Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Lichfield

A lovely restaurant with great service. We shared mussels to start and these were great. Just a tiny bit too salty but not so much to ruin them The main course was superb. We both had half a lobster which is priced per weight and not cheap but well worth it. Absolutely fantastic. We will be back

Finally a place nearby that does nice lobster at a very reasonably price!! We were looked after this evening by Lucas who was extremely welcoming! We want to thank the chef and Lucas for our meal and time here tonight! 100% recommend this place; it’s a very nice and relaxed atmosphere with really good quality food. Thank you all!

Over promised, didn’t deliver at all. 30 min wait for starters - terrine inedible as too salty. Waited another 40 mins for Main courses - thick chewy ravioli which was like eating rubber. Shirt rib of beef was burnt and delivered in a sea of butternut squash puree - like a slop. Couldn’t eat it. Side plate of a few soggy veg for £5.50! Offered free desserts after we complained - tasteless cheesecake which was hard, banoffee pie which you couldn’t get your spoon through. Manager removed terrine from the bill and took 20% off but strictly speaking we shouldn’t have had to pay even the 80% for the ‘food’ we were served. Lovely decor, nice waiting staff but the kitchen is awful. Loud banging music too which isn’t conducive to chatting over a meal. Fur coat no knickers - don’t waste your time and money.

We had our wedding reception here one year ago today and decided to celebrate our 1st year Anniversary here. Couldn't fault it at all!!! Excellent food & service ... really impressed. Haven't eaten here since it's been renovated. It was lovely before renovation but now it's stunning ❤️ The minute we walked in the girl who works there wished us Happy Anniversary which was so nice. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!!

Food was quite good, albeit small portions. Staff were attentive but rushed off their feet. We had to wait almost an hour for starters and same again for main. The we're far too many covers for the staff and kitchen to cope with efficiently. Two mains were delivered cold and we were informed that our third main was delivered to another table ?! Another 20 minutes before our final main We were offered compensation, which was accepted, however we will not be returning nor recommend.

Visited for the first time on Saturday 6th September, it's a very lovely place, we had the Tipsy lunch which was excellent value for money, food was very good and the Cocktails were fantastic. We were served by Summer who was the most pleasant young lady whilst being attentive and efficient, she is an asset to your company. The reason for the 1 star taken off is for the Atmosphere, the music is far too loud, music is meant to be in the background unless you are at a disco or club but you couldn't talk properly and it wasn't relaxing which was a shame as everything else was excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Booked here last minute during our trip to Lichfield. Lovely, welcoming environment. Staff friendly and helpful with food choices. Food was amazing!

Great pub and great entertainment. We had Fish & Chips and Steak & Guinness Pie, mash and peas, which were divine. The entertainment (Ant Hill Mob) came on at 9 pm and did not finish till 12 midnight: They were absolutely fantastic !! All the while, the bar staff worked tirelessly and were very polite. Memorabilia was plastered all over the pub, which made interesting viewing

Excellent Pub - excellent food. We had 2 Sunday lunches, 3 drinks and a dessert - a great sample size. Portions were generous, food was very good and the service was great too. Great setting and we will be back!

Genuinely so disappointed in the whole experience. Would strongly advise that bands don’t play here. Spent the whole night watching the band get poorly treated and disrespected by the management. I get they’re being paid but they’re absolutely not being paid enough to be talked to like crap and demanded to play more (extra 30 minutes on their set) to just end up being treated like karaoke which seems to be a running theme here... Loved watching the band but not a fan of the staff. Plus we waited 10+ minutes to be served while watching the staff avoid us and serving their “regulars” instead.

Absolutely fantastic music venue. Food is awesome. Staff are brilliant. Well done to Mike and Tracy . And all the hard working staff .. Brilliant. From Ian Rip It Up, drummer.

Visited on Friday evening, what a great night. The service was great, a good selection of beers at reasonable prices. Had something to eat. There was a band on called 'Sight & Sound' one of the best pub band I've ever heard. If your ever in the area we'll worth a visit. Such a shame I live 70 miles away or I could have it as my local 👏🏼👏🏼.

Gem of a pub ! Value for money August Lunchtime We just wish that all pubs were like this. Brilliant food amazing service and a genuine warmth about the staff who actually care about providing a great experience. We couldn’t believe the size of the Burger !! The food was fresh and very tasty and the homemade chips were delicious! The Eton Mess Belgium waffle was to die for !! In short we wholeheartedly recommend the Feathers and will definitely return

Always a lovely welcome. Surely The Feathers Inn has the widest choice of beers and ales in Lichfield. It certainly has the longest bar. Good, honest, well priced food too. Great live music venue to boot.

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.

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

The staff were incredible. Funny, welcoming, polite, helpful...the list goes on. They really are a massive asset to the business. The food was tremendous. Lovely presentation and fantastic flavours. The venue itself is tastefully decorated and has a really nice feel to it. I'd happily recommend The Quill and Scholar to anyone. We will definitely be back.

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff who interacted really well with my child, making our visit much smoother. Fantastic kids menu and the ice cream is made extra special with a huge choice of toppings for an extra £2. Adults menu is great too, got to try at least one soufflé, you’ll find three on the menu. Great food, service and atmosphere. Will be back again soon.

The plates were fresh and colourful and the flavours were bold and earthy. You could tell everything had been prepared with care as each component of the dish had the texture and flavour spot on. The mushrooms had a nice bite, the sauce was creamy and the gnocchi was crunchy and delicious -- the garnish further elevated the flavour. I also tried some of my partners dish which had a strong, savoury flavour very in tune with traditional British Cuisine and I tried a bit of the horseradish iced cream from my partner's mother's terrine which had a sharp but creamy and refreshing flavour. The bread came with a slightly sweet balsamic and oil for vegans and it matched the crunch of the bread perfectly. The olives were really high quality and had a perfect flavour (I forgot to photograph these prior to eating them) all and all the ambience of the restaurant was lovely and felt very upscale like it'd be ideal for a special occasion. What you get is worth exactly what you pay for it as the portions are perfect and don't leave you feeling hungry afterwards, it's truly worth a visit.

Table of 4. Food was nice and well presented. My soup starter had skin on it which meant it had sat sat a while, but was still tasty. The crab n sweetcorn bites were nice. Pie (had a shop brought feel too it?) was tasty with tender meat, and onion gravy was nice. The Fish was moist n tasty. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. The restaurant itself lacked a little ambulance.

I had very high expectations for this place but took my mother there for a bit of lunch today and was very unimpressed. I ordered the grilled steak and chips and my mother ordered the haddock , I then got told that they had no steak (understandable if they have had a busy weekend) So I ordered the steak and ale pie . The pie was dry and had no taste at all , the gravy that came with said pie was more like brown water rather than a gravy and the haddock was equally underwhelming. Safe to say would not return, There are Much nicer places to eat in Lichfield

This venue is excellent for dinner. The evening was relaxed, and the servers were friendly and attentive. The quality of the food was high, and the portion sizes were appropriate. The ambience is that of a laid-back dining establishment. Given the high quality of our meal, we felt the prices were very competitive.

First time visited and we've been stunned about the place ! Exceptional service, excellent food and great atmosphere. We would highly recommend it and would definitely return ! Thank you

Food was very tasty, service was good. We enjoyed the whole experience. Good choice if visiting Lichfield

Very average so called mexican food quite overpriced too. The tex mex which had a burrito, quesadillas and a taco looked very poor, no taste whatsoever in any of them nor the fries. The biria beef to start with it’s nothing like you expect, it was literally dry pulled beef, no sauce, no flavour, and nothing else in a taco but meat? No veggies no sauce? Very bizarre, chicken quesadillas was the most alright but again lacked of flavour or inspiration. The burrito, with same issues. All the food extremely dry. No salt & pepper on the table ? Service was lovely tho, however adding a 10% service on a £30 bill is a bit excessive too. Quite a disappointing place considering Lichfield has too many good places that offer better alternatives. Will certainly not return & nor recommend

Very disappointing, whilst the live music was good then food was very disappointing. The tex mex (£24) was flavourles and uninspired. The other other main courses were unimpressive and equally mediocre. Cannot recommend, avoid.

Visited for our anniversary meal and had a great time. Service was brilliant Food was delicious and atmosphere was great! Can’t wait to come back

Ordered from uber and what came was terrible. Burger not as advertised and very salty, onion rings were not cooked and we were missing loaded fries. Won’t be ordering again because it wasn’t edible. It went in the bin.

Friends up from London and tried here for the first time. Not disappointed on any aspect. Service from Georgie was superb warm friendly but still professional. We all thoroughly enjoyed our choices chicken nachos, beef quesedillas great taste and portions. Rose wine served ice cold. Perfect. We will definitely return and highly recommend

Wow amazing the food and service for 10/10 great value and some of the best food I have had out in the last year.

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 😊

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 😔

Lizzy & Fatima were absolutely lovely. Very friendly and polite & Great table service. We aren’t from this area and popped in for lunch. The branch was super clean and good open space to have family lunch. Great prices, piping hot food and a speedy service. Would give 10 stars if I could. Phenomenal customer service, will defiantly be visiting again when in town :).

very lovely service and food was fresh and warm xx

I was served by Fatimah and I really enjoyed my experience here. She was very efficient and made sure my order was correct. Allowing me to enjoy my food. Will be coming back in the future!

Dana is very welcoming and the shop is clean. There are very few people too... Only Love Spicy Chicken Wings does not take no for an answer!

Great service, lovely people definitely recommend lichfeild Kfc.

I had an amazing experience with Fatimah. She greeted me with such a lovely tone and made sure my order was perfect. She treated me with such care and consideration, thank you Fatimah for making my experience lovely.

KFC food is really great, never had any complaints everything comes out perfect. Food comes out fast each time. Menu items are good prices as well.

Great food, Really tasty, served hot and fresh. Only complaint was the amount of peppercorn sauce you're given for £2.50, it was pretty insulting tbh 😂 We had to ask for extra. They did give us 3 ti.es as much in the extra portion for no charge though. Great friendly Service. We don't live locally so it was a nice treat before a concert at Lichfield Cathedral.

We attended here to celebrate two of my family members birthdays, we were greeted and seated quickly which was nice, drinks were asked for quickly and that's where it kind of went down hill really. The food service was extremely slow in-between starters and mains, so much so the waitress had to apologise after we were asked for more drinks and still hadn't been served our food. The appetizers were lovely! I had a harrissa chicken and my partner had the hummus with pitta bread, both delicious and perfect size for a starter. There was then, over 1 hours time until the mains came out. We are a table of 6 and ordered the food all together so not exactly a huge party unexpected on a Friday night. When the food did come out, 4 of us had ordered the Duo pork and they were all presented differently, some were cut, some were whole, and one came out the size of a kids portion. We then had to ask for a gent to come over and see the differences, and in fairness he was great, he completely agreed, it wasn't spotted by 2 chefs and within 2 minutes had a fresh plate out for us. My veggie partner did say there was plenty of vegetarian options and the goat cheese pizza was really nice, but soggy on the base and would advise it needs cooking more. Unfortunately as beautiful as the pork was, it was like it was sat under a lamp for 15 minutes because 2 were warm, the potatoes were the hottest part of the dish. Drinks wise, my friend had a passion fruit martini, the first one I'd ever seen without an actual passion fruit in it and said it was weak. My long island ice tea was also weak. Overall, was a lax meal, we felt it was quite overpriced for what we received and the timings in the kitchen and the service of food was not up to par.

