Went for Sunday lunch. I had the roast which was just edible & my partner had the steak which was the worst she’d ever had. It was full of gristle & completely inedible. When I complained to the waiter he just shrugged his shoulders & walked away. If you value terrible service & dreadful food, come to the park gate inn. You won’t be dissapointed!

Great meal here last night we all had steak which was cooked exactly to each of our likings. This is probably a first that this has happened in a Marston's pub so fair play! Service was brilliant from the start we were greeted with a smile and the waitress was very attentive and helpful. Lovely outside area for when the weather is nice which hopefully for them it will be this weekend. Glad we visited and will be back soon highly recommend other people check it out too.

Lunch out with a friend, happy to see that there was a Light Lunch option. I had the Hunters chicken- very nice. Then had jam sponge+ custard, which again was very nice, but not nearly enough custard served with it. We asked for more( which incurred an extra charge!) I know of other pubs where they will just give you a bit extra

We had an awful meal.The pub was practically empty but we still waited 45 minutes for our meal, and when it came my sons Buttermilk chicken was burnt to a crisp, there was more fat than gammon On the 4oz gammon, and everyone's Chips were coated in specks of black burned oil.It was like they haven't cleaned out the fryers in a long time it was disgraceful. We all left our chips and the fatty gammon.And complained to the lady at the bar who kindly took 20% off our bill and whispered to us that they are having problems with the chef. I'm sorry, but that is not good enough.Get a new chef. We were sat near the bar and 2 other tables also complained about quality of their food- rock hard vegetables, uncooked potatoes, food missing, etc. There was an elderly couple waiting to pay at the bar, and they must have waited for someone to turn up for over 10 minutes.There was nobody behind that bar serving anybody it was ridiculous. It's an absolute shambles , and you need to get in there and sort it out.

do not recommend this place for food, the children’s food came out with hair in the mash and on the plate, we told who i believe was Amanda that there was hair in the food and she didn’t apologise nor really care. the loaded fries was cold, mango chutney from the chicken tikka masala was frozen, and the chicken was dry. we paid £3 extra for some chips and the portion wasn’t good at all. there wasn’t a designated smoking area so whilst we was eating our food we had smoke blown into our faces and food, with young children eating is not acceptable.

I can't thank the lovely team at The Park Gate Inn enough for accommodating our 80th Birthday meal for my dad, and for being so laid back and at ease with how demanding we were. Food quality was brilliant, everything came out quick and piping hot. None of us had a bad word to say! We've enjoyed many meals here over the years, and this is certainly at the top of my list to date. Thank you ever so much everyone, you all worked so hard with how busy it was, and still found the time to make us feel like the only customers in the pub.

Family Sunday lunch with our daughter Emma and family. Jill and myself had the gammon, cooked to perfection. All meals were tasty and good value. Staff were friendly and helpful. Revist Sunday 19th. Our order was taken incorrectly at the till. We ordered an adult fish and chips. Childrens fish fingers and chips supplied. To make matters worse we were told bad luck, we are busy so you will have to wait some time for replacement. We like to eat together, so my wife was forced to eat the child's meal. No apology or offer of recompense. We noticed other diners having issues also

Update: We gave the park gate another chance, and I'm sorry to this time the overall experience was worse alot worse, according to the Marston web site they open at 11am and start to serve food at 11.30am, well this is certainly not the case as we were told by one of the staff, we open at 11.30am and serve food from 12.00pm!! So as it was hot outside we waited inside by the bar for the next 20 minutes or so, now gone 11.30 someone finally took our order. Now this is one thing but the look we got for waiting inside was something else, we got the impression they didnt like us waiting inside and we should have waited outside, well if you updated website with the correct opening times then this wont happen would it. And to the food, small portions of cheap food which they charge a fortune for. Certainly not happy with the quality of the food, small portions and the prices charged, 2 burgers, hunters chicken and 3 soft drinks £34!! And that's with a 30% discount!!! The only thing that is any good is the chips, but the rest of it no.. Suffice to say I WILL NOT BE GOING HERE AGAIN!!! I've always liked the Park Gate pub but I haven't visited in a while, the last time we went 2 meals and drinks were about £20ins pounds, now I know everything has gone up but we ordered fish and chips, burger and 2 drinks and that came to over £30.... and the size of the portions are now very small my burger looked like a child's meal and the fish and chips well there was hardly any fish it was mostly batter. The pub is also getting very tired and could with being redecorated. But as I say I do like the park gate and its a lovely place to have a drink in the summer they just need to reduce their prices a bit, how about a sending some third off vouchers like they do sometimes.

The 2 members of staff here were working so hard and the drinks were fine but the food was a completely different story. Long delays for food to arrive, nachos starter was cold, mains were over so cooked; chips covered in black burned pieces, burgers so well done they were almost inedible. It was the worst meal we've had out in a long while. Will not be returning here!

