The Pump House

Went here with a small group and was very impressed with the large menu and endless coffee refills. There are daily specials such as Steak Tuesday to take advantage of to keep you coming back.
The layout is warm and friendly with tables close enough to feel a pub atmosphere without feeling like sardines.
Food arrived quickly.
We loved the Proseco special — looks very impressive in the ice bucket.

Nice weatherspoons it does a great job with promoting local/​UK real ales good staff could be bigger at times. Worth a visit if your in Shirley & especially if your a CAMRA member.

A fairly new addition to the Shirley High St, Stratford Road. Shirley has been crying out for a J D Weatherspoons pub for a while to keep a healthy competition between the other chain pubs in the area and to give locals the option to eat and drink at a great value. The pub is very open, airy and spacious but still retains a comfortable feel to it like most other weatherspoons, it has a very fresh look to it. The food and drinks are great value and affordable. Different offers on each day. Typical good selection of beers and cask ales. I was glad to see Punk IPA available in bottle along with other world beers such as Krombacher and Sagres. I had the Monday special of Wiltshire cured ham, eggs and chips for £2.49. An absolute bargain. Good service. Seating outside for sunny days. I recommend it.

The Pump House opens on Park Gate, Shirley on Tuesday 9^th December. I was invited along to a training session today & found the pub to be very welcoming. The staff were lovely & so happy to help.
The range of ales, lagers & gins are extensive and the bar area is attractive with some lovely bar stool areas. The décor is cool & interesting as well as being cosy & intimate. There’s a choice of booths or you can combine tables for larger groups (there were 11 of us). Children are welcome too and it had a nice feeling of people dining rather than being there just to drink which can be off putting if you have children with you.
The food arrived quickly & was very hot due to the close proximity of the kitchen. We ordered a gourmet burger and I was asked if I d like an extra burger party or chicken — knowing my man the way I do, I said ’ of course’ and thought we d work out how we could manage all the good later!
The burger was as tasty as some that cost twice as much! I loved the Stilton & spring onion sauce & the chicken breast was moist. Chips were hot & well cooked as were the accompanying onion rings. The picture doesn’t do it justice as I was so excited to dig in that we d eaten all the onion rings before I took the photo.
The staff were accommodating and on hand with a smile, whatever you asked! We were so impressed that we ll be there for the opening on Tuesday (steak night!)
So if you re ever in the area & fancy a spot if food or a coffee after your shopping I highly recommend the Pump House — and it seems like you can park for free in Asda for up to three hours… so easy to combine the two.
