Sketchley's Club in Worcester

I visited the Worcester Christmas Market on Saturday, which was very busy, so we decided to go for lunch, so we popped into Mode for a carvery and a drink. The food is really nice and plentiful.the prices are reasonable and friendly staff.

The staff are miserable. I have been several times to buy cakes.Their cakes are good,trifles synthetic, hot food quite good for meat eaters but why oh why have the staff not been able to smile and converse in a service industry way. Are they on slave labour wages or just not trained or all depressed?

Went here for our wedding anniversary meal. My husband's steak was fine. My vegan pasta dish came with normal parmesan cheese on ( I am checked it was vegan before I ordered and it clearly stated vegan on the menu), replaced with weak bland tomato soup with pasta in, that was taken away and replaced with the other vegan option of burger and chips. Picked the burger up and it literally dripped a pool of oil/water onto the wooden board it came on. No sauce dressing which it said on the menu. The waiter and manager were very polite and professional. Chef needs retraining or sacking! I ended up with a Tesco meal deal in the hotel room. Avoid if vegan

We took friends here last year and had an amazing meal. Decided to go back. Food was rather dry with very little gravy on the Sunday roast. Parsnip was a little under cooked. Staff were friendly enough but not the best food and probably won’t return.

I only go for the quiz. I've been going for a few years to this pub. It was refurbished about 10years ago, but it's now looking very tired and needs more investment. The toilets are awful, and need a full refurb, the bar is OK, but the flooring is uneven and has some hardboard down where there is clearly a problem. There are better pubs in Worcester now. The food is average for pub food. It's not fine dining.
