A family run pub at the heart of a picturesque village not far from Wolverhampton and Telford…read more The Seven Stars really is a gem of a place. They serve wonderfully prepared food in a restaurant/pub that has a friendly atmosphere, good quality real cask ales and a high regard to customer service. If you've been after the return of the great British pub with well cooked food - this is the place for you. All of the meat comes from local butcher, Martin Thomas of Pattingham and is cooked to perfection on site by the chef and owner, Caroline Haddon. The wines offer a nice selection of both new and old world and are easy to drink and good value for money. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a place to eat nearby Hollybush Garden Centre and we find this pub…read more It`s in the middle of nowhere and I was pretty happy with the choice because their portions are huge. Man, you have to be VERY hungry to eat in this place. Seriously. And of course, it's a good value for the money. I got a nice rump steak for about £6-something )I don`t remember the price because it was a treating and I didn`t pay for anything. Nice!) and the chip portion was generous. Food tastes really nice there. It`s definitely homemade and the service is really nice. Actually, fair play to the girl who was serving us. She seems to be barmaid, manager and anything else in that place. She keeps the pub running well. I would say. Multi task people: my favourite ones! This pub has also a different meal for the day in a cost of over 6 pounds. Really nice options. And the cakes seemed to be pretty fresh! I wish i had more room for some pudding. If you can find the place, it really is a nice thing to stop by. It`s in the junction 11 of M6, by the way. There is a huge playground and kids won't be bored.

This is a perfectly reasonable signal put of a local pub, where you can properly ignore your phone,…read moreand have a catch up with your mates. Divided into different beam filled rooms, it keeps a cosy feel without being tiny. There is a carpark out the back, but it can be a little nerve racking to navigate in a larger car, there's a small slab bed seating area outside too. There is a pretty well stocked bar, mainly your standard pub fare, but with a really good range of ales, I will say though, no matter how deep the queue at the bar, the staff are entirely friendly, but I've never been served quickly here at all! Definitely quite relaxed.

Very nice pub also known as Berts Bistro, friendly staff,…read morefood is top notch here all fresh food none of that pre cooked frozen stuff you get microwaved in pubs these days the 2 for 1's and 2 for £10 and so on..they all serve the same now! If you like your steak you will love it here they do a whopping 48oz steak for the hungry guys! Also a huge mixed grill, a massive stack burger called "the Beast" and plenty more other stuff to choose from, and home made chips too! The restaurant part of the pub is not too big so on Friday and Saturday it's booking or you will be disappointed but during the week it's quiet and you can just drop in. Prices are reasonable and servings are a nice size, drinks prices are also quite reasonable. I've eaten here a few times now and it's become my new first choice for meals out!

Strange place this. Was an M&B pub years ago so we did not use too often as we drank Bank's, plus…read moreit always seemed a bit more pricey than others around. Anyway, I have been in recently and it still looks ok, small choice of ale, still a bit cliquey. Massive car park. Ok to visit if on way somewhere and you happen to be passing.

We were on a road trip to Wales, charging up the M6 and were in need of lunch. On driving through…read moretown, we saw something about being the best in Staffordshire or something - so we turned around and gave it a shot. We sat in the pub area around 1pm on a weekday and it was buzzing. The restaurant was casual, English pub, but had a very nice, upscale feel to it. They have quite a few beers on tap and since we were there in winter, they had mulled wine. We got the chicken club, fish and chips, and 2 people got the pan seared sea bass. Everyone was very happy with their lunch. I ate the club and was very happy with my meal. The service was great as well. If you are flying through on the M6 and are looking for a break to grab a good meal, stop in at the Littleton Arms.

This place is a firm hometown family favourite…read more I mean, we're on a first name bays with a lot of the staff. It's hard to review a single time, as I've been here so often I forget to check in. The bar is well stocked, isually a good range of beers and ales on tap, including one of my summer favourites, frulii. They even have prosecco on tap, good gin list, which is always a fab selling point for me, and a good range of wines, spirits, and a dinky but varied cocktail list. Pick and mix of sweet, nuts, wasabi peas etc behind the bar, and excellent tasty bar bites, cake, fudge, allsorts on the bar, which always has arrangements of fresh flowers from across the road. I am yet to have a disappointing visit here. Honestly, nights out, Chrostmas eve drinks, meals as a family, as a couple, as huge tables of extended family, the food is always great, fresh local produce, hearty meals, great range of meat, game, veggies, your lot. I would be surprised if someone couldn't find something they liked on the menu. Hot drinks are great too, afternoon tea is good value and super tasty, and it's changed hands a couple of times in the 18 years I grew up there, and the prices have risen ofc, but it's always been pretty excellent, with great rooms and breakfast to boot too. Would happily recommend to anyone, and worth travelling to if you like your good pub grub!

