The Roe Deer in South Staffordshire

Yesterday, I had a good look for a lovely place to meet up with my niece and sister for a long awaited catch-up. We wanted good food, comfortable surroundings, and a pleasant atmosphere. What we actually experienced was superb food, seriously, every mouthful, gorgeous and tranquil surroundings, total peace, even though there were plenty of other people enjoying the same. In addition to this, the staff were amazing and managed to make our experience even better. Thank you and Well done to all at the Roe Deer 🤩

Congratulations to this lovely restaurant, all the food is always excellent. They always go the extra mile to make each visit a great experience. Thank you

The Roe Deer had been recommended to us but living some distance away we hadn't managed to get there until today and it certainly didn't disappoint. Service was excellent from the moment you walked through the door and the place has such a nice ambience. Our meal was delicious, we had the Sunday Roast and there is plenty of it! A special mention must go to Mollie who looked after us today. She really was excellent, it makes such a difference when dining out! Thankyou. We look forward to visiting again soon!

First time visiting here and it certainly won’t be the last! Great food in a fabulous setting with friendly and attentive staff! Food was good quality and good portions

Amazing food as always. I went here with my friends and it’s great for a range of ages. The food is lovely - I had the stake sandwich only note is that they didn’t ask how I’d like the steak cooked but it was a medium to medium well I’d say so I was okay with that. One of my friends has a fish allergy which was taken seriously. We’d booked in advance which I recommend if you’re going at peak times such as a Friday night or at the weekend or if you have a bigger group (there were a lot of bigger groups that were seated when we went and wasn’t an issue). The place is like a stately home if it wasn’t one in the past it sure had that up market feel and makes for a nicer atmosphere. The food and prices are more expensive than a pub I’d say meals average around £16 but the food is a lot more elevated and the portion size was good too definitely left full. You can see a menu online to give a better idea of food and prices. They do have a function room upstairs which can be booked out as well and is a beautiful venue. I don’t frequent this restaurant as it’s a bit out of my way but I would highly recommend it for a more up market meal or for a more special occasion or just as a treat. I will definitely be coming back again in the future.

Food was excellent as always. What made our experience special was the care and attention given to our table by Gloria, a very special waitress. Gloria is always to keen to help and check we were happy with everything.

It’s a lovely place, the food is great and the service quick but the chairs by the fire smell of wee. It seems to be getting worse the last few months.

Our anniversary lunch at my wife’s favourite restaurant. Gloria was lovely and was very friendly and professional. It wasn’t our first visit and won’t be our last.

Thank you for a fabulous lunch. Special thanks to Gloria who made our visit special. So glad we have found this little gem in our area, we will definitely be back soon.

Went to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. Fantastic food and a great place for that special occasion. Gloria made the whole evening that extra special. Thank you so much we will be back.

Sunday lunch was beautiful the lamb was amazing and lots of meat. The cauliflower cheese was delicious. The roasties were too hard but I was already full! Gorgeous venue lovely staff. Cracked glass on the table was quickly sorted. Didn’t like the dogs being allowed inside not a trend I’m a fan off not hygienic.

We have been regularly dining at this stunning restaurant ever since it first opened but unfortunately the food has become very expensive and very poor. The last time we went, all of us had starters and mains, some of us deserts. On our return home we had cheese sandwiches feeling hungry and dissatisfied with our evening out. They continue to dish out discount tickets to encourage your return and I wonder is this how they warrant the steep prices for pub standard food?!

First time visiting, travelled 15 miles to meet friends here. Seemed to be in the middle of nowhere but had lots of parking. Food was ok, nothing special, and was quite expensive. We had to wait a long time for our food to come to the table. Only had a main as the price of the puddings put me off having one.

Stunning place. Fantastic atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive. Shame the food is so disappointing. The chips were overcooked and were clearly frozen . Some were so hard you couldn't put your fork through them !! It was no more than typical pub fayre. For the money we had high expectations but it was extremely underwhelming.

