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

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

One of the best Anglican churches in the region and in England. The church building has a great character don't forget to walk around the church to appreciate the lovely location and features of the church building. Going inside the church has no ticket, but donations are appreciated which goes towards the maintenance of the Cathedral. Volunteers were kind and helpful and can guide you around the premises. From the East side of the building you can go up yo St Chad's terrace and is quite and peaceful for a prayer and specially very positive vibes when hearing the choir. The giant table made with 5000 year Dark Oak wood! Worth visiting! Recommend checking the website, there is plenty of activities specially in the summer. For concerts recommend booking tickets in advance.

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

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

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

Large cathedral in centre of scenic Lichfield. Costs £5 voluntary donation admission. Extra to go into tower area. The cathedral has many beautiful stained glass windows. Lots of other interesting areas to visit within the building. A nice little shop selling a variety of souvenirs etc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Unfortunately, my experience with this antique shop wasn't good at all. I was there for the first time last Thursday, on the 23rd of January 2025. First thing when I entered the premises I felt like sick, I don't know the reason, but I felt sick. Two men at the cash desk, looked alright, but keep this information 👌 Plus, there's a weird smell in the shop, they should sort it out! As soon as I started to see the glass cabinets, and all the stuff around, it looked like a mess, and disorganised, plus, I have checked the prices, and I observed that most of them were overpriced, something in my head suggested me to leave that place without looking back, but, I didn't, instead, I continued to look for "treasures". I love antiques, pottery, figurines, etc. So, I finally found a beautiful figurine from Beswick, cat and mouse "watch it" collection, which got to my attention straight away, so I asked for it, one of the shop assistants took the key for the cabinet, and took it away (not in front of me), while I was looking for another stuff around (there are so many stuff in the same place that you get mad), so I was looking for some earrings around which I was interested too, so I asked them to take them.for me (also, overpriced). When I got to the cash desk, my Beswick figurine was already wrapped up...I found strange but in the same time I felt grateful, so it would save some time, as I could pay straight away and leave the shop happily with my figurine and earrings, but I was wrong. As soon as I got back home, I unwrapped it, and I found that the mouse was loose from the base of the figurine, which wasn't my fault, I am sure that problem was there in the cabinet, they knew it, so they wrapped it up straight away while I was looking for the earrings, in fact, the 2 men opened the cabinet and in the same time they took away the figurine very quickly while I was distracted looking away the other stuff. Next day, I called the shop to make a complaint, and the first thing he said was that I should ask the shop assistant to unwrap the figurine for me to check(so he was trying to blame me for their dishonesty), and he added that I could take the figurine back to the shop, and see if they could exchange it, or fix the figurine, however, when I said I was interested in a picture I saw there, he said, that I could only exchange for the stuff displayed in that cabinet from the same dealer...the shop rules! Also, no refund offered, he said he don't refund...why? The law says otherwise...so, the shop have their own laws, as much as the shop states they don't refund or exchange for anything else in the shop, it doesn't apply. I was very close to go back to the shop the next day with the figurine, but instead, I decided to not confront anyone there, because I knew it would end up with the police involved there, because they can't do whatever they like with the consumer rights, their stuff is expensive, I paid £48 for that figurine, when in ebay I could find for much less and without any problems or cracks,etc. The earrings were beautiful but still overpriced too. Obviously, I won't be back to that place. There are too many around, principally in London and with better customer service.

Deserved five stars but downgraded to one after the cashiers rude comment on checkout. We travel the world retrieving antiques and collectibles and traveled from Washington DC to England and happened upon this antique shop in Lichfield under guidance of Google Maps on our return trip from Cambridge to Liverpool. It was an easy stop and car parking was plenty and reasonably priced. We enjoyed browsing the three or four rows of locked glass cabinets containing various collectibles and jewelry. If you want an item you’ll need to cite the cabinet number and inform the cashier who will retrieve the appropriate key and unlock the cabinet. Collectively, on our trip we spent several thousand dollars on antiques and collectibles and in Lichfield, we inquired if there were any discounts offered for multiple item purchases. The elderly lady (cashier) behind the counter said she would entertain discounts only on checkout. A man behind the counter working with her also stated “we can offer a discount on anything over 20 pounds” and after the lady tallied our items at 183 British pounds, she looked up and said “unfortunately since you shopped so frugally, I’m unable to provide any discounts” We weren’t worried about saving five or ten pounds. It’s your mouth that deserves the one star rating lady.

Visited today. Very nice place. Everyone can find something interesting. Bought a silver ring in a good price. Will definitely come back again.

Do not buy any German militaria from here. Most of the stuff is fake or overpriced, they are selling refurbished helmets for the same price as originals and most medals/badges are reproductions. The man inside is a nice chap or seems to be but the women that work there have an attitude on them. Nice for anything else but if you’re a militaria collector I would stay away.

My favourite Antique Centre in Lichfield chockfull of lovey and interesting and antique and vintage items of all kind below some of the items I purchased I’m very pleased with them all !

Great for a mooch. Lots of small items at decent prices. We always pop in when in Lichfield as you just don't know what unexpected and unnecessary object will cause you to fall in love.

Lots of things to look at, only grip and very mild one is that things like jewellery are spread around the shop. I'd prefer personally jewellery in one section military in another, ceramics etc etc but I guess it makes you look around entire place..

