The Mary Rose in South Staffordshire

Called in for a drink at around 13.30 pm. And we were the only clients in there ! They Don't do food at the moment.

Great prices on beer, nice bar staff and dog friendly 😁

Changed hands again, good atmosphere, friendly service. Much improved with Heather looking after everything, recommended for a meal and drinks. They don't do food now, which is a big negative.

The place was nearly empty, so no atmosphere really but to be fair it was only 5pm on a weekday. My gripe is with the beer.The only draft ale was Timothy Taylor ( eurgh) and the only bottled pale ale was Punk Ipa. Other than that you've got lagers and ciders. Come on Mary Rose get some decent guest ales in . Playing to the " younger " punters taste doesn't always pay off.Especially in a village pub.

We decided to give this pub another chance.Last time we came in there was a fight but we put it down to the bank holiday but on our return myself Wife and mother in law were not made to feel welcome obviously a locals only pub.Never have I visited a pub to be made so unwelcome.

We were clearly not the type of people they serve at the Mary Rose. Despite their website and the signs outside, I turns up with my daughter and was told that they don’t serve food! It’s 2024 and it’s still happening. Make of that what you will. On the plus side they do have good parking.

Friendly place, service is welcoming and friendly

Nice local, always a good place to finish a dog walk 😁

Good pub, good people and banging tunes. Not many pubs have good tunes in like that 🌟

Absolutely loved it! Amazing food, generous portions, delicious cocktails, worth every penny! ❤️ Clean and tidy, lovely atmosphere. And a cherry on the cake - excellent staff, super polite and engaging, quick and efficient.

Had food here really tasty lamb stew and chicken and chorizo pie .friendly staff and good service

Food was amazing monk fish curry service was brilliant girls couldn’t do enough for us absolutely lovely atmosphere made even better with yam yam elvis singing live a must visit.

Boxing Day lunch!…. Table not ready despite being booked well in advance. The story begins. Menus given, twice advised items were sold out. Ok at 3pm? Service can’t really be criticised but when the meals actually arrived and for BOXING DAY, an extension of Christmas Day, to be honest it was way below par. And then the cherry on the top was a PINK burger. Family meal totally ruined. Will NOT be going again

Brilliant Sunday dinner for the whole family. Perfect menu choice, great atmosphere and value for the portion was spot on. Already finding excuses to book our next one 👏👏

Went on recently as part of a large group (15+). All the food came together, and was really good and tasty. Staff were very friendly and the entertainment was really good. Looking forward to coming back

Great night here for our Christmas party ! Reggae singer was amazing and the veggie option for my main was delicious !!! Great atmosphere and venue !!!

We went to the Mary Rose on Friday, had a lovely 3 course meal. Food was absolutely beautiful, service was amazing too!! Entertainment was really good also! Will be going back

Great pub. Worth a visit. Popped in with my son for food, wasn't bad to be fair, well presented.

I had fish, chips and mushy peas. The fish and chips were excellent. The peas were very dry. Chose bakewell tart for dessert. Very, very average. The pub was very busy and so loud. We'd pre-booked our table and was disappointed to be opposite the entrance. So cold ! The staff were very good

4 of us went for Sunday lunch on 26th. Trio of meats was excellent. A really nice meal we all agreed. More than enough even for the biggest of appetites. Served by very pleasant staff. All good and will book again definitely

Some of the punters are a little off putting when you walk in and aren’t a regular. But staff were very quick when serving and super friendly. Food was great, went on a Sunday and despite a smaller menu everything was great.

Staff are amazing an fabulous food what more do you need definitely going back

3 friends booked meal and a social catch up. No problem with food or service but was made to feel very uncomfortable when staff appeared with mop and bucket and rang last orders at 9 pm!!! We were clearly made to feel as though they wanted us out . No one came to explain they were closing early, no one asked if we had wanted more drinks Just because we were the only customers left they decided to close early! Felt rushed and uncomfortable Wont be returning

Impromptu dog walk, on a lovely sunny afternoon drawn us in for a drink, after looking at the NEW menu we decided to have a bite to eat, an so glad we did, it looked amazing an tasted just as good. Nice friendly welcome an will definitely be visiting more regularly

A little gem of a pub with fab food . The new menu is very impressive. Friendly , welcoming staff.

