Great food, it's well cooked and full of flavour and all served by happy, helpful staff. It's not cheap, but it's great value for money for such a wonderful lunchtime spent with good company in an understated modernist pub. Well done, we would recommend it to everyone.

Been twice since Glynn took it over and we've enjoyed it both times. The venison dish is a favourite of ours & the steaks are awesome too! The creamed mushrooms starter is excellent as well. The atmosphere in the pub is brilliant, we've made new friends each time we've been there, very friendly indeed. The garden at the back of the property looks fantastic for summer days, we must try it this year! All in all we love it!

I have finally been to The Mounts for Sunday lunch. I’ve been looking forward to this for some time. It lived up to my expectations. I wanted both the soup and the scotch egg. The scotch egg won, and I'm coming back to try the soup. For mains, we went with Pork, Lamb, & beef. My beef was wonderful, and plenty of it. My stepfather had the lamb. He said it melted in his mouth. The freshly made mint sauce was outstanding. My mother had the pork, cooked perfectly with the best crackling. The cauliflower & cheese was great. All the veg complemented the dishes. I forgot to take a picture of the Scorch lemon margarita & Old-fashioned. The drinks and service were perfect. Thank you to all the staff.

Nice venue, really friendly & helpful staff - food: Stone bass nice - well cooked. The roast beef is solid - very generous trimmings. Vegan mains are a little on the pedestrian side. The desserts were really good. Overall, I'd say it was decent but was honestly hoping for something a bit more elevated.

Great food. Nice treat. We booked to go here because we had been given £50 voucher. Somehow we must have misplaced the voucher and was too late to Cancel at this point. Would have been better if we hadn’t have misplaced our voucher as it’s quite pricey when you have drinks and 3 courses but nice for a treat

Great food, but service not good. Four of us went to The Mount as a treat. It was a busy Friday evening, and our table was between the bar and the restaurant. Our food order was taken quickly, but then we were pretty much abandoned! We were never offered more drinks, and we had to go up to the bar to ask for the wine menu and order our wine and drinks. The food was delicious – we had steaks and lamb, and all were cooked perfectly. But when you are paying this much for an upmarket pub meal (our bill was £228 for four of us – two courses and wine) you expect to be looked after. We could see that the staff were busy, and appeared not to have time to come and check on diners outside the main restaurant area. We asked for the service charge to be removed from our bill, and explained why - this was done - but no apology or explanation. Disappointing.

There was an expectation the food would be Glynn Purnell standard given his stature in birmingham. The meat was cooked to perfection but all other things were below par. Cold sides and overcooked Yorkshire puddings lead to a uneventful experience. I don't think we shall be returning

A wonderful experience from beginning to end! The gluten free menu was fantastic, we were surprised to have so much to choose from...thank you! (Tiniest critism, gluten free rolls would be nicer than thinnly sliced white bread with the sharing platters). By the end of the scallop starter I had decided that I wanted my birthday meal here this year! Each ingredient on the plate has been treated with respect and is full of flavour. Our service was brilliant. Staff are attentive but not over bearing. Was surprised to see Glynn serve creme brulee instead of burnt Cambridge cream :) (Yes I am a fan of Great British Menu...I think the scallop starter was inspired by Glenn's monkfish dish from GBM too!!)

Michelin star! Failed to serve the sourdough toast with the pressed terrine starter and when reminded about it pointed at the focaccia bread we had ordered separately. When we said that’s focaccia ordered separately they went back to the kitchen, came back with another piece of focaccia and banged it down on the table. I’ve had better service in a greasy spoon.

The Mount's website proclaims ' Delicious food in Comfortable Surroundings' The day we visited in march was cold & damp. The dining room was large & not cosy. My wife ordered a soup which was served in a jug & when poured in a cold bowl, it became luke warm immediately. Her second course was a mushroom risotto which again was not hot & it was under seasoned and tasted very bland. My starter was whipped cream cheese It came with an elaborate garnish and no bread. Are you supposed to eat cream cheese with a knife & fork? My main course was pigs cheek which was hot & cooked well. It had a very tasty sauce with a few peas swimming around. It needed a small rice or potato accompaniment. I understand Glynn Parnell owns the pub & does not cook there but if his pub is called 'The Mount by Glynn Parnell' he should make sure that the food is up to standard.