My second visit to this one, and I wasn't too pleased with the abrupt service. Not to worry, anyone can have an off day, even if all the staff seemed stressed. Quite busy- creating a vibrant atmosphere. I had a Brixton ale for £6.60.

First time we tried this cafe sat outside in the sun. Lovely day today. We had Tuna melt & 2 teas very nice. We took 2 bags of books to the St Giles book shop they were very happy with the books. We had a walk around bought a complete salad for £1 of the market. Then popped in B & M for a few thinks. It Lovely to walk around Lichfield & not get bothered by beggers asking for money

Lovely restaurant with excellent food. Ordered and paid via their table app. The only issue was the lack of interaction from the staff. Never asked if our food was ok or if we needed anything. Had to get up and get more napkins twice. Even when we left, they never even said thank you or goodbye.

Hard to know where to start. An excellent experience from the moment we walked in and Neve greeted us. The QR code worked and the platform it takes you to is seamless. Art work is fun and we initially stepped in because there was an “energy” outside. We looked through the window and the place was packed. Food - amazing. Vibes - stellar. Coffees - incredible. Will come back to this little town just to eat here. Shout out to Neve. She’s the best. ❤️

Visited here many times for lunch, but our first visit for dinner. It was busy on a Saturday night, but only a short wait for a table. It's great that you can order everything over the App, a lot less hanging around. The tapas was great and the food is reasonably priced.  Staff always seem friendly, a must visit when in Lichfield.

My wife and I have been coming here for years and it has never EVER disappointed! I decided to arrange a surprise birthday party for my wife. I requested a party for 28 people on a Sunday evening which went amazingly well courtesy of Heidi and the team. Everyone was exceptional and professional as well as being extremely helpful and professional. We had an amazing few hours, thank you everyone. The food was again, fantastic.

Really impressed. Our first visit this morning for breakfast. The dish I wanted wasnt availabile which was shame, but between the lady (Didn't get a name) who served us and the chef, they went out of thier way to actually do it. It was brilliant attention to detail and I really did appreciate the effort. The food was spot on, it looked brilliant on the plate and was great tasting. We really have no complaints and would certainly recommend this place. The service was great and I really do appreciate the effort. Keep up the great work. 🤟🤟

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ordered breakfast bap with bacon and sausage and only got bacon. The guy told the person behind me they ran out of sausages but didn’t bother telling me.

I have just been into greggs were o witnessed a member staff placing raw bacon between pules off cooked sausage rolls, after she had placed in the oven she put her unwashed hands inside a bit thus contaminating the mit to remove cooked items , she then used unwashed hands to change milk on coffee machine , absolutely disgusting !

What else can I say lovely food staff nice and polite, clean tidy small bakery.

Both lichfield City centre stores will close early or switch coffee machine off early . If your meant to open till 7 then actually open till 7 and don't turn the machines off at half 6 ! . Have been a regular for over a year getting a coffee when walking my dogs but lately it's become a joke . So many times shut early and the staff just look at you like zombies. Will be getting my coffee elsewhere from now on !

Love going there but always freezing cold when sitting down having coffee turn heating up not pleasant

Coffee and cake, fast service, great prices, excellent customer service 👍

Food is never fresh from this place! Ordered a pizza and this is what they sent, always cold food from there. Waste of time!!!!

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

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.

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.”

This weekend they had a Xmas fayre. The stalls were offering homemade cakes , Xmas gifts, food, drink and they had a lovely choir outside the church singing songs. It gets very crowded so go early. We had coffee in the King's head and as it was sunday they were offering a carvery for £6.99. Looked scrummy.

Love visiting lichfield, so clean, lots of different shops for all things and plenty of places to eat too, the cathedral is stunning and there's lots of other things to do, highly recommend a visit.

How lovely this place is we got the train from sutton coldfield only a few stops ... litchfield is so clean and a breath of fresh air ... a whole aray of shops and places to eat.. the cathedral is breathtaking free entry and a must for anyone visiting ,staff happy to answer questions and you can take photos ..lovely little shop opposite if you want rosary beads bibles or just beautiful gifts ..

Lovely relaxing day . Easily accessible to every one including wheelchairs.

Lichfield is only good for 3 things •coffee shoos •food •charity shops - thats it i lived hear for 27years and if go shopping somwher thats not Lichfield

Lichfield is a lovely city with many restaurants, pubs and cafes. Plenty of shopping opportunities and some lovely green spaces to explore. A visit to the Three Spires, Lichfield Cathedral is a must.

Lovely atmosphere clean and varied shopping with a good Saturday Market in the Square.

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.

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

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

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

Excellent small (and free) museum with friendly host.

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

What a lovely little gem! The staff on duty were wonderful. They were very knowledgeable and gave us a very enjoyable history of the house and it's occupants.

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

The George and Dragon in Lichfield is a fab pub set within the backdrop of the beautiful city of Lichfield. If the weather is good the beer garden is the place to be with a fine view of the cathedral as a backdrop. If you're in Staffordshire it's well worth a visit.

Great pint of Guinness, nice friendly traditional town pub. Barmaid really friendly and welcoming.

