I have wanted to go here for a long time as the reputation is good, so when I had a bad meal I made a point of going back before I reviewed this place as I wanted it to be good. But it wasn’t so I need to add this honest review.
First time. Had the prawn cocktail which was very lacklustre, as you can see from the pic, tiny tasteless watery prawns on some lettuce with a dollop of Marie Rose sauce which I have to assume was from a jar. This dish came with no bread so had to ask for some which I was then charged extra.
Main course was a streak medium rare which was full of gristle or it was fat

Possibly the best fillet steak with black peppercorn sauce we've ever had.
Great pub, great staff, lovely warm comfortable atmosphere.
The chef is a genius. this is what I look for when we eat out. The starter, the main and dessert, 1st class.
The detail of the elements on all 3 dishes was perfect!
We had such a nice evening, can only recommend this place at the best level.

Caution- the saracens head will charge you £20 per head if you forget about your booking… and they don’t offer any type of text/email reminder.
During lockdown I bought vouchers for a number of local places to support their businesses and to have something to look forward to. I booked a table for a random Tuesday night a month in advance, but without a reminder, having had a particularly busy time at work and with my wife in isolation, I completely forgot about the booking. I appreciate it is poor form and it is honestly the first time I have ever done that anywhere, but I feel it is completely

Came here for lunch with friends and loved it as always. We come from Lichfield and it's well worth the journey. Friendly, professional staff, great ambience and delicious food. I had the beef burguignon and then strawberry pavlova. Fabulous. Definitely recommend to anyone for lunch or evening meal.
