Yummy! I always enjoy eating a traditional English meal here…read more Harper's offers Pie's or a Sunday roast with a choice of potatoes and fresh vegetables. The food quality is good and the portions are pretty large. They don't have their own seating area as it is part of Merry Hill's Eat Central which has plenty of spaces. The staff is not always the quickest but very friendly. I recommend to try the Cottage Pie!

We visited the restaurant as part of a wedding and a stay recently…read more The prestarter was pea soup (the type you get in an espresso cup) it tasted fresh and was served with freshley baked bread throughout the meal. The starter was tomato and advocado salad which again was used with all fresh ingredients and we even saw where they had been picked! The fish course was turbot which again was extremley flakey and just well amazing, and the dressing was very light and tasty. The main course consisted of beef which was the most tender piece of meat I have ever had and thats no over exageration! The dessert was also very nice. I would love to go again and see what else they can create! I would definatly recommend a visit, they also do lunch time bites.

Well i have just read the other reviews about the Duke being a gay pub . Frankly cannot say i have…read morenoticed or could care less, frankly the clientle are all ok by me .

Spent a great Saturday afternon here. We were a mixed group (2 poofs, a hettie and a hag)and were…read moremade really welcome by the owners/managers. For example - the big screen broke before the Grand National, management apologised and quickly got the race up on their laptop and we all gathered round to watch. Then they let us bring chips in from next door (as we were fairly drunk by then). All in all a non pretentious boozer that defines itself as a gay venue but offers all the warmest of welcomes. I urge anyone who is passing through Stourbridge and inclined to support a gay venture to get down there. Oh - it's a Banks's pub and the bitter was brilliant. Nice to see you keep your pipes clean ladies!

As with most middle class pubs nowadays The Whittington offers food. That being said, it has a…read moreproper restaurant section with ample seating within this 17th century building. The menu is your standard pub favourites and nothing different from many local bistro pubs. But all in all the food was well seasoned, well prepared and decent prices. The service was jolly and quite good. I can't comment on the pub section as I have yet to try it, but it looked like your usual country pub. I would recommend it for a nice family pub meal and have no qualms with the venue. I gave it overall 3 stars as it didn't blow me away and was very similar to all bistro pubs all over the the UK.

Had been here before refurb and found it a good traditional pub. Not so now…read more It's cold in the bar and side rooms. The fact that many people are sitting in coats didn't inspire staff to light the fires. Staff chatting behind the bar to each other instead of serving. No sandwiches on because delivery's late so everything's frozen! Didn't like bar staff putting lemon in drinks with his fingers. It just wasn't very good.
