The Longwood in Lichfield

Quiet Tuesday evening meal. Very nice food, good portion sizes, wide range of menu options. Very nice and friendly staff, quick service. Background music kept at a nice level so conversations can still be held while also providing entertainment. Very good pub!

Lovely atmosphere this evening and Oliver made me a top notch Aperol spritz

Lovely food , and friendly manager who introduced me to a new gin , worth a visit .

Lovely welcome. Staff friendly and approachable. Food was cooked well. Nice spacious establishment. Will definately be back.

We came here for a roast dinner and I truly can't put into words how bad it was, as soon as it came to the table it looked unappetising so I knew before tasting it. The Yorkshire puddings were like uncooked pancake mixture, the meat was warmed up sandwich meat, potatoes tasted like powdered smash, carrots had dirty skin and were shown to the pan. I'm a widow and this was a meal on a date which should have been special. I was given a refund to be fair, followed by the manager going into the kitchen laughing with the kitchen staff. I don't think I'd bother again they seem to have lost their love for the Longwood which is quite sad.

Great customer service and a lovely atmosphere

This was my 90 year olds Grandads choice of places to eat. He has been going to the longhorn for many years and wanted us to try. He has good taste !!! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Our server Emma was an angel. She made us laugh and feel special. Food was great, price fair (big portions) and they let my mom order a desert of the kids menu which a lot of places don’t allow. Will be returning next month to do it all again!

Dropped in as the sat nab bought us here to EV charge so made sense to pop in while we waited. Lovely welcoming atmosphere so we decided to stay for food, certainly a good choice! For pub grub, this definitely excelled, the taste and portions were good, deffo give them a try if you are in the area & need a charge! Oh to add, vegan veggie options ...so good, more than the 'one' burger option! The vegan nachos and cauli kebab is delish, highly recommended

Nice atmosphere comfortable and friendly staff

It was a great place to come and have a meal with friends or family. The place itself was amazing and the staff was very friendly indeed. Worth visiting this place again.

Friendly staff and Kristal is a diamond 💎 ✨️

The Longwood is a really friendly pub. We feel comfortable to come regularly and the staff are welcoming and friendly. The food has vastly improved and there is now more staff to cope with the busy days, so wait times have reduced.

Was recently let down by another venue to hold a Baby Shower, Longwood let us turn with 30 minutes notice and hold it there. So accommodating and all the staff were super friendly. Venue and atmosphere was perfect, thank you James & Crystal and team for helping us out.

We had a baby shower at the Longwood, it was a lovely day. Food was great and the staff were super friendly

Great food , great service, friendly helpfull staff , definitely would recommend ! .

Went for evening meal, Staff are always welcoming & food service was really quick. Meals were great and great prices too as we subscribe to the email offers! Got 30% off Definitely recommend x

Lovely to see the vegan options, nachos and tart with vegan ice cream!

Food very tasty and hot. Staff friendly and very pleasant.

A group of us attended a leaving party last night (28/2/25) and in our group, my wife was the only person to eat fish and chips. At the time, she commented that it tasted like it has been cooked 3 times and not very nice. Today, we had to go to A&E as she wasn't feeling well with hot flushes and very painful stomach cramps. Unfortunately, on the way to hospital, she 'decorated' my car and spent the next 5 hours in A&E still throwing up. She had to get hydrated before she was allowed to leave and is now in bed feeling beat up! Drs said it was food poisoning from the fish. There is nothing we can do about complaining or discussing this with the longwood, so we have used this platform to check if anyone else felt ill from eating on the 28/2/25? Re Response: Food poisoning occurred within 72 hours! Gasto Dr diagnosed condition, especially with what she looked at in the bowl! Most defensive reply and not even asked after my wife's welfare!

Fantastic friendly atmosphere and staff, great food at great prices 5*****

Went on a Wednesday. Curry day. 2 curries were fine the other was just like a watery soup which dripped off the spoon

Cheesy Philly steak baguette was not as described. Steak was over done and chewy. Also missing items on this baguette. The Kids beef burger bun was cremated to the point it was just breaking into dust when you touched it. My child did not eat it. The garlic bread must have been cooked on a radiator, it was still soft white bread and not toasted in the slightest. Didn't enjoy any of it.

We came here over Christmas and the meals were not great. The hake dinners were nice. The Christmas turkey dinners were not good. The first plate was brought out and then we waited for a good five minutes before the next plate came out. So it was very slow service. The gravy came out another good five minutes after the turkey dinners. Then the pigs in blankets came out and they looked like they hadn't been cooked. It's such a shame as the year before the meals were great.

