The Badminton Arms - Coalpit Heath

This pub can be a bit hit or miss. I've only ever had the roast dinners here, and they used to be much better before it was closed and reopened as the Badminton Carvery. My recent roast was underwhelming—pre-prepared food with soggy vegetables, though there was plenty of meat. I usually visit more for drinks in the bar, which has a pleasant country vibe, making it a nice spot to meet friends for a glass of wine. There's also a TV that plays sports, along with a dartboard and standard fruit machines. It's never overly busy, but the bar is well-stocked with average prices, which is why I give it an average rating.

This restaurant has recently been renovated and it looks fantastic. The lady who served us was very friendly and cheerful. I must say, it's one of my favorite carveries around. We went on a Monday night, so the price was £6.95; on Sundays and bank holidays, it's £8.95. You can choose two meats, and it also comes with a sausage, stuffing, and a Yorkshire pudding, along with all the traditional vegetables like potatoes, cabbage, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, and carrots. The carvery was really delicious! On a winter evening, the cozy ambiance made us feel very welcome as we settled into one of the booths. While they do offer other pub classics, their specialty is the carvery, which is now called The Badminton Carvery. It's definitely worth a visit! The food and the atmosphere are both amazing!

This is a bustling and well-managed pub and restaurant that is rarely empty any day of the week. The food is excellent and beautifully presented. While it's not the cheapest option available, it's also not overly pricey, making it one of the better dining establishments in the area. The pub is consistently clean and tidy, with an adequate number of staff to ensure good service most of the time.

This restaurant really hit the spot! Everything was boiled to perfection, and the gravy was rich and flavorful. I've never seen such generous portions of meat at any other place I've visited. The friendly staff, talented chef, and excellent value for money made for a fantastic experience. My only regret is that I don't live closer!

I've often driven past this place and thought how beautiful it looked. Finally, I decided to give it a try, and I was truly impressed. I have to say that the carvery was one of the best I've ever had—it's not much different from a home-cooked meal! I would highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!