We had heard differing reports about the Roe Deer but thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Although the food was more expensive than we normally pay it was superb. The beer was also very good. My only criticism was the prices for the bottles of wine - far too excessive - reduce the prices and you will probably find people will drink more. The major plus point was the service we received, everyone was very attentive and helpful. A special mention to Liv, she was excellent!

Golden wedding ,family Sunday lunch,prebooked as it gets busy,updated and confirmed,we arrived on time,greeted on entry and shown to our large table,spacious, Ayoung lady named LUCY,looked after us,takeing the drinks order immediately,the drinks came in minutes,two servers bought these to our table,then Lucy took our food orders,patiently standing back and repeating the orders,right first time,while we waited we admired the surrounding,rooms,p,,eriod style in an elegent building,in pristine condition,with surrounding manacured gardens,and woods to wander through. The food arrived,superb roasts,mixed,with generous portions on large plates,all polished off by us all. The sweet choice was devoured by all,and more drinks,as it was our special day. We all agreed that the Serviced was EXCELLENT,the food well presented and tasty, we have been before when it first opened and since,standards have been maintained to date,so we will return,thank you.

Perfect Sunday afternoon lunch, food was gorgeous, reasonably priced, great service and lovely venue, would highly recommend and hope to return soon - thank you The Roe Deer.

I like the restaurant and the food, but my meal failed to turn up when our friends did. What was very good was that it was sorted out and we were not charged for my meal, desserts or coffee. That was very generous and much appreciated - thank you. The only thing i do not like is how the staff are dressed - jeans etc. To match the venue the staff should be smarter - not over the top but smarter or in a form of uniform. You have a lovely place so that should be reflected in every way. My meal mackerel salad was delicious and perfect for me as i have dietary problems. thank you and we would come again.

We had a lovely lunch here, such a beautiful building and grounds. Meals were good, I had the rainbow trout and hubby a steak. Will certainly return.

Went with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We had a breakfast, English and smoked salmon, both were delicious. Service was good and friendly. Definitely will eat there again for breakfast. Lovely surroundings and atmosphere.

Excellent lunch: great menu and environment. We were served by Alicia and her attention to detail, assistance and personality were a delight. We felt very well looked after.

We managed to get a table same day, not always possible here for an on spec lunch. It’s a beautiful setting and building, which makes everything feel special straight away. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table. Our waiters were Gloria and Caitlin. It was just fab to have smiles and conversation with them. Gloria told us all about the food and what made it special in her view. Parsnip soup and Fried Brie were served to start, piping hot and delicious. Hot bread accompanied the soup. The fish pie was just as Gloria had described, lots of proper fish chunks and large prawn, cheesy mash on top and fresh peas beans and baby onions. At Aragon sauce accompanied. The chicken and leek pie was delicious. A fab meal and lovely experience. Only sorry we hadn’t room for sweets.

We were taken to our table close to a large family who were allowing their children to run amok around their table and in the main hallway of the restaurant. Luckily the manager politely asked the children to remain seated as the restaurant was busy. He was very polite and courteous but the group thought it was appropriate to turn on him and complain. Their review is on here. Everyone close to this large party were very relieved when they party decided to leave. The meal we had was lovely and a lovely ending to my wife’s birthday. I highly recommend this restaurant as the food quality, staff efficiency and politeness is second to none.

We have been to the Roe Deer on numerous occasions with a group or as a couple we were late booking but they fitted us in and put us in a small quiet room as requested. The food was lovely as always, and our waitress Natasha looked after us well. We can highly recommend this restaurant for food quality ambience and lovely staff

I am writing this review after tonights experience. There was a family with young children who allowed their kids to run riot around the room and around my table. I am not complaining about the kids but i felt compelled to write this review due to the behavior of the rude obnoxious parent who had pop at the waiter for calmly asking the kids to sit at the table. The poor lad didnt deserve the attitude never mind the cursing when he was just doing his job. service good, food great although quite pricey!

