    Sadly I sat next to four people who screamed at each other to be heard in a small lounge area and their toddler did the same, if it wasn’t for them the experience would have been so much better. It’s a small space so your pretty much on top of each other, the staff were busy but still found the time to check in and serve well, the place needs decorating and they’d thrown some Halloween stuff around the place, it’s nice to have our historical buildings still in tact so that is wonderful but it definitely needs a tidy up, food was plentiful and I did enjoy it, beef and lamb cooked to perfection. I would go again but did worry about the parking outside, Bham town centre is always a worry.

    We booked and arrived for lunch at the pub on Saturday. Unfortunately we were the only diners, so moved to the bar area which was not ideal as it was rowdy. The food was all excellent and great value for money. So we had a great meal, but left straight after. Maybe go on Sundays to dine, when its busier.

    The beef was wonderful - good quality and quantity. However everything was just warm and some vegetables were too hard . If vegetables were cooked consistently - the roast potatoes appeared to have been sitting and overcooking for a long time I would have given overall 4s or 5s.
