3 Hammers Bar & Bistro in South Staffordshire

A very enjoyable experience enhanced by excellent staff.Will we return? Without doubt

Four of us went for a meal tonight and we all really enjoyed it. Lovely food, good service and friendly staff. Will definitely go there again

Lovely service and food On a lovely table for my niece's 21st birthday meal and the restaurant was very busy for a Monday night

Attended on 25th August for Sunday lunch. 5 people. Would like to say the experience was excellent, food really tasty and hot. Special occasion for my Birthday. Thankyou

Excellent food, good portions, service good. Very pleasant surroundings

Food here was good, and the menu has great selection. However, the service was the worst I have ever experienced in a restaurant. We were a party of four people and a table who arrived 10 minutes after us were served their meals before us. After thirty minutes, we asked where our food would be and the waitress told us that the salmon would take longer - ok, no problem. Ten minutes later, three of the four mains arrived, but we were still left waiting for the fourth: sausage and mash. The waitress told us that it would be over shortly despite earlier saying it would be the salmon that would take longer. Another ten minutes later, they brought the sausage and mash out whilst everyone else’s food had gone cold. They made little to no effort to apologise for this when serving the sausage and mash and we felt like they didn’t care. After we had finished our meals, the plates were not cleared for 10 minutes so in the end we just left and went to the bar to pay the bill instead of having it brought over. Even when paying the bill, they made no apology for the delay in the food. We also had a fly that landed in two of the meals, and whilst they cannot control flies and did replace one of the meals, little to no care was given from the staff which we found very disappointing.

Surprise Birthday Afternoon Tea booked by my Aunty and Cousin for me. It was such a lovely experience service food and drinks were excellent. All the staff were really helpful and polite. Thank you I would highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal here with my family for my mums birthday, the staff went 100% above and beyond for us and my son when asked about their chips. Cannot thank you all enough for the extreme kindness you all showed for us.

A great lunchtime meal for the 7 of us to celebrate an engagement. We travelled from North Wales, and Oxford and met halfway. A selection of dishes, and all very good, with friendly service. The lads had a round of golf first and then lunch after. Would highly recommend.

Up there with one of the worst meals I’ve ever had in my life. Please see image attached of what they consider a cottage pie. Was 90% cheese, and the cheap stringy cheese you put on chips when you get a kebab, absolutely awful. Also on that note, who in hell serves chips with cottage pie??? Also the service was poor, the table was never cleaned between meals. Empty glasses from pre meals drinks just sat empty throughout the entire meal, and things like the gravy boats were never removed between the main and dessert. The only reason this gets a two star is because of the Eton Mess - it was very nice. Please send this to the chef, as I don’t believe he’s ever seen a cottage pie in his life; 2 tbsp olive oil 2 lbs ground beef 1 large onion, grated 1 large carrot, grated 2 cloves garlic, grated 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce 1½ tbsp tomato paste 2 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped 1 cup red wine 1 cup beef stock 2.5 lbs potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks) 2 egg yolks ¼ cup cream 4 tbsp butter 6 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated 1. Preheat the oven to 180c 2. Heat the oil in a large pan until hot. 3. Season the ground beef and fry in the oil over moderate to high heat for 2-3 minutes. 4. Stir the onions and carrot into the mince then grate the garlic in as well. 5. Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and herbs and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. 6. Pour in the red wine and reduce until almost completely evaporated. 7. Add the beef stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the sauce has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. 8. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain potatoes and return to the hot pan over low heat to dry out briefly. 9. Pass them through a potato ricer then beat in the egg yolks, cream and butter, followed by about 2 tbsp grated Parmesan. Check for seasoning. 10. Spoon the mince mixture into the bottom of an ovenproof dish. 11. Using a large spoon, layer the mashed potato generously on top of the mince mixture, starting from the outside and working your way into the middle. 12. Top with remaining parmesan and season. 13. Fluff up the mashed potato with a fork to make rough peaks. 14. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown.