It’s hard to rate this other than 1 as I found bone in my Ham Hock. Two bits I swallowed which are still stuck in my throat now and are causing me pain. I did retrieve one piece, a sharp triangular piece the size of half a thumbnail. This was taken back to the kitchen by the waitress. Who returned to apologise and we were told it is made in house so can happen. That it would be removed from the bill. I believe they removed 2 cokes from the bill also. However, It didn’t stop me from coughing for 20 minutes and I still have a sore throat today. I didn’t feel an apology by the waitress showed sufficient concern. Had I swallowed the third piece I would’ve needed to go to hospital. We persevered through the meal as my wife and I rarely get out and had travelled over an hour. I didn’t want to ruin her night. We both had steaks. My wife a Rib Eye and me the Fillet. Both were cooked medium and amazing for the first half. The second half of both steaks were cooked well and not so good. I’m not sure how they cook them but not what you’d expect. I had the Chocolate Moelleux which was like a tub of stodge and dry. There was no liquid inside which I expected. I left it. My wife had the mint ice cream which was not to her taste. The service was slow halfway through the meal as the place filled up. Taking just over two hours for 3 courses. We tipped the waitress on top of the service charge as I felt during the bone scenario I might have come across initially rude. I was pretty shocked and something I’ve never had anywhere else. Not a good experience and I certainly wouldn’t return

Sadly we had the misfortune to dine at the Mount Pub today in Henley-In-Arden. I ordered the 10oz Hereford Sirloin (rare), it came blue, it was sent back only for the second steak to arrive the wrong side of medium!. Now even if I was prepared to ask for another to be fired, which I wasn't, the meal was already ruined. My wife ordered the salt and pepper squid and the Nduja shrimp. The squid batter was soggy, had no real seasoning at all, the shrimp tasted like potted shrimp at best, and the Nduja sauce was oily, only tasted of paprika and had no spicy kick to it at all. Now I could just put this down to a bad day in the kitchen, but I cannot and will not, because surely Glynn Parnell as a chef, never mind a Michelin starred one must have the utmost high and demanding standards for his restaurants, food and service. If he were to have witnessed what we were served today, there would be positions in the kitchen become available immediately, not only because chef had ruined two pieces of choice sirloin steak, but has cost the restaurant £66.00 as well!. Very disappointed, awful food, Valentine’s lunch ruined! Not that Valentines’ day is in any way really different from any other, but it does hurt a little bit more, especially for my wife. Glynn keep your eye on the ball. 1/10, and the 1 is for Connor who was front of house, lovely professional member of staff.

We took my parents the The Mount for their 50th wedding anniversary meal. This was our first visit, and it didn't disappoint. The pub area is very well presented, with exposed oak beams and a nice log burner in the corner. The restaurant area at the back of the building is very airy, with high ceilings and had about 10 tables in it when we visited. The Mount has a few vegan options, which were absolutely fantastic. They were full of flavour. Hats off to the kitchen staff! Some on our table had steak and they couldn't praise it highly enough. Our waitress, India, was great, as we're all of the staff. Overall we had a really enjoyable evening. Will definitely recommend to friends and family, and will certainly be back!

I had mentioned when i booked the reservation if they still did a crumble desert? However this was not part of the same menu as they pie.When we had finished eating.Our waitress Heidi spoke to us and said the chef would do us some rhubarb crumbs.As we were waiting a gentleman came to the table and thanked us for travelling to dine and introduced himself as the owner.A truely thoughtful and kind jesture.As we paid the bill. I asked the staff if they would pass to the kitchen team our gratitude for going the extra mile.One the chefs then met me and i passed on to him how much we all appreciated everything they had done for us.In this day & age, when customer service is almost non exsitance. It was a wonderful suprise to find excellent service from the whole staff this evening. Thank you all very much. Hope to see you all very soon.

Lovely, until the end of removing the service charge. Our first time at The Mount this evening. When first walking in I did not feel comfortable at all, and thought we walked into the wrong place as it did not feel like a restaurant at all. But was directed to the restaurant which is was outstanding! We were pleasantly greeted by staff (one of which was out waitress) We were seated to our table effortlessly, we had an extended wait to be asked what drinks we would like, for which is unknown as we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. However our waitress went to the other bar to get our drinks as the pump weren’t working even after I said I will substitute it for another for another drink to save the inconvenience. We ordered our food, and the food was outstanding. In fact, in all the nice places we’ve eaten in this was the best meal we’ve eaten, full of flavour and the quality of the produce is on point. Every mouthful was delicious. When asking for the bill, I specifically asked for the service charge to be removed. This is something I do in every restaurant. The waitress immediately stood up straight and said “was there a problem with your service” I replied “no the service was great” Our waitress who had already been antagonised by the other because she went up and said “no tip” to her. Came back and threw our bill booklet on the table and done an about turn and walked off. I’ve gone straight up and confronted her, and told her I did not appreciate that behaviour, she said she didn’t mean to. I told her it was intentional as she went back laughing with the other waitresses about it. This is not good customer service at all. Don’t just assume that a customer has asked for the service charge to be removed that you’re not getting tipped as I always pay my tips in cash so that, that waitress just receives the gratitude for her service. For this, she received no tip for her service. A service charge is discretionary, whether we have a good service or bad service. We should not feel intimidated at all into paying this charge. I have expressed that I was paying in cash for the tip but to act in this manner is disgusting behaviour. On speaking with the manager, he said the waitress was very upset about it all and said he can guarantee this did not happen as she is not like that. Unfortunately for him, he was not the one on the receiving end of the service, we were. Although he has offered to give us somewhat a discount on drinks when we next return, this has still left me with the thought of not returning due to the ending of what was a lovely meal and service. Don’t judge every book by its cover, as what you see is not always what you get. Read between the lines and understand that sometimes there is always something good that comes out of what you believe to see as a disappointment. Unfortunately on this occasion, due to jumping the gun and showing a lack of respect the waitress has lost out. For this I don’t think I will be returning, first time here and possibly the last time. Gratitude where is deserved and that is to the chefs. *********** In response to your reply, in no way was I abusive towards your staff. Your staff need to be trained on customer service, regardless of age. Previous reviews state the same. if this is your way to cover what had happened and make out I was acting in that manner then you’re wrong. I demonstrated on your bar exactly what your waitress had done to me. I did not shout, raise my voice or be abusive towards your staff. Not one member of your staff had asked me to tone my voice down or to stop being abusive or change my manner do you know why that is? because it didn’t happen! None of this was said to me on the phone when I had phoned afterwards and spoke to Connor (the manager) So if that was the case, why ask me to return and offer a discount?? Just covering yourself against my response, and if this is your response then I’m quite happy not to return. First time that’s ever happened, and it’s a shame it happened on my first visit to your pub.

