The 30 best bars and drinks in Lichfield

We went for a late Wednesday lunch with no booking. There was plenty of space to park but double check regarding price. Great outdoor space for warm days. There a roaring fire on one side of the pub. Lovely staffs as they call out to us when we walk in. We place our order at the pub with our table numbers. It was 20min wait and one of the order came out wrong, the manager apologise and we got a free beer as apology. It is a lovely place and we will go again. The only lack was when we finish our meal it did take 30min for them to notice before they took our plate away.

Came to The Bowling Green on Saturday 12th July 2025 for Lunch. 12:00 table booked. Plenty of car parking at that time. Need to ensure you enter your car registration inside to get free parking. Despite the nice weather, we dined inside, was nice and fresh and temperature was just right. Emma who served us was really nice, welcoming and friendly. We ordered drinks and then the food. The waiting time was ok. Food was plentiful and well presented and most importantly tasted really nice. Highly recommend.

A bit of a date night for me and the Mrs — we were really looking forward to it. The place looked great from the outside and just as nice inside. Drinks were on the expensive side, but it matched the overall classy atmosphere of the building. Now, onto the food… I was expecting higher-than-normal standards given the look and busy vibe of the place. Unfortunately, my steak was fatty and undercooked. I know everyone has their own preference, but when I ask for well-done, I expect it to come that way. That alone wouldn’t have made me leave a review, but the chips — yes, the chips — were the real letdown. I’ve honestly had better from my local chippy. How can you undercook chips? It’s a bit embarrassing, really. So, even though the plate looked good, the actual quality of the cooking was well below par. Hence the score of 1. Lesson learned — and we move on

Lovely food, staff were attentive and happy to help. Our server Emma was very nice. Would recommend.

We booked a table for tonight, Saturday August 23rd. When we arrived we went to our reserved table and ordered food and drinks at the bar. I had the signature steak & Guinness pie with mash' veg and gravy. I absolutely loved it, very tasty, hot and well presented. The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was good. Will definitely return here as the food and service was outstanding! Emily and Sam were very friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely meal absolutely spot on. Both the bar and waiting staff were professional, friendly and polite. We turned up without booking and got a table no probs. It was lovely to see it so busy and as there was a pub quiz there was hardly empty tables which is great to see especially mid week. Would highly recommend.

Great pub, food was lovely. The lighting is very dark and lots of the tables and chairs are very high up (bar stools and tables) great if your tall but not if your short! Barman found us a normal table thank goodness. Would definitely visit again, but would make sure when booking we get a normal table.

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.

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

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.

My partner and I made a spur of the moment decision to treat ourselves to lunch whilst in Lichfield shopping. There was no contest for what eatery to visit. It had to be the Kings Head, his favourite pub in his youth, and I think still is. The place was cosy and welcoming. Bar staff were friendly. We found a table with comfy seats, by the window so we could people watch, although it seemed a slow day in the city. Hubby went to the bar and got us a drink each, served by a friendly barman. Seated comfortably near the fireplace we perused the menu. There seemed to be enough range for any appetite. Our order of food arrived, and it was well presented, tasty great value and a generous portion. We only had room for one course, but a great choice of menu, value for money, tasty beer, and a pop for me, the driver, and the inviting atmosphere all mean we will be back again soon.

A lovely historical pub with friendly staff. Went in for Sunday roast. The beef was a bit tough but all the trimmings were great, excellent ale. Enjoyed the atmosphere and decorations very much! Will definitely come back 👍😊

Have been coming here for many years. Food now is excellent and appears to been freshly cooked on site. None of the processed food from Brakes. Have always ordered beers, ciders or wine. On this occasion I ordered 20oz of Pepsi Max without ice as confirmed on the receipt. However was only served 14oz, and all the bar staff refused to top the glass up. Apparently it is Marston's policy that only 14oz should be served with 6oz of solidified water to make it up to 20oz.

Second time visiting the kings head on a Monday. Me and my partner both had seniors meal plus desert. Both times food excellent. Service is great. The lads that were both serving food and drinks are a god send. Lovely atmosphere as well and prices very reasonable. Will definitely be back again.

I haven't eaten at this venue. But as a military fan this pub is brilliant. A place where the South Staffordshire Regt was formed. You can feel the history. A true traditional pub. Wheelchair friendly A good choice of drinks. Well worth a visit.

I visit this pub frequently. Great atmosphere, feels safe and welcoming. Very traditional British pub filled with lots of history and memorabilia. Staff are all friendly and kind. Drinks are good. Sunday Roast lunch is fantastic. Ladies bathroom is always spotlessly clean.

Excellent atmosphere, it was jam packed on a Saturday afternoon with a couple of large parties in attendance. All of the staff were very pleasant, polite and delivered excellent service. Our chosen venue for this years New Years Eve celebrations. Definitely one of Lichfield's revived go to social venues.

Brilliant pub Beautiful ales Excellent snacks pork pies Baps cheese and onion etc Come and try 😊👍🍻 Excellent pub

Quiet when we went on a Monday afternoon. Lovely beer garden with enough shade to protect customers from the hot sun. Toilet facilities are really nice. Pub gets really busy at weekends and evenings, so be prepared to stand and wait for a while to be served. Excellent Real ale selection. Dog friendly in bar area and beer garden.

I visited the pub today. I was landlady here July 2001 what an amazing transformation the pub has had. Looks amazing. The beer garden is fantastic. Great pint of Pedigree. Staff and landlird were the perfect hosts. Great place for an afternoon drink. Will definitely return again when on the area. I live in sw Spain and miss good old English pubs.

A lovely pub, we had our dogs in tow but it’s a dog friendly place, a warm welcome and quick friendly service is always a nice start. We sat in the very nice garden area at the back, nice composite decking, very pleasant. We didn’t eat this time but may do when we return. Noticed live Sky footy in part of the main pub. When staff are so nice and attentive you rarely go wrong. We’ll done Horse & Jockey

Sunday lunch was an absolute disaster. Raw veg, black edges in the cabbage, parsnips you couldn’t cut through. Chewy Yorkshires too. Added to the fact the floors are filthy and the staff aren’t arsed, we will not be coming back here. And based on the car park a lot of other people have also made that decision.

Lunch here yesterday. I ordered meatless gyros and both friends ordered the fish and chip special. Food was amazing so fresh delicious and generous portions. Friendly staff and armosphere. Will be returing again and will recommend to friends!

