I took my girlfriend out for Valentines night, and i can safely say it was the best meal i have eaten in years. The atmosphere was stunning, candle lit, low lighting, beautiful music and very friendly, welcoming & attentive staff. The food we opted for the sharing meals on offer, so we started with a house sampler, which was a selection of most of the starters from the al a carte menu & everything was amazing, true value for money at the same time. We then shared a massive 40oz tbone steak which came accompanied with hand cut chips, sessonal vegetables, red cabbage, new pots, mixed salad & 3 different sauces, all of which were ...  Read the complete review

I have raved to my colleagues at work about the fabulous dining experience to be had at the Whittington Arms. I've dined on numerous occasions with my family, friends and even Lichfield Ladies Circle (a local charity organisation for females linked with Round table for ladiesaged 18-45).

The Whittington Arms is a pub/restaurant on the outskirts of Lichfield, Staffordshire. It is situated on the A51 which runs between Tamworth and Lichfield and is positioned not far from Whittington Army Barracks. The building itself dates from the early 20th century and inside it portrays a rustic yet contemprorary feel.
