The Little Owl, Solihull

Went to this pub after Ski Show at NEC, was very busy and there did not appear to be enough staff to cope. The beer was decidedly average most of the food was not even this good, but would have been better if it had all been hot - but maybe it cooled down while we were waiting for the cutlery to arrive . Some of the staff were downright rude - we thought we'd stepped into Fawlty Towers by mistake. When enquiring to the where abouts of our drinks order, after waiting for over 20 minutes, the waitress accussed us of "having a moan". The tray of sauces finally arrived as most of us were finishing our meal and when we tried to order more drinks, from the waitress that bought the sauces, we were told she was serving somebody else and she promptly left to clear some plates from a nearby table with mumbling of "your not the only table wanting to be served". So we left, having finally aquired a bill at third time of asking, and went to the hotel next door for the next round, where we met another group who had had a very similar experience in the Little Owl and had ajourned to the sanity of the hotel bar - even though it didn't have any real ale.
