Reviews of Garden House
P. C.
Delicious food, lovely ambiance, great service and reasonable prices. This was perfect for a Sunday roast. Katie served us and was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back soon :)
B.
Fab pub food and good value for money. Excellent parking spaces. Very child friendly and lovely staff (special thanks to Theresa for looking after us today). Lovely range of vegetarian dishes for adults and children too!
S. W.
From the moment we walked in we had a lovely warm welcome from the lovely (Gina). She was very accommodating to our needs especially after our prior bad experience with TGI down the road. We was also greeted with a lovely welcome from (George )
Within 10 mins of us seating we were served with drinks and orders taken. The service is like 5* the food was VERY nice the presentation was on point.
The communication throughout our dining experience was very accommodating. I’ll definitely recommend this place to dine to anyone especially if I’m back in this area I’ll be looking out for Gina and George.
J. N.
An excellent pub for fine dining.
Ample seating outside and inside the pub catered to your needs.
An excellent array of drinks for different occasions. Love the way the whiskeys are arranged at the bar
This place has a great menu and the quality of food served is excellent. You feel like you are being served in a 5 start restaurant.
We were served by Theresa who had a good knowledge of the food choices and always had a smile.
There was individual attention given to every guest. I would go back to this place in a jiffy to try other dishes in the menu
K. R.
It is definitely a place to go! George and his staff provided excellent service, besides their delicious food, great atmosphere, and prices for great value.
G. K.
Went to the Garden House for the first time tonight. The service was superb, the food was fantastic. I explained my dietary requirements to Sharon, and she took the time to go through various options available to me. I went with the sirloin steak with salad and a mushroom/peppercorn sauce. It was delicious and just what I wanted. Sharon went out of her way to ensure that I was catered for and looked after. All the other staff were friendly and welcoming. First impressions count with me, and as such I will be back. Thank you to Sharon and the team at The Garden House, you certainly ticked all my boxes.
P. D.
Fabulous food and great service from George and his team. Very nice ambience as well. Would definitely recommend

December 2021.
Had a lovely Christmas Day meal at The Garden House. Very friendly and attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble. Sharon in particular was very professional whilst still being friendly and looked after our large party from beginning to end of our dinner making it a lovely Christmas Day. The younger children of the group were catered for well too and were each given a selection box before we left, which was a lovely touch. Have already started recommending here to people! Would definitely come again. Thank you!
K. S.
I love the decor here, the dark wrinkled wooden beams, warm lighting, makes you feel right at home (I don't have this at home 😅). Plenty of veggie/vegan options, I enjoyed the Veggie Kofta, Beetroot burger, the alcohol free Mojito was great. Thankful the for staff, for making an effort to decorate our table for our occasion too.
S. O.
The Garden House is a local favourite of ours. In honesty, the food is either gorgeous or just ok which is a shame.
The service however is always brilliant. Always pleasantly greeted and seated quickly. All staff are friendly and you feel looked after.
Today, Theresa was our server and she was fantastic. So friendly, made us feel really comfortable and welcome, she was attentive and fun! She is an asset to your team!
I. P.
Absolutely lovely atmosphere and food. Very reasonable prices for excellent meals and drinks. My waitress Sharon saw to my every need- kind and prompt. She even gave me some cake for free that she had prepared earlier. So glad I stopped in here on my first visit to the UK.
M. S.
Popped in for a quick bite to eat in-between visits to Birmingham eye hospital (approx 2 miles away)...plenty of parking, looked after by Theresa who sat us by the fire. Very attentive. Had fish + chips using Tesco Chef and Brewer voucher...great food.. would use again...nice atmosphere in pub and all diners appeared well looked after. Brilliant, and nice to meet you Theresa though we won't mention the football 🤣.
C. R.
The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere, a relaxing and chilled setting. I Would like to say thank you to our waitress Theresa who added a very accommodating service. Her customer service was exceptional and she went above and beyond with our evening.
M. M.
Visited Garden House (Hagley Rd) for my husband’s birthday (party of 8 people 5 adults, 3 children).. The food was great! We had: Mixed Grill, Fish & Chips, Signature Chicken, Steak and 2 kids meals. However, the star of our afternoon was Sam O our waitress. She was so patient, polite and professional. Nothing was too much for her! Garden House has always been our go-to family restaurant (we miss Carol though) and Sam O is an asset to the team.
Garden House,- Thank you for being a consistently great restaurant with fabulous food and amazing staff.
F. R.
Sunday lunch with the family. Food was hot fresh good potions. Everyone enjoyed puds and all.
The service from the welcome at the door to the drinks at the bar .Abbey our sever went above and beyond.
Service with a smile. Will be returning. Thanks.
R. R.
Lovely night out with welcoming atmosphere and cheerful staff- enjoyed our food nice generous portion of fish and chips (good homemade chips!). Our waitress Theresa was lovely and made sure everything went smoothly - she's a pro.
W. R.
Excellent customer service, with amazing atmosphere however here comes bad part the food presentation was 8/10 not bad there ,taste 4/10 it felt like some item where taken out of the freezer and microwave!! Drinks were presented well and served accordingly.
S. B.
They saved our new years eve!
Sharron (Manager) accommodated our late booking new years eve, and made the booking process very easy and pleasant. When we got to our table she had also gone the extra mile and dressed our table.
Good food, and great service. Thank you :)
M. E.
Great staff. Very helpful and bubbly personalities. Went the extra mile. Hubbies pie a little hard pastry case. Potato a little gloopy. My salmon fantastic great crunchy pickled onion salad way too much but delicious
J. J.
Had a really nice meal. Super friendly and helpful service. got a 3 course deal and felt like decent value. Will definitely pop back if i get the chance.
Y. S.
We had a beautiful time at the Garden House. The food portions were excellent 😍 we were served by Theresa and she was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, courteous, and we were made to feel welcome from start to finish.
C. W.
Food was super delicious, good price especially on weekdays 2 course for only £13.99, Sharon our waitress was very friendly and nice!
A. I.
Visited today for the first time.
I'll start with the positives. The building is beautiful, and the décor is very tasteful. The food is amazing! I had the slow roasted rib of beef. It was gorgeous. The meat fell off the bone with ease. I highly recommend you try this.
Unfortunately, the reason two stars are missing is because the service was dreadfully slow and it seemed to get slower as the place emptied! It took 40 minutes after being seated for someone to take our order. It took just about as long after our main course for someone to take our dessert order. At the end of the meal, I had to request the bill 3 times and then I still had to wait 20 minutes. I honestly think no one would have noticed if we'd just walked out without paying, because it felt like we'd been forgotten about. All in all I was in there for 2 and half hours for just 2 courses, which may not seem a long time, but most of that was spent waiting.
J. B.
The Garden House hosted an 18th birthday party for 24 of us this afternoon. From start to finish, they were really helpful and accommodating, food was lovely, and service was excellent. We’d particularly thank Theresa and Gina for all they did. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Garden House!!!
L. H.
We were a group of 3 hungry ladies looking for a meal after a hard day watching the tennis at Edgbaston Priory. Despite being very short staffed and having a limited menu, the manager looked after us very well and he and the 2 other staff (chef and bar person) should be commended for their hard work and professionalism in such difficult circumstances. All 3 of us had the seafood platter, which was well cooked and delicious and really hit the spot. We managed tasty desserts and the manager even donated a bit of milk to us for our breakfast in the Airbnb! 😁
C. W.
Spent a very pleasant evening at the Garden House. Service was impeccable as usual and I couldn't fault the food.
Mark served us with a smile and was very attentive made us feel welcome and even shared a joke or two.
Pleasant surrounding topped off with great company
E. S.
Lovely food and impeccable service. Theresa our waitress very friendly and attentative. The food was delicious no complaints, the manager also very friendly and approachable. Totally recommended and will return.
D. G.
Exceptional service from our host Theresa, lovely food and will definitely be back for another meal, thank you! :)
J. A.
Came for birthday celebrations for numerous family members, mine being my 50th!!
Staff couldn't have looked after us any better, they turned up the lighting as we had small children. Food was lovely and we didn't feel rushed at all. Thank yo to the staff at Garden House
S. V.
Very good food, amazing staff.
R. U.
Our waitress Theresa was amazing. Very friendly and super helpful. Had a great experience and will definitely be visiting again.
S. I.
Food was ok, Service not so good. The Greek guy was great; friendly and approachable. Guy with the tat by his eye and low cut, has a serious attitude problem. Rude condescending and disingenuous.
S. W.
Lovely place. Food us ok. Drinks are great. What makes this place is the staff. There's no rushing you out. It's just a relaxing place to chill.
G. W.
Starters forgotten about, so both courses delivered together. Fewer dishes available than on menu. Food was nice though. Manager gave a discount on bill.
G. M.
Just wanted to praise the fabulous Mark! What an asset he is to the business!! He’s always welcoming and goes out of his way to make our experience an enjoyable one- thank you Mark we’ll be back!!!
S. T.
Second visit (in a week 😳) great service, staff are so pleasant and proactively seek to make customers feel welcomed. Good food always helps too!
M. G.
We had a delightful meal here. served by the lovely Teresa who was brilliant with our little girl! Thanks xxx
S. R.

