The Broom Tavern - Alcester

Had a really nice Sunday dinner in the tavern for years not here! bonus with which it dog friendly, saffy enjoyed, her ferkel with all that made a fuss of her! eating was beautiful and yorkshire puddings were huge! definitely soon to visit again!

As we were a large group we were given a room to ourselves which was a nice touch. Food order all came out at the same time and drinks were constantly supplied. Really enjoyed everything we had and would definitely go again.

The food is always amazing and very good quality. Lovely Caprese salad ,tasty asparagus and Fish&Chips is top quality Service is good but a little bit too slow.

This gastropub dates back to the days of William Shakespeare but, having laid empty for some time, it was reopened by two chefs in 2012. Stopped by for drinks on a Saturday afternoon in February. Enjoyed the well-kept HPA but would have preferred a more traditional bar setting as all of the tables were setup for diners. There is a lovely outdoor area and also a marquee, and this clearly gives drinkers more options when the weather is warmer. Returned later that day as part of a much larger group for dinner. Despite the entire place being full of diners, service was efficient, attentive and very friendly. I was slightly disappointed with my main, the pesto tagliatelle carbonara, because the ‘added pulled chicken’ didn’t resemble its name and appeared to replace most of the vegetarian ingredients; overall a little bland and too stodgy. I did enjoy my mussels starter and everyone else was complimentary about their choices. Overall it was a very good experience but not quite worthy of a 5-star review.

Nice old pub but could do better. We had to book ahead and pre-order because we were a party of 15. Very attentive staff but they didn't seem to focus on the task in hand. They seemed to get sidetracked. We had to ask three times for a member of staff to fetch a high chair. I had the Tavern Steak Burger with triple cooked chips. It arrived stone cold and the mince was over worked. It looked like a smash burger which someone had run over in a car. The chips were also tough and tasted like cold chip shop chips an hour after buying them. Needless to say it was inedible. I sent it back a swapped it for the Chicken burger which much better and this time the chips were hot and tasty. It's a shame the food and the staff weren't up to scratch. It seems they couldn't cope with the big party of people. Definitely not worth the money we paid. I've had better food for less.
