Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited for some lunch on a Saturday approx 1pm. Pub wasn’t particularly busy and got a seat ok. Ordered some basic side plates and waited for 30 mins without them coming. I asked the young girl who served me and she vacantly told me...she didn’t know and would ask. 5 mins later, two of the three plates arrived - one was wrong. We told the same girl and she asked what we’d ordered. Then transpired the wrong plate was for another table. No problem - mistakes happen. Then she disappears and brings back a tiny plate containing 4 small haloumi fries (no chilli jam as advertised). Fine for a three year old, but not suitable for adults. I asked her where the nachos were that we’d ordered. She replies with ‘we’ve run out’. I asked why that wasn’t communicated when we ordered. Her response was ‘this is so stressful’. She asks me to come to the bar and walks off. I go to the bar and no staff are there…..for 5 mins. Many customers waiting at this point. In the end I put the measly plate of child fries back on the bar and wait for another staff member to ask for a refund, which she did eventually. This whole episode was down to a lack of training/willingness for one staff member to do their job. We won’t be going back there again.More

Called in for a drink while visiting the jewellery quarter with my wife. A lovely pub with friendly staff. Will call again next time we are in the area.

A nice pub on the centre of the Jewllery Quarter with the classic pub style decoration inside. Friendly staff and a clean ambient. The food is great and the price is ok for the size of the plate. There are burgers and sandwichs available and...other smaller dishes like chips and salads. I miss the old Fish and Chips on the menu tough. The drink selection is great with things for all tastes. It's a great place to go out at night in the area.More

We had the nicest time. Popped in fir a drink with our children whilst on a city break in the jewellery Quarter. We had the kindest lady serving us, kids got Halloween masks and husband given a beaver town t-shirt. Great advice given for our...trip. It's an absolutely stunning pub outside and particularly inside, beautiful stainglass windows, tiled walls and high ceilings. We would love to go againMore

Soooo Im a happy member of the team but also an even happier customer. I have worked here for coming up 9 years and to say it has come leaps and bounds since under new management by Kate is an understatement. Heineken has gave us...the tools to grow this old boozer back into the beauty she really is! The menu caters for all if I fancy playing the quiz with my friends, taking my daughter for dinner or to get slaughtered on margaritas. You May say I’m biased but far from it my friends I say it how I see it! Having a bad day go and see Tim! Need a comforting go and see Kate! Need to get coaxed into buying tequila at any point of the day come and see heather !More

Ordered food most of the stuff was already gone, ordered fish, wrong item came, told manager, was informed no more fish, it was only 1.30, manager very rude didn't want to help. My experience of this bar was very disappointing and won't go there again.

My lunch at the Rose Villa Tavern on Friday 4th August was top notch with fantastic service. Following an incident at the door the previous week the manager invited my sister and I for lunch. The food was delicious and cooked by the manager, herself....We had the mango coated prawns and the squid for starters. Both piping hot and beautifully cooked. Very tasty. We followed with a steak with fries and a burger with onion rings and fries. My steak was lovely and came medium rare as requested. My sister enjoyed her burger and had a Belgium waffle with ice cream and strawberries for desert. We had a lovely time as the staff treated us so well. The manager even gave me a lovely bunch of flowers. I would like to thank Kate, the manager, for her superb hospitality and we will definitely be returning for more food. The prices are very reasonable too.More

I host sip and paint events with events organiser Pop Up Painting and we regularly use the upstairs function room at Rose Villa Tavern, which has been and continues to be a pleasure and one of our favourite host venues! The staff are friendly, accomodating...and supportive of the events we run and our event guests always love the vibe there! I definitely recommend visiting this venue as a guest just for a drink/food and as a business!More
