I've been to the Lyttleton Arms numerous times and always had an enjoyable night.so decided to go…read moresomewhere out of the way with a friend for some post Christmas lunch. We were welcomed in which was lovely and seated at our table. Not sure what has changed, but it wasn't a positive experience from start to finish. The service was poor, we waited ages to be served, we waited a long time for food. Once the food arrived we were shocked at the portion size for the price we were going to pay. I had to ask for our order to be taken more than once as the waitress had forgotten to come back to us, we complained about the level of service several times and nothing improved due to being short of staff. The maitre'd was of no value in resolving the issues raised and appeared inexperienced in how to deal with a complaint. Really disappointing as i love coming here for the drinks. The only positive thing were actually the drinks they were lovely and arrived promptly. They even gave us hot water with fresh mint leaves for mint tea. Its a shame to say but i wouldn't recommend this place for food. I don't think this is a one off either as after speaking to my friend, she also experienced the same with poor service before! The only reason this is a two is because they took some money off the bill and the drinks in the pub are good.

The sight of the Slug & Lettuce branding is not normally something that draws me into an…read moreestablishment, so I may be bias. However, seeing one open on my local High Street, I felt I should give it a shot. The Proverbial, which occupied the space previously closed in early January - as soon as the Christmas rush was over. The pub hasn't switched hands at all, Stonegate have just decided to rebrand it, deciding that Harborne requires a more high-end brand than it's previous occupant. I've walked past the place whist the refurbishment was taking place, so I know that they stripped it right back. If I hadn't have done, I would have guessed, as when I first entered I felt it looked pretty much the same. Of course this is an exaggeration as there's some mirror tiles behind the bar, the furniture has been reupholstered, and the wood re-varnished, their team must have worked very hard, but to me it feels the same. Perhaps this is because every table and chair is still in the same place, the layout and lighting is still the same. Actually it was EVEN darker! What has changed are the prices, a pint of beer will now cost roughly double what cost before. It's gone from being one of the cheapest bars on the High Street, where a beer would cost £2.50-£3.00, to being one of the most expensive with beers at £4.00-£5.50. That's one expensive lick of paint! Admittedly the list has changed with draught additions being Brewdog 5AM Red (£5.25), and Purity Longhorn (£4.75), amongst others. The care and dedication required to keep cask ale is obviously too much for Slug & Lettuce staff. The hand pumps that once gave us sub-£3 pints of Wye Valley HPA have been ripped out, replaced by on-trend 'craft' beer taps. My friend ordered a Guinness, it was poured in one, no time given to allow the drink to settle. I wouldn't mind if the bar was rammed and the barman was rushed of his feet, but we were the only people at the bar! At these prices I expect service level above the cheaper places down the road, not below par! The bottle list has improved vastly too! Now bosting 16 different beers from around the world, not bad for a branded chain pub! The only highlight from the list however is Kwak, although at £5.75 per bottle, I would want the correct glassware & stand, which I doubt they have. The rest is fairly predicatable: Brewdog, Leifmans,. Meantime, Curious Brew, etc. It's the 'craft' breweries with large distribution backing, like St Stefanus - the Belgian beer owned by SAB Miller. We sat outside, where the wooden tables were original, but they've added some garish white plastic chairs and a strip of astroturf in the middle of the courtyard. I can't really judge the food as all we had was some garlic bread, which tasted exactly like Wetherspoons garlic bread. So much so, that I would say it's the same product (probably from 3663), just cut into strips. I don't mind paying more, when I feel I'm getting something for it, be it service atmosphere, convenience etc. Unfortunately the S&L failed to deliver on any of these. I shan't be returning in a hurry.

Don't get me wrong, the food is lovely but you have to get up and order as in restaurants such as Nando's, so the prices should reflect this to be honest.

Although it is out of the way it is still well worth a visit.

