British Oak Public House in Birmingham

Great local. Good selection of drinks 🍺 and amazing food 🍔 😁

Great food, the loaded fries were delicious! Nice atmosphere and great outdoor area.

An excellent pub with a great range of beers. Highly recommended

Great venue for live music, good food, and outdoor space. The atmosphere was alive and happy inside and outside when we went. Will definitely be back

Old school styled pub which is still a survivor with its 1930s brickwork - Not many like this left in Brum! Great atmosphere inside & out,Quick service at the bar & the little cocktail bar in the grounds, Large screen in the grounds too for sports events. Good selection of beers including Blue Moon! Would definitely visit again.

Huge community pub and I mean huge. It's full of character and characters. Massive outside area which caters for everyone. Original Patty Men serve food to the rear and it's fantastic food at incredible value. Kudos to all who run this place. Don't be put off by first impressions!!

Always a good afternoon early evening out

Great go to for drinks, snacks and atmosphere. Friendly staff, fun crowds of families and friends. Really love the raspberry white russian since my first time coming here. Lovely in the summer

Beautifull place and very friendly staff

A great dog friendly pub where you can get a good selection of drinks and burgers. Lots of outside seating with sport shown on TVs

We went in for the food in the garden and wow it was amazing. The burgers are juicy and flavoursome and the fires are incredible ! The staff are friendly in the pub too and they have a good choice of drinks. The interior is stunning as they have restored a lot of the 1920’s features of the pub. It was friendly and the atmosphere was good with plenty of seating inside and out !

Only been once on a week night so can't really give a proper review. I was very surprised when I went in the rear garden it was quite impressive. They had the biggest video TV screen I've ever seen in my life. Could be very good if they have football on

Came with family got to say best food and service we had will definitely return the staff could not do another thank u and will be back

Just a pub nothing special, if over priced beer and greasy burgers is your thing then go, also they let dogs in which should not be allowed in any pub probably go again at some point but won't rush wouldn't be my first choice plenty of other pubs where there are no dogs bonus of no kids in there

Popped in for one ,as a treat after food shopping, Hatty (Hattie) who was working in the bar outside was well informed and made me one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had( strawberry lemon mojitos)Clearly made with effort , tasted amazing , looked vibrant and went down excellent in there beautifully presented beer garden.

Didn't eat here but no complaints about anything apart from dogs barking at each other

The British Oak is a lovely classic pub in Stirchley. It's a historic building with an old school pub feel but indulges in contemporary offerings such as craft markets and serving street food in the beer garden to capture a wide variety of customers.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I love this place!!! Such friendly staff and amazing food from OPM. If you’re looking for a friendly fun pub this is the place! Great social setting and outdoor area. Plus dog friendly

first time visit & found it to be a very sociable pub with a decent beer garden & bowling green . a couple of decent craft beers on tap.

Amazing garden for outdoor seating and indoor seating is equally lovely.

Amazing outdoor space many range of drinks great atmosphere

I was served by Sophie who was a lovely bartender and made me feel very welcome. She had a lovely smile and persona about her very calm and sweet which would make me want to come back and drink at the British oak again. I have enjoyed watching England even though we drew but because of Sophie my night was made x

Nice outdoor space. Really good burgers by OPM. Good range of drinks, albeit a little expensive. Toilets really need sorting out. Not acceptable.

Good to find a more traditional pub experience still available in places, plenty of choice of beers and other drinks at the well staffed bar with minimal waits even during busy periods. Plenty of space inside the main building but a massive area outside with a covered section and then also tables out on the grass and a large screen whi h I guess will be in use for various sporting events over the summer. There was food available from what seemed to be a business not directly realted to pub but we didn't eat anything so can't comment.

Expensive and can get really busy most days

Great pub, but the real attraction is the garden. Amazing in summer!

Popped in for a quick drink before it closed at 12.30am. Plenty of seats and quick service. What more do you need?

A wonderful pub lovely time in it back soon

Food options are limited to when the burger bar is open, and not the best venue in the area for sport. The staff are great and always friendly and they have a great quiz on each week

Great friendly staff. Interesting and varied events on offer. Love the dog events

Great traditional pub ,big premises with a very large garden to the rear. Good mix of age ranges. Didn't try any food say anything about that.

Great and fast service even though it was a very busy night and huge garden

Outstanding service Tim served me 3 deep behind two queues of people- never had that before! Grade A

Really had high hopes for this place improving when it was taken over. Just try not to use the toilets, so you don’t get put off your food and drinks - If the food prep places are as clean as that… 🤢

Nice, characterful pub with original features. Can be busy of an evening.

