Boars Head World Buffet in Birmingham

I highly rate this place as a good to eat place, staff are friendly, food is great and good options, I juts think a little slow when comes to getting table service for drinks, but it's a minor set back, the bar is there to go yourself.

We called ahead to check what time the restaurant closed and were told clearly that they were open until 9:30 PM. We arrived at 8:00 PM, well within that time, only to be turned away at the door and told they actually close at 8:30 PM. No apology, no explanation — just a dismissive attitude. If you’re going to mislead customers over the phone and then refuse service, at least be polite about it. Absolutely unacceptable. Won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time either. We drive a hour away for disappointment

Very nice family atmosphere and excellent selection of foods across the world.

Amazing place to eat i was taken there for mothers day enjoyed every minute I would recommend this place for any occasion

Boarshead has come up in a new avatar very niche atmospherics....cosy ambience..,. yummylicious grub..... great cocktails and very friendly and helpful staff.... it's an overall awesome experience

The food was great and i was looking forward to having some amazing ice cream and guess what it was out of service apparently cooling down so we asked if it would be working soon so they go to look at it, press some buttons and walk away not informing us if it would be fixed or not. Very disappointed with communication from the staff. Update 1 hour and 10 mins in they've finally got it working all it needed was one woman arguing with the staff to get it started.

Great place. Well organised, very clean, great staff and lovely food.

Really great food nice service. Thanks guys highly recommend

Very yummy good great service well done guys highly recommend it .

Been here a few times, had buffet so it's ok

Lots of choice but the quality of the food wasn't great. Tables were cleared quickly and staff were friendly

Great all you can eat buffet. Value for money.

Food was nice but why are the staff UNCONSENTUALLY taking photos of us to post on their website? I can’t believe your staff would do this. It’s disgusting. Where is the consent? Bear it mind this was also 2 under 18s? I confronted the staff member who then proceeded to delete them but seriously. Discuss this. Disgusting.

First time here. Very pleasant. Was taken to table, you have approximately 1.45 hours at your table. This is plenty of time. Food was excellent but easy to over indulge. My stomach was bursting! Bar staff excellent and very friendly. Enjoyed myself very much and so I would well recommend. Very busy as it was a Saturday night but everything was fine. I certainly would give this restaurant 5 stars. A+++++. A big thankyou to all the staff for making us welcome.👌👍.

Very clean buffet restaurant, not a massive amount of food choices like some, but good food all the same

A very good time eating out,will book again soon 👍

Unfortunately, on this occasion the food was like attending an all you can drink soup buffet. Chinese curry could have been drank with a straw, sauces were like cordial. I’ve cream machine just poured like it was liquid and not ice cream, the mess this created was beyond bizarre! A lot of food not replenished, a lot of it was dry. Standards have slipped massively in this restaurant and it’s a shame as I’ve always enjoyed The Boars Head. Unfortunately this appeared to either be saving costs or chefs just couldn’t be bothered to cook with passion.

The staff on site were all lovely, couldn't fault one of them, however as is always tricky in a fast turnover type service some of the cutlery and plates were a little grim, but aside from that no complaints

went with a small group last week for first time.. a lot of people there.. a wide range of foods... but if you don't like noise it is not the place for you. music was too intrusive coupled with a lot of people made it hard to listen or talk

Came for Monday night dinner with my family, food was lovely and hot, service was brilliant Rebecca, Saj, William and Bob all done an amazing job!! Will definitely be visiting again !!

We first came to this restaurant a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, so we decided to go last night very disappointing the curries were watered down sweet and sour chicken like water alot of stuff they had run out of at 6.30pm.dont think we will be going again felt a waste of £60 for 2 of us 😥

This was a great place to spend my son’s 19th birthday, the food was great with a wide variety, but the star of the show was our waiter Rebecca. She was excellent start to finish, attentive and caring. She offered a hospitable service and made our evening so much better.

*edited from a 3 year visit* Visited on a Sunday. The menu shared on their website is not representative of the buffet on the day. Curries were scarce and food kept on running out, with a long wait before being topped up. Wouldn't return.

Boars Head World Buffet one of the best restaurant in Birmingham amazing and excellent service by staff food was amazing thanks to abhishek who helps us during food and drinks serve highly recommended.

Lovely food, good selection, great customer service from our host Bashi. We recommend this venue for a nice night out with the family, something for everyone.