It was OK, that's all. The food was mediocre service, which was a little better. I wasn't interested in a locals sex life, but hey, ho, it takes all sorts.

A huge improvement over previous underwhelming and downright poor service. We stayed away for quite a while as the pub went though several poor quality managers. The last visit was great. Service was good, food came quickly, hot, good portions and together. No complaints. Well done on turning the place around.

Food was great and service was excellent.

Staff polite, friendly and welcoming. Meal was lovely. I'd met up with friends from Cannock. It was their 1st visit and all of them said they would be happy to meet up again here. Thank you

Just got back from having a Christmas dinner. The food was delicious, so well cooked. Staff friendly and attentive. 3 courses was £17.99 so a brilliant price, would recommend

Friendly staff nice pub wouldn't have a Sunday roast there again though the veg was raw and the meal was overly microwaved and the small boat of gravy was like water, the pub was empty and waited approx 30 minutes for the meal

Had a great experience at The Longwood, booked for a family meal, food was great value for money and they have just had a new menu with some lovely dishes. Received great service from James and Courtney! We will be back!

Krystal and Seb were both very attentive to us last night. We shared a beef sloppy Joe pizza which arrived quickly and was delicious.

A lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere. Food is great and Henry in particular is a great, helpful and friendly at the bar. He also is a great bingo caller!

Good service by Seb and Crystal. Had the chicken platter which was really nice and cooked by Courtney.

Amazing dining experience and loved the new menu items, big thank you to the chef Courtney and our servers Kristal and James

Friendly local. Food well priced - pub grub. A couple of decent beers.

For the money the food is very good, lunch menu average price 7.50p evening menus average around 12 pound. Good parking.

Popped in for lunch on Saturday 25th nice staff warm welcome also and James made us feel welcome and at home also we had a nice meal hope to see you soon from Steve and Michele from Bedfordshire

Nice atmosphere & food was OK when it arrived. Took an age to arrive due to what seemed shortage of staff. Chips slightly cold & had to wait again for sauces.

Lovely food cooked by the lovely Courtney, great atmosphere, fabulous service from Kristal, Jo and James thanks guys!

Really enjoyed our meals. The staff were really nice Kristal was lovely and explained everything and chef Courtney cooked our food to perfection. The chips were gorgeous!

We are new to the area, drove past a few times. Came in for a family meal. £65 later we then waited 45 mins just for 2 small starters to arrive then another 45 for our mains for them to come and my children looking at their plates asking where there food is one child's comment was 'I get better meals at school' Very very disappointed.

Came for a meal with the grandkids. Food was lovely, hot and came out quickly. Big improvements since the new management took over. Will be back again.

The food was great and the service from Kristal, Seb, Luke the chef and Ezra was awesome, will come again.

Really nice meal definitely go again the batterd fish was awesome

We had a lovely family meal in the Longwood today. Steak cooked as requested, all food was fresh and delicious. We had a 30% off voucher so it was great value for money. Service was excellent, all staff were friendly and helpful. Joanna was particularly lovely and gave great service. Looking forward to returning.

Fantastic food, can not fault the food. Price, portion size, quality, presentation & service all top class. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and friendly but highly professional service

We went to The Longwood and once again we were greeted by Colette who has served us before . She was really friendly and courteous, she checked my Blue Light Card that gave us a discount on our meal .We didn't have to wait long as the bar was quite quiet . When our meals arrived we were delighted with them . The cod was huge and beer battered and crispy , as were the chips . So a thank you to duty chef Courtney too . Excellent customer service from Collette and Courtney, thank you . We will see you soon .

Was terrible food ask for medium rare steak got well done and the portion size was small and so not worth the money at all will not be returning and staff were terrible and didn’t care when told

The place is beautiful, the employees are very cheerful, they worked very well under pressure, they managed to please everyone. It's our first experience in a New Year's Pub, it wasn't too bad. But the music could be different, it's possible to dance to it, more exciting, I didn't expect popular or manele😂😂 but there's a lot of party music in English too. But in the end we managed to have a wonderful time with wonderful people, we went to feel good, where we had the table, I liked it, it was more on the booth, we were noisier anyway. All in all, price-quality turned out well. Thanks to all of them for the service and hospitality provided. P.S. Now don't be mean, but through this feedback we help others, the men's bathroom was flooded, there was water up to the ankles, I don't know what happened, but I was amazed, considering the place looks f good and e great.

