Bramblings - Redditch

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to eat here again!

I visited this restaurant with my family for Sunday dinner. My husband had never been here before, but I had dined at several locations, so I was a bit anxious about my choices for appetizers and desserts. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that the appetizer soup was quite tasty, though it felt more like a salad selection that you might find at a pub like the Harvester. There was no fruit salad offered for dessert, which is something I always look forward to, especially after enjoying the delicious main course. The dessert options were mediocre, and while a bowl of fruit is a perfect finish for those who don’t enjoy heavy desserts, the trifle was a bit of a mess after some servings. The cheese and cookies looked appealing, though. This evening was meant to be a special celebration for a 40th wedding anniversary, but unfortunately, the meal didn't live up to that occasion. I really wish they would bring back the old appetizers and desserts!

Unfortunately, the quality of the food has dramatically declined this year. We’ve gone from being impressed by a variety of well-presented dishes made with quality ingredients to receiving a less-than-desirable selection of food that appears to come from pre-packaged or frozen sources. While the waiting staff remains unchanged, continuing to be friendly, courteous, and helpful, it’s disappointing that due to the poor quality of the food, we will not be booking again. I don’t blame the kitchen staff; there’s only so much they can do with cheap ingredients. I suspect that Abbey Park may lose some of their head chefs and kitchen staff this year. True chefs would not want to be associated with the quality of the Sunday dinner served lately, which is simply not worth the £16.99 price tag.

Only 1 wine card for the whole restaurant. steak wasn't good. overcrowded veg with meals. some employees were fab others needed much more training.

We dined at 6:45pm with a 2 year old. At 7:45pm no food had arrived. The waitresses were mostly friendly but not attentive and missed that we had not been served. At 8pm they rushed out our daughters pasta. 15 mins later our steaks arrived- over cooked. Very disappointed.
