Went for a lovely walk in woods opposite and were looking forward to a coffee on our return as sign said open for food to be greeted by a rather unfriendly “owner” who abruptly informed us we couldn’t just park in his empty car park! Explained that we had hoped to be popping in for a drink as sign said open and his response: well we’re not open and you can’t park here! Rather rude and if this is the level of customer service certainly won’t be trying the food. Happy Sunday

I loved the home made chips..but unfortunately my daughter went a few weeks ago and.. they no longer do real home cooked chips.. disappointed as the only other pub that does real home cooked chips is the plough.

First time here and I so wish it was on my doorstep (well nearly close) Came for lunch with friends/family after Alpaca walk, great welcome and attentive staff caring for you, had the best sausage and mash and it was hot 🔥 which made me happy as I hate cold food and that is my big bug bear but I didn't want my meal to end lol Would like to get back for your Sunday lunch. Still feel full up but after seeing pics I need to get a desert in next time :)

Here for a group Sunday lunch with approximately 50 people to be fed at once and the H&J rose to the occasion and I certainly heard nothing but praise from the attendees. Also, I really rather liked the look and feel of the pub itself as well as the restaurant and it very much struck me as somewhere I'd like to come back to for a pint and/or a meal. Well done guys.

Visiting friends who live locally. They had not visited since it had been taken over. What a beautiful pub….. the lounge was so comfortable. The dining area looked amazing. There is a sports bar area which looked very cosy and comfortable. The toilets were superb. Clean beyond words.(ladies will understand this comment)) When we visit again we will definitely come for Sunday lunch. We have found a gem!,,, thank you

To the owner, I suggest you either A, Have some music while customers are on hold. B, Train your staff in customer service. I strongly suggest you pick the latter. When a customer calls up to book a table for mothers day they do not want to hear in the background another member of staff huffing and puffing and say "why have they left it so late". It has nothing to do with any of your team why we have left it so late as a family. We will not be dining here now or in the future.

Came here with my partner last weekend and I can confidently say this was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. If you want hairy food, bad service and an awful smell of horse manure, this is the place for you! Waited a lifetime for our drinks and food to arrive, when they arrived I honestly wished they didn’t. No atmosphere, no class, I’ve seen better sights on the front lines of Iraq. Don’t bother wasting your money, get a glass of pond water and drink that it will be far more satisfying.

we decided to come a drive over as we seen an abundance of good reviews and was shocked to see the place all shut up when we arrived ! considering pubs have been shut for so long we didnt expect the place to be shut midweek. there was another couple with the same opinion as us who was getting in there vehicle to leave having said they had also tried the previous day but was also shut.we decided to come over in the week as weve seen it gets quite loud and busy at weekends and me and my wife just like a country pub to visit midweek for a quiet drink. but luckily for us we came across The Rose Inn in the next village. So was not a wasted journey after all. we will be back ....but to The Rose Inn

We decide to drive out (it was the first Saturday after lockdown was lifted). We entered the garden and asked how service was being carried out. She asked us to take a table and someone would be with us. We waited 40 minutes before we got up and left. The waitress was clearly drunk and was drinking her wine from the tray she was carrying around . We asked twice how much longer we needed to wait, both times the 2 mins didn’t materialise. Very poor organisation from a service point and a very unprofessional drunken waitress!

We visited the Horse and Jockey on numerous occasions since they reopened and have been blown away by the friendly service and incredible atmosphere every time. I recommended the venue to both my friends and family who agreed and loved it's versatility and welcoming atmosphere.The pub has undergone some much needed modernisation but retains it's homely, local vibe, making it overall just a wonderful place to be. It has been understandably busy on the weekends so if that's not your thing I'd recommend visiting during the week when you can really appreciate the pubs peaceful setting in the beautiful Atherstone countryside

