First time of trying the refurbished Fiery Holes (considering the reputation it held previously) and I'm glad to say that we were moderately happy with the outcome. From the outside the place could do with a little TLC but there was certainly more of an improvement with the décor on the inside. Upon ordering our meal at the bar which included starters, mains and sides we were disappointed to find all the food was bought to our table at the same time instead of the starters being bought out first which meant we had to eat our starters whilst our mains and sides started to go cold (luckily the food came out in piping hot copper dishes). Presentation however was excellent and tasted very good. We were also a little bemused why the sound on the television above us was turned on and up loud for football of all things so our conversations during the evening was more of a shouting match. Overall food was yummy (even though all bought out together), we would go again but not when football or any major events were on...
Read moreFancied a midday curry only to find out food service doesn't start until 2pm. Being just 30mins wait, we were happy to sit with a drink. Unfortunately started with a small fly in my sins coke glass. It happens I know so we weren't that fussed abd they were happy to replace it. However the food came out just after 2.15pm. we were disappointed how our naan breads and kulchas had very cold parts as if they were reheated either after being defrosted or from the fridge. Being a cook myself, i can assure you the kulchas were not cooked from scratch. Same with out saag paneer which we had to ask for it to he heated up. Overall, the taste isn't for the Indian pallets and was not impressed with the quality if food. I give credit where credits due so will say customer service was pleasant. I have eaten here a few times, a few years back, but unfortunately just the food quality itself has put a damper on our experience and wouldn't even give it 1 star. But the 1 star is for the Garlic chilli paneer...
Read moreWe thought we would try this place out as we like a good mixed grill and have been to plenty of these types of pubs before for mixed grills. First off the pub was grimy looking. The doors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in ages. Grimy/sticky floors and menus and tables. We tried to look pass this and ordered our food. The mixed grill was very average and on the small side being a medium compared to mother medium sized mixed grills at other places. The lamb sheekh kebabs were very uniform looking and maybe could have been frozen. The chicken was just okay. I don't think I'd be travelling here again and would probably stick to the Red Lion (west Bromwich) or Jack's Bar (Wolverhampton) or Hen and...