R. S.
The food was good ,very reasonably priced lunch menu 12,till 4 ,and the guiness is top class . Lovely building too.
S. S. K.
Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Good food and excellent for a evening out with family and friends. Relaxed but still nice enough to feel a little special. Good menu and very nicely presented.
T. W.
Such a lovely evening at the Garden house. Theresa was absolutely lovely and so helpful! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Theresa.
M. D.
This was my first visit on my sons recommendation & it's a great venue, I only had a drink but I will return to eat very soon.
M. B.
This was a reunion of staff from the old Thistle Hotel , what a wonderful meeting it was just seeing the their faces. Tina had flown in from Germany with her daughter.
N. F.
We arrived on time and was promptly taken to our seats, the guy who served us was very welcoming as we're all the staff that worked there thank you. The room was warm and open bit not too open that it like it wasn't cosy. We were given our drinks quickly as well as the 3 courses that we had chosen. There was no lag between courses and the attention to detail was second to none.
As you can see from my options they looked and tasted delicious too.
The price of the meal was fair for the food overall I can't complain and would be happy to go here again with family and friends. There was a mix of couples, groups and all ages and although it has a pub feel it did come across as like a restaurant too.
Why not 5 stars? For my 5 it needs to blow me away so this is a strong 4!
C. M.
Yes, was ok! Couple of drunks causing trouble,sadly,one of them was my friend but what can you do?! Pub was good though.
S. F.
Had our 1st Anniversary meal at The Garden House and was welcomed with open arms by Martin and the rest of the team!
We opted for the three course Christmas Fayre menu and WOW! the food was amazing!
Service with a smile and incredible food! We will be back!
M. N.
Very clean and safe environment. Seating arrangement to my requirements. Great choice of menu's and drinks. Pleasant atmosphere and very friendly service with a smile.
N. P.
We visited this evening to celebrate my birthday and had the pleasure of being served by Hannah (who was lovely and very patient whilst we dithered over the menus). The food was lovely and served quickly, with no issues. We won’t hesitate to visit again! Thank you so much for having us!
J. L.
Fabulous food and atmosphere. Thanks to Sharon for great service 😊
J. R.
The food and service are very, very good, but not the best. The food is not so expensive, but it's definitely better to go and eat during some special hours.
I think that the drinks should be a little bit cheaper.
Still, I recommend that place.
M. C.
Had an early dinner at the Garden House before going to a show in Birmingham. Would definitely recommend. We had the sharing platter starter and everything was amazing, even the vegetables were super tasty. The mains were perfect and the desserts were incredible. The Halloween decorations were up and they added to the whole experience. Our server was Sharon and she was lovely and attentive. Would definitely recommend coming here for a meal.
S. N.
We had a meal for 14 and absolutely everything was perfect. We preordained our meals, everything was correct and tasted amazing. Everyone was happy and the staff were friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Truly made our first team gathering in 18 months perfect! Thank you so much!
U. S.
This was our first visit here and wasn't too sure what to expect. Arrived a little early as we were dining with elderly relatives with walking difficulties and have to say the entire experience was excellent, from the initial greeting, superb food (at reasonable prices too), exceptional service (thank you Theresa!) and all in a lovely setting. We highly recommend here and will definitely return, thank you for making our visit so enjoyable.
M.
Quick update to the below; I must stress how amazing Sharon is who is dedicated and caring and not just on the day of the Wake (see below) but on every occasion that I have been at this pub. I needed additional information and a complete VAT receipt and after a little delay, Sharon got it resolved. Thank you!
I have had reason to hold another wake and I chose the Garden House on Hagley Road because from the moment I went back in I felt welcomed and well looked after. (I have been there several times in past and always had a great experience). The planning of the wake was straight forward and during that stage, I ate at the pub twice and on both occassions the food & service was outstanding.
The wake itself went extremely well and the kindness and care offered by Alan, (GM), George (assistant GM - I believe), Sharon, Mark and Team was just wonderful. They were attentive and worked hard throughout and I just felt they really cared and the whole event was handled amazingly and there was plenty of food (albeit I did over order but they kindly provided takeaway boxes to prevent waste) - overall really they were just outstanding. I highly recommend you try this lovely pub and see for yourself.
J. f.
First time here and feel lucky to have got Sharon as our host. Service with a smile, very attentive, nothing to much trouble and so genuinely friendly. Thank you Sharon for making it a special birthday/anniversary meal. I had the beef rib which was absolutely delicious. It won't be our last visit that's for sure!
K. P.
Excellent service with friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and good food. The complementary drink for our son’s eighteenth birthday was a lovely gesture. Sharon served us and she was lovely and welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended.
L. D.
We used this pub a lot before lockdown for mid week lunches and always excellent. We went for Sunday lunch and I had the slow cooked beef rib which was delicious, so tender it fell off the bone. Our friends had the slow cooked pork, one day as perfect, the other was tough and under cooked. Puddings of fruit crumble were good and nice coffee. Booking on line was easy and they honoured our special needs. Service was friendly . Large car park at rear, disabled at front. It was extremely busy and therefore quite noisy.
B. C.
rocked up Christmas lunchtime for drinks with family. was busy for food .all the staff were brilliant very polite and made us feel welcome .later came around with hot mince pies which was a very nice gesture.been a customer on an off for 40 plus years .highly recommend a visit plenty parking at rear also
G. B.
Lovely atmosphere and food has been brilliant so far
M. S.
Lovely venue, great garden area and really friendly and helpful staff. A great range of drinks to choose from. Only thing that prevented giving a 5 star rating was that I asked for a salad without anchovies and the waiter took note of this but when the salad arrived there were anchovies were still in the dish. I did eat around them and it was a lovely salad but for next time would prefer without as asked. Will be recommending to friends :)
K. T.
Well! What a surprise! For the prices on the menu you could be forgiven for expecting average portions and average quality. The Garden House was very good on both counts. The service provided by Sharon was very good as well - tonight was the first time I have had a member of staff come to the table and say that our meal was next, just being plated and.....we hadn't even been waiting that long up to that point! Good service all round!
A. P.
Four of us ordered their famous fish and chips with peas. Fish filed the plate and the batter is so crisp.
Good variety of starters, service brilliant. Good value for money
Been back there two weeks ago and frankly I would never go there again.
One cook (not a chef) on Friday lunch time. And one waitress , No service everything we ordered didn't happen
Fish and chips the biggest failure. Soggy under cooked and suddenly tasted more like Pollock than cod.
Got food we hadn't ordered and really everything that was delivered to our table had to be changed.
Custard instead ice cream ,and the coffee bog standard stuff as coffee maker out of order.
Waited for everything. Finally we left cash on the bar as we were tired of waiting for a bill despite our numerous requests
They should either have taken no more orders or put all diners in one area. Or better just closed the restaurant completely.
J. B.
Popped in for lunch with my daughter today. Absolutely fantastic value for money. Food was tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. The service, from Theresa was fantastic, and added to enjoyment of the meal. 2 good meals, 2 scrumptious desserts and drinks for under £40, with the Blue Light card.....Amazing Value.
P. M.
By name + nature - a beautiful watering hole with a huge green space .
Huge garden hidden away from the main road 2 minutes from the main city centre.
Great spot on a sunny afternoon.
Pub also caters for privates parties which can be separated from main public space.
J. B.
My 1st meal there, for my 60th. 1 meal had to be sent back as not hot, other 7 meals were ok, but no one said was great. All deserts were good. The waitress was nice and understanding. Others in the group said this was their worst visit. I guess the kitchen staff had a few issues this visit.
D. K.
Prior to our recent visit, we would have rated this 5 star without hesitation. We have been visiting regularly over the last 5/6 years. The service by Theresa and ambience still is but the main course was not it's usual high standard(Sunday Roast). The food appeared as if it was through on the plate, presentation was poor and beef was rubbery. I was deeply disappointed.
s. h.
Amazing experience thank you to Sharon and Theresa looking after us and all staff amazing food and drinks and lovely place
g.