A happy place. The Management at this restaurant clearly understands that happy staff means happy customers. Not all Ego's are the same. Usual lovely food, served hot typically a one hour visit for your two course meal. Some disappointing portion control when I would rather just pay a bit more. A mean side of scallops and only half a bread roll with my soup...

What a pleasure to be served in a restaurant where the staff are clearly very happy, totally competent and work together as an efficient team. The food is of a high standard but the stand out here is the cooperative team work. Ego can be proud of management, kitchen, bar and front of house. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing evening at Ego! Everything was perfect – from the warm and attentive service to the quality and flavour of the food and the lovely atmosphere. Even though it was a busy weekend night, the management did a fantastic job keeping everything running smoothly and making sure every part of the restaurant was well looked after. A special shout-out to Izzy – she was so sweet and friendly, and we were absolutely delighted with her service. She really made our night!

Amazing food the paella is very filling along with the prawn starters, Emily is an excellent server very friendly, and great service. Making sure we were settled, always had drinks and the food standards were great. Will definitely return.

“Excellent food, drink, and service! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening and for making my birthday meal so special. The staff have been absolutely superb, special thanks to Emily, Anneka, Vika, Nicola, and Natalie for looking after us so well.”

Visited on a recent business trip. The food was good, the starter especially so. However, there is a really odd smell at the front of the restaurant, totally put me off. Door was open to somewhere out back, not good. The restaurant itself is a bit tired in places. They really need to get to grips with the ambience...

For me, who can’t eat very hot food, a fire very delicious solution, with traditional spices

Just had a super experience here. First time in Lichfield and walked on spec. Great welcome, super food and a lovely ambiance. Well worth a visit.

Are here this evening (25.9.25), as always amazing service, friendly service with a smile and beautiful tasty food.

Excellent service and food! Whilst the restaurant was busy, this did not impact on great, friendly customer service. Serves alcohol also as many curry houses you do bring your own.

amazing food, extremely authentic and a large range of food on the menu, I loved the korma and onion bhaji, the staff were lovely as well. Although the place was packed and somewhat hard to move around, the service didn't suffer at all, our food came out so quickly and we couldn't get enough of it .

I've used Lal Bagh means white tiger by the way, for 4 years now. They deliver to me in Handsacre, sometimes i collect. The food is absolutely gorgeous love my Lamb Rogan Josh vindaloo hot, lots of big chunks of lamb amazing. Very hot n spicy. Keema pilau rice is the best. There's alot of flavours going on at lal bagh. They give plentiful and quality this is why i return everytime. Even my work friends have switched to lal bagh. Love you guys keep up the good work.

We had the Korma & Aloo Gobi - food and service was excellent. We got in early so not much atmosphere at that time, but we’ve eaten there several times and each time exceeded expectations. Well done EE!

For my first time visiting the UK from the US, I wanted to try great Indian food in England. This was perfect. The dishes were impeccably flavored and made with fresh ingredients. The chicken tikka masala, in particular, was unforgettable. I highly recommend eating here.

Staff are lovely however i personaly don't like it when the staff are constantly walking past whilst I'm eating i understand if its busy but it wasn't. The food was definitely not worth the money we paid £20 for a box standard curry without any extras is very pricey. Lesson learnt but we aren't all the same everyones standards are different.

I visited a few weeks ago with my mum and daughter. The best onion bhajis we have ever had. The lady serving us was lovely and food in general was really good and we didn't have to wait long between courses. Good vegan options

Very friendly and polite staff. Food is excellent. Been a few times and it's not local to where we live.

Always been a pleasant experience here. Staff are all friendly & chatty, food is AMAZING. Nice atmosphere. My go to Indian eatery. Keep up the good work guys & gals!

We ordered a take away from here tonight and it was one of the best curry’s we’ve EVER had. We have eaten all over the world, Birmingham too, you name it - but our first time ordering here we were extremely impressed with the amount of chicken in the curry’s, the taste of the sauces and depth of flavours. The pineapple chilli rice was particularly new and different too. We ordered a pathia and a chicken saag, with a pashwari naan - unbelievable taste!!! We’ll be back and with friends!

Beautiful meal, lovely surroundings, and even better service, by the charming Michelle. She was so lovely and attentive. Food was great! Lamb shank shepherd's pie finished off with sticky toffee pudding. 🔥

The welcome and service that we received at this lovely old pub (a family favourite that we've been visiting for a long time) was the warmest and friendliest I can imagine anywhere. The staff were fabulous and really made our experience memorable. It's rare to come across service like this and I really wanted to show appreciation and thanks to the hard working staff. The food was generally good - especially desserts, and reasonably priced, with a couple of missteps (a very dry toad in the hole), and despite a few things on the menu being unavailable the staff were apologetic and did their best to suggest alternative options. We will continue to visit this atmospheric, rural pub for family meals and get togethers, and very much look forward to being looked after by the marvellous staff again. A particular thank you to Michelle (unfortunately we didn't get the names of the two gentlemen who were serving, but they were excellent too). Michelle was the perfect hostess and went above and beyond, she seemed very genuine and nothing was too much trouble. Exceptional service and welcome. Thanks again!

I recently visited with my sister in law and i must say it was a lovely visit. We had different dishes, and both were delicious and presented beautifully! Ample parking and located in a lovely area. Atmosphere was perfect and i want to give the waitresses a shout out too! - Michelle and Harriet were amazing and very attentive to everything we needed and were both super friendly and smiley. Highly reccomended - will be visiting here again for sure!

Our first visit to the holly bush and it was superb. We booked the table to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The decorated lovely inside and great atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was perfect. Cannot fault it in any way We will be returning for sure

Meal with friends last night. Pub was quite empty which is the only reason not five star atmosphere but was warm and welcoming. Menu would have benefitted from some additional choices but what we all had, we all said was tasty and enjoyable. What made the night, was the genuine friendly attentive service from Michelle (aka Penny), she was lovely, possibly the best service we have had in a long time. Will be back.

Just eaten at The Holly Bush Lichfield. We had a 2 mains for £20 voucher from Chef and Brewer and a last minute decision to have lunch at this pub. I booked for 2pm and arrived about 1.50 pm. We were greeted by a very friendly young lady named Michelle who said we were booked for table 7 but there was another table we could have that was a bit less crowded. She showed us to our table, asked if we were ready to order drinks, but as we were not she said she would be back in a couple of minutes. When she came back she took our orders for both drinks and meals. My wife decided on the fishcake while I had the pork belly draft. She asked how I wanted it cooked as sometimes it can be a bit fatty and suggested medium to well done as it would be a bit crisper. Fine I said, but I am suing you if it breaks my teeth jokingly and she laughed and said it will be fine and I'll make sure the chef does it well. Our meals were brought out to us and we devoured them lovingly. While enjoying our meal Michelle came back and asked if all was okay. I put my thumb up as I was enjoying a mouthful of pork. The meals were absolutely delicious and the service was second to none. The pub is a bit more expensive than our usual haunts but with a voucher it's well worth while and also a treat to have something different. I would recommend this pub for a treat occasionally (if you are on a limited income) otherwise use it on a regular basis, and if you happen to be served by a waitress named Michelle you will have an enjoyable visit. Thank you very much Michelle. PS Try their soda water with a dash of lime and ice. It's very different to the usual run of the mill and very refreshing.

Great meal at the Holly Bush. Michelle was friendly and easy to talk to and very welcoming. Lovely to be served by someone with a smile. The man who was serving as well was great too. Lovely food. Nice atmosphere. Large car park.

Excellent food and great service. Have a fantastic lunch catch up with one of my oldest childhood friends. It's a very popular place with couples and families.

We attended for my birthday with our 3 week old son on our first outing for dinner. Carly looked after us, she was super attentive and really made our experience super easy. The food was exceptional as it always is. The chef (Connor) also found out about my birthday and went above and beyond by sending us a cake out as a treat to help us celebrate my birthday. He even decorated around the plate and put a candle on. The staff really went above and beyond as they always do!

We’ve been here a few times now and the food is always great! We came for Valentine’s Day and we keep coming back 🤭 the staff can’t do enough for you they’re brilliant.

Absolutely stunning meal once again here. Treated superbly well by the lovely Kim - we keep coming back here for several reasons - the food (delish!!) the service (tonight the wonderful Kim) and the atmosphere (always chill, always super comfy) - having moved to the area only a year ago this has cemented itself as my absolute favourite place to come to!

Lovely meal. Enjoyed our meal and had good service from the team. Lovely ambiance on a sunny Saturday. Weirdly quiet for the time of day and being a Saturday? Possibly as a direct result in being quite expensive for the average punter? Mid-high range prices in my opinion may be a put off for some. This is only my opinion and this may be fully justified by the owners etc. Other than that we really enjoyed the chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly and service. Many thanks

Anna was amazing. Her insight to personal preference of the starters I was torn between made my experience much more enjoyable. She was charismatic, bubbly & welcoming. Would come again just must say the lamb was more on well done side of “rare” but still an amazing dish.

Fantastic food, Kim was amazing looked after us all, will definitely come back soon.

Fantastic customer service. Very good food. Beautiful decor, which you'd expect from a listed building. Hidden gem 💎

I would not reccomend this place for eating or drinking, we booked for bottomless from thier website which strongly had Mckenzies bottomless on there still? arrived told the bar person that we had a table booked, his colleague came over and seated us in a side table somewhere you would probably drink not eat. said again we have booked a table and the communication was lost? waited 15 mins manager came over nondrinks nothing and said your table is there which was behind us set up???? He presented a reserve card my name was spelled wrong etc but wmthr reserve card was an old florist card with someone's name on the back! we asked about drinks on the bottomless which had changed not to our knowledge there was no menu, he got his phone out and opened up whats app with the menu on and asked us to choose from that! The drinks menu had changed from the website to his WhatsApp and said cocktail are no longer included in the bottomless, we had a 90 minute slot 2 drinks in 50 mins and no food still, myself went up to complain which I don't normally do ever and a table behind had walked put due to not being served at all. 2 tables across from us was complaining, after 1 hour food turned up bu then you only have 30 mins to left? the owner saw what was happening with the service to be fair she tried to make it up to us, the owner came up and tried to rectify the situation, which we appreciated. Food cannot complain was Amazing when we eventually got it. not the best experience such a shame for a new business in Lichfield.

Sunday roast was really nice and the portion size was fantastic with cauliflower cheese and red cabbage included on the side along with extra veg and gravy! Would definitely recommend.

Very tasty food and excellent service! Staff were so friendly and attentive. Definitely, would return again!

This was the first time I'd ever been here. We were served all night by the manager, who was lovely and attentive. The food came at reasonable times and was absolutely delicious! Cannot fault them whatsoever and will definitely be returning! Thank you for a great evening

Really excellent food, brilliant service especially from Juan. Treated myself to a nice meal tonight, impromptu and was not disappointed to have chosen McKenzies. The staff was warm, the food was delicious and the service was spot on. Will be coming back again for sure. ❤️

We visited McKenzies in the city on 17th June 2022 for our 10 year wedding anniversary when we mentioned this to our excellent server we were given 2 complimentary glasses of prosecco which was very kind. The atmosphere here was great and beautifully decorated inside. The food was incredible and the staff were exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We would definitely recommend.