Classy, good service, lovely beer garden, and very friendly staff including the two door men.

A great find in middle of Lichfield. Some loverly beers on offer. If you do a search on Google the photo of this pub is wrong, but write up is ok.

Lovely small pub. Good selection of beer and friendly staff

Great little pub, been in here a few times on a Saturday evening. Always seems to be buzzing. It’s an old small pub so can get packed. Good selection of drinks. They do food too, but I haven’t eaten there. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Needs to be visited.

The atmosphere is nice, quiet and cosy and has lovely décor, but the staff are really rude and unwelcoming. Such a shame considering it has a wonderful atmosphere.

What a marvellous find, a trip back to the day when pubs were pubs, something that Joules seem to do so well. We'll return, find a b & b and spend a session here, what a glorious little gem.

We was in Lichfield for a concert and spent th afternoon on the sesh. This was out first stop and it was like hitting the jackpot on the first throw of the dice. A unique place, with great beers and superb bar snack options. The lad serving was a gentleman waiting for us patiently to go through our options and poured them and said he'd bring them over. We also had some butties, a porkie pie and scotch egg which was served on a slate beautifully. The inside is just unique, a wholesome enjoyable place. So much so we returned after the concert and again the staff serving were pleasant laughing over barmcake/cob dialect and just a real nice place , with nice people and atmosphere amongst the light entertainment from the singer in the background. Superb

Joules brewery pub, with a small sample of their range. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I love relaxing in this pub, it's got a certain ambiance. Not really sure what it is. No TVs helps maybe..

Excellent rustic pub with a large summer garden at the back.

Proper pub. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Good choice of beers and gins. Food is not always available, but sometimes there are cobs. Crisps are on offer.

Awful service and awful noise. The lounge bar was not busy but we were served by rude staff. We felt like they were annoyed at us ordering drinks. We were then told we had to leave at 6pm because we had under 18s with us/ if we had known we would not have bothered going in. luckily we had already decided to leave as there was a very loud person making noise with a guitar and harmonica who was awful. No discussion, no debate, we were told to leave. The only thing we were happy about was leaving.

Nice pub with a great authentic look but the real ale wasn't the best. It's still worth a visit and has a beer garden.

A great Joules Brewery pub. A fantastic vibe. Great beer. Big beer garden. My favourite pub in Lichfield

Visited on 3 occasions and ordered a pint of Joules pale ale on cask. Everytime it's been stale - tastes vinegar. Didn't taste like they had an aspirator (good) but having 4 or 5 casks on the go when you simply don't have the volume (bad). Very disappointing as I've yet to have a decent pint of Joules anywhere.

Love this pub. Love the Guiness, love the pies and scotch eggs. Atmosphere is nice. Looking forward to a visit in winter

Called in on Sunday evening as we were staying at the premier inn less than one minutes walk away .First impression was a lovely warm welcome by the landlady and some of her local clientele.we Immediately felt that this was a good choice.there was a good selection of beers available.Having seen on another review they had pork pies I asked if we could have one ,unfortunately they were unavailable (it was late evening on a Sunday)But we were offered the cheese platter as an alternative.this was an excellent choice especially the cheese with Gin,Later crisps & pork scratchings also with more beer.There had been live music earlier in the evening.Also we were told there would be fish & chips on Monday.. If we lived here it would be definitely our local.Thank you to Ben the friendly bar tender & the young lady that I thought was a member of staff for the entertaining evening the good choice of music and the other locals that gave the pub an excellent atmosphere.

Super friendly pub. Lovely staff. It's currently in the process of being redecorated and looking really good. Very dog friendly. Our dog loved it, and it's frequented regularly by singing legend Tony Christie who was in there when we visited!

What an incredible pub. The landlady is wonderful and really knowledgeable. The beer is kept in very good condition. A very welcoming and hospitable environment with really fast efficient service. A really strong customer focused experience. The landlady is so friendly and welcoming, I would really recommend a visit and a chat with her.

Popped in for a couple of drinks. Andrea was very friendly and the beer garden was fab. Thoroughly recommend a visit

Well without banging on this pub is just awesome. Andrea has turned this pub around, it has atmosphere, great beer, and you can't fault the baps. When you walk in the greeting is always the same a warm smile, it always feels like you have been away and you have come back to your family. This is a must visit in Lichfield you will not be disappointed in any shape or form.

Lovely warm and welcoming Marstons pub in Queens Street in Lichfield, no food but tasty Cobs, Pork Pie and coffee are available. Very friendly and chatty bar staff. There is a sun trap of a beer garden alongside with plenty of tables and chairs. A hidden gem of a pub, well worth a visit.

Met up with a few friends as we were on our way out and stumbled across this gem of a pub! We nipped in as the intention was to start our night with a quick pint but ended up staying for what can only be... more than expected! We even joined in with the quiz and lost but it was a right laugh and I think the manager was called Andrea? Apologies if im wrong but she was an amazing host to not just what must be the regulars but also to us! Definitely be back and hopefully win the quiz? Maybe? Lol Thank you once again!

Used to love coming here when I came over to Lichfield however last night (15/03/25) I had a different experience. I am a 22 year old female and I was pushed to the floor and punched across the face by a grown man on the dance-floor, the man was escorted out and me and my friends was also kicked out after we did nothing wrong. I asked to speak to the manager and got told no, not once did a bouncer ask me if I was okay whilst we was waiting for the police (which we had to call ourselves) and when I was trying to explain what happened to the bouncer he was looking around everywhere not even listening. I always thought bouncers was supposed to make you feel safe and I thought pubs had a duty of care but this definitely wasn’t the case last night and I will not be returning.

Now a place for young clientele...was a lovely night out for us mature lot,sadly it's gone downhill, don't bother if your 35 and over and happy drinking out of a plastic jug!! We walked in and walked back out...This is a pub not a festival field,!!! but obviously there as been too much trouble to use glasses at night..

good oldy pub,reasonable priced beer and food well worth a visit

Was looked after by Summer & Molly. An absolutely wonderful pair who honestly bring the kind of atmosphere you want for a proper pub. Full credit to them & PLEASE someone give them a raise/promotion!

Fantastic food, friendly staff, reasonably priced... We will be back.... Loved it

Very busy place in a wonderful city. Beer was excellent. Staff were officiant. Beer prices were good. Well worth a visit if you're a drinker.

Did not eat but had a few drinks outside in the hot weather. Nice place.