A. S.
Great place to eat and you can take your Dog too. We have just had a puppy in the family and our 1 year old too who hates being left. So it was great to be able to go out and take them with us. Very friendly staff and the food was good, good value for money. Would definitely recommend and I will definitely be going back.
R. B.
Service was great and the food was lovely. Special mention to Sam, Sharon and Lisa who looked after us throughout the evening. Would highly recommend to all. Keep you the great service and work.
S. i.
The staff are excellent with a nice humorous service from Layla & Kirsty coupled with the
good food it made for a plesent evening & it got better when they burnt our bill in front of us saying it’s burnt bill Tuesday, we was pleasantly surprised, I was also impressed with the advertisement for Burns night on the chalk board in the picture frame done by “Taylor’s got Talent”
C. C.
What a lovely pub close to the botanical gardens.
We enjoyed a lovely dinner at this pub. The desserts were to die for and the main meal was lovely too. The waitress was attentive pleasant, and very helpful.
Very comfortable seating and a great atmosphere if anyone is around this part of town I'd definitely recommend it. Thanks
K. D.
Had a lovely meal with my mom, and aunt today, and it was lovely food!
Our server Keke was polite, patient, and didn't rush us at all, and that's exactly what you want when your eating out!
L. M.
Really nice place, great atmosphere great food and really friendly and attentive staff highly recommended
L. D.
Visited last Saturday for a late lunch. Service was slow and food was average. Waiter and bar staff were friendly. Would not visit here for food again, but seems a nice place for a few drinks.
R. M.
Very friendly and helpful staff for our reserved area. Buffet food was of good quality and variety. Thank you for looking after us on our sad gathering.
A. B.
My husband and I had the night off from my son who was out, so my husband asked where do you want to go for a meal the first place I said was here, it did not disappoint. Excellent food and service. Our waitress was Teresa was brilliant she was very helpful and friendly and had good sense of humour. The fire alarm went off in the middle of our meal and staff were good at putting us at our ease, there were a few small children who were scared, but staff reasured them and the children were happy. We have been going here for years and introduced my family to the place a long while ago and they love it, my dad is very fussy where he eats, however he loves it here. We may even come here for fathers day if we decide to eat out.
P. R.
Had an amazing slow cooked rib of beef roast here. One of the nicest roasts I've ever had, the waitresses were friendly, funny and had great recommendations.
M. W.
Fabulous food and lovely service. I'd definitely recommed!
E. B.
Visited the garden house with my partner for a Sunday lunch today. Very relaxing atmosphere as there was a lovely jazz band playing. Was served by a very professional and attentive lady called Sharon, she was very friendly and very accommodating.
The Sunday lunches were plentiful and delicious and we can’t wait for our next visit!
T. G.
We went for lunch on a flying visit in the area. The food was lovely and good value, and our server Theresa was great. Additional thanks to her for her advice on our visit to the German market, it was very helpful.
K. S.
Food here was exceptional and beautifully presented! All staff we came across were welcoming and friendly but Mark our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable with what to choose! Definitely come again!

