Marston's in Wyre Forest

Cosy pub with three real ales. Good service.

Have to say the experience was something of a mixed bag, but one thing that shone out was the attitude of the barmaid, who was superb. Our initial drinks (beer) were rather cloudy and tended towards sour. The barrel was changed and all was good. On food, I opted for the pie of the day, a boeuf bourginon variant with mash and veg. The veg were roasted and very good, both texture and flavour. The pie was very small and of disproportionate pastry amount. What filling there was, was tasty but did not constitute a main meal portion.

I have visited this restraunt a couple of times now and have had a poor expirence both times. They were very quiet whe we arrived however there were multiple dirty tables which were dirty for the majority of our visit and we were there for almost 3 hours. Considering they were so quiet the service was shocking. We waited for ages for someone to come over and take our order once someone did our drinks ks arrived failry quickly. We didn't wait too long for our mains. There was no check back provided for the entirety of our meal and it wasn't until the waitress finally came to clear our plates that we were able to inform them of a problem with one of our parties meals and the response from the waitress was that she would let the kitchen know and it was a known problem with this dish at the moment. No apology was given for this and one of our party had to leave hungry. We had planned to order desserts but after the length of time it took for the waitress to come back we decided to leave it please bare in kind there was only a handful of tables in at this point but no member of staff was to be seen. Apart from the manager who appeared to be more interested in sat at a table in the restraunt on the work laptop while there were tables dirty and customers being ignored. We finally got the bill and looking at it the meal we complained about was still on there and nothing had been said and still no apology. We asked for this to be removed as the meal was barely touched the waitress said she would go speak to the manager. I saw her go over to the bar and ask the manager then looked over at the table and glared at us and you could tell by his body language reluctantly took the meal off the bill along with the discretionary service charge as requested. We then paid the bill happily as the rest of the food was OK. But we still didn't recieve and apology. The restraunt for the entire time we were there on a Saturday afternoon did not have more than 5 tables in and if our experience is anything to go by it doesn't surprise me why the restraunts surround this one were busy on a Saturday and this one was dead. It's safe to say I won't be returning and it was supposed to a nice meal to celebrate my friends engagement which ended on a sour note.

Had lovely service from Kelly and Leah.
