Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the lasagne, with the gammon and the fish and chips close behind, and they call the food delicious, hot and tasty. Several mention that it arrived quickly, even when the pub was very busy with sunshine crowds. Staff draw praise in nearly every review, described as friendly, helpful and attentive, with reviewers thanking the bar team and the chefs, and one describing a server carrying a lasagne while doing a handstand. The atmosphere is called great and likened to a local, and one reviewer says the bar staff knew the beers and ales well. Value comes up repeatedly, with the cheaper midweek set menu singled out, and walkers finishing a Lickey Hills route describe stopping in for a meal and a catch up. One reviewer says the dog biscuits by the door were a highlight for their Husky, and they chose the fish and chips on the bar staff's recommendation. No reviewer raises a complaint. One birthday party praised the food ordered through the app, which arrived hot and quickly.