Would give 0 stars if I could. We arrived and was seated at our table. The waitress shoved the afternoon tea down on the table and walked off before even explaining what everything was. Their was no taste to anything at ALL and the kids meal looked anaemic. You can tell that everything had not been made in-house and been bought in on the cheap with a lack of quality. We asked a waitress to get the manager and they had the audacity to blame us for our 'FOOD PALETS' and said she had never had any complaints before. She said she can't do anything about it; in other words she couldn't care less. After being offered some scones and tea a member of our family felt ill and was sick twice within minutes of eating the prawn sandwich. We spoke to the manager again after this happened and he gave us a full refund. However, still nobody was bothered in the slightest about saying sorry and was offered us some boxes to take the food home!! which we definitely DID NOT TAKE!!! I work within the hospitality sector and I am appalled with what has happened. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING!

Went for birthday meal last night. Had to wait over an hour for any food to come out. Poor waitresses where excellent but kitchen was poor. I ordered beef stroganoff, bad mistake. Looked like a bowl of tinned mushroom soup with a few sliced button mushrooms in it ,found about five small slivers of steak. Terrible. Everything seemed to take an iternaty. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone very poor.

Service was fine with very pleasant friendly staff. However the food was mediocre I had scampi and chips. The presentation of chips peas and scampi looked like it had been just thrown on to the plate but worse still none of it was really hot. The waitress did come over and asked if everything was alright and did offer to replace my meal but by then I had eaten most of the scampi as I didn’t want it getting even colder. I left most of the Chios and peas not an experience I want to repeat

We had another fantastic afternoon at the 3 hammers started off with a family game of golf followed by a lovely meal at the restaurant, food was faultless as always and the staff really go above and beyond. 5 stars all the way.

Beautiful restaurant delicious food great staff and lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Just don’t order the gammon, never been served with such poor quality food.

Popped in afternoon after we had played adventure golf, food was actually very very nice and well presented although a little over priced, service wasn't great though.

Steak and ale pie with a good serving of gravy. Finished off with a apple pie with custard. Comfort food when summer temperatures suddenly drops. Lunch 2 course deal 👍

Visited to use the golf range but was impressed with the food and drinks service.

Starters came out quite quickly but then we waited at least 45 mins or more for main course. We were offered a free drink because of this. Didn't collect empty plates for a long time. We had to go and ask. Then one dessert was forgotten so had to ask about that too.

Had afternoon tea with my wife for her birthday. Nice gesture by the bistro with a birthday card on our table upon arrival. Very attentive helpful waitress in clean comfortable surroundings with a pleasant atmosphere and good background music. Very efficient service with food good value for money. Nothing to dislike and nice location, would happily revisit.

Lovely meal last night with friends staff and waitresses excellent could not do enough for you will be going again we all enjoyed

Great gluten free menu including fish & chips, sweet & sour chicken, prawn cocktail, garlic mushrooms with gluten free roll, mixed grill and sirloin steak with new potatoes. Not all the pictures represent the gluten free version offered because not everyone in the party was gluten intolerant but there is a gf alternative for everything shown here. The sirloin and the garlic mushrooms are the actual gluten free options, all the steaks and burgers on the menu have a gluten free option and gluten free skin on fries, mash, new potatoes or jacket potato available with all dishes, also dairy free “butter”, really good service, friendly and helpful

Cold plates, food sent back, cold. Sauces after asking came 10 minutes after food, by then all food cold. Very poor service, paying at till takes them ages. No disabled toilets. Will never go again, lots of other places better food.

Food always good at the 3 hammer's

Every thing on the day was great staff brilliant service and food first class .lovely day .

Staff very welcoming we had a big party they accommodated us really well. Food and service were excellent

Last Friday 24th May 2024. My wife and i decided to go out to eat. The Bistro is one of our favorite eateries. As usual the welcome was lovley, the service was second to none and the food and wine were excellent. We have already taken family and friends there and we wilm be going again soon.

Great to been here looked after us very well seen as there was so many people in our party Service was great no problem with food or drinks and great time over all...

Ausome. Second viset highly recamended

Just had a absolutely fantastic 60th birthday meal here, service and staff were just brilliant and very helpful and friendly, the food was excellent Very highly appreciate and recommend venue 👍

We came yesterday for Sunday lunch it was wonderful. We always fine it’s like a home from home so welcoming and delicious food what more could you ask for.

