   So we’ve been here so many times over the years for Sunday lunch for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, family meals etc. It’s always been great. Foods always amazing service is always great never have I ever had anything bad to say. Sunday the 2nd Feb I had a table booked for myself and family for 4oclock which we was all really looking forward to as it was a really busy day. 3.30 I get a call saying no beef and lamb which was disappointing especially after having a table booked. Them I call at 3.55 to say I’m running late but while I’m in the phone can you update me on the food do you still have pork and chicken I was then told chicken yes we’ve just been out and bought more (which I thought to say that to a customer was so unprofessional) and not sure in pork as I’m about to take a big order. Obviously I didn’t bother driving all the way there to be told there was just chicken. That then left me and my family with no where to go for dinner as everywhere was booked. I just think if you have tables booked there should always be enough food it was so unprofessional and the person that called me didn’t sound too bothered one bit! Extremely disappointed!!

    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.
