Longwood Tamworth

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Clearly working hard to manage the customers they had and were attentive to our needs. The level of service from the staff was the saving grace for our experience here. We were shocked and disappointed at the quality of food from this pub. The food was awful and in places actually indedible. The prices are not reflective of the poor quality. We spent £52 for a family of four to be given food which was of worse quality than what I could buy in a supermarket for a tenth of the price. I am so appalled that a company such as Marstons would serve such low grade food to customers whilst still charging such prices. Plus there is room for the kitchen staff here to be given time to visually inspect the food before they send out to customers. If it looks terrible on the plate then it shouldn't be sent out! My sons mash potato looked like it had been trodden in. The sausages and fish fingers were such low quality - utterly tasteless and gritty in texture. My steak & ale pie had thick gluteness pastry and barely any filling. The best part of the meals was the gravy. Lord knows where the peas are from, they look half dead, a horrid, pale green/yellow colour and half of them squashed - is it really that difficult to boil a few frozen peas in a pan? And the Halloumi fries - which weren't even fresh. They were awful! Clearly fried in old oil and completely inedible. I really hope someone can read this and review any changes that may be possible. I understand theres a cost of living crisis affecting businesses too but this is just not acceptable standards and we shouldn't be expected to pay these prices for substandard quality.

We called in at the last minute and had a really lovely Sunday lunch. Friendly staff. Gluten free menu too