A few if us stopped here for drinks before dinner. Our waiter was very friendly. The atmosphere was similar to a speakeasy but not hidden. Very comfy seating. I got a gin julep type drink- It had lots of ice on top - I feel it could have had more drink.

Love this bar, fairly easy to get a table, nice staff and reasonably priced cocktails with amazing variety. Love the decor and love that its table service.

Stumbled across this beauty of a cocktail bar after lunch with friends. Service from the staff was excellent and the cocktails were a dream. I went for the Negroni Rose - so good!

Imaginative and funky cocktail bar. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great music and great drinks!

This place is quite simply brilliant. It's classy, it's quirky, it's fun and - for what it is - it is not at all expensive. Greeted warmly at the door, shown to a table, great drinks menu and table service from friendly and efficient staff. Everything was slick and professional whilst being super friendly. Beautifully decorated and furnished room and with the perfect music it felt like we were in an up-market Chicago speakeasy in the days of prohibition. We only went in for one quick drink but ended up staying for three whilst working out how we could find an excuse to come back to Lichfield in order to revisit The Spiritualist.

Booked beer tasting experience. Amazing Venue, incredible Value and perfect vibe. A place not to be missed.

I usually really like this bar and have had plenty of good experiences here, but my last visit was honestly disappointing. I booked a table with some friends who hadn’t ever been to the spiritualist. I’d told them about how brilliant all of my last visits had been and they were really looking forward to going. However, it was definitely not the best first impression. It wasn’t even busy, yet we waited over 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. In that time, a couple who sat down after us had already received their drinks, finished them, and left. The staff were polite and friendly as always, but the service was painfully slow and unorganized. It’s a shame because this place is normally great — hopefully this was just an off night, but it definitely put me off coming for a while.

We visited on a quiet Wednesday evening and really enjoyed the setting. The interior design and music created a warm, relaxed atmosphere and the service was excellent - friendly, polite, and made us feel very welcome. We ordered three tapas dishes along with a beer and a cocktail, which came to £45. The food was nicely presented and tasted good, though quite familiar – nothing particularly unique compared to other tapas we’ve had in the UK. While we enjoyed what we had and didn’t expect to be full up, we did leave feeling a bit peckish, so the value felt slightly underwhelming for what we received. That said, it’s a lovely place with great service and a nice vibe. We had a pleasant evening overall, just something to keep in mind if you’re after something more filling or looking for standout flavours.

I absolutely loved my visit here and I will definitely be back soon! I visited recently when it was incredibly warm and as soon as we were seated, we were given a cold glass of water and greeted by with lovely smiles by all members of staff. The food was absolutely incredible and so tasty. I would recommend everything we ate but the charcuterie board was lovely. We had a lovely bottle of wine and the staff came and poured more when our glasses were low. It was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to come back!

We attended on a Saturday evening, and it was busy. We tried to reserve a table a couple of weeks in advance for 4 of us but they don’t do reservations for less than 6 people. We arrived and didn’t get a table for around an hour but were told it would only take 25 mins. It sounded like the waiter got confused that there was a table for us but that one ended up being reserved so we had to wait for another table to leave. Not ideal but understand the situation - I would much prefer to be able to book a table than the risk of waiting to get one. This may put me off going to Poquito again if I’m going on a weekend! The service wasn’t super attentive, everyone just seemed pretty busy / rushed off their feet, so we were served by lots of different people - again one of those things going on a Saturday. In terms of the cocktails and food, it was excellent. I couldn’t fault the taste and quality, it was very good. The only negative I would have to say was that the portion sizes were really really small, even for tapas style dishes. Overall we had a really nice time and the food was super super good, just ashame about the reservation situation! Thanks

This place has amazing vibes, ...energy is welcoming, friendly, classy but also buzzing. On our arrival we were seated at the bar where we got out drinks and pre-ordered mixture of tapas. Staff is very attentive, and checking you got everything you need. Once table got available we were seated. Place is on smaller size but stil feels there were few groups of people. Food was fresh, light and tasty. Will definitely go back as I want to taste other dishes. Shame they are on other side of Birmingham as I would definitely be going there today for Sunday lunch. Keep doing what you are doing as it's very unique and authentic place ♥️

Excellent experience from start to finish. Staff welcoming and efficient. Small place nicely decorated. Food utterly superb. Drinks spot on. And all at a really sensible price. We are already trying to think of a reason to travel back to Lichfield so we can go here again.

Fantastic Spanish restaurant in the heart of Lichfield, waiter Harry was excellent, the Rioja the same. The food was outstanding, the platter to start was fantastic, Harry sorted it to add extras, lots of meats and cheeses, however the highlight was the belly pork, simply stunning. Will definitely be visiting again

Really love this new bar, it offers a nice atmosphere and it's perfect for Lichfield. We needed a wine/cocktail bar that is not just a pub, the food is great too, you can stay there for hours drinking good wine and cocktails and eating small plates! Will return.

I went here for the first time on Friday and had an absolute blast. The food and drinks were unreal (and generous portions!) and every single staff member was SO friendly. I have a 5 month old puppy so I’m always wary of places that claim to be ‘dog friendly’ but this place was great and there were plenty of other happy dogs having a great time with their owners too. I’ll definitely be back and making my way through both the food menu and drinks menu!

What a nice place with a fantastic service! Especially Ant, who made this lunch a little party. Portions are enormous and the food tastes really nice. It was a very hot day, what made the restaurant a bit to warm inside. Could use some fans or airconditioning. But overal we had a fantastic experience with a delicious surprise for our birthday boys.

I recently visited this pub after hearing about their incredible skewers, and it certainly lived up to expectations. They offer a wide variety of options, which was the main reason I wanted to go, and I was not disappointed. I chose the chorizo and chicken skewer, which was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavour. The portion size was also very generous, making it a really satisfying meal. To go alongside it, I ordered the truffle fries, which were packed with flavour, and the chilli halloumi fries, which were equally delicious with just the right kick of spice. The food felt well thought out and prepared with care, and everything came together to create a really enjoyable dining experience. The cocktails were another highlight. Beautifully presented and full of flavour, they made the meal feel extra special and added to the relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The pub itself is very pretty, with lovely décor and even a cherry blossom tree inside, which gives it a unique and inviting feel. The staff were polite and attentive throughout, making us feel very welcome. The portions were so generous that we couldn’t finish everything, but the team happily packaged it up for us to take home.