Visited yesterday afternoon. A traditional two-roomed pub with lovely old features. Just a 5 minute walk from the Cathedral. Welcomed by the very friendly lady on the bar and enjoyed two pints from the choice of 7 real ales. Well worth a visit if you like a choice of well kept real ales. I didn't eat but noticed a wide range of snacks, pork pies, samosas,etc.

Lovely little pub, enthusiastic couple behind the bar who know their customers and are working hard to make it work, and doing well, Lovely looking place lots of history inside well worth a visit.

First time I've been in this pub. Me & my mate popped in for a beer and watch the football. Very friendly bar staff. Nice little pub with a selection of Pies if you're peckish. 👍

Nice traditional pub, big grass outside seating area, where you can see Lichfield cathedral. Nice friendly staff

The wife and I had a very enjoyable drink here. Being a real ale lover who likes to take his dog out with him, unsurprisingly I'm a fan of the Joules chain. It's certainly a very popular place as we had the last seat in the long end narrow bar and it remained standing room only until we left. Simple bar food is available which would have been very tempting had we not already eaten. Reasonable prices and a friendly crowd, what's not to like.

Wall is worth a quick visit if ever you're in the area. I'm always interested to look at these historical sites. If you would like to go in the museum it's always best to check opening times before you visit. There is a very nice pub close by that does very nice meals, and real ales.

Fantastic bit of history, can't believe its free to visit, car park also free, it's looked after very well, highly recommend a walk up to the church.

A compact little site with Roman foundations but it was explained there is probably more in surrounding area. We had a guided tour which was great as you can only get so much on notice boards. Plus spoken word is so much easier to absorb when you are dyslexic. It interesting, free parking and well worth a visit if you are in the area. Even have a few arrowheads on display in the museum

A well signed, well kept Roman outpost. Definitely worth the visit. There's a small free car park about a 1 minute walk away, and it's free to walk around the site.

The Wall Roman Site is a lovely and fascinating historic place to visit. It's great for getting a sense of Roman history in the area, and it's well-managed by English Heritage. A big bonus is the available parking, which makes it an easy and convenient stop for a day out. It's a highly recommended visit for anyone interested in this period of history.

It is a nice enough place. Green and great for walking with pets. The ruins are, well, ruins. Nothing much to see here (for a naive audience). There are small information boards throughout to educate visitors. There are no entry tickets. I found it empty on a Saturday afternoon.

A nicely presented Roman site with remains of a bath house and guest house. The site is owned by the National Trust and managed by English Heritage, which is why the same place appears on both websites - that wasn't clear to me before I visited! The small museum is free but only open on some days - check before you travel. The volunteers staffing it were very friendly and informative, and helped me enjoy my visit. Strongly recommended for an insight into Roman activity in this area.

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

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.

My husband and I visited Jungle steeet kitchen for the first time this evening and it was the best experience! Its been the hottest day of the year and as soon as we walked in, the place was lovely and cool because they have air con! This made us happy from the start and then things got even better when we saw how gorgeous the place looks - very nice and so clean! All staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We tried a few different drinks and they were so refreshing and tasted really good. We ordered the Crazy Chaat and Monkey bites for starters and they were some of the best starters we have eaten in a long time and we have eaten in lots of different places! The food was presented so well, the added touches with the pretty flowers on the food and the flavours of the food were insane! We also ordered the Carnivore feast platter which we both enjoyed loads! We will definitely be going back and highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience at Jungle Street Kitchen! The variety of dishes they offer is impressive, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We went for the Tiger Fiesta, which included a perfect mix of chops, jerk chicken, and mac and cheese. It was super filling and packed with flavor – every bite was a treat! Plus, it’s great to know that everything is halal, so it’s a win all around. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for tasty, hearty food with a fantastic vibe!

An okay place for food. I wonder if there is too much choice on the menu. Also would strongly recommend against serving food on a plastic tree stump. Not only does it look a bit daft but it also means the food went cold much quicker! Drinks were really nice!

Well, where do I start they put a 5% service charge on your food bill automatically witch is fine but when a server spills gravey off someone else's plate that they serve to another member of your party down the back of your coat and says NOTHING at the time no apologies or recondition they have done so is not acceptable. The stake is served on a plate where you can't cut it without the gravey spilling everywhere. No stake knife provided my friend sent the food back for a replacement plate, which took around 50 minutes to an hour for them to bring a fresh one back with an appropriate plate & stake knife My friends arrived an hour earlier than us so they were eating starters as we arrived they did not finish them, and they were bringing them their mains out. Myself and partner had ordered on the same recipe an my starter took around 60mins then after that hour 45mins after had a server come ask me with a receipt of what our odder was asked if we had our mains served yet I said No & my parter has not had his starter yet he ordered the same as me 😒 then it was about 20 mins later they come with his starter he had been waiting 2 hours 15mins for his starter my main still had not arrived it come around 15mins after by this point our friends then were asking if he had his main yet because they were ready to leave as they arrive at the restaurant at 6pm its was half 9 at night at this point we arrived at 7pm due to child care reason his main didn't come until around half hour after that so finally by 10pm he had his main served with a refund off them with out asking but only for his plate of food £11.50 They seem to be quicker with some dishes than others it was all a bit un organised. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING EVER !! They clean the back of my friends coat off as he had to tell them what had happened so they clean it for him -2 out side he had to walk to the car with NO coat on as it was WET ! From them wiping it down. The food really wasn't worth the wait, nothing special. On the plus, you can take your own alcohol in just get intoxicated. Why you wait 3 hours for your food

Very nice food though it did take longer than the 45mins we were told it would take. The service should have been more attentive, was not spoken to once whilst waiting.

