Beggars Bush in Birmingham

I didn't expect to get a £100 fine for visiting the recently refurbed pub on a visit a few Friday's ago. Visited in good faith. Didn't see the sign at the rear of the pub. It was dark and there were lots of people milling around. Apart from the fine, the refurb looks great. My family would like to try the food, but we won't be going back unless the fine is rescinded. Not a great story to pass on to other potential visitors, is all I can say.

It is a shame that the Beggars Bush is going downhill. My mother lived just down the Jockey Road, I have been here for a month settling her estate, my uncle and I have been in 2 or 3 times and they NEVER have ale on. Everytime I ask I am told its being taken care of (settling)or that it is very popular and they have run out. Here's an idea, order more. Today once again, no ales on. The tables in the back were dirty, i watched them pick up dishes and glasses but they did not wipe anything down so there was bits of food on the tables and rings from the glasses which made the tables sticky. I know they recently renovated but it looks the same to me just fresh paint and new carpeting.

I rated this pub a 5/5 I was there on Saturday around 4pm we had 3 gammons and it came on time and it was amazing it was hot the chips were crispy and the peas were beautiful it was very peaceful and quiet and the interior was very nice the outside was brilliant I sat outside and we enjoyed the food no complaints and we had 2 honey comb brownie and one Eton mess the brownie was gooey delicious and my friend enjoyed the Eton mess I asked them to personally thank the chef called Danielle and thanked everyone for such an amazing service I would certainly come again

I was outside with my mom and friends we had excellent food and pudding it was exquisite I would come to this fabulous place again

I came here with my 4 children to have a meal and I must say the staff were friendly and polite and the food was just amazing, definitely be coming here again 🙂

Good atmosphere , only one thing need to be improve is the parking. Overall, this is a good pub to go in Sutton Coldfield

Came here on a Sunday and got brilliant service from our bartender Kerrie. Lovely food and a great atmosphere.

Had a meal there today cost over £50 it was vile lasagne was sent back because it was black to replaced with microwaved slop swimming in grease only thing that wernt microwaved were the chips an they were raw in middle side salad was last weeks lettuce Cheaper and better meals at Witherspoon that’s how bad the food was

Have a lovely meal today for my daughters birthday 🎂 There were 10 of us, adults and children., Lovely server's and bar staff, they were all really friendly. Food was really hot and there was loads of it, couldn't finish all my meal (Sunday roast) I was stuffed. 🙂🙂

A good local pub , just had a refurb . A bit pricey but you get good food & drink . Worth a visit .

Wonderful experience at the Beggars Bush this evening, fab service by Reanne and the team. We came for dinner for our dad’s 91st birthday and they could not have been more accommodating. Lovely food and atmosphere. Thank you xx

I love this pub. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and nothing is ever to much trouble. The atmosphere is just something else. I would highly recommend it to anyone. They have some cracking entertainment on for all the family. The food is 10 out of 10 it's all home cooked none of this any microwave food. They do best lasagne I've ever tasted. Keep up the good work guys your all amazing

Newly refurbished friendly staff and lots of entertainment

Just had an amazing scampi and chips with beautiful mushy peas, brilliant new refurbishment really polite staff

I came with my elderly parents and family today for the first time . The decor was welcoming and everyone was friendly. Service and attention to detail was excellent. We shall be a regular customers from now as my parents live on the doorstep.

Went with 6 members of my family for a 7pm booking. They had no steaks so we ordered other things. Food came out without the onion rings and there wasnt any vegan cheese (also we paid for this). When we finished our food approx 8pm we tried to order deserts but was advised chef had gone home and werent taking orders. Was a lack of information from the cashier so would think twice about going back for food again. Establishment was clean having just had a refurb. Was very surprised lack of steaks onion rings and cheese as theres a tesco superstore directly opposite!

Newly refurbished, Menu had some interesting meals as well as the pub favourites. Service was good.

Came an orderd food which was sent back twice mash was grey when issued rsised was told all mash like this offered chips took plate again come back veg cold wjen we raised the issue the male manager hat on backwards was making excuses for the food we then stated we were going to leave a reviiew at this point he said well i am not helping you now i was going to resolve this but im not helping you at all now an walked away shocking customer service from him waited over an hour for pudding at this point cancelled it not the same managers or service anymore this will be the last time in here the male manager needs to learn manners

Had a wonderful meal & dessert, wonderful helpful staff,only downside in my opinion, the disabled toilet was without any sort of hand dryer also the toilet handle is broken so doesn't flush properly, real shame because let's pub diwn

I very much enjoyed my time at the establishment. The food, atmosphere and overall service was astounding and really made the highlight of my stay in Birmingham. My server Zach was a particular asset and made the atmosphere that much more enjoyable. He was kind, attentive and always seemed to be willing to fulfil our every request.