A very clean and friendly place...service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious, and a menu that had a good choice of vegetarian, vegan and meat dishes.Would visit again.

Beautiful little pub tucked away. I did travel down to see the Michael Bublé tribute singer. I looked online and noticed they had a carvery so I thought I'd grab one before hand. Was disappointed to get there to find out that it wasn't on due to a refurbishment/takeover. I just wish it was updated online as I could have gone elsewhere prior. Never mind. The pub itself is very nice. Staff are warm and welcoming and the beer went down well. Entertainment as normal was excellent, Jamie is very good at what he does.

Lively pub for young and old. Gets really busy and noisy. It's more a drinkers sociable pub.

Went for a meal but not serving food

Food wasn’t great. Prawn linguine was a very small portion and quite tasteless and the gammon was very over cooked. The young girls behind the bar seemed to be staring at us a lot which was uncomfortable. Drink range is good though.

Had not been here for years and was a bit wary but we gave it a go. The pub has been refurbed and looks clean and bright. The only gripe is the menu (lunchtime) is quite limited which was disappointing. No desserts on there either and we were not asked if we wanted one so maybe they don't serve them. If you are an AA member you won't get discount as Greene King only supply their beer.

Me and my boyfriend had a very enjoyable afternoon at the mary rose .lager kept very well .I had fish and chips got to say the attention to detail was spot on and my dog enjoyed the beer garden also would definitely recommend well done xx

OMG SHOCKING! We thought we'd go to try the recently taken over by new management local pub. We were there to celebrate my sister passing one of her exams only yesterday. I should have seen the signs when I checked out the menu before hand. A really boring menu. We all had trouble deciding what to have as very little we fancied. When we first arrived the bar girl was talking to one of the customers. We stood too long without being noticed until i said excuse me! No apology. We ordered our drinks sat down waiting to be served eventually we'd had enough of waiting so went to the bar to be told we have to order from the bar! Why we weren't told this simple instruction ! One of the party ordered from the nibbles the something something chips. They were supposed to come homemade, with chilli sauce and spring onion (not sure if cheese to) anyway home made chips my eye! And covered in this red sauce no onions. By this time we'd all had enough, paid for our drinks (of which I would have offered them FOC as a good will jesture) there was no encouragement to return. So off we went to another local pub which served food and had a wonderful meal. I will wait until its under new management before I go again.

Just went for a drink and the Guinness was just nice 👌

A great pub with friendly, helpful staff, good selection of food at fair prices and good quality and quantity. If it is a nice day, it has a very good beer garden with plenty of seating. Throughly recommended.

Great local pub and grill .friendly welcoming staff .always happy to assist you .great atmosphere .

Chose the Mary Rose, which has recently been refurbished and under a new manger to celebrate my moms 80th birthday. The staff and venue were very accommodating and provided a lovely buffet, which made for a perfect unforgettable afternoon.

Pleasant pub in a nice setting. Sat in beer garden on a warm sunny day. Plenty of seating outside, inside looked pleasant with clean toilets. Overall an enjoyable few hours spent. Did not eat

Nice pub, good food - took a bit of time to get to our party, and the selection was limited, but overall, it was decent.

Yorkshire pudding rock hard.hardly any meat on lamb option mostly fat. Only 2 stems of Brockley and peas. No stuffing no carrots 3 roasters and small bit of mash. And on th big Sunday roast option. At 16 pound wasn't much better other than had more meat carrots and some small pigs in blankets. Really disappointed. Staff nice and friendly and pub nice and clean. Need to do better here guys as u can get much more for less money 2min around the corner.

I used this pub for the first time in a while, good friendly staff, I ordered battered fish with homemade chips, fish ok chips disappointing. Will use it again yes.

Amazing food! Had the cod and chips, batter was the best I've had! Chips were delicious! Really impressed with the food! Desserts excellent too! Really lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere Will be back!

Me and my daughter came today for a carvery, the staff were so attentive... But wow the carvery was amazing, absolutely recommend to anyone!

The place is nice and is a good local pub, when it gets busy it can be hard to find a seat. Would be better in the summer as have plenty of out door seating.