Fantastic atmosphere and the food was incredible. We both had tacos 🌮. I had chicken and mum had lamb

We were visiting Lichfield to see family and came to this restaurant and wow what a gem! Delicious food for everyone! The chicken, meat and fish were all divine! So flavoursome, tender and just delicious. Super fresh too. We shared the carnivore feast and seafood island amongst adults and the children had kid meals. Highly recommend the platters, best we've ever had out. The lady that showed us to our table and served us during our meal was extremely accommodating and friendly. A service rare to find these days. I'm worried to eat out again as I know it just can't get any better than this place. Lichfield is a very lucky city to have you.

Very friendly welcoming staff, the food is lovely and plenty of choice. We visited to see Ska Train and thoroughly enjoyed the whole night. We will definitely be back soon

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!

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

Stopped over in the motorhome for a night and ended up staying 2 nights to see the open mic night on Tuesday and what a night it was great atmosphere and awesome music. Unfortunately no food during the week but just a 20 min walk to Lichfield center with loads of eateries, shops etc. Couldn't give 5 stars as no dogs allowed in bar but there is a lovely beer garden. Staff very helpful will definitely be returning

We had our wedding reception at The Hedgehog in Lichfield yesterday. As it was a relatively small affair, 18 people in total, we were able to use the private dining room. Alina and her team were fantastic on the run up to the event and on the day itself. The whole event went so smoothly. We were allowed early access to the room in the morning so that we could dress it ourselves, although they did offer to do this for us. The welcome and service from Alina and her team was amazing. The food was exceptional and our guests were able choose exactly what they wanted from the full menu. The bedrooms were very comfortable too and the full English breakfast was most welcome after the night before.

Didn’t eat here! Had an overnight stay for a charity festival rooms were beautiful very spacious and had everything you needed. Bed was big and very comfortable. Lovely pub with dining area but we were outside all of the day has a lovely terrace and grassed area. Plenty of parking has a lovely atmosphere £10.20 for 2 corona. We had a lovely stay

Stayed here while in the area with my youngest son and we had a really lovely time The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble The rooms were nice and I loved the touch of history about the place infact for me I adored the building and the grounds and my boy enjoyed too lots of space for kids to be kids The food was good no complaints more than enough portion wise Don’t think there was anything we didn’t like Definitely recommend if your in the area or even just for food and drinks if local

We recently booked the Courtyard at The Hedgehog for a lunchtime birthday meal, and the whole experience was excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and a special thank you to Justyna, who was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout the entire process. Everything was made so easy and the buffet was excellent—highly recommend!

I must say that all in all the place is excellent. The staff are super friendly the food excellent in a lovely building. at fair prices. Our dog was welcomed which helps! The Fritton misto one of the best I have had. Lovely pork belly good wine.

Amazing quality of food. I had the roast beef Sunday dinner and it was delicious... Perfection. They gave me extra gravy on request. A little noisy but this is a popular place so it was to be expected. I love that it is a dog friendly place, with a large designated indoor area and bowls and fresh water by the front door to help yourself. Our waitress was very friendly and went above and beyond and got some treats my dog. Definitely go again, need to try everything on the menu.

I love this place, lovely old building with lots of character. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is always tasty with good portion sizes. It's dog friendly and nice just for a drink too. Lots of outdoor seating for when the weather is good.

St Mary's Church Tower Tour I did the recently started up again Tower Tour today (Wednesday 23rd July 2025) The weather wasn't ideal today, but there were still some great views to be had. You need to be reasonably fit, and good with heights to do this. There are some almost vertical steps to climb, and descend again afterwards (backwards), as well as narrow spiral stone steps. Well worth a visit, and reasonably priced too. Tom & Angela were our guides and were very knowledgeable, and explained everything in just enough detail to make our visit interesting, without overdoing it. We visited the café beforehand where there is a lovely selection of drinks and cake, and pleasantly spaced seating. Nice clean toilet facilities on hand too.

A great use of a former place of worship within Lichfield centre, part community hub, exhibition space, events venue and cafe. The Hub was a well used and popular venue. Access to the 1st floor was via a 2 or 3 lift or a short staircase. Pricing within the cafe was reasonable and staff were friendly and attentive. Can't really comment on other aspects of its use but looked professional and well used by the public. Worth a visit.

I did the tower tour on Saturday. I have to say, it was even better than I expected. We were guided expertly and knowledgeably by Tom, who not only ensured our safety at every level, but was also full of amazing stories about the tower and it's history. Not only an incredible view of the multi purpose hub housed within the old church, a close up sighting of the bell ringers gallery, the bells and finally a 360 degree view from the top. A birds eye view of the ancient city of Lichfield. Brilliant

We went to the friendship bracelet drop in session during May half term, it was brilliant fun - lots of different threads to choose from and staff were welcoming and very patient helping the children to make bracelets. Really lovely to have such a good event for free.

