A truly breathtaking cathedral. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with its three spires creating a unique silhouette against the sky. The stone carvings and intricate details on the façade are remarkable, each statue and ornament telling its own story. Inside, the stained glass windows glow with vibrant colors, filling the space with a quiet, almost sacred light. The vaulted ceilings and fine woodwork show an incredible level of craftsmanship. It’s not just a place of worship, but also a masterpiece of art and history,worth taking time to explore slowly.

Today I finally did the tower and roof tour. It was amazing and the views from the tower are stunning. Got to see a lot of stuff you don't normally get to see too. The tour guides George and Alan were very knowledgeable and I learnt a lot of new stuff about the cathedral and Lichfield in general. Well worth the £18 as the tour was nearly 2 hours. Made my day and now when I look up on future visits I can say "I've been up there" 😁

Lichfield Cathedral is a very beautiful, serene place to visit. The architecture is magnificent & the stained glass windows are truly amazing. It is steeped in history that spans hundreds of years. It is free to enter but they do encourage a donation of your choosing if you so wish to do so. There is also a small gift shop. I would recommend visiting this place & have been a few times myself.

Lichfield Cathedral truly is a hidden gem. Although it’s only a short drive from the M6 motorway, it’s like stepping back in time. The cathedral itself has a grandeur to it which is unlike many other, smaller, more modern cathedrals. The outside of the cathedral is beautifully designed, in proportion, and well appointed with a variety of statues. The West door is huge and impressive with a variety of ornate Victorian carvings outside. Once you enter the cathedral, the visitors’ desk is staffed by polite and helpful members of staff who will guide you around the cathedral. The ceiling of the nave is particularly impressive and the grand arches are second to none in the UK. The stained glass throughout the cathedral is particularly impressive. However, when you get to the far east end of the cathedral, you will see the Herkenrode glass which is unlike anything you will see in any other cathedral in the UK. There were several treasures contained within the chapter house, such as the Saint Chad Gospel which make this cathedral a real pleasure to walk around and visit. There is parking nearby in Bird Street car park and the public toilets are easily accessed. The Minster Pool next door is also worth a visit to feed the ducks. Although Lichfield is not on the usual tourist trail, it is worth a detour. I can’t recommend this cathedral strongly enough.

A very good cathedral for visiting with family and friends. You will enjoy the outside area as well Inner sanctuary. Very well maintained. We visited during the time when there was a showcase of wild life photographers photo’s.

Such a beautiful peaceful place of worship. I am not a Christian but felt so welcome by all patrons I came across. I was astounded by the amount of colonial history from the empire, from flags, priests, infantry.

Great historical centre piece of the city of Lichfeild. Well worth a visit to take in the sights from above on the walking tour around the top. They also host a number of concerts or music events.

Informative and interesting museum over four floors of a period townhouse. There's a short video explaining Johnson's place in British history and a copy of his groundbreaking dictionary on display. Engaging and helpful staff make for a worthwhile visit that fits comfortably under forty minutes.

The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum is a delightful gem in Lichfield. Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time, offering a charming glimpse into the life of one of England's greatest literary figures. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting—a must-visit for any history or literature enthusiast! Plus, the entry is for free 🆓

Really appreciated the "Johnson in his century" exhibit on the second floor — it's a simple thing but this type of formatting is just so effective in contextualising history (which can too easily be a muddle of names and dates). Also had fun using the ink blotter on the first floor and flipping through the dictionary facsimile on the top floor. I was pleasantly surprised to find that entry is free (given that it is a smaller museum far away from the London belt) and hope people donate generously. I came away with a greater interest in the man behind the first definitive English-language dictionary and would happily visit again. In the meantime, I'm off to visit its London counterpart, 17 Gough Square (and Hodge the Cat)!

Had an excellent time learning more about Samuel Johnson and the staff member was very knowledgeable about Johnson and Lichfield in general, so I sound up walking away with plenty of ideas for other stops while visiting Lichfield. The museum looks small but packs many exhibits and artifacts from Johnson's life and times across five floors. Free to enter and there's a bookshop on the ground floor, so do consider visiting and maybe bringing home a book (or at least a bookmark) to support the museum.