Overall a good experience but not 100% up to what I expected. The decor is great and the service is most definitely on par. The menu is varied with some nice combinations and no nonsense combination of flavours. However my celeriac starter was too on the sweet side, there was nothing to balance the sweetness of the dish. The venison dish on the other hand was incredible, perfectly cooked venison with a lovely rich pie of slow cooked meat and a lovely sweet braised carrot to accompany. I’d definitely come again to try some other dishes. Price wise it’s on the higher end for the standard of food but I think most people would enjoy. Definitely one to revisit.

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Four of us went for Sunday lunch. Good selection of roast meats plus vegetarian option. My main course was luke warm at best which was disappointing. Good selection of wines. Just a couple of points to consider: I hate it when staff keep saying 'guys' there's no need for it. Secondly, watching the staff cleaning the tables for the next sitting, they simply sprayed the table and then proceded to wipe any debris from the table on to the floor or the chairs. Now, whether no one has shown them how to clean a table or they simply can't be bothered I'm not sure. I would be really disappointed if they were my staff.

The Mount sets expectations high with nice decor and reference to a Michelin star chef but in reality this is an overpriced pub in a good location. It could be more than that, as demonstrated by the excellent beef rib, but a couple of things let it down. Waitresses were polite but took an age to provide a high chair and served the wrong drink. The deer was good, nice and rare as it should be, but the venison pie was incredibly dry and (for me) a pot with mash on top isn’t exactly a pie. Sadly this was where the gap between description and delivery only got worse. The choux bun with custard arrived with neither choux pastry or custard. Thin caramel sauce quenched what could’ve passed for a hollowed out stale crusty roll. The crème brûlée tasted ok but the consistency was off and the accompanying honeycomb was burnt. Luckily the foul taste of burnt sugar was negated by a sorbet, which otherwise had no business being on the dish, unless maybe they knew about the burnt honeycomb? And the biggest faux pas, hearing kitchen staff swearing. While this might be commonplace in many (probably most) pubs those same pubs don’t have an ‘open kitchen’ which allow customers to both see and hear what’s going on. They also don’t carry the name of a well known Chef. Overall two things struck me. One, the place was empty for a Saturday lunch which speaks volumes. Two, the final bill (>£100 with mandatory 10% service) seemed excessive relative to the quality of the meal and experience. Would I go again? My wife says never but I’d say… maybe. Choose your food wisely and you could have a very nice time.

I had been given vouchers as an 80th birthday present. We visited along with old friends and all enjoyed a lovely time. The service was excellent and the different courses superb. In all a great experience.

Excellent; relaxed, friendly and great value… hadn’t lost quality. Food is delicious. We had steak and fish; sensible (not huge) portions of quality foods

Very dissatisfied for a second time round. The food is just okay considering the extortionate prices. The service from very inexperienced staff is totally unacceptable.

Food good however belly pork portion very small. (10mm thick) bit dry. Arrived for 16.15 for 16.45 booking at least six tables empty. But impression when booking we got the last table. We were the only diners arriving for16.45. Got the impression from the staff to hurry up they wanted us out. If Glynn Parnell is putting his name to this. I would suggest he uses a secret diner to get an unbiased review.

We enjoyed a truly superb lunch at The Mount. The slow cooked lamb was the best that I have ever tasted. Brilliant decor, service and of course all of the food served. We shall have to return for a dessert next time as starter and main were more than enough for this visit.