Didn't have food just popped infor a drink lovley place x

Went there for a birthday meal. Good food & good service

Update. All dressed up for Christmas, see new photos Traditional village pub, busy and friendly atmosphere. If you come here for food as you should, come hungry. Good choice on the menu. Large portions, tasty, properly cooked food, good choice, chunky chips. I could go on and on about how excellent the food is, but I also want to comment on the great service we had. Attentive and polite and above all quick. Well worth a visit.

Just had the Sunday carvery at The Mary Rose. Absolutely lovely home cooked food. Also had the rum and raisin bread pudding and custard - fantastic. Beware - you need to book - the place was packed. Julie doing a fantastic job at this lovely pub. Very glad it is our local.

Excellent food and delightful service.

Thank you all at the Mary Rose today. Pre-booked carvery for 17 to celebrate daughter's 18th birthday. Staff have been accommodating from beginning to end. The meal today was excellent with everything you'd expect from a carvery, we specifically requested pigs in blankets which were brought to our tables and were delicious, as was the leek and potato gratin. The Yorkshire pudding are massive! Cannot fault the service, we weren't expecting table service, but as a larger party that's what we got. Very friendly, very cosy. Highly recommend, will definitely visit again. Thank you. Jo 😊

Had two lovely meals steaks cooked perfectly staff member was very helpful and friendly even though she was on her own nothing was to much trouble

Ice cold cider on a hot day and a lovely pub too

We booked in for a meal to catch up with friends. Had a lovely table opposite the bar. Fantastic service and food, We ordered the sea bass, gammon and 2 lasagne’s, everything we ordered was beautifully presented and piping hot, we had a lovely evening with delicious food and would definitely recommend. Thank you Julie and Team, you are doing a fantastic job in our lovely village xxxx we have also been back for a Sunday roast which was also excellent 😋 Stuart and Julie Moores xx

Great Sunday lunch, lovely food, fresh and amazing staff! Julie and Perry especially, thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for your hospitality

Popped in for a pint and a chat. I regularly drink here and have always found the place to be very welcoming. Efficient friendly staff who are always keen to help. The beers are very good but the highlight is the food which is excellent. The regulars are friendly and welcoming and always good for a laugh.

We regularly go to their sister pub, the wheatsheaf, which is fantastic. We decided to try the Mary Rose for a change, and we were bitterly disappointed. The pub was empty (never a good start) however we decided to go inside anyway for lunch. The decor was definitely mirrored in the wheatsheaf, which is lovely, also very clean. The lady behind the bar was friendly and welcoming, however it went downhill from there. Our food was dry, disappointing and seems like the chips were re heated. The pizza was made with a pre-made base (very dry). Burger was also dry and not good. The lady behind the bar forgot she was at work, and was using extremely inappropriate language throughout our visit, good job we didn't take our kids otherwise I would of said something as she was constantly swearing. It was so surprising as a mile down the road you can get a brilliant meal, freshly cooked, friendly staff.. Such a shame considering they in such close proximity, this place should be packed!! We won't be returning, but we will be back to the wheatsheaf very soon.

It has been 15 years since my wife and I frequented this pub. The photos uploaded here no longer do it justice. The pub sits in a housing estate but still retains the charm of a country pub. Inside has been fully refurbished since our last visit. Furniture has been fully reupholstered, new carpet, new drapes and wallpaper and freshly painted. It is a Greene King pub and menu was traditional pub grub with some extras such as pizzas. Food was well cooked and tasty and the two female staff members on front of house were polite, efficient and friendly. Eating area to the front and bar to the rear. There were male drinkers in the bar but they were sociable and not loud. In fact upon leaving, one of them held the door open for us and asked if we were full now 😂. Beer garden to the front has had decking and tables applied and is fully enclosed with fencing. We previously stopped going only due to distance but will now be returning.

It’s a no from me disappointed food average at best lovely staff tried there best Dining experience spoiled by lots of men in bar area still in my opinion a drinkers pub not a restaurant .could not recommend

Amazing food nice surroundings great atmosphere service was impeccable. Will definitely be going back again as we all enjoyed being there ❤️❤️

Been for a few meals since the menu changed. Lots of choice now from a full menu and a great carvery each Sunday. Since Julie took over a far nicer pub and staff are all very pleasant. Had a steak last night which was excellent....

