I came back today with 5 friends despite the disappointment of our last meals. I was due a free drink from the app but it wouldn't work when various members of staff tried it so i never got it. I couldn't bring myself to have another mixed grill after the last one I had was so disappointing. I had scampi and chips instead. The scampi tasted like it was fried in old oil and the chips were undercooked and hard so were the peas. My friend said his chips were the same but enjoyed the fish. Another friend had a greek chicken wrap dish and said it was lovely. My veggie friend struggled to find anything on the menu she could eat so had a salad and chips. Having eaten here for 15 plus years it's a shame. As I said on my last review..portions are smaller and quality is not as good as it used to be. I have given numerous 5 star reviews in the past but I have to be honest when things aren't so good

We visited on a weekday evening and it wasn’t hugely busy. The food is reasonably priced with good portions. The staff couldn’t do more for you. You had to order at the bar, and they were very knowledgable. The waiter was super friendly too. We will definitely come back! Tip: Dont forget to put your number plate in on arrival

We use this pub often and its okay but has 2 ongoing issues that the staff just don't seem to care about:- 1. They make up closing time on a whim - last night we were refuse service at 10.40. I could live with that if last orders were called or flashed as they used to be but it never happens! The website clearly states 11 pm closing. 2. The craft beers are never available! Last night 4 of the 5 were off and this is a daily occurrence. Are the staff incapable of keeping them or don't they order enough, its barely worth offering them! As an aside the tables are always dirty with little effort made to clean them once people have eaten & left - its a case of do it yourself!

It's my local pub for the football we all have a great laugh whichever team we support. I recommend this pub for families because it's so friendly, get down to the Sharmans Cross for a great beer in Solihull.

We've lived near the sharmans for 20+ years. It's a great community hub, having young children who are now of drinking age it was always a convenient stop, to meet up with friends. Historically it was always a bit hit and miss on the general standard of food, drink and atmosphere. However, since nick and the new team took over and a much needed make over / renovation was carried out, the place is just amazing. Not had a bad meal, a real sense of a good old community pub, Maddie and all the bar staff are always friendly and helpful, In one instance we had a last minute request for a table of 12, Liam the supervisor went above and beyond to clean tables and arrange an area for us to dine in. love calling in at all hours of the day, Would highly recommend for a cheeky pint, night out or a good value high quality meal.

A girl named Jess was very rude to me and did not serve me when I patiently waited and kindly asked if I was next, the cheeky girl gave me a side eye and served the person next to me and then walked off the bar after telling me I was next. She then told me I was being rude when I wasn’t she was very sarcastic and I would hate to have someone like that work in my pub. She needs to learn some manners and how to work behind a bar she is a very disrespectful young lady and very mouthy only serves the young boys that catches her attention I will not be coming back here and will mention to my friends and colleagues how this young lady treated me she puts a bad reputation on the pub and has clearly been raised wrong… picking young lads to flirt with instead of the customers patiently waiting!!! Very annoyed and slow service at the bar.