Spot on for a game of golf.... Lovely food and drink too!!.... 💯👍😊

The waiting on staff were very friendly and polite good position next to the golf course.The quality of the food seems to have gone down recently which is a shame as we have visited many times over the years.The chips were overcooked and hard and the cottage ple was greasy..our waitress was very welcoming and helpful.

We came to celebrate my husband birthday I’ve got to say this is my absolute favourite place , the food atmosphere and they do the best cocktails. We alway feel that the team go above and beyond to look after us. Thank you to all the team.

Food was shocking, around the world grill was burnt to cinders, wife’s pasta had so much greenery on it I think they took it from the rough on the course. Food sent back. Service girls were very apologetic not there fault tho.

Eight of us had the misfortune of having Sunday lunch here . Overcooked mushy vegetables , tough meat , thick gloop for gravy and just overall tastelessness. A case of quantity over quality . Majority was left uneaten , £150 spent and yet still hungry . The only good thing was the smily , young , dark haired waitress . Never again !

Came here for my birthday and a late mother's day with our two daughters. Food was cooked how we asked and service was very good. I would recommend everyone to try it.

I come here every Wednesday with my boyfriend and his granddad, i am very pleased with the quality of food and even happier with the service. we will keep on returning.

Went tonight for tea to celebrate my 65th Birthday and my Dad’s 89th Birthday. Absolutely appalling! The service was diabolical we waited for an hour for them to come and take the orders. The waitress came back 10 minutes later to say no Gammon and no fillet steak! It then took another 10 minutes to come back to take the replacement order. Food came out there were items missing off plates, things on plates that shouldn’t have been there. All the meat was cold but so were the plates. The extras that were ordered had to be asked for! The manager was called over, he was rude and patronising. All in all this spoilt our birthday celebrations. We did not wait to order desserts as did not want to be disappointed again. Came away after eating virtually nothing. Will not be going again for sure!

Items unavailable on the menu at 6pm. Steaks were all stone cold. Customer service was disgusting. Items that shouldn’t have been on a plate were and not on the ones it should have been. Side orders not received. Managers attitude was disgusting and patronising. It was a surprise meal for 2 birthdays which were ruined by all of this.

Good food nice atmosphere and good service.

Visited for 2 steak night + bottle of wine for £28,00. Steaks both cooked to perfection and rest of meal matched this. Delicious sweet served with a plum by Josh. He and Massie made our night special with their friendly attitude and indeed patience as I messed up our payment. Will definitely be returning. Great night, great food, great service. Excellent golfing facilities including American Golf pro shop and driving range to visit prior to lovely meals. .

Celebrated our Golden Wedding here yesterday. Can't thank Annie and all the staff for a lovely meal, excellent service and a special atmosphere. Thank you all so much.

Excellent in everyway and children are allowed which is a bonus 😀

Great service - welcoming friendly staff. One of our party was there for his 9th birthday and the restaurant had a card ready for him when we arrived! Food was good and cost very reasonable.

Birthday lunch. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Lovely food.

Went for my wife's 40th birthday, 12 of us in total food was good. Cocktail choice was OK, but not that big a range to pick from.

Part of a golfing complex. Food was good, but not outstanding, good portions. Real ale limited to one Holden's beer

Always a friendly welcome. Decent choice on the menu. Free parking

I found this place searching for vegan restaurants.The staff were very kind,helpful and courteous so I order my food,a soup and jack potato with lentils tarts,which was overheated(microwave)poorly done and tasteless.As they run out of soup I have been offered a dessert instead,I agree with that but I didn’t take it,considering what I had as a main,the dessert couldn’t certainly have been better. Back in the road I stopped at “Leon”which compared 3 Hammers is far beyond about quality. To all Vegans please don’t go in this place,

Lovely food, good atmosphere and staff were lovely they brought out cards for our friends birthday. It was a great way of going above and beyond

We went on Sunday we had a lovely roast.Roast potatoes were absolutely amazing vegetables was hot and gravy was lovely hope the next visit will be the same

We booked the conservatory area for 40+ of our choir for our annual post Christmas meal. The organisation & good service was great. The welcome & attentiveness was warm & friendly. Groups have the fixed price 2 or 3 course menu which makes it much easier for our choir. A lovely touch was that the choirs name was printed on the menus. We all had lovely meals & a great time.

