- Matt CGreat Yarmouth, United Kingdom94 contributionsGreat family/dog friendly pub/restaurant with rooms.Was attending the area for Banger Racing at Hednesford Hills Stadium and booked a 2 night stay in an en-suite double room. I was greeted by Manager Chris, who quickly checked me in and showed me to my room. The room was clean and tidy, large with a very comfortable bed. The en-suite was clean, with a good shower and complimentary toiletries. Free car parking in the pub car park and good Wi-Fi included. They do not serve breakfast, but there are other eateries within a couple of minutes walk. Highly recommended and I will definitely be staying again. I had dinner in the restaurant on the Saturday night (Southern fried chicken strips to start, followed by Mixed Grill). They had run out of a couple of items on the mixed grill, but offered me either a different meal or to substitute the out of stock items for something else which I did. The meal was freshly prepared, was of great quality and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended and I will definitely eat here again. I had drinks in the pub on both evenings. They have a huge selection to choose from and very reasonably priced. The back room has pool tables and dart boards and there are tv screens, showing various sports. The pub is family friendly and pet friendly. The staff are all very nice, helpful and friendly. Manager Chris, was very helpful and friendly as was barman James, who both must be singled out for praise. The Hen House is definitely worth visiting and highly recommended.Visited January 2023Written January 16, 2023
- Debby RStaffordshire, United Kingdom36 contributionsSUNDAY LUNCHThis is our local, we frequent it often... 2 or 3 times a week. Today we decided to try the Sunday roast as it always smells so good. OMG it was so delicious, hubby had beef plus extra pigs in blankets, I had nut roast. The veg was perfect, roasties crispy, mash spot on, in fact the beef was good too, no gristle. It was 100%. Job well done Ryan and Al. Thanks for the drinks and service too Cheryl. We're blessed to have you all just over the road xxVisited August 2021Traveled as a coupleWritten August 15, 2021
- Cheyne U2 contributionsSTAY HEREWhen we initially arrived there was a scuffle out side. Turns out the locals were ejecting someone who was being untoward towards children. Which shows morals and character. The room was of a very decent size, we had 2 dogs, and I can confirm I was able to swing them both very spaciously. The room had all the amenities you needed although the shower is slightly bipolar. The staff in the bar down stairs were more than accommodating and polite. There was music until around midnight and although I had work the next morning, due to the atmosphere I also stayed up until midnight to enjoy the music. Over all we had no complaints. Lovely staff, lovely room, lovely locals and free entertainment. I'd 100% stay here again.Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 20, 2023
- Clare wardCannock, United Kingdom1 contributionFantasticI drink here quite often as it's round the corner from my house but never eaten here before. I went today with my daughter, mom, sister and her dog. The food was amazing, so tasty, super hot and value for money, really big portions and the chips are to die for. We all said we will definitely eat here again. Staff really friendly, got my sisters dog a bowl of water. FabVisited April 2022Traveled with familyWritten April 11, 2022
- Ellie1 contributionAwful managementThis used to be such a lovely pub. But now since it’s been taken over by Mike it’s absolutely awful. He enjoys getting involved in peoples business and enjoys creating drama. A few of the staff are rude and will do anything for a bit of attention. Would not recommend this pub.Visited June 2022Traveled with familyWritten June 20, 2022
- Jac8351Lichfield, United Kingdom506 contributionsGreat Food but Service was a bit lackingWe attended for Sunday Diner having booked a table for 12 noon. We were on time and told to sit wherever we liked there was not a set reserved table., we were given menu's but not informed of the options for Sunday Lunch and had to chase up the staff. Unfortunately we did not get our food for at least 30 minutes after ordering. The food itself was very nice and hot, a full Sunday Diner with mash and roast potatoes and a good size. We managed this and desserts each. We have eaten here before and were pleased to see it was the same Chef as we knew the food would be good, however, the service needs a bit of improvement.Visited October 2022Written October 9, 2022

I ate at this place some years ago and had a great meal in a lovely atmosphere with friends so visited here on a Friday late afternoon intending to have a drink and a bite to eat... just one place available on the car park at the rear, it's not massive so would fill up quickly. We walked in the main door and the first thing that struck me was the smell of sweat... the place was quite full but not a single person was eating, there was no smell of food or cooking at all. Decided to hit the bar and have a pint and consider things... we were spotted immediately and I had a pint of Doom Bar and we went and sat at one of only two available tables... decided not to eat and go elsewhere, last time we were there it was full of folks eating and drinking just like other O'Rourkes pubs but now it looks a little run down and full of drinkers only it appears to have sunk to the bottom, doesn't even seem to be classed as an eatery here on TripAdvisor now! For info the Doom Bar was very nice.
