Acorn — Restaurant in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Ordered via the QR code on the menus with our phones. Sat here for over 30 minutes waiting for our starters, the manager (wearing keys around her neck and a cardigan falling off her shoulder) couldn't even find our table and had to get bar staff to assist her meaning our warm starter was cold upon arrival. We still had no drinks after finishing our starters. When our starters were placed Infront of us they were practically dumped with zero customer service, no asking if we wanted sauces or drinks. The lady who served us our starters has been daudling around the venue with a grumpy face giving off the impression she hates her job leaving an awful atmosphere for customers. Whilst waiting for our drinks we have seen multiple bar staff stood around doing nothing, why can't they serve us our drinks. Two tables around us also remained filthy our entire time sat here. At the 40 minute mark we had to approach the bar for our drinks, "sometimes we just don't know if they don't print out" but they knew about our starters... The lack of uniform is also appalling, floor staff wearing oversized hoodies, not exactly a welcoming image. £5.25 for a starter of wings and ribs, one rib and a few tiny wings. When clearing a table a family were sat at she dragged the baby seat the entire length of the dining area creating a horrible noise. 50 mins and then mains arrived.steak was raw, not blue, but raw. Mushrooms were raw, peas still frozen in places, dry chicken, raw gammon, raw spots in sausages. We complained about the raw gammon, she offered to replace it but did not appologise. A bar staff came over and apologized on managers behalf offering free drinks, it should have been the manager who aplogised. A new gammon arrived around 10-15 mins after the complaint. A few mouthfuls in and the taste was just not right, the eggs were extra slimey and something on my husband's plate smelled like rotten meat. We barely touched our food and feel like we have wasted a large amount of money and precious time together with this place, we shall not be returning and suggest other customers avoid the good as at this rate they will kill someone. There was dirt all over the grilled meats, not chard parts, but dirt, the grill clearly has not been cleaned in a long while.

Edit ** the free pint my husband has got is flat. Glasses are in serious need of renovation, possible reason for beer...

Not the best eating experience I've had. The pub it self has potential, but while standing at the bar you can't help but notice a strong smell of stale beer. The interior looks tired although that's not really the main issue here. I ordered the butter milk chicken goujons burger, and on the menu was the option to have it in a wrap instead of a bun. This seemed strange to me because surely it no longer should be in the burger part of the menu but in the sandwich and wrap section, but anyway I digress. Out came my chicken wrap, I should also mention the wrap comes with lettuce and tomato, and on the plate was slightly over cooked chip's and not really a wrap at all. All the elements were there, or so I thought, but the wrap and content were not wrapped at all. More like put in the middle of the wrap and kind of scrunched into a ball. Whoever was in the kitchen clearly lacks the ability of making a simple wrap. So I dissected the square so I could make an actual wrap, one i could pick up and eat without the content falling out. On dissection, I noticed the salad was these two tiny pieces of green sad looking leaf and no tomatoes. I have before and after photos of the wrap/scrunched up thing for your viewing. On the plus side the food it self was ok taste wise, and to be fair to the waitresses, when she came over to ask how the food was she did offer to change it when I raised my concerns but I had already eaten most of it and did not want anymore. The staff were friendly and I can't fault them in anyway and I didn't have to wait long considering it was busy. Just a shame a bit more care was not taken in presentation. Would I go back? Yes. Will I eat there again? No. Next time just a few beers and a...

I love this pub. It's real ale's are kept really well - not a huge selection but Pedigree bitter is always on and Hobgoblin Gold is usually on (my personal favourite) Guinness, Strongbow Cider, Stella Artois and Carling lagers are on draught too. They have a great outside area, with plenty of seating and covered seating too. They have a quite extensive menu with rump steaks, gammon steaks, curries, pies etc. I believe that they are now beginning to serve vegetarian & vegan dishes too. They serve some lovely puds too. With the Black forest ice-cream Sundae being my absolute favourite 😋. They can also cater for larger parties. On a bit of a sombre note, they are just half a mile up the road from Nuneaton crematorium, and they often cater for post-crematorium groups. They have a downstairs toilet for those of us who struggle with the stairs, designated disabled parking spaces and plenty of parking for the more able bodied. They welcome dogs inside and out and there are drinking bowls skattered around for our canine friends. The staff are the best part of this pub and always welcome you with a smile or whitty comment if you've become a regular. Basically, give...