Visited a couple of times and tended to have a bar snack but today, party of six for a meal after a round of crazy golf. Great value for money, food was lovely and hot, great atmosphere and children were welcome.

Reasonably priced food is always good and service.

We visited for a friend's birthday on a Sunday afternoon/early evening. Not only was the food gorgeous but the entire atmosphere was very welcoming. Staff went out of their way to make sure that we were accommodated for and we're amazingly polite and pleasant.

Very good value for money food. Staff friendly and helpful.

Beautiful place warm roaring fires great service.. Lamb was yummy super veg.. Desserts and coffee really good...

Very helpful staff and good food

Nice for a cuppa on a very cold day

Went for Christmas get together with friends. Lovely atmosphere, food was great. Would definitely recommend

We chose this restaurant to have Christmas Lunch as a family. The food was amazing as always, but could really do with having a choice of portion size as the dinner was huge and too much for my elderly parents, my mom was overwhelmed by the size of her meal. We did feel a little rushed as no time between courses, and had to choose quickly all three courses together as soon as we sat down and as some of the choices had changed from the original menu felt a bit stressed. Although it was Christmas Day there wasn’t much of an atmosphere in the dining area and the music played wasn’t very jolly. Staff were excellent but not very festive! We will certainly go back during the year as we enjoy the food and we couldn’t fault the Christmas Meal the food was excellent but just too much. Could do with a standard meal or a smaller one so we could choose.

Excellent, tasty food as always. Great service too.

Lovely food great service fantastic night

Food and staff were fantastic, but the cost of drinks is a rip off.

Starter was cold waited awhile for food staff great

Over charged for a bottle of wine witch we never had but was sorted out and my friends steak wasn't very nice, waitress was very good

First time eating there won't be the last food was hot good service very nice

Had a great night, entertainment was good and the food was wonderful. Would definitely recommend anyone to come.

Excellent food, friendly staff, great atmosphere, quick service.

Never get fed up of going to this awsome place the food is delicious the atmosphere is lovely background music not to loud like some places can be and you can't hear yourself talk ,it's just great ,

Not great. Food is overpriced and cold.

Me and my family visited here for an engagement meal, and I can honestly say it was absolutely worth it. The staff were so pleasant, but I do have to say that Marie went above and beyond and I could tell she was a great asset to the waitressing team. We had hired out the conservatory as it was a big party and this seated up to 50 people. The interior was spectacular and the atmosphere was warming with background music playing at the perfect volume. Now let’s get to the food… absolutely delightful! I had ordered calamari for starter and steak and chips for my main. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and mouthwatering, I could not fault the chef one bit, hats off to them. I will definitely be visiting again in the future.

We've attended for many occasions for 20+ years including Sunday lunches and festive evenings. We have started attending for a cheeky breakfast before my lad has his golf lessons. Lovely, friendly service and fab food

Went to the onsite American Golf shop for some golf shoes for my wife, needn't have bothered very poor selection with even less options in size. Poor.

Extremely pleasant place to have a meal. Staff very polite, friendly, helpful and efficient. We did have a couple of hiccups, cold rice for one main meal and custard instead of ice cream for a pudding, but these were rectified very quickly by apologetic staff. Will definitely go again and certainly recommend.

Food not bad, service was good. Not a bad location. Price wasn't too bad. Parking is a bit difficult, it's very busy in the car park. Worth a visit.

Well what can I say Monday night absolutely amazing meal steaks were cooked to perfection chips were hot and presentation wow will be coming back 😁😁

Excellent service and friendly staff.

Great "homecooked" style food. Generous portions. Restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. Good choice and quality kid's food, which makes a refreshing change from naff chicken nuggets you usually end up with for kids. Staff are super 👌🏻

After the golf across the road with the grandkids, we popped over for a quick drink after a hot day. Cut a long story short, a credit card was left behind by my daughter accidentally, only to later realize she's lost it somewhere. Following morning, she had a phone call letting her know they had it at reception and it could be collected, just wanna say to the management please pass on our thanks and gratitude to which ever member of your staff who did the right thing, thats honesty and integrity as they could've have gone on a little tap/contactless spending spree Made my visit to the UK so much pleasurable.