A fascinating man of singular wit, worthy of visiting and learning more about him. Museum is in an old building on several floors, donations are welcome as it's free to enter. Currently they want you to pre book online during covid, which was easy to do.

A very interesting and free place to visit, I really appreciated the remarkably friendly gentleman who was happy to share information about almost everything related to Lichfield and Dr. Johnson. Lovely second-hand bookshop too.

Interesting little museum in the centre of Lichfield, friendly staff and lots of good information on Samuel Johnson, plus an original copy of his dictionary, free to enter but you need to book a slot.

Located across the green from the West Front of Lichfield Cathedral this small but perfectly formed museum tells the history of polymath Erasmus Darwin. Information boards, period costumes for younger visitors and many interactive exhibits bring his life and work alive. The courtyard garden is a hidden gem.

Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin's grandfather, was a naturalist who developed one of the first formal theories of evolution. His work included ideas about how life evolved from a single ancestor, and how competition and sexual selection could cause species to change.

Hi I was booked to chauffeur newly married. Events were took place here really nice. Highly recommend only Sunday the close museum for event.

This is a fascinating museum that tells the story of Erasmus Darwin and the Lunar Society of scientists and inventors. The museum is well presented, with video and audio clips as well as hands-on models to demonstrate the inventions. Outside, there is an apothecary’s garden with medicinal herbs.

Absolute gem of a place near Lichfield Cathedral. Lovely garden which I imagine looks stunning later in the year. Fascinating story and really helpful volunteers

Interesting museum in Darwin’s house. Lots of surprising facts and interactive exhibits, so interesting for all the family. Pretty garden to walk through with all the medicinal plants that would have been important. Wonderful views of the Cathedral from the windows. Worth a visit, friendly staff.

Definitely a nice attraction in lichfield. They are celebrating Dr. Darvin' s birthday with actual settings.. and staff is friendly. On Darwin's birthday the entrance is free..but we can donate. Normal days museum entrance has a small fee..but garden has free entrance. Had a nice experience in there.

This was my first visit to Lichfield Garrick Theatre. The show we watched was near capacity, but the bar area still had some seating available. Prices for drinks and refreshments were high, like a cinema, but that's expected. The views are really good, it's not a massive venue, so you're not too far away from the stage. The seats are a squeeze if over 6foot, but again expected. A great venue, easily accessible so would recommend a visit.

Watched Re-Take That. The best concert I have seen in a long time: The three boys were great sound alikes, but the star of the show was Robbie, who not only sounded like the original but could have been Robbie's twin and copied the same mannerisms - He was wonderful !!

My wife and I had not been to the theatre in quite some time. We thought it would be nice to go again and so we went to see The Lion in Winter at the Garrick. We had a fantastic time, the performance was excellent. The Garrick is really well situated with parking very close by. The facilities were excellent and the staff very friendly. We will be going again to see something else hopefully quite soon.

Family trip to the Lichfield Garrick Panto, front row seating and what a magical experience, the cast were amazing and the set look fantastic, great special effects and a wonderful experience had by all the family. Children were able to interact with the performance and the performers at times which made it extra special. If you get a chance this Charity run Theatre do amazing productions so get a ticket and enjoy the entertainment. Tickets available now for Cinderella in 2025 we are already booked back in and can’t wait to enjoy next years entertainment

I recently saw Rock of Ages at this venue and had an incredible experience. The atmosphere was electric, the acoustics were spot-on, and the staff were welcoming and well-organized. The seating offered great views, and the lighting and sound design really brought the performance to life. It was the perfect setting for such a high-energy show. Would definitely return for another night of entertainment! Location just by the edge of high street with plenty parking spaces just minutes away.

A lovely little local theatre. Very clean and well maintained, comfortable seating and plenty of parking within a two minute walk that was reasonably priced. I particularly liked the lounge/bar area that created a comfortable setting whilst waiting for the show to start. Great variety of shows suitable for all ages and genres, whether you're looking for children's shows, comedy, music or drama. Reasonable prices too, would encourage people to go support this wonderful place to keep the arts alive within this local community.

