Not Too Much to Roar about at the Red Lion, Alvechurch

We arrived just as the lunchtime rush was ending. We’d been before so had an idea of what to expect but we were armed with a voucher. The rush seemed to be ending, and we were placed in a corner where we felt a little isolated. It was a shame that the bar was experiencing a gas shortage. Rather than ordering a true pub beer on draught, we had to choose from a drinks menu but not all the drinks were priced. Spending over £5 on a bottle of cider seems a little extreme, even though the fresh fruit and ice in the glass were a nice touch. The meals were very well presented. I felt that the server needed a little more spark or oomph, she seemed to be functional but was unwilling to enter into a conversation. When it came to dessert, speed of service seemed to be a problem despite the few people that were around, and we had to chase it.