K. W.
Yesterday, I enjoyed a great family celebration at The Garden House. Having to follow a strict free-from diet I rarely have high expectations for a good meal out! The "special" buffet options provided for yesterday were both very tasty and substantial which helped make the occasion even more enjoyable. Thank you so much and well done!
R. N.
Lovely setting and friendly staff. I really enjoy my time at The Garden House. Highly recommend.
M. B.
Wonderful pub venue, just outside the city. Ideal venue to meet with friends or family. Wonderful choices of food & drinks of all ranges and the value for money is excellent. The service and attention was exquisite thanks to Adam. Will be visiting again soon.

A. T.
Fantastic service from Sharon and the team, as always.
We had a lovely time for our daughter's 2nd birthday meal.
The food was amazing and well priced and the little touches of giving our daughter some paper and crayons and suitable cutlery for toddlers, made the experience so much easier.
Thank you and we will be seeing you again soon.

Great Sunday visit, party split between having roasts and Burgers, but everyone enjoyed their orders!
Very clean in general and quick drinks service, big thanks to Sharon for being efficient and attentive throughout!
A. K.
Would love to give it more but our last visit was really poor slow service food half cooked or cold been so much better before this would go again. Maybe just a post Covid slip.
k. J.

Sharon was a fantastic host. Excellent service. Delicious food - their English Breakfast was so fresh and the perfect portion. I shall be coming back.
T. K. T. B. J.
Reasonably priced good standard of food. Be aware if you order the kids desserts, that a sundae is massive, while the chocolate flowerpot is tiny. Looks very unfair to a kid.
Y. D.
Food was not really up to scratch. Bit over priced lunch menu.
A. B.
I like it here. Nice period features with the oak beams. Good drink selection with nice wine and gin. I drank the IPA which was pulled well. Large beer garden. Nice restaurant adjoining. Clean restrooms.

We booked a head but the food came late the portions were ok but the quality was a little lacking flavour was nice but you can tell certain parts had been ready for a while staff were friendly enough and my answer is very nice although the general customer there are came across a little pretentious

Would love to give it more but our last visit was really poor slow service food half cooked or cold been so much better before this would go again. Maybe just a post Covid slip.

Had a late lunch with the girls. Think I was given the last scraps of the roast pork. Had been so looking forward to it, a bit disappointing.

What a great first meal after lockdown in a pub! We visited on a sunny bank holiday monday.we decided to make the most of rhe weather and eat in the garden.we decided to order on the app, our drinks and food came quite fast & we enjoyed it.the staff were really busy but that didnt stop most asking if everything was ok.we shall definately visit again soon .keep up good work 😁

We have been dining as a small group at the Garden House for a around 3 years, usually on a monthly basis. We all enjoy the food, and like to take advantage of any coupon discounts.
The menu is to all tastes, and the set price menu is good value when needed.
My favourite is the Sea Bass Florentine, always so tasty, followed by a generous serving of ice cream.
We took advantage of the recent discounts to try the more expensive dishes, such as the lamb choices, all very successful,
We mostly get looked after by Sam, who is the very best waitress there. She is friendly, but efficient, and she remembers who we are and our likes and dislikes with food and drinks.
It is always difficult for the organiser to work out who owes what when the bill comes, but Sam makes sure it’s made easy by working out separate bills when this helps.
Nothing is too much trouble, and we always look forward to her friendly welcome, especially since Covid days have made things more difficult for everyone.
I would like Sam to be told of our gold star review of her, also her ‘boss’.

Had a young man, it was his first night as waiter...he was friendly and did his best. Could tell that the staff were doing their best to make sure their service was top notch...
Apart from a few hiccups a good night

I visit and eat at this establishment a number of times a year. You can eat or drink inside or out,in the gardens, weather permitting. The staff are friendly and in these times of the Coronavirus, social distancing is maintained. The food is good and reasonably priced. A pleasant and safe place to have a meal in these current times.
C. P.
Theresa our server was excellent. Very friendly, efficient and helpful. A real credit to the Garden House.

Great customer service and good quality food. Great at accomodating alterations to your order due to allergies or sensitivities, even have a gluten free menu.

I visited the garden house yesterday and have to say the meal was amazing. There was Covid safety precautions In place which made me feel safe. Customer service was great and I was served by Sharon who was very lovely. food tasted amazing and I will return as soon as I can.

Tried the Korean chicken stips recently. Absolutely spot on, very filling. Nice evening no pressure and relaxing. Recommended. OK for just a few drinks!
D.
Went here for Sunday roast.
The drinks were good, the food was mediocre however. I had the turkey, which was fine, but the potatoes were chewy and tasted like they'd been sitting for quite a few hours before being served. The Yorkshire puddings were very dry too.
My girlfriend has the chicken burger which many people in our group who ordered it said it was also pretty tough and didn't taste great.
That said, we've been here before when they've had better days and the building itself is nice.
A. W.
Lovely, friendly staff, very fast service and amazing food, would definitely come again. Thank you to Sharon for a wonderful experience :)

First time here and have found the staff, food and ambiance all fantastic ❤️ Will definitely be back!

