The Old Crown

Location: Proximity to Birmingham New Street train station, Bullring shopping centre, and XOYO for events.

Was a fantastic stay and an absolute steal for the price.

Went for a Sunday roast, 3 people had mixed, me - the beef roast. Beef was so red I couldn’t touch it! So my other half then ate all of my meat too, like he does and said don’t waste it. Worse decision he has ever done. The others had the beef and pork. After no horseradish (we was first in for roast, bad effort) then all staff wearing t-shirts promoting 0% Guinness - tried ordering, again didn’t have any. After 10 hours of eating it the belly cramps started. And oh my, did my other half know he was in trouble. He was poorly for 6 days, lost a weeks wages and it was awful. The other two who had the mixed roast was in same situation. It was 100% the roast as they all had the same and we got the text in the night saying ‘Are you both feeling ok?’ We knew it was that! I emailed the old crown - no reply. So my sister in law called and said they would investigate. We got a refund and have now been invited back, there is not a chance I would step back in your pub and eat again after how poorly my husband was. The fact in the email it states ‘ you can’t be 100% certain’ is a joke. I wish I had taken a sample to drs and proved it was. As funny the 3 who all ate the same, was mega poorly. Avoid at all costs, unless you can afford to lose weight and want to be poorly.
