The Venture

Pleasantly surprised finding this gem, although quite this Saturday afternoon, the atmosphere was jolly, great choice of food at reasonable prices, I had a sharing platter and it was delicious, the hamburgers look delicious. Great place for watching sport, having a couple drinks and playing some pool. A great all rounder!

Deserves more than just 5*. We went yesterday for my son's 13th birthday. When we arrived I wasn't comfortable with the table we were allocated We spoke to a member of staff and asked if we could go to a quieter area without hesitation the lady was quick to assist me. Once settled at our new table we ordered our meals the server was excellent and patient with me. Food came out at a reasonable time. There was a minor mix up and I did have to return mine I was just expecting one piece of meat to be replaced but instead my whole meal got replaced. Such friendly staff I'm so glad I returned after an 8 year gap. Venture you have such amazing staff! The food was amazing my children ate everything and they normally don't. Cannot wait to return again. Keep grilling you are all fantastic.

Eat outside review! So booked a table for the family to go and eat outside on the fairly large decking. Ordered through the app for food and drinks. Very quick with the drinks and the food was very reasonable wait time. Service from staff was great. Food was excellent, some dishes have the ceramic type plates that keep the food hot which was great seeing as it was a tad chilly outside. Plenty of choice available and all food was fresh and cooked well as you'd expect. Pictures include my meal which was the mixed grill all items cooked very well as in good, Thoroughly enjoyed it they've not lost their touch not being open. Good selection of drinks and desserts available too. The hot fudge cake was proper cake and definitely served hot which is also great portion size very good too. If eating need to track and trace which is fine. And also book ahead not sure if it's mandatory but definitely advisable. All tables have a parasol but no large covering so just bear that in mind. Overall well worth going and great to be able to eat out again. Thanks for the hard work in reopening efficiently and safely!!

Very good service and delicious food. We will be back.

Just had a lovely meal at The Venture in Highfield. Amazing food and lovely staff. Highly recommend. Best steak I've had in a long time.

One of the worst experiences in a pub : table was not ready at time of arrival even if the reservation was made weeks prior, moved twice , table not cleaned until complained about it and finally, the festive meal for which I booked was not available because the pub did not even know about it, even if the confirmation email stated festive meal booking . Just asked for my deposit back and left. Would never set foot in this pub again

Always have a great time here, Colin the Quiz host is awesome, staff very approachable and food is great too & would highly recommend the chick 'n' mix platter

Excellent food, great choices, cooked to perfection. Good service, food served hot. Reasonably priced and great atmosphere

Went for a birthday meal, oh my word it was amazing, got exactly what I asked for, reasonably priced, staff lovely. Definitely recommend it

Great place for kids This review was for Haigh Hall! I don't know how it ended up here... however, we go to the Venture quite often and we love it! Its good value for money and every meal we've had there has been excellent!!! See you next week!!!