Beautiful venue and acoustics. Confusing lay out with tables but talking not tolerated? (whispering to each other) Poorly handled by staff resulting on unnecessarily escalating the matter. Made me feel uncomfortable when it should have been a pleasant casual evening.

Cafe upstairs in the church, quite nice tea, not much selection of cakes etc if anyone wanted one. Toilets not very clean. Perfectly adequate for a quick stop.

Lovely venue with great acoustic, but I was harass by a member of the stuff last night for speaking Spanish to lowly? The little woman came to my seat with her supremacy acting treating me so badly that made me and my friends experience at this place, horrid. I would not recommend this place to foreigners so best bet take the train from lichfield train valley go to London where the minds aré wiser and culture. No thanks, you won’t see my money ever again. ✌️

A beautiful place nature mixed with commercial and with religion too. Loads of outside benches well maintained clean and open space manicured gardens and cleaning teams who clearly pride themselves on a decent job. Toilets including disabled available and a huge carpark minutes away from speakers corner. Absolutely ideal chill out location as long as you can get a bench as it is a hugely popular area with everyone.

A lovely spot in Lichfield close to the city centre but also close to both a pool and a park. Tempting views of the spires of Lichfield cathedral.

Not much of a point of interest in my opinion. Better things to see around Lichfield such as Minster pool behind it which is a beautiful place, especially in Winter when the gentle Christmas lights reflect of the body of water (for this reason I give it 5 stars)

Lovely day nice view only have it 4 star's as we where near bin and looked like not be emptied in 2day smelt but there was lots people there so many have been

Beautiful spot in the shadow of lichfield cathedral. Lovely for a takeaway lunch. Benches and a pool with ducks and geese

Very nice place to sit and feed the ducks. There are plenty of seats available and some grass bits to sit on

Really beautiful and relaxing place. Enjoyed my visit and walk down the river.

Nice leisurely walk around the pool with amazing views. This place is amazing for a leisurely walk looking at the wildlife. Just a short walk from Lichfield centre. Well worth a visit to take in some fresh air. It’s a recommend from me.

As a family, we always used to walk round this beautiful lake with the cathedral appearing in the background. We loved it and I still love it now. Such a peaceful walk. Can be busy but because Lichfield is such a nice area, it attracts good people so you know it will be a great day out any time of the year. You can fish on the lake with the necessary fishing license and day ticket which you can purchase from the ranger hut on site. There are grass parts and benches around the lake so you can sit, eat and drink. A shopping centre and some public toilets are located 5minutes walk away and a larger park around 10minutes walk where you can take the whole family and enjoy a picnic.

Absolutely beautiful pool, great for walks around the perimeter path which is in mostly good condition, stunning views across the pool towards the cathedral, the wildlife in and around the water is beautiful to see shame about the poor fish being hooked by the fishermen now and then, everyone we have ever met here are friendly and its nice to see other dogs, very well kept with plenty of bins for rubbish and dog poop , definitely worth a visitbif in Lichfield

Fantastic place to walk in the middle of Lichfield. Really nice to have a place like this in the city for wildlife. A few species of birds stay here or passby. There is a cycle path that runs along side which reduces the amount of bikes on the footpath.

A lovely mile walk around the perimeter of Stowe Pool.

Love walking around Stowe pool. We sat on a bench and watched it getting dark.

Small pool with circular path around, do have a children's play area. Ducks and geese on pond so take some seed to feed them not bread. Dogs welcome, saw some enjoying a swim.

Nero Lichfield is always very good. It is very popular so you sometimes have a 5 or 10 minute wait. The coffee is worth waiting for. The staff are always pleasant and very helpful. Thank you ❤️☕️

So, I don't drink coffee, but Café Nero remains my favourite place to get a good vegan hot chocolate! There's oat, coconut or soya milk and lots of syrups to choose from. This branch can get really busy, but there's comfortable seating, (plus wall plugs!) really friendly staff, and some great food and cake options too.

In the historic city of Lichfield, where centuries of history whisper from every cobblestone, there is a monument to modern life: Caffè Nero. One approaches this establishment not for a simple cup of coffee, but for a financial transaction that doubles as a lifestyle choice. The menu is a dazzling scroll of beverages, each one promising a taste of European sophistication. An Americano, a mere £3.60, is a bold statement—a declaration that you value your coffee, and your time, at a premium. The Frappes, at a more-than-a-fiver, are a work of modern art. A delightful concoction of coffee, ice, and syrup, they are less a drink and more a delicious, temporary loan against your future earnings. The atmosphere itself is a masterclass in controlled chaos. The furniture, an eclectic mix of leather armchairs and wooden tables, looks like it was curated by a student who once went on a gap year to Italy. You'll find yourself surrounded by a diverse clientele: students who've spent their last fiver on a drink and a place to charge their laptop, and well-heeled shoppers whose handbags cost more than your car. The true beauty of Caffè Nero Lichfield is its unwavering dedication to the concept of value. It's not just a coffee; it's a statement. A statement that says, "I am a person who can afford to spend this much on a beverage, and I will sit here with my laptop until the battery dies."