Visited this pub a number of times and got more than expected, a country pub, hospitable, good beer. What I didn’t expect was the quality of the food which was outstanding. The world has changed due to the COVID pandemic and establishments such as this have suffered with lockdowns. Like many people I welcomed the re-opening of pubs to get out and return to a level of normality. I was also wary of the risk of mixing socially, yes we have vaccines etc. but these are in their infancy. So I chose a pub on the outskirts that has outdoor space. I was surprised to see how much this establishment had changed. Entertainment was provided with noise levels that made me thankful I was not a local. The food is average and I was even treated to a display of fisticuffs not usually associated with this pub. I understand that pubs have suffered due to the lockdown and need to replenish their profits but they should not rely on a fast buck as a business plan. The clientele I saw were not the usual and I suspect that as pubs welcome punters back inside then the novelty of visiting this one will diminish. It would be advisable to realise that it will be the locals, when this happens, that will be the lifeblood of this Pub. In summary, if you want to visit a pub in Atherstone with good food, professionally run, that has busted a gut to keep you safe, go to the Kings Head, or for a poor mans Glastonbury with average food and the odd boxing match then this is the place for you.

First meal out since restrictions have been lifted and have to say we were so disappointed. Organisation was really poor, no signage or staff available to inform of process for ordering, had to ask multiple staff members, multiple times for menus/drinks and many tables were completely forgotten about. When another table asked for menus, they were told by the staff member "You'll have to ask someone else, I'm doing something". We weren't even sure who were staff as no-one was wearing any kind of uniform. I'm all for casual uniforms but think wearing jogging bottoms to work is a little unprofessional. When we did finally order our meals were brought out, no cutlery was offered (good job we ordered burgers!) asked for sauces and napkins which were never given (had to leave and get wipes from my car!). Food was mediocre pub grub at best. Whilst I totally appreciate that Covid restriction are tricky, especially predicting business with the unpredictable British weather but it really is no excuse for the poor service we received.

Very disappointed, the staff are Great but the Sunday Carvery which is not a Carvery was not so Great. There is a yellow purée all around the plate which turns out to be veg purée which like it or not you get,no choice and the roast potatoes were rock hard.

A special thank you for being especially fabulous with our 7 year old an offering her a taster of the double choc chip ice cream, when she struggled to choose from the sweets. Needless to say you have her solid approvable.

Went camping here for two days and had a meal in the restaurant on the last day . The food is basic and served on small oblong plates to make you think you are getting more than you actually are. The staff have no idea of social distancing and at one point practically leaning over you. The camping side is just a field with Central electric hook up one toilet for each sex and no showers only a small outside sink next to a urinal. But management seemed to have no clue about the camping side only seemed to be interested in the pub side of things. They threw a family party in a marquee next to were campers were trying to sleep with around two hundred attending and loud music blaring till one the loud shouting and goings on till around three. When I spoke about it to the manager the next day the response was that we were warned about the event which is untrue and accusing me of lying and tough basically with a terrible attitude.As new owners you think they would try to please customers but there inexperience shone through.best advise drive past.

We went for a meal Wednesday night to make use of the new government scheme. We were served by two lovely girls Mia and Cordelia who took our order quickly and were very friendly. They did seem very understaffed as both of them were rushed off their feet all night which did affect the service quality (For example cutlery and condiments came out after the dinner so we had to wait for them) Even though the food is cooked fresh it did take a long while to come out. When it did come out it was very delicious. However the deserts weren’t the best. Very small selection of about 4 puddings to choose from at quite expensive prices. 2 scoops of Ice cream for £5 is a bit steep especially when it didn’t taste nice and both adults and children get the same portion amount. Drinks were nice as always!4/5 - Food5/5 - Staff5/5 - DrinksAll in all a very lovely meal and friendly staff. The place has great potential with new owners. Will be returning soon!

