Having read the 2 reviews posted I am disappointed that you feel the service did not meet your…read moreexpectations. 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

Nice pub but wrong location on map. 2 miles out of Kiddy towards Stourbridge in reality.read more

As with most middle class pubs nowadays The Whittington offers food. That being said, it has a…read moreproper restaurant section with ample seating within this 17th century building. The menu is your standard pub favourites and nothing different from many local bistro pubs. But all in all the food was well seasoned, well prepared and decent prices. The service was jolly and quite good. I can't comment on the pub section as I have yet to try it, but it looked like your usual country pub. I would recommend it for a nice family pub meal and have no qualms with the venue. I gave it overall 3 stars as it didn't blow me away and was very similar to all bistro pubs all over the the UK.

Had been here before refurb and found it a good traditional pub. Not so now…read more It's cold in the bar and side rooms. The fact that many people are sitting in coats didn't inspire staff to light the fires. Staff chatting behind the bar to each other instead of serving. No sandwiches on because delivery's late so everything's frozen! Didn't like bar staff putting lemon in drinks with his fingers. It just wasn't very good.

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.

Even had to go back to the bar for more drinks whist waiting. No apology or anything. So we went somewhere else. I put a sad review on FB. I then gave the pub another chance (not for food) as friends drink in there/never eat there. I should have took note sadly. Then we popped in and the landlady whome been drinking ran behind the bar abusing me for slagging her off with my review (which I didnt) and barred me for writing a truthful review. I then got manhandled by two locals and locked in the pub. I had to ring the police to help.

For example - the big screen broke before the Grand National, management apologised and quickly got the race up on their laptop and we all gathered round to watch. Then they let us bring chips in from next door (as we were fairly drunk by then). All in all a non pretentious boozer that defines itself as a gay venue but offers all the warmest of welcomes. I urge anyone who is passing through Stourbridge and inclined to support a gay venture to get down there. Oh - it's a Banks's pub and the bitter was brilliant. Nice to see you keep your pipes clean ladies!

Scary Canary is a cool little bar / venue at the top of Stourbridge High Street, housed in the…read moreformer McDonalds building. 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.