We were going past and thought we would pop in for a quick pint on our way home . Brilliant music playing in background .place is clean some nice quirky decor aswell also massive car park .garden is big and seem to have a bbq area so that will be interesting. Can't say anything bout food as stops at 6pm but will 100 percent be back to try the food and see the vibe in the day.dog friendly. Staff poilet and smiley which is a brilliant start 😀

One of the best meals I've ever had. Came in there for dinner and was blown away. The service was 10/10, waiters very kind and at your service, the food was exceptional and very reasonably priced. Cocktails were in a good deal, 2 for 14 and were very nice. The only issue Is I asked for bread and butter with the fish and chips and I got given 2 slices of toast but that was a minor inconvenience. Other than that I would totally recommend.

Lovely staff. The chicken tikka was great. The gammon was too greasy. Over all it was a great experience. The best feature for us is that dogs are allowed in the restaurant, which always gets a big thumbs up from us.

We dined with another couple on a Wednesday "curry night". The food was really good with authentic flavours. Excellent value for money. We had the 3 course option which included a traditional British style desert, as Asian food is not normally big on puddings. After our meal an Asian gentleman came to the table and asked us if we enjoyed our meal. We, of course said that we did. He explained he was the chef who prepared our meals. A very nice touch. Our friends were very impressed with the whole evening.

Absolutely love this place! We havnt had any food here but it all looks and smells delicious 😋 always pop in whilst my son is at football training, such a cosy, great pub! Dogs are welcome and they also have some treats on the bar. Staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Spur of the moment decision to visit here for late lunch, simply as we were passing on our way home. Lovely welcome from Ben, great range of drinks and food. Our meals were amazing, the spinach linguini was beautiful, and the halloumi burger was too. Chilli and garlic chicken as a starter and then biscoff cheesecake as a shared dessert. Wonderful food, great service and fabulous value. Shout out to the chef, who popped out to tell us how he'd cooked the linguini (honestly the best I've ever tasted). Lastly Ben was brilliant, personable and friendly, we will definitely be back

it was early Saturday morning so not very busy but we had great service polite and efficient good menu choice I personally had chicken skewers they were delicious would definitely use pub again

We all enjoyed a lovely brunch at Poms, the wild mushrooms on toast with poached eggs was great even though the ciabatta was very hard at the edges. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks looked great and tasted good. Service was good but with us being tucked away in the last little room we had to chase up staff for the bill at the end. Would go back again.

Lovely cafe. Bit pricey really (Inc service charge) it cost £40 for 2 small breakfasts n drinks. The food was very tasty and cooked nicely, so good job .... Really!! 👍

Visited this place a few times before. Just had the most disappointing experience so far because Poms had been very good in the past when we visited so we had an expectation. 1. Egg shell bits in the pouch egg. 2. We picked The salmon Bennie because we looked through their social media pictures. They posted this salmon Bennie a few times for the summer menu, looks delicious on the picture and we love raw smoked salmon. Turns outs it’s cooked. Nothings wrong with a cooked smoked salmon and it was still tasty, but false picture on the internet is just not ok. Not happy because it’s not what we expected. The waitress who served us was polite and friendly. I reflected to her about the salmon. She was calm when receiving my message. The five stars service was for her. Atmosphere is still great, good lighting good music, clean table and chairs. I will revisit again despite this disappointment because of how good our previous experience was.

Modern contemporary decor, good coffee and a delicious selection of cakes. Can recommend the Apricot and Pistachio Tart and the Pear and Almond Tart from acclaimed Silver Tree bakery. Appreciated that we could be accommodated without a booking at a busy time and will be using the online booking next time. Our waitress, a natural communicator, was faultless. Really well done Poms! Glad we did not miss out!

Visited Poms for brunch in a small group. The food was decent and service ok, however the prices are absolutely eye watering for what you get. Our eggs had bits of shell in and the breakfast components were all pretty standard - not a big issue, but made it really hard to justify the price.

We went for brunch and it was absolutely beyond expectations! Nice vibe and quality of food, and very delicious

Really nice service, the girl was really kind, funny and polite. They didn't have some food, but they gave us another option. Also they have a DOG MENU!!! if you have dogs this is your place. Definitely a place to come back, I have to add this is the second time we eat here. Sorry but I need to do another review about this restaurant. I need to change my opinion, because I have been here the last week, and have changed a lot! The first time we really enjoyed it, but this time we need to say that it is not exactly the same. The more important thing is that the staff is really nice and kind! But the food is simple (nice taste) and soooo expensive! The sausages for the dogs were cold! Our meal was two toasts (really was a toast, but we paid too much! Sorry, but this means we are not going back. We can find other places with better prices.

We visited this cafe yesterday lunch as a big group of 9 people. Staff were very accommodating to such a large group and were lovely and patient towards the children. Food was great and the cafe felt like such a friendly environment. Staff were hardworking yet all had a smile on their faces. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Lichfield.

Loved the food and the atmosphere in this gem of a cafe, so came back again two days later. Staff recognised us and gave us such a warm welcome. Food once again was delicious (this time I had the veg and chickpea panini).

Indoor ventilation can improve, especially during the busy hours as the smoke can cover the whole cafe and made us smell poor after eating here. The pancake can also improve. Food is generally good but would expect the “real” American style pancake like thicker and larger in size. Staff was very nice btw.

The Damn Fine Cafe does a Damn poor breakfast! I visited Lichfield with my wife and decided to start the trip with breakfast. Well, to be totally honest, it was really poor quality for what we paid for it. The bacon was overcooked, and the beans were all dried up and resembled a sticky mush on a plate, no bean sauce in sight. The only positive thing was that the food was hot, my tea came out with my breakfast and the lady on the till taking the orders was both efficient and friendly. The search will continue for the best Lichfield breakfast, but unfortunatly the Damn Fine Cafe isn't one of them.

Been to the dam fine cafe multiple times over the past 2 years and never had a bad experience the food is amazing worth every penny I do recommend to any visiting Lichfield to stop by

Visited today the food was first class and service was prompt and friendly. The only thing that let them down was two staff members having a water fight in the kitchen, other than that would recommend highly.

The food here is average. The waitresses are all hard working and polite. The woman who runs the cafe, however is rude and impolite. I have been taking a friend on ours there on a Saturday. He is 102 years old and I take him to Lichfield on a Saturday to do some shopping, have a bite to eat. This woman has been very off with me, every time we go there. She never says hello and gives me dirty looks. The only recognition I've got from her was a kind of smirk, when I made a point of saying hi to her on Saturday. I was waiting to be served at the counter, and she complety ignored me. After about half a minute, I told my friend we are leaving. I said thank you to her as we left. I will NEVER set foot in that place ever again. Im a paying customer and this woman sees me as a piece of dirt. She has absolutely no reason to act like this towards me, but she will never have the opportunity to do so ever again.

To all the staff at the school house Thank you for a memorable day celebrating hubby's 70th. We had the private dining in St Mary's room. Set out beautiful with plenty of space for our large party. Food was amazing, hot and full of flavour. Not one complaint. Two grandchildren loved their meals. Nothing was too much trouble. Please pass on our sincere thanks to everyone

What a super place for sunday lunch. The three course meal was delicious. The staff too were very helpful and took the time to assist some of our group with mobility issues. Great service thank you.

We enjoyed a wonderful anniversary celebration; the staff are so cheerful and helpful, they notice everything that needs doing quickly and efficiently and are most thoughtful of people's individual needs. The food is delicious. There is a wide menu catering for all tastes, portions are generous and presented attractively. Price - very reasonable. Great care is taken to ensure hygiene in all areas. We shall be returning with our friends. Thank you to all concerned.

Thank you so much for our amazing wedding breakfast. The staff were attentive, and we felt very looked after. Our room was beautifully presented even before we added our own finishing touches. I can honestly say, we are both delighted with everything about the day! Me and Mrs Stretton

Attended this venue with for a post funeral/wake of a friend. A really nice venue. A very good use of space in the function room. The bar service could be improved a little as it was slow but staff were really pleasant and friendly. Venue looks great for weddings with plenty of space outside. The owners could do with considering some better air quality options like air conditioning on the warmest of days as the portable fans they just wasn't up for the job. Parking is a little limited but due to location they seem limited on options to improve this. Overall though a really nice venue and definitely recommend.

Had my Aunties 21st themed birthday (she’s was 70) meal here, paid for our private space, it was well presented and they reorganised when we said we were expecting more guests. My auntie is severely allergic to gluten and also very fussy, she had a separate menu and was told they could adapt some choices off the regular menu. The manager was attentive, very funny, and patient with us all. Food was good, a bit pricey but all 15 plates arrived hot and very well presented.

Today we had the wake for my sister's funeral here. We had 50 people the food was excellent. Hot and well presented and plenty if it. The desert also lovely. So many thanks to Julie and her team. The organisation was first class with stunning views and lovely friendly staff. Well done for making a difficult day better.

Too crowded and too busy to take walk ins on a Sunday. Offered a 1h45 wait. Meh, we went to a better place instead and the drive time included with a good meal: 1hr. Toby are chasing away good customers by not providing alternatives. Time to raise prices on Sundays and start offering lamb again?

Very poor reception upon entry. Was disappointed not be greeted at the door. We became very inpatient while waiting to be seated. We decided to grab a drink from the bar after a few minutes. Soft drinks were we’re expensive. When finally seated. We were more impressed with the food, (while I was, meats were up to standard) my partner was a little disappointed with lack of veg, no broccoli and no carrot, new potatoes or parsnip. We both remember the place having greater standards! The one saving grace was the service of a young lady named Courtney, extremely professional, courteous and interpersonal! A true pro! We wish the young lady all the very best with her studies and future endeavours. She made our experience far greater, she needs a raise or staff member of the Month award!

I had a lovely experience at this restaurant. Suzanne was incredibly helpful, polite, and efficient throughout our visit, which made the lunch even more enjoyable. The food was lovely – the meat was very tender and full of flavour, and the vegetables were cooked well, retaining both their freshness and taste. Overall, a great meal with excellent service. I’ll definitely be returning.

I have visited on many occasions and yesterday, it was for Sunday Lunch with family. Staff were helpful and our table was well positioned for the servery, as requested. The food was excellent and our waitress, Suzanne, was very helpful and cheerful. My one recurring complaint is the layout of the servery. It's hopelessly small and leads to long delays when collecting food. Serving staff were plentiful and helpful, but the throughput of customers was painfully slow. Once meat is on the customer's plate there is far too long a wait to collect vegetables, principally because the servery is so small and customers have to wait (and wait) before it's their turn to plate their vegetables. There must be someone with the wisdom to look at the layout and see what can be done to improve matters. You may lose a few covers but it would greatly improve the customer experience. The place was heaving with customers yesterday but the queue for the servery was far too long. I am a regular Toby customer and Shenstone is convenient for my family but I think I may be hesitant about booking for Sunday lunches in future.

Really enjoyed our meal, plenty of choice but sad there was no cauliflower cheese or butternut/ vegetable dish. But enjoyed it anyway. Our waitress Ellie was very attentive and pleasant. Will come again

I really like this pub, especially because of the friendly members of staff who work here. They are kept busy throughout the day, but yet they are all welcoming and keen to try their best to please all their customers. I think the food is very good for the price and I definitely get more than my money's worth of soft-drinks from the Pepsi re-fill station! :) For me though, it's definitely the lovely team who work here who make this Toby Carvery a place that I like to go back to every week. Thank you all. :)

Visited today for the carvery and from entering the establishment to leaving we were impressed. The staff were very attentive, polite and ensured we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, hot and plentiful. The venue was extremely clean and tables were cleared promptly, and when we'd finished we weren't rushed out of the door like some places to free up the table. All in all a perfect Sunday lunch.