Lovely pub, very welcoming, staff pleasant and polite. We both had Sunday lunch and starters, the soup and goats cheese salad were lovely! The beef and gravy on the roast were great, plenty of roast potatoes, although the veg portions are tiny, all couples around us asked for another one including us, one piece of cauliflower between two is tight, for how much veg costs, it should cone with one each really. Only other gripe was the Yorkshire puddings, whilst frozen ones are okay, a chef should make their own for the little effort they take to make. We would return and would recommend, would just be nice to see those couple of easy changes made.

Firstly be aware that older reviews refer to a different regime. Chalk and Cheese! I had vowed never to return, the previous landlady was so rude and unwelcoming. Thankfully the contrast to today couldn't be more marked. We have been here just for drinks, lunch with a Walking Group and some Evening Meals. Always a nice welcome with a good choice of well-kept hand pulled beers. Our last visit was for an evening meal with a couple of friends. All well pleased with their choices. My starter, a Field Mushroom with Stilton was excellent and the best I can remember having. Just one mushroom but large and thick. With a side of chips it could have been a lunchtime meal. For main it was Faggot and Peas on mashed potato. Superb faggot but where were the peas? A substantial quantity of what appeared to be traditional soaked peas (Like my Grandma used to do!) hiding under the excellent gravy, that's where.Booking strongly recommended particularly towards the weekend and a necessity if you want to try the Sunday Lunch.

Visited as a group of 5. We had a choice of the Christmas or main menu. There were a couple of dishes that were not available but we were made aware as we were given the menu's. All the starters, mains and desserts we ordered were delicious and well presented. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Great selection of Gins and bar staff were really helpful and knowledgeable to help me pick a new one to try. A firm favourite and will be back again soon.

Our first visit but certainly not our last. This is a cosy country pub offering really good value freshly cooked Sunday lunches. Although it was very busy when we visited (we had difficulty finding somewhere to park), once inside we were soon shown to our table and how the carvery system worked. The carvery offered typical Sunday fare but the locally sourced meat and freshly cooked vegetables made the difference.

We ate at the Horse and Jockey a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday. I phoned them during the week to check if they do vegan food on a Sunday or just carvery. Although they only do carvery on a Sunday (and the meat is locally sourced), they were happy (with notice) not only to make a vegan casserole - which was very tasty - but also to have a vegan choice of starter! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

We visited as part of a group of 6. Staff were really friendly and helpful on arrival and we were seated in the room with the real fire so nice and warm. Food order was taken and we were made aware of 30 minute wait on the pie but as we were ordering starters we wouldn't actually see much of a delay. Starters arrived and we're all well presented and appetising. Mains were also excellent. Whilst eating our mains there was a power cut but staff were quick to come and check on us and bought extra lighting in. We still were able to order desserts which were again well presented and delicious. As a group we had several special requests and it was no problem at all. Can't wait to visit again, many thanks

Stopped at the pub for and drink and some food after NEC show. Unfortunately no bar food and restaurant fully booked. However bar was comfortable with real fire. Staff very friendly. Enjoyed the Bass and Pedigree beers whilst the ladies enjoyed the variety of gins.

Went here about 5-6 years ago, when there were different owners. The place was not the most welcoming and I voted with my feet.

A well presented pub with a really friendly and handy campsite, most welcoming, with a great selection of Wines and Ale.

We love the carveries at this pub which are provided every Sunday. The menu rotates so the meats are different each week. During the rest of the week, there is an alternative menu with plenty of choice to suit all tastes. The staff are friendly and make everyone feel really welcome. This is such a lovely old building with lots of character. There is also a beer garden and plenty of room for children to play.

Always been a friendly little bar when we've popped in for a drink. Decided to try the Sunday carvery and we weren't disappointed. Great food, pleasant staff and a chef who went above and beyond (vegetarian friendly). Would definitely recommend.

First time we have been to the Horse and Jockey but it will not be the last. Friendly welcome by the staff and a good choice of food and decent beer. Food really well presented and very tasty.