Went for a lovely meal today. Very helpful waitress. Would definitely recommend. Booked via messenger.

This pub has been transformed since Julie has become the manager it is now the pub it used to be some years ago. The food is superb thanks to the chef Jamie and the beers well kept and a great selection.

Excellent food at good prices. Exceptional range of beers all well kept. Friendly welcoming staff. Do not be fooled by the website this is no longer a purely Indian food menu. It now boasts a good range of more traditional pub food including an excellent...

After 2 long years and covid restrictions we had a fabulous reunion with our family on 6th August 2021. The pub was great, nice atmosphere and we were made very welcome (14 of us). Staff were super friendly, service top notch and the food, well...

Do frequently visit the pub, and am always looked after by the staff, especially the manager Jason :)

First visit since re open. A lot of money spent on outdoors and indoors. Very well organised by Jason and staff. Meal was very nice also. So nice to see the beer garden full and new seating / decking with an undercover part also. Very...

We ordered a takeaway to collect. It was ready in 15 minutes so thought that was quick. However the chicken was tough & reheated in both dishes. Missing items including naan & popadums. We have had great food from here in lockdown but not since...

Have been using this pub for years with friends for both a drink and to eat in. The food has been very good since being taken over as a desi pub in 2019. With this in mind we have used the delivery service via Just...

Was so looking forward to trying this local Indian. How disappointing. Overall the food all tasted the same and some bits of chicken we didn’t dare eat as they definitely weren’t cooked enough. Delivery woman was rude; didn’t speak, despite a welcoming ‘hello / thanks...

My parents used to love the Mary Rose Pub, however, sadly this is not the case anymore. The pub used to have lots of character, friendly staff, clean and tidy, good drink choice etc. Now it’s awful. We visited on Boxing Day at about 1pm,...

Biryani is meant to be a mild rice based curry. This was way too spicy and the rice was wet and soggy when its meant to be dry. Won't order again.

Had to move tables 3 times because of the disgusting state of them. Really unstable very scratched and sticky! Food very mediocre. Toilets an absolute disgrace. Very scruffy, paint all falling off radiator doors very scratched and the smell was awful Went for Sunday lunch...

Having moved home this has become my local. A really friendly welcoming staff and regulars. Good range of beer, lagers and gins. Both the Punjabi and English foods are excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

We were looking for somewhere to eat in this area and remembered this pub. If you are looking for decent food then do NOT go here. The tables are a bit grotty and no wonder it was nearly empty.Shish kebab starters were like rubber.My wife ordered the chicken tikka wrap. This arrived and had a few pieces of chicken in it and the rest was filled with the rubber shish kebab.I ordered the mixed tandoori grill. It looked very nice on a Sizzler but under more of the rubber shish kebab was dry warmed up chicken on the bone which tasted like warmed up left overs. This place is the worst food outlet we have tried in many years. The only good thing was I had two nice real ale beers. Overall very disappointed and don't think we will be returning to this dump in the future.

Booked a family meal on Saturday night after reading good reviews.but found the food below average,We ordered the meals which consisted of three currys and one fish and chips.The order was placed and my sister asked for bread and butter to compliment her fish and chips,but was told that "We have no bread"???.The waitresses were very friendly and the service quite speedy,The meals arrived but not very big portions and very bland currys.and what seemed to be Naan bread from a packet.When asked for a latte coffee,we were told that they only had instant coffee,when it clearly shows a coffee machine on the website.We would not recommend this pub for a meal,but has a drinking pub it was adaquate.The website needs updating to specify that there is a limited English food menu.

Excellent service, friendly staff, decent selection of ales and really good food. All a village pub should be.

Always a warm welcome. Food is great and there’s lots of choice for drinks. Everything a village pinball should be and more.

very good food good consistency and have to say great food good bear and great atmosphere been in here a few times and will always return

Website said dog friendly, how wrong not even human friendly. Greated by rude staff to say DOGS NOT ALLOWED WE ARE A RESTAURANT, we had travelled two hours to meet up with our daughter, what a disappointment.