The menu here is pretty good as well and there is also a nice family feel about this place. Parking should not be an issue as there is parking on-site and this place is easily accessible for disabled people. There is something for everyone and a kids menu is also available if you do bring your children along. You can order main meals straight away or you can have a starter and then go onto to have a main. And of course not forgetting there are plenty of desserts to choose from. I remember having a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad here and it was gorgeous. You could taste the cheese straight away and the chicken was tenderly cooked. The Ridgacre is a pub I have been to on a number of occasions and I have always enjoyed my time here. Worth a visit in my view.

I've now been to this place twice as it's a favorite venue of the people I work with. It's a…read morefairly large pub that reminds me of a place you'd stumble across out in the country. I do love the interior with the exposed beams. It does have it's own free car park which is always a plus. But other than that there's nothing I would ever voluntarily go back here for. Both times I have dined here I found the food plain. It reminds me of a cheap ready meal you'd get from the supermarket. This most recent time I chose off the Festive menu which had 3 courses for around £20. The food on paper sounded lovely. Crayfish cocktail to start, turkey main, and butterscotch pud for dessert. The crayfish cocktail was very small. There was nothing special about it. The roast turkey was loaded up with roasted potatoes, turkey, pig in blanket, Yorkshire pud, and veg. The stuffing was so tiny I barely got a taste. Turkey was average. And the vegetables were over cooked. I could hardly cut into the potatoes with the dull knife I had. Lastly, butterscotch pudding. I normally love desserts, but this one I couldn't get into. I only finished half. Again it reminded me of something I'd find premade in a low end supermarket, consistently underwhelming. I'm a big cocktail drinker and I could only find a few Christmas cocktails. I tried one expecting a true cocktail, but this was basically booze with a mixer in a glass with no garnish or thought put into it. This seemed more of a beer drinker paradise as it is a traditional pub. Still, it would have been nice if they put a tiny bit more effort into the drinks. I didn't realize this pub was amongst a chain of pubs called Chef & Brewer. I can't say I've been to any of the others. I will say we did not have a problem with service or wrong orders at this pub as others have wrote. However, based on the food quality I received both visits, I feel I can't give this place above 2 stars.

The 'two for one' offer is great and is ideal for a group of friends getting together or families going out to dinner. The menu has a lot to offer but don't forget to take a peek at the specials board. If you fancy a lighter bite then I'd recommend you go for one of the sandwiches. My favourite is the battered cod coujons baguette. You get two massive fish fingers smothered in tartar sauce (personally I prefer ketchup), some tortilla chips and a side sprinkling of salad for only £4.95, it definitely hits the spot. The menu here is unlike any other as they offer giant desserts and hen I say giant I mean GIANT! The picture on the menu didn't do the Gateau Florence cake I had justice. Everytime I finished a layer of sponge a level of something fruity was waiting for me. I feel stuffed now just thinking about it! My advice would be to share one. Inside there is plenty of seating but if the weather is good grab a spot outside, it is a great sun trap and though you are near to the train station it's surprisingly quiet. This is a great place to eat or even just to catch a drink but be warned that the service can be slow at peak times and unless you sit outside you have to have table service (not really to my liking). I suggest you get your food orders in quick and whilst waiting decide which GIANT dessert you are going to have!

If you haven't been to this pub before I would recommend doing this as soon as possible! Located in…read morethe Blake Street Railway, next to the Blake Street station, this pub has a differential: its service! I'm pretty much used to the "go-to-the-bar-and-ask-for-your-beer" kind of serving but as there is nothing wrong about being spoiled a little bit, I quite enjoyed the way they serve the clientele. A very receptive and attentive to details staff, to be more specific. The fact this pub has a "two for one" menu is also another reason to stop by. It's pretty much a kind of deal that when you chose two main courses from a special section of the menu, the lower priced meal chosen is for free. I can guarantee their four cheese and roasted Mediterranean vegetable pie made my day and even If I have already tried better Tangy lemon curds before, I will certainly repeat a meal experience at Blake Barn soon! They have parking but the best way to visit this pub is by train. No driving, the drinks are allowed!