Nice food and staff. Booked for Christmas Eve meal. 2024 Christmas Eve at The Longwood again. Thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas fayre menu with lovely moist turkey and good veggies.

Just enjoyed a lovely Christmas Day lunch. We had 4 children with us and were made to feel really welcome. Service & food excellent and all the staff were so friendly. Thank you all so much.

Breakfast with Santa was a lovely experience for the kids and the staff went all out to fuss the little ones and it felt like a really festive morning

Fabulous meal, nice and hot service good.

The festive menu was not out on the table to view despite being online. The bread roll that came with the soup was hard enough to be a missile and ineddible, but the soup was nice, and hot. I ordered the festive burger which was very nice, but the fires were very over cooked and ineddible. As is normally the case a colleague did come to check all was well, but this was within a couple if minutes of the food arriving so we did not have time to check the meals. I did provide verbal feedback to the guy on the bar, who did not seem overly bothered.

Went Saturday and took partners dad for a birthday meal. Got told half anhour wait on food which is fine. Half an hour came and went, asked again and was told it won't be long. Another half an hour went, asked again and was told it was being plated up. Another 15mins later and food eventually came to us. Chicken was dry, steak was tough and the spicy burger had no spices on it. After waiting 1 hour and 15muns, didn't see the point in mentioning the food to the staff in case we had to wait another hour to get it rectified. Usually this pub has good food and good service but not this day. Disappointing birthday meal.

Went for our Christmas lunch today,dinner cold,so disappointed, wouldn't eat there again, the dessert however was very hot!!

We have booked a party of 20 on festive menu. Great choice of food, very helpful and friendly staff all the way from the enquiry through booking process and on the day. Very decent price, couldn't fault it. Lovely Christmas decorations, there was a live band from 9pm. Overall very happy and we will definitely be back next year.

Great choice of food, staff were friendly and happy to assist. Warm and clean atmosphere too 😌

The food is wonderful and the atmosphere was amazing, 10/10 staff that accommodated to our every need :)

Always pretty empty in this pub which is our local.food is what you'd expect.. pretty cheap and cheerful

It was busy so we had to wait but the staff were lovely and very apologetic.

Had a 3 course Christmas dinner here , very good value for £19.99 served nice & hot . . Friendly staff served us at the bar & at the table. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a good Xmas dinner 👍

My Wife and I went on Wednesday afternoon. The pub was really clean and warm on one of the coldest nights of the year. We sat down and ordered our meals , The surf & turf was the best that I’ve ever had and my Wife’s cod and chips looked amazing. Thanks to a great team, and we are going back next week.

Came here for lunch, definitely coming here again, staff are polite and very helpful, food was really nice, I had fish and chips, if you've not been here then it's definitely worth a visit.

Went in for lunch with the family after shopping near by. Food was lovely and so was the service. This pub is great for families and we enjoyed some time in the dart board. The new manager is definitely getting everything improved and upto standards which is fantastic. He is definitely a hands on manager as I saw him cleaning the back bar area today.

Just an average pub with average food

Kieron who bought out our food out was very helpful and friendly

Another Marston's Pub. I ordered the Mixed Grill. They did not have it. In my whole history of visiting Marston's pubs on only one occasion when I ordered the Mixed Grill did they have it. Is this a mythical menu item. The service was exceptional and the real ale was good. Food was standard chain pub grub.

Myself ,my husband and my daughter came last Monday evening. It was such a disappointment. It was very quiet and the staff were friendly and a credit to you, However on ordering at the bar we were told there was no mixed grill and then no steaks on there own either Then there was no halloumi. When our order came they had forgotten to put our onion rings in so had to wait for them. All.in all needless to say we were extremely disappointed I did do a review after but that seems to have disappeared so I have no idea where it has been posted if at all. Sorry will certainly not be recommending you to anyone or coming back

Food was lovely. Flavourful and very nice. All the food that we had was lovely and pretty cheap aswell. Overall 9 out of 10 and would go again.

Kids corn on cob was frozen when brought to the table had to send back Chicken curry was microwaved and not nice at all

We went for the spooky supper with the kids, it was an incredible atmosphere, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious 😋. It was definitely more than worth it!

A lovely meal with genours portions. Fantastic service and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely food generous portions amazing surf and turf steak was cooked just as I asked. great new management will be back !

