The Littleton - Walsall

The steak was not hot enough and the pork had very little sauce making it very dry. At no time were we asked if the food was ok We originally went as on our last visit we were told the menu was changing but when there found it had not changed . On our last visit the food was very good.

Fabulous venue to hold events Sterling Networks meet in Walsall on a Wednesday and the members love this venue..

Visited for the 1st time with my husband and was so looking forward to it as had heard such good things and all our friends go regularly. It was a very mixed visit for us and would have liked to leave a good review but there was only average or very good and unfortunately this wasn 't very good on this occasion. I am gluten free and thought been as this is a restaurant type environment i would have been able to have most things. When I have been to restaurants they have been able to provide as standard GF bread, normally homemade and chips cooked separately so when I placed my order for burger and chips I was shocked I could not be catered for. I was told they do not supply GF bread, the actual burger is not gluten free (although this is normally naturally gluten free) and I couldn 't have the chips. There were other options but I was disappointed that something so simple was not available. I had chicken wings for starter which were lovely and my husband had soup which he thoroughly enjoyed. My main was ok, had the pork belly but it was not as nice as I had imagined but our real problem was my husbands main. He had steak and all the way through was stringy fat so he ended up wrapping most of it up in a napkin for our dog. I did ask him several times to ask to swap it but because it was students cooking he didn 't want to do this. I did explain that him sending the steak back because of the fact it was a bad piece of meat would not reflect on the students as this was not their fault but he was adamant we did not complain so he went without a main. I did not have a pudding but my husband had some apple thing and absolutely loved it, it was huge and could have fed 2 so he was not complaining. All in all a very mixed visit and as much as I wanted to love it, I didn 't. As a treat once in a while we go to a nice restaurant as it is difficult to eat out at a lot of pubs being gluten free so restaurants are normally a great option for me so I think I was expecting the same so was disappointed it did not offer the same experience. Would like to point out that all the staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Been for afternoon tea today to celebrate my husband's. Another fantastic experience at The Littleton! And great staff, as usual !

Relatively pricey, but you really do get what you pay for. Despite the very high rating, the place was plenty roomy and quiet when we arrived. Food was delicious, and service was on point.
