New Tardebigge, Restaurant & Bar Review

Sadly we found it expensive for average food. We went during the Governments discount scheme which brought it to a reasonable price for the food we were served. We won't go back though.

Quite pricey but food ok, if not great considering the prices

After seeing that this pub has been fully refurbished we decided to give it a try for lunch. The website, new exterior and lavish interior gives the impression that it's a gastropub serving high quality food. Sadly, the food we were served was far from it. The skin on fries with all of our meals were cold. I ordered a 'roast pork' sandwich which I thought would come steaming hot was also cold with a thick circle of cold set stuffing wedged inside. The other two sandwiches we ordered also weren't as you'd expect. We were only flying in for a quick lunch and the food took a long time to come (probably hence the cold fries) not good when you're on your lunch break with limited time. There were no satisfaction checks and nothing said to us as we left. On the plus side the purity gold ale is very nice but the other two drinks we wanted Appletise and J20 weren't stocked, only a copy brand that wasn't nice. With such a fantastic refurbishment as this is it's such a shame they haven't got the food and service right to go with it. It's a beautiful looking pub now but you can never judge a book by it's cover, all that glitters isn't gold.

Unfortunately, the staff need more training. The manager? Was very awkward with customers, and for a pricey place, odd that he was wearing jeans. Food was ok, no pepper mill to be found. Busy Sunday lunch times need to be more professionally organised. I hope this new venture suceeds, but more attention to detail......dead hanging daskets sending out the wrong message.

We came with two friends for lunch they both have strict diet requirements and nothing was too much trouble the meal was absoutley perfect we all had the butternut squash curry it was very tasty, good sized portions and for me the big thing is how hot it is served and it hit that one as well the food was lovely and hot. The atmosphere was relaxed the staff were friendly and very helpful. It is beautifully decorated and it was very very clean. We will definitely go back thank you

went for a roast dinner. 2 courses and the quality of food and price is really good!! My kids both loved it too said it was the best roast dinner they've had (other than mine of course ) will definitely return. Staff are all lovely and really helpful also quick table service.

Excellent food.
However the vegetarian and vegan options are not listed on the menu .
Merely letters alongside the normal options so very difficult to decided and staff are not 100% briefed as to what they were.
Simple extras like naan or mango chutney etc for curries were available .
Prices are marked as 7 or 4.5 ! What's that about ?
Decor for me is a bit too chintzy and the sugar pink ladies loo decor was startling to say the least.
Tone the decor down and redo the menus so the staff and customers can decifer it easily and you'll be on the ball.

Couldnt do enough to help us with my friends burthday. Only went for a few drinks. They did a birthday plate and sang too. Xmax do for work too and it was brilliant. Amazing refurb and fab staff

My family (20 people) went for Xmas lunch on Xmas day. To the overall experience was average would be over stating. all course were very small, some of the starters had the wrong sauces on them. The vegi meal were a lazy version of vegi food. It is not a place I would recommended for large family meals.

I used to drink here many years ago. I has been renovated beyond recognition.

There is a good selection of food options and a very good drinks menu.

All the staff were very friendly and attentive, especially Grace. We will return.

This is an unusual space, a vast Edwardian village hall (donated to Tardebigge by the 1st Earl of Plymouth), tastefully converted to an airy pub.

Food was good, but the servers actually make you feel as if nothing would be too much trouble.

I'd come back, and even bring people with me!

Recently refurbished by new owners. Very nice boutique decor, complimentary to the original building. Good local ales, nice food.

Looks beautiful since it has been redone. Staff are absolutely lovely and food is delicious

Great food, atmosphere and nice garden with wonderful relaxed service too.

Love this place - so cute! Food is also lovely here and reasonably priced. Lovely cocktails and always feel welcome here. Couldn t fault the place!

Nice welcome but unfortunately the meal was of a poor standard, just warm and really expensive. If you like good portions then this is not the place for you, you are likely to leave hungry or broke or both. Nice looking menu but really disappointing. Not a place that will draw you back for a second visit for sure.

I need to increase the variety of your menu quite basic for a newly opened pub.

Went for Sunday lunch with the family for a special anniversary. Wonderful food. Fantastic service.