Amazing tasting food with amazing prices! Brie to start which was a good size wedge, chicken pate was very tasty and the pork belly was the best I’d had in a while with crispy crackling! Only negatives the portion of veg is way too small and the menu says £1 supplement for pork and they charged us £2, obviously not a huge difference but when we pointed out they had it listed wrong they didn’t even offer to rectify.

Eaten here lots of times. Food and service is always spot on. Very reasonably priced A must try in Lichfield .

Very disappointed with my overall meal & experience. Fishcake starter was very nice apart from the 2 very large fish bones which were inside, one of which I nearly swallowed the staff couldn’t have cared less! Main of swordfish steak with £3 supplement was dry, overcooked and tasteless again staff couldn’t have cared less! My sweet was New York cheesecake with Eaton mess which was delicious when I told waiter his reaction that saved the meal - well actually no it didn’t really. Having said that my husband’s main of confit of duck was absolutely outstanding and also he enjoyed his goats cheese starter, he chose cheese & biscuits with port which was OK for his sweet. Not once did any member of staff ask how our meal was and no one bothered to apologise for the 2 large fish bones which I considered unacceptable and no one said thank you or goodbye when we left. So all in all dissatisfaction with meal we had high hopes for after 2 recommendations, had the staff not been so unfriendly & unprofessional we may have given a better rating, it was as though the 2 fish bones were my fault! There are many more places in Lichfield for us to try.

First time visit with friends yesterday and this little gem exceeded all our expectations. If you are looking for a taste of French cuisine, this is the place. Every plate was delicious and plentiful. Staff very attentive. Will be back soon!

Amazing little gem of a bistro! We had wanted to try this for years and have only just got around to it! So glad we did! Price point is perfect and cost friendly, food is amazing, tastes more expensive than it is. Credit to everyone involved

Had a well cooked, and pleasantly presented lunch today. Served by attentive waiting staff. Also very good value. Quaint setting too!

What a beautiful gem of a Bistro! Recommended by my Mother who has visited 3 times in a month! I shall certainly return! Gorgeous food! Great price! Wonderful helpful & friendly staff! Thank you Chris! See you again soon! X 🙏🏼 Anna & Max

Food was very nice. Desert I had was amazing, had it several times. My autistic son loves it here and the staff have always accompanied his picky habits as best they can. Will definitely be going back for a 3rd visit soon

Came out for my birthday, the service was just as amazing as the food, highly recommend. Will be coming again

Visited first time today. Food was tasty. Very quiet this afternoon. Service was good. Lunch for 2 people with tip came to £70 including two drinks, no pudding. A bit pricey but overall a good experience.

Ordered through Deliveroo which was fast and delivered hot. I ordered the aubergines in batter with dip. Absolutely delicious, also ordered the pasta with chicken and mushrooms. Very large portion and was excellent with a dressed side salad. All in all the food was delicious, hot and tasty. I will definitely order again from this restaurant.

We’ve eaten here loads of time, most recently last night for my daughter’s birthday. The staff are always very good, particularly good last night we thought. The food is reasonably priced and of a good quality. You can get different discounts through their app as well so that’s worth downloading. The drinks are quite expensive, £3.95 for a can of coke, but it’s like that most places these days unfortunately! Will be back again soon.

We had a really positive experience at Ask Italian Lichfield. Me and my partner had a small wedding with just the parents and booked here for our meal. The staff went out of their way to help us celebrate and really contributed to our special day. A special shout out to the waiter with the beard and tattoos, I did not get his name, but he treat the 6 of us really well. They made sure my mother had a gluten free menu so that she didn't need to sift through the standard menu to find something she could eat. Aside from the customer service, the food was beautiful. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. It was well presented, well cooked and above all, delicious. We all had a range of mains and deserts. I really enjoyed my tagliatelle and my wife enjoyed he mushroom calzone. I really just want to say thank you to the staff for helping make our day extra special.

What a lovely first experience. As a serious nut allergy sufferer lots of care and attention taken. Food was nicely presented and hot.

Always lovely food, feels cosy and staff are friendly and attentive. We had the camembert sharing starter and pork belly from the standard menu and also the sweet chilli salmon from the specials board. The portions are large so be warned! No room for dessert unfortunately this time...

We recently visited The Plough and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The pub has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a traditional charm that makes it feel both cosy and inviting. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The menu offered a great selection of dishes, all reasonably priced, and the food was absolutely delicious—freshly prepared and full of flavour. Whether you're stopping by for a meal or just a drink, The Plough is well worth a visit. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and look forward to returning soon.

Really nice place to eat, and just relax, you can seat by river and enjoy food beer and view, from time to time train is passing by, but apart from that, really recommend definitely will come back,food delicious, and not expensive.

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere and good food. Added bonus of being next to the canal so a gentle stroll along the towpath is recommended!

Great ale and food looked fantastic although we didn't eat we will next time

Went with friends and family and gotta say was pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing the staff really nice and helpful. The overall experience was 10/10. I loved this place and will hope to go back again if I'm over this neck of the woods

Walk in lunch for 5 people. Good selection of beers, ciders and lagers. Menu: Burgers, pizzas, steaks, plus usual, pies, fish, pasta dishes. Well cooked and presented. Good value for money. Very pleasant staff. Outside and inside seating. Canalside.

Tried this pub out today, never been before. Several rooms to choose from, and bar that serves real ale with a good choice, so my partner was happy. Extensive menu, and ordered meal at bar. I had 8 oz steak with mushrooms, chips peas and tomato, my partner had beef Sunday roast. Both meals were nicely cooked, and very large. Good value for money here, and staff very helpful and friendly.

Friendly staff, served quite fast, not rude. Plate left out by the window counter spoiled beautiful old room. Historic building nice.

Friendly staff and amazing food. Will definitely visit again ☺️

Lovely pub with loads of character . Amazing staff 5* . Great food and a lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our time here .

Despite frequenting this pub for many years to see bands I only ate there for the first time yesterday. Food was excellent fresh and really tasty and reasonably priced. Lots of vege options so will certainly be going back again. Great local pub. Friendly atmosphere and good service. Just seen a band called Seventh Son. They were the best live band ever!!! Played great covers. Never heard a band play The Stone Roses before!!! Cool beans!!!

Food, Guinness, and staff were absolutely stunning! I didn't catch the barmans name, but he was a gem, really friendly and so kind. In an unfamiliar town away for work, I find a warm reception so essential and that's 100% what I got here 😊 thanks to the team, and even the punters, for making me feel welcome away from home. It would even be worth making the five hour trip to come back ✌🏼

Nice staff and spot on music creating a great atmosphere

Beautiful pub, we have been here before whilst cruising along the canal. Food was yummy and lots of it! Had a cocktail and that was yummy too. Lovely place to come for a drink or food. Has a big beer garden with things to keep the kids entertained ❤️

We booked it a week ago. Apparently it was meant to be nice. We found out its recently changed hands. On arrival we we're greeted by a lovely young lady. Shown to our seats. We ordered food. The chips with the chicken came out cold. The accompanying salad was just onions and cucumber. I'm Allergic to cucumber. No question was asked🤦‍♂️. The saving grace was the dessert. The custard is lovely.

Hopwas is blessed with two pubs, opposite one another by the Coventry canal. We are staying in the village for a couple of days and popped in for a pint. The Red Lion is a proper unpretentious locals' village pub and we were soon chatting to regulars at the bar. Doggy friendly with a separate public bar and lounge. Unusual these days as so often these are knocked into one huge and impersonal area. Enter the foyer, turn left for the public bar, right for the lounge bar. A further small room off the public bar with seating and a darts board. Beautiful gardens by the canal. Sadly we had already made arrangements for dinner as there was steak and kidney pud available on the specials menu. Our favourite dish and would often travel miles for it. Oh well. A really friendly and proper locals' pub and our preferred option in the village.

Our grandson took us here on route to the nearby DMS for lunch, it was quite busy but they found us a table in no time at all. Great choice of menu and our food of 3 different dishes all arrived together and was hot and freshly prepared. There's a good friendly atmosphere and seems to be very popular with the locals. A very pleasant lunch and would recommend this place if your visiting the area.

Used to love this place but after I came home from here today I said to my fella ‘I need something to settle my stomach or I need to make myself sick’. Food was so greasy, a fly was battered into the onion ring and the southern fried chicken strips were battered sandwich chicken. Absolutely gross food and has gone rapidly down hill since I last visited, left feeling so ill.

Went here for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. Beautiful canalside location with lovely garden area. Roasts were SO good and well priced, my only complaint was I didn't have room for pudding! Will be coming back so I can have a dessert!

I love to use the Ref Lion at Hopwas for breakfast and lunch. I love the fact the food is home cooked, generous portion sizes and good quality at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and courteous. Plenty of seating in the dining (although you should book for peak times). Food also served in the bar and outside. Great location just outside of town. If it’s decent weather get yourself a seat in the beer garden and watch the canal boats go by- it’s a fab place to lose a few hours

Very attentive staff food was presented beautifully flavours were very good and very friendly service , it’s a shame that they haven’t all had the opportunity to taste the menus. Lovely restaurant

Really enjoyed the night. All the staff very knowledgeable and attentive. Food was very very good, utilising some good combinations of flavours and side accondments. Excellent wine choice. We will be back.

Our experience had its ups and downs, but it ultimately left us with memorable moments—especially in the realm of dessert. The true highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Cardamom Panna Cotta, which was simply exceptional and one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. Traveling with a child can pose its own challenges, particularly in fine dining settings. While the restaurant didn’t have a dedicated kids’ menu, they graciously accommodated our young guest with a custom small portion meal—an effort we genuinely appreciated. Overall, it was a delightful experience

This is a great restaurant. Found in the Michelin Guide, it's punching well above it's weight! My Wife and I had wonderful service here, the staff are excellent and the food is superb. Whenever or wherever, we always love the tasting menus, they give an insight in to the world of the Chef and the Kitchen and almost always accompany them with a wine flight. They give you a taste of new and exciting wines you may never have tried, or may never try again. Get a great Sommelier with a tale to tell of it's origins and their own travels of discovery, it's always a great experience. The Boat does not disappoint and with a menu thats priced well.... Bargain!. Next stop off..... A Liam V's PCB ✌🏻

Absolutely amazing food and very receptive /attentive service. Every course and little bites made exceptionally well. Food was like listening to a symphony orchestra. Mind you they worked as a team right in front of our eyes, which is brave considering the pressures of a Michelin starred restaurant. Bravo 👏

We had the tasting menu with wine pairing last night. The food and wine was faultless, easily comparible to any of the finest restaurants we have been to. The service was wonderful, attentive and everyone looked like they enjoyed their job. Fred on the bar took huge pride in making sure his area was clean and all the glasses were spotless. Great to see a young lad take such pride in his work. The restaurant decor is gorgeous, and so nice not to be all squashed in, highly recommend.

You can't go wrong at The Boat. From the minute you walk in you are made to feel welcome, and you realise this place is a bit special. Somehow each individual ingredient bursts with flavour like you've never tasted before, it's sheer alchemy.

