Of course had to have a local 1/2 pint of beer -very smooth ok by now you realize i am American, so you'll understand why i was not expecting an upscale restaurant labeled as a pub. Starters goat cheese for me and garlic prawns for my coworker. He had rump of lamb, i had wild trout. Came with platters of fries, potatoes au gratin and steamed veg. Mixed desserts 3 minis - tasty Service friendly and efficent. Highly recommended.

The current management has boldly expanded the menu, opened for breakfast, provided access to its kitchen garden and detailed the provenance of all of its staple ingredients. Oh, that more places were like this. Whilst there are two car parks, they barely accommodate the number of drivers who patronise the establishment. The one at the front is backed by an attractive decked eating area. My most recent visit was for a light lunch with a colleague, so we each had a pint of Marston's Burton Bitter, and we had a crab and prawn sandwich and a Parma ham, and mozzarella sandwich, sharing a bow of chips between us. This light lunch was delicious, the service was good and the bill, including a large tomato juice, was £26.60. A firm favourite and we'll be back again.

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.

Another quaint pub we came to to have dinner with friends. It came highly recommended as "they…read moreweren't a pub that serves pub food but a restaurant that is also a pub". It worked out perfectly that we came here on a Sunday; surely, the food can only be as good as their Sunday roast? We all shared the appetizer platter (sweet chilli chicken skewers, lamb & balsamic koftas, tonkatsu-inspired pulled pork croquettes, aioli and chorizo topped flatbread). The chicken skewers were good, lamb koftas very good, pulled pork croquettes were weird and too sweet, flatbread was burnt and flavorless. No chorizo to be found. For my main, I decided on the roast beef from their Sunday roast menu. It came with smoked beef-dripping roasted potatoes, honey-glazed carrots and parsnips, seasonal greens, Yorkshire pudding & bottomless gravy. This was a great roast, or rather, a proper Sunday roast! Make sure to ask for horseradish as it pairs very nicely with the beef. Use the Yorkshire pudding to sop up the gravy (ahhh, so is THIS what you do with Yorkshire pudding...). Service was friendly and very efficient. They also have a kid's menu, so you know it's another family friendly pub.

Menu part of a chain however this chain excels as the food always tastes home cooked... Right value for money and staff always delightful, our server today was Leanna who had just returned from maternity leave, she was very enthusiastic and attentive Food was really tasty and freshly cooked I Had the Sea Bass fillets which were large and plump and panfried with colour to the meaty sides which I like.. The accompaniments were a little on the small side and didn't fill as they were vegetables however next time I would order a side.. This bumps the price up as they are £3.50 Each but probably worth it. My dad had the rump steak sandwich which was as it sounds.. Beer a little pricey as the Perone was £4.50 soft drinks about £2.50 be prepared to spend around £20-25 per head for lunch .

Believe it or not, but this house has allegedly seen paranormal and ghostly events which occurred…read morewhen it was named the Gypsy's Tent pub. David Taylor, of UK paranormal research organisation 'Parasearch', remembers that when his mother worked at this pub in the late 1970s he heard many stories of the premises being haunted. Doors would open on their own, objects moved around the rooms and cold spots appeared. The staff of the Gypsy's Tent blamed this paranormal activity on a ghost whom they called 'Bella', probably due to the proximity of the murder site - the remains of the woman nicknamed 'Bella' found inside a hollow elm tree in the nearby Hagley Wood - and the mysterious nature of the girl's death. There were rumours that the real 'Bella' had been a barmaid in a local pub who had disappeared in the Spring of 1943, never to be seen again. David Taylor later wrote to local newspaper, 'the Black Country Bugle' about the ghostly incidents, and the paper subsequently published an account of the 'Ghost of Bella',

On entering through a fairly plain black door you walk upstairs to find yourself in a lovely room filled with quirky lighting, mis-matched chairs, tables and sofas and with loads of art by local artists on the walls, (most of it for sale). The venue regularly hosts gigs, film nights and quizzes with a different theme each week. Last time I did a film quiz there, one of the rounds was 'who can draw the best picture of Steve Buscemi'! The bar is well stocked with a good range of beers, wine and spirits and also sells snacks like crisps and nuts. It also has a really great sound system and a small area that serves as a stage and dance floor. I went to Scary Canary last night for a birthday party and had a great evening, I would really recommend it as an alternative to all of the chain / old man pubs that are in Stourbridge.

We are unsure as to why you did not see either of us as one of us is always downstairs. On both dates stated we were front of house. Whilst I understand we cannot please everybody we have a large number of satisfied repeat customers who eat here 3-4 times a week, week in week out. As a result of feedback given we no longer take bookings and in reference to table service it does clearly state on 2 different boards that customers are to order at the bar. Please rest assure we take all feedback as constructive regardless of how negative a review is written. Also in regards to no beer on the 24th Dec this is totally incorrect as we had Hobgoblin our guest beer on and banks mild, the only cask not on was banks bitter. Thank you for feedback

If you need somewhere local to Stourbridge Junction railway station or St. Mary's church (in my case), this is the place... Ruth and Pete are super-friendly and so nice. They let me check in a tad early so I could drop my bags and make my self presentable for an afternoon funeral service at St. Mary's. The room I stayed in was perfectly sized for me with my little suitcase. If you're coming with shed-loads of luggage, you'll want to leave some in the car. There was a tray with plenty of tea and coffee and a cute little pod coffee machine with lots of different types of coffee as well as the traditional kettle. There is a small wardrobe and some drawers for your stuff. The bathroom has a shower stall (no bathtub) and holds one person at a time. The bed is flanked by a bedside table on each side (something that is starting to be a rarity - especially in the US) with plenty of outlets and USB plugs all around the room. No digging behind furniture for outlets here!! If you're here for a function, come early to snag a parking spot outside - there are only a few. There is a park and ride behind the station, but I don't know their hours.

The teenage girl behind the bar gave surly service,and spoke so fast that I could barely make out her words. I had to ask her to repeat the reason I couldn`t order a pint of Guinness and she seemed to spit the words out at me as if she really did not want to be there. After I had paid I stood wondering where I should receive the rolls and she finally said "we`ll bring it over". The rolls arrived reasonably fast but she mumbled something along the lines "there ya go" and promptly walked off. On leaving we walked past her totally engrossed in playing on her mobile. I hope this is not indicative of the service there daily as the pub itself is really quite nice inside but I will never set foot in the place again though. I have since wondered if my initial approach to her was wrong or in some way misconstrued, but I cannot in all honesty think it was. I am always try to be polite and believe the words thank you and please are two of the most powerful words in any language but not it seems in hers We were there on 22nd October 2016 around 1pm.