Very nice place, we went for a birthday dinner and pre ordered a duck bath cocktail, would've had 5 stars but the trio of burgers wasnt hot it was just warm, chips was lovely

We came for lunch on my daughter's 18th birthday. This was my 2nd time visiting after a friend introduced me to the place for my birthday in January. The food and drinks were great but the service was slow. We were a little early at 11.55am for a 12pm lunch and were the first party to be welcomed after a wait. We were shown our table in front of the fireplace but the balloons I paid £9.50 extra for, weren't at the table and I had to go and ask for them. They did apologise and bring them over but it would've been nice for my daughter to arrive to the table with them in place. Our drinks order was then taken and food was ordered when they arrived. We eventually received our food at 1pm. Our server was very friendly but we did feel a bit forgotten about at times. The large party on a nearby table even managed to eat and leave before we got the dessert menu. I then ordered drinks from the app on the table before our server came to ask about desserts. He was very kind and brought a surprise birthday ice cream over for my daughter when dessert arrived. I wouldn't let it deter me from returning again though because the food was so nice!

Just popped in for lunch this afternoon. Been past this pub a few times but never had the chance to pop in. Well today we did and was not disappointed. Ambiance was really nice, staff very friendly and helpful. And my fish and chips were bloody lovely. Lovely place. Definitely go again for an evening meal.

Nice food and good environment, our waiter who i think was called Ant was very good and friendly...... only fault is pavement is tricky and took a long time to sort out ....

Fab night with a couple of friends. Lovely, hot meal and great atmosphere. We noticed people playing a game on a couple of tables. The landlord very kindly invited us over to play and showed us the ropes so to speak. We ended up staying all evening playing game after game. Great company and thanks for introducing us to Carrooka! We’ll be back!

Didn’t have food but feels harsh to leave no stars for that. Loved the darts set up, great service and enjoyed the board game selection too. Met Sean and Lisa, and they were really lovely and got us to play a new game. Will come again 10/10

It’s always a pleasure to visit this Pub for a meal or just a drink. Family run business and they all make you feel very welcome. We bring a dog and always welcome with water and biscuits ready. I recommend the meals and especially recommend the fish and chips, they are best. Carol

Pleasant pub, clean and tidy. Had a nice chicken salad here. Didn't have a beer as I was driving, although there was a decent beer selection.

Had a lovely family meal, service was quick & well presented with a smile & friendly staff.

We had such a disappointing experience. The bartender actually said to us, “Can you start drinking up?” — simply because they didn’t like the time! We hadn’t realised how late it was, and we never intended to overstay or be rude. We’d had some food and drinks, weren’t loud or drunk, and there had been no polite warning like “last orders” or “we’re closing soon,” which you’d expect from a normal bar. Instead, we were hit with this sarcastic comment, which felt completely unnecessary and unprofessional. It really spoiled what had been an otherwise nice evening. Edit: Since you responded but still haven’t offered an apology, no — it is not harsh at all. As I said, we were not loud, rude, or trying to overstay — we simply hadn’t realised the time. A polite reminder such as, “Sorry, we are closing in 10 minutes,” would have been enough for us to finish our drinks and leave without issue. Instead, the comment we received came across as aggressive and unnecessarily rude — as if we were being told off — and when we tried to explain how it made us feel, we were met with more arguing rather than a simple apology. That turned what could have been a minor misunderstanding into an unnecessarily unpleasant situation. We still left by 23:05, so we weren’t lingering or keeping staff late. Was five minutes really worth an argument with paying customers? We understand that closing time needs to be respected, but the way customers are spoken to matters. A little politeness would have avoided this review entirely.

I've lived near the Turnpike for 19 years and over those years it's been hit and miss with the kitchen being closed and the quality of the food not being so good. I visited earlier and was pleased to see it was fairly busy for 6pm on a Tuesday. I ordered chicken wings, loaded fries and a Thai vegetable curry, with drinks: You can either order at the bar or via your phone. The food was delivered to the table after a short wait; it was hot and tasty. There are different food and drink promotions on every day and entertainment events such as Music Bingo and open mic nights: Things are definitely on the up! A huge thanks to the new managers; you're doing a great job.

Absolutely gorgeously made cocktails. I need to do a big shout out to the most wonderful cocktail master Ellie! Thank you for making our time super special

First time visit during the afternoon on a Saturday. Super cool vibe with great music, quality cocktails and friendly service

Ellie and Phoebe are fab - great team behind the bar and the best cocktails… had jam donut, biscoff and nurses nectar - gotta come back for more!

We came to le reves tonight and the cocktails were incredible. Izzy served us and was full of energy and absolutely make our experience. Can’t wait to return! X

Ellie, absolute amazing waitress! Really love her and omg the cocktails she suggested us was BANGING! I will 100% be coming back here for not only the cocktails but to have a great chat with this lovely girl 😍

Called into La Reve for drinks late Saturday afternoon. Were served by Ellie who was very friendly and made my husband and I two really good cocktails. Tasted great and presentation was superb. Will definitely be back.

My family & I came in for Mother’s Day drinks. We were served by Elle, and she was super friendly, attentive and Soo nice! The cocktails she made were superb! Couldn’t ask for anything better 👌🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great place, great setting, nice decor with plenty of seating. There are board games for the kid in you. The selection of drinks is brilliant and the food is amazing, will definetly be going back.

Get yourself down there to support local business, local beer, and Lichfield. This place is going to be huge. Can't wait to return - already planning my next visit! Visited: VIP Launch Party Atmosphere: Buzzing Value: Excellent Recommendation: Absolutely!

I thoroughly recommend this place. Family friendly, dog friendly, fantastic food and drinks, plus free parking. The food is simply superb. The flavours are divine. The technique is faultless. The menu changes a bit now and then so there is a good variation of food. Love the triple IPA and the Pilsner. It's warm enough even in the cold winter.

Fantastic new venue in Lichfield! Great selection of drinks on draft. Plus bar games, lots of scheduled events, different food vendors and live music. A must visit.

Amazing food, awesome drinks, great venue and everyone is very friendly. Highly recommend.

The cider was good the atmosphere was great and the brewing equipment was on full display which I liked . Go check it out ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I didn't think it could get any better but it did!!! They now do BBQ and it's ABSOLUTELY BANGIN!!!!

