The Saracens Head

Met family for lunch as very close to the M6. Really warm welcome, great service and excellent fresh food. Food came out promptly and piping hot. We had prawn cocktail and asparagus/poached egg starters which were fantastic and so fresh. Tried the pie of the day and the gammon as mains; could not fault either. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I visited for breakfast this morning (21st May 2025) as a treat for her birthday. The breakfast is good value with unlimited tea and coffee. Although the fried egg was very crispy and overdone for my liking the full breakfast was very nice and a very full plate. The views across the fields are also stunning and really make this a great setting for any meal. However we came away disappointed with the general service that let down the food and the beautiful location. The gentleman's first interaction was simply "whats your surname", then simply turned around and took us to our seat. Other than ordering our food that was the limit of any conversation we had. Not once did anyone come and ask if our food was okay, or whether we would like more tea and coffee (given it was unlimited). It wasn't busy either, it was very quiet. Finally on paying the bill, there was no hint of thanks for your custom or we look forward to seeing you again, have a nice day. Nothing. Thankfully the 8% service charge that it says will be added as discretionary to the bill was not added, as I'd have certainly asked for that to be removed given there was very little in the way of "service". Thumbs up though to the chefs though, couldn't fault the food even with the very crispy egg.

This would have been an extra couple of stars until now, this morning l went down for 7.30ambreakfast. No direct access to the dining room from the accommodation so its short walk outside. Its 7.25am and l though maybe a coffee while l wait for service.. but no, l was ordered to wait outside the building or they could lose their licence! It is fortunate the room and the breakfast was adequate. Though the small step out the bedroom door was a constant and dangerous trip hazard.

We had a great stay and all the staff were welcoming and friendly. Food was also great.

Business Trip Lovely location, bed was very comfortable, food was delicious :-) Service was sometimes slow but would definitely return on our next trip.
