Our Lounge

Fancy getting married, a good read and then some of the best food and drink around? Then Verso Lounge could be just the place for you, as we’re right next door to the Stafford registry office and library — perfect! Our great range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus) is served in a welcoming, laid-back, light and airy space with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor terrace, just perfect for watching those newlyweds and librarians go by.

And here’s a fun fact – Stafford has been home to two Poet Laureates, Emily Rose Galvin and Carol Ann Duffy, so it’s only fitting that Verso means verse.

A person picks up a French fry from a plate with fried chicken, fries in a blue bowl, coleslaw, and dipping sauce. A drink with ice sits nearby on a colorful checkered table.
A plate with avocado toast topped with poached eggs, pickled onions, and herbs sits on a marble table, next to a fork and knife. Another plate with hash browns and beans is partially visible.
A yellow coffee cup with latte art on top sits on a red saucer with a spoon, placed on a wooden table; a green floral-patterned cushion is visible beside the table.
