Meal/atmosphere spoiled by one waitress. Two simple questions asked 'could they turn music down and could we have light batter on fish' a stroppy attitude to both questions.

yo cené aquí con mi esposa y mi familia (sábado en la mesa 8) y después de leer las críticas que pensé que podría venir de todos modos. Era un sábado ocupado y las dos niñas estaba funcionando muy difícil correr comida y limpiar las mesas. Aunque había una cola en el bar no nos importó. Una vez ordenados nos sentamos hablando y todo fue tranquilo, ya que había oído una muy grosera male tener un ir a la chica que estaba en el bar. Él era muy horrible a la chica y si me dije que no serían se quedó allí y lo usamos. Ella parecía muy enfadado y ella estaba intentando hacer lo mejor posible para solucionar el "situación". él estaba causando. La otra chica en el bar con el rubio/orangey pelo smirking como ella estaba disfrutando de ella y no hizo nada de la especie para ayudar a su amigo. Me sentí muy sentimos la chica y creo que no estaba mal. Algunas personas no pueden ser satisfechos pero mi experiencia por la noche era muy bueno. y sin duda comer aquí. que pena por el hombre para el camino que se porten bien. animales si me preguntas. Bien hecho a la chica para adherirse a ella y su negocio.

Pedimos 2 comidas, ya que mi esposa y yo decidimos que queríamos una comida de domingo. fue horrible. frío de comida sin personal para servir (llegamos a cambio de turno aparentemente), esperamos 5 minutos para el aperitivo, luego nos habían olvidado. Fui a ver el nuevo gerente de turno, buen amigo, pero cuando finalmente llegamos a lo que puede ser vehementes describir como el almuerzo del domingo, que parecía avergonzados, diciendo " ¡Oh! no tienen siquiera recoge su plato platos" !!enconces comida caliente en el mejor de los casos, sabía como sobras, no sólo puré mala calidad, congelados roasties, verduras duras, salsa fría y el personal han desaparecido. volver a casa y no esperar para el postre (que tenían probablemente olvidado, ya que nadie nos preguntó cómo nuestra comida fue! ).

Have never had such poor service. Food reheated I. Microwaves with salad garnish and mayonnaise still in plates. Too hot for the staff to even carry and that was just the starter. Main course inedable. Breakfast was a joke. No spoons for yoghurt and when asking for one getting glared at by staff. Cooked breakfast not too bad until staff member dropped cutlery down my back when clearing plates. Not even an apology! Worst service I have ever received! Thank goodness for the family I had with me making it better.

Sworn at, items thrown at us and left hungry!! never ever visit this place! Myself, my parents, my sister, her husband and our 4 children visited this restaurant today for lunch, although we never actually got to eat as a member of staff threw things at us and swore at us so we left! We had booked a table for lunch at 1, sat down and chose our food, after taking 20 minutes to get served to order our food, the lady behind the bar informed us it would be an hours wait for our food, no one had told us this before we waited to order, or before we were seated at our table, or indeed before she took 10 minutes to take our order. The children in our party were too hungry to wait that long so we asked for a refund as we would go elsewhere. The man serving us whose badge said team leader was unapologetic and starting to get aggressive. My sister said the situation could be diffused easily with an apology, to which he replied why should I apologise?! He then used the f word to swear at my sister and father, threw his key card at them, swept several items off the bar onto the floor and split a drink in his rage. The other member of staff behind the bar, who also had a badge labelled team leader was unphased by all of this and when we asked if she could complete our refund so we could leave said she was busy serving someone else! Shocking, upsetting and quite frankly unbelievable! This place is a shambles, never go! Believe all the other bad reviews on here, as the other diners in the restaurant told us their meals were disgusting with a long wait! Also notice that no one from this establishment has responded to any of the terrible reviews on here!

Service was quick, cheerful and place was comfortable and clean. What more could you ask for.