Well what can I say the food was amazing the staff and the manager were really friendly and very helpful I can’t wait to attend one of the weekend events all I can say is I will be back!

Came into the pub after it has been refurbished and it is amazing, looks better food is perfect and there are so many great value deals. Will be coming back again!!

A very nice pub , disabled access & good food at decent prices .

I ordered a steak medium done when it eventually came after quite a wait my plate looked empty, the steak was well done with a handful of chips, half of a small tomato and 2 skinny onion rings when I checked the menu I should have had rocket so I asked for my rocket and some English mustard when the 4 pieces of rocket came I was told they didn't do mustard or brown sauce, every pub or restaurant I've ever been too has had mustard. Every steak I've ever had has come with peas, my mistake for not checking menu properly, I used the pub on a number of occasions before the refit, I'm sorry to say I won't be using it again Ps my partner had a senior meal and it looked larger than mine ☹

Had an amazing time. Went in today, great atmosphere with the new refurbishment the pub already being quite electric when I entered. The bar team were amazing and very friendly, and all other staff that were working had made an effort the whole time I was there. Food was amazing, and I would order from there again. Overall amazing time and pub and hearing about all the events and shows happening I definitely will be returning!

Came here a few days ago and what an amazing atmosphere the beggars bush now has. New management and team are amazing and very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely be returning.

Ordered onion rings got charged, didn't get . Side of chips 9 of . Staff not all trained up . But that will come right in time . Staff pleasant polite courteous. For this type of venue, a small portion . Not value for money.

The pub has been done out really nice the food was great and the staff and manger were really friendly I will be back to attend one of their events

As a local thought we would try the refurbished pub for a weekday meal .. Starters arrived . Ok. Main course of steak arrived. It was clear to me that the steak was not a rump steak medium rare as ordered but a quick fry steak . When questioned, the manager/ chef came out with the meal that I had retuned to tell me it was what you ordered . ( clearly it wasn’t ) I was refused a refund so we left and I will not be returning. Customer service is none existent.

Ordered beef burger. Well cooked but bread was a bit cold.

Went for a quiet pint and no such thing in this crèche, kids playing pool and screaming there heads off. Place is like kinder garden for the 6 weeks holliday. Shame as new to area and looks a decent pub. Wanted some food but ended up going to Wetherspoons in disgust

1st time in local since refurb. Decor good. Atmosphere 01.08.24 18.00 was pleasant .staff friendly

Brilliant service and food tastes amazing. Kids portions were great & will definatley be trying more food from the menu

I’ve grew up in this industry, worked in many pubs, visited many more and I have never seen a pub with so many staff but people not being served! 4 staff members stood talking at the end of the bar, 1 refilling the fridge with bottles of wine when it already had many, while customers are stood looking at each other trying to remember whose been waiting longest to be served as the 2 staff serving, 1 clearly brand new tried their best, the new staff member was probably the most attentive. Once we were finally served and this was only because another customer told the staff member we had been waiting longer than them, we were told they were no longer taking food orders at 8.10pm. But menus and condiments were still on the tables and there was nothing on the menus giving certain times for food. We had been there for a couple of hours so would have ordered earlier had we known. (I’ve since seen they state here the kitchen is open until 9pm, but that wasn’t the case). Very poor visit to the newly refurbed Beggars Bush. It looks better than before, shame we witnessed a guy peeing up the wall outside in the seating area and then falling into it, and people using drugs outside too while security stood by and watched.

Since new owners this place has vastly improved. Fully refurbished ! Great food great range of drinks. Fantastic job well done.

Has just been refurbished its nice and bright new tables and chairs etc lovely places to eat a meal very comfortable very friendly staff lots of seating outside good spaced car park could do with a few more lagers as there is not a great deal of choice but what there is is good quality will definitely recommend this place and a big shout out to lily in the bar staff thank you for being so nice 😀

Came here today to eat with a friend for a catch up. Whilst here bumped into my daughter and grandchildren also eating. After 3 attempts to get tacos they finally got them the way they was ordered. Meals took forever to arrive. I proceeded to order my lunch of cod and chips and my friend ordered the gammon and chips. How disappointed was I to receive the meal below. Looked great in the plate till you turned the batter over which was all split down the middle and the small amount of fish the fell out was disgusting for the price I paid. Will not be ordering the fish again as it was greasy and very bland. Photos before I started eating them to show context of fish to batter proportion before I attempted to eat it.