Lunchtime or an evening meal, then The Nelson won't disappoint 😋 We were celebrating a birthday, and some of us had the set menu and others ordered off the main menu. All meals were delicious and arrived together. Pictured is my steak which was 👌 The staff were attentive, but not annoyingly popping by every 2 minutes to check everything is okay. They got it just right. Drinks can't be faulted either, plenty on draught to choose from, while I enjoyed some wine 😌 If you want someone with a high end feel, bit without the prices then pop by and try The Nelson. Their fixed price lunch and evening meals are great value and quality. They also have a large patio area where you can dine or just have a drink in the sun 🌞 There is a children's play area to the side of the patio, with a large field area too. We often come here as we know we won't be disappointed!

Spent a lovely lunch with the bestie, no reservation, the server was amazing and understood that we needed to catch up and allowed us time at the beginning to talk before ordering. Would definitely go back.

This was our 1st visit to The Nelson Inn,it was my birthday and this place had been recommended to us. On arrival we were shown to our table,1st impression was not good,the table had a very tacky sticky feel to it and when my skin come into contact with it it made me feel grimey, I felt like I could not relax as I could not rest my arm,it felt like I had to remember to avoid coming into contact with the table. In the end I opened up the serviette and covered part of the table with it just so if I did decide to rest my arm then at least I wouldn't stick to the table. We then ordered two Sunday roasts,my partner had lamb and I had the turkey. As soon as the meal was put down in front of me I was surprised how small it was,I am an adult not a child.The turkey was on top so I lifted it up with my fork to reveal the smallest amount of mash I'd ever seen 2 small roast potatoes, although the way I have taken the photo they look big but that wasn't the case,1 carrot, tiny amount of stuffing,pig in blanket and a Yorkshire pudding plus obviously the turkey with gravy also a very small pot of mixed vegetables supposedly for the two of us was put on the table but not edible because the carrots were rock hard. I was not impressed with the food on my plate either, the taste was just not there,very bland however I did taste the pig in blanket,but left it as something just didn't taste right at all,absolutely vile. When I managed to find the mash it was in a little stodgy lump,tasted ok nothing special, the roast potatoes took what seemed like forever to cut into and very hard to chew,the tiny amount of stuffing tasted ok but a bit rubbery,the 1 carrot was ok,the Yorkshire pudding was ok and the turkey was ok but not great,a strange taste to it. The gravy was ok but a bit thin and very small amount. After taking all of 10 minutes to eat this massive dinner we was asked if we would like desert,earlier me and my partner already had discussed that we would have a desert after dinner,we don't usually but because it was a special occasion we thought we would but after seeing the dinner and the taste of it or lack of we just looked at each other and said no thankyou can we have the bill. My overall opinion is i would not dine here again,yes the staff were pleasant enough but for me the food was just not nice,well ours wasn't anyway,I watched other people get served their Sunday roasts but they looked nothing like ours,theirs were full plates where as ours looked like it had been prepared for the borrowers. Putting aside the size and taste of our meals the worst thing for me was the feel of the table just plain nasty and needs addressing.

The Nelson is situated down the lanes near Chorley and is well worth finding. Very large car park, with a childrens play area off behind the pub. The pub itself, is very large, with a bar area and the restaurant, with meals also available in the bar. The dining room is well laid out and well decorated. The menu is excellent and caters for all tastes, plus dietary requirements. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Food is freshly prepared and presented well. I had the Sea Bass, which was delicious and would definately have it again. The restaurant was very busy, despite it being a lunchtime, but still a great atmosphere, not too noisey you couldn't talk easily. We had a reallt lovely meal and will definately return.

A lovely meal at the Nelson. We were advised to book in advance as it gets busy and it definitely was when we arrived. The staff were friendly and helpful during the evening, and we felt service was neither rushed or slow. The menu had a nice range of options and all our main meals were hot and nicely presented. The food tasted good and portion sizes were healthy so you won’t leave feeling hungry. Desserts were equally good. When we booked online the site indicated we would need to vacate our table after a couple of hours, but the time came and went, our coffees arrived and we carried on talking. Am enjoyable experience and we will be back.

Sunday lunch was proper old English food , started with the prawn cocktail and the beef for main and my father had the mixed grill , Service was great and the food even better 😋

Lovely food and staff. Only criticism is the discount for gym membership. It only counts for food for one person, not the family which was not communicated. It does mean we make less visits; although, we do still come because the food is good. Friendly staff too.

Great food and good service considering how busy they were. We booked a table on the web-site earlier in the day, but no-one came back to us, so we just rocked up! Luckily, another table of 2 were no-shows, their loss. I can thoroughly recommend the salads here, they're really tasty and you don't feel completely stuffed afterwards. We've been before, and we'll go again.

Food was good, a little bit pricey but you are in the centre of Lichfield. I had Pad Thai, it was pretty good, not the best I have tasted but pretty authentic. I would recommend a visit if you like Thai food

I’ve been looking for a good Thai spot since I moved here from the states and I’m happy to say I have finally found the perfect place here! No matter what dish I order or what time I come the service and food is always a 11/10. I can’t recommend this place enough. I don’t give out 5 stars often but this is a must try!

Had a lovely meal prior to the concert at Lichfield Cathedral. The crispy aubergine dish was especially delicious! Lovely servers. Would recommend.

I eat here often, it's always high quality delicious food. I also love the atmosphere as it's decorated in an authentic thai way with a very cosy atmosphere. Staff are super friendly and helpful, toilets are spotlessly clean. But stand our for me is the delicious food.

Very authentic Thai food, all staff including the chef are Thai. Highly recommend the starter platter both vegan and the normal one which basically includes everything from the starter menu. You wouldn’t disappointed with any soup either! I use to come every week and I was very lucky to found one extremely tasty Thai fried rice which is not on the menu. Haven’t come back for more than half year now and a bit disappointed about the fried rice is not the one I usually have this time…can’t remember the Thai name and the lady who always serve us is not in on the day we visited. Overall, still recommend to try if you like Thai food like us.

Lovely food served on hot plates too. Friendly service despite how slow we were with our choice. Expensive but worth it.

First time here, personally I didn't like the modern look, it lacked the country pub charm for me. The server was quick to ensure we had drinks. Felt a little rushed. She even asked if we were finished with the starters even though there were 3 chickens still on the plate. Starters were a little uninspiring, especially the fried chicken and at £9 I would have thought it came with a little more flare. Scotch egg reported to be tasty. Calamari was nice. Mains. The lamb was a bit dry and the roasties a little over cooked. Pork belly again reported dry. The veg was fresh n hot, nice variety. Paid extra for mash (I thought that was salty) and 2 cauliflower cheese. The food here is expensive and we agreed it wasn't worth it. Sorry.

The food was absolutely delicious, we came for my partners parents birthdays/retirement dinner. I had the crab arancini and was absolutely blown away, I can confidently say it was the best arancini I’ve ever had. The filet steak was superb, as a chef myself, it was cooked to perfection. Sadly I only snapped two photos of the food I had however, the pizzas are incredibly big and fresh! No complaints from the nine of us dined together. The liquor “safe” has an exquisite range and honestly wish I lived locally as I’d visit weekly!

Enjoyable starters calamari and soup with croutons. Roast turkey was cooked to perfection and so was the Mexican dish. Really good service and so lovely to sit outside. My complimentary dessert to celebrate my birthday tomorrow was a lovely touch, thank you 🎂.

An excellent restaurant with a higher price tag then I'm used to. Fantastic food, excellent service - would highly recommend it. We spent about £50 per head, including drinks. Not unreasonably priced, but adds up quick if having 3 courses. The food was phenomenal and staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable of the menu.

Lovely looking place tidy and clean inside when sat down given 5 mins to choose drink which was perfect then come to the food the staff were swearing alot to one another the chefs with it been quiet were just sitting on there phones whilst looking out at the tables another couple joined the same room as ours so the chefs moved but you could hear them playing there videos as volume was so loud wouldn't return had to wait ages for staff to even get the bill and turned down a pudding as waited 15 mins since she left us the menu. Got home and my clothes stunk of food not a place id recommend purely on service

Had Sunday lunch there today, l had Turkey, partner had pork, son had beef all of the meals was the best l ever had for a long time and my daughter who is fussy had noodles and said it was delicious. Can’t wait to go again.

Had a lovely meal here! Staff were brilliant and squeezed us in even though we hadn't booked a table, we were served and fed quickly and the meal was delicious! The beer garden was lovely too with someone coming to put a heater on for us! Would recommend!

Went there for a night out. Arrived early in the evening, so the restaurant was quiet. As a party of 6, we were all over the age of 18, save for my daughter, who's 13. In spite of this, the wine glasses were immediately cleared from the table, which was a shame as we'd gone out to celebrate a promotion and a birthday and probably would have ordered. We had no dedicated waiter and instead would be served by one person, only to be approached and asked again about two minutes later. Which ended up with us feeling rushed and, in the end, went with the safe option off the menu rather than experimenting. The food was served extremely quickly, giving the impression that it had been pre-prepped rather than made to order, and I've seen one too many episodes of Ramsey kitchen nightmares to be entirely comfortable with that. The food was pleasant and well presented but left me extremely thirsty (I really could have done with my glass of vino) The staff cleared plates as soon as we looked like we were finished, and I mean literally, as soon as we looked like we were done. A little space for conversation and digestion would have been appreciated. In the end, I forwent coffee or dessert as I felt the staff wanted rid of us. One or two of the party did order cheesecake as desert. This came out frozen solid. All in all, I wouldn't say the meal was a total disaster, but overall, it was a bit anticlimactic, so I wouldn't go out my way to return.

One of the few places that opens early in the day, so I really appreciate that. The staffs were friendly but they could definitely improve on their services on attention to customers and speediness. The price were pretty decent, although the portion of the food were just smaller than expected. Quality of the food was not bad; they are a little bit on the salty side. I enjoyed the chicken in lemon sauce and the chicken wings. For a restaurant in a small town, it’ll do.

Beautiful food amazing service and a beautiful place will definitely be back

Lee Garden in Lichfield is a solid, reliable Chinese restaurant that never disappoints. The food is always absolutely delicious, freshly cooked, and full of flavour. Every time I collect an order, it’s ready on time, piping hot, and perfectly packed. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, which really makes the difference — you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It’s easily one of the best Chinese takeaways in the area and a place we keep coming back to. Highly recommended.

Superb food, super friendly and attentive service. Would highly recommend and we'll be back. We shared the set menu for two and it was delicious and very filling. The green tea was tasty too.

Very, very poor. Apart from one waiter the staff had no concept of customer service. One, in particular, was haughty and impatient. There was no atmosphere. The food was dreadful - tasteless, boring, unappetising, uninteresting, unrewarding, unsatisfying. I ordered salt and chilli fish. The menu did not state that it would be deep fried chunks. If it had, I would not have ordered it. And over £6.00 for a pint of Hobgoblin? Needless to say, I will not be going to Lee Garden again.

Everything about this place was great, zero complaints as we walked in with no reservation and got seated at a nice table. The staff were very friendly and helpful along with the overall service.

Never had a better Sunday dinner anywhere else. The food here is incredible! I’ve been coming here for a long time now and every single time, it’s been a hit! Although prices have increased over time, this is to be expected given the current economic climate. But it’s worth every penny. Definitely recommend trying the beef dinner.