Lovely food and Mark the waiter was brilliant
D. J.
Loved the food, but service was not the best. The bar and kitchen seemed to be struggling with the orders. First another tables order was brought to our table, then when our correct meal did arrive it was wrong. I asked for the starter to come out with he main and it did not, leaving our mains going cold on the side in the kitchen. Fortunately another staff member (Leon, great customer service btw) remembered my request and went and got our mains. Four tables were waiting on drinks and Leon was repeatedly apologising for their wait. My order must have got lost as my drink did not arrive at all. Other than maybe the food could have been a bit hotter I have no complaints about my dinner it was lovely.
P. c.
very friendly staff and great service food good but some portions are small especially puds would recommend

This is my first visit to this establishment and what a pleasant experience it was. My friend and I started with a pink gin and tonic before ordering a sea bass and rice with seafood combo and my friend had the chicken in a basket with fries and a side salad. The food was excellent and very well presented, being good value for money. It was a pleasure to able to sit down, eat, relax and drink without being harassed by drunks, junkies and beggars in a nice environment.
We both had a rum based bread pudding with hot custard for dessert 🍰 and finished the evening with another glass of pink gin and tonic before setting off for home.
Well worth a look and visit.
G. C.
I'll give an honest review of this pub based on the experience we had when we visited. We visited the pub on the evening of the 5th February. The pub itself has a lot of character with a large open fire in the dining area. Food is good and reasonably priced. When we went it was quite busy but we were seated very quickly. Our drinks and food order was taken very quickly by the girl who was working in the restaurant, our starters and mains came very quickly and like I say, the food was good. Issues arose when we asked for the bill, it took a while for the bill to actually arrive, this was due to the girl in the restaurant being the only member of staff on duty in the restaurant that night, although she was assisted by the bar staff it turns out she was waiting on 14 tables on her own! Personally I think that is too many tables for one person to manage. This is the only thing that let the pub down slightly, maybe the management didn't expect it to be as busy as it was but, I think if somewhere gets busy there needs to be a bit of planning to put more staff in the restaurant. That being said, the girl who was in the restaurant did a sterling job and was as attentive as she could be given that she was managing 14 tables, I applaud her for that.
G. W.
A lovely, relaxing public house. The staff, despite what's going on with covid, are all very welcoming and put you at ease as soon as you walk in. At no point was I made to feel unsafe, which is a great credit to all concerned. The choice of ales is good, the food menu excellent and service second to none. If you are apprehensive about going to places don't be, going here you feel safe, relaxed and can forget all the bad things going on in the world.
A. W.
Lovely, friendly staff, very fast service and amazing food, would definitely come again. Thank you to Sharon for a wonderful experience :)

Found this place when we were down for the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Was just a small walk from our hotel. Went on Thursday and Friday Evening.
Didn't wait long for a table on the Thursday, greeted with friendly, happy staff and shown to table. Drinks arrived promptly. The food was great and excellent value for money.
Friday was a little more busier as you would expect but the service was still top class considering how busy they were and again food hit the mark.
Wee mention to our sever on both evenings, THERESA, excellent customer skills, a joy to speak to and looked after us very well. See you next year
L. D. C.
Lovely old pub, the internal space is quite spacious. Decor was contemporary, very clean. Its outside beer garden was good.
We had a private corner in one of the rooms, due to a very large family gathering which is hired out.
Waiting staff were very accommodating and tended to our needs. Which deservedly got a tip. Food was fresh, reasonably priced and very good.
L. A.
We've been here the past 2 years running for our annual family meal and catch up. We choose it as it caters for different people's tastes and is very reasonably priced. It's always around Christmas when we meet up and given how busy they are at this time of year and the size of our party, the food is consistently good! The service is fantastic and the staff are very friendly and accommodating, especially given the rising number of children and babies coming to this meal. I'm sure we will be returning this year too!!

Top place 4,,a drink and something' to eat
J. M.
One of my favourite eating places. Never had a bad meal in all the years been coming here. Tip: get on the mailing list. Sometimes I get three and look up the offer at the table, to save a few pounds!! 🍺😍
J. B.
Lovely Sunday roast. Good variety of meats available - although all slightly over cooked.
Balance of sides to meat was slightly too weighted to the side dishes in my opinion.
Sharing platters worked well as a starter for our group and offered everyone the chance to try something a little different.
Very nice soft drink menu to give a nice alternative to more traditional alcoholic beverages.
D.
My regular. Food is good. Service is friendly and decent speed. My preferred place as I prefer a quieter drink. It isn't overly quiet though. Garden has plenty of seating and is lovely when weather is good. Loads of parking out back and just a generally convenient location. Preferred it slightly moreso when it was under previous ownership years ago but still a great pub.
S. C.
We as a family would like to Thank Jen for making our day at The Garden House a lovely memorable occasion for our dear mother who celebrated her 82 birthday on 05/06/19. Her hospitality from start to finish was amazing, she was curious, patient and always greeted with a smile.
We came as a party of 20 which was a lot, everybody was served together the food was hot and most enjoyable, big shout out to the chef. We could not find any fault, I have been here a few occasions and have always had fantastic service, locations is great beautiful and clean inside and out and all staff members are always pleasant.
Thank you very much Jen for your wonderful pleasant personality and beautiful smile you certainly made our day, we left feeling happy that our dear mother enjoyed her day, from the Clarke family God bless and keep up the good work you continuously do daily. xxx

Was really amazing service and some great food thanks Abbi

I have always enjoyed going to the Garden House. I am in Birmingham regularly on business and always make sure I go there for drinks and/or food. The food is always excellent, and the service from Sharon, Samantha and Theresa, as well as the rest of the team is brilliant.
E. B.
Good service. Overpriced, food was cold. Not great
D. R.
Went to Burns Night event Jan 25. Upon arrival duty manager apologised that Piper was unable to make it. As compensation he provided 2 bottles of wine for each table of 8. Good start. They had gone to a lot of trouble to dress the tables (and the staff) in tartan. The food was beautifully presented, hot, adequate portions and tasty. The lead table server Gail was very courteous, efficient and cheerful. At the end of the evening when the bill was presented there was a discrepancy as there often is with a group of 25. This was handled without fuss.
I cant fault the evening and would recommend it as an office/family party venue as we had a room to ourselves.
If they put on a 4July bash we'll be there! Good work Garden House
R. C.
Excellent venue for a coffee ,lunch ,dine in or to use the bar with ample parking..haven't tried the food yet but will review soon. Thx
T. M.
Hiya - just a note to say thanks to all at Garden House for the wake we had with you after our recent funeral - nice spacious private annex room just off main bar/restuarant area but retaining the pub atmosphere ! - the hot and cold buffet served up was superb, plentiful and value for money - we had our own music in background too as well which was great and there was no charge for room to boot ! - we ended up staying till closing time ! - recommended

