• "Fish was not cooked through, it was also very oily."

Cons:

• "However, the service was quite honestly terrible."
• "The service was a bit lacking, my friends were put on a different table to us after we had made a reservation."

• "More importantly the service and staff we're below standard, very slow and unattentive."

Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

• "This place is absolutely fantastic, the food is amazing, the staff are wonderful, the pub is stunning inside and out."

• "Beautiful pub with a fascinating history."
• "The decor both inside and out was so inviting."
• "A lovely country Pub, not far out from Solihull."

Cons:

• "The only thing off was the slight smell coming from the gents lou!"
• "To be honest, this place is nicely decorated etc etc however when visiting for their happy hour two for one pizza we were sufficiently disappointed."
• "Utterly bland pub, poor layout and atmosphere... Has an identity crisis between a Beefeater Inn and a Weatherspoons. Nice location and outdoor area though."
• "Could do with some TLC outside pub, ground around tables need sweeping and tables & chairs need rubbing down, repainting, linseed oil etc."
• "I've downgraded my review owing to the constant appalling background music."
• "Too pricey and not enough food selection. There were no pasta meals or many fish dishes."
• "Maybe some WD40 on the ladies toilet door though."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Total cost of meal and drinks under £60 for 3 of us."
• "Although the food was not cheap (£10-15) a main it was more than worth the price."
• "Pricing was high end but totally worth the money."
• "A little gem, that I almost don't want everyone to know about. Excellent food for crazy value."

Cons:

• "Our sandwiches were dry and definitely not worth £8.75 each!!"
• "Don't have the cheeseboard a few biscuits small amount of cheddar, stilton average and revolting brie. This was £10. Rip off in my opinion."
• "The food was extremely average and for what it was, overpriced."
• "At over £17 it was a bit of a let down."
• "Well it's very pretty and ambient but the food is overpriced."
