Hixon is a large, pleasant village close to Stafford – just off the A51. The Bank House dates back over 400 years, we added a new room in 2006 during which we had a number of specialists inspect the pub. The story of the Bank House is in itself the story of the English country pub, it was originally a farm. Pubs with bar counters emerged in the early 1800’s before then pubs were generally some ones front room and beer was brought up from the cellar in jugs. The Bank House operated as this type of ‘parlour pub’, the beer was brewed on the premises whilst the rest still operated as a farm. In time it became established as the village pub and the farm was sold on. The building is ancient; old oak beams and low ceilings betray its origins as a farm house. It hasn’t changed much in 400 years, the addition of bar counters and our new room being the main changes. These changes allowed us to fit a modern kitchen so we can now offer great pub food as well as well as great real ale.
One of the prettiest pubs in the estate, you will find 2 open fires, a public (and cosy) bar to the left, where on most days you will find a taker for a pub game, and the lounge bar to the right – both bars with open fires. Chris and Sue have been at the Bank house for a good few years, Chris looks after the cellar with great passion matched by Sue in the kitchen, whilst both also seem to be ‘on the bar’ – how do they do that?. Sue believes in keeping food simple, honest and great quality. She is fastidious in using quality ingredients and seasonal produce. For busy slots it is well worth a call and reserving a table which they will do happily.
Lovely in the summer, plenty of garden benches to the front, and plenty of space to park in the car park bang opposite.
