The Olde Peculiar Restaurant in Lichfield

Excellent hot pot on this visit. Plus friendly helpful staff.

Just a couple of mins walk from the canal. Nice Sunday lunch and obviously a great pint.

Delightful air BnB, lovely atmospheric pub, clean rooms. I will visit again

Great place to stop. Would use again

Good beer lovely home cooked food and very pleasant staff ( shame they didn't have old peculiar on 😔 )

My friend stayed here and visited the room whilst he was here and it was beautiful.

Honestly, the very best Sunday lunch. Superb pub, very friendly and nice beers.

Visited with a group of 8 and all meals were served quite quickly considering it was very busy and tasted amazing. The burger is by far the best in the area and homemade! Bar staff were excellent especially Agi! Homemade cheesecake is highly recommended!

Excellent evening. Great food. Brilliant service. Will be back again.

We haven't been to The Olde Peculiar for a few years, I remember having Theakson Mild, and they also had a Manns Brown Ale at the time but very happy they still have the Mild. Today, we came in with friends for Sunday lunch, which, as we remember, was and still is beautiful. We all had roast beef with fresh vegetables, and all were so very tasty, and a side of pickled cabbage was an amazing compliment. So then deciding on a sweet was hard, but I'll let the picture tell you the story. It was fantastic, to say the least. A must visit during the week, specials board and a pie night, but Sunday lunch is definitely a must the staff are very friendly and helpful a credit to the pub. So if you're looking for that country pub with excellent food pop in, you'll enjoy it. Thank you.

Fantastic night here for the Soul night. Fabulous food cracking real ale from Goffs the locals are super friendly and the music was great. New to the village but I reckon we have found our forever pub!!!! Thank you staff and everyone for a brilliant night Brendan

Lovely meal. Limited vegetarian options. Great beer.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a drink walked in and was rudely told WE ARE SHUTTING!! and that was that never known a pub shut on a Sunday afternoon ! !

Fabulous pub with lots of character and a lovely atmosphere! The staff are fab and the food is great! Lots of events to keep your eyes open for and great drinks on draft!

Nice little stay over, the rooms are ok and the pub attached is a nice pint also, showers a little tight but all in all ok

Friendly staff and possibly the best steak and kidney pie filling I’ve had, oozing flavour! Great pint of pedigree too.

Lovely thriving friendly pub with fab food - great choice of food especially welcome for non meat eater as well as meat eaters lovely staff.

Would have been nice to actually get a drink hear waited over 10 minutes for service the ell that they ask you to ring was done twice yet no one came out that was able to serve legal. Maybe a designated bar person would be an idea.

Waiting 7 minutes at bar no show from anyone walked out not good at all dreadful in fact.

Wonderful food in excellent surroundings

Such a lovely sense of community in there, always feel welcomed by the lovely staff and great choice of food!! We stayed in the bed and breakfast, honestly such a lovely room very comfortable beds, brilliant breakfast, no complaints! Have booked again!

Friendly staff and a real fire burning 🔥 very cosy

Decided to go for meal here after visiting the memorial arboretum lightshow ,travelled from Shareshill. Ordered 2 pie meals .waited over an hour only for waitress to bring 2 pie meals to next table of 5.I said i think they are ours ,she took no notice.Remaining 3 guests on this table didnt receive their meals either.So was obvious they had our food.I asked how long our food would be .Was obvious from their faces they had cocked up orders.waitress came to remove their plates and laughed and said sorry but we have been so busy !! No excuse really !! Asked for money back and wont return due to sheer incompetence of staff.

Popular pub! Accommodation on site. Visited on a Friday and had a good atmosphere. Drinks very reasonable and the food was beyond expectation and very well priced.

Traditional pub with rooms, great selection of classic pub dishes

Just poped in for a meal by chance when we were passing, it looked good and was good!

Reviews are good, So decided to book a table for 2. drove 10 miles to the pub. On arrival stood at the bar. The pub was pretty empty. A member of staff walked past us a number of times, never acknowledged us being there. We’re finally told where our table was. Sat at the table for another 15 minutes.No one came to us. So while waiting, Booked a table at the Shoal Hill Tavern. Fantastic customer service and food there. Would highly recommend.

The Mountain Lodge Retreat was a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Surrounded by towering peaks, it was a gateway to adventure. Our lodge room was cozy and had a fireplace for those chilly mountain nights. The lodge staff were experts on the local trails and provided invaluable tips for our hikes. We left feeling invigorated and inspired by nature's majesty.

Highly recommend staying and eating here. Breakfasts are served freshly made and staff are extremely friendly and keen to ensure your stay is perfect. Accommodation works brilliantly for our family. Have also eaten numerous great meals here too and looking forward to return stays. Thank you for making us feel welcome and looking after us.

Lovely meal will be back again.

Food and establishment looked very nice but upon looking at the menu we didn't bother - nuggets, fish fingers or sausage for kids and no kids dessert's... not a particularly imaginative selection, it gives the impression kids don't matter.