Been to the Garden House many times and must say we haven't had a bad experience.
For the place to be busy on Monday says it all. The food was nice, tasty, hot.
The only complaint I ever have is they seem understaffed. This doesn't effect the service they just look super stressed.
The look of the restaurant is lovely very rustic.
Lovely beer garden in the summer. Great location, loads of parking out the back.
G. B.
Good food and the service was great.
Theresa was very attentive :)
P. D.
Very nice lunch - the sandwiches were particularly delicious. A very helpful young waitress went to great pains to ensure we had everything we wanted, nothing was too much trouble for her and enhanced our experience greatly.
N. B.
The food was really over priced for what it was, and the sides were not well prepared. They also left me waiting for my dessert for at least 20 mins after bringing out my friends and only then told me that they didn't have any of my selection left. The meat with the roast dinner was well prepared, but the veggie roast was disappointing.
P. H.
From the moment we walked in the door the waiting staff were wonderful and attentive, considering they were busy with xmas parties. The table was nicely decked out with ribbon and crackers. The drinks were served quickly and so was the food. Which was delicious. My youngest had mac and cheese, which was full of flavour and cooked nicely. All our meals were fantastic. Only minor issue the rear carpark the alley was very narrow and the carpark itself was very dark. Overall a great place for a family meal out.

A lot batter than my last visit.
Service good and the food nice.

Festive lunch yesterday for 21 members of Birmingham Central branch Royal Naval Association. We were looked after brilliantly by Sharon and team--nothing was too much trouble. We were treated with courtesy, efficiency, and humour. Food and service excellent. Seating area a little cramped but no complaints as we moved tables around to suit our needs. This was the third year we have been to the Garden House for a branch function and we will continue to meet there in the future. Many thanks, Sharon, for putting up with us again!!
C. G.
Very safe, clean and tidy. Food was well cooked and very tasty.

Amazing food!!!! The restaurant was full so was offered a table in the bar area which was very nice, great atmosphere and reasonably priced. In general the staff were really professional only a couple that obviously didn't want to work a Saturday night but nothing unusual really. Definitely recommend it. Would eat there again and suggest the beautiful lamb and eaton mess it was divine!
M. O.
Fantastic food /buffet at a recent memorial, lovely staff. Excellent service
M. P.
Nice cosy pub/restaurant.
Only negative was I had a Chef & Brewer gift card to use, the kind woman behind the bar tried her best to process it but couldn't, it seemed no one else wanted to help her so I had to pay by card - not her fault though. Should have been easier or manager should have come and helped.
M. M.
Very friendly and polite staff, good food, only downside was too many dishes missing from the menu.
N. D.
Pub/Restaurant area - Clean, Spacious with a good ambience
Staff - very hospitable and service was great.
Theresa was more than helpful
Food menu - wide array of food which is well priced.
Food - looks and tastes brilliant. We tried a variety of meals which were well presented expecially the lamb shoulder.
P. J.
This was my first time here (my wife has been here several times with her work and has never had any problems), the food was really great but the guy serving us obviously was having a bad day and was miserable, had a bad attitude and got our bill wrong (We told him that it was wrong and he huffed and made a big deal about it). After we left we said that we won't go back, but it won't stop us using another Chef and Brewer pub.
N. D.
Apart from an impossible app that asks for you life history just to order a drink, pretty good.
Great staff, nice food, good service.
D. R.
Excellent food good value roasts. Visited a couple of weeks ago and was served with excellence by Mark. Theresa served us today and this was an equally pleasant experience. Definitely worth visiting if in Birmingham and want good wholesome tasty food without breaking the bank.

Nice lunch today with pleasant and friendly staff. We ordered Gammon with egg and Pineapple, Battered Halloumi with chips and we wanted to order the cod goujons in the sandwich without the bread which was accommodated without any problems. Quick service - basic but tasty fayre, which came quickly after ordering.
M. D.
We have been here loads of times and always been fantastic but the last 2 times have not been the best. The steak was cold and didn't really enjoy it the pudding was a 5* but main was not good . Staff are brilliant can't fault but please get bc on track with the food. It wasn't busy due to bad weather so do not understand why food would be cold.
P. B.
Great family friendly no-nonsense gastro pub. Book in advance if you can as it is usually full, although it has plenty of tables. The waiting staff is super kind, they are great with children as most of the guests are families at least at lunch time. Be aware that while you can sit and drink outside, they only serve food inside.
Plenty of parking space and a bus stop right in front of the entrance.
G. Y.
Hadn't been here for many years, so, with twenty quids worth of vouchers in hand we decided to try lunch. Best I can say about the food was it was edible. I regularly have better fish n chips from our local, and my partner's macaroni dish was cold. At least our puddings were hot, if uninspiring. Oh, and my partner had to borrow my jacket as she was freezing. The three stars would have been two, but saved by the pleasant and cheery lady who served us.
C. R.
Beautiful setting for our family gathering, great bar staff, lovely toilets, smoking area, lovely ambience
J. P.
This is a spacious, friendly pub with tasty food and a nice atmosphere. The service was above and beyond. Theresa is an absolute diamond and took great care of us, making our sunday lunch as relaxed as possible. Would highly recommend!
s. w.
Excellent Sunday roast and fantastic service from Sharon in her awesome Halloween costume!
S. K.
A really lovely Sunday lunch. Gemma was our waitress and she was absolutely lovely, we had some problems with our table at the start but Gemma immediately rectified the situation. The food was served promptly even though it was a busy Sunday afternoon and the food was great. We'll definitely be back again when we are in Birmingham.
C. G.
The prices here are rock bottom for drinks and food isn't bad either. They have a nice outside seating area if the weather is accommodating. Large amount of parking at the back, and a few spaces at the front. I would recommend this pub as a convenient spot for meeting as it's located on the main drag, has parking and also close to a bus stop.
C. S.
We literally come here all the time we live it so much! The food (although part of a chain) is incredible. The chefs are clearly very talented at what they do. Great choice for food with both veggie and vegan options. Amazing garden area - you wouldn't know you were on hagley road. Despite the manic business I have always had top rated customer service. The only thing that would be nice is some visibility on voucher deal sites although the prices are fair.
E. F.
Really tasty food except waiting time was over an hour and the soup was cold 🥶
C. S.
Visiting Birmingham for the first time staying in a hotel just up the road from this lovely local pub. We attended on an evening when they where short staffed due to a variety of reasons. My partner and myself could not fault the service that we received from our waitress Theresa, even tho she was really busy she still took the time to make us feel welcome and apologised for any deals with service. The food was fantastic very fresh, had the homemade feel. We chose to eat from there evening menu selecting the chicken liver pate for starters with sourdough bread, all of which seemed to be made fresh on site and not brought pre prepared. For mains my partner had fish and chips which also was very nice and seemed to be fresh prepared. I had the sea bass and scollops on prawn and pea risotto which was equally as nice and again seemed freshly prepared. For dessert I had a chocolate and raspberry torte which was definitely a homemade dessert very rich in flavour. Overall if we are to visit Birmingham again we will definitely revisit the garden house, we will also recommend to friends and family if they are to visit.
A. J.
Had a meal with several friends on a Friday evening. Booked in advance as I think it can get busy. Everyone enjoyed their meal and service was good. Good choice of food and reasonably priced. Not many carparking spaces at the front but large carpark at the back but it could do with better lighting
R. W.
Good food with great customer services
K. B.
Relaxing and calming place to visit. Excellent service.
K. G.
Absolutely gorgeous pub for a homely meal. Staff are fantastic and couldn't be more helpful if they tried!
Prices are very reasonable and food is always delicious (On the two occasions I have been I couldn't fault it if I wanted too!
Would highly recommend signing up online aswell, was recently my birthday and they sent me through a 20% off voucher!
Lovely atmosphere, highly recommend.

