The best restaurants serving British food in Forsbrook Staffordshire Moorlands West Midlands

22nd Dec 2024. - party of 20. All sat down for 12:30 afternoon, mostly elderly folk. I sat by the window.... very strong smell of sick on the carpet. Spoke to the staff, they left an air fresher to mask the stench. No real effort to clean the carpet or do anything with it. You could still see stains in the carpet from the sick. Not really room to move as the tablets were booked. Everyone had off the Xmas menu. I had prawn cocktail, very bland and really basic. The brown bread wasn't fresh, the crusts were hard ( either still party frozen, been left out to long or stale. The turkey, over cooked. Gravy , thick and like bisto (or was ). Roasts were anaemic.Green beans over done, carrots and parsnips not cooked enough (had more than a bite to them). Stuffing, well it was just packet stuff. The bass beer ! Flat! The staff were all teenagers, they did their best, of what they knew. There chef ( well) I don't think there is one, probably family member who's cooking skills are very basic (or lower). Overall, couldn't wait get out and get away from the stench of sick smell of the carpet. Whoever has given reviews of 5 , have very little standards of any culinary knowledge at all. I won't be returning and probably worst meal Iv ever had out and had to pay for.

Very friendly staff, excellent food and great prices. Atmosphere was warm welcoming. Loved having a look around the shop and garden centre.

My husband and I ate here on a Wednesday night. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The pub itself was a bit cold and there were several items off the menu however I had fish and chips and he had pie of the week. Both were well presented and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back.

We arrived for 1.30pm sitting and were shown to our table, drinks ordered and came promptly. Our order was taken within a few minutes, one 10oz Steak meal and a Vegetarian Pie, with Sweet Potato Fries and Mediterranean Vegetables. Food arrived about 30 mins after, Steak meal was good, my meal, my first thought was the vegetables were not as per menu and were over cooked, never gave it another thought until I cut into the pie and discovered it was Fish (Salmon) ! I was given the wrong meal. I spoke to the waiter and told him this is the wrong meal, he said, its what you ordered, I said NO, I am vegetarian and this is Fish, I ordered a Vegetable Pie. He apologised, said it will be 4 mins, and took away the wrong meal. When the correct meal arrived, the Sweet Potato Fries and Mediterranean Vegetables were over cooked. I ate most of the meal and then the desert that followed. I was very upset and didn't mention to staff about a 'hair' I found in the pie, I left that section of pie on the plate. A general observation, our table was sticky, not been wiped clean properly. The waiter offered a free drink, but charged me in full for my meal. Will not be revisiting.