Lunch buffet not a full choice like an evening menu, a lot of dishes missing. Arrived at 12 on opening with a few other dinners. Some of the food was not very hot unless it was ordered at the counter. My friend likes prawns but not dishes where available, only one size small side plates on offer to eat food off and no Bowls on offer for runny dishes or ice cream. Also still had Christmas decorations up around the desserts area on the 28th February

Went in today for dinner to celebrate my sons birthday and our server anabel, deepika, rebecca and freda were so attentive and nice. Anabel made sure we had a nice experience and was constantly checking up on us incase we needed anything. We really appreciate the great service. Food was delicious- especially the chicken korna and butter chicken. However i do think that the lamb stew should have a high spiciness warning because it was so spicy but tasty. Thank you boars head!!!

We went here soon as it opened within 10-15 minutes most of the food was warm to cold the only items I enjoyed was the pick your own chow mein then he cooked it up fresh and the ice cream machine . Also I would get rid of the mannequin soon as you walk in not necessary. Plus as it's almost March remove the xmas Dec's. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the staff are very helpful and polite.

Great place to go, good food variety, nice inside decor. Staff were incredible, smiley, helpful, we'd eat a plat of food and get up to go for another and by the time we were back everytime our old plates were cleared from the table. Amazing place to go. Price wasn't too bad either, buffet was £22 per person, we had 4 plates each including dessert which is well worth it I'd say.

1st time visit to this restaurant the menu was really good. The service from the staff was mixed would recommend but not my cup of tea

Food is decent. Staff are nice and good customer service, the desserts aren’t the best half the cakes have too much gelatine texture is like rubber and aren’t very nice and disappointing so I avoid the desserts like that. Place is nicely decorated.

Had so much fun with family, staffs were handy, service was superb, the manager and staffs had a friendly smile on their face.

Really great selection of food - Curries, Chinese, pizza, carvery. There's something for everyone. The food was fresh and hot. The staff were busy but still came over to help us quickly when we needed drinks or to pay. Dessert selection was great!

No chicken sweetcorn soup . Other than that it’s pretty good

The staff in the restaurant are kind and have great customer service. I love that unlike other restaurants, they haven’t gotten rid of their ice cream machine which is what keeps me coming back. The grilled section is nice I love the charred taste on my steak. The only hang up is the gentleman did my steak a little too medium for me, I like my steaks rare. But the taste was still delicious and this happens with steak, so it wasn’t a deal breaker. The butter chicken could do with less sugar, but I still liked the taste I wish it was not so sweet. The tiramisu was delicious, full of flavour unlike other venues who mass produce tiramisu. The ice cream machine is amazing! I can’t get over whatever brand you guys use. All serving staff were sweet people and doing a great job last night. Thank you to everyone who served us. Oh I forgot to add that I like how their chicken dishes are cooked. The fried chicken was crispy and not oily. Cooked very well 😊. Thank you for always providing a great dining experience.

Unbelievable quality of food for a buffet of this kind!!!

This is our 3rd visit in this place, we use to come at lunch as we really enjoying the food service and atmosphere . But this time we try to come at dinner time as we heard that they are serving a good quality of steak and the same time we can have it as much as we can but after we had twice, i felt disappointed when the chef who’s grilling scold us and seems like trying to stop us saying that we can only have one steak for one person, i am with my wife and both of us are having the steak but he is trying to say that we are taking the steak 2 at the same time ( of course because two person each steak ) i just felt bad cause we where paying the same cost and the reason why we came at dinner because of that steak and this what we will get after all. I hope its not all about racism and discriminations.

We visited for dinner, excited to enjoy the buffet and especially the steak from the grill section. Initially, everything seemed great, and we began ordering steaks. After having four steaks (as it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet), the chef at the grill section suddenly told us that one person is only allowed one steak. This was confusing and made me lose my appetite to continue eating. We double-checked with another team member who confirmed that we could, in fact, order as many steaks as we wanted. We are 2 person in a table, so each of us orders steak. This inconsistency in communication was disappointing and left a sour note on an otherwise enjoyable experience. Clear and accurate information is essential for a seamless dining experience, and I hope this issue is addressed to avoid similar confusion for future guests.

Bustling atmosphere, good food well prepared and service provided by dedicated staff made for a great evening out. If you're not sure what you feel like eating, then this is the place for you. So many tempting dishes to choose from, you will definitely find a favourite to enjoy and make you a regular visitor.

Has been decorated to a high spec, food was amazing, service impeccable 👌

Had a wonderful evening at the boars head, the food was amazing. Such a great choice to choose from. Everything was fresh and hot. All the staff were amazing especially Nelly who looked after our table. The new decor is beautiful and the whole place was spotless. Would definitely recommend and will definitely go back again. Thank you

Boars head world buffet. The food was nice, nice place and Nelly was a fantastic waitress Nelly......................

