| The Vine advertises itself as a restaurant with prices to match. If I want pub food I could quite easily have a pleasant meal at the White Harte in the village. At half the cost... summerinthepark - 28 Jul 2010 22:21 |
| Four of us went to the Vine on the evening of Sat.24th July, 2010. We were seated for nearly 15 minutes before the menus came. The starters came reasonably quick with pleasing comments on the soup. Once finished we had to wait a while before the table was cleared and a good while before the orders were taken for the main course. A pretty long wait before the main courses arrived. My wife asked for new potatoes instead of chips. It came with chips. The fish and chips were bland, the steak was overdone and my haddock was too oily. The chicken was on the warm side.The vegetables were ok. Another long wait before the table was cleared and ten minutes before the sweet menu was presented. I had to catch the eye of the waitress several times who was busy chatting with a female member of the bar staff. A good 20 minutes before the sweets came. We asked for the custard to be separate for the bread and butter pudding. It came on the pudding. The cheesecake was ok. The pint of Enville was one of the worst I have ever had. The Kinver Edge was a vast improvement. We had lots of smiles and attention when it came to paying the bill. I must add that when the waitresses came to the table they were friendly but inbetween they were chatting a lot between themselves. I can"t understand why the food took so long as the place was only half full. The decor is reminisent of a drab 1970"s steak house and needs a proper refurb. All in all a disapointing evening. We shall not return until the "new management team" get it sorted. Basically it was glorified pub food. summerinthepark - 27 Jul 2010 23:34 |
| Accomodating friendly Asian lady staffing the bar when I visited last week 20/05/09. Enville was top class. Toilets of the pub tidiest I have seen in a pub in many a long year. Pub has just won 'best pub in Staffs award' and rightly so. Mine hostess came into the garden to find out if I needed anything more. Spent time chatting tho' she was busy and put me at my ease. Canal running at the side of a garden big enought for a cricket match. Clean tidy a pleasure to drink in. Well done! tcvarlh - 30 May 2009 16:03 |
| Big pub, with large car-park and grounds over-looking the canal. We visited on a hot day and the grounds were packed, sadly hosting some Foster drinking kids that decided their car stereo music should be a gift for us all to enjoy, or not as the case may be. The pub had at least 6 real ales, though sadly no MILD. I tried a few half pints of Enville Ale, Kinver Edge and May Bug, as well as Butty Bach and all were fine, especially the Kinver Edge. Cant really say much about the interior as i didnt see anything of it, apart from when i visited the bar. The bar staff were all friendly and without doubt, i would visit again Archivist - 24 May 2009 18:45 |