Highly recommended. Our steaks were delicious and the service was excellent. The choux pastry dessert was a real treat. We were here for a birthday celebration, and the personalised card was a lovely touch. Larder has a good atmosphere, an attractive environment and attentive, friendly service.

The garlic prawn linguine was out of this world delicious ! If you only have this dish you won't be disappointed, however we went the whole hog and had 3 courses. Each dish was flavoursome and beautifully presented by our waitress Nicky. Nicky was fun and chatty without being intrusive. It was our 10th Wedding Anniversary treat to ourselves. The staff knew this, so they gave us a card with a handwritten ' Happy 10th Anniversary' message, which was a really nice touch. We really enjoyed our meal and when in Lichfield, we will be back. Highly recommended.

Wow the flavours! Very tasty We had such a lovely experience at Larder. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour, and the staff were so attentive and friendly throughout. We really felt looked after and can’t wait to come back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great welcome by the staff, the food was outstanding and the cocktails were stunning. The staff were attentive and friendly and took pride in their work. Would 100% recommend to anyone, it was the perfect venue for our date night.

Fantastic restaurant, lunchtime set menu is quality food and value. Friendly staff. Not our first time at this venue.

We had an absolutely fabulous meal at Larder. The onion bloom starter was the most interesting and delicious starter I’ve eaten for a very long time. I thought it would be hard for the steak to come close, but in fact it was even better! The peppercorn sauce was the best I’ve ever tasted, and the steak felt much more superior than a rump. The staff were attentive and friendly, but not too much. Overall a great meal at a very reasonable price.

Can’t believe we have been charge for a dash of lemonade in a pint of lager !!!! Last few visits no charge but today on our second drinks order we were x charge 75 p for a dash of lemonade ….. weights and measures suggest it shouldn’t be priced as your getting a short measure of lager …. Search google!!

This place is cozy, the food is delicious and the service is very good. Highly recommended, we advise you to book in advance otherwise it gets very crowded.

I visited here with my mom last week, I have to say what a lovely little pub, cosy and warm, plenty of parking, spotlessly clean. I think the review about a ‘cat throwing up’ must be mistaken for another pub, there is certainly no cats In here, I even asked the staff about it and they said they don’t allow cats, only dogs! Anyway, I had lasagne which was delicious and my mom had steak and ale pie. Lasagne, pie and mash all homemade, piping hot and very tasty. Reasonable prices, big portions and lovely friendly staff. We will definitely be returning soon! Thanks again

We visited the sister pub, The Red Lion at Hopwas after a good first experience, but was full when we tried to revisit, so thought we would try the Horse and Jockey after that experience. It was quiet, but the food was fantastic. It was like home cooked food, not like the portion controlled chain pubs, we had southern fried chicken, fish and chips, steak burger and hunters chicken. Will definitely try both places again. 5*

All Good But They Are Very Stingey on The Chilli Con Carne Portion Sizes. We went for Sunday lunch for mothers day. All good, staff were friendly and helpful and the Land Lady even got us a cushion for my 103 year old grandmother. Food took a while to arrive, When it arrived all the meals were good except mine. We had a lasagne, a roast beef dinner, steak and chips and finally my meal - chilli con carne. All my families meals were a decent size except mine. The actual chiili con carne part was a very small portion indeed. So we questioned it and the waiter went off to check and returned to tell us 'The chef says thats the size it comes as'. So I sat and ate my modest portion. There was loads of plain rice on my plate but sadly lacking on chilli con carne. Later on when we came to pay we mentioned it again and was told by a different waiter they are set sizes. So we said back to him if you could pass on our feedback about the portion of chilli con carne was way too small. So that kind of ruined our experience really. Please see attched photo of my overly modest portion as it looked when the waiter placed it down on the table.

A really lovely family meal. The food was wonderful and the staff friendly Definitely will be back

Have visited several times this year (normally whilst on an outbound leg to Lichfield) and in general experiences have been reasonably good. Baguette lunch options are very good value for money (you get an awful lot) and there may be room to consider and actively market a ’Half portion’ option for the younger or elderly smaller appetite. Of the remainder of the menu, this seems expensive for what it is – on one occasion I tried this and ordered a Lasagne: it arrived with the Cheese topping dripping with oil and grease – this tasted awful and I ate maybe a quarter of this before my gag reflex overtook and I felt physically sick. Once bitten, twice shy, and I have stuck with the baguette option ever since… The interior of the Restaurant has a ‘distressed’ decorative finish which some my find visually downtrodden: that being said, the Toilet facilities are the cleanest and brightest encountered to date – so hygiene is evidently a high priority here. Overall, I am awarding 4 stars: whilst there is room for some improvement (particularly in reflecting a very successful menu formula already operational at a sister operation (Red Lion, Hopwas), I am not going to kick, and am a firm believer in supporting and promoting the Independent Licensees’ fresh meal provision efforts by comparison with nearby ‘Chain Pub Airline Catering’ options.

Visited a few times for a drink since the re-opening and had a great experience. The outside area with park is great for kids! Also visited Sunday for a Sunday dinner and it didn’t disappoint! Lovely beef dinner with all the trimming, including stuffing and pigs in blankets. Will definitely be returning to try their weekday menu.

An unforgettable experience. We went to The Malt Shovel last night for a meal and, honestly, it was absolutely unbelievable. The service was fantastic – friendly, attentive, and welcoming – and the food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish tasted incredible, was beautifully presented, and was amazing value for money. What really blew me away was the personal touch. I asked if they could make garlic mushrooms, which wasn’t on the menu. Instead of just saying no, they spoke to the chef, who created a wild mushroom, cream-based dish that wouldn’t have been out of place in a high-end restaurant. It left me completely speechless – and trust me, I don’t say that lightly. This is, without a doubt, one of the nicest places I’ve eaten in a long time. If you want home-cooked food taken to the next level, a great atmosphere, and amazing staff, then look no further. Take my word for it – you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Sunday Lunch from Westwoods Bespoke Dining at the Malt Shovel in Chorley, best roast dinner I’ve ever had. Was so impressed with the quality of the food. Gorgeous.

Went to try the new bottomless brunch offering and was very impressed. Excellent menu choices with healthy portions. A bottle of prosecco plus unlimited cocktail pitchers. Would highly recommend!

We hadn't been to this pub for some time, but we popped in after hearing about the food. This wasn't a disappointment at all. We absolutely loved it. The beer selection is fantastic as well. Definitely coming back

Visited one our favourite places The Malt Shovel @ Chorley in a lovely village setting just outside Lichfield for lunch today Friday 17/10/2025. As usual absolute perfection from the moment we arrived by Ed and his team.Two wonderful rump steaks with peppercorn sauce, chunky chips, flat mushroom and tomato, cooked to perfection alongside a pint of Carling lager, a large 250 ml Pino Grigio the bill came to a shade over £40 pounds. Plentiful portions so much so that we actually needed to request to take some home which wasn’t a problem and bought cheerfully boxed up to our table. A big thank you to all concerned at the Malt Shovel and a return visit will be scheduled very soon 10/10 👏👏👏

Staff very helpful and friendly.. food is better quality than your normal pub food. Average main £16 per person. I it's a special occasion worth spoiling yourself . Something on the menu for everyone but a single sheet of choice.

Been a few times the past couple of months. Most say the new owners are brilliant! Service is lovely, so attentive and friendly. Food is such amazing quality and you definitely get more than you used to. Super tasty! Would highly recommend people visit :)

Been today for my birthday.. absolutely gorgeous and so friendly. 4 adults. Food was beautiful. Yuk sung and duck starters was amazing. And all four main meals was beautiful. Special curry. Sizzling lamb. Beef green pepper & King prawn Cantonese.. rice chips and Singapore noodles.. host was fantastic and made very welcome.. also given some complimentary wine for my birthday.. this is my favourite Chinese restaurant.. thank you so much for a wonderful birthday

Ordered a couple of takeaways over last couple of months and they've been pretty poor. Put it down to the takeover and new owners. Gave it one last chance tonight but yep same rubbish food again... Special curry with chips and fried rice - curry was watered down that much it was tasteless, chips were cold and soggy and rice pretty tasteless too. Will not be ordering again whilst these owners are in charge!!! Such a shame as this used to be the best Chinese in Lichfield.

Absolutely horrendous visit to Ruby restaurant this evening! Service was terrible, waited ages to be served, waited ages for food, only for it to come out cold. We was only a small table in consideration to bigger parties but got overlooked time after time. Had to ask for menus, clean cutlery and for our order to be taken. Definitely won't be returning, shame cause it was lovely every other time we visited 🤦 if it wasn't for the mother in law having 2 foot legs we would of done a runner 🙄

I have eaten in here many times and the food has been beautiful, But last night had a takeaway and the quality was very poor and pretty much tasteless. Will be going the golden wok in future for takeaways .

Had a great evening here; the food was fantastic (we had items off the all you can eat and regular menu) and the service was excellent - the team was attentive but not overbearing, and very personable, really enjoyed it and am already looking forward to heading back another day!

The chicken and sweetcorn soup is the best I’ve ever had. The family that run this place as really lovely and the food is plentiful. Why would we go anywhere else in Lichfield

Pizza by Goli offers an authentic pizza experience with a good, well made dough and flavors that are enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. While the pizza is the highlight, the pasta dishes are fairly average and don’t leave much of an impression. The restaurant itself is quite small, which can make it feel a bit cramped, especially during busy times. It’s a decent spot for a casual meal, but nothing that stands out enough to make it a must visit.

Food was good . Nothing very exciting in the menu, but well cooked and presented. Not much Italian atmosphere. Reasonable prices.

The worst Italian meal I've ever had. For starter we shared a pizza (Goli Special) - which was a cooked cheese and tomato pizza with defrosted pepperoni and salami slices and onion sprinkled on the top UNCOOKED!! The mains were equally underwhelming: Sea food pasta with only 2 prawns (more like winkles they were so small) and quite tasteless!!

Taken my Mother here on a few occasions and neither of us have been disappointed. The menu has a varied selection that also caters for vegetarians. The portions are a good size and quality of the food is very good. The place is clean with friendly staff and good service.

First time and certainly won't be out last! The warm welcome was a breath of fresh air. All the staff were friendly and professional and the food was lovely and fresh. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't already been.

We visit Goli’s regularly with family and friends and always have a great meal, great service and are always made to feel very welcome. My husband and son are picky eaters and the staff always go above and beyond to accommodate. Also THE BEST garlic bread!

My Husband had a pizza, said it was "very good". I went for the salmon in a wine, tomato cream sauce which was delicious. Would also recommend the tiramisu. The gentleman serving us was very helpful, jolly and knew the menu inside out.We'll definitely return the next time we're in the area.

Food excellent. Bit confusing to start as the waitress wasn't sure about drinks and had to go and ask higher up 3 times. Lovely Christmas carvery with coffee/tea and excellent VFM £20 a head An amazing pudding...photo attached..mini bites selection of puddings.

Excellent food and a pleasant mood restaurant; will come again next time.

Unfortunately not the best experience at this restaurant. We went for the Sunday carvery, which left a lot to be desired. Food was cold, and the cauliflower cheese was still frozen in some parts. The wait staff although pleasant didn’t offer any alternative when we mentioned this and just walked away. Wouldn’t recommend a visit.

