Five star food hygiene / excellent menu, and great well kept drinks , a lovely local pub welcoming to all at the edge of beautiful cannock chase .
Women belind the bar very miserable. Argument about our booking even though we had it on our phone. Starter was fine Main course was sent back as the pie was dried out , extra pastry around inside edge of pie to reduce filling which seemed like thickened gravy never found pieces of meat. Very hot chips perhaps microwaved. Onion rings very very greasy,lots of batter but very little onion. Did not bother with desert or coffee as I had enough disappointment for one night. I even ordered a second glass of wine which never arrived. All in all I would never recommend this pub not even for a drink just totally lacking in atmosphere,having dined I understand why. It's only saving grace was a pleasant waitress who was so overworked for her wage.
Went for a birthday party( about 25 and to be fair almost everyone else said food was good) and 3 of us had “slow roasted” barbecue beef brisket, it was awful, was like it had been quickly pan fried 2 mins before being served. This led it to being extremely tough to the point all 3 of us could not finish meals and did not taste nice at all.
With only one other table in use it was a very quiet evening in the pub. The food was very good and the service exceptional. A few more party goers would have been good, but it was the 27th, so most people having a rest after Christmas. Very nice
Went here today for my birthday. Never been before. Was fantastic. Great Sunday lunch, very accommodating to the family's varied dietary requirements. Waiter and waitress who served us were excellent, friendly & efficient!! Will be going back... Thanks guys, Ian.
Great pub serving a delicious Sunday roast, staff were lovely. Pub was busy on the Sunday afternoon we visited in late September as it well deserves to be! Recommended to us by one of the ground staff at the C&CC site we were staying in just down the road. Would definitely return, highly recommended.