Very disappointed. Nowhere near as good as it used to be. Freezing cold inside. No pork, beef or duck on the Chinese section. Only Turkey and chicken nuggets on the English Indian no better. Won't be coming back !

I last visited here 10 years ago for a get-together after a friend's christening, and I was pleasantly surprised how spacious and clean it looked compared to previously. The food and drinks were great, and tasted nice. I recommend trying the lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka, and pilau rice. The salad bar was also quite nice and tasted fresh. We visited on a Sunday lunchtime, and the price for 8 with drinks was very affordable, circa £16.50 per head. I recommend giving it a try if you're in the area.

We booked the restaurant for a group of approximately 60 people on a busy Saturday night, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were accommodating and friendly, and the food was of excellent quality, with plenty of options to suit everyone's preferences. A special mention to Sal, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and my group had a fantastic time. I recommend this restaurant for any occasion!

Came here for my 18th birthday, our server Naomi was amazing and made my birthday unforgettable and I would definitely recommend it to anybody x Thank you so much! <3

An excellent evening , wonderful choice of tasty , well cooked food . Our host Deepika , was attentative and very helpful . Would recommend to all

location and food is good.. but fresh cooking and hot food will very good .

Fantastic place for a birthday. So much choice of lovely food. Excellent value too.

Service and atmosphere fine, but food was kinda mid. Plenty of options but mostly bland

Loved it making everyone feel welcome to there different food varieties and makes a smile on people's mouths and bellys .Recommend going for a new taste of culture 5 stars.

Offers a nice buffet service of a mixture of Asian, Chinese and English dishes. Parking reasonable. Food tasty and obviously varied. However for Mother's Day the price is too inflated! Don't set upon mothers who cook everyday, or on those who buy mothers lunches on Mother's Day.

The reason I've rated so low is the hygiene of the plates was appauling there was mashed potato on one of them. I tried to find plates that hadn't got bits of food on them I shouldn't have to see the reminance of the previous persons food on my plate. It completely put me off eating I didn't want to spoil the night for my friends but I wanted to complain at the time and leave. We also waited for a while to be acknowledged I had to find someone to then seat us. So I will unfortunately not be going there again it was was first meal out in many years so it spoit it for me and I was looking forward to it.

Went to this establishment for a Xmas staff meal. There was a variety of option to choose from can't say it was halal their was other non halal food available to cater for everyone's need .warm atmosphere and staff were very attentive .probs ended eating like upto 7 plate before i was stuffed. Seating capacity was big as there were also other company celebrating birthday Xmas meals.etc busy for a staurday evening .wouldnt highly recommend it with false hype but it would be deffo an option for someone who wants to feed guest or celebrate a smalll event. 😉 drinks were sold separately at the bar .

Great food with plenty of choice, only criticism is the plates are cold and therefore food is cold by the time you get back to your table.

No christmas songs, food was okay but when asked about allergens, was told different things from different people so couldnt eat half of the things since we didn't know who was telling the truth. Plates were left on the table with no one clearing made it uncomfortable to eat, plates were all dirty, had leftover food on some of them. Would not reccomend or come here again

Manager was amazing person. He made the food taste even better just by his kindness to all guests. My son did a supirse anniversary party for me and he was just simply great and we loved it.

Went to EVENING meal on 5/12/24 for my daughter bday It's also gone under new management so we thought we go & try it - venue decor was nice to dine in. Was very disappointed for what was offered Chinese section was good Indian section was good Italian ... not so good And ............ Dessert section POOR specially paying for evening buffet Hospitality by a manger from Liverpool he was amazing this he stop me to actually put in a complaint 😕 Sorry & sadly to say, won't be visiting again!

Gone down hill, shall not be going again

Traveled a hour to try this place out and I was not disappointed one bit , the manager seamed to take so much pride in the customer service along with the staff all on the ball to clean the table as soon as needed food options were a little random but great I think that’s what makes this place work a bit of everything, and the ice cream and deserts , to , Il be visiting again for sure

Absolutely Amazing Experience.. I Had My dads Birthday Get Together & Have To Say The Whole Experience Was Magic From Beginning To End... Saj & Faz The Team Managers With All My Heart A Big Big Pat On Your Backs.. The Food Quality.. The Service.. The Team.. The Staff All Was 11 out of 10.. Excellent And The Service Was On Point.. Highly Recommended..

