We chanced upon The Blue Boar when we were staying near Alcester and didn't really want to pay a lot for a meal, so we thought we would try some "pub grub" somewhere off the beaten track. We were sufficiently impressed with the quality of the food and the quantity that we returned last night when we were in the... More

Mouth watering and a visual experience three course Sunday Roast , to challenge any glossy magazine recipe This charming old style country restaurant is simply lovely a great place to relax with friends We found the customer service very refreshing, with the staff going the extra mile to make our dinning experience special, even though the restaurant was really busy...

Did a bit of research to find this place and was not disappointed. I went here with my wife, son and mother and there was something for everyone. Barman (also assumed to be owner?) was a bit of a card, couldn't quite place his accent (French or Italian?). A good pint of Hobgoblin kept me happy. Pan fried chicken and... More

I was looking forward to this - a traditional Sunday lunch. The "grumpy old man" behind the bar as mentioned earlier was a little terse but I think he's just a bit eccentric! Taken to our table - eventually. We ordered 4 Sunday dinners but they got the meats wrong having taken an hour to cook it. There seemed to... More

I was recommended the blue boar by a close friend however I was sadly left slightly disappointed, The food was ok however it had taken a long time to be cooked and sadly when it arrived some of the dish was cold. The interior of the building was dated and needed a lick of paint and a general freshen up... More

Myself and my fiance were staying at the nearby Billesley Manor hotel recently, this restaurant is around at 30 minute walk away, and was recommended to us. We visited twice, as the food is really good quality, and better than pub grub (therefore slightly more expensive but worth it). It offers a really good selection of food from a pub... More

The food was great I had the mixed grill which was perfectly cooked (ie the steak wasn't over cooked as most pubs seem to do these days), my girlfriend had the duck whcih was also great. Also had the creme brulee which has to be the best I've ever tasted. The staff were very friendly and there was a variety... More
