We went with a voucher two sunday lunches for £10 it was lamb or beef good meal with pudding included we have been back and enjoyed meal again
Went here on a groupon for 4 . Lovey gardens, pritty lights in the gardens and loads of seating. Welcomed by a very nice young lady .told us all out the voucher. We could have any starter or pudding up to £6.99 and any main up to £16.99. The food was hot and plentiful, lovey chips in chip pans .lol all in all well worth the money .on sundays at the moment their doing sunday lunch for £5.00 which we will try very soon.
Me and my partner had a groupon voucher for a starter and surf turf main.I ordered the pate to start and my partner the soup.His soup was tomato and rice.Rice?? In soup?? He thought he would try as didn 't like sound of any the other starters- it looked like sick, not much taste and awful consistency.I chose the pate as I 'm a huge fan of pate, but when it arrived it was a small bowl which had a hard thick yellow topping. I assumed it was butter but cut it off to get to the pate underneath and well, I wish I hadn 't! It was grey and hard. I tried it, and it tasted like stale raw pork! The two bits of bread I got with it was also stale! Later came to realise the yellow stuff on top looked like lard!! Me my partner thought it looked very old.Asked to swap to the mushrooms which they happily did, to get a small piece of (again stale) bread with about 8 tiny button mushrooms on top with a table spoon of sauce. Hmm. 2 bite starter?Main came and parter asked for medium rare steak and I asked for medium to well but more medium.Partners steak was okay- but half of it was fat! So as it was only a small 4oz steak to accompany the lobster it was about 3 small bites!Mine came out chargrilled and over cooked. Lobster arrived and was hardly any meat to get to and was given no tools to crack open claws etc. So we ended up picking at it and leaving it.I did say we were very disappointed with all the food and just had a snotty waitress half heartedly 'apologise ' (like she could care less)Really awful evening, ruined our night. Will be contacting groupon to get a refund as it really was appalling.
We had a great meal here this Sunday excellent Sunday Roast Dessert great value for money will definitely be coming back soon .
If it would be possible to give zero or minus points we definitely would! We have chosen to eat in this Restaurant because we have stayed in the Blue inn Redditch hotel which is the same house. As we drove over 6h from Europe to Redditch, we did not want to search long for a place to have dinner. As we entered the Restaurant we did not feel welcomed. The young man gave us the feeling of disturbing him. We sat down in the empty Restaurant and the waiter (same guy) could not even recommend any drinks. He handed us the winelist and for the other spirits and drinks we had to read a tiny paper which was hanging up high higbeside the bar. We ordered ales and cider. The menue was handed on a piece of paper. We were waiting 20 minutes for the guy to pick up our order. That 's a long time in an empty Restaurant!After picking up our orders, the waiter went directly in the kitchen. He did not come out for the next couple of minutes. It seemed like he needed to explain to the chef what he is supposed to cook as everybody from the Restaurant (him and two other waitresses) seemed to get very nerveous. The two ladies then followed him in the kitchen seeming to explain again what the chef needs to do! We felt pretty awkward as we were seeing this happening. We then received our food on time and it was on a very basic standard.After eating, the plates were picked up and there we were sitting in front of our empty glasses. Nobody asking if we would like more drinks. We literly have been ignored! It seemed like they avoid us to be served?! We absolutely did not understand this because we were just letting everything happen and we weren 't complaining at all (we didn 't feel about discussing after such a long day).We waited for 45mins until we could reach someone to ask fot the bill!! Yes the two only waiters were more occupied in entering the kitchen over and over and over (for longer times) than serving the guests. Maybe they 've had a good chat in there because apperently as there were meanwhile only three tables occupied and they 've had not muchto do.After paying (of course with leaving any tip out) we left the house with less money and less nerves.
