I went to this pub with a friend who partner died and they decided to have an informal wake at this pub on 5th December.

At first impressions the venue is beautiful with character and the menu looked sophiscated. Bar staff accommodating and helpful. Good choice of wine

However, I was disappointed with my meal. I did not complain as my friend was going through a difficult time.

I had the veggie option which states in the menu a cauliflower cheese mash with peas, savoy carrots and potatoes with mash. I did not get any cauliflower cheese mash nor any peas. The gravy was forgotten Iwhich I did ask for and got) and the meal was not very hot. It was disappointing as the first impressions were excellent.

Also the toilets needs to be upgraded as they not very nice.

Wonderful christmas lunch party going on in the saracens today..Now you might think that its a bit early for that sort of thing but believe me,the age of the participants led me to believe that they are doing it now in case they dont make it to the main day!!

I jest!

At last, the Saracens has solved its problem of annoying customers.....they appear to have got rid of everyone!!!

Enjoyed a quiet pint in there recently and found myself talking to the fruit machine...well I figured it was better than talking to some character who was doing a pretty good job of trying to convince me he was a butcher from across the road somewhere.
When he shoved his hand up some rather straggly looking objects backside and started cooing at it,I thought ..aye aye.!!!..I dont like ventriloquists at the best of times!!! so I beat a hasty retreat,pushing past absolutely nobody as I headed for the safety of the stratford road

I will go back though...it was an experience

Agree with enjoysapint and bluenosebird. Full of chavey unfit parents with kids they cannot cope with running about the place, its like a licensed macdonalds.

The red haired ass manager is a div he has no clue. Coke snorters in the toilets they ban all the decent custom to be replaced by kids with fake id's. looks nice from outside but what a total boring dump. Are there any good pubs in Shirley/Solihull. And get a new manager with a clue and some balls.