What a gem! Great staff, great venue, and really varied range of ships, definitely worth a visit

Very nice experience which started with the receptionist, continued with the bar staff. our room was very nice with AC. The bar has a good range of drinks and a reasonable food menu. We choose a veggie pizza, cooked nicely and delivered to our table outside. asked if we liked food, we confirmed we were certainly enjoying it. Recommend you try this hotel.

We had a 1 night stay here. The Hotel is very well situated right in the heart of Lichfield centre. Very comfortable room and bed very comfy. Room a little small but perfectly adequate. The restaraunt is pleasant and the buffet breakfast is delicious and offers a really good wide choice. Lovely lounge to sit in for morning coffee or afternoon tea. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff helpful and friendly and we would certainly return again.

The hotel is old, and you can both see and feel it. I had a room on the second floor, which wasn't very convenient since there's no elevator. The room was clean but outdated. The bed was too small, hard, and you could feel the springs poking into your body. A nice added bonus was that the garbage containers were emptied at 5:45 in the morning. They were located right under my window, in the passageway to the parking lot. So I didn’t need an alarm clock.😂

Location would be 5 star but for the nightclub opposite pumping out the music until 3am on weekends. In the week though very quiet and very central. Stay here in preference to the sister hotel the cathedral. Good breakfast for 14.50

This is the third time we have used the George for big celebrations. We used it for a wedding, my 60th birthday and a few days ago our own wedding. The George team from start to finish both behind the scenes and front of house were excellent, friendly, helpful, nothing was to much trouble. Can’t remember to many names, obvious reasons, but on the day I do remember Simon and Chris being great. Nothing was to much trouble, anything to make our day go smoothly. The in house DJ was also excellent talking us through the evenings entertainment before hand. We visit the George a lot even if it is a bar meal and drink whilst shopping. We have always had great service. The room we had was spacious and the shower was great, really powerful. So once again The George team from the the wedding planners, bar staff, waiters, kitchen team and everybody else who touched our day even in a small way Thankyou so much for making our day truely memorable. Oh and by the way there were some previous reviews which stated the hotel was inconvenient as it had no lift. I can assure you it has. We used it numerous times moving our wedding stuff downstairs.

Great hotel smack bang in the centre of town. Park the car on the hotel car park and enjoy your stay. Staff, food, rooms, bar everything is great. Thank you amy for sorting me a room with a bath. Also dog friendly hotel 5 star rated!

Location was ideal for our stay, situated right in the town so great acces to bars and restaurants - all within walking distance. Rooms were clean and spacious but unfortunately absolutely RED HOT! Window only able to open a small amount and Air conditioning unit pumped out hot air, the fan didnt help either just circulated the warm air. Beds were comfortable but lacked sleep due to extortionate temperatures 😔

Lovely venue, amazing ale selection with a good range of other drinks. Own ale is brewed here and .you can have Brewery experiences. They also serve food, which we didn't have, but my goodness it looked amazing! Totally dog friendly in all areas, treats readily available for the pooch. Lovely little beer garden and there are plenty of ceiling fans, which in 30 degree hear was greatly appreciated. Up to 6pm at night Real ale is only £3.50 a pint, and absolute bargain, especially as the ale is really high quality. I would highly recommend the Brewhouse and will to again very soon!

We visited this pub twice on the same day !! First time was for a swift drink before going for a meal. Took advantage of the offer of £3.50 for one of their own brewed pints of bitter. Second time we visited we had a tasting flight of their own brewed ales. Great ales both times. Great choice of beers (not just their own) and friendly obliging staff. Child-friendly and does food - what's not to like. Definitely recommend.

Do not recommend. Chicken was severely under cooked for over 10 people in our group after waiting over an hour from sitting. The only reason I’m giving it higher stars is due to the service we received from the male server on today. Was so apologetic and refunded all of the main meals from the group. Couldn’t fault him

Booked a work space for me and my colleague here, staff were attentive and will in particular was lovely, kept us fed and topped up with drinks. I will definitely book this space again and I’ve recommended it to my colleagues. ☺️

Fish and chips for two, £17 each. small, dried-up, curly thin fish; mostly batter. Not worth the money. Drinks were fine. Nice place. Burgers looked nice. Live and learn.