This was my first visit since it was renovated and the place has been given a new lease of life, it is fantastic. The dining area is classy whilst being light and airy and the bar /lounge is incredibly comfy. Couple the new decor with the very friendly staff and the Tardebigge makes for a great dining experience. I fully recommend this place to anyone and I shall be going back

Gorgeous place unfortunately the food really lets it's down, tasteless, greasy and overpriced. Coffees were luke warm and when we tried to speak to the manager to give feedback he didnt seem interested at all. Wouldnt go back

Very nice decorating, atmosphere and great food, I would want the price to come down slightly to make it my regular but the prices are very good for the quality of food.

I've visited for Sunday lunch twice and both times have been faultless.
I had the 2 course set menu which is great value and the food is gorgeous.
Staff all so friendly and attentive too

visited on a busy Saturday evening , sat in the private dining area which was lovely as we were a group of 11.
it really is a beautiful restaurant , food was amazing , service quick and every need was catered for , will definitely be returning soon .

Compared to before we found the Tardebigge a lot nicer in terms of look and presentation. Unrecognizable from before and easy to access most of the tables in a wheelchair. Disabled toilets are adequate and staff are friendly. Only complaint for myself was the dessert menu was quite limited.

Good car parking, nice clean dining area. Staff were friendly and attentive. First course of Sunday lunch arrived quickly and freshly cooked. Second course the main plates were beef and lamb which was nicely cooked and fresh but the side dishes of leak greens and broccoli cheese where over cooked and seemed to have been prepared quite some time before. The selection of wine was small but seemed good quality. Would recommend.

Another lovely meal at The Tardebigge. It s huge so you have plenty of space so it feels Covid secure. Sunday lunch was delicious and I like that it s not just an identikit pub menu.

Lovely decorated pub. Food was good though chicken schnitzel very dry not enough sauce. Service slow

This pub has just had a major face lift and new owners, very good welcoming, the food was also very good, I had the pan fried prawns as a starter, and fish for main all food very good. Friendly staff.

It is a vast improvement on what was open before. There is a long wait once you order your food. The food is nice when it eventually comes. It is quite pricey though.

First visit March 2020. Nice decor and ambience. We enjoyed good food and the staff were very pleasant.

I was served a dish with hard and grey coloured chicken breast and my friends got food poisoning from the desert.

Best vegan food in the Midlands. Excellent menu, atmosphere and cocktails.

Lovely staff, good reasonably priced menu, unusual building.

Hadn't been here for a couple of years and so was very surprised at how it looks now. It's really chic and elegant now. There's a large bar in the centre with dining in one half and a bar in the other half. We had a meal and it was rather good, though a bit pricey. My wife had the sea bass and I had the beef burger. One quibble, if the burger is advertised as having 'slaw then give us more than 1 fork full see picture. Deserts were good, we had the gin and elder flower cheese cake. I found the gin a little overpowering and couldn't taste the elder flower. Also it was served on a piece of slate, alright if you like that sort of thing, though I do think there's a lot to be said for plates. My wife liked it though. Enormous range of spirits and liquors. We will be back, though probably only for special occasions as we live quite a long way away.

Great place, good food, pleasant waitress, take your temperature as you go in.

It is newly refurbished, and it looks wonderful inside! The food was good! There was a slight problem with one of the meals but they sorted it instantly, but I was very impressed overall!

Fantastic food and great service. The transformation of the place is nothing short of astonishing.

Food was OK, not as spectacular as I'd been told, but alright. Service was poor. Lots of staff but no organisation. 35 minutes late seating us to a booked table, 15 mins to get a drink, 30 mins for starters. 45 mins to order dessert, so we didn't bother, we paid up and left.

Staff were (mostly) friendly and helpful when they were with you, just a lack of organisation really badly let the place down.

It's been decorated out nicely, quite smart, bright and airy, high ceilings. Good bar selection, some Pilsners, lagers, ales, ciders on tap, plus can and bottles in the fridge, small but OK wine selection, some good spirits.

Might go back for drinks but a little nervous about dining to be fair, especially as it was a Sunday and the majority of people were having roasts so there wasn't a huge variety of dishes being prepared, from what I saw.

In the interests of balance, I brought the waiting issue to their attention and we reached an agreement with the bill.

