I'm a believer in giving honest opinions and leaving reviews even if its negative feedback to make things better....... Good and bad........... The family who have just taken over are lovely always chatty.... Helpful and quick service they also seem family entoriated. We have been a few times for drinks since they have taken over the establishment from the old owners...... We have never been regular customers so can't really compare.
So far over the last few weeks, drinks we had initially compared to now haven't got any better. Soft drinks are still warm, flat and decanted from ltr bottles purchased from a local supermarket. Limited ice despite the drinks being so warm isn't appealing. - tip if you are going to serve in this way at least make sure it's ice cold and fresh. Glasses are often not cleaned enough and have reminace of the last person's use.
Everyone is entitled to their teething problems so we give them benifit of the doubt and are happy to return.
They have just started the food and are a few weeks in I believe, so thought we would also give the Sunday lunch a try. In Pelsall village, decent food is far and few between unless you want to drive for miles elsewhere, cook for yourself or settle for microwaved frozen food. . Today's visit has left me and my family Very disappointed. I'm not going to slate everything about it as its clear the new owners want to give it their best and in current times is going to be difficult enough taking over a pub in a new area and are obviously keen to make an impression. It's child and dog friendly ........ however, the food we have had today was well below par. If you are going to start and serve food/ drinks and offer a service then at least make it so that customers want to return even if it's your first attempt there's no excuse for poor food when you have such low servings. I got the impression that it was only a means to an end.......... I'm under the impression that they only advertised for 30 servings of Sunday lunch so I have no idea why it was so poor... Maybe A way of making an extra few £ when custom is low. £10.95 for a Sunday lunch that consisted of overcooked beef.... Potatoes that our party had a debate of if they were tinned or not... Frozen Yorkshire puddings..... Bisto gravy... Carrots were nice and peas not overcooked Childs pizza was a microwaved frozen one. No options of starters or desserts as they hadn't prepared and waiting for delivery from bookers along with No table service which I can't accept due to the low cost of meal.
New owners deserve a chance use it or loose it... I personally would of taken the pub over, closed it. Redecorated, and put my own spin on it. Shame as a good food pub in Pelsall is lacking. ...