Ordered fruit boosters (not the one we wanted as they didn’t have all the ingredients), chocolate milkshake & an iced caramel latte…the drinks were lovely. It’s quite a small cafè so waited for a table - cleared it ourselves. Service behind the bar was friendly & quick. Pick up their locality card - each barista made drink gets a stamp - once you have had 9 drinks your 10th is free. …Unfortunately toilets were not clean.

Nice setting, with comfortable seating. Seemed under staffed, long wait to order and tables not cleared. Frappe not great, tasted like milk with bit of Nesquik, no noticeable ice, not frothed.

My favourite place to sit and read my book. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, the shop isn’t too noisy so I can read very easily, the armchairs in particular are very comfortable & there is a number of them.

Best coffee in town. Expect a queue inside; it's popular.

The long wait for very small tasteless bowls of soup with one slice of cheap bread each was extremely disappointing. We were sat close to the kitchen and heard lots of slammed cupboard doors with plenty of microwave dings which didnt compliment the ambience of the quirky building. Our two glasses of water were tepid temperature and really quite unpleasant. Not asked even how everything was etc. Poor attention to detail on food quality and customer service. Will avoid if ever back in Lichfield.

A quaint cafe in the middle of Litchfield. The breakfast was quite possibly the best I’ve had in a very long time. The coffee was Devine too. I’d 100 percent eat here again. This cafe has an upstairs seating area with bathroom.

Great experience! Met the owner and the team who were friendly and a great laugh. It’s old charming building with its quirks and an amazing history behind it. The breakfast was top notch you’ll end up craving one every weekend. Which admittedly I have walked the dog to for the past four weekends in a row. The afternoon tea was great value for money and a lovely cosy environment to catch up with old friends. I would definitely recommend .

The Olde Nook is a cozy and welcoming cafe located in the heart of Lichfield, offering an excellent selection of breakfast dishes and delightful afternoon teas. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with tasteful decor and comfortable seating. The breakfast menu at The Olde Nook is outstanding, with a range of options to suit all tastes. From classic dishes like the full English breakfast to vegetarian options like avocado toast and eggs Benedict, the food is always fresh and tasty. The prices are unbeatable for the quality of food and service provided. Full English is great with their delicious thick sliced buttered toast. The staff at The Olde Nook are friendly and attentive, always making sure that customers are comfortable and well looked after. The service is efficient and prompt, with orders arriving at the table in a timely manner. Overall, The Olde Nook is a hidden gem in Lichfield, offering great breakfasts and delightful afternoon teas at very reasonable prices. The food is fresh and tasty, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by The Olde Nook for a satisfying meal or snack.

Pretty good little place, very wonky and uneaten inside but it is very old so to be expected:) very cute fairy lights ! Panini was a bit cold :/

Really disappointed with our visit this morning. We were served 2 breakfasts both with raw sausages. The atmosphere is very quiet so I quietly told the waitress about the issue. The cafe was filling up so I thought it was best to highlight the issue. We didn’t receive an offer of fresh cooked sausages, no apology, and to top it off charged full price. I didn’t want to make a scene as it was very busy but quiet inside but I do feel the food and the service was really poor. I’ve tried to contact them to discuss the issue (privately) since but cannot get through. I wouldn’t recommend.

Food was good and piping hot, my partner had some cardboard on the bottom of the pastry, the 1 young lady thought it was really funny, no incidetall backroom music.

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

Best chippy in Lichfield. I won’t go anywhere else. Been there a fair few times and never had an issue. Food quality is 10/10 and portion size is great. Staff are all very friendly too :)

This is by far the best fish & chip shop in lichfield and surrounding areas! Very clean and well presented shop. Cater for everyone including selling a variety of sauces, drinks and even desserts! Prices are reasonable and competitive Plenty of seating inside and out whilst you wait. Offered free bottle of water on hot days. Staff are very professional, efficient and friendly - nothing is too much trouble 😊 Food is always hot, fresh and tasty. Plenty of parking. I have absolutely nothing negative to say!! Thank you for the great service you provide

Visiting from Toronto and this was the best chippie we visited during our 2 weeks here. Unreal chips (battered chips are a must try) and really great non fish options (the kabobs / mediterranean chicken are delicious). The staff were super friendly and walked us through all our options. Will be visiting again!

I got cod and chips this evening but the fish was extremely dry and the batter was not very crisp. I think the fish was frozen and it's the worst fish and chips I've had in a very long time. I'm so disappointed because this used to be a really good chip shop.

Very clean and cool looking fish and chip shop. We stopped here after going to Beacon Park and aren’t from the area, so was our first time. Will definitely go again if we are in Lichfield.

Ordered chicken & chips fpr the second time going here. First lot of chicken was dry as anything , and second time chicken is very pink! Lovely customer service but I won't be spending my money here again. If there was an option to upload the photos I really would.

Disappointed in my latest experience here! Low grade fish! I requested cod specifically and was clearly given coley (a cheap alternative that I was not fooled by). The worst part is that you don’t realise until you get home which is why I am leaving this honest review. It’s really frustrating that this is one of the priciest fish and chip shops in the Midlands and are serving cheap fish and passing it off as cod. I won’t be returning. This is the second time this has happened to me recently in the Midlands.