7 of went for a meal great place good food and looked after by great staff thanks

Recently ate here and not very impressed. Frozen vegetables couldn't even cut the cauliflower meat was bought to the table and vegetables 5 minutes later. This was our second time eating here the first was amazing couldn't fault it but it has still put me off returning

My friend and I went to Darwin's last night for her birthday. From start to finish the whole experience was awful. When we were first seated the waitress said someone would come and take our drinks order in a couple of minutes. No one appeared. After a very long wait, we ordered drinks (a bottle of wine and some water) at the same time as our food. The wine came, but we had to ask again for the water. I ordered the cod loin with pesto sauce. When the food arrived it was dry, overcooked, there was no pesto sauce and the potatoes were stone cold. We had ordered a side dish of seasonal vegetables which didn't arrive until eventually we had to remind them. When the vegetables came they were just about lukewarm and there was no spoon to serve them with. I am not the sort of person who usually complains or sends back food but I decided my meal was not acceptable. The serving staff were nowhere to be found and I had to track them down to tell them I wanted to complain. They offered to bring me a fresh meal, by which time my friend had finished her meal and the side order of vegetables was now cold. When the waitress brought my replacement meal she apologised and said it was because they had an "amateur chef" on that night. These were her exact words!! We weren't paying "amateur" prices!! When the main meal was finished the bill was presented without us being asked if we wanted anything else. We could have chosen any restaurant to celebrate my friend's birthday, but Darwin's turned out to be a big mistake. I had heard good reports of Darwin's, but based on last night's experience I'm afraid I can't recommend it to anyone.

We visited the George Hotel today for lunch to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We were extremely disappointed to find that they are now only offering ‘pub grub’ rather than freshly cooked offerings gs befitting a hotel restaurant. Rather expensive pub grub which would be a lot cheaper in an actual pub!! We had to send the chips back as they were almost cold and we were overcharged for one of the drinks my husband had by 50p, the first bottle was £3.70 the 2nd £4.20 for the same beer, same size! The George in Lichfield used to be a beautiful hotel serving first class food. Sadly no more. We will now be looking for somewhere else to dine in Lichfield.

We visited for my dad’s birthday and unfortunately the experience felt quite rushed from the start. When we arrived, staff weren’t sure which menu we had booked (normal or bottomless), so we were sat at the very back of the restaurant on sticky tables. We asked to move to the front, as we thought it would get a bit noisy with the bottomless groups, and while the manager did let us move, we were told we’d only have 1.5 hours before the next booking. The new table was much nicer though. We ordered drinks and were told all food courses had to be ordered at once, which felt a little pressured. The food and drinks did come out quickly and were of a good standard. However, one member of our group asked to swap sweet potato fries for normal fries, which was agreed to, but the dish still arrived with sweet potato fries. After raising it, the plate was eventually swapped. Another disappointment was when our main meals arrived — the waitress told us that if we wanted more drinks, it would no longer be table service and we’d have to go up to the bar, as they had large groups coming in for bottomless sessions. This really isn’t what you expect at a restaurant, and it left some of us with empty glasses during the meal as we didn’t want to leave the table mid-course to go up and wait at the bar. The waitresses seemed a bit rushed off their feet, even though the restaurant wasn’t that busy, and that made the whole service feel a little impersonal. Overall, for a birthday meal it didn’t feel particularly relaxed or special, more like the focus was on turning tables quickly. We probably wouldn’t return for a family meal, but it seems better suited to a lively bottomless session with friends.

Incredible £5 lunch offer. Delicious fish & chips and a soft drink included. Staff are always friendly and accommodating, and my dog usually gets a treat 😀. Highly recommend.

Excellent staff/waiter service. Food perfect. Cocktails are perfect.

We had a bottomless for 15 of us and they were on point. Drinks flowed really well, starters came out perfect, mains 1 steak was cold, chicken on salad was too spicy for some and even though we pre ordered they didn’t have 2 of our puddings. However the food was still delicious and we were such a large group- the serving staff were fab and we really enjoyed it. Definitely be back.

We had a family wake at 55 Wade Street and want to thank Tom and his team for their kindness and support. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone was comfortable. The food was lovely, the space was perfect, and their care really made a difference on a difficult day. We’re so grateful.

Dreadful service — or should I say, complete lack of it! Booked a table for a pre-theatre meal, thinking we’d have a nice, relaxed start to the evening. Despite being the only people in the restaurant, after 20 minutes we still hadn’t even been asked if we fancied a drink. So, we took the hint, got up, and left — not that anyone noticed, as the staff were far too busy chatting. Ended up grabbing a bottle of wine from Tesco Express and heading to Major Curry instead, where the service was, as always, spot on. Sometimes Plan B turns out to be the best one!

Disappointed with the menu table was very sticky Staff were around bar all chatting to one another eventually someone came and took our order. We chose fish and chips which were acceptable There wasn’t any atmosphere or customer service from the staff . We have been to bar 55 previously and had a different menu which had more choice . Last time the restaurant was full this time we went there were only the two of us in restaurant . Very dissapointed we went to see show at Garrick afterwards and thought it would be nice to have somewhere close to eat but would not recommend bar55

Came here Sunday with friends for food and drinks. Been here a few times previously. 7 of us in total. We ordered: Poppadoms Lamb jalfrezi Chicken balti Chicken south Indian 2 x Chicken wrap Chips Plain rice Cheese naan Cheese, onion and garlic naan Chicken burger Chicken nuggets Would have liked more selection for the kids menu. I know its not the restaurants fault, but having screaming kids running around isn't a great atmosphere. Food was good and also well priced.

Update One year later and I'm still coming here. Good size food portions. Good quality food. Plenty of TVs to watch sports. It can get busy, so I would recommend booking in advance. If you were late eater, go there around 21:30 and most times you can get a seat without booking. Food finishes at 22:30 First time here and I was impressed. Very friendly staff. Great food and reasonable prices will definitely be coming back again.

Food was delicious- decent price - very big space inside- car parking little small

Excellent food. I had soya jalfrezi extra spicy and mushroom rice. It's a very busy place but the wait is worth the while! Attentive friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks. They have the formula 100% right.

I recently visited the Railway Inn in West Bromwich, and I was truly impressed! I ordered the curry, and it was absolutely delicious – the taste instantly transported me back to India. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced, just like traditional Indian home cooking. Every bite was full of freshness and spices that blended beautifully. The food was good, the atmosphere was good, and the beer was good – so what more do you want than that? Just visit! The service was friendly, and the whole experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine, flavorful Indian food in West Bromwich. I will definitely be coming back!

Has been afew years since I have been here, but still as good as ever. Mixed grill good flavour and great portion size. Nice refit since the last time I was here,outside area looks lovely 😍 will be back.

Great food as always, have been eating here for 5 years. The sauce with the butter paneer/chicken is so rich! We travel from Worcestor for this spot it's so consistently good.

Haven't been to this pub in yonks. Great inside, cosy. Dog friendly. I Had pie n chips, meat was tender and plenty of it. Lovely home cooked chips. My partner had fish n chips, and it was reported to be tasty. look forward to eating there again

I cannot fault the food served at this pub. I had bangers and mash last month with my sister and was very impressed at the quality of food served. I ate there again this evening with my daughter and husband and once again, we all found the food delicious. I had beef brisket with buttery mash and gravy, my husband had liver, bacon and mash with gravy and my daughter had sirloin steak. The gravy is totally different (and delicious) to whatever dish you choose, the mashed potato is so rich and smooth and the steak was cooked perfectly (accompanied with what I would describe as roast potato chunky chips!) To top it all, the Ghost Ship beer was fresh and fruity and clearly kept well in the cellar. The price for food is exceptional value for money given the quality served. Top marks for everything, thank you 🙂

Booked lunch at the pub two weeks ago by telephone.. Turned up today for lunch with our invited friends to find the place closed. Other people on the car park looking bemused as they had bookings too. No signs, back kitchen door open no answer. Needless to say will not bother going back, disgraceful.

Went to the Dog for the Thursday night quiz for the first time. Grabbed some food first which was as delicious as the last couple times we've been and then really enjoyed the quiz. Just £1pp to enter and good selection of questions. Great pub, really welcoming and friendly.

Stopped off for a pint when gravel riding the canal. A bit off the canal, but easy to get to. Nice beer garden and friendly staff.

Popped in with friends on Sunday lovely pub very friendly great staff and good service we will be back more often

Visited last night after the Netherseal festive tractor run. Rang to see if they had s table for 8 & they said they would sort it to accommodate us. Always pop in after a dog walk. The current owners have it spot on - traditional pub with real open fire, live music sometimes, friendly & welcoming staff. Hope these owners stay as they've certainly got it right. All food was amazing. Pool table, tv & dartboard great for the teenagers & men.

Went there yesterday for the first time and will definitely be going back. I had the cottage pie which was amazing and way underpriced @£14.95 as would have been happy to pay £18.95 in today’s market. Service and ambiance were also amazing and, had to buy some of their wonderful chocolates when leaving. Apparently they do fantastic afternoon tea so respectably suggest that the old fashion black and white uniform with aprons, like they wore in the old tea rooms might add to the charm . Im sure visiting Americans would love it. 😂😂

We were looking for a venue that would customise an Afternoon Tea as there's always too much cake. We struck gold with this place!! Some of the cakes were replaced with savoury bites and we added a few bowls of chips to the table. Ahmed and his team were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. A 60th birthday treat to remember. Would highly recommend!!!

Would of given 5 stars if I had a window seat but unfortunately either occupied or smaller table. Ordered club sandwich , all day breakfast and kids burger meal as pictured. It’s a 500 year old building so price is reflected in that . Served very quickly , maybe not as busy as normal due to people outside getting ready for Lichfield Barrow. Food is good quality.

Amazing experience staff are warm & welcoming great efficient service. Staff go above & beyond with sincere freindly service. Chloe was a delightful jolly server and definitely left a lasting impression I would highly recommend this resteraunt so much history & character. Overall Outstanding experience ✨️ 👌

I took a friend for a treat for afternoon tea having enjoyed a very nice breakfast at The Tudor cafe a month earlier. The terrace upstairs is very pleasant but on one of the hottest days of the year sadly the parasols were all locked away in the corner. Our afternoon tea consisted of 3 finger sandwiches each, which were pleasant enough, a nice scone with jam and clotted cream, a mini macaroon a mini Victoria sponge cake (mini being a small mouthful) and a chocolate of our choice as well as a small brownie. After the afternoon tea was served we were left. No cutlery, no napkins, no service! That was it. We had to go to the til several times to ask for extra milk or top ups of tea and it was not busy at all. Really disappointing. To top it off we were then charged for the extra pot of tea. At £20 a head for a standard afternoon tea I would have expected the tea to be flowing. Very poor service indeed….. up your game Tudor Cafe

We ate here with friends on a Saturday afternoon. Food was excellent and freshly cooked. Good portion sizes. Excellent service and friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Even brought some chocolates from the shop as a present.

Been coming here for years for afternoon teas for birthdays etc. we came here last month for my mother's birthday for the afternoon tea and was utterly disappointed. Firstly I must say the girl serving us was attentive and lovely so no fault there. The fault lay in the food itself, we had afternoon tea for 5 adults. One of us only eats cheese sandwichs which I let them know ahead of time. We ended up with 2 ham and tomato (one small piece of tomato on each) 4 cheese, 2 chicken mayo, and 6 tuna mayo. Less then 3 sandwich fingers each and not the lovely array of fillings like Cajun chicken etc as advertised online. Also when we asked about the drinks included we were told at the time 1 drink per person. Again not the 2 as advertised. My sister did phone after when we re looked online and noticed we were essentially short-changed and spoke to someone who said they would speak to the kitchen and get back to us....that was last month. Poor food, don't know their own menu and poor communication. It was wonderful the 1st few years we started coming then the last 2/3 years it's slowly gone downhill.