So very disappointed with our visit here. Firstly, one of our children’s meals came with a woodlouse on. We were very understanding and didn’t make a scene, saying these things happen. they offered not to charge for that meal and it was returned. Then towards the end of the meal (2 hours) our entire table of 12 were shocked by his attitude and aggression towards our children and so were others in the room. When challenged on his behaviour he said “ I shouldn’t have to tell your children to be seated at the table” we weren’t aware of any issues, and no one had come over to say so. It’s a dog and family friendly pub, supposedly. They children really weren’t causing a problem, and were playing quietly, sat on the floor. The children were very shocked and scared by him. We are very upset and will not be returning under the current management.

Today me and my family had a lovely meal at the Roed Deer. Service and food were exceptional. The only bug bare was a family hell bent on ruining the experience for everyone else. Not only were they loud and quite frankly rude they were allowing their children to run rampage around the restaurant. A manager did ask them to sit down but this was maybe a little late. I would have asked them earlier. It’s family friendly but not a playground! This won’t out me off returning!!!

We have been to the Roe Deer on regular basis over the last three years. Either as a couple of in a small group. It is consistently good and today was no exception. Nice comfortable atmosphere, very good service and excellent food. Really good service from Gloria tonight, not for the first time. One small issue, I really enjoy non alcoholic lager on draught. Recently went to another B&P pub/restaurant and they had a very good non alcohol on draught. Please follow suit if possible.

Lovely atmosphere, great food. Expensive but worth the money. Went with a large family group for birthday celebration and had a private room upstairs. Was excellent.

I went with two members of the family for an evening meal on Saturday 16th March. I was delighted that our meal was managed by Gloria our waitress who I knew from previous visits how very professional she was. Gloria was attentive and efficient, pleasant and ensured all was with well with the meal. As always the food was delicious and all of our needs were satisfied.

We had a lovely evening with friends celebrating our 40th Anniversary. On arrival the welcome was very friendly as were all the staff even though it was extremely busy. The food was excellent & between us we had starters of Baked Brie & King Prawns...

Food was very good,but we could have done without the 3 waitresses having a loud conversation about pregnancy, how long they had been working there and other private matters,behind us.they were far to loud and I'm sure people,as where us found it embarrassing.

We've just left The Roe Deer, and we had a fantastic experience! We were served by Natasha, who was lovely, and the food was amazing - as was the beautiful atmosphere! My partner and his friend really enjoyed their Trout, while I had an amazing...

Firstly, the food was very nice. However, I had the pan fried chicken ‘Main’ course whereas my wife had cheese and potato pie. Hers was a reasonable lunch time portion but mine was little bigger than a starter. As I say, very nice but small....

I made a reservation for a Friday Evening. We arrived to find the car park was full. No problem it’s a busy restaurant which is a good sign in my book. I then called the restaurant to see if there was an overflow car park...

First time eating here - wasn’t disappointed! Had the baked chicken, chorizo & mozzarella ciabatta followed by the waffle dessert - great service from Gloria - beautiful setting - sun shining on a February afternoon - nothing better! Will definitely be back.

Nice venue and good staff but the food has really gone down hill. Have sent my food back to the kitchen the last 2 times I have visited. Both times my meat was un cooked. Shame, this used to be a lovely place.

Visited with friends for an early dinner. Friendly greeting and escorted to table. Drinks order taken and quickly delivered. Comprehensive menu with good vegetarian choices. All our food- starters mains and desserts were extremely good and of a very good size, we all cleared our...

Once again fabulous food at The Roe Deer this evening enhanced by our wonderful waitress Gloria. She is a superb host and looked after us brilliantly. Thank you Gloria, The Roe Deer is lucky to have you.