Lovely old pub with traditional decor. Nice atmosphere to bring the family. Sports screens. Great burgers from OPM

Nice atmosphere. Drink in the garden with quiz was fun.

Traditional big boozer with very interesting layout and original decor. Excellent real ale and terrific service. Have always been able to find a seat in one of the side rooms. Have never eaten here but call in for beer occasionally when in the area. Nice to have a proper pub along with the other newer drinking spots in the area.

My favourite beer garden in the world

There is a short black bouncer who wears a Durag who touches customers lol…. Can’t even make it up, will be going back thjs weekend to catch him again

Not a fan never have been but tried it over the years i find it over rated and exspensive.. staff are friendly and engaging tho..

Fantastic place with great outdoor heating

Nice place. u can watch football and have nice food 😋

What a nice find! A very nice concept with great food and great drinks! Awesome atmosphere, we visited for the first time and there was a Christmas market in the garden under a big tent, it was fabulous and nice stalls from wax, decorations, wild game and even French charcuterie and food! Staff are friendly and helpful, darts game and locals are super friendly! Will visit again.

Really decent local boozer,great service

Popped in for an afternoon drink after a lovely afternoon at craft market. Fantastic place, lovely cosy vibe and service was brilliant. Wanted a hot drink on a cold December day and spotted mulled cider. Barman advised it wasn’t quite ready and came up with a perfect alternative of a boozy coffee with a shot of coffee tequila… delicious! And I got to taste the tequila first too 👍Thank you… we will definitely be back 😊

Great place to go! Really look after you the staff are great. Owner is a nice guy too. Good music and Highly recommend

Loved the food, finger licking chips and burger. Good price for all 7 of us.

I had a deeply unsettling experience at this venue. The bar staff, who are the sole independent witnesses, refused to cooperate with the police investigation. The complete absence of CCTV in the venue is a major security concern. What's even more alarming is that the bar staff failed to intervene when the perpetrators committed their first act of violence. As a result, I, along with others, have been left with life-changing injuries. This is undeniably not a safe place, and I strongly advise caution to anyone considering a visit.

Big pub very noisy but not packed. Bit cold.

Just stopped for drink and to use my computer; nice!

Lovely outdoor area great for sport venues

Great burgers been here 4 times now and love the food and its dog friendly so my greyhound just chills

Visited last night (Friday), super busy, super hot but the staff were spot on getting through it like absolute troopers. The manager getting stuck in too which is rare to see in a pub. Beer as always was bang on, always a good fresh pint. Best pub for miles.

Lovely pub. Friendly staff helpful. Great atmosphere.

Great pub cracking size beer garden and the food is nice what more u want 😁😉👍

This is a great local pub with a small carpark outside which has a wide selection of beers, wines, coctails and spirits. There is also so many places to sit both inside and outside in the large beer garden where there is a big marquee with TV screen where sport is played.

Bigger out the back than in the front. Good nicely organised food friendly vibes and good foods

Plenty of drinks of all kinds. Food is available but think only burgers are on the menu and only serve from 5pm. Huge outdoor seating area with massive TV. Some seats are under cover too. Two pints of beer were around £11 which was surprising since the location. However, this is the first time in the area so this could be normal.

Old boozer turned trendy hangout in the heart of bustling Stirchley with a friendly young team and two fantastic managers in Larry and Maria. Don't let a few bad reviews from people who're clearly stuck in 2002 put you off - a grotty old man's boozer with grim beer and manky sarnies behind the bar this ain't. Sure, the bar can be rammed, but most of us are with friends so don't mind a wait and a chat. I've never waited more than five minutes to get served which considering how busy the place can be is impressive! It's one of the busiest pubs in Brum for a reason and is a real testament to our fantastic, thriving pub culture.`

Great pub with decent outdoor space.

Well run place with great atmosphere

Unusual 'Chocolate Old Peculiar', 5.5%. Superb!! Went in for 1... came out after 3 !! Whoooops! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

the one star I have given this pub is for the staff actually employed by the pub as they are all lovely! I really loved coming to this pub, however, I’m a bit wary now after the last time I was here. I came here on the 22nd July and watched the security staff bully a group of people and antagonise them which has scared me and put me off going there to be honest. I could gather he asked them to leave due to having a child with them which was fair enough but he kept being rude and unprofessional when you could tell the group were trying to be friendly and have a laugh with him, to the point where it was embarrassing knowing he was representing this pub. It really is such a shame.