The service by staff (Carol) was excellent. A last minute treat for the family. The food was superb and even though the meal I wanted was not on the menu Carol asked the chef who prepared the meal for me. Great place to eat out. ☺

Spent a wonderful afternoon at the garden house, service and food was outstanding. Couldn't recommend this place enough.
M. W.
The food there was average at best and the food came to us not hot but lukewarm. The price of what was being served was overpriced as well. Entering and exiting the car park through small tunnels will make it prone to scratching your car, any car wider that a small family car it a no-go.
M. A.
The Garden House has always been one 9f my favourite places to eat & meet up with friends, such a friendly warm atmosphere, efficient & friendly staff & the food is amazing 💕
K. S.
Not been here in nearly a decade. Used to come regular for the lamb shank. Well the decor has chsnged completely. Food was spot on as was the service. I has the chicken gourmet burger. It was cooked to perfection. Can't complain will definitely be back again within the decade.
P. W.
I liked the Garden House. Bright and airy inside, with a varied menu. I went for breakfast with colleagues. Not great for my waistline but an excellent cooked breakfast. I'll be back again. The healthy option next time.
R. C.
The Garden House is a spacious and comfortable pub with a pleasant rear garden if the weather is nice. Service is efficient and friendly. The menu at lunchtime has a reasonable variety at moderate prices. Parking is plentiful.
G. W.
This is a really nice pub with very friendly staff. The atmosphere is friendly but there is good distance between tables so you feel on your own not part of someone else's party.
The menu is huge and has some great offers. For starters my wife had a prawn cocktail as she is very old school. The Prawn Cocktail was huge and had at least 40 prawns (seriously and.very tasty with a Marie Rose sauce and lettuce. A couple of pieces of bread for less than a fiver (if I remember correctly). I had three large Calamari rings they were lightly battered served with a small salad with a dressing and Tartare sauce.
The Tartare sauce was probably wrong option a good aoli would have been better or a couple of wedges of lemon.
The mains were massive the wife had Cod,Chips and Mushy peas portion was huge and tasted delicious served old style on a paper and even a wooden chip fork which are nice touches.
The burger and drink for a £10 was massive a well cooked burger, bacon,cheese, and a fried egg on top on a brioche bun with fries and coleslaw. Cooked perfectly tasted wonderful but a killer on the diet well something deserve a cheat day this was one.
Whole meal with soft drinks and coffees under £35 which is great value. If ever in the area and fancy a nice traditional meal pop into the Garden House.

Very nice place with excellent and friendly staff. My wife had lasagne and loved it, my son had the Italian plata and said it was a good choice.
I had the sirloin steak cooked medium rare, not much flavour and very tough with lots of fad.

Went to a birthday party. A busy place on the Hagley Road so we went by taxi more convenient for us. Parking space for drop and pick up. Drink expensive but it is Birmingham food ok but a little disappointing. It was a buffet the meals served in pub looked great need to try it.

Such a warm atmosphere, the beer garden is lovely. Food is amazing and a good price. Staff have always been very friendly and accommodating. Well worth a visit

Good service. Our table was neatly set and ready for our meal. All cutlery, crockery and glass wear was clean. The service was cheerful, punctual but most of all effective. Solid selection of wines, gins, soft drinks etc. Includes traditional beverages. Not many locally sourced. The menu has a good selection of what would be considered gastro pub classics. It has a nice selection of vegetarian meals, one gluten free meal but you could make others gluten free and one vegan set meal but again you could make others vegan with a few edits. Good selection of condiments. Fish and chips and vegetarian fish were both firmly liked. The award winning gammon was very well enjoyed. The lasagna was enjoyed. As was the steak pie. The vegetarian burger was well liked. Improvements suggested were a little less mayonnaise in the cold slaw. Parking is around the back and front. The path needs to be considerably better lit for safety and also will allow people to park neater and create more spaces naturally. It is accessible via bus station the stop is right outside. Or train station and a short walk from Fiveways. It's on a main road so well lit. Enjoyable night. Will be returning.

You'd think it was difficult to find a relatively intimate setting for dinner just a stones throw from Hagley Road, but the garden house accomplishes just that. Good food catering both to gastros and healthy eaters, real ale or fine wines, the meal is whatever your mixed bag of friends desires. Even when busy, noise levels are low enough to hold a decent conversation. Can't give it a higher recommendation than to say it's where I brought my new prospective in laws knowing I wouldn't be let down!

Good Service, God set of beers, food is not bad too. The Parking space at the back of the pub is neglected...narrow entrance, and exit... Not much light, overgrown trees, and in dark many customers cannot see exit...

I had lunch here this afternoon, food was okish nice decor and seeming nice,
however the roast potatoes where not great or roasted and had clearly plated without the golden crisp that roasted potatoes should have.
I was content as I was hungry, my disappointment came when I saw the dinning room manager (assumed)but did note name badge with mark on it , put his hands and driving a young black waitress towards a table to deliver food ,the witness had been engaged to a customer for a few seconds as he shook her hand and thanked her.
only to later hear him (mark)telling other staff member about her poor performance !!
unprofessional? in front of customers? not exceptable by any standard I feel.
after finishing our meal we went to the bar as my other half was paying the bill , the same guy is now behind the bar and taking orders , my other half handed over money that was snatched from his hand without (mark ) making any eye contact to take money or deliver change , my other half being black also, might there be a connection due to skin colour I ask myself .
needless to say we both walked away feeling he was a racist.
and extremely unprofessional.