The Jockey is our regular haunt and if I could write a review every week I would do so. We held a wake there for my late wife, and as always everything was spot on. Happy smiling faces on our arrival made us forget our sadness, great service tasty food and drinks satisfied our appetites. The venue itself has plenty of character and the beer garden is big enough to hold quite a large number of people. To top it all they even organised fantastic weather! (Perhaps...) Thank you guys for doing us proud and for making our world a happier place.

Arrived to a warm welcome have eaten here on several occasions the staff are always friendly with nothing too much effort the main reason we continue to come back is the consistent excellent standard of the food weather it be a carvery like today or a fine steak cooked to perfection the beef soup starter and whiskey ice cream Sunday were perfection itself I am confident you will not be disappointed

Stayed on their campsite adjacent to the pub/restaurant, which is a lovely flat field with electric hook up. The food served was fantastic, I had vegetable lasagne which at some places can be a bland oily experience, not here though, really tasty and beautifully presented I can honestly say it was the best lasagne I've tasted. Their beers as always are good, well kept and have a decent selection including local beer from down the road at church end brewery. Staff polite and really friendly, the whole place has a great atmosphere. Will definitely return and would urge anyone to visit.

Booked a table for 10 for Sunday lunch via email well in advance. Food was tasty and not over cooked and very good value for money. Plenty of vegetables to choose from and delicious cauliflower cheese. Puddings were excellent too, although they had sold out of many of the ‘specials’. Polite, attentive staff.

2nd recent visit, this time to celebrate neighbours forthcoming 80th birthday. Food and service was even better than our first visit (if at all possible!) and both our neighbours were astounded at the size, choice and quality of the portions of food. Service very attentive and lovely area to sit and relax after the meal finished. Have already booked for another meal. Highly recommended and well worth a visit

This is a lovely place to go for Sunday lunch. The food is always served hot and delicious and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a very homely atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable! Especially on the area up the step. Would recommend to friends and family

We stayed at the marriot as a party of 6 and booked into the restaurant for our evening meal.Firstly let me just say that this review is not a critique of the few staff who struggled to make the evening work but of the restaurant management who left the restaurant so terribly understaffed. Upon arrival we where shown to our table in the centre of an incredibly brightly lit room..no table cloth..no place mats ..just cutlery ..then the harried waitress said that due to lack of staff it would be quicker if we ordered our own drinks from the bar and carried them through to the restaurant. The restaurant was chaotic and it felt at times like it could all erupt in chaos at any moment ( I can only imagine the madness of what was going on behind the scenes).The food arrived ..my £20 burger and fries was on a par with a wethetspoons effort..my sons £20 veggie burger was just slices of uncooked haloumi in a bun and my wife's fish was merely tepid..didn't have the heart to mention this to the waitress as it looked like that kind of comment would have resulted in aprons being thrown to the floor and staff going home....I felt sorry for a couple who looked like they where trying to have a romantic meal in a room that looked like it was offering emergency relief to the needy. We ate in the restaurant the next morning and that was a different story ..a lovely start to the day which was much needed after the overpriced wetherspoons the night before...

Visited The Red Lion after recommendations and wasn't disappointed! From entering the hostelry and having a lovely warm and smiling welcome from Molly, we were promptly shown to our table. The restuarant was warm and cosy and spotlessly clean with all the waiting staff dressed smartly in a distinct uniform. Yes there was a little wait but the service and the food was amazing. We had the triple meats roast and couldn't fault the quality of the food, the portions nor how hot it was. We will certainly visit again as this is the best Sunday roast we've had in the Tamworth area since teturning 'home' to live in exactly 1 year .... simply the best ...

Visitamos esta noche con mi novia. Tuve una lasaña increíble, mi novia tenía un pastel de pollo la comida era de primera clase y bien vale la pena el precio que pagamos. Las raciones son geniales y sin duda adecuado para aquellos con un buen apetito. El servicio fue excelente, sin duda se lo recomendaría a cualquiera. En general, una noche fantástica, con ganas de regresar pronto ...