A lovely place to stay.Sayed for two nights, easy booking in,excellent food for evening meal.Pleasant and helpful staff, couldn't as for anything more. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

I attended a retirement function at this wonderful venue. A big thank you to Corinne and Mick, the owners for their fantastic hospitality. The atmosphere, venue, service, beer and food was amazing. I highly recommend using The Olde Peculiar

Stayed overnight. Food and beer were very good. The staff were very friendly. Only issue poor closed at 9pm. Breakfast was really good 👍

Stayed at B&B while travelling up from south. Great room, very clean with all amenities. Connected to pub and had an excellent 3 course meal ( spotted dick and custard was immense). Absolutely reccomend

Special family do so we had the place to ourselves. Well about 50 friends and family Good buffet and service

Lovely food cooked on premises, nice helpful staff all round lovely friendly pub in pleasant setting.also entertainment,folk group played on evening we were there

We visited The Olde Peculiar when travelling through Handsacre on our narrowboat. We visited for drinks and an evening meal and we chose two meals from the specials board, I had the homemade chicken casserole with mash and peas, my husband had the minted lamb balti. My casserole was lovely and I really enjoyed it, the minted lamb balti, however, was exceptional and I hope they continue to offer this one on a regular basis. The pub is dog friendly with a good selection of well kept ales, they have friendly and attentive staff and without doubt we will visit The Olde Peculiar next time we pass through the area.

It may have rooms but sadly it as a pub is being let down badly.

Lovely food, very clean pints. Great staff and lovely customers. A genuinely nice place to stop and relax. Pub quiz on the Thursday Eve, was good fun too! Will go again (probably tonight😁)

Excellent food and very cheerful staff.

We love it here. Great food and company.

Nice pub and the food is quite nice too. Close to Rugeley and Lichfield and not far from Trent and Mersey Canal. Very enjoyable venue and they have quiz nights

Great food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Great food n friendly staff....my local now👍👍👍👍

Just moved to the village of Handsacre. Wanted to experience a proper village pub. Went to the Olde Peculiar, and it's exactly what I envisaged and much more. Walking in you've got the intimate surroundings, art on walls, cozy as it's,warm inside. Greeted by smiling, friendly, welcoming staff.we had dinner and the menu selection was vast, but the food was homeworker. We both had lasagne and we could of had seconds!! I wouldn't definitely return and would highly recommend. As the night went on locals were sat around the bar chatting. Beautiful atmosphere and the prices very reasonable.

Food absolutely great.. Best stake I had for a long time .. well recommended 👍

Very pleasant old fashion charm,comfortable rooms,food adequate and won our golf match!! If up that way again would definitely stay there again.

Went with friends from our local triumph car club for a post Christmas Dinner, lovely atmosphere nice food.

Great pub well kept beer great atmosphere

What a lovely old pub menu looks lovely and staff very friendly.

Lovely food. Good atmosphere. Guest ales. Excellent service, friendly staff.

Just come back from the Olde Peculiar after celebrating our daughter's 50 birthday. Fabulous hot food and staff are 1st class. Thank you everyone for making it special. Xxx

Food was great lovely friendly atmosphere never been here before but I'd definitely go again when I'm passing.

Great home made pies and friendly staff

Excellent place to stay. Lovely meals and pub.

Didn't rent a room just drank in this lovely pub. Great beers!

Very nice local pub very friendly atmosphere and staff great range of beers nice room and home made food. The breakfast is a nice selection and the cooked breakfast is awesome thank you .

Rural pub just within the village of Armitage, a beer lover, or a diners pub, very nice “home cooked” food recommend the steak and kidney pie (proper steak and kidney). Fine range of well kept beers including Theakston’s notoriously brain addling “Old Peculiar” good solid pub food menu and specials, great ale, reasonably priced.

The staff were very welcoming, the room was spotless, especially the bathroom. The added extras, i.e. dispenser in shower for shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, and hairdryer were a bonus. Very comfortable bed. Evening meal in the pub was excellent, and the breakfast was also very good. Would definitely recommend this place.

Stayed here for a wedding so location good for that. Very clean and comfortable rooms, great homemade pub food in the evening and good breakfast. Very good value for money and friendly staff

We didn't stay overnight here but we did have a lovely Sunday roast. It's a type of pub that you don't see that often now a days, what I mean is its a typical village pub. Food is only served between 12.00 and 2.30pm. What we experienced in the pub in way of service I would thoroughly recommend dining and staying here.

Great little English pub with a variety of beers and a good atmosphere. Unspoilt by progress. Good food too.

We stayed one night. Lovely location, very welcoming owners and surprisingly quiet for a pub.very cleaned and well equipped. Good choice of breakfast. The only downside was the beds. The springs could be felt under the sheet which made it uncomfortable and one of the pillows was almost flat. But for that, it would have had 5 stars. Recommended.

Lovely pub, very welcoming. Friendly staff and locals. Parking on site. Rooms basic but clean and they only have 3. Cooked breakfast is available to guests. Pleasant cannel walk close by

Posto molto carino, sia il pub che il bed&brekfast

Great beer, great staff, great food, great pub

Good food a little tight on room in pub

Good home made grub nice beer friendly staff and locals 👌

Lovely local pub. Friendly atmosphere

Our 3 rooms were ready on arrival and were found to be immaculate. Along the pub was sadly closed during the duration of our stay, the staff were welcoming and all requests put, were gladly met. The breakfast was found to be of the highest quality as the staff displayed enviable degrees of confidence, manner, attitude, diligence and enthusiasm. These qualities, together with a collective cheerful disposition, enriched our stay in this wonderful location. Many thanks!

