Beefeater Barn in Solihull

We had eaten here before when staying at the Premier Inn and had an ok meal with great service. This time it was a different story - noisy, grubby tables, chairs and carpets and poor service. Our food was only just adequate and we would not return here under any circumstances. The staff appeared disinterested, the wait for food was really long and there were no apologies. The only time I’d eat here again is for breakfast, which was good, lots of choice and fresh food. But again, the server appeared more interested in chatting to the cook.

Walked up to The White Lion for an impromptu Sunday lunch today and had a great roast dinner at a decent price, plenty of food, piping hot and tasty! We will definitely be back!

Amazing breakfast was well cooked to perfection was the best I ever had friendly owner clean inside well decorated like old fashion and I love it I can recommend this place Mr. Wig. Youtube

Been going to the Manor House cafe for a long time but was very disappointed with today’s visit (06/11/2024). Whilst the food is still good they have brought in a new policy with the tea they serve. Instead of getting a pot of tea you now get a tea bag and a pot of hot water. Fair enough you might think. However when I asked why they were doing this, the answer was ‘people ask for more hot water and are therefore getting an extra cup of tea for free’. How petty and how bad for business. £1.95 is not cheap for one tea bag and a little milk. The staff should not refuse extra hot water (after all, they can’t refuse a glass of tap water) or begrudge an extra ‘free’ cup of tea to customers who are also spending a decent amount on food. I was not alone in my thoughts, several other people were making the same comments. Also, new cafes and coffee shops are opening all the time in Solihull so there is a lot more choice. The Manor House should not be alienating customers like this or they might find they will go elsewhere.

Always top quality and great staff. Very welcomed and friendly service. Food, especially the wings are amazing. Will be returning very soon
