Food was nice but the portion was small. Had burger and chips and it looked like a children's meal. Staff got mixed up with the food and a drinks order and for so close to Christmas there was no atmosphere. Compared with the bankfield inn which I got to quite a lot I was disappointed.

We visit a lot and have always had good meals but I had the hunters chicken tonight and it was dire… dry chicken overcooked bacon, dry and tasteless chips and a very suspicious looking tomato … not sure if chef has changed but change him back quickly … very disappointed

First time visitors for a family meal. Food was fantastic. Pub was quiet as was a weeknight with no events on, but looking at the schedule of events the team clearly put in a lot of effort to entertain.

Food was lovely but when we arrived at our reserved table there was still dirty plates 🍽 , cups & glasses left on the table. I asked one of the servers (a women with long dark hair) if our table could be cleared/cleaned and waited 15 minutes & no one bothered to clear it. My hubby ended up clearing the mess away himself.

This was my first visit in a long time; we were visiting for a family meal for a child's birthday. At entry, you get a decent welcome; the decor is nice, and there is plenty for children to do: outdoor play area, games, and other nice touches. We were seated at our table and were supplied with a high chair for our 2-year-old; however, it was placed at a table twice the height. The solution was to give us 4 chairs stacked on each other, not something I was hugely comfortable with or felt utterly safe about. It was very busy, and a 30% off voucher was in circulation, which was expected. The wait for drinks, food, and anything else was long. We ordered our first drinks from the bar. The staff, having poured the Guinness, said it would be brought to our table when it was ready so they could serve other customers; it took 20 minutes to reach us, and by then, it was warm. Having waited a while for our food, it arrived and looked okay, and most of the meals around our table went down decently. Although the child's meal came with cold corn on the cob and virtually burnt waffles, my wife's gammon was tough and inedible, and my burger wasn't warm. We don't know the place well, but we were seated in the bar area rather than the restaurant and had the dogs sitting with us at neighbouring tables. Would I rush to return? No. Would I recommend it to anyone else? No, but it seemed like a decent place for a pint, but I wouldn't expect a fine dining experience.

I appreciate that it was busy, and to be fair the food did come out in reasonable time. I also appreciate that because we had a dog with us we had to sit over in the bar area rather than the dining area. However, the only table available that wasn't reserved had empty or half empty glasses on it. There had obviously been a spillage as the table was also partially covered in a sticky mess. Several staff members walked by but not one of them offered to clear the glasses or wipe the table over. When the server arrived with our food, she just served the meals and went to walk away, until we asked her if she would at least clear the glasses off the table, which she grudgingly did while offering some excuse about being "on food" Now talking of food, mine (steak and ale pie) was actually very nice, although I thought they were a bit stingy with the cips. My stepdaughter had the lasagne, which again was tasty although it wasn't really a lasagne, my partner however wasn't very pleased with her hunters chicken. The bacon was burnt (properly burnt black) and the chicken was that overcooked that it had gone dry and chewy. Not good! Finally, who's bright idea was it to put a dartboard in an area where people are eating? At least cover the thing at peak times! We had a guy playing darts right next to us, all through our meal, he even knocked my girlfriend a couple of times because the oche was right next to us! I appreciate as I said that we were in the bar area but in pubs like this the bar becomes an extention of the dining area at peak times, so the dartboard should be covered. While we were there the staff came and reserved a table where the one diner was going to have their head virtually right under the dartboad, I only hope the Phil Taylor wannabe had packed in by then or they were gonna get an arrow in the ear!! All in all, not good. I don't think we'll be going back. It needs more staff and more thought by the staff who are there. It's a shame because it used to be really good!

My daughter wanted the kids korma-Not available, my partner wanted the kebab chicken-Not available and my mother-in-law wanted the scampi-Not available. Also more staff needed on the bar as service was quite slow. Loved the QR code on the table to order food as the bar queue was enormous-Great feature 👍 Lovely outdoor area for the adults in the beer garden and a fantastic play area for the kids with a climbing frame, rickity rackity bridge and a metal slide.

Also, offered us and others free pub quiz, can win money etc too. Didn't partake because we wanted to play pool instead, £1.50 a go. They had a large TV too, so watched some French Olympics.

I would give 3 and 1/2 stars but that’s not an option so upgraded to 4 star. The pub seems to gone back 12 months, in a good way!! It’s back to its best in my opinion, the only small issues for me are the food still ain’t great, onion rings are not good at all, the fish I had recently was rock hard, the sweet potato fries were cold and the rice with the curry was hard. Shame really as the last few visits had been ok. It’s not put me off but a bit more attention to the kitchen would be advantageous.

Decent food at a reasonable price. The place was fuller than expected due to kids eating for a quid during school holidays.

Plenty of parking spaces.

The meals we ordered were nice, well cooked and well presented. One meal came out with wrong items on but this was corrected. Negatives: Tables and menus were dirty, a member of staff did come a wipe the table. No napkins. It was disappointing that people are allowed to take dogs in the place. Trying to have a pleasant evening with dogs barking is not great. Doubt we'll go again.

Very disappointing. My wife and I for a Friday evening meal. First I was not asked if we had any allergies, also I was not advised of a long wait for food. After about 50 minutes our starter arrived, after I complained, my Breaded Mushrooms were well over cooked and arrived without the garlic mayonnaise or the chopped chives. Our Burgers when they arrived were also over cooked, the outside was burnt to a crust and the inside was very dry. We complained to the waitress but no action taken. Very unappetising. Would not recommend and we will not be returning.

When i walked in it was filthy, loads of empty tables with plates it didn’t look appeasing.

Even the toilet was filthy whilst I was throwing up which kinda made it worse. I can safely say I won’t be returning

The one bad thing about living in Harborne (three miles away) is there is no Wetherspoon. The William Shenstone has, over the years, increasingly become my once or twice a week regular pub. I'm at odds with a previous reviewer who said "been to one you've been to them all". The real ale selection is more discerning than most Wetherspoons, there is usually at least one strong pale ale such as Thornbridge Jaipur IPA. And often the dark, rich Theakstons Old Peculier. My favourite drink is real cider such as Westons Old Rosie or the sweeter Thistly Cross, one of which is available most of the time. And at the time of writing it's a very reasonable £3 a pint, a full pound cheaper than at the Briar Rose and Figure of Eight in Birmingham city centre. Can't comment on the food as I only eat out on holiday. It's somewhat smaller than most Wetherspoons, so has a more cosy atmosphere. The staff are pleasant and efficient. So what's not to like?