I Have To Say Wow.. What An Amazing Experience.. The Food Quality Was Brilliant.. The Choice Selection Was On Point Alot To Choose From And Also It Has A Wide Range Of Selection... And The Service I Have To Say Was Absolutely Excellent.. The Staff Are On It.. Plates And Tables Are Being Cleared And Cleaned Regularly.. SAJ & FAZ The Both managers Are Absolutely Excellent.. A Big Pat On Your Backs.. I Would Highly Recommend Than All The Other Buffett Places By Far.. Well Done All.. And Would Only Use Boars Head From Now On..

Kind of disappointing, closes at 3 and reopens at 5, had to rush eating and the dessert selection was a bit sad if I'm honest. Food was overly sweet and sweet and sour chicken was runny, probably wouldn't go again. Cheap food made to fit the price, dint expect anything special, stereotypical cuisine.

Price is affordable. The taste of the food is not excellent, but it is really good and if you like oriental hot food , there is a good place.

Excellent choice and great quality/ value for money Great service from Naomi whom looked after us for the evening Well worth a visit

The staff were very polite and friendly, the manager gave us a very warm welcome. Our waiter Tom was also lovely. The food was good, thankfully the curries weren’t too spicy. Overall we had a great experience.

Went with family to celebrate someone birthday they looked after us and gave us the best room the staff was amazing and made us feel at home

Had the most hospitable service today. Faz and saj, are top guys too! Thanks for a memorable day. Highly recommend boars head

Today I went with my family for dinner and I really had a good experience with boar's Head staff. all credit goes to palak she was such a kind and sweet girl.Thank you for this service.

its worth the money , nice pint of san miquel . Curries are ok tasty , fresh live station , pizzas are bang on , plenty of choice on afternoon for £14 ,,,,,, changed abit since last visit ,, basic buffet friday lunch , doesnt disapoint belly full nice grub

Disappointing Chinese selection of food, Curries were nice though. Be careful ordering drinks at bar, waiter tried his luck in adding drinks he must have seen on our table, on to the bill..

My favourite place to go ! Friendly atmosphere ,clean and excellent value for money 👌🏻

Fantastic choice of food, friendly staff. A little expensive for a Sunday though. Worth a visit.

Family celebration. Warm welcome. Staff were attentive and pleasant. Manager was friendly and engaging. Food was good, lots of choice and tasted lovely, very fresh. Live cooking for some dishes. Great selection of deserts. Highly recommend.

As always we had an amazing meal her tonight 30th October. Plenty of choice and a great atmosphere. Hearing the excitement of the children at the deserts and ice cream machine to the surprise on the adults face when you tell them to ask the chefs to cook you steaks or dosa's. While you wait. The staff are always keen to help and are on the ball when it comes to clearing your empty plates ready for you to get a new selection.

We had a lovely evening there was a large number of us and the staff was amazing from walking in the door to walking out the food was amazing lots of choice and caters for all ages paz was a amazing host Thank you for making our evening special

Good world buffet selection & reasonably priced. I recommend getting there early as it can get very busy. We particularly enjoy going for the freshly made naan bread. Chinese foods are a bit of a let down.

I had my daughter and son birthday meal here the staff was so helpful and welcoming and also we got welcomed by the manger on arrival he also made us all feel so welcome and made sure we was all ok while we was there and also gave my daughter and son a free drink for their birthday will definitely be going back again

This place had gone downhill fast, food is very basic and bland, staff look’s miserable, dirty cutlery and dishes and also increased their prices drastically. May return back if food quality, hygiene and price lowers back to reasonable level again.

The lady that served me made my time there the best I'm disabled so my every need was catered to chairs moved very good. Food was brilliant especially the ice cream machine and choc fountain. Chinese dishes brilliant and salad bar but the best was the young African lady my tip was only for her and it was on A fiver but she was so grateful and never been given that much she didn't want to except it as she thought it was to much but I said I wanted her to have it and that it was for her only as it was only her that catered my needs and made my time with my family so enjoyable. Will be going again but making sure this server is there to. Thank you for your lovely service and warmth and the food 😊

We travelled from Leicester to celebrate a family birthday, all the staff and management ensured the experience was memorable…Great service and the food, the management and staff were absolutely fantastic..We ordered a bottle of wine and it was served professional by the manager, Great choice of food too, thanks again guys …5 star service !!!!

Very spacious place. Great for vegetarians and vegans, as we are. Toilets very clean but freezing waters in taps and hand dryer not working but food is excellent. If you're vegan ask the chefs they know what they're doing. A lot of choice prompt table clearing too. Good parking.

