Partner and I went for dinner this evening The waitress took our order we requested no coleslaw on either meal …we ordered one bottle of cider we were charged for two! Food arrived one meal with coleslaw ! Salad soaked in dressing and Luke warm chips … manageress did deduct 20% off the bill unfortunately we didn’t check receipt and didn’t notice we were charged for two ciders instead of one .. spoilt the evening out we won’t be going back again although we have dined here many times before without complaint.

Just returned home from the Sparrow at Ansty. We made a special request on our order of smothered chicken that we neither of us wanted coleslaw….need less to say that only one of us got what we requested, Luke warm chips and cold plates added to the disappointment. The Included salad was covered in salad dressing (why do they assume that everyone likes salad dressing). Our waitress kindly reduced the cost of the meal by 20% but went on to charge us double for drinks. Didn’t have my glasses on and only found that error on returning home.

When your table is spending almost £400 and you get slow service, stuff is missing from the order list and in some cases you're just ignored, it's not a great experience. Wouldn't recommend. The food wasn't good (my steak had clearly been cooked in a pan that was used for chicken for example). Bad experience

We happened to stop by for Sunday lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the food quality. The Sunday roast was fantastic, with perfectly cooked meat, crispy roast potatoes, and well-prepared vegetables. The portion size was just right—better than the overindulgence you often find at a carvery. The staff were attentive and made our visit enjoyable. However, the restaurant could use a deep clean. The seats and carpet were quite soiled, which took away from an otherwise great experience. With a bit more attention to cleanliness, this place could be even better.

Waited 45 mins for dinner plates to be removed, order dessert and more drinks. This only happened 10 mins after asking at bar for this to happen. Request was met with more couldn't care less attitude and excuses. But no apologies. Wont be visiting again which is a shame as the pub itself and surrounding area were beautiful. Just a shame about the staff.

Went here to attend a funeral,, so the catering was a buffet. Great value for variety of of cold and warm snacks available. Quite busy for a Monday afternoon. Staff were attentive and polite. Bar area was busy but didn't wait long for service. Only down side for me, was the car parking. You have to book in on arrival, and only one machine working so queued up 5min. And you book a full day. Which confused people, most people we looking for hours. But overall a very good experience.

This is a really nice pub to have a quiet meal, as it's out in the sticks a bit it doesn't get mega busy so there is always a table available, the staff are friendly and the food is decent. They have loads of offers, we usually go for the 2 melas for 11.99 as it's a bargain and there are plenty of choices on there we like. If you like somewhere a bit lively it's probably isn't for you but for a nice quiet meal, it's perfect

We were supposed to be having a meal at 17:30 but eventually received a lukewarm meal nearly two hours later with no apologies, A few of our party had ordered tomato soup but apparently they had run out ( ordered nearly at least 6 weeks prior) again no reasonable apology, The beer (not cask) was nearly £5 a pint with bottles the same, This is not a place to expect a decent meal for the price and don't bother getting a taxi as alcohol is priced off rhe menu and soft drinks just as expensive giving no reason to abstain , I definitely will not be taking my wife for a meal here after the abysmal service and extortionate prices.

We arrived and were seated by the doors. It was freezing cold and kept our coats on. We had the festive menu and there was no tomato soup starters. The meat was lovely but the roast potatoes, stuffing balls, sprouts and carrots I thought had been re heated from the Christmas Day leftovers!!! Our mains were bought to us and we had to pinch cutlery from the table next to us as the person who bought us out meals just disappeared as I believe there were just 2 of them serving the whole restaurant…. We will not be returning again as we were disappointed on our last visit too.

We regularly visit this cafe as we walk round Draycote Water regularly for exercise. We usually call in for coffee and cake or a bowl of their lovely home made soup. (The scones, jam and cream are to die for). Today we had the 3 course Xmas lunch which we had booked a few weeks ago. They do several sittings in the run up to Xmas, some are carol concert dinners, others music from the musicals, jazz dinners etc. We had ham hock terrine, turkey with all the trimmings and black forest trifle (the latter was amazing, laced with Kirsch and full of cherries and chocolate) delicious! Service, as always was prompt and courteous. Can highly recommend this cafe all year round, the Xmas meal was excellent and great value too.
