A village pub in Swynnerton local and proud! We also know a thing or two about port.

Meet the port we’ve been obsessed with this May🍷

Warre’s Otima 10-Year-Old Tawny… it’s velvety smooth, beautifully rounded, with notes of dried fruit, caramel and toffee and an elegant, lingering finish.

Everything a great port should be.

Pair it with a cheese board, or our Pan-Roasted Lamb Chops, or Caramelised Fig and Olive Tapenade.

It also works exceptionally well in a Negroni… Warre’s Otima, Cholmondeley Dry Gin, red vermouth and Campari with a twist of orange… you’ve got to try it!

But don’t hang about, May is nearly over, and so is this one.

Not a wine drinker? We’ve got you covered during our ‘Fish at the Fitz’ Seafood and Wine Week 🐟

Our very own Tim ~ the Fitz’s accredited Beer Sommelier and Deputy Manager (he passed his Guild of Beer Sommeliers exam with flying colours and we couldn’t be prouder!) has been putting his expertise to good use this week by finding the perfect beer pairing for our seafood menu.

And his pick? Non-Alcoholic Lemon Lager 🍋🍺

Tim’s chosen it to sit alongside our Crispy Breaded Plaice… golden fried, served with Massey’s Farm chips, fresh spring salad and homemade tartare sauce.

The zesty citrus notes of the Lucky Saint cut right through the crunch and complement the freshness of the fish beautifully.

Because a great food and drink pairing should be enjoyed by everyone, even if you’re the designated driver, prefer something soft, or just aren’t a fan of wine! 🙌

Give this a try and let Tim know what you think. Cheers! 🍻

🐟 Fish at the Fitz is well underway… and the kitchen is on fire (in the best possible way!)

Our Seafood & Wine Week runs until Saturday 23rd May, and if you haven’t been in yet, here’s your sign.

Tonight’s dish we are featuring from the delicious menu is… Pan-Fried Monkfish Tail 🤍

Served with silky aubergine purée, parmentier potatoes, pickled samphire and a beautiful sauce verte…this is coastal cooking at its very best, right here in the heart of Swynnerton.

Paired with Vila Nova Vinho Verde Rosé, Portugal 🍷… soft, fruity and wonderfully easy-drinking, made from the local Espadeiro grape. Try a glass alongside this dish for the perfect pairing.

Our seafood is delivered fresh daily and there are still a few nights left to enjoy it.

🫶🏻 Walk-ins only…no need to book! (Parties of 8 or more, please do give us a call.)

🌿 5 reasons to stay at the Fitz Farmhouse…

1. You’re perfectly placed to explore Staffordshire has so much to offer and the Fitz Farmhouse puts you right in the heart of it. The world-famous Potteries are less than 20 minutes away…think Emma Bridgewater, World of Wedgwood, Middleport Pottery and the Gladstone Pottery Museum, home of the much-loved Channel 4 show The Great Pottery Throw Down. Trentham Estate’s award-winning gardens are under 10 minutes, and the lovely market towns of Stone and Eccleshall are right on your doorstep too.

2. Your room is a real treat! Our ten beautiful en-suite bedrooms are tucked away in the beautifully restored Fitz Farmhouse - a 200-year-old Grade II listed building with bags of character and charm. Each room comes with a Nespresso machine, Tea Pigs tea, a welcome port, Yorkshire crisps, Welsh Lavender toiletries and a local travel guide. Whether you’re in a room with a roll-top bath, a walk-in shower, or both - you’ll want for nothing!

3. Breakfast is something special. Every stay includes a full cooked breakfast at the Fitzherbert Arms, prepared fresh by our brilliant kitchen team using the finest local ingredients… with locally sourced sausages, free-range eggs and even honey from the Swynnerton Estate itself. The perfect way to set yourself up for a day of exploring!

4. An award-winning pub is literally on your doorstep. Just a stone’s throw across the village street is our Fitzherbert Arms… five times Best Pub in Staffordshire and one of the finest village pubs in the country. Log fires, local ales from within 35 miles, an extraordinary collection of ports, beautiful food cooked from scratch and a team who truly love what they do. No need to worry about the drive home!

5. It’s the perfect excuse to slow down. Whether you’re after a romantic break, a solo escape or simply a night’s rest, the Fitz Farmhouse delivers. Beautiful Staffordshire countryside on your doorstep, wellies to borrow for a walk, a crackling fire to come back to and no rush in the morning. Sometimes you just need a night (or two) away from it all.