What an amazing, welcoming place to eat! Food was awesome and the service was excellent with attention to detail, will definitely be back

An amazing opening evening, the refurb looks beautiful. Staff are extremely friendly and service is quick. Well done Rhianne and team and good luck

Turned up at the buggers bush pub not knowing it had just reopened as we turned up. I ordered my food and it was delicious. The lady behind the till saod the food is on the house as a promotion. No complaints from me. Staff were very friendly

Visited on the re opening and it's better than ever. Menu has improved and the layout is much better

Be very very careful . Car park charge but signage is almost undetectable in the dark . They have very misleading signs that are almost invisible .

AVOID AVOID . This is not a review of the pub but their parking . I accident ally parked in their car park with a medical emergency as my 98 Father who has sever dementia and was feeling ill. . I thought I was in Homebase car park . The sign is directly under Homebase’s sign . I believe placed there to mislead . I never received any penalty notice and now am to appear in court with a penalty fee of over £270 to be paid . They passed it onto a debt collecting company . I can show there was no notice at the entrance and insufficient lighting to see any pay signs . I had a disabled pass as well , but I have been pursued for nearly two years for this debt . I do hope no one else has been mislead by their signage under a six foot Homebase sign and no notice of private parking at the entrance .

Lovely place to go for a few pints. Lovely staff and always helpful and polite. They're closed at the moment for a refurb

Has a friendly laid back atmosphere and the staff are lovely. Will be undergoing a big refurbishment in May 2024 so will be well worth checking out once that is complete. They will be updating the beer garden area, adding a polycarb roof to shelter people from the elements and a new timber pergola. Two full height windows will be installed to enhance the view into the bar area. The steps at the rear will be improved to create a more attractive additional entrance into pub with some new lighting.

Limited menu Meal arrived quick no cutlery or condiments no serviettes pretty poor for a Friday evening is it half way thru makeover not sure won't cum agen poor menu choices

Nice food,sizzler pub so refund if steak etc not sizzling hot on the plate.Quick service at the bar,good range of beers ciders spirits etc.The only thing when me and my wife visited one evening unbeknown to us it was a casino evening so a big group of men came in and rearranged all the tables and chairs very close to where we was sitting and they was staring at us as if they wanted us to move also,I think that is unacceptable especially as my wife is disabled.Also we lost a pound in the toy dispenser machine the manager was supposed to come over but just ignored us so we just thought forget it.Also tv on full blast cant have a conversation,not everybody wants sport shoved don theyre throat and earholes.I like certain sports but i dint need it so loud its deafening.

Great pub for day time pint massive beer selection, staff absolutely lovely. Big TVs sport horse racing, reasonably priced beer. Look forward to next visit. 🍻

Very tasty food and brilliant and friendly service service, thankyou Charlotte for cooking the food for table 2. Burger was delicious 😋

came to the quiz on a Wednesday evening, had a fabulous time ( but didn't win) the host of the quiz was brilliant with a good varied selection of rounds, there was also a spin the wheel game which was fun. Overall it was a great evening with a fantastic atmosphere.

Girl behind bar gave wrong drinks it's ok pub when going through to visit family.

The Drinks atmosphere everything is electric all staff are brilliant and are up for a laugh 100% recommend

Amazing service from Charlotte and the team. Cracking boozer.

Excellent quality food, lots of it and cheap What is not to love Great atmosphere and really great staff too Music was just to our taste and footy on tv both of us had a great time Butgers massive

Great pub. Can't wait to return

Been in the pub a few times and it can only be summed up as a missed opportunity. The bar service is terrible and they generally only have 1 of their own Greene King beers available. For reasons best known only to themselves the music is generally extremely loud and prohibits any kind of relaxing drink or conversation. Very much a locals only kind of pub and very much best avoided if you're not one of the regulars

Great staff who were very friendly and welcoming to our party of 8. Clean and tidy everywhere. Would definitely go again.

Me and my family have been here a couple times this month and both times was served by Charlotte. She was very friendly and had a laugh with us. Food was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals and had a great time here and will be coming back again

Nice pub nice atmosphere been three times this month. However this I’ll be my last due to nobody informing us that you need to register your car. Now we have three £100 parking tickets.

Lovely place , Charlotte was super helpful and friendly , Tasty food an spicy piri piri sauce, bring back the mango chicken.

