Visited here for a drink, was not made aware of renovations going on, spoiled by constant drilling, the place was freezing, staff not particularly welcoming and glasses were

Worst dining experience everWhere do I begin... there were so many issues!! My sister travelled down as I wanted to take her out for her birthday and saw there was a good overall rating so chose this place. Biggest mistake ever!!! We arrived, there was no acknowledgement, just stared at by the barman and people at the bar; had to say we had arrived for a meal and I had just called about it. Were taken upstairs, although they could see we had a baby had to ask for a high chair. Chair arrived wet and still dirty but this happens at other places so I cleaned it again. Then he came to take our drinks order and there was no drinks menu and he didn't know what all of them were and couldn't describe them properly. The 'fizzy' drinks were flat and one of them was tasteless. Asked for straws. None available. Ordered our food. The barman runs upstairs after a few minutes to say the chef has burnt 2 lots of the pork so only one left. The other starters didnt appeal so he said he'd give a garlic bread for free. After waiting ages, it all finally arrives. There was only one other table at this point and it was before 6p.m. The pork belly bites are still a bit burnt but covered up with bbq sauce, the tomato soup is raw and bland, and the garlic bread is passable. My 18 month old is starving by now so eats most of the garlic bread. I had already asked for them to bring her food out first and they didn?t. Mains arrive after another long wait. Fish fingers are hand made ones but completely burnt and the fish is completely dry inside them, hunters chicken bland, pasta passable, sizzling chicken is soggy chicken with raw garlic and a ridiculous amount of chilli in it... and I eat alot of spicy food. By now were all so hungry so we ate it but I sent my babys food back as it was not edible. The chef agrees its burnt and blames the breadcrumbs and ask if they can make it with batter instead and I say thats fine. After we finish were left for another 35 minutes waiting ignored by other waiting staff so I go downstairs to see where our waiter is. No sign of him, I then ask for the dessert thats part of the childrens meal we were told about earlier and everyone denies it comes with one and they dont know what I'm talking about! My sister really wanted to treat herself to a dessert but with their behaviour we decided we just wanted the bill and to leave. Only one person apologised who was the other waiter who agreed we had not had good service. I give feedback as per above regarding our experience and they call the owner over. I tell him how disappointed I am about the evening as per everything I've detailed above, I ask why we were given the wrong information about the childrens meals. He gives a watery excuse about 'transitioning staff'. I tell him then the responsibility is with him to train them. He denies the food was bad and says they've never had a bad review like this.( I then find out on reading details of other reviews later that he's just plain lying). I tell him that instead of being defensive he should apologise and he says 'I'm sorry if you feel disappointed but we know how good we are and pride ourselves on this'. At which point, I let him know that he was unprofessional and that was not an apology by any means! I also told him, the only professional person was the waiter who wasn't taking care of us that actually apologised as he realised we had been treated badly. I also reminded him that the chef admitted had burnt the food. I then tell him I don't want to hear any excuses, I just want to pay my bill and leave this nightmare of a place. I think they thought I wouldn't be able to pay it??? And was angling for free food??? Ridiculous. That was the point when he apologised properly. They took the drinks off the bill and 2 pounds off the 'childrens meal deal'.My advice since you dont know what you might get on the day in terms of professionalism, food quality and hygiene... AVOID THIS PLACE!!!

2nd year running we have held our works Christmas Party at Olivers? Again it did not disappoint?. We decided not to have the Christmas menu and have the Gastro menu instead as the variety suited all of our palates?. Catering for 15 of us? All 3 courses was excellent? Kane and his team ensured the drinks flowed all night so we could all relax and enjoy the night?. A very big THANK YOU from all @ Selwood?.

What a great disappointment. The chef apparently burnt the belly pork starters so we couldn?t have the numbers of dishes are required. The first waiter was reasonable at a push. Then when the only belly pork came that could be made came it was okay but overdone. Then my niece?s food was burnt/overdone so they had to make something else. To add insult to injury the manager was rude and did big know how to apologise

We had a celebration meal for 26 people here last week, and could not have been happier. Staff were extremely helpful, food was excellent and service was superb; serving 3 courses to a large party promply and without fuss. Cannot recommend Olivers highly enough

We went to have our Sunday dinner at Olivers today. We often go there for food or the sister pub the Lion in Brinsley. This is hands down one of the best roast dinners you will have. We've been coming here for years now for the food but also for the live entertainment and drinks. They work really hard to provide a broad spectrum of entertainment and it's always a great night out at the weekend. The bar staff are great and today we were served by a really lovely lady who couldn't have been more friendly. Just as an extra today we ate for free. We live local and our house had been damaged by the flood. The owner not only came and helped us local residents with our homes but then fed us all for free, which speaks to the kind of people who run Oliver's. So if you want a beautiful meal friendly staff and a real community feel with people who are passionate about what they do, then this is the place for you. Top tip, try the pork belly bites. You won't be disappointed.

Found this amazing bar and kitchen after staying in a local hotel and having two awful meals. Ordered a house burger and a portion of dirty fries and a pint of neckoil. Burger was really nice and the dirty fries were good as well, highly recommend for a nice pint of ale and simple food cooked well.

The food was quite good, but the service was awful, not enough staff. Poor girl was on her own, tried her best, not her fault, management to blame all the way.
