tasty. The only shame was the place was so quiet on a week night - a little more advertising... More

We were boating on the 'Shroppie' and fancied a mid morning stroll around Brewood. The Mess was busy with a party of mums and some grandmas doing child care duties. Very friendly atmosphere and made to feel welcome. Coffee and a proper toasted teacake was just the job and in addition we took away 2 slices of yummy carrot cake... More

The lovely little restaurant is welcoming with an individual decor which makes it stand out from other places we've visited. The food is always delicious and served well by friendly staff. We would definately... More

Following a recommendation from a work collegue, we contacted the restaurant to arrange our event. We were able to meet with... More

We had a lazy Sunday and decided to drive into Brewood for a look around for something to eat. We happened upon the Mess bistro/cafe. Having looked at the menu we decided to go in for brunch. The children ordered their meals and we had a full English breakfast, the choice was plentiful and food delicious. We were initially confused... More

The food at this place was equally comparable to a city restaurant and the decor very stylish and now nice an bright. Staff were pleasant and you can now see they have upped their game not only from a service perspective but they know seem to be listening to their customers by opening Monday's and serving more home made cakes...
