Food was very nice, well cooked and plenty of it.Service was ok but a little disorganised. Probably needed more staff, especially as it was full !Overall, I would go again ?

I’ve eaten here before over many years and was very surprised to find how quiet it was here on the night. Having been travelling to the other side of the world and back for the last few months I was looking forward to real British carvery, with maybe a beer, so when visiting life long friends in Bromsgrove we decided to splash out on a 6:30 pm trip for dinner. It’s a pub of two half’s, with the old roadside part of restaurant / bar and a larger glass filled seating extension over looking the canal, so there’s plenty of room if it gets busy, but we always phone for a booking first to ensure that the carvery is actually on. Thing is now days, since recent events in the U.K. demand has somewhat dropped so we’ve lost a lot of good eateries especially those that are away from main roads in the countryside and as I said before there were only a few tables in use with maybe 30 people seated in the older area. We were greeted by the young lady at the bar and pointed to our table for 4. She then came over to take our drinks order but as we weren’t ordering anything from the food menu just carvery’s she and her colleague were soon back with our drinks and carvery tickets. Now my mate had a pint of draft Doom Bar, which I know can be a little challenging to present for the smaller establishment as transporting and tapping times can vary flavour, but he was very happy with his. The ladies had one half of a Guinness, and a half of shandy beer, both of which were fully drained over the course of the meal , a very good sign indeed, as the ladies are never shy of comment on food or drink. For myself I tried a pint of TimothyTaylor, which is a very big treat for me, as my love of beers has been strictly curtailed due to health problems, so I was extremely happy to report that the pint not only passed muster it was very tasty. Now onto the food, this may be of interest to those who’ve never visited before. The carvery is set out behind a Covid Screen, with the chef presenting your choice of meat with another staff member, filling up the plate to your orders as you go. Some may find this upsetting thinking you don’t get what you want or as much. Rubbish. Forewarned is forearmed, don’t be shy. I asked for and got three slices of beef and turkey each as I do not like pork or ham as much. As for the veg, and there was a lot of choice here, and they did not skimp on any of the servings, at all! Why the chef even presented me with a boat of extra gravy to help was down the vast amount of vegetables. So my advice is to take your time, be assertive as to your choices and amounts but be aware that at busier times it may take a little longer so send up your slower eaters first. Being with my wife, who is a professional carvery eating specialist, I can report everything was very tasty. For myself the Yorkshire puddings were slightly over done, however they still remained soft inside and with the gravy, mmmmmmmm. My favourite. The turkey was moist with loads of flavour, the beef very good. Now root veg can be a little changeable over the year but all the carrot , parsnips, swede tasted fine. The cauliflower cheese, garlic potatoes absolutely perfect, not as good as my Moms of course but still a very good second. Peas, sprouts, roast potatoes all very good, and as I missed out in a tradition Christmas dinner this year I was very happy to see the sprouts. There were more veg on offer , sweetcorn kernels , boiled potatoes, cabbage etc but I’d over indulged on my choices so the plate was full, hence the extra gravy boat. Over all what did the four of us think? Drinks good. Food very good Service very good indeed 5 stars? NO…… 4 half yes. Folks it’s a restaurant, still running after all the c**p the last few years has thrown at it, many such places have closed or fallen well below par, this place has managed to stay afloat. There appeared to be three staff on , maybe more in kitchen but all three did an excellent job though out the time we were there. The results was Four very full happy diners. So thanks again Eagle & Sun, we will return yet again.

Unfortunately not the best meal I have ever had I went for my birthday with my husband Ordered the cod. & chips mine was overdone batter was burnt girl asked if everything was ok told her she said she would tell chef but never came out a very poor meal in addition can’t see why they were sweeping floor in front of bar when customers were eating and cleaning the glass on the doors when my husband paid they said they were sorry the food was burnt and took the price of the coffee off the bill and hoped we would go back again but after looking at their carvery I don’t think so I think they could learn a lot from the The plough at far forest which is far superior Will not be going again food completely tasteless

I opted to choose from the normal menu with the battered fish and chips. The piece I had was 95% batter, which was mega greasy. It says something when the chips were the best part of the meal. The majority of the family had the carvery, which they were happy with, and I did try the beef, and that was exceptional. The service was quite slow, and the empty plates stayed on our table for a good 25 minutes. There was also a promotion of Pepsi (fizzy drinks) where the driver would get free drinks, but I had 3 pints of Pepsi and paid £3.80 for each one of them. I dont feel its upto me to tell the staff. They should be the ones asking. After all, it was them that said we didn't need a stamp??? I will say that this is my first bad experience from a dozen visits in the last few years, so maybe a bad day at the office.

Went for a carvery only to find out that’s it’s not really a carvery as you can not help yourself..there was a miserable chef behind a screen very inpatient, rude and literally threw our food onto our plates!! Shocking. The food was inedible my wife didn’t even eat hers. Pub staff/managers were not very helpful and abrupt on entering and waiting for service… From what being one of the best carvery’s in Worcestershire to the worst unfortunately..shame. Our previous time we were told their wasn’t any sauces to see a great big bowl full as we left. It’s a lovely setting especially in the summer but unfortunately we will not go back. Hate to think what their breakfasts are like..

Had a superb Christmas Day lunch. Food was great and staff were fantastic. We will definitely go back.

Nice food, long queue to pay and then join the queue to get buffet food. Good deal for seniors with smaller appetite.Parking: Muddy patch with no markings, people park anywhere
Great value carvery plenty of food and good service. Great to get a carvery at 4pm!
Giles Hall
Very good Sunday roast carvery. Good food, loads of choice and very good serving size.

Lovely Carvery menu. Really big portions!The Eagle and Sun staff were fabulous- they fitted a party of 9 in at really short notice. Made us feel really welcome.
Mike HAMPTON
Lovely pub, excellent food. The only reason I gave 4 stars on the atmosphere is because we went in at the start of the lunchtime service, so there was hardly anyone in there. W will definitely be back.Wheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair entrance is on the side of the pub.

When the restaurant up the road (Vernon Arms) denied all knowledge of our booking for 9 people, made more than a month earlier, the Eagle and Sun pulled out all the stops to fit our party in on Saturday night, welcoming us with crackers and friendly service. Our food was plentiful and delicious, the service excellent and even when we accidentally left a cracker too close to a candle and set it on fire there was no drama, just jokes. The bill was a pleasant surprise - excellent value - and what could have been a disastrous evening turned into a very pleasurable one. They even provided foul to take lectovers home for our dogs. Well done all at The Eagle and Son. We’ll be back!