Great place to sit in and have a few locally brewed craft ales. Nice mix of pales, IPAs and darker beers, plus a sour which went down rather well. Some alternatives to beer also available, but i didn't look too closey at them. Plenty of seating on benches at long tables or very comfy sofas, with blankets for the colder nights. There's even a few large screens (showing the rugby on Prime when I visited) and table / bar football for added entertainment. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great local club, we came to see a band playing there for Christmas 🎄 so the atmosphere was amazing. Inside there is a pool table and darts boards that I could see which is a nice addition for entertainment when you're out. The decoration I side is clean and modern and is a big space to enjoy withfriends. Not only that the bar is well stocked and cheap 😉 Members and non-members are welcome ☺

Nice club with friendly members and have a fantastic band called 'Threes Company ' playing there occasionally 😜‼️

Friendly staff & locals. Overall a good atmosphere if you want to go for a quiet drink. Not sure why the other reviewer was slating the beer. I've never had a bad pint!

Had a fantastic night with friends and family, the singer just Den was brilliant 👏 the staff and regulars were very friendly and welcoming and the beers and crusty cobs were fantastic 😀 10 /10 we will be back 👍🍺🍺

Lovely club, lovely friendly professional staff. Definitely worth joining this club if you live locally.

Great place, good choice of drinks and the best pool table of any pub in Lichfield. Staff are welcoming and it's a relaxed friendly atmosphere 👍

Really friendly welcoming place. Have been a few times now and will be becoming a member soon. Try it, you won't regret it.

Highly recommend Ricco &Loren. My favourite bar in Lichfield. The staff are really friendly and polite. The toilets are always clean and maintained well. The cocktails are top quality and very reasonably priced. Music is always good. You’re guaranteed to have a nice night in here. Definitely give it a try

We would just like to say a massive thank you, we have a great night for my mother in laws 65th birthday. An absolute great atmosphere and was made to feel very welcome.

Excellent cocktail 🍸 bar in the heart of Lichfield, cracking selection of cocktails that are made expertly. The staff are also extremely friendly

Ricco & Loren is a must-visit for cocktail enthusiasts seeking a truly memorable experience. Its attention to detail, exceptional service, and exquisite cocktails make it a shining gem in the Lichfield bar scene. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a sophisticated and enjoyable night out.

We held my husbands surprise 40th birthday party here with about 60 family and friends. Ross and his team were incredibly helpful and made it so special. I can’t recommend this venue highly enough for private functions. They bent over backwards to facilitate everything we needed. It’s a beautiful place, everyone commented how stylish it is. Thank you so much.

Lovely welcoming Bar 🍸 🍻 the staff were lovely and welcoming 🙏 😀 the drinks were fantastic and reasonably priced it had a great atmosphere 😀 also do fantastic cocktails 🍸 we will definitely be going back 😀 10/10 well done to all cheers 👍

These people couldn’t do enough for us. We were a large group visiting and through emailing them to dealing with them face to face, they were just super helpful. We had a fab time there.

Went Saturday afternoon for a quiet drink prices are same as most public houses so not bad the decor is like a night club, got a bit noisy when a group of 8 men came in but apart from that will go again

Food was great. Milk for tea was served in a small cup instead of a jug. Had to ask for lunchtime menus although it was 12.45. The disabled toilet very disappointing needed a complete overall.

We decided to have our lunch here and was pleased that we did. The food was excellent. Good menu to choose from and prices reasonable.

Very pleased to see this place turned around, new name, new management and staff.. Very friendly, good food 😋 even looked after our fur baby with water and dog biscuits 🐶

We have been to Eden Bar in Lichfield today ( Saturday August 3rd) we had a lovely meal at lunch time( home made chips 😋) service was excellent and the staff where very pleasant, would highly recommend

Huge congratulations to Adam and the team for their beautiful cocktail bar. Great atmosphere, amazing service and a beautiful high end venue Lichfield can be proud of. Wishing you every success - from your neighbours at Megaslots Casino.

Great venue. Fully accessible. Club feel. Big hearted, hosting local charity events.

We always come to the Bulls Head when we’re celebrating as you can always guarantee a friendly welcome, excellent food and amazing service. Love it when Amanda serves us - she’s so friendly and always remembers us and she’s very attentive. Would recommend the Bulls Head to anyone - my favourite place to eat!

Visited here yesterday 29.08.25 19.30 table booked. A busy pub which in itself shouts out quality and wuality you receive ten fold. What a lovely setting. The layout of the pub has a cosy feel to it, giving a sense of privacy within each seating area. The service is spot on, efficient and effective. The staff ae welcoming and quick to help. The food is on point. The toilets, yes the toilets are at a high standard of cleanliness. As well as this, there is outside seating too. Thank you for such a lovely evening.

Great service from Amanda, would of liked the veg to be a little softer and the roasters and parsnips to be roasted to crispy on the outside fluffy in the middle, broccoli also very tough. Meats a little on the cheap and fatty side. For the price the standard of food isn't great. Luckily the service from Amanda more than made up for the food. I know people like veg al dente but the broccoli felt like it had a 5 second dip in luke warm water. Food was well presented and desert was lovely.

Emily was so lovely, very welcoming, we weren’t left waiting, she had taking our orders timed perfectly. Very friendly and chatted to us, an asset to your establishment. Food was amazing and so were the drinks, would definitely come back ❤️

We visited the Bull’s head last weekend for a Sunday roast, and it didn’t disappoint! Between our group we ordered the lamb, beef and pork belly roasts (see pics attached). The service from our waitress Katie was genuinely the best we’ve ever experienced. She was so friendly and smiley and she couldn’t do enough for us. We took my Nan who has dementia and she dealt with her very well by offering smaller portions of meals and some light hearted jokes. Honestly if you go to the Bull’s Head and have the privilege of having Katie serve you, you’re in luck! Thank you to the chefs for the wonderful meal and all the staff and a big thank you to Katie :-)

food and staff were extremely lovely and amazing. the kits curry was delicious

Delicious food , the triple cooked chips are so yummy , I recommend the fish n chips. Friendly staff, quick service , very clean ,dog friendly, dog bowls as front door Just make sure u read Ur vouchers correctly on the app

Group of 3 adults. We came in especially for the Tom Shepherd Pie. It did not disappoint we all thoroughly enjoyed it not just the pie but the whole meal. Those carrots were top notch. The 40% off was an added bonus. Our server Millie was very attentive which added to the overall experience

We had a great experience at Inkwell recently. We attended the launch of the best pub pie by Chef Tom Shepherd. It was a great night and the pie was incredible. The pub itself was cosy, warm and clean. Staff were incredibly attentive especially Millie who would ensure we had everything we needed. If you get a chance to try the pie (limited time only) I recommend you give it a go.

