   Visited today as a large group with some dietary requirements, the staff could not be any more accommodating and all food came out exactly how we needed it and was lovely. We had two large wheelchairs within the group and they had reserved us more than enough space at a busy time of the year. The decorations were lovely and everyone was very friendly, we will definitely be returning. Great value for money

   Stayed here for a night. The staff are very welcoming and made you feel welcome also. Good atmosphere about the place very comfortable. The food was excellent prepared fresh and was delicious. There is a good selection of beers too. A fabulous place to eat and drink.

   Asked to stay one Wednesday night in December in our motorhome and have a meal. The staff could not have been more helpful. On arrival they came out and gave us options on where to park. The Indian meal we ordered was one of the best we have ever had. Really tasty, served promptly and on a piping hot plate to keep it warm. We sat by a roaring log fire which was regularly topped up so was toasty warm. Brand new electric charging points have been installed, huge car park - would definitely come again

   Just off jcn 11 and seen a sign for this pub for months and keep meaning to try, so after a weekend trip away I brought the family to try thinking it was still a pub. Arrived around 5 o'clock ish and carpark was empty and so was this place, it turns out now it's a Indian restaurant. Nevermind we thought we'd give it ago. Nobody inside apart from a couple of dodgy looking people wondering in then going into the kitchen. (Not staff btw). Alarm bells should have rang when the waiter asked for my card to put in an envelope and put under the till as he reckons people have eaten and ran off, Stupidly enough I gave the card and watched him seal this envelope, (if my card gets cloned I know exactly where I'm going). Just to say this activity isn't the norm for a restaurant. Anyway about the food, what can I say apart from poor. Chips were dark brown and soggy like they've been put in cold oil then heated up. 2 small mixed grill for 20 quid each and not the best as fish pakora seemed undercooked and slimy, keema naan had brown meat rather than the standard red, I cant remember what my daughter called her dish ( maybe tarka darl) but it looked like mud and not appetising at all, my wife's korma wasn't right either. The bowls that the salad came in were all chipped too as can be seen on the pictures. The food here is expensive and very poor. Then after all this my bill was over £130 for 5 people, Wow. On this occasion my wife and daughter in law wanted to complain but I said " atleast we've tried it, sorry it's my fault for choosing here and I'm not complaining as this is why I do reviews". When I paid I was also asked if I'd tip???? Really?? Who does this and asks?? If it was nice, yes by all means but no way not here. This is a poor place and its been a while since I've been to somewhere like this and had to rate the place and food a 1. Recommend? Big no from me.

   This is a nice enough place. The food here was really excellent. I had the roast beef and it was truly fantastic. The drinks were great. Good selection of everything. Staff were polite and friendly. Decor is nice. We had a nice time overall. However the service was just so slow. We arrived at 13:30 and food didn't arrive till 15:00. After we finished eating they were totally ignored until they seemed to remember us around 16:00 when we ordered pudding and hot drinks. Also in the booking process they wanted £10 per head deposit to book. There were 10 of us so they wanted £100 to book. Crazy. But they never actually sent their bank details so we didn't actually veer pay. But they were so disorganised I don't think they noticed. We all pre-booked our food so the 90 minute delay felt even longer. We were told the cheesecake of the day was blackcurrant but two Toffee cheesecakes arrived. The "pigs in blankets" with the roast turned out to be one pig in a blanket, the custard was served cold with sticky Toffee pudding. So there were some faults. We mentioned that we were a little dissatisfied and they basically said tough. We pushed a little harder and 20 minutes later they gave us 10% off. Which was okay, but not really enough. In the end we left around 17:00.

   Went in for a Sunday dinner after a walk up the Wrekin. Loads of space in the car park, we sat outside with our dog in the sun and had a great Sunday dinner! The portions were huge and the price was really reasonable. Great service too- one of the bartender's brought us a dog water bowl without being asked which was really considerate! Warning- the hearty appetite option for the Sunday dinner is HUGE.
