Sizzling Pubs Reviews 

Went to the Hare and Hounds Lowton. it was around 4.00pm, so it was quiet. I ordered the salad, with an add on of rump steak. No rump steak was available. I thought, here we go again! So had to choose a different option. Salad came minus the cabbage and carrot. For the price, there wasn't even that much salad to begin with. There was a sauce/dressing included that sounded delicious. But it came in such a tiny dish, I could hardly taste it. A couple of teaspoonfuls worth. Every time we go to a sizzling pub, there seems to something 'not available' on the menu, (it was burger buns previously)! Or there's something missing from your plate when it arrives. How can they not get a simple salad right? Not as if they were run off their feet. Gave 3 stars because food came pretty quickly, and what we did get was well cooked.

Had a family meal of 11 of us at The Black Horse in Rainhill, Merseyside on 29/10/24. Food was amazing for the the very fair prices, my steak was done to perfection and everything stayed piping hot to the last mouthful. Very clean pub and fair customer service, but one slight criticism was that the staff seemed to be a little flustered and rushing although the pub was not that busy at 18.00 hours.

We visited Blossoms in Lytham on Friday & had a very decent meal. Food & service was fine.
As we were staying in the area for another day we visited the establishment again on Saturday. The experience this time was somewhat different
We both ordered steak which neither of us could chew. We had taken our two dogs who enjoyed the meat
We called over the waitress showing her the gristle which was still on my plate. To her credit she apologised
The chef appeared but ignored us & ordered a pint from the bar
We acknowledge steaks can be good & sometimes not so good but for two steaks to be totally inedible is strange
It would have reduced the feeling of being cheated if the management came & spoke to us
James,

Food average.. Service could be better

Terrible service tonight at the Pied Piper in Middlesbrough. Staff on mobile phones while I was waiting to be served. Food took over an hour to come out and was luke warm....it's a Tuesday and wasn't busy! Very disappointing

Highly recommend the Rose and Crown, great food, brilliant service with very friendly staff. Pub is very cosy atmosphere and is very clean.

I was in the windmill the service was great and the waitress Jule was a breath of fresh air very efficient and always cheerful

I went to the one in cardiff earlier. groupon deal. was great :)

I went to the Bryncoch with my elderly aunt. Whilst the food was very good the service was poor.
The lady at the door who seated us was very shouty and bossy and somewhat rude.
The boy behind the bar was very good but there was one server for a full restaurant. Had to wait ages whilst my food was going cold .
Disappointed and not a particularly pleasant experience: very perfunctory

What a difference a week makes, went the week prior and it was lovely, friendly staff, nice atmosphere good food, this time the staff could not be anymore miserable if they tried, completely uninterested, five of of us eating, the fifth meal didnt come out until everyone else had finished and none of it was of the same quality as the week before, very disappointing

Booked a balcony table at the RedLion, Shrewsbury for dinner 10th September. Told where to find the table, not where we were told. The reservation slip had been moved to a table with high bar stools. We were not amused one with a stick, one 81 and the third more able bodied. Couldn’t manage the high stools. The bar was crammed with people waiting to order drinks and or food. When finally hearing the wait for food was an hour we left. Will never give the Red Lion another visit. Unfortunately one star is one too many. Have asked for all the data they hold on me to be removed.

Amazing food and pleasant atmosphere and lovely staff the praire burnley

We went to the Phantom Coach in Coventry where I had booked a catering function for 40 people for after my wife's funeral but I was bitterly disappointed with the buffet food that was laid on. There was no way that what was provided was sufficient for 40 people, luckily many people attending, including myself, did not eat anything otherwise there would have been many hungry people there. When I went to pay the bill, I mentioned my opinions to the person that was serving me and he passed on my concerns to the manager but she was not interested, no sign of any apology or even any comment from her. I begrudgingly paid the bill in full and left the building in disgust. Although this is my local pub and go there quite regularly for meals I will now be very reluctant to go there again.

We went for a meal to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday at the Fox & Hounds. After ordering drinks we waited for the starters, looking around the restaurant the floors were filthy, the blinds in the conservatory were dirty and full of dead insects, the men’s toilets were closed, meaning they had to use the disabled. In there the floor had puddles of urine all over, a slip hazard for anyone disabled or not. The starter came out 45 minutes later, cold. The food was of poor quality. A refund was requested and given. The manager looked like a gardener, the whole place reflected very badly. The pub is dirty, in desperate need of renovation and somewhere to give a wide berth to. It ruined a family celebration. As a further note today, the individual that responded to me needs to get their facts straight. I did not interact with your staff it was another family member. I am complaining to Mitchells & Butlers about the attitude of this employee.

We are regular customers of The Crown and we had booked a table a few days ago as we were meeting up with our friends. I had booked online and had requested table 4 or 5. When we arrived someone was sitting on table 4 but table 5 had not got reservation on. We decided to sit in table 5 but could not understand why it had not got reservation on it, then my husband spotted the reservation card (which was showing table 4) which looked as if it had just been moved to another table. We think the people in table 4 had ignored the reservation and sat there and just discarded the reservation on another table. We asked a member of staff but they didn't know anything about it

Other than that the food was excellent.

We regularly visit the Cannon pub in Worksop and are always met with a friendly and professional service.

The food is always delicious and we enjoy our visits

Went for meal on a Monday night. Pub was very quiet. All the tables were dirty, I had to wipe ours down with a napkin. Carpet throughout was sticky. Toilets, not the best. This pub is in desperate need of a refurb. Outside in the pub car park was a man revving his motorbike to which he then drove it out the car park with no helmet and raced up the road. Food however was quite quick and very reasonably priced. We’ll not be returning in a hurry. This pub was The Red Lion in Bath

Visited The Ram Arnold.
5 Adults. 2 Children under 6.
Unable to provide 1 sausage and small mash for a child. Had to buy Adult portion.
£1.75 for a dash of lime juice with tap water.
Quality and inability to diverse explains why plenty of empty tables at 1pm.

I thoroughly enjoyed my evening out at the stag in Orrell. My mix grill was excellent and the service I received was outstanding from Sam. Thanks 10out of 10

I went here with 2 friends. I ordered teriyaki chicken and salad for me and my friend. The other friend ordered the mixed grill which was literally sizzling on the serving dish. Everyone enjoyed it and not too much food that I couldn’t eat a whole ice cream angel cake and squirty cream desert. They had a deal on the salads and then there was the rock star cocktail that was on a deal if we got two. They were really tasty and we ordered another one. The other friend was driving so he ordered a Pepsi. Staff were lovely and the food was lovely no one wasted anything. Prices were very fair.