Rich was very welcoming and comical, which really made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was lovely, Toni and staff were friendly, and the service was quick. The food overall was great – the only slight downside was that the steak could have done with a little longer and was quite fatty. Other than that, we had a really good time and would happily return!

Rich was amazing, made sure everything was catered for! The added humour really made our night. The food, drinks and dessert made the perfect pre- birthday treat!

Great food, service & price. We chose the Sunday roast which is not something we would normally do but we made a good decision! Our waitress this evening was Jamie, who had served me at previous visit. She is very polite & professional. We shall definitely be visiting again soon.

Glad I found this pub tucked away near Waitrose. Varied menu which has pub classics and less usual dishes like flatbreads. It was 80% full on a Saturday evening and the food came in good time. I loved that it wasn't too noisy to talk but had a good atmosphere. Stylish, homely decor. Lost one star as the quality of service could have been better - clearing plates, asking for drinks, a bit friendlier - some training required ☺️

Lovely food, great mid week set menu that is a very decent price. We were served by Chloe who was friendly and very attentive, which was wonderful. We'll be coming back again soon I'm sure!

Great day out. Took the family for breakfast and the kids loved it so much we stayed until dinner. Great little park for the kids, amazing choice of food, especially the carvery which was my fav. Very clean and great presentation of food, the staff were all friendly and helpful. Will be returning, also found out they do takeaway and delivery options so even on days i cant travel i can still eat well

A place where history, taste, and tradition meet – The Pretty Pigs I’ve visited Pretty Pigs many times over the years, and each time I notice something new – whether it’s the food, the setting, or the warm atmosphere. The moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into another era. The scent that greets you as you enter isn’t just traditional – it’s deeply nostalgic. It flows from the kitchen and wraps around you like a memory, like walking into your grandmother’s home on a Sunday afternoon. It carries the warmth of slow-roasted meats, cooked in the way they once were – in stone ovens, over gentle heat, with patience and love. It’s the aroma of a time gone by, of heritage, of real home-cooked food the way it used to be. The solid wooden beams and heavy rustic tables surround you… and you just sink into it. If the staff wore traditional outfits from 100 years ago — the kind that reflect their cultural heritage — you might truly feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. The carvery is generous – beautifully cooked meats, carved fresh in front of you, with unlimited vegetables and sides. For around £10, you don’t just get a meal – you get a moment of joy and satisfaction. They also offer à la carte options, including pizza, but the traditional part is where the true heart of the place lives. And the garden… when the weather is nice, you can sit outside surrounded by greenery and calm. It feels like you’re off the old English road, far from the noise of everyday life. I go there often – not just to eat, but also as a delivery driver. And each time, whether I’m picking up or sitting down for a meal, I feel the same warmth and authenticity. Highly recommended.

Food was all good but some of it not quite warm enough. Typical carvery. Fairly busy for a Wednesday lunchtime when you consider it's out of the way. Large car park opposite pub. Staff polite and attentive. Would definitely go again.

The Pretty Pigs Stone House is a true gem. The wonderful, lovely staff are warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to accommodate my dog. The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with flavour and perfectly prepared. Even the bar server radiated a genuine, good-hearted vibe. Booby even made a special plate of scraps for my dog, he’s a legend!!!!. The cozy, inviting atmosphere combined with excellent service makes it a perfect spot for families and pet owners alike. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place for great food, friendly service, and a dog-friendly atmosphere.

We went this time for a children's pizza party. Mandy who coordinated the party was brilliant. The atmosphere for the group of young children was excellent and Mandy ensured everybody was involved. I would highly recommend Mandy and The Pretty Pigs for a Pizza Party. Different and highly enjoyable

Amazing! We went today after the refurb and what a change! Food a nice - My grandma wanted something that was no on the Sunday menu, they accommodated with no question! What a transformation the pub has had! Well done! The pub needs to get its name out there let the locals know you’re back in business! The refurb has bought a new lease of life to the pub!

Has such an amazing experience here, staff are lovely and welcoming. We had burgers, carvery and kids dippers. Everything tasted lovely. Kids also loved having a run around and play in the park. Great place, one of our favourite places to eat

I can't fault the food, it was quiet for a bank holiday, the prawn cocktail I had was amazing, the staff were nice enough. But here's where my negative review comes from, (And before I get a reply saying you should have brought this up at the time, it shouldn't have been an issue for me to raise ! Please go look over the high chairs ) My 8 month old is sticking everything in her mouth as they do, which is why she ate sat on my lap, not ideal, and not in a high chair because I was given a high chair that still had the last kids macaroni cheese stuck to the seat, and imbedded food on the straps that she would have been touching.

First visit and was really impressed. The menu was varied, and the food was good. Customer service was very good 👍. Decor clean and well maintained, looks like it has had a recent upgrade.

We arrived a few mins before our booked time slot of 2 pm and were greeted quickly by a friendly member of staff who took us to our table. Everything was nice and clean and tidy there. Our drinks order was taken just a few minutes after we sat down, and when they returned with them our food order was taken. We didn’t have to wait too long for the food to arrive. We ordered a vegetarian Sunday roast, a half chicken Sunday roast, and a gammon and chips from the grill menu. All the food was cooked perfectly, and we all really enjoyed our meals. For dessert we had two sherry trifle cheesecakes and a jam sponge with custard. All the desserts were very enjoyable. Throughout our visit three different members of staff assisted us and they were all very friendly and helpful. Overall it was an excellent visit, and I would highly recommend The Crown at Brownhills to anyone I know.

Nice chilled atmosphere for a friday, Can't go wrong with the southern fried chicken burger. Wendy was kind, caring and showed amazing service throughout. Will return. Carl n Shell x

Anothet pleasant visit. Was seated quite quickly and a member of staff arrived within a couple of minutes for both the drinks and food order. The food took about 30 minutes to arrive, however, it was a Sunday and quite busy so it wasnt a problem. We had the sunday roast which is the best sunday dinner we have had when eating out for a long time. Plenty on the plate and all quite tasty, the only thing we didnt like was the gravy poured over the yorkshire pudding. Overall very pleased and have allready booked for the 09/11Good service, pleasant & happy staff. Good food

Lovely staff, Italia was very friendly. When we arrived Molly shown us to our table and was so polite and friendly Will be back

Nice beer/ cider. Was a bit too quiet during the daytime. Food was cooked nice. Very friendly bar staff/ waiter staff. Had pedigree & wainwright on cask ales. Choice of coffees availble too. Might be best to book a table during the busier times. Not a working man club. Toilets were clean

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

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 😀

Happy hour two for one offer on cocktails before 7pm. Well made and nicely presented cocktails in a very relaxed cozy gastropub. Hip decor and furnishings. Chair was so comfortable that I had to take a photo!