Meal was nice resturant staff helpfull, check your bill at the end mine had 5 madri on it, and this could have only happened when you give your table number, or that bar staff friends drink free, other tha nwas good night.

We ate from the bar menu, outside in the small beer garden. Food was really good value, served piping hot and zero issues here. Drinks reasonably priced, friendly service and recommended as a snack stop before using Jurassic Creek! We will be back!!

We haven’t been here for over a year. We stopped going as the food wasn’t as good as before. Sad to say it’s not any better. It seems that since Astrid retired it’s gone downhill. I know times are hard and getting harder. It was very noisy, we couldn’t hear ourselves speak. The prawn cocktail was good but my Cajun chicken was over cooked with burnt spices and a small portion. The bbq chicken melt was overcooked and not very warm. I don’t like these twice cooked chips. Pleasant staff, friendly and welcoming.

We were shown to our table by an older friendly lady but the orders were taken by a younger member of staff who you could tell wasn’t interested. The meals took a while to be delivered to the table but that was ok as we were friends having a catch up. I’ve never had chips so hot which makes a nice change, my sauce didn’t arrive and my friends ‘well done’ steak was bright pink in the middle, no one was visible or came to ask if everything was ok. When the plates were removed we told the waitress about the sauce and steak but she didn’t say anything. We ordered desserts which were fine and then we usually order a hot drink after our meal but again no one was around to ask so we didn’t bother. When paying we were asked if everything was ok and had a refund for the steak after telling them that things weren’t ok. She did say a new chef was on their own for the first time that night but it was no excuse for the mistakes. Doubt we will visit again as the previous time we visited the service wasn’t great.

It was a lovely place to eat, The food was really good and the staff were really friendly

A warm welcome, polite staff who were engaging and friendly. Then some fantastic food, the round the world grill and the stroganoff were to die for. Can't believe we've not been here before but we'll definitely be back.

Crazy golf was great fun for the children. Had a meal in the bistro service and food was excellent highly recommended. The only criticism I have would be perhaps the children could go round twice on the Crazy golf and it would be worth it.

Food was terrible fillet steaks over cooked and dry .salad well where was the salad just wilted lettuce chips were cold starters were over cooked and dry for the price of the meal it was terrible.. service not good..excuse was new chef

We had a meal at the 3 Hammers today following a funeral. We all chose the light lunch menu. There were so many choices, the portions, for a light lunch menu were really generous and the food was good quality. We all managed 3 courses, it was too good not too. Service was also fab and the ambience in the conservatory was lovely. Highly recommend

Had a lovely meal with friends. Staff were pleasant, and the place was very nice. Would definitely return.

Fantastic service lovely food great place

Very nice restuarant with 20% off offer. See the website for details.

Had a family meal on Sunday. Lovely food would recommend the roast dinner. Good portions plenty of choice including for the 3 kids. Service was a little slow but it was busy, so no dramas. Yes I will be going back.

Food not as good we enjoyed on previous visits

The service was not very good when we visited

I don’t unfortunately visit here half as much as I used to. Although the menu selection has improved over recent years it generally is hit & miss whether you feel you’ve enjoyed the evening and received value for money. I remember when Terry ran this restaurant upto about 2016 /17. He would always be attentive especially to regular visitors and very seldom would you see negative reviews. Unfortunately the guy who runs it now ( no idea of his name since never see him ( when I’ve visited ) interact with any customers. You wouldn’t particularly mind this provided the standards of the staff were exceptional but with the exception of a couple long-standing staff members this sadly is not the case. The price of the menu seems to increase every other week and again this wouldn’t necessarily be a huge issue given current cost of living provided the standards and quality also increased. However when you have an owner who looks down on customers as if they’re “lower forms of life” and is not one bit bothered about what people say on Trip Advisor given you see no responses then I guess you take pot luck on whether you have a good or bad experience. A shame Terry left….
