George in the Tree, Balsall Common

Above avergage prices for below average food. Our second visit here is quite possibly the last. Chicken Wrapped In Bacon served with vegetables, potatos and - wait for it - smothered in tinned tomatos - WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! Never again.

The George and Dragon, Coleshill

This place was highly recommended by several friends so me and the wife decided to give it a whiz. Older reviews here suggest the same. But say as you find I say and unfortunately I recon my friends and other reviewers herein just had to have visited this place during far better times.

On arrival I found that although set in nice surrounding the decor within was pretty dull and well in need of redecoration.

I ordered Gammon Eggs & Chips for me and the Lamb Shank for the wife. Nearly an hour later I had to enquire as to the whearabouts of our food and was told that the latesness was due to it being 'Mixed Grill night'. A poor excuse and especially since the place wan't even that busy.

The food did eventually arrive not too long after to be fair. But to now be honest. It was pretty poor food. You can't really get Gammon, Egg & Chips that wrong and I found it OK to be fair once again, not great but not particularly bad. But the Lamb Shank with Potato & Veg was described by my wife as 'awful'.

Like I wrote above, say as you find and I find I won't be visiting this place again in a hurry. Nor shall I recommend it.
