Bar pub in Tamworth

“Never thought to eat here but reviews were favourable so had a quick stop for dinner. It definitely had a drinkers vibe but the lounge was quieter. Anyway, seeing the price of the food (pie / chilli @£5.95!!) we did wonder what the quality would be like. I ordered boozy pie. The puff lid, if I'm being picky, could've been done crisper, but there was tons of tender meat, and the chips and the veg were cooked to perfection. Partners chilli was reported to be very tasty too. Enjoyed our meals. Six quid!!!!!!!”

“A lovely homely friendly pub .Food freshly cooked and hot . Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Prices amazing. Would recommend to everyone.”

“Good local pub, cosy, good value. Very good restaurant above - El Toro. Steak based with a few other options. Definitely worth a drive as there are very few good restaurant options nearby. Large portions yet still good quality. Meat comes from the local butcher. Excellent wine. Not quite Michelin star but better than any other local restaurant we've been to.”

“Love our local pub Food so much better since having new chef Brad Sunday lunch especially Ruth always friendly and accommodating Love our jan also always smiling and happy to see you So much better with the new owner mark Pub has come on leaps and bounds So much better now had refurbishment And painted out side New patio area Needed it for a long time”

“Book directly and have breakfast included at a lower overall price. Free secure car parking right in the centre of town and you cannot go wrong. The people are lovely and the whole establishment is sparkling clean. Sometimes the reward of taking a risk and supporting the local independent pays off high dividends. I will stay here again for certain.”

“Room was pristine, bumped into the housekeeper as I was checking in and she made sure I had everything I needed. The hotel is attached to a charming country style pub with amazing food and fantastic staff. The location is on a busy road but also a 5 minute bus from the town centre which was a beautiful place to spend the day and has lots of local amenities. I would recommend this hotel to a person travelling alone or as a couple for a peaceful retreat as the location has fantastic transport links all over the country.”

“Called ahead first to ask about bringing three of my service users (one learning disabilities and two complex needs). Couldn't be more helpful on the phone. Even suggested we could have a table in the quietest area. Once there, the staff were amazing. Extremely helpful, courteous and couldn't do enough to make sure our people were comfortable and stress free. Took the guys names so the bills didn't get confused and allowed us as much time as we needed at the table. Mitchell and Aaron, you were both brilliant and a credit to the pub. Thankyou both and we will definitely be back soon”

“Came across this hidden gem whilst in Tamworth the other day. The music and decor was so cool and individual. The manager was very welcoming and took the time to have a chat and recommend some of there delicious cocktails. The music really set a very cool atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Will be returning.”

“Did not eat but great service and a good coffee or a nice pint.”

“Good food at incredible prices; not small portions either. Two lunch time meals for £13.49! Monday to friday. That's right two! Public house - typical local - on one side of the horse shoe bar and eating area around the other side : best of both worlds. Good size beer garden.”

“A good pub with really friendly staff (& locals) who happily accommodated a big group of us at short notice. Also show Sky sports.”

“Love this pub went here with my cousin before he died some nice memories going to pubs on the canals with him beer was nice didn't try food not sure if they do food I could be wrong if they do I'm sure the food would be delicious lovely lovely women behind the bar to friendly nice to talk to you have to check this place out”

“Great pub fab music very welcoming. Also if you don't have any issues with people and their sexuality and if they wear Drag. Then this is the place for you, definitely bringing my daughter here to celebrate her 18th ❤️ Any questions about food or wheelchair access or kid or pet friendly please feel free to ring up and ask as I was too drunk to notice and I didn't eat here well not yet that will be another review for another day. ❤️”

“Staff are friendly and the pub was refurbished in the last 12 months”

“Emilia our server was very good, engaging and friendly. Food was reasonable, it was quite quiet which was a surprise but 2 weeks before Christmas maybe just that people had been out for lunch instead. The sharing dessert was very good.”

“Booked this place on a whim and wasnt even planning on eating but the smell was too nice to resist. Ordered a mixed grill and I have to day it's one of the best I've ever had. Staff were super friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was really warm and welcoming. I cant wait to go again.”

“Great pub with very good food. Had a lovely meal here with the other half. Had the lamb rump very tasty. Hubby had the chicken and bacon pie. Washed down with a magners and a coke for him. Very reasonable priced too. Will be back again. Went back with family for the excellent food.”

“Came here for a pool match (pub league) everyone was really friendly, the food served by the pub was very nice and service was quick. Not too expensive either”

“Visited the pub yesterday after we visited the area for some local walks. Had a good pint to finish off our afternoon. Beautiful beer garden on a summer's day. Welcoming and friendly staff.”

“Namco Funscape Tamworth: A Sensory Odyssey ​Six out of Five Stars (Must be Experienced) ​Forget your sensible, minimalist leisure activities. If you are looking for tranquility, low-key lighting, or subtle décor, please turn your sensible saloon car around right now. Namco Funscape Tamworth is not here for subtlety; it is here for maximalist, unadulterated, glorious FUN. It’s less a venue, and more a vibrant, electric explosion of pure entertainment energy. ​From the moment you step onto the carpet—a geometric marvel that perfectly camouflages three decades of soft drink spills and ambition—you are enveloped in a sensory blitzkrieg. The air is thick with the scent of popcorn, industrial-strength floor cleaner, and a hint of ozone from the overworked prize claw machines. The soundscape is a triumphant symphony of 8-bit chip tunes, the crash of falling pins, and the collective, desperate whirring of air hockey tables. This is not noise, my friends; this is authentic atmosphere. ​The Sanctity of the Arcade ​The arcade section is a museum of coin-operated history, yet somehow every cabinet is still demanding your attention, flashing with a reckless disregard for epilepsy warnings. You will spend hours, and approximately the cost of a small, pre-owned vehicle, pursuing the pointless, glorious accumulation of paper tickets. This is a pilgrimage, a quest for the ultimate reward: a plastic spider ring, a sticky hand, or a pencil topper that costs roughly 5,000 times its retail value in sunk credit. We salute this irrational economic system. It is perfection. ​The Lanes of Legend ​The bowling area is immaculate, in the most Tamworth way possible. The hired shoes—truly the peak of mid-20th-century athletic footwear—are practically a fashion statement, hinting at the athletic prowess you're about to unleash. The lanes themselves are fast, true, and possibly possess a slight, undetectable tilt designed purely to challenge the physics of your spin. A perfect strike here feels less like a sport and more like winning a highly personalized battle against gravity and fluorescent lighting. ​Necessary Fuel ​The food is exactly what you want: unapologetic, perfectly greasy, and delivered with the speed of a well-oiled machine. It’s fuel for the next round of air hockey, designed to maximize your sugar rush and maintain peak concentration for the highly complex task of guiding a plastic ball through a clown’s mouth. It is the gastronomic equivalent of the entire venue: loud, fun, and utterly essential. ​Go to Namco Funscape. Embrace the glorious chaos. Allow the neon lights to heal your soul. If you leave without a massive novelty slushie and at least one sticky wristband, you haven't lived.”
