| Quite busy when I visited with painfully slow service. If you don't mind waiting 10+ minutes to buy an expensive pint it's worth a visit. I wonder why they don't employ more bar staff? ArthurLyman - 18 Dec 2007 11:54 |
| Went there for Sunday lunch with a couple of friends two weeks ago, and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. £9.00 for 3 small slices of beef, a handful of sliced potatoes and a few overcooked carrots!! You get more in a Birds Eye microwave meal. It didn't taste too bad though which is something, however, the girl who served us was most unpleasant - snapping in a very sarcastic way at an 80 year old man who is just recovering from cancer is just not on. OK, she wasn't to know he had been so ill, but you just shouldn't treat ANY customer like that. We decided to stay for dessert and all chose the nicely named fresh fruit and cream meringue explosion. The fresh fruit was two slices of a strawberry and 4 - yes, FOUR blueberries. A plate full of cream and a bit of meringue thrown in. Yes, Disappointing doesn't even begin to cover this place!!

| Quite busy and loud - full of people shouting at each other when they could have sat down and talked... Smartened up a bit since my last visit a few years ago, but nothing special. rpadam - 1 Jun 2007 23:58 |
| Only reason I went in here was due to its proximity to Olympia. I see that it's a Wolverhampton & Dudley (Marstons) pub so they have the usual W&D rather boring beers (but of course not at Midlands prices!). Okay but I wouldn't want to stay on for long. BillyD - 12 Apr 2007 16:46 |
| In reality a typical example of the 'boozer near a train station,' genre. It does however have pretentions to grandeur that it can't quite live up to. Ordinary in the extreeme. There are plenty of better places locally (C & S, Radnor,) Oh in the background of the photo you can see the office where I wasted 10 years of my life! anonymous - 24 Nov 2006 15:49 |