This was my 1st visit to this pub although I've driven past it many times I'm glad to say that I enjoyed the great menu being offered. I must say the selection doesn't burn an hole in the pocket the table service was brilliant felt relaxed will be going back again in the future.
A. S.
Awesome place. Staff are honestly exceptional. Outdoor seating is nice on a sunny day but inside is just as nice. Good atmosphere, not too loud... Food is a bit expensive.
L. W.
Nice place and lovely staff. Food was not
the best though and
didn't enjoy it much.
S.
For a chain pub it's better than most. Good decor, good prices on alcohol, nice garden.
T. B.
The pub is alright, staff is super friendly and atmosphere is good, the garden in summer is lovely, only problem is I always have to wait for ages to get served. Never seems to have enough staff on busier times.
M. S.
Very friendly staff,easy parking with huge car park at back. I had the excellent and amazing value sea bass Florentine meal. Menu contains lots if tried and tested favourites.
K. C.
Food is lovely, would definitely recommend. excellent service by the young gentleman called Jason made me feel very welcome I will be back
n. w.
It's was OK, Vegetarian options arent amazing but would go again.
A. J.
Food was okay, perhaps a little pricey (we had the roasts on a Sunday). Service was slow with the mains, so was glad we ordered a little starter first. Had to send an unpleasant pint back, which is always disappointing. Spacious car park, nicely laid out, pleasant atmosphere, large garden with plenty of seating at the back, the kid liked it.
j. b.
Food was pretty good and affordable, my medium rare steak was medium to well done, but still good, dessert (plum pie and custard was huge and delicious! Pepper kebab starter was a nice flavour but very dry, six diners, 6 sets of cleared plates with no issues, would definitely go again! It's a bit out of town, but we'll served by buses and plenty of car parking!
A. F.
Went on Sunday Great food and great service will be booking up again soon 🙂
J. C.
Fab meal, lovely place, best of all was the waitress Sam.
She couldn’t do enough to help and catered beautifully for my food allergy
M. B.
Cannot get served at bar while they just standing there because so called boss said so. Waited outside 10 mins then had to go back in. I is this what it's come to. Crazy.
M. S.
Best place to eat out have a meal with your friends top chef Tony
D. B.
Great, came back after lock down seen all the regular staff, all wearing face protection, there's a certain member of staff who is part of the furniture and she made me very welcome, well done all of you, hope things pick up soon.
A. W.
Nice big pub, good food, but OH DEAR LORD the waitress was over-familiar. Remember the good old days, when your table server would just take your order and bring you your food, without doing silly voices, making "jokes" about everything and having an excruciating five minute conversation about Peppa Pig with a six year old who clearly desperately doesn't want to talk to the weird grown up, and just get on with his colouring in? Those were the days....
Good real ale, compliments to the cellarman
C. B.
Enjoying a Friday night at the Garden House, excellent location and service. Wide choice of food on the menu. Food was superb!
Would definitely recommend! 😊🍽
M. C.

S. L.
Fantastic manageress looked after us all night, only let down by a waitress who didn't seem interested, and had a poor attitude, bringing out steak without knowing how it was cooked! As I said, the manageress saved the night with her excellent service
R. T.
Came today. The scallop starter was delicious. Main was just as lovely. Staff were very nice and helpfull. Will be coming again. Thank you
D. H.
Fantastic food Great service Sharon is absolutely fantastic. Will definitely come back 😀❤

The food from grill was excellent. Only one gripe: rump stake prepared medium and rare provided no difference. Prices affordable, atmosphere pleasant. Recommended.
B. P.

J. H.
I visited this place yesterday with my family it was my first time, I have to say I was very pleased all our food was excellent really enjoyed it. We sat on a lovely big table and the lady who looked after us who was named carol was brilliant attended to all needs lovely lady.
B. H.
Had a gourmet chicken burger and chips and desert on a set menu only to realise when we got the bill we could have had it a lot cheaper being a Wednesday night. When gourmet burger and drink is just £10.
Burger was quite small, wish I want to tgi,s now and left a lot fuller.
J. P.
The Sunday lunch I can only say was excellent service with a smile we will definitely be back can't fault it they deserve to do well.
S. D.
It was my first visit to the Garden House pub. I found it very welcoming and homely. The service pretty good, and the food and drink reasonable. I will certainly consider a return visit.

Great place to eat. Disappointed with food as wasn't hot enough but in their defence, they did seem rushed off their feet so didn't want to interrupt what they were doing. Atmosphere was jubilant and relaxed

Had an amazing time last night, there was a DJ in the house and met some incredible people, including Teresa who was very welcoming to two out of towners. Would definitely recommend this place.
N. T.
Nice place. Good atmosphere. Wasn't busy but staff didn't listen and got drink order wrong. A little pricey too
F. D.
Lovely place, really nice staff and the food didn’t ring any alarm bells. The only dampener was the constant attention of the local wasps, which diminished the garden experience somewhat, however I can’t fault the establishment.
D. A.
Nice decor. Friendly staff. Food just needs a little tweaking. I have had fish goujon on bread I think this would be better on a roll and with tartar sauce
B. S.
Excellent food and friendly staff. Recommended!
A. H.
Lovely beer garden, but App not 100% effective although more than compensated for by staff

K. S.
I love this place. Great food, great drink. And I met my now wife here 5 years ago.
S. F.
We went to the restaurant on Mother’s Day this year 2018 and we were not only disappointed with the service but the food was not very good at all and cold to boot. We were however served fresh plates once we alerted the staff to this.
C. E.
Only been once whilst staying at a near by hotel. Loved it, great decor, great food and great customer service 👍
Can't wait to go again, when next visiting the area.
C. G.
Used to go drinking in this pub when I first moved to Birmingham and lived nearby. These days, I use it more for a nice Sunday lunch but always enjoy going back here. Big hidden beer garden round the back which is good in summer.

Very nice place for a relaxed evening drink or lunch.
The décor gives it a homely and chilled atmosphere and most importantly the staff are very friendly.
Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Well located, nice garden, varied menu However the sharing platter was awful - do not recommend that. Good atmosphere though.
