The Old Bush Revived — Restaurant in Sandwell

I was pleased to see when backcountry ales took on this pillar of the community, the pub has been there for decades and I thought this is just what it needs keep going. I arrived at lunch time and there was a private function going on and I appeared to be the only single customer in there, which felt very odd and weird so I just ordered a half. The young lady that served me was prompt, polite and smiling, soon as she served me she went straight back round the other side of the bar??? Another woman was stood in the hatch on her phone, I can only assume it was the manager, she never came up from here phone, when a customer came to the bar she called the young lady to serve them???? The poor girl was being pulled between 2 bars with a full pub for a private function. The pub looks great, the ale wasn't to the usual standards of a blackcountry Inn, it was green and warmer than it should be. Sorry to say my first experience of the new Bush wasn't great, I hope that on my next visit it will be what a black country Inn is, warm, inviting, well looked after ales served as they are ment to be. I'm looking forward to it,...

The drinks were nice although it was a little disappointing that there was no ice or lemon/lime to go in my Coke, but it was cold and refreshing. It's on a very busy road, half way up a very steep hill and parking is quite difficult which is a shame, but we do still intend to go there one evening and have a meal. I will edit then to say what the meal was like. I would certainly go there again for a...

Usualy love this little pub lots of visits throughout the year with excellent food but ime afraid the xmas eve meal was not of their excellent standard it seemed to have been rushed and just slapped on the plate with no thought atall my family have put their reviews on the pubs facebook page and ime afraid the owner has been totaly rude about said reviews and our family which we find upsetting when they were only stating their opinion if you have a review page you should be able to take the good with the bad for this reason we shall not use this establishment again purly because of the owners inability to take poor reviews as well as good as i have given it good...
