The Man On The Moon, Kings Norton

The Man On The Moon pub had been recommended to me and my family by one of our neighbours. After hearing that the pub had recently been took over and done out, we decided to give it a try.

We sat down and ordered our meal. Soon enough our meals arrived and all of us were utterly disgusted by what was put in front of us.

The peas were tinned. The mash potato was instant. The steak was fatty and they had bought me a chicken wrap instead of the chicken baguette I had asked for.

However, that was not the worst of it. I opened up my chicken wrap to find two small pieces of cold, greasy chicken. After cutting it in half the chicken appeared transparent and therefore I believed it to be undercooked.

I complained to the waiter (who was also the bar tender) and he went off into the kitchen to consult with the 'chef'. Before too long he came back out and told me the chicken was definitely cooked because they BUY THE FOOD IN ALREADY COOKED. All they do is warm it up.

I was disgusted and appalled. The person running the kitchen was obviously not a chef. Having paid for the meal before we got served we had no leg to stand on when it came to refusing to pay.

If you are looking for a decent pub which serves a good meal and has atmosphere then the Man On The Moon must be avoided at all costs.