I hadn’t visited Qmin for a while, but really enjoyed my takeaway on Friday evening. I had Pink Salmon Tikka, which was delicious, plenty of spices and very moreish, a perfect starter. For the main I had one of my favourite dishes, Chicken Shatkora, I love the zingy, tangy taste of the shatkora rind, it came with lemon chilli rice which added an extra layer of ‘kick’ without being overwhelmingly spicy. The portions were large and it came with complimentary poppadums and pickles. The staff were very friendly, and I’ll definitely be popping back for a ‘sit down’ meal soon!

Another superb takeaway via Lichfield Eats app. I tried the North Indian Garlic Chilli and it is just incredible. Well done again chaps

I booked a table for twelve for my 60th birthday and asked for the tables to be laid out in a rectangle, rather than a long line, so that we could all chat more easily as a group. I wasn’t really expecting this to be possible so was delighted to find the table exactly as I had requested. The food was lovely, as always, and the service very friendly. There is more space around the tables so you don’t feel on top of the table next to you. We will be back!

I have been coming to this restaurant since I was little. 25 years later and it is still my favourite place. They serve the best food and have the friendliest staff. They really go above and beyond for their customers. Thank you for another lovely evening!

Qmin is the BEST Indian restaurants in Lichfield. The food there is fresh and delicious, opted for prawn puri as a starter (picture inserted below) it was soooo tasty, I loved it. I ordered a variety of curries and I must say they all tasted amazing, fresh and flavourful! To top it all, the service was excellent!!! Deffo recommend and Of course I will be returning again!

Lovely meal here on Friday; staff were excellent and service was spot on. Food delicious - proper Indian with real ingredients and superb flavour.

Great tasting food and friendly service. This is my first choice for Indian food in the city of Lichfield.

Delicious crepes, sweet or savoury would 100% come again just for the food, staff were so kind and lovely and the atmosphere was great too! Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved our visit today. Our server was lovely and the truffle fries were the best fries we've ever had! Definitely will love to visit again .

We have an annual meal here and it couldn’t be a more ideal setting. The food is beautiful and the staff are always accommodating of our ‘loud’ family and theatrics. The French onion soup was the best, but this has been overtaken by the pate this year (2025). Go at Christmas

Lovely sitting outside in sun enjoying a coffee. Live music was great to listen to. Vibrant atmosphere

Decent food, but shame about the service! Rushed to order; as we were taking too much time to choose what to have, we were told we only had the table we had booked for 90 minutes (the place wasn't full and this wasn't mentioned when we booked). Desert removed before we had finished. The place was quite empty by then but we really didn't feel wanted. We could have stayed longer and have had more drinks. We went to another place in same outlet. Prices are on the high side for what you get. Shame as the place came highly recommended by a friend, although recent reviews seem to indicate it's not what it used to be.

So delicious and authentic. Worth every penny!

Absolutely love this place. We go regularly for brunch. The sweet and savoury options are both delicious. Ensure to book. See you again soon!

Booked the bottomless brunch for 8pm last night. Since it’s changed from walkabout I wanted to give it a go. Had an amazing time here with my partner. Drinks were genuinely free-flowing thanks to our brilliant server Jack, who never let a glass run dry. The food was excellent, and despite the place being absolutely packed, service was quick and friendly throughout. The atmosphere was banging, DJ mixing some proper tunes. Perfect Saturday night vibes. Highly recommended!

Booked a bottomless brunch here and had a wonderful time. Our server Emma was very attentive and hospitable and made sure we always had everything we needed. The Brunch is good value for money too, would highly recommend. Thank you Emma!!

Amazing! Can't believe it's the same venue as before! Staff were so friendly and welcoming, they made our night out feel extra special. It was really busy but we still got served easily and it didn't feel too crowded to us. Shout out to the staff working their socks off to keep everyone happy - they smashed it! Already planning our next girls night here!

Great renovation and update to the ‘Laddie’ Walkabout. Much better feel to the place and they even do a fantastic breakfast for just £6. We’ve been twice for breakfast and it is great quality and good service. Also visited on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago and saw a singer who we think was on from about 4.30pm and that was also great. Did I mention the great breakfast?🤣🤣🤣

DO NOT PLAN YOUR PARTY THROUGH BAR HOME WARNING! THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LET YOU DOWN!!! In June I organised and paid this venue to hire their upstairs room in October for a party as I have seen many do this before. I had back and forth emails, loads of confirmation, I paid for decorations, baked cakes, sent out invites for my engagement party, a week prior my party I realised that they had changed hands- from walkabout to BAR HOME which I was never told about when I was having back and forth emails. So I thought no problem I will tell my guests the venue has changed hands and name and this is what it’s called this was fine. They also told me the venue was disabled friendly and it wasn’t. 2 weeks prior to the party I emailed asking if I could pay for the DJ which was an option- I paid £300 for a DJ which I thought was very reasonable and they took my money. I arrived at the venue for 5.30 ready to decorate and I walked in and noticed a small section by the front door with my name on it- a handful of tables. I was furious I went and spoke to the manager as I paid for a room and a DJ and had guests arriving in 30 minutes- they embarrassed me and I can’t tell you how upset I was. I had over 40 guests coming, family travelling from far and I’ve told them about a room and a DJ and paid for all these amazing decorations- I’ve sold them the dream and they’ve turned up to a busy bar full of drunk people spilling drinks all over them. They looked through all my emails, they said I should have been contacted but I was only contacted via email to confirm the ROOM HIRE. There was nothing I could do the party had to be in the small section of the busy area right by the front door. I spent most of the evening telling people not to sit there as it was a ‘private party’ but nobody was listening to me it was over crowded and nobody cared. Most of my guests including my mom and dad left early because of it being too much which I understand. The staff there tried their best to accommodate got me some Prosecco advised they would sort out the refund and served my guests quickly so there was nothing I could do, it wasn’t the party I had planned months for, I was upset disappointed frustrated- I am still so angry now. Please be cautious when you book anything at bar home aka walkabout make sure you keep all your confirmation and go and speak to someone face to face prior otherwise they will take your money and let you down.

OMG absolutely loved 🥰 food are really good and this place is magic now😍😍

Went out with my family really enjoyed our meal. Lovely atmosphere and a friendly welcome from staff. Very happy with the services will definitely be returning with family and friends in the future 😀

Lovely setting, food was really good. Had the breakfast naan, and Hash browns with bacon. Can tell the produce used is high quality. Bacon and sausages both amazing. Nice selection of drinks as well. Would highly recommend

I picked the Thyme Kitchen as it was a half way point on our journey from Teesside to The NEC and it didn't disappoint. I wanted a quirky little lunch stop with interesting menu options for brunch. We were welcomed in and the staff remembered we'd been travelling down for the booking which was nice. There were lots of other amenities on site in the old farm barn buildings which we'd been unaware of or we would have stopped longer such as a distillery and gallery. There was plenty of parking available and it was easy to find. Thyme Kitchen itself had a rustic but bright atmosphere, very homely! I chose the Chorizo and Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Eggs and it was delicious - my friend had the beef flatbread - a new seasonal dish. Just the right portion size and plenty of flavour. We then took away an apple and caramel cake - a little dry but very tasty. We would definitely return if we were travelling close by as it was friendly and relaxed with lots of options on the menu I'd love to try.

Beautiful venue, came in for breakfast, very relaxing atmosphere, staff were super helpful and we were given a lovely big table too which was helpful with the pushchair. Breakfast wasn’t to our taste sadly - a little too much flavour going on for an English brekkie for us! (£14) It was all cooked well though and the sourdough bread was delicious. We bought 4 slices of cake to take to the in-laws for afternoon tea. They didn’t have 2 options on the menu, so we went with 2 lemon drizzle, 1 carrot cake and chocolate marble cake at £4 a slice. They were all tasty.

Cosy and welcoming! Beautiful pub like setting which is very cosy and inviting! Delicious selection of brunch and breakfast options with lots to choose from. Their drinks selection is massive from matcha and coffees to wine and cocktails.

Fantastic food, service & surroundings. Our first time here but we will definitely be returning! I had the Persian eggs & my partner had the breakfast naan from the brunch menu; the flavours within the food were truly outstanding. We thought the portions looked small when they arrived but they were deceiving! We were both contently full by the end. It’s so apparent the chefs here are extremely experienced and knowledgeable, can’t wait to return and try some more of the dishes on offer!

My husband received a voucher for his birthday. As always the food was exceptional and good value for money. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a slight hiccup with our order but this was quickly rectified and we received a free hot drink by way of compensation. Thank you!

Nice place, good atmosphere and on the whole a positive visit - I think some of the negatives below were due to it being a busy time of day. The service wasn’t the best and the waitress seemed a bit overstretched so in the end had to go up and ask for the bill and to place our order as waiting a while. The children’s food came out quite a long time before ours - we started to think there might be a mistake as they were done and then bored waiting for us to eat ours. The kids breakfasts were good but one was missing the toast mentioned on the menu unless recently changed but was brought out quickly when asked. I think children would probably prefer normal baked beans, but nice for adults to be different. The muffin breakfast was an interesting concept but the muffin itself seemed a bit dry and maybe needed some butter, otherwise good quality ingredients and still an enjoyable meal. Veggie options good but my wife felt portion was a bit small for the price. Otherwise very enjoyable. Black americano just wasn’t how I’d have it - big cup diluted with too much water so little flavour but aware some people prefer it like that. Nice to have a long black option / lungo / smaller version with more flavour. Saying this will be nice to visit again and try other menu items at a quieter time of the day.

The very best pint of Guinness I have ever had in England. The place is ok and the service was good, cannot comment regarding the food as I only came in for a drink. The Guinness was simply superb. Poured properly and tasted so creamy and fantastic. Will be back to have that pint again

My friend and I found this pub whilst out for a walk. It is a traditional, warm and welcoming country pub. We decided to stay and have Sunday lunch. The service and food were both excellent, and such good value! The staff were friendly and helpful. We will certainly visit here again.

My daughter would like to leave a review: "This place is brilliant. Thank you for letting me come in. Burger was really, really nice and the chips. Can't wait for dessert. " I also did enjoy it too, steak and ale pie was gorgeous!

Normal pub, normal menu, average beer selection. Visited on a Sunday lunch, it was very quiet. The staff were very friendly. The roast was ample and good quality for the price.

Spare of the moment decision but enjoyed a family friendly relaxed atmosphere. The food was great.

3 of us had a great lunch here, fish & chips, burger & beef ciabatta. Perfect for lunch, freshly cooked, hot & very tasty, the fish was lovely, the 2 beef dishes were apparently delicious too. We finished with yummy chocolate brownies. We had wine & Guinness, all served perfectly. Prices were so reasonable, the staff were lovely, & there was a really nice atmosphere in the pub- we will definitely eat here again, & I’ve already suggested it to friends as a great place to eat.

Fish and chip Friday excellent…. Lovely food, staff brilliant and so friendly.