This place has been REVAMPED AND REOPENED this year, and become immediately popular…read more Brunning and Price have bought out the venue, the are the owners of one of my local favourites, the Fox at Chetwynd Aston, and The Woodbridge in Ironbridge- these places are freaking quality, gastro pubs, in pretty venues with generous outdoor seating. I had never been here before before it closed previously, but I can definitely see why it was a wedding venue. Little neat gardens, a sun trap of terrace seating over a pool filled with koi carp and ducks. Grab a print out menu, and walk up to the bar to order, waiters will do any running back and forth after this. I went for a quick lunch with my friends mum to discuss her upcoming nuptials, and it didn't disappoint, we sat in the baking sun, me with a good layer of factor 50 on, and plumped for sandwiches. It was lovely. We also decided on puddings, my ginger and rhubarb trifle was absolutely gorgeous. As with the other nearby places, expect a wicked gin list, good ales, a full, busy bar, but you want to come here to eat as well, it's not really a pub just for drinking, the tables fill up quickly and you will probably want to book ahead to make sure you get in there! Lovely staff, lovely food, good bar, get down and try it out.

As you may all know by now, I get married next year and I have been searching for the perfect place…read moreeverywhere. So after booking a place and then not hearing anything from them for months only for them to tell us they had booked another couple for their wedding instead, we thought it best to look elsewhere. Then we found the Oakley which is a gorgeous place located in a beautiful village and we fell in love with it. First the address: The Oakley Kiddemore Green Road Brewood Staffordshire ST19 9BQ We found the Oakley very easily considering it is in a lovely little village called Brewood which is apparently a winner of best kept village for quite a few years running. It is gorgeous and right in the country and so quiet you feel like you have gone on holiday although it is not too far away from my house. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the Oakley from a junction on the M6 so as you can imagine it is easy to get to and very accessible. The Oakley is set back with a fantastic car park which is huge. It is a gigantic white building that looks very welcoming which is always nice. When you walk in there is a massive fish tank filled with some lovely fish and the main reception. Now for weddings there are two rooms available which is great so I will let you know a little bit about them now. The smaller room is beautiful and quite huge which is nice and offers panoramic views over the gardens which are simply stunning. It has its own private little bar and is a short walk away from the bigger bar. It is massive anyway and can house around 100 people so more than big enough to accommodate my wedding party. I should mention at this point that both rooms can be used for other parties and private functions too so not only weddings. The larger room is fabulous and can house up to 200 people I should imagine. It has a spectacularly large dance floor if you fancy like having a lot of people who can dance at your wedding. This room can have a door that takes you straight out onto the terrace and into the fabulous gardens which is very nice indeed. Now the terrace area is fantastic with seats and also a large area for barbeques if you want them. The gardens are fabulous though and are set around a massive lake which is so picturesque. There is a small centre piece in the middle which is lovely and you can walk all around and across the couple of bridges they have there. The setting is beautiful and it does take your breath away because you walk into the place not even thinking there is this massive area of garden which is so gorgeous. They have rooms at the Oakley too so you can stay the night if needs be. Now if you want to just visit the Oakley for food they do serve Sunday lunch for about £15 per head and it was delicious. They had a good choice of roasts and they give you a lot of food which is always good to see. The staff are very pleasant and you can sit on a table looking out onto the gardens which is lovely on a Sunday afternoon. Hire of the rooms is at £1500 - 1700 which is very reasonable and accommodation is around the £60 per room mark and you get a breakfast with that. In conclusion I am going to tell you the Oakley is simply stunning and if you want a party, wedding or corporate do there it is worth visiting. If you fancy like a meal with some superb views then I recommend going to. Love it there!!!! Thanks for reading. xxx P.S. This has been posted on other sites but always by me katygriff

I have gone to many 5* restaurants around the country, to AA rosette restaurants, and I have to say that the horns is well up with there with some of the best.

There was absolutely nothing to complain about, the service was prompt and very welcoming. The dining room is dark and very large, but somehow makes the room very cosy. The prices are very good for such an amazing place.

We had a dinner and a lunch here and the quality was variable - for one meal sweet potato chips were in a number of cases undercooked yet the fish and chips proved to be well cooked and in fact such a large portion as to remain unfinished. Table service was a tad slow each time although for the lunch we had placed the order prior to Noon, the official lunch start time. Having such a large array of sauces available is a good feature but having to carry seven of them around & swap between tables is something that should be considered for change.

I've been here a few times over the last few years, with friends, family and for a wake of all…read morethings (these do seem a relatively regular weekday occurrence, to be honest) and part of the 'vintage inns' chain. Reasonably stocked bar (yes, I know, that's something I always comment on!), with decent enough non-alcoholic choices too, including pretty good coffees (in the opinion of my dining companions who actually drink them). I've always enjoyed the sandwiches here, which you can choose with either chips or salad, and I was always happy with their old menu. They've had some pretty tasty puddings in the past too, including a chocolate and peanut butter torte, but PB is always a good shout for me. It is a poke-stop, for those of you who have jumped on the bandwagon (the other one is the church, heads up and all that). There is outside seating, out the front and round the back next to the canal is pretty pleasant, and can get pretty busy in the summer, but the side is a little run down. Foodwise, my only disappointment has been how hugely over cooked was my overcooked salmon, I wasn't too perky about that, definitely should be pink not white in my book, but it was a really generous slab of the stuff. The reason that it's middling in the stars, is that, no matter what time you go, the bar always seems understaffed (enough for someone to stick their hands in the till and run off once whilst we were having lunch there) and the food does take some time to come, so if you want something quickly, or your company is an irritating in law or a dreaded date, this is not the menu for you.