Food was absolutely horrible, cold, overcooked, stale and tasted awful. I have 2 children under 2 so they barely eat but was charged for a childs meal even though they dont eat much. Then complained to the manager who was absolutely useless and said ‘what do you want me to do’ I advised I wanted either a full or partial refund, paid £55 for food that we barely ate and got a refund of £15. The only good thing was our waitress was lovely. Food is trash and management are trash

I have been to a few buffet and drove 60 miles for this hence my review and this is by far the worst so food was lukewarm on all items by the time I got to my table it was cold. Cutlery was dirty plates and glasses not clean and the after affects on the tummy was not good I do no recommend but I will recommend buffet island not far away from this place

Absolutely shocking!!⚠️ DO NOT GO HERE⚠️it was my step dads birthday, so we decided to book this buffet, we have never been here before and decided to try it. When we arrived the atmosphere was awkward and very quiet, it almost felt awkward going up to get food as it was that quiet, we were the only ones there. The food looked better than it tasted however still looked terrible! The food was dry and just sat there, the back counters were full of uncooked Naan bread and pizza bases that had been sat there for god knows how long, the food either had no flavour or was dry and tough, we had one plate and picked at the food, my mom shot up and ran to the toilet as the food did not agree with her and come straight back out the other end! I started to feel a bit sick so we all agreed to go, we paid for our food and left. We would normally argue that the food was not worthy of us paying if it was that bad however on this particular circumstance we where more focused on getting home before being sick or soiling ourselves, on the way to the car my step dad proceeded to throw up and my mom threw up many times on the way home (in the car) we all have really agonising belly ache, so please do not visit this establishment, it’s not worth the risk to your health

Nice and clean. Good food. Would wait until evening next time as limited food available for lunch. What was available was nice though.

Always a big selection of food and most of it is really tasty. There are plenty of healthy options and also a big selection of desserts, including an ice cream machine. You can also have a freshly-made naan bread, which is really good.

Love this place the food is amazing ,the staff friendly and helpful ,good atmosphere all round

Enjoyed every item of food I tried,good staff highly recommended

Some listed items not available like chana for gol gappa,mix veg pizza, fish fingers,roast beef or salmon and there were more not there. Desserts were good but small range. Service was very good as got table quiet quick. Got busy after we got there. Need more variety in indian side like chappli kebabs, variety in rice and curries.

Great Buffet, lots of options and the fresh stir fry station was a hit with the kids

Food quality poor. Good service. Good atmosphere.

Food was lovely, the man who was making the fresh naans was really nice and polite. I will definitely be coming back 10/10 all round nice family atmosphere.

It’s a buffet lunch and closing time is 3 pm . By 2:15 pm they try to stop the live counters but the chefs are considerate and they do entertain requests.its annoying that they remove the food and desserts by 2:30 pm .it does not make sense.why remove the dessert counter items by 2:30 pm ? We had to keep voicing our concerns then a waitress got few desserts for us from the kitchen…felt as if a huge favour was done. It shouldn’t be like that in my opinion. Please be aware when going for food ,get your courses on your table first …otherwise the only dessert you will end up with is ice team from the machine with 2 syrups.

The dishes were very limited. There were only two Curry's which got over quickly. The staff didn't refill the counter like they were supposed to. It's more like a bar and not a buffet. People who want to get buffet experience are not recommended to go there.

Nice place for family get-together. Love the food and friendly staff

Food quality is poor and definitely a different experience from the last few times we’ve visited. Sauces watery, especially Chinese, peshawri naan hardly any filling, prawn crackers soft and stale, food luke warm, dirty serving plates everywhere. Told the waiter we weren’t happy and he didn’t seem bothered. Definitely will not be going again.

Online it looks amazing but the food choice really isn't amazing. Pretty poor choices really and what is available isn't really replenished quickly when it's ran out. I've been to better buffets. The food itself is nice but they're ate better buffets to go too.

We had excellent time there from welcoming to food service. The manager Abdul Hamid(WIN LWIN THEIN) was excellent and his teams customers service was extraordinary. And the food was so yummy and delicious. We really like their drinks, pinacolada. All the foods from starters, mains amd dessert were delicious. They have variety of cuisine options. The must try dishes are dosa, chinese items, somosa, pani puri, fresh fish fillet fry. Then steaks, tarda daal, lamb curry and rice. Dessert mint cake, coconut barfi, chocolate cake and fresh fruits water melon and icecream. Thanks once again for having us.