First time here today and I was absolutely impressed with the food and atmosphere. I had a 1/2 Chicken Sunday Roast, the chicken was juicy and everything else was fresh. One of my friends had the Fish and Chips and that dish was really nice as well. A really big portion, definitely worth the money. Sydney the waitress is such a lovely and patient staff member.

We went here for the Sunday lunch and whilst the service was good enough the food was quite lacklustre. The roast beef was overcooked and the few vegetables on the plate were considerably undercooked. The size and quality of the dinner for the price is simply not worth it. There are places that offer better roasts for a similar price nearby.

Wow. We treated my dad for a meal here for his 70th birthday and it did not disappoint. The welcome, the atmosphere, the menu, the food, the wine everything was exceptional. Lucy and Jack were so great and personable that you instantly felt comfortable but equally very special. I've been lucky enough to visit a couple Michelin starred restaurants but none of them compare to Dubberly Delicious. This was my first time visiting Dubberly Delicious and I've already got two more visits planned and already excited for my next visit and what else is on the menu. Thank you Jack and Lucy. You were so wonderful, attentive and kind. I can't wait to come back very soon.

I am so often disappointed when I go out for Sunday lunch. Mediocre meat and sub standard roast potatoes seem to be the norm. The standard of food is often well below what can be prepared at home. Dubberly Delicious is definitely different. It costs a little more than your average pub but the food is phenomenal and well worth the extra.

I booked this fine dining restaurant for my husband's 60th birthday meal and we weren't disappointed. Contact with Lucy and Jack in sorting out the menu and arrangements were spot on,they couldn't have been more helpful. I am gluten free and this was not a problem at all. We chose the 6 course tasting menu which was amazing. We'd never done private fine dining before, we have visited a number of top rated restaurants in London prior to this but the intimate dining experience and exquisite food out shone all of these. The restaurant had amazing interior and having the place to ourselves was wonderful. I don't know if I want to eat with anyone else now!. We had the most wonderful Guinness bread and I had a tomato GF bread. Local Asparagus with Yuzu, Monkfish,Lamb, Wagu beef. Also alternatives for fish were a tasty curried cauliflower and a strawberry dessert to finish with homemade chocolate and petit fours. Full menu on my photo. Food was fantastic, excellent service and a wonderful all round experience. We will be back. I can't recommend the very talented Jack and his food enough and lovely Lucy who served us. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Amazing. Jack and Lucy have made Dubberley Delicious private dining an experience not to be missed. Eight course fine dining menu tailored to our tastes, all prepared and cooked fresh in the kitchen next to your table. Nothing is rushed, we were there for about 3 hours, each course being explained with extra insight given into the preparation. Seasonal menu that prides itself on using local and British produce, even the Wagyu is from Welsh Wagyu cattle. Private dining isn't cheap, we paid a little over £135 each including drinks. Already checking our dairy to see when we can go again.

What a great time this was! Given as a gift, my wife and I had a fabulous five course private dining experience. We drove an hour and a half to attend this today and it was totally worth it, in fact I'll be looking to book it again myself this time. Jack is a great chef, passionate about what he does and fully recommend you talk to him about it, during your experience. Great food and great dining experience with a quality chef.

What can I say, one of the best experiences ever! We've previously dined at the holy trinity of Lichfield fine dining establishments and Michelin starred establishments around the world but stumbled over DD when we saw its amazing Trip Advisor reviews. It is in a different class, the experience of creating your menu with Jack and then the private dining experience is truly in a league above anything else we have experienced. Just joyful from start to finish, could not recommend enough.

My husband and I visited Dubberley Delicious for our anniversary! Wow Wow WOW! It was amazing!!!! The setting is so cosy, quirky and romantic. Jack was amazing, the food was so so delicious, we didn't want the courses to end. Honestly, one of the best places we've been to eat! Would definitely highly recommend it and definitely will be going back! From booking to planning and attending, it was an amazing journey and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Jack and hope to see you again sometime very soon 😊

Haven't been to Lichfield for ages, spotted this place on the way from the carpark. They were advertising a lunch menu at a good price, me and my wife had a walk around and went back at lunchtime. So pleased we did, the food and the service were both excellent!