Great restsurants with affordable weekend lunch food and quirky shops. Just a pity it is so far out. Would go more if it was closer. Definitely can take the kids - young ones have outside woodland walk to explore. Older ones have food such as french style crepes and good South African bbq style lunch options. Affordable quick outing option.

Absolutely beautiful place to shop. Also the perfect place to go to eat The Barn. The food is so delicious the staff are helpful and really friendly. I highly recommend it if you've never been then your missing out. Beautiful shops to have a browse and buy.

Really lovely place - great location, plenty of parking and run by really lovely people. There is a huge variety of beautiful independent shops, you can easily spend a couple of hours or an afternoon there. Would highly recommend 😊

Lovely place with a, nice wooded area and several varied food places/craft stores, especially the south African cafe.

Really nice drop by and meet up for lunch kind of place ideally located just off A38 i remember it as the Three French Hens (shows how often i venture back home) .. creperie nice (don't ask for tap water though with your meal . . 🤦‍♀️you get that look 🙄 off the waitress 🤭) .. could of spent a fortune in Peony and Mint omdayz such lovely clothing ensembles the Staff were lovely .. the new lamp that i didn't wake up in the morning wanting 🤣 looks gorgeous .. will definitely be going back at some point .. not sure when but hey ho another fine establishment to put on the meet up for lunch list 🙌👌

Not worth visiting unless you take your toddlers to Crumb and Play. The Barn restaurant is very good but the other outlets are not worth the effort.

Nice little shops and restaurants it’s very nice place to eat and relax and shop

The fairy woods is a lovely place for a woodland wander, fairy doors, mud kitchen, stepping stones, and adventure. There's the "dummy tree" should you want your little one to donate them to the fairies and a book swap cabinet with seating for a story time. There's seating which makes for a lovely picnic spot and plenty parking! Highly recommended!!

Spent an hour here today with the kids (13 and 9). Got them some lovely crepes with Nutella from one of the cafes there. Plenty of space to sit and chill for an hour. Fairy garden is bigger than I thought, bigger and more interesting than the one at Cannock Chase.

I brought my grandaughter Esme here 4 years ago, but this time we brought her little brother Jackson along. Even though it had changed quite abit they both loved it espically when they saw Sandra, Alice and Sower (the pigs). Lovely little walk with lots of things for them to see and do.

Really enjoyed the fairy walk. Nice clear path through. Great place to let your kids have a tear about. The pigs are fun. There was an infographic about bird species and some I’d never heard of so was really interesting.

Cute little fairy trail that children will love. All the items are donated, which is very environmentally friendly.

Adorable fairy trail, the barbie's dolls are hung up but their hair got matted so it looks a little spooky now rather than magical and fairy like. However the little dolls houses and fairy doors are adorable.

Nice walk catered for kids just a shame there's so much noise from the road traffic

This is my first visit here and it’s so close to Lichfield and Tamworth it’s easy to get to and has free parking. The staff member was so welcoming and gave lots of helpful information. It’s a really well thought out museum and the outside area is fantastic for wandering. The sound effects bring it to life too. The tank play area was fab and kept my children entertained for a long time

Brilliant couple of hours (about 3 I think) spent here. The trench talk was fab, museum itself was great. We didn't have time to see all of it so we'll definitely be back. We visited on a bank holiday, was a great option whilst everywhere else was closed!

Great place to see! Ticket allows you to come back again within the year. Lots to see here. Recommend you to come here.

Amazing to see the trenches and the outside areas. A good family place to visit. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Great place to visit if you're in the area things for the children to do and lots to look at

Very moving experience walking through the WW1 trenches. We'll laid out and very interesting museum.

A regiment that has fought in every major war for the last 3 centuries, which made the museum very interesting. The trenches are really well done and the air-raid shelter brought back memories for my octogenarian father. Ended up spending a couple of hours, as it was much better than we expected.

A really good find. A good and varied choice of food menu with excellent service at a reasonable price. Also has nice outdoor area to eat outdoors for when the weather is good

Beautiful little cafe in a beautiful part of the world. Food was superb, all locally sourced and fresh! Baby friendly and nice relaxed atmosphere. Free parking and a fairy walk nearby for children or dog walkers. Highly recommended breakfast and very filling!!! :)

Cannot thank you enough!!!!! I had my baby shower here at the weekend, from the first moment that we organised it, Claire and Nigel were extremely accommodating and made me feel at ease. Their communication with myself whilst organising the event was second to none and it made the whole experience of organising an event easy. We did a pre-visit to the venue beforehand, whereby Claire gave up her time to meet with us personally and discuss details of the event. Nothing was too much trouble for her! From here, we discussed sandwich options for the afternoon tea and also layouts of the room due to me having a large number of guests. Claire listened to all of my wishes and took these on board, going above and beyond sending me possible options via text message. On the actual day, all of the staff were so accommodating and helped set up a beautiful baby shower. Every single member of staff was a joy to be around and made the event run incredibly smoothly. They even made my friend a special treat of Brie and cranberry sandwiches which I was sadly not able to order due to pregnancy, which showed how thoughtful and care went into planning our event. The venue and overall event was praised by all who came and guests frequently commented on how beautiful the venue and food were. Cannot recommend this venue enough to host an event like this, it is absolutely stunning with fantastic staff members who go above and beyond for all!!!

