| Ate here last night and waited about an hour for the starters to come out. When I queried this I was told by the waitress that because the mushrooms that I had ordered were to be made fresh, the chef had decided to put them aside and send other dishes out first. I actually didn't believe what I was hearing so asked her to repeat it. I got the same reply. When I went to pay and was asked if everything was ok, I replied no. I explained that I thought their service was crap and told the woman of the waitress's explanation. Then, the Manager (at least I think he was) jumped in and said 'well I did squeeze you in on a table when we were full and you should have told the waitress'. I stated that I did tell the waitress TWICE and this man started to ARGUE with me!!!!!! Talk about crap customer service as well as crap service!!! I will never go to this pub again and will not recommend it to anyone, in fact I will recommend people avoid it like the plague!!! LMWR - 1 Oct 2011 08:11 |
| Very friendly welcoming environment, food was good quality local produce and very reasonably priced. Good choice of wine and beer. JLWilliams - 21 Sep 2009 11:57 |
| Foody pub with at least 3 real ales on. Adnams Bitter, Wye Valley Butty Bach and Old Speckled Hen. Beers were at best average. LickeyEndBooze - 9 Apr 2008 22:46 |
| Small but welcoming pub in the Worcestershire countryside just outside Redditch. The staff are very courteous, which is always a plus. The majority of the menu is typical pub fare, not much vegetarian choice unfortunately, but the specials board provides a huge range of extra choice with a particular emphasis on fish dishes. Prices are reasonable, exterior is pretty and interior small but pleasant. Good experience overall. anonymous - 19 Aug 2005 00:27 |