The wife and I plus two close friends had a great evening here. They had been before and suggested we give it a try as we hadn't. Not knowing anything about the place I have to admit that it exceeded my expectations. The first thing you will notice is how well presented it is, the second is how large it is, yet it still has a cost feel. It's not perfect, but where is? There were some 'issues' incl, rock hard sprouts, no parsnips, missing off the last course of the Christmas menu, and not clearing the glasses off our table. Despite these, the plus points far outweighed a few minor niggles. It's not cheap but we felt it was worth the extra cost as we enjoyed the evening so much. To be fair this may have been helped by the the Christmas atmosphere and a rather pleasant choice of drinks. So impressed with the above visit that we have returned for a Sunday lunch. It was very good, especially the excellent beef but I thought they could have done a bit better with the vegetables. The green beans were a bit too firm, only a quarter of a roast carrot, and some savoy cabbage. Perhaps I would order an additional side next time but it would turn out to be rather expensive? The service was better though but of course it depends on who looks after you. Also note that it is dog friendly.

Our first visit here but not for some of the family. 1st impressions is that the establishment is in lovely surroundings and moving into the building is equally impressive. We were here for my brother-in-laws 60th,there were 11 of us and we were seated in the library (and yes the books are real). We ordered from the menu's which were set for that particular day. Fish and Chips 4 Steak and Ale pie's along with the 3 crispy beefs salads. a burger and sausages and mash along with a mac and cheese for our 3 year old niece were ordered. All were well presented and all plates cleared. Price vist,some dishes on the menu are maybe a tad overpriced for what is basically 'pub' food though nicely presented in nice surroundings (but these day's i suppose the establishment is paying more for ingredients, staff costs etc) so don't let that put you off visiting. All the staff at the bar and the servers were polite and friendly and all our party enjoyed the experience. Will i visit again, a big YES.

This is a very homely venue serving very good food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We were delightfully looked after by Gloria who added to our enjoyment of our lunch. We think that this a grat place to meet with friends.

I've been a number of times with my dad, it's always been a lovely experience. We went again today for his birthday lunch. The food was gorgeous, the choice of drinks long and Gloria who looked after us was lovely, even going out of the way to get the recipe for the pate. Would very much recommend.

A lovely Birthday treat. Lovely food and great service ..Gloria did us proud! Beautiful surroundings. We will be back.

Excellent meal again in comfortable surroundings. Excellent service from Gloria. Good value for money. One of our party has allergies and the special menu listing allergies was very helpful.

Let’s start by saying I am now in a possible minority by not owning a dog and I appreciate that venues are desperate to get as many “bums on seats” as possible. Anyway, let’s start at the beginning, we were met by some very friendly...

We came for Sunday Lunch. The food & service were superb. Beautiful spacious rooms in a beautiful building set in lovely grounds. We were served by Gloria who was friendly, helpful & very efficient Thank you. Would strongly recommend.

We went here for a birthday Breakfast, the staff were all really lovely. The food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious.

This is a lovely spot with good food and service. The atmosphere was also nice as the interior is grand yet cozy. My only bug bear was being asked to move from the table as it was apparently required for someone else... there were loads...

We came for lunch today, lovely atmosphere! Our server Lorraine was really friendly and efficient. Food was delicious and great service. Couldn’t ask for more.

Simply the best food you could ask for, here to celebrate a friend's birthday. One of us had the sea bass, which was superb. 3 of us had the steak and ale pie. Now, I confess to being a bit of a 'pie-ist", and this...

Lovely ambience and food excellent. Our waitress Gloria made the evening for us. She was so attentive and professional. Couldn’t fault her pr anything else

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends in beautiful resturant. Good choice and quality of food. Nice atmosphere. Thanks to our server Elysia who was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go again.

It was my second visit here and both times I’ve not been particularly impressed with the quality of food but I thought I’d give it another go as the building itself is really beautiful, spacious inside with a good variety on menu for cater all....

Good food but little choice and expensive for what it is needs greater choice and bigger portions. Surroundings beautiful

The staff here was extremely rude!! In particular one blonde women spoke to my husband disgustingly. I didn’t get the name of the women. If you see a young blonde girl than stay away.