Love the food and great service

Food is consistently delicious and comes out quickly. The staff are lovely and friendly. One of our go-to places. Highly recommend.

Wow, what a wonderful place, with wonderful food and service. Nicely kept. Can’t wait to return. This place is good.

Food is great and atmosphere is very nice. Their service is also very good!

I came here with my wife for an anniversary meal. We like going and visiting as many Thai restaurants as possible, but this one was recommended to us by friends at. Service was really nice and we were welcomed when we walked in. Restaurant was clean but busy which is always a good sign. Food did not take too long to come but when it arrived it was hot and you could tell it was freshly cooked. Everything we ate was delicious and would happily recommend and come back to Thai Rainbow.

Took my wife out to dinner here. The staff were polite and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The food was well prepared, beautifully presented, it we both enjoyed the meal. Overall, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere meant we could enjoy each others company and the food. I highly recommend the Thai Rainbow.

So it’s taken a while to get a table, was it worth the wait? To be honest we had forgotten we had booked. Too many drinks on New Year’s Eve had resulted in this lunchtime treat. It was so so good. From the opening snacks to the Banana man dessert there was no disappointment. The service was impeccable and you could see why the restaurant had earned its Michelin star.

We waited 12 months for our table. It was worth the wait. We had the 7 course tasting menu. The food and ambience were fantastic. The bread was outstanding. The waiting staff were great. They explain every course to you as they arrive. Our table was next to the kitchen so we could watch as our food was prepared. We would love to go again.

We waited over a year for this evening and it was definitely worth it! The service was impressive, from the moment we entered to the moment we left. Flo and Ky, in particular, we're an absolute delight and made our experience so much more fun! They're a credit to the team! The food itself was exceptional and every dish (as part of the contemporary tasting menu) was packed full of flavour and exquisitely put together! It was great to try new ingredients and flavours. We opted to try Tom's infamous 'No Ordinary Schoolboy' dessert too, that he created for the Great British Menu, inspired by the Bananaman cartoon. It was as fun and delicious as we'd expected it to be! The dining area was relaxed yet classy, and it was lovely to be able to see Tom and his staff at work in the open plan kitchen. We were hosted beautifully with no pressure for us to leave. We'd highly recommend you try this restaurant, we will definitely be back again.

We had the most fabulous night, the service was faultless and the food was sublime. Each course was culinary artistry. It is obviously expensive, but it was an experience we will not forget. Tom runs such a team, all of the staff were very knowledgeable about what we were eating and seemed to enjoy their job. Meeting Tom at the end of the night was a big bonus. ( And a lovely young man,Ronnie, that I taught 27 years ago) Thank you everyone for a fabulous night.

Visited with my wife last Saturday evening. We booked this over a year ago so we have been looking forward to this for a while and had high expectations! However they were exceeded in every way. Potentially the best food I've ever eaten in my entire life - The service was outstanding from the minute we walked in until the minute we left. Great to see Tom Shepherd working hard at the pass as well! We will definitely be back.

Although a late review, it’s certainly a glowing one! I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Upstairs by Tom Shepherd in Lichfield to celebrate my 22nd birthday, and I can honestly say it was flawless from start to finish. We had the tasting menu, and every single course was an absolute masterpiece — beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and bursting with incredible flavours. Each dish felt like its own little celebration, and you could really see (and taste) the passion and creativity behind every element. It is certainly on the expensive side, but that’s to be expected from a Michelin-starred restaurant of this calibre. And honestly, it was worth every penny. I would highly recommend treating yourself at some point, you will have absolutely no regrets. A truly unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait to return in the future for another special occasion!

Absolutely fantastic dining experience. Can’t fault a things. Food was insanely fabulous. The flavours, the textures - so much thought gone into everything - every mouthful was a taste explosion. Got to meet the lovely Chef Tom Shepherd himself - so lovely and welcoming. Throughly recommend xx