First time in there since the new owners and refurbishment. Pleasantly surprised. Excellent quality food and reasonable prices. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later. 4 stars rather than 5 as we were in the corner and the background music was far too loud for easy conversation, especially for my 91 year old mother whose hearing is not the best.

Wonderful, sumptuous food, fantastic service. Beautiful surroundings and made me feel very special on my birthday. Will definitely be booking again.

Love this place, carvery is amazingly good. Service outstanding, lovely staff and atmosphere, cocktails and mocktails lovely, good stocked bar too.

I have only been here once and it was a Sunday so I can't talk for the normal menu. There was 5 of us and the starter was a mixed bag mostly good but I had the soup of the day was tasteless. We all enjoyed our mains, however I did have a roast potato that you could see was black before I even opened it! The sweets were on the whole good but again the lemon tart was a bit tasteless. The food took far to long to get to the table.
The staff were friendly and welcoming and the venue itself has been done very nicely indeed

Haven't been there for 25 years. Amazing makeover, excellent food and friendly staff. Will definitely re visit.

Excellent service from friendly and efficient staff, delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, clean, with beautiful decor

Had a pleasant evening here.
Private function room was warm , cosy and away from main Restaurant .
Ideal size for our purpose .
Only let down when orders were placed 10 mins later we were told they had ran out of some of the dishes.
Deserts were not quite what we expected , overpriced , poorly presented , looked like they had ran out and tried to make 1 desert stretch to 2

Excellent service. Good food. Excellent surroundings

Food was good but a little bit pricey. Waitress tried hard but under trained had to ask for a sreak knife. And a few other things of that nature.

Grand reconverted hall, tastefully decorated, very good service, very good menu, reasonable prices.
A short walk from the Worcester-Birmingham canal -- a good recompense after coming up the 30 locks or a way to get energy before tackling them if going down!

Very pleasant venue, good food and very attentive staff made for a great family occasion.

Great atmosphere, great food and great staff. What more can you say. I would highly recommend

Staff was great but food was poor quality, vegetables over cooked.

Lovely Food - would recommend to anyone wanting a friendly atmosphere and nice food/drinks

Nice pub, only stayed for a drink but the food looked nice

Large carpark, good price and atmosphere, staff well trained, and most of all the food was Great.

I'm going to be very honest and say whilst the food wasn't bad, the service was shocking. We waited a very long time to be seated, even though we booked a table for 3pm.

We then waited a long time for someone to take our order. The wait between starter and main was 30+ mins. After the main course we waited 45 for someone to even stop as they walked past our table so I could ask for the bill. We gave up waiting to order dessert, I don't have enough life span left to wait for it!

When the bill arrived, we had been overcharged however once this was pointed out to them, a correction was made very swiftly.

On the whole, the food was ok, but not fantastic, the place itself has been very nicely done out and the staff when you could find them were very polite.

Will I go back? No, probably not.

Lovely food, friendly staff, think the new decor is great.

Fantastic food and friendly staff and owners. Great Decor too!

Unfortunately starter of pigeon was virtually unedible, main course of sea bass was ok but small and pudding chocolate orange tort delicious but absolutely miniscule.
Decor is great and service fine but very disappointing food.
Hope it improves food quality and portion size.

Just had a fantastic meal tonight. The staff were very polite and helpful. The meal was really well presented and cook. Had wonderful night thank you too all the staff for working hard to make our night special.

Wow great place staff were friendly and helpful very professional food was great I hope it stays as classy as it is now

Great night out good food and drinks for a family celebration

Excellent interior, food and service. Highly recommended

Great place to celebrate your event.
Fabulous food, good selection of wines and drinks.
Very friendly staff and helpful, always there to help you decide.
Highly recommend a vist, excellent surroundings to enjoy your meal.

Great people lovely place always friendly safe and secure

Decor really nice & staff very friendly & welcoming. Waited 40 minutes for main course but I sure things will improve. Food was tasty, would definitely go again.

Decor elegant, staff friendly and helpful and the menu is to die for, you must try The Tardebigge

Food was great again! Good portions. Very Friendly service!

I had arranged to meet my friends for a catch up.we decided to have bite to eat and ordered the equivalent of six tapas to share between four of us .we waited 55 minutes before we were served. The food was cold and overcooked and basically of poor quality.All four of us said we would not be returning .
