Bramblings - Redditch

Dined here with family for Sunday lunch. Husband had never been but I had on several occasions and raved about choice of starters and desserts. Imagine my disappointment to discover that starters was soup this was very tasty or a selection from salad bar which I would liken to a Harvester pub. There was no fruit salad for dessert which is remiss as after eating the main meal meat was delicious, vegetables mediocre a bowl of fruit is always a perfect end to meal for those that don't enjoy heavy desserts. The trifle looked a mess after a few portions had been served and cheese and biscuits looked OK. This was a special 40th wedding anniversary celebration but meal wasn't. Bring back the old starters and desserts!

Only 1 wine list for whole restaurant. Steak was not good quality. Overcooked veg with meals. Some staff were fab others needed a lot more training.

Went with family for birthday lunch. The starters main meal and desserts Were all very good. Plenty of choice and cooked well. As it was a buffet could have as much or little as you wanted

No seafood cocktails on buffet. Roast potatoes disappointing and broccoli was overcooked. Food was disappointing although apple crumble was lovely.

We have been dining here for many years, including Christmas Day, a wedding and a large family parties. Our ages range from 24 to 85 and we all absolutely love the restaurant and all the staff.