Meeting up with friends and family

Lovely food and very decent prices. Beer prices are a bit expensive but the pub is lovely with a chilled atmosphere.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Clearly working hard to manage the customers they had and were attentive to our needs. The level of service from the staff was the saving grace for our experience here. We were shocked and disappointed at the quality of food from this pub. The food was awful and in places actually indedible. The prices are not reflective of the poor quality. We spent £52 for a family of four to be given food which was of worse quality than what I could buy in a supermarket for a tenth of the price. I am so appalled that a company such as Marstons would serve such low grade food to customers whilst still charging such prices. Plus there is room for the kitchen staff here to be given time to visually inspect the food before they send out to customers. If it looks terrible on the plate then it shouldn't be sent out! My sons mash potato looked like it had been trodden in. The sausages and fish fingers were such low quality - utterly tasteless and gritty in texture. My steak & ale pie had thick gluteness pastry and barely any filling. The best part of the meals was the gravy. Lord knows where the peas are from, they look half dead, a horrid, pale green/yellow colour and half of them squashed - is it really that difficult to boil a few frozen peas in a pan? And the Halloumi fries - which weren't even fresh. They were awful! Clearly fried in old oil and completely inedible. I really hope someone can read this and review any changes that may be possible. I understand theres a cost of living crisis affecting businesses too but this is just not acceptable standards and we shouldn't be expected to pay these prices for substandard quality.

Another fine old English drinking establishment established in 1960, nice food and friendly staff

Decent portions of tasty homely food. Sadly they had run out of Sunday roast but more than pleased with what we ate. Not a place to go if you are in a rush though :) Family of 3.

Food can be slow at times when busy , but it isn't to bad , a typical pub grub .

I came here for our tea, which was beautifully cooked. The service was great and food came out nice and hot! Decent price for 4 meals and 4 drinks. Would have had dessert but couldn't fit it in. We will be back soon!

Great meal and great service at the longwood tonight! Good to be back!

Came here for lunch with my grandparents for a change ☺️ the fish and chips were delicious and food was super quick! Would recommend and come again.

Excellent dinner tonight thanks. Good choice of beers, tasty grub all in an easy to get to pub. Will certainly be back here again.

Came in for lunch, it was quite busy but the service was fast and efficient from Henry. Really recommend the salt and chilli chicken kebab - was cooked perfectly! Will be back soon

Staff were very friendly and helpful, they were attentive to glasses on tables and cleanliness also. Food was delicious and so piping hot that I couldn't eat it quick enough! Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, no Loud music blaring so you can have a good chat without shouting etc I'll be returning 100%! If you are a Mac nd cheese fan, I would recommend their Mac nd cheese with BBQ pulled pork ☺️ delicious! Thank you to all the staff for a relaxing afternoon/evening!

We were staying at the hotel at Drayton Manor Park but decided to eat off site during our stay. I booked a table using the online booking system. This was easy to find and use. From the outside, the pub looks well kept and inviting. On arrival, we were greeted and served by friendly staff. The tables were clean and the restaurant tidy. We found the food to be great value for money and was delivered to our table hot and with a smile. We will definitely come back again when we are in the area

New dartboard, friendly staff and good drink, what's not to like! Food is well cooked and plentiful. Decent pool table as well...

Hunters Chicken overcooked and dry. Not the best meal unfortunately......Drinks were fine though.....

Great service as usual from Courtney and the rest of the team, loving the new options on the menu, food was delicious. Family friendly as well with a little play area my kids love, will be back 😊

Popped in yesterday for the quiz with my mom. A blonde lady couldn't do enough for us. We really enjoyed it. Guess we've just found a new local thanks longwood

A quiet Tuesday evening but waited nearly an hour and a half for food. Food was OK apart from a rock hard steak on the mixed grill and a lukewarm chicken breast. Sorry but we won't be visiting again.

Stopped to charge the car, nice food & decent pint

This pub has a lovely atmosphere, tasty food and kind staff, highly recommend

Great food and great service huge well done to the chef best burger I’ve ever had will come again

Came in with little boy and friend beautiful food thank you Courtney Henry and grace

Took step son and his friend for food With my partner I had the mac n cheese off the new menu and the boys had bbq chicken burgers each lovely service off Henry Courtney and Grace, nice pint of inches also.

Henry, Courtney and Niamh were great

Friend had mixed grill steak tough egg shot off plate when she went to cut it that hard this is after waiting over an hr for our food & over £8 for a glass of wine won’t be visiting again very poor

Really lovely atmosphere, and Courtney was really helpful and friendly !
