Andy C suggest you actually go for a meal and then comment rather than hearsay

Myself and my wife have been been for a meal and it was poor, to add to that we pointed this out to the waitress who agreed and didnt do a lot about it

I think you have to keep in mind that Flaming Grill is a chain pub with a value-for-money food operation.

 

Its not intended to be a Michelin star awarded gastropub nor a specialist beer destination. Just somewhere you can go in a decent location for an affordable fill served by well trained staff washed down with an acceptable beer or wine.

 

I've not been yet but reading all the posts it sounds like it does what it does well but you shouldn't have high expectations.

 

Might as well close the thread now, that sums the place up pretty well exactly.

Just because one meal was below par doesnt mean the rest will be. I've been a few times, and each time its been absolutely fine. Quick cheap grub and a drink or two suits the bill nicely.

Hi Rich,

 

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience - would love to hear more about it if possible?

 

Please call me on 0114 2361451

 

As to everyone else who has been kind enough to comment and give me your feedback I appreciate it all wether it be good or bad.

 

We have now only been open for 6 weeks with a team of with some of whom have never worked in the hospitality business before and so far on the whole the feedback has been superb - the place I have been told by many who live close by 'has not been this busy in years' and the majority are loving the food and the price.

 

I can't please everyone but I can guarantee there is no other pub or manager in the area that will try his utmost to make your experience enjoyable and if it isn't to your liking I myself will be walking around smiling and trying to give everyone a great experience and will come speak to you to make things right.

 

And my assistant has the exact same attitude as myself and will always be walking around the restaurant and bar when I am having a day off, and will be happy to assist you.

 

Once again thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment and give feedback - the guys are trying there best and I as the manager am over the moon with the first few weeks and like every new business problems and teething problems happen but these will be ironed out in time.

 

Have a great day everyone!

 

Stefan

Hi everyone just a quick update!

 

We now have a Facebook page where you can keep up to date with all the latest deals and goings on here at the Waggon!

 

It is http://www.facebook.com/waggonmillhouses if you would like to be in the know!

 

 

I am also happy to announce our first event of Flaming Grill Waggon will be a Freddie Mercury tribute night to celebrate Fathers Day on Saturday 14th June and its £5 deposit to secure your seat which will be redeemable on the night against purchases.

 

This will be the lead singer from the famous Queen UK tribute group QEII for one night only!

Having been a regular on and off for 45 years or so, we didn't set foot in the place when it was the Pesto (or whatever). Called in on Monday night and had a really nice, tasty meal at a very reasonable price. The best meal we've had in there for a good few years, and the staff were very friendly.

 

The bottom line is that it is a member of a group that (probably) have a fairly set menu and choice of beers. What makes the Waggon stand out is that the new manager and his staff are willing to go the extra mile to provide a meal that is above average but at a reasonable price. They get our vote and we will be back.

 

That end of town now has 2 newish and great places to eat - Swanky Franks is another excellent venue if you're looking for an above average American Diner.

Had a meal here after going to the park with the kids.Fantastic food and great atmosphere.

I went with a friend for lunch a couple of weeks ago, and the food was dire. We ordered the ciabatta with cheese and garlic, which was undercooked so we sent it back, it came back with the edges burnt black. I had the burger for mains, and it was awful, I expected a home made burger with it being a Sizzle pub, but it looked and tasted like a shop bought burger, and the cheese was one scabby cheese slice, the bun was so old it crumbled. So I for one will not be going back.

Hi everyone!

 

Hope you are all well.

 

Just to let you guys know whats been happening here at the Waggon and Horses over the last few months.

 

Trade has been great as more and more people have popped in to give us a try since they realise that Pesto is no more, and the fact we now are a Pub that does good beer and ales aswell as great quality food at great value is really been a hit since we opened.

 

We have now got a seperated BAR and DINING area, this going forward into the World Cup which we will be showing all the games and have a license to serve alcohol until 1am in the morning during the England games.

 

After that the big one which I would like to announce is that from the new season we will be having Sky Sports on our 3 50inch LED TV's, showing all the sport from boxing, football to golf and cricket, anything worth showing we will have on.

 

We have our first Waggon 'Tribute Night' so on the 14th June at 8pm Millhouses will be rocked by one of the UK's leading Freddie Mercury tribute acts until 10.30pm in our dining area followed by at 11pm the England vs Italy game down in the bar area - spaces are limited so book quickly if you would like a seat for either event.

 

The cost for the Tribute is ZERO! Just deposit £3 to secure your seat and this is then reedemable on the night against drink and food whichever you rather.

 

 

Hope you like how things are going here at the Waggon and hope to see you all soon!

 

All suggestions are welcomed.

 

Many Thanks,

Stefan
