The Black Lake Inn, Meir Heath

Always been nice here for just a drink, comfortable sofas etc but I have eaten here a few times recently after hearing good reports.
Food is good quality and reasonably priced with great thick, crispy real chips. Service is good as the pub is well staffed friendly too.
On each of three occasions everyone in our group (5 or 7 people) said the food was excellent.
My one gripe, really petty I know, is in a pub where they take care in what they serve and that goes to the trouble of making real chips, why do they serve those disgusting frozen onion rings that are made from mushed onion. It surely can't be too much trouble to cut and batter a few fresh onion rings to go with a steak. If it is just leave them off.

Rated 8/10 (1 off for the onion rings)