Since Vic had taken over the pub this place is on the up. Food good , Staff & service very good . Cheers Vic keep up the good work!!

After a period of the pub being run by temporary tenants, really pleased to see that the landlord Vik is really taking a pride in restoring the pub to a proper old fashioned local with really nice Indian food, as x bonus. I will continue to support it.

Poped in with the husband for just a drink very nice little place good prices too will be goin again to try food

Often experienced places using Patak’s paste and I’ve been offended. This took it too far and i believe they used Sharwoods. The prawns were obviously from wing yip. Never again.

Friendly pub with both customers Ann's staff being welcoming. English and Punjabi food available. Generally a good selection of beers.

Definitely worth a visit, I will only eat Indian from one place! Until now.Twice we’ve been for a drink here since the take over, and twice we’ve come away thinking “It’s not going to be worth it”.. But I’m glad we gave it a chance because it is sooooooo worth it! The food was Excellent 100% in fact. Steaming hot, tasty & really good value..Plus the Guinness tastes like Guinness! Anyone who can constantly serve a good pint of the “Black Stuff” gets my vote.. I just hope the quality and quantity don’t suffer over time as so many new food ventures do, the service and value start to slip in favour of profit. Please don’t let this happen guys!

Dropped in on a Wednesday evening for an early evening meal.Found that Wednesdays is curry evening only so standard pub menu wasnt available. Nice but not overly extensive choice of starters and mains (which is good,means its freshly cooked ).Our waitress Keeran was lovely,friendly and helpful.The food was tasty,hot and well presented,we were too full to look at the dessert menu. Overall we had an enjoyable evening at the Mary Rose,good food at a good price.

In my previous reviews of the Rose I have not been able to speak about the Punjabi food. I have now tried several of the offerings and they have all been without exception excellent. A place to be much recommended.

Me and the wife had a very rare meal without the kids And decided to try here and what a choice service/food/and staff all brilliant cannot wait to go back👍

Popped in for a meal on Friday night. Got a warm welcome from the bar staff. We both had Tandouri mixed grill with the portion being very generous and extremely tasty. The new owners are doing a fantastic job as on our last visit the place looked like it was on its last legs. A very friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be using this place more in the future.

Food is fab cooked perfectly huge portions perfect service will deffinately be visiting again and deffinately reccomend visiting

As always great beer, excellent food and attentive but not intrusive staff. Excellent outside space given this weather.

Recent new tenants, place much tidier and cleaner since they arrived. Choice of Indian or English fayre

Used to visit here but it went completely downhill. However has been taken over recently and it is once again one of our favourite places. Serves mainly Indian food at night, but share a chicken tandoori sizzler and a chicken falfriez with a partner, you won't be disappointed. Limited English food at night. Staff are wonderful and friendly. Only dropped a point because if they shut curtains it is really dark in there. We are just so glad this lovely pub is coming back to life. Well done to all staff.

Let me say upfront that I like this pub so much that the have become a regular.They have recently started doing English food during the day to complement the evening Indian food. All reports are that all the food is excellent. The wide range of beers has been maintained and enhanced with the introduction of the Budweiser on the pull.

My wife and I paid a visit here for Sunday lunch,The staff were polite and helpful, The meal we ate was plentiful and perfectly cooked,The co-owner also has another pub called "The Wheatsheaf" and you get the same friendly service,food and staff there too.

Definitely worth a visit, I will only eat Indian from one place! Until now.Twice we’ve been for a drink here since the take over, and twice we’ve come away thinking “It’s not going to be worth it”.. But I’m glad we gave it a chance because it is sooooooo worth it! The food was Excellent 100% in fact. Steaming hot, tasty & really good value..Plus the Guinness tastes like Guinness! Anyone who can constantly serve a good pint of the “Black Stuff” gets my vote.. I just hope the quality and quantity don’t suffer over time as so many new food ventures do, the service and value start to slip in favour of profit. Please don’t let this happen guys!

Had a curry with my wife and my two brothers who were visiting from Australia on Saturday and the food was amazing the staff were very friendly and helpful especially the manager will definitely be visiting there again

Great Indian food & simple limited traditional pub food. Good luck to Jay give it a try. If the first few weeks are anything to go by it should be a good local to go to very soon.
