Catherine de Barnes in Solihull

Very slow service, the food took over an hour to arrive. Our table was booked for 13:00 the drinks were so slow I walked to the bar and collected them from the tray myself. It was a Monday lunchtime. 8 main courses and 3 deserts with coffees took 3 hours. We were not informed of the items that were not available so when we ordered food we then had to choose again. We also were not informed of the specials until we asked. The vegetarian choice is poor. We had to get our own desert menus and request to be served. All in all extremely poor service. The food was good though and the setting is lovely

We have been to Fox restaurant at Catherine de Barnes on numerous occasions, as a couple and with various groups of friends. Most recently we went there as a group of 6 to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The evening was no exception – the food was inventive, delightfully presented and absolutely delicious and the service was excellent.

Paid our first visit to this recently opened venue last night, from the minute we arrived to be greeted by the owner and showed to our table we were treated extremely well by friendly and courteous staff. The food was served promptly and was well presented and has for the taste, well words don’t do it justice, everything was just perfect,well done to all concerned, my wife and I shall certainly be returning here asap👍