Me and my wife dropped in for a fry up, we had the light breakfast £12 each and a pot of tea between us. The staff were just lovely and very attentive, they made us feel very welcome and the breakfast was beautiful, especially the sausage (think it was from packington) probably one of the best I've had. We will endeavour to visit again. The decor inside was splendid, you could spend the whole day there.

The place is quite small. Less a barn.......more a shed, or an outhouse. I JEST OF COURSE. Given the size of the shopping village the size of the place is just fine. It's actually quite long, maybe ten metres but only, like 3m wide. It's enough for a dozen tables with a few seating five. The place is immaculately clean & tidy. The menu seems fine in terms of range. I'd be worried if they were trying to cook some super-posh 5 course meal with "Foam" and some hog jui cooled to sub zero temps with liquid nitrogen. You know it's a small kitchen so the menu is based (Or at least accounts) on that restriction. The staff seem efficient and communicative and are very polite and friendly. The view outside the window ain't half bad either. I had a cappuccino. It was lovely and only cost £3.50. It tasted like they used fairly dark beans - possibly an Italian espresso roast. So if you don't like dark roasts, ask before you order.

We got married here! Well had our reception here. A big shout out to Nigel, Claire and the team for helping to make our day so lovely. Despite all the chaos our guests caused them and my friends almost drinking the place dry they did an excellent job, handling everything with ease. The food was really good too and everyone had a lovely time. I couldn't recommend this place more. Whether you're just popping in for some food or holding an event here, you'll be in for a nice time

I visited this café with my toddler and found a piece of eggshell in her breakfast. When I mentioned it to the staff, the initial response was very dismissive — I was simply asked “oh, have you finished?” and given a casual “we’re sorry” with no real concern shown. I had to ask to speak to the manager before anyone took the situation seriously. The manager then tried to justify it by saying it was “only tiny,” which is not acceptable when food is being served to a young child. Finding eggshell in food raises questions about basic kitchen standards and hygiene. I was offered a free tea and coffee, but that doesn’t make up for the lack of accountability or genuine care. It’s a real shame, because I honestly thought I’d found a nice little spot to come back to regularly — but after this experience, I definitely won’t be returning.

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!

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.

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.

Excellent seller of shops and experience workshops from felting to pottery great gift shops and antiques together with a garden centre. Highly recommend

Lovely place to visit... Great little garden center.. lots of lovely little stores, including butchers and farm shop. Cafe does a fab breakfast... And Sunday lunch appears to be always prebooked, and full... So must be good... Nice location even if a bit out of the way... 👍👍😡

It was a great place to visit. The garden centre is a good one. There's a few decent craft shops, including antiques, but the 5 stars are awarded to the tiny corner establishment where I sat down to a delicious cornish pasty followed by a very tasty mint chocolate ice cream 😋 . The lady who served me was very polite and warm-hearted. I will visit again !

Superb centre on the edge of Lichfield with easy parking and a great diversity of artisan traders. Farm Shop and superb cafe also. Brand new Pottery Cave Studio has also opened offering paint a pot experiences for young and not so young, hen parties, pot throwing , gift vouchers and wider ceramic and clay throwing experiences. Highly recommended .

Food was quite good. Plenty of parking. Didn’t get there till after 15.00 so a lot of the shops were closed but they do close at 16.00. Nice place to go but suggest early.

Love love looove this place! You can sit indoors, outside inn a veranda or in the courtyard. Very quirky menu - recommend the toasted bananas with bacon, banana, greek yoghurt and maple syrup - absolutely delicious. Went with several different parties and everybody was VERY happy with their respective choices which doesn't happen often😁.. Service was always friendly and efficient. Pricing was very reasonable as well. Lovely to find such a gem that is one of a kind rather than a chain. Definitely will return again and again!

Beware visiting here if you don’t want to leave with scratched or gouged wheels on your care as the entrance/exit is so narrow because of concrete blocks to stop Travelers getting on the car park. Land owner/farmer has a bad attitude and not interested. Beware.

Carol and Chris are fabulous and have done a wonderful job with our framing again! We have had several items framed by them over the past 4 years and all have been done to an exceptional standard. They are expert at recommending frames and mounts and are reasonably priced. They also have a wonderful and ecclectic range of artwork for sale.

We have bought many paintings from Eden Gallery, there is always a very good range of styles of pictures to suite all tastes. The customer service is always first class, nothing is to much trouble. We would recommend Eden Gallery to anyone without hesitation. Keep up the great work and I'm sure we will be back soon !

Delightful gallery set in a countryside craft centre. Always a lovely welcome from Chris and Carol. I have also had some beautiful bespoke picture framing done by them which was very reasonable priced.

I love this place. So quiet and tucked away, you get plenty of time to browse, I only wished it was bigger and /or they rotated the stock more often to get to see more... currently bought 1 item from them and have my eye on 2 more.

Very happy with Chris and Carol answered all my questions nothing was too much trouble. I purchase a piece of artwork Framed .would definitely recommend them and hopefully I will be doing business again

A wide range of prints and other works available with excellent framing services. Friendly knowledgeable owners. Would highly recommend

Have recently had a couple of small prints beautifully framed here. Also have bought a couple of pieces. Very friendly, professional and all round positive experience!
