Lunch indoors during the winter months next to the log fire or just reclining in the comfortable arm chairs is a heart warming joy. The food is always excellent, from a large yet mainly traditional British menu. They have a well stocked wine menu and plenty of guest/traditional beers & ales. The ONLY downside is that the establishment is a bit small in size (indoors) and so on popular nights can get quite cramped but in the summers months the outdoor seating helps to alleviate this problem.

The Green Man pub is one of a chain of pubs owned by Vintage Inns, with several chains in the West…read moreMidlands area. In tamworth, The Tame Otter is the other Vintage Inn pub. The Green Man is tucked away down a long winding country lane, as you head toward the M42 from Tamworth. It's always been known locally as a gastropub with lots of national awards, until a few years ago, it attracted the attention of Vintage Inns, and was bought up. They still do great food, but the menu is a bit cheaper, and the wines and beers and menu items are to be found throughout the country. The food is always well-cooked, with nary a hint of frozen fare. The beers are plentiful, with some nice bitters on tap. The wines aren't that interesting, and I think the entire chain could use a bit of Sommelier advice. When I see Hardy's on a wine menu, I run for the Nottage hills, and don't take the place's wine advice. The Green Man is in an 18th century building -- beware of the ceiling if you're a taller chap, with great patina and character. It's very comfortable, and is set out in a circular pattern -- if you can't find a seat, just keep walking to your right! All the chairs and couches are very comfy, and there's lots of private nooks for a couple or a small group to chat quietly. The gardens are very pretty and expansive, and if the sun continues to shine, get out there and enjoy your food!

The interior is homely and warming and there are chunky wooden furnishings and exposed beams. I had not been since I was a child I am loathed to admit, but it was my birthday and we just wanted a nice relaxed intimate family meal. we were not disappointed. With so much other stuff going on we did not get there until half two and they were just finishing serving meals. The landlord quickly went to speak to the chef and they happily continued service just for us. The choice was not vast - basically either sunday roast with a choice of 4 meats. Or baguettes and salads if you are wanting something lighter. I would easily eat a roast beef dinner every day of the week if I could so the decision was not hard. The portions were just right and the meat was so tender it just melted in your mouth. The veg was cooked just right too. The staff made a fuss of both of our children, and even gave my seven year old boy a free coke as he had been so good with his manners!!!!! We will certainly be back. Oh and the chef even came out of the kitchen and asked us if the food was ok.

First the good - the owners are a really friendly and sociable couple - from Lithuania it turns out. Really nice people. The place is spotlessly clean, and not busy. Also a cute old water mill (and a stuffed fox that a local kid found an eye-catcher) encased in glass as you walk in. The drinks were OK (we both had cider) however the food offerings could benefit from a little more love. The yelp page shows a link to menu but it does not work :(

The Mill Wheel, just on the outskirts of Hartshorne is a popular pub with drinkers and diners…read morealike. A large well set out car park leads you to the entrance, with its magnificent working water wheel - a great window into its past life as a working water mill. The bar has an informal type setting, large comfy sofas, and an eclectic mix of different type tables. Along with the roaring open fire, it all adds to the sociable, chilled out and relaxed feel of the Mill Wheel. A variety of bar snacks and a good range of hot of cold drinks, make it an ideal place to have lunch. The upstairs restaurant area has more formal classical air to it. Bathed with light during the day, it has a very contemporary feel. The menu is a la carte and has a great variety of different dishes, which are refreshed with daily and weekly specials. Although there is a deal on two courses from a restricted menu, the restaurant is still fairly pricey. The food is of a high quality though, the vegetarian Lasagne with a Swiss Chard base and the lamb tagine are particular favourites. Some of the dishes can be a bit style over substance though, but on the whole the food is full of flavour and very individual. A great place to go for a special occasion.

We what I can only say is the best Steak and Ale pie I have ever had called The White Shield. It is served with vegetables and their chunky chips along with ale gravy the whole meal was delicious. Make sure you have a spoon to get the last of the gravy. Along with a well cooked meal the staff delightfully welcoming and friendly which give the place a great ambiance. I have no hesitation in recommending it.