Very nice spacious room, check in instructions are on the green double doors in the courtyard if you arrive out of hours! Quiet village location, didn't have time to check out the canalside pub but it looked very traditional and cozy. Location suited my work travel needs. Jogged around the neighbourhood and saw some well cared for gardens and jubilee bunting on nearly every house. Comfy beds, good quality pillows and ample biscuits! Unfortunately I left before breakfast (starts at 7am and you can text / WhatsApp your order the night before which I thought was a good system!) EXCELLENT value for money. Olde Peculiar pub was closed for the night of my visit. Local chippy was open & busy!

Great traditional pubs with good selection of guest ales and gins. Food is good value home cooked

Stayed overnight while undertaking a solo trip of the area. The accommodation was very comfortable and the pub/restaurant was very friendly and welcoming. Staff were very accommodating especially Claire who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasurable stay. I enjoyed a delicious evening meal as well as a hearty breakfast which set me up for the day. Highly recommended.

Fantastic hotel , staff very helpful and very nice food 👍

Fabulous evening with friends celebrating my 60th!!

We hold our business networking here and the owner is so helpful and friendly. Food is fab, I've had curry and pie so far!

Service great, very fast for a Sunday lunchtime. My husband was wowed by the beer - had a pint of Old Peculiar & said how smooth it was!

Stayed at this lovely 17th century coaching inn for one night on route to Scotland. Room was lovely and clean. Had food in evening and the lamb shank was to die for. My husband really enjoyed his lamb balti also!! My husband commented on the range and quality of the drinks after sampling most of them!!! A very interesting selection away from the normal offerings in most pubs. Breakfast was also top notch and the guys serving very friendly. Would definitely recommend and will stay again if ever in area. Thank you. Marjorie and Stuart.

Absolute great pub, homemade good food and wonderfull owners. Great stay at the bed&breakfast. Really recommend

Cosy, popular pub serving good pub grub

Beautiful pub decent food brilliant room

Popular real ale pub with good food offerings. Decent car park and B&B available.

They serve some decent beer with a cosy atmosphere.

Staff were lovely from start to finish. Pub food was good, typical pub food menu, all presented and tasted well. Our B and B experience not so great, single beds were uncomfortable and creaky and we could hear everything from upstairs. We paid for 2 nights but left after the first.

recommendable hotel, very delicious breakfasts and dinners. great service and contact with the owner

Arrived on our last night or our road trip and greated by a warm welcome the room was the family room and very clean & comfortable. All praise gose to AGGIE for her professionalism, frendliness and friendly banter (but she wouldn.t serve me a crisp sandwich 😀). And the owners for a great place to stay

It was absolutely awful! The lady was so disrespectful the shower was not working and I really needed to use it and she did not try to help me on the phone and then she slammed the phone on me and refused to even help! I did not even sleep the whole night and when I mentioned this to her she did not even care the bed was appalling had no springs in it and I assure you the bed was broken and I did not even get my breakfast she advised she would come to my room first thing I waited over an hour for her and I even text her many time and she ignored them I would never recommended this room to anyone. And thank you for responding to this message so promptly it would have been so nice if you dealt with my problem so promptly as well! May you learn to have a heart and be considerate running a business being so unprofessional!

Excellent staff, friendly cheerful and knowledgeable. Food was very tasty and well presented

Stopped by for a quick drink well surprised there was an 80s disco going on. Stopped a lot longer great atmosphere and the landlord was dressed as boy George had a few good dances.Really looking forward to going back against as Boy George (the landlord) told us he was going to do 50s.60.and 70s nights definitely going back. Well km done George

Such welcoming hosts with great food and a comfortable room

Great meal last night and must say once again thanks to Graham for the quiz. Non stop laughter. A proper night out

The beds were very uncomfortable. Far too soft and very creaky when you turn so couldnt get comfy. I felt the rooms could of been a little cleaner. Actually found someone else's hair on the underneath of the toilet seat. The breakfast was very nice and the staff were very polite and helpful. Great location for what we needed. The pub was a great classic pub. Unfortunately the accommodation let down our stay. The shower was so small I struggled to stand in it and wash. Not great for someone slightly bigger than the average size. Definitely needs some improvements.

This is a proper traditional English pub. Friendly & unpretentious. It serves one of the best pints of Theakstons Old Peculier I’ve ever had, in or out of Yorkshire, & I’m a Yorkshireman! I didn’t eat there but the rest of my family did. My partner said her chicken hotpot with mashed potatoes was really good. They get all their meat from a local butchers. Highly recommend.

Accommodation excellent, wonderful welcome & a fantastic breakfast. All making my visit to see family in Handsacre perfect. Thank you.

Great service friendly staff. Recommended a visit

Lovely hosts, very friendly. extremely clean and tidy rooms. Amazing breakfast and pub lunches. Would stay again
