Visited this evening, 4 adults and 1 baby.We're told there was no Sea Bass and was offered Salmon as replacement, the Salmon was over baked and very hard, dry and inedible. When we informed the waitress, we were suddenly told Sea Bass is back on the menu?! But it was too late in the meal to warrant the wait for a new meal to be cooked. Two roast dinners were lacking temperature and the yorkies were over baked. The veg tart was very mushy. However the steak meal was perfect and the side portion of mash for the baby was great too. Staff interacted really well with the baby but otherwise lacking in character at the table.Not a great experience sadly. Makes us very hesitant to return. If I would recommend anything it would be the steak.

Service was great, understand that they were busy due to certain offers that were available at the time. However there was a clear lack of staff and felt that the food was rushed, both mine and my partners meals had certain food items missing. Which by the time we seen a waiter we were 1/2 way through our meal. We did notify them about the missing items and literally didn’t hear anything else. Glad we didn’t pay full price to be honest, paid the bill and went for dessert at another restaurant

Good food and friendly staff in a civilised environment with no intrusive background music to stifle conversation. Sue attentive and efficient as always and service prompt.

Excellent food, but what made the day special was the friendly and interactive staff!

Booked a table but arrived very early and the staff was very accommodating finding us a table even though it was really busy. Food was delicious and we were really looked after well by Rich. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Visited on a very busy Friday evening. We had prebooked. About a 50 minute wait from placing order to getting served. Food is reasonably priced and currently an offer 30% off mains. Service was unfortunately a little slow and we gave up on desert order having seemed to wait an age. We did see another couple leave due to the wait in service. I'm sure it was a blip and management will sort.
The staff were excellent and went out of their way to accommodate our daughter. Phoebe was great at engaging with her and making her part of the experience. There was a great choice of food for both adults and children and the food was lovely. We will definitely visit again.Kid-friendliness: Lovely engagement with our daughter and the staff were very accommodating with her food choices

Very disappointing. We had chosen Inkwell over another restaurant in Lichfield as we wanted an early meal. Table booked for 6.30pm. Drinks and starters arrived in good time. The main courses arrived after 8pm!! Over an hr after we had finished starters.We asked if our main courses were ready and were told they were being plated up. That was evidently not true as 20 minutes later we were given the same message!When the food finally arrived it was less than appetising. Burnt burgers, cold peas, dried bacon around chicken and rock hard pastry on the pie.We were told our order had got lost on the screen in the kitchen!They did remove the main courses off our bill but we were minutes from walking out. The evening was ruined as far as a 'meal out' was concerned.These things can happen, but it was obvious with the current 'offer' there was insufficient staff employed and if they'd only been honest as to the meals being plated up, you could to a degree accept a one-off.We won't be hurrying back after last night's experience.
