Farthings — Restaurant in Metropolitan Borough of Solihull

14 of us decided to pop to the Farthings to grab some dinner. Prices are reasonable, HOWEVER

The card machine was not working. No mixed grill as they had ran out of sausages and refused to substitute it for an egg as they had food stock.When I then asked for couscous I was informed they had ran out of that also. Paying with cash then then had no change!

---All of this could of been forgiven, however the staff were extremely RUDE! We waited to order the food, and it was our turn next, to then be told by the lady 'Wait one minute' - as she went to serve someone else (who had arrived at the bar after us) She then came back and said ' What do you want?'

I already wanted to leave by this point, however we were a party of 14! I then decided to order the chicken and bacon salad. The description said it came 'dressed'. The team leader brought it out, I had asked for the dressing as it was not on the salad. He came back 5 minutes later saying they didn't have any. I then took my plate up to the bar and told another lady, that I do not want the meal unless it came with dressing. She took it round the back. She came out a few minutes later with a small pot of lime/chilli dressing. I poured it on my salad. It was no more than a teaspoon! Chicken was dry! I could not eat it.

No one came to check on food! The pub was not busy!

I WOULD NOT recommend this place at all if you are looking to go for an enjoyable meal, calm and relaxing meal!

I left hungry as I refused to give this place any more...

Lovely pub with nice atmosphere bar staff all amazing and give good vibes when serving this makes good impression and has made us come back to this pub well done to the staff and thank you the only problem and why I didn't give 5 stars for food was that when 2 of a 9 party had BBQ chicken cheese and bacon it only comes with a drizzle of BBQ on top every pub we've been to it usually comes covered in BBQ sauce and that's why we had this but as chicken bacon cheese was cooked perfect it was very dry due to the drizzle of BBQ sauce so we wouldn't recommend this we also asked for extra BBQ sauce but the chef refused as he had done to speck so this was very disappointing as we would of paid for extra sauce but I understand and just won't have it again perhaps mention on your menu drizzle of BBQ sauce as I would of definitely not had this love the fish and chips so I probably stick with that next time thanks for taking time reading...

We visited The Farthings on a Monday evening, quiz night. The place was full of atmosphere and people were excitedly waiting for the quiz to begin. There was a good crowd who were all watching sports on the many televisions strategically placed around the pub. The staff were a delight, Jess who is the deputy manager was attentive and chatty with the customers, making everyone feel at home. The two bar staff, Sarah and Holly were very quick and efficient when customers approached the bar always ready with an empty glass, hovering over the real ale and lager taps. Jess who was our quiz master worked tirelessly and you can tell she takes the quiz very seriously. All in all a great night and...
