verona Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The food side is run by Richard Smith of Thyme Cafe, Broomhill and Catch at Crosspool, who just loves to rip people off with jazzed up poor quality produce. I'll not be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasd75 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 we went in on sunday to be told there was a 1 hour wait on food, so we went to Sam's which was actually quite good (but still quite expense when you add it up). not too keen on the new paint job in there, it's awfully grey and all the majority of the sports tat has been gotten rid of........i always liked the dank.....shame....

Deavon Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Went to Champs for lunch today and I never, ever leave chips. But I left my chips. Expensive and poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruciesBabe Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 What a shame about this place. The new look is lovely, BUT.... We went in on Friday afternoon at about 4.00pm, it was empty but still we had to wait to get served at the bar because the 4 staff that were behind the bar were too busy talking to each other to notice their customers. We ate in there - never again. We thought we'd share some nachos - bearing in mind that in most resturants and in all my experience, nachos are a sharing dish - anyway, the nachos came out, they were tasty but server in a dish the size of a saucer and as someone else mentioned, we had chips - yuk! frozen, manky, greasy, soggy, yuk! As we were eating, a family came in and wanted to eat in the resturant part, they were told it wasn't open. They weren't told that they could eat from the bar menu - exactly the same menu as the restuarant one!!!! anywhere else in the pub. After a while of waiting they got up and left and actually ended up in uncle sams over the road. C'mon champs, I guess its OK (if not ludicous) having your manager of the day wearing a 'captain' armband , but c'mon lets concentrate on serving your customers! Won't be going back and would strongly advise anyone who wants good service and good food to steer well clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechalk Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I actually feel like going into Champs, to meet the ACTUAL person whos name is against that venue (not just the day manager), and shaking them until their eyes pop out. Are they actually blind as to what a terrible place it has turned into for food and service? I know i could do better, and ive not been long in the trade. Its just irritating, as im sure they could be onto a winner with the right person behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave650 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Think I'll be avoiding them in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Me and the girls want to go out for a meal tonight and its looking like we are heading here. What is the food like now its under new management, I've heard some horror stories but it appears they have now also hired some new Chefs, so I may be willing to give it another try, (as the food used to be very good). Does anyone have any reviews of the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