Absolutely brilliant food was really nice and staff are so friendly and nothing was to much for them. If there was more than a five stars rating I’d of given it more

Have not been in the paradise lounge for years🤔the atmosphere was fantastic 👌 the staff were lovely and welcoming 😀 the drinks were fantastic and they do cocktail happy hours 😀 they were fantastic cocktails 🍸 we will definitely be going back 😀 well done to all 👏also the bar was lovely and clean and toilets too 👌10/10

Incredibly loud music for a Saturday lunch time, understand they have tables of bottomless brunch people in but we were told we were in the quietest area and could barely hear ourselves talk over the loud club type music. Food is pretty expensive for below average food we had a pizza to share, some tacos and some loaded chips it came to £40 all together and was pretty lacking in flavour, the "trio of tacos" were particularly disappointing, seemed like a teaspoon of flavourless filling and a bit of lettuce in a tortilla. The pizza was a bit anaemic and considering it had prawns on was a little concerning but all round not so terrible. My sister had the bruschetta which was untoasted bread with sub par toppings and a Caesar salad which was soggy due to too much dressing. Cocktails seemed nice although a bit slow to come out. Not really bad enough to complain about there and then but most likely won't be coming again

Last Friday was the first time I'd been in the Paradise lounge since 1996, when a friend and I were barred for singing karaoke songs when there wasn't a karaoke night on. It has changed considerably, for the better. The food was great, with a wide choice of cocktails, which my friends drank in plentiful quantities thanks to the 2 for 1 deal up until 9pm. This did not have positive consequences for many, but they will live and learn. 🤣 We had a great night, the staff were fantastic with a number of our party being particularly taken by a young man called Kieran. I apologise if they were a little extra, but that's what the cocktails did. 😀 I would definitely come back as the nachos were fantastic! They were also great at catering for what was a large party! (Approx 16 of us). Thank you again for a great night.

Atmosphere was good, but a bit on the loud side, even as a group we couldn't hear each other very well. I am gluten free, they said I would be accommodated but everything advertised they couldn't offer me. When my burger came it looked very poor quality and not worth the money at all. Plus, I was unaware as was organised by someone else that I had to pay the same price for bottomless brunch as those drinking alcohol, what on earth?! £37+ for a burger and fries and a lemonade! It didn't make sense, the quality was poor and I wouldn't recommend it. Avoid if you don't drink alcohol, McDonald's would have been a better option.

Loveed it had a bottomless lunch . Defo go again. Great food, drink and service. Even better they cater to wheat free for my mum !

Friendly staff reasonable prices good selection of drinks

Went for lunch had a lovely pulled beef chilli. The landlady and bar staff are very warm and welcoming a nice old world pub certainly going back.

Freindly staff and clientele to match. Our favourite and goto pub in Lichfield.

One of the best pubs i’ve been to in a while! The drinks were great, and the service felt both fast and accommodating. I really enjoyed both the atmosphere, and my evening here, and i will definitely be coming back again. Great pub, Great people, and even better drinks! Keep it up!

I've spent many lovely afternoons and evenings in the Earl since moving to Lichfield almost 8 years ago. The landlady is always pleasant and kind, staff are super helpful and the drink selection is well varied, with clean lines and good service. Music is put on frequently and usually well attended. Great little pub with friendly locals and good conversation. Keep up the good work guys!

This pub is known locally as "The Drum" . Only popped in for a drink really good, friendly bar staff and landlady. Pub is in the market place area of the city. Very fond of music in this bar which is also dog friendly - laid back feeling to the place - loved it !

One of Lichfield's hidden gems. Great atmosphere. Fab live music. Lovely staff.

A great place to stop for a drink of any kind. We stopped for coffee and happened to come at a time they had live music in the afternoon which was great. The staff are all lovely and there are some really cosy corners to sit. Will try it again in the evening for food and update. The place is dog friendly so be prepared to see lots of adorable dogs.

Really enjoyed light bite and a few beers @ the bureau Lichfield lunch time today . Plenty of seating outside & inside . All 3 members of the front of house staff gave us good service!! Cold Corona on tap . I had BLT on brown which came with hand cut chips & hand made slaw & the Mrs had fish fingers on white again with hand cut chips . Good experience and will definitely try again . Nice touch was the dog treats given to customers dogs . Friendly atmosphere!!

First time we've ever refused to pay for food. Ended up going to McDonalds for a cheeseburger. 06/03/2022 @12:15 My wife and I ordered the beef burger and a coke. Both burgers were small, dry, unseasoned, with a lack of cheese. Like chewing on a rubber. My wife's meal also came without onion rings, whereas mine came with. It also came with cheese, but you could barely tell that it did. The meal costs £13.50. We also had the garlic bread with fondue cheese which was £5. A friend next to me had it without the cheese which was £3. So it's £2 for a bit of watered down/runny cheese? Baguette was undercooked, so the cheese turned the baguette soggy. Very confusing and horrible. Another friend we were dining with was coeliac, so asked about options and explained she could only eat Gluten Free food. The waitor explained the bread for the Chicken Cigno can be replaced with GF bread. When her food arrived they had changed the bread to GF bread. It also came with chips but after asking about the chips, they were not gluten free. Why would you serve non GF chips knowing she was coeliac? That could make someone ill or could have turned into a dangerous situation if she had not checked herself. The menu is very confusing. On trip advisor it states that The Bureau is "Vegetarian friendly". Looking at the menu there is no key to state what is Vegan, Veggie or Gluten Free. Nor a statement about offering any options. There are only 6 dishes in total, across all courses on the menu that have a (V) next to them. (2 of which are Olives, and Bread with Oil & Vinegar). The breakfast menu has no dishes with a 'V' next to them. Other dishes upon reading could be Vegetarian, if so, why not state it? We were told about the option to have GF bread replacement, but that's not stated on the menu. The closest it comes to mentioning all 3 categories on the menu is next to 'Dessert of the day' where it states "(Includes GF, AND V, VEG)". At the bottom of the back of the menu it has a disclaimer that is "Important information we need to tell you!" - stating "...items may contain or come in contact with wheat/gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish, shellfish and soy". This is in small font but is stated as "Important" and The Bureau is supposed to be "Vegetarian friendly" - Like I said, confusing. The drinks menu pricing doesn't add up. A half pint (regular) coke is £1.90, yet a pint (large) is £3.75. But for example a regular coffee is £3.20 and a large is £3.50. Wouldn't recommend

Stopped for lunch. Had 3 courses for 13 pound. Fantastic value, excellent, staff very friendly. Dog friendly too. They deserve to do well!

