The Longwood - Tamworth

I 've just got back from a lovely afternoon here with my mom and sister and I cannot say anything but good things about it. Inside it is really warm and inviting. There are so many different seating areas having not been here before we didn 't know where was best to sit, so we took a spot in the conservatory area, where it was bright and cosy. The menu is huge and there are loads of different offers on, Curry Nights, Fajita Fridays and the Sunday Best. My eye was caught by the 'Golden Greats '...a 2 course meal for only £4.45 or 3 courses for an extra pound (and only 50p to add a tea or coffee). You choose between breaded mushrooms or soup to start and then choose one of several lighter bite options as your main. I went with the mushrooms and the chilli con carne (with garlic bread). Both were delicious! The chilli was just the right size for lunch, a lighter bite indeed it was. The lads behind the bar were really friendly and checked all was ok with us several times. Everything was well above pub standard. They offer a great covered smoking area out the back, a TV for the news/footy watcher, and a spacious 'easy to park in ' car park. Plus there 's a quiz machine! All boxes ticked when can I go back?

Can't quite make my mind up with this place Iv had various degrees of issues on each visit.....chewing gum under table...dirty tables...cold food...**** awful fish finger sandwich...but staff are good but it gets rammed full weekends. Lots of children so although its a big pub in day or weekend early evening its very family oriented... So quiet drink not possible.

What used to be a good place to get a pub meal has lately been on the downward slope. It looks like it might have recently changed management. The food is a reasonable price, but the portions seem to be getting smaller and smaller for the price. One of our party had a very small portion and her potatoes were horrible, the staff didn't want to know. Also, the drinks are very expensive, soft and alcoholic.

Very nice place. Good selection of food available.
