Horse And Jockey - Wolverhampton

I attended a work Christmas party at this restaurant and was warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. The food was served hot and with perfect timing between courses. The portions were generous and delicious, ensuring that no one left hungry. The staff were attentive and couldn't do enough for us. Despite it being a Christmas event, the quality of the food was top-notch. Thank you to all the hardworking staff. I look forward to visiting again. It was quiz night and although we put in effort, we ended up coming second to last. We'll have to try harder next time.

I am always surprised when we visit a restaurant with great reviews only to have a bad experience, as has happened many times before. We started going to independent pubs after disappointing experiences with "everything deep fried" at chain pubs like Hungry Horse and Marstons. Our first visit to this restaurant was a few months ago and we loved the specials menu. However, on our second visit last night, the specials didn't sound appealing so we ordered from the main menu, with some extra starters just in case. Unfortunately, everything we ordered was deep fried and the oil needed changing. The food was either dry inside or too greasy, with the salads not being very fresh and mostly wilted. We couldn't finish the greasy chips, crusts, and salad leaves. The desserts were decent but didn't make up for the overall disappointing experience. The atmosphere was not great either, with a neighbouring table giving us strange looks. The service was mediocre, as the waitress didn't even have a non-alcoholic drinks menu and couldn't recommend suitable drinks for kids. We received the dessert menu after our mains, which was odd. Overall, our experience felt similar to a chain pub and we ended up spending twice as much. It was disappointing.

My second visit today, once again a great lunch, friendly helpful staff, lovely cosy room, fantastic well cooked and tasty food and all reasonably priced. The Horse and Jockey goes into my goto places to eat that are my first choice when I'm in an area.

Lovely food at very reasonable prices. The staff were amazing so friendly and attentive without being over the top. Not surprised you have to book

Such friendly warm service and amotosphere. Food is consistently of high quality with excellent choice and excellent value for money. We would very highly recommend a visit as weekly visitors ourselves. However it is advisable to book in advance..
