Me and my partner were travelling back from Whitchurch (im from Brum) when we decided to stop off at this pub. It looked quiet but that was perfect for us. When we entered the pub it was very nice and it had a cosy feel to it. The girl behind the bar greeted us and said we could sit anywhere. We was offered a set menu plus their daily menu. The food choice was not huge but it looked good. My partner had the chicken, ham and leek pie. I had the steak and ale pie. We ordered drinks and waited for our meals. Service was on point and I actually felt really chilled. The food came and it was absolutely fantastic, fresh food… fresh cooked chips with fresh veg. The pies were phenomenal and tasty. We stayed for another drink, why not. We didn’t venture into the dessert menu as we was both stuffed lol.

The response he got was, " At least you don't have to go home & wash/wipe up!" Needless to say, we will not have the problem again, as we won't...
Read moreFirst of all the staff could not pour a proper Guinness. You do not overfill the pint and then scrape the head off the top leaving the outside of the glass wet and sticky with beer. The food was average but the prices were ridiculous. A starter which was almost 5 pounds consisted of one potato cut in half and topped with cheese and bacon. I would have expected at least twice the portion size given the price. The T bone steak was great and there was a lot, but the hunters chicken was poor. For £15 you would expect more than a simple stew of chicken, bacon, cheese and BBQ sauce, It was quite sickly. Overall a very filling meal, but not worth the ridiculous prices. Go to Weatherspoons instead, you will get the same for a...