Haven’t been for a while nice to see Sara’s still there behind the bar she is a real asset to the pub, quick service knowledgeable about the menu v friendly, keep it up

Nice drinks and great service chilling enviroment not to loud chilling and great range of drinks and food wouls come again

Amazing food and staff were amazing

Excellent service great food bar staff very helpful always enjoyed my visit very affordable relaxing atmosphere great selection of food and drinks available

Really enjoyed our lunch we had hunters chicken and Katsu curry highly recommend, would definitely return again in the future

Great food lovely staff and great music ive been coming to the beggars for years and i enjoy the pub and the company of the bar staff

Went for afternoon drink excellent service from Charlotte beer was first class not too much head on beer pub is well maintained toilets freezing tho

I always pop in here if I want a quiet pint very clean pub I haven't had food from here for a while but last time I did it was lovely

Stopped off last night with Friends in Sutton Coalfield. Were from Plymouth on a visit, had a great time in the Beggars Bush, the staff were really professional band friendly.. lovely evening.

Booked a table at 7pm for myself, partner and daughter on a busy Friday night. Was made to feel really welcome, service and food was fantastic. Would really recommend this establishment for food or drinks. Thank you to Sally, Charlotte and rest of the team for your hospitality 🥰

Food was terrible 😕 waited over an hour for it aswell

nice spacious open pub serving food from midday.varied menu and competitive prices including 2 meals for 11.49 all week.pleasent atmosphere and friendly staff.worth a visit.

We were served by Charlotte who was really enthusiastic and polite and recommended some dishes one of them being the hand battered fish & chips, it was perfectly cooked, delicate and fresh. The plates were plentiful and the atmosphere was good. We had 2 generous...

Stopped eating at the bush gor a couple of yeats due to poor service and food However the meals today was wonderful As was the service

Been here many times , great service from bar staff , and food has improved so much since last visit , keep up the good work , happy to come back

Less than 5 minutes from home, so a very convenient local for me. They serve good well kept beer. Food and drink prices are reasonable, and the place has a lively and friendly atmosphere.

Great atmosphere friendly staff service was very good well organized food was excellent what more can you ask well done team beggers bush 🙂

Came here a few times and the vibe is brilliant, the staff are lovely as well as having good activities throughout the week such as a poker club if that’s your sort of thing, would definitely recommend

Lovely food great place to catch up with friends staff very friendly - would definitely come back. Lovely clean place and very friendly

We loving coming here. It’s a family friendly pub, the staff are all lovely. We love the menu as the prices are reasonable and is affordable for a family of 4. We recommend the fish and chips along with the hunters chicken. Both dishes are...

Charlotte was really friendly on the bar. Was there to help and offer promotions

First time I've been here. Will not be going back. I ordered lasagne, husband ordered medium/ well steak. After 40 minutes we chased our food up, took another 10 more minutes before our arrived. Lasagne did not have any meat inside, it was all pasta....

"All Day Breakfast - You Can't Go Wrong" Well you can when they don't have it. Scampi - didn't have. Got the Hunter Chicken and was up sold on onion rings. Which didn't come with plate, cause they didn't have any. Replaced with bland brie bites. Peas were cold. Cheese was partially melted on chicken. Chips were decent. Took about 20 minutes to order and another 30 minutes for food to come out. My relative ordered off the senior's menu, fish and chips. She got the saddest littlest piece of overly battered fish. The Gin and Tonic was good at least 🤷🏽‍♀️

Great food, great vibe, great service. Been a few times and it's a great place to hang out. The food served is well prepared and has a great taste.

Great food, great service, great vibe

Christmas meal Starters came out quickly but main course came out slowly waiting about 20 mins for it till we complained and it's not very organised desserts came out within 5 mins

This is just an OK pub that has two major problems. The toilets are upstairs and as an OAP that makes life difficult. The next problem is, the massive pot hole in the carpark. It's a serious danger to both car owners and pedestrians.

We popped in today for lunch as we were in the area. I would like to commend the Beggars Bush as the food was lovely, served quickly and as pub food goes it was excellent. The staff are also lovely, friendly, welcoming. Pub is clean...

Had a Great experience and the staff was friendly with quick service. The food was good and great value.

Charlotte was amazing so polite and friendly with kids made sure we got everythink, and made sure we was happy and sorted with our food and drinks, will be back

Great atmoshere, made to feel very welcome

Great food, great service. Highly Recommended! Build your own burger is well worth the money, so is the chick mix's.

Lovely atmosphere Great staff Good pint Would recommend to anyone Food decent to Charlotte is a lovely barmaid

Value for money Great staff and customers Food good Drinks are decent Family friendly Great pool table

Great atmosphere Lovely staff Great food Pint is great as-well Family friendly pub Value for money
