Unfortunately we had quite a disappointing experience at The Saracens Head - specifically the service let it down. We dined with our family to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. My parents were the first to arrive and were told by a male front of house staff member (who was yawning whilst speaking to them) that the table was only booked for 2 people. Once the rest of the party arrived, my brother approached the front of house team to show them the booking confirmation that our booking was for 6 people and they stated that this was an error with a third party booking system. However we were very grateful that they were able to accommodate us. The first waitress to serve us had quite a poor attitude and was a little too confident and over friendly and actually really quite sarcastic, which at times was a little overpowering and inappropriate. Our food arrived which admittedly was good! The young male front of house member who served our main meals asked if we wanted any sauces etc and we then asked if we could order more drinks - we then noticed he walked off and rolled his eyes. Again - poor attitude! We ordered desserts - £8.50 for the tiniest, flattest sticky toffee pudding ever (see photos). Once our plates had been cleared, we sat at our table for a good 45 minutes whilst the front of house staff closed down the restaurant around us and totally ignored us. We asked for the bill and the female front of house member (I assume to be a manager) asked us how our evening was, to which we were a bit hesitant and made it clear that we weren’t too pleased. She never asked any further questions or acknowledge this and allow us the opportunity to explain how we felt about our experience. We gave her another chance to rectify this by asking to take the service charge off - something we have never done before and actually felt really quite harsh in doing so, but we didn’t feel a service charge was warranted and this was the final chance. This was quite awkward when paying the bill, especially when we were not asked why this was. We left the venue and felt that this member of staff was a little disdainful when we said goodbye etc. This is a real shame and I am not one to complain, nor leave a poor review. However, I wanted to take the opportunity to raise my complaints as I was not given the opportunity to do so during our visit. It seems like this place is being ran by inexperienced, young members of staff with a slight lack of respect for their paying customers.

Great value food especially on the lunch menu. Pullman carriages need a bit of tlc on the outside but as a small business owner I can forgive this as times are tough and all the essentials were in place - food, service and value. I hope the new manager is able to get the carriages repainted outside as is the plan apparently. Outside of the train carriages the place appears to have been refurbished and love the area for kids as well - a great idea! Was reasonably busy when we arrived and was filling up as we left (early evening) which was great to see. Will definitely be back!

Hands down the best Chinese in the area. Every dish I've had from here is unreal. Best of them all has to be the special fried rice, the meat all tastes great and the sauce is so good. Travel a good way to get here because of how good it is. Definitely recommend.

Not had a meal from here for a while. Friend told me it was really good at the moment. And it was. Special chow mein pork fried rice and SS chicken balls all very nice. Think £2.40 for prawn crackers is unnecessarily expensive especially as others give them free. All the good was good and service was quick.

Each time we have ordered from this restaurant the food has been really hot and nice, the duck rice with the sauce on is my favourite as it's beautiful, melts in the mouth and goes great with most things This is our go to chinese food place after changing from another which ended up being disgusting, Great food!

My mother in law, Valerie Foster, had a lovely time at a friend’s anniversary celebration recently. She said that the service was brilliant and the food perfect . Hannah and her team did them all proud, so a “big thank you” She wouid thoroughly recommend The Royal Oak in Gnosall to friends and family.