Great place all round! Really nice grounds probably the best grounds I have seen, good atmosphere never dull. However should be another bar, Toliets are terrible just small and really unclean Isn't nice seeing people having to queue up and when full ques can go outside the toilets, Also a few hazards with bumps and deep steps near some doors

Great night out for the weekend.

Huge pub,lots of seating in and outdoors and big part outside under cover.Called in for food and drink as visiting business in stirchley.Very busy place,TVs, live music.

Sometimes too slow serving drinks when a little busy but a great pub with a huge garden to watching sports on enjoying time outside

Stopped here for a quick post-dinner pint on a Sunday evening. Seemed lively enough.

Nice outside area but it's a bit expensive for drinks

Security staff rude at closing served 10min before closing then chucked out abruptly

Very old fashioned. Poorly decorated and the toilets were disgusting. The beer was well kept though. I only stopped there as a meeting point for going elsewhere. I can't comment on food as I didn't eat there and also a service comment could not be made as I was only served at the bar which was not in the room in which I sat. Poorly laid out place.

Best place around love it here

Fantastic day and we raised £250 for the RNLI

I've been here late afternoon Saturday first time, and the place was buzzing. Great burgers - although I'm dairy free, I asked for a no cheese burger, but sauces were added by staff anyway. However, it's really nice chilled, background funky music made all the difference. The only downside for me is that having so much space both inside and outside can become a bit chaotic and loud. Otherwise I have nothing else to add. Will definitely come back.

Nice traditional pub with a modern feel to it. Nice to have various rooms and a large outside space. Friendly staff.

Nice food nice atmospere👍definitely go back.🍔 the 🍷🍺

Old fashioned, a bit scruffy but a lovely pint of Guinness. Didn't have any food so I can't comment on that. The toilets werenot a pleasant experience.

I only had drinks and very expensive

A nice community pub in Bournville, good selection on tap I didn't sample any food this visit bur with a big TV in the beer garden definitely be on my radar if I'm in this part if the city.

Great garden area .service rather slow.

I'm RNIB blind and they helped me.

Busy place and a good range of beers 🍻

Patiman burgers plenty of outside seating good selection of beers can't go wrong

Large pub, large beer garden. Large screen TV with sport when we visited. Regular music and wvents/promotions. Onsite guest contractor food (usually). Good beer selection. No higher stars as inside spaces tend to be quite drafty with limited seating (majority is outside in the large beer garden). Online ordering for drinks and food is good, but not always kept up to date with what is actually behind the bar.

We moored in Bourneville whilst out on the narrowboat on The Birmingham & Worcester Canal. This pub came recommended so we gave it a try. It was surprisingly busy, it’s a big pub and the bar seven deep in customers, the staff were not coping and what’s more they couldn’t care less. The drinks were overpriced, there was a constant queue for the toilets which were both inadequate and small for the size of the pub. We won’t be calling again.

Big pub, lots of seats and an outdoor area in the back is also massive

Nice quiet backroom. Not sure about the main bar - two different football matches on screens. Fair choice of beers though.

Great atmosphere. Has an old fashioned pub feel. Staff are really friendly and the beer garden is superb. Would definitely recommend

Popped in for a few drinks with my beloved on a Saturday early evening to be shocked by the price this establishment is charging for a standard bottle of House wine, in question Roos Estates sauvignon blanc retailing locally for £6.99 but to charge £17.99 is in my opinion a little too steep in their mark up which I fully understand with pubs struggling in this bleak economic climate its hardly a way to entice customers back.

Big building, lots of rooms, large beer garden.

Awesome building with lots of space inside. Food is amazing for a pub and they also have vegan options!

It's been around for years, it's a bit of a local institution, with good reason. Good beer, atmosphere and food. Service is speedy as it's well staffed. It's a great pub.

Dog friendly large well laid out pub

What an amazing pub! Huge place with an even bigger outdoor seating area that joins onto the bowling green behind the venue. Super attentive staff and we also felt the need to partake in some chow from the Original Patty Men that were onsite. Fries were damned delicious and very reasonably priced. We only popped into this place as we were partaking in the BrimBrewFest which this pub was not actually part of. However, we liked it so much, we popped back again once we had ticked off the other pubs we needed to visit in the area. It was THAT good! Highly recommended!

Nice friendly traditional English pub

Pre drinks before hitting a burger joint down the road. Love pubs like this, good selection of alcohol and lively atmosphere.

Lovely pub, great selection of beer. As always let down by it's toilets which are small and dirty.

Decent all round pub , you do get the odd idiot in there , but pretty much OK.

Great pub, big rear garden opm serving food summer with a purpose 👍🏻