Dropped in for Lunch, not overly busy but is a Monday afternoon. Ordered a Steak, Bacon and Cheese burger. My wife order the Beef Bourginion. Burger was dryer than anything and the Bourginion was so heavily salted that it was inedible. No check back, waitress came over at the end, quite clearly could see that we hadn't eaten anything but didn't seem it right to ask if everything was ok. Bottom line is we paid £41.30 for an average pint of peroni, a small zinfandel and 2 portions of fries. In a time.with rising costs and when people have less money in their pockets. One would think that restauranteurs would be looking to retain custom and not give them.a reason to go elsewhere. Sadly, I'll be swerving in the future. Poor food, poor service.

Lovely. Really nice place to eat and drink. A really pleasant atmosphere too. The staff were really helpful. Lots of wonderful cocktails that need sampling. We will definitely be back.

Its a lovely place. But rather disorganized. I wasn't happy that a member of their staff wasn't wearing a mask upon entering the upstairs room we were in & then proceeded to say "soif theres people in here where doi go to eat?". Personally this is a disregard for your customers, and frankly quite rude, especially in front of customers. Very over priced for most things. And found that although the menu did not specify the Old Mout i ordered was not the alcoholic beverage, it wasn't made aware to me til after I'd asked for it. Staff should know the drinks. For many reasons, I'll go back. Decor, good drinks & atmosphere (most of the time) However you should pay attention to the minor detail. Better training of staff please. & more updated pricelist. It may be Lichfield but more places offer Old Mout now & for way less than the FIVE quid you pay for it with shoddy service.

Great suggestion from Kevin, who lives somewhere to try Bod. Car park but motorbikes park with the cars. Imput your reg or get a ticket. A clean new build on a new housing estate. The food and coffee where amazing, fresh. Could have done with some salad. Very colourful inside. Only 10 people in for a Saturday lunch time. Father and wife, arrived, lady in wheel chair. Easy access.

So if this is how they think a pint should be poured they need training in the basic art of customer service. Not only is the pint cloudy and the dregs of the barrel the head is probably a fifth of the pint. This place has gone down the pan big time since its original launch. I’ll give it a year before it shuts permanently.

I’ve visited here now 3 times each time I’ve had breakfast of some description either it be a full English to a sausage bap etc with coffee’s and considering the time you wait for your food to come to the table it’s never piping hot its barely lukewarm this to me shouldn’t be I’m slightly disappointed, the first time I came it was busy so just thought it was a one off but then came a second time wasn’t much better and a 3rd still the same , I personally like my food to be hot when it’s served to me not warm but everyone is different, this is such a shame that this has happened on every visit , maybe I might not be the first to complain if I am well you might be able to rectify this problem with the kitchen staff , the place itself is lovely and got a nice feel to it just a shame about the food not being hot the quality of the produce is 100% cannot fault .

Our first visit to the Bod. Although we didn't eat, we were very impressed with the unit and the atmosphere. Beer was great, and the service was fantastic. Big shout out for Charlie. Fabulous service with a smile 👍

The best selection of beers, ales, and stouts with some great food options and all the usual cafe features. It's best described as the love child of Costa and a tap room. It's definitely something the world has been missing! The cherry and plumb porters are exceptional beers!

Cozy place in the area. Chilled and relaxing. I visit there regularly and love their butter with toast very much! However, last Sat when I ordered butter with toast, found they changed butter. Not sure from the same supplier or not, but quite disappointed. The previous butter they served was the BEST butter I have ever tried.

Six hand pumps for cask ale (4 Titanic + 2 guest) plus 10 keg beers and numerous spirits. The beer I had was very well kept. Didn’t try the food, but it looked very good. Staff are great and the place a has a friendly family vibe (at least in the afternoon, when I visited). There’s even a bus stop outside if you don’t fancy the 15-20 minute walk from Lichfield 🤔

The best bar I visited in Lichfield for beer, plus the pizza is great too. A few cask beers, decent range of keg, all served in a nice little place which looks like it's pretty old and possibly an old shop? Whatever it was, it's now a cracking bar just up from the main street but well worth the short walk.

Nice place thats a bit of a tardis with loads more seating at the back and upstairs. A great choice of craft beer, cider and ales. Friendly staff that are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the beers and ciders they sell. Great central location too. The perfect place to go and enjoy a pint or two of something a little different to whats on offer elsewhere. Plenty of choice for all beer and cider tastes catered for. I will be back soon i am sure.

Lovely place, food/ drink is good but after a 4th visit on a Thursday evening, our food order had been forgotten or given to someone else and we've ended up waiting over an hour for food. We have been given a free drink as good will but when it happens to you 4 times in a row it's disappointing and a little disheartening.

Great beer, wine and pizza on a Saturday afternoon !! Staff were friendly and helpful. The place had a good vibe, great music playing in the background. Pizza's are massive, thin and crispy with loads of topping and great value. Will definitely be going back. Highly recommend

The best spot in Lichfield. Incredible pizzas, a great selection of beers and always a solid playlist. It’s been my go to for the past few years. Moving away from the area now, and I think WIP will be my biggest miss.

Best Pizza and bar in Lichfield, hands down. Especially if you like your craft beers and good music, it has an ever changing tap menu. A lot bigger than it looks from the outside, with an upstairs and nice little beer garden. Staff are always friendly and let you taste anything on tap.

First visit after recently moving to Lichfield. Friendly, enthusiastic welcome, lovely space - especially upstairs. Delicious, refeshing pint of Intuition with loads of choice. Huge pizzas done properly Neapolitan style. Couldn't fault it. All 4 of us loved it and are already looking forward to our next visit.