An affordable, family friendly location was required to meet distant relations in the Warwick area. The Sparrow appeared to be an appropriate location, meeting our collective needs. It was a Monday evening so the restaurant was quiet but unfortunately the torrential rain meant the ample outdoor playground was out of bounds.The 'Two for a tenner' deal appealed and the Children's menu offered enough variety to satisfy all but the fussiest of children. Interestingly the Children's food was probably the highlight of the meal with the Fish and chips option looking fresh and plentiful and was consumed with great relish by the kids. The Spaghetti Bolognese was ample for my toddler and 5 year old to share and disappeared quickly enough to suggest it was acceptable.The adult meals were inconsistent. I chose the half roast chicken and Jacket potato with salad. It was around £8 and would have been fine had the chicken not been reheated leaving it with a greasy, waxy coating. The other adults shared 2 for ten pounds meals but it was seemingly hit and miss. My sister in law had a Lasagne which she was scathing about. Cheap woody pasta, poor chips etc. Conversely my wife had the Gammon and double egg combo and said it was fantastic so seemingly if you order something that has to be cooked fresh and you won't be disappointed.The service was helpful and polite allowing us to open a tab and use the free Wifi. At £60 for five adult meals, four children's portions and 7 different drinks you can't really complain regarding value for money.

The food itself was good but the service on two separate visits was painfully slow, almost an hour for starters and then much the same to wait for mains. Not one if you are dining with kids. the wait was just too long for them.

Captive customers as we stayed in the adjoining Premier Inn, 8.30 reservation turned into a 11pm main course and a 11.25pm sweet !, they ran out of Cider so a Pub with no beer !.Breakfast and the manager was serving, complained about the night before, he will get back to me, still waiting, complained to head office, still waiting.Just give the place a miss, chips on the floor from the night before,hot and stuffy with no air, the girls behind the bar are lovely and very appologetic but still a bad experience.

We visited the Sparrow on three occasions whilst we were staying in Ansty,s Premier Inn and we both enjoyed our meals on all three, we had smothered chicken,boddingtons steak n kidney pud x 2,chicken burger,mixed grill, and sausages chips egg and peas over the period and all was well plus when we paid we received a £5 off our next visit when we ordered two main menu meals, they also have 2 meals for £10 deals plus various others.All the staff were helpful and friendly and the place itself was very nice it also as a first floor dining area and a large play area outside for the kids where weather permitting you can dine outside, give it a visit if you are in the area.

On Saturday 4th April I, along with 63 other guests, which included children, attended the Premier Inn restaurant for a celebration meal, which had been arranged weeks earlier, the meal was arranged for 7:30. We all gathered in expectation. At 9pm (2 hours late) we all started complaining of the long wait, we were told over and over again the meal was coming. At 10pm the dinners started arriving. Ughhhh what a disaster they were, the roast potatoes were burnt like charcoal, the gravy was full of lumps, instead of Broccoli I got a stalk with no florets, the chicken was only tepid. There were no condiments on my table so I asked the waitress for some salt & pepper, I was told most curtly "We are short handed, you will have to wait". Everybody in our party was complaining, owing to the lateness of the hour, the young children in our party were curling up on the floor. Enough was enough the whole party left the restaurant (function area upstairs). We could not refuse to pay as it was already paid for by our hostes. The next day the complaints started to pour in. The manager authorised a full re-payment, and profoundly apologised. This is one restaurant I will be avoiding like the plague. Oh and to finish off with the Manager promised that we would be receiving meal vouchers in the near future, I for one will return mine as I do not want to step inside the place ever againI would rate the following - Service - 0Food - 0Punctuality of meal - 0Civility - 0Rudeness- 10+

good pub food, plenty parking, quick service. not too expensive and quite a large menu. was very quiet when we went, but would go back. It is not a 'drinkers' pub, but family pub. The only thing I would not recommend would be the mash potato, as it looked and tasted like smash.

We enjoy coming to eat at this restaurant for the following reasons:Food is good quality, good value for money and a variety of choice of meals on the menu to suit most tastes.It's clean and tidy and decor is pleasant. It's very spacious which we like as we have a baby who requires a high chair but then we also have the space to keep the pushchair up (in case an emergency nap is needed!).The staff have always been very polite, friendly and helpful, considering they must miss out a lot on tips as you order food at the bar (although we leave a little something). You can book a table online and it does actually work! I love being able to use this online booking facility, you can add requests ie, pushchair space, and you don't need to speak on the phone to anyone, which I hate doing for some reason. There's a play ground outside for kids and a massive free car park.I've never seen it overly busy, which suits us as we like a peaceful meal out and not to be crammed in!

My husband & I ate here last night & were impressed. For roughly £30 we got 2 starters, 2 mains with a side & 4 drinks.It is in a nice quiet location & very family oriented. The food was delicious & great value for money. The downfalls were that the table was sticky, we had no salt on the table, when we pinched a pot off the table next to us it was that clogged up that nothing came out! Overall though, it was a lovely meal & atmosphere!