On the day when we arrived we were informed that they had no grill on so no steaks, mixed grills, gammon, which was disappointing as 2 of us had purposely chose the park gate cos we wanted to try the steak.. When the meals came out one had got numerous human hairs on the plate under the chips but didn't say anything as would have had to wait for another meal to be brought out. Otherwise was a nice evening staff pleasant and helpful.

I booked a table as I had received a 30% discount code. We arrived and it was quite busy, we waited for someone to be available to seat us. We were warmly greeted but told we could sit anywhere the table reserved for us had been taken by others. ? A table was cleaned and made ready for us. I am a vegetarian and happy with the choice of starters but only burger or chilli for mains. I chose chilli and it was good. We had desert and paid as I left I asked if there was any point in booking and tge reply was no, they move the signs and sit down anyway. Very sad.

My wife and I used to use this pub for lunch with no complaints in the past ,so as my son and his wife where over from Australia i decided to book a table for Sunday Lunch ( big mistake ). All four of us where very dissapointed, ( this place had changed for the worse ). Some meals were not available to order from the Sunday lunch menu. The table was so scratched up and marked it was possibly harbouring all sorts of germs and viruses . We had to swap empty condiments from the next table as our were mostly empty. When we did get our food we were all very UNIMPRESSED . The steak was ordered as medium - well done , i,m sure if you had put some jump leads on it , it would have come back to life , it was almost raw and the plate was full of blood . The fries where very hard possibly been re-fried from earlier in the day. The plates where of child size obviously to make more money. All in all extremely unimpressed and overpriced, hence no tip was left. A total embarrassment to my wife and i , we will never use this place again for Sunday Lunch.

Some of the food that was ordered didn’t arrive, mine was appalling especially the way it was thrown onto the table, another table in my party were still waiting for their mains when others had finished and I had to go to the manager and get it out of the kitchen where you could tell it had been sitting for a wiile One person in my party ordered lasagne and chips and they forgot the chips They didn’t have the right ingredients for a mixed grill(no eggs) or any peppercorn sauce for the steak No mustard was on offer after us as we had the last 3 sachets The manager was helpful and provided us with a round of drinks and a couple of puddings for the kids Which I then had to go and remind him because they had been forgotten All in all for celebrating my marriage with people who couldn’t come to the ceremony it was not the best time and we will not be going to a marstons again

Food was brilliant, cooked properly, hot, presented well and also very quick. The only negative feedback we could offer is that they had run out of Apple Crumble for dessert (we required 3 portions). We were told this was because it was the most popular dessert - well, if that’s the case, PLEASE ENSURE YOU ORDER MORE THAN YOU ANTICIPATE selling in future. Also, the extortionate cost of £7 for a tiny little bottle of alcohol-free wine was disgusting! Unfortunately, we won’t be hurrying to visit again anytime soon. Shame really because it was a great pub a few years ago.

Didn't have the bottle of red Hardy's Main Road wine I wanted but they could've offered an alternative at the price of the one requested as a gesture. £1.80 for half a glass of lemonade to go with gin, so that's expensive. We ordered wings and cheese dips for starters which were lovely but definitely not worth £5.50 each. Only 5 wings and 4 cheese dippers. Ran out of mixed grills (this also happened on our previous visit) however the lady came over and offered to make 2 mixed grills up using a steak and gammon, which we accepted. However, the chips and onion rings were very greasy, but the rest of the meal was nice and perfectly cooked. I do understand that the Park Gate doesn't set the prices, so Marston needs to add more value, especially with the starters. Staff were great and tried very hard to accommodate regarding the food.

We ordered 4 meals one of which was the Lasagne. My wife got half way through and found a piece of plastic film in the middle. No issues with the other 3 meals. Bought it to the waitresses attention and she apologised and offered to replace it in full. I was told to speak to the manager at the bar and they would off us something complimentary but we decided against that and just left after our meals were finished. Also not able to use blue light discount was a bit disappointing as you can use it pretty here 99% of the rest of the year.

I was in Blackpool recently for the weekend and the lager in most pubs we went in was well under £3 a pint. I do not expect to pay premium prices in a brewery owned pub, especially when pubs such as Wetherspoons can undercut them by a considerable amount and other non brewery owned pubs as well. The Wetherspoons pub in Stourbridge is full most days, which reflects the reasonable pricing for food and beer. The food prices in Marston's pubs are also on the high side, but the food was mostly quite good and the service was good. If pubs are to survive they need to be competitive with regards to pricing and not charge through the nose....£3.10 for half a coke is very expensive in my view and the beer is too expensive...well over £5 per pint for Guinness is crazy. It's a nice enough pub, but well overpriced.