So disappointing. Hovered in the bar waiting for someone to notice me and take me to the table we had booked. After 15 mins no one had come to take a drinks order so I went to the bar to order. Kids screaming,running round doing...

We went to the Roe Deer to celebrate 2 birthdays. The young lady who served us was lovely. Jowvere, the service was really slow and some of the food was warm, not hot. Not good value for money

Roe Deer need to get their act together! Visited for breakfast, had table in bar. Stood at counter to order for over fifteen mins. Staff totally ignored me, looking at phones, wondering round looking lost! We left without being served. We won’t be returning.

We went out tonight for my sons 30th birthday party. We were a table of 8 and were served by Gloria. We had fabulous service. Food was lovely and we all had different dishes. We all had a great night, thank you!!!

Eaten her on 5/6 occasions. Unfortunately the service tonight was awful. Waited 45 mins for our starters (bread, oil and vinegar) and another 1 hr for our main course !

We went in December so expected the place to be busy, slow service at the bar but looked to be short staffed, not a big deal for us. Seated and ordered our food. The meals are always well presented however my Sons sausages were overdone...

We had starters which were nice however our mains very disappointing . Small overcooked hake wrapped in panchetta which was dry and hardly any panchetta. I asked for the mixed veg instead of fennel and carrot as dont like fennel. I was told this was...

Have been to Roe Deer many times, but this is the first time attending for Christmas meal with family, 10 of us, 3 were children. On arrival the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. Had a drink at the bar and when we were ready we...

Never again!!! Not shown to our private dining room on arrival, just told where to go. We arrived in the room for our Christmas Dinner with not enough plate settings set. We got another small table to add on to large table and asked for...

Christmas Day meal booked 2 years in advance, service and food excellent, but atmosphere disappointing. We have been numerous times for meals and celebrations with family and friends and our daughter and have always thought it was child friendly but on this occasion it was...

The food is just excellent here, gorgeous place and lovely friendly staff. Cannot recommend highly enough. Absolutely first class.

Having eaten at the Roe Deer since it opened it is a shame it is going downhill. I attended a Christmas meal with friends as I do every year,, the service was good but the food average, many items on the Christmas menu not available,...

Very poor service from the start of our evening . We had a pre booked room upstairs as there was 14 of us. Three attempts to get the starters even ordered, Empty glasses for most of the time due to terrible service and come the...

Very disappointed. We looking forward to our yearly Xmas dinner with our friends. The actual place was very nice. The starters arrived and were very nice but the next two courses were not. Main course arrived I had ordered the sausage and mash, three well...

Our first visit .Must say it was a very relaxed atmosphere and we were never rushed.Food was off a high standard and service good Seven friends attended and everyone had a lovely time Thank you

We have had many meals at the Roedeer and have never been disappointed. On this occasion the food was still excellent, very tasty and arrived hot. The staff are lovely, friendly and attentive. However, atmosphere was ruined by 4 dogs barking at the next table....

Booked an upstairs room for 14 of us to celebrate Christmas. Room was laid out with crackers but no standard menu’s provided and table laid out for more people. The waitress was pleasant and tried her best. She explained she had been working at Roedeer for only a week. I reassured not to worry and we would be considerate and help as much as we could.We ordered starters and waited. It was a shame as this waitress should not been put in this position to look after 2 large parties. She eventually called for help and a supervisor attended who apologised. This was after ordering the starters on 3 separate occasions and waiting along time for drinks. Over an hour wait for starters. I took the drinks orders to help the waitress along. The food was good but spoilt by these issues. I sorted the bill out with another waitress as ours had finished her shift. No thanks or pleasantries from this new waitress. Would I re visit ?.. Not sure now. No communication from management since or apologies received. Very poor. Hopefully someone from a Brunning and Price will read this and my other feedback provided to the Roedeer. Not sure though as they do not seem to respond on review sites.

To many dogs in there no atmosphere food is no different to other places prices are quite steep service a bit slow not for me I'm afraid