Had lunch here today and to be honest, it was very, very good. Restaurant was very busy and the waitress serving came over to seat us straight away. She was very pleasant and keen to ensure we were ok. The waitress serving behind the bar again was very pleasant. Had two jacket potatoes with quorn mince and side salad. Food was served promptly and hot and it was tasty and nice . Restaurant is also decorated quite well, it has a nice ambiance, despite a few children running around upstairs. Over all, I think it's much improved.

We were invited for a celebration but had reservations after reading other Tripadvisor reviews and looking at the menu on line - but, as I said we were invited for a special occassion. We arrived at night in torrential rain. The large car park was dimly lit but the entrance was welcoming. There was no one to greet us at the centrally placed 'lectern' so we wanderered around looking for a table of 12 which had been reserved in the smart comfortable half moon shaped room, adorned with festive swags and a huge realistic Christmas tree. There were several diners already at 7.30pm in the very large, comfortable room. A man appeared and we explained and he waved us to what could have been anywhere but confirmed the booking. Others of our party arrived and we sat down and chose the Christmas Menu as advertised on their website, 3 courses and a complimentary bottle of wine between 6 people. The head of our party had to go to the bar to order. Then the bar/waitress returned and told us there was no turkey to be had. We explained about the website offer which commences November 20 but she shook her head saying they had no turkey would have been purchased for only a handful of people. Wasn't 12 enough I though? How big are the turkeys? There was no mention of pre Christmas Fayre menus needing to be pre ordered. Sigh! So we re ordered. The she came back stating that there was no paté either so we re ordered again from their pub menu which was exactly what we didn't want! We chose between steaks, lasagna, curry, steak in ale pie, scampi, mixed grill and a pork chop for our mains with breaded mushrooms and a garlic mayonaise for a starter. As invitees we didn't comment to our kind host but between ourselves the lasagna was in parts dry and overcooked, a strange colour, tasted of tomato soup (both diners who chose this left most of it) the salad had a dressing, the garlic bread ample, but they plonked the lasagna dish (which we hoped had a clean bottom) straight on top of the salad on the plate that you from, the chips were tasty but very very dry. I had the steak in ale pie slice. Ale? I think it just cought the whiff of the brewers apron, the pastry was an uninviting grey brown, but proper short crust, the filling was ample, but again very dry with lumps of fat and gristle included, plus a tiny sauce boat again plonked right between and touching my pie and the very very dry chips and the peas. The gravy was tasty but very lumpy. An extra huge portion of onion rings arrived in a metal cornucopia basket which dripped oil on to the table. The desserts were all excellent. Giant chocolate or strawberry sudaes, black forest gateau, chocolate fudge cake. We ordered a caramel and treacle crumble with cream. Which arrived as a featherlight caramelised apple tart but they squashed the cream jug right next to the tart. Bizarre! We followed up with various liqueur coffees and expressos which were top notch Costa brand. We had been invited, so I cannot tell you the cost but from the menu the mains were between £13 and £7 but they did offers and I don't know if we qualified. I have chosen the overall rating as average as our mains were poor and desserts and coffee and service and venu excellent. However was not all good and they need a course on how to: present dishes properly, keep their staff informed what is not on the menu and it should match their website or vice versa. We enjoyed it because of whom we were with but as a couple we would not go back there.

Superb quiet and tranquil place to eat, the Sparrow Pub near Ansty defeats the argument that chain pubs are not the best. This one is. The menu is predictable if you have used Brewers Fayre in the past but there is something for everyone. However, despite the staff being rushed off their feet, we had good quality food served in good time by friendly staff. They really made us so welcome. Location is in the countryside and that is maybe why it is so peaceful despite being busy. The clincher for us is that, talking to others in the bar, locals use it regularly in numbers. Says it all really.

Took the daughter to celebrate her exam results and will never go again. Most of the beers were unavailable which was a great start, starters were good and then waited 45 minutes for main course to arrive even though the restaurant was reasonably quiet. And i think these meals had been put out by the chef and left on the side (forgotten), when i asked where our main course was waiter went to investigate and immediately returned with what can only be described as food reheated in a microwave, The steak i ordered medium rare was dried up and chicken was similar. So it was a real let down and one of the worst meals ive ever eaten in a restaurant
