The Staff Of Life, Country Pub Eatery

A village pub with a good ambience. Lovely to see everyone come into the pub with their dogs after the local shoot. It created a nice country vibe. I had been looking forward to trying the food at the Staff of Life. However, due to time constraints, I opted for a quick bite to eat rather than a main meal. I ordered loaded nachos and was very disappointed to find that none of the ingredients were fresh. The toppings were what I 'd call 'fake food ' straight from a bottle. The guacamole was bright green, obviously full of food colouring. The salsa had never seen a tomato in its life and the cheese was a processed liquid. Why opt for fake toppings when it takes a few minutes to make them fresh? How difficult can it be to grate real cheese over a plate of nachos? This was a very quick and simple dish to execute even by an untrained cook. It surprises me that an establishment selling food would be okay with allowing this to leave their kitchen! Definitely room for improvement.

My wife and I had the Sunday lunchtime carvery. We were greeted with a lovely friendly welcome from Steve the owner. The ambience could not have been better as the pub was relatively busy but there remained sufficient room to order the pre lunch drinks. The place was very clean and the decorations were impressive. The food, we had the beef, was perfectly cooked and plentiful, the vegetables were both excellent and freshly cooked. It was the best carvery we have eaten in a very long while. We will definitely return but I suggest you book first as when we left it was very busy

Recently reopened in Mowsley, Lutterworth after a long closure. Went on a Thursday evening and the welcome was very warm and friendly from Steve. I had the chicken tikka masala and it was lovely. My son decided upon the fish and chips and he said it was one of the tastiest he had had for a long time. We bumped into the chef towards the end of the evening and paid him compliments which were fully deserved. Will definitely return, and in fact we are for Mother's Day. I would certainly recommend visiting the Staff of Life.

Super meal with friends. I had the calamari and lamb shank which I'd recommend. Just a shame there wasn't more customers because there should have been. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
