Cellar Bar in Solihull - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely fine if you like the bare bones of deep fried delights - we were staying here for a few days and I honestly struggled to find something to eat. Apart from a few tapas dishes, it Burger, burger, burger, burger, steak sandwich, fish & chips or 1 solitary pasta dish. No specials, no other option than what was offer ! Service was absolutely diabolical, on one occasion, our table of had 1 dish served 10 minutes before the other 6 and the remaining 8th dish 20 minutes after that !!

Sat outside the bar in the sun overlooking the golf lawns, very relaxing, ordered baguettes that were delicious, although took ages to be served. Not enough staff on the bar.

I never usually make it policy to eat in hotel bars, as usually they are overpriced and underwhelming relying purely on the captive audience approach, and I was correct. But the geography of the hotel and TA telling me the nearest Indian was 3km away I was trapped! I had passed on the main restaurant as it seemed expensive for what is was offering. There main lager was carling and one of those nobody really knows or tries, there was no premier brands such as Moretti, Peroni, Estrella, SAN Miguel. Where are these people living!! So I went straight to some overpriced house wine at £7.50 for a large glass, I suspect the bottle was less than a fiver! The food selection was again overpriced, clearly relying on tired golfers coming of the course and just buying anyThing! I went of an Italian platter to share, this was a 2 man starter, which I had as a main, some warm bread, 4 slices of mozzarella, 6 slices of meat (2 x 3 different types) and olives and garlic, some sun dried tomatoes and some artichokes. All for the sum of £17.95 Probably a fivers worth from the Tesco deli! Not very impressed a good deli board has so much potential but this was all a bit cheap and underwhelming. My bill for 2 glasses of house wine. And my deli board was £32.75 just not good value or even good! Next time I will walk the 3K, lesson learned!

As a treat for me and my mum I booked a spa day with afternoon tea. The spa was fantastic as well as the treatment. However when we found the bar to have our afternoon tea, the tables were all full of plates and glasses and there didn’t seem to be enough staff on. When we eventually sat down in the snug, it was like sitting in a cave. No music or ambiance, so I played some music on my phone. We were served our tea and coffee quite promptly, but to food took some time, not a problem if you are waiting for freshly made sandwiches and cakes. Well it arrived. 😒 no introduction of what the sandwiches were, so had to guess. They were dry and the filling were not recognisable. The scones look like they had come out of packet from Aldi and the slices of stodgy cake were vile. I have been to many afternoon teas and this was by far the worst one. Will never eat here again!!

Visited for a nice meal in the restaurant and a nice drink down in the bar afterwards. Lovely welcoming staff nice selection of drinks and gorgeous views of the golf course. Nice bonus to watch the footie too.

Another customer had to call reception for the then , receptionist to come down and serve us. AWFUL PLACE!

We had a few drinks here before going to the restaurant, Weather was good so took the opertunity to sit outside Good selection of drinks and good service

Sat at table, was ignored, ordered at the bar, night manager more interested in giving new start a hard time than providing good service, food arrived eventually fish and chips , mushy peas cold chips cold and soggy. Had to return to the bar to order desert. Not impressed!

I had a good fish and chips meal here on 22 December with a few beers. As I was staying at the Windmill Village Hotel for 5 nights I visited the Cellar Bar a number of times for drinks. It is an attractive bar area with good service, but somewhat strangely it lacks atmosphere. Had it had live music over the Christmas period I would probably have spent more time and money there.

Really not sure whether to write this review for the Cellar Bar or Fairways restaurant. We'd booked for the Cellar Bar but on arrival of a pre meal drink they didn't seem to have us booked correctly. Family group of 9 for 6pm in the Cellar Bar, ended up being persuaded to go upstairs to Fairways Restaurant for 6.3pm but we could have the Cellar Bar menu (?). 2 meals came which were almost finished before the accompanying chips arrived. One of the children's meals missed completely and we ended up getting it when everyone else in group had finished. Food was fairly nice, except for the extremely salty fries (McDonald's style pre salted?). Service not great. And restaurant was cold. Table near to us had been to fetch coats! Unlikely to return, and good job we all had Taste Cards to reduce the bill. Some further discount was given for service issues.

Me and my partner went for dinner last night. What I wanted from the menu wasn't available but the manager said she would ask the chef if he could rustle up something similar. He did, a chicken pie with mash and root veg. It was the nicest meal I have had in a long while. All fresh as well. My partner said the same about his meal, a chicken curry. There were not many people in so it lacked in atmosphere which was a shame. The manager in particular, I didn't take note of her name (long dark shiny hair) was very pleasant. The epitome of good customer service.

If you are not a golfer I would suggest you don't eat here. A family of three we ate here and were very disappointed, about to receive our meal and a man walked over and announced to the waitress he wanted to watch football so turned the volume way up loud (above our heads), he then sat and watched as I moved all our things including the high chair as I couldn't hear myself think (showing absolutely no consideration and in fact smirking as I struggled). We mentioned this to the waitress as we paid for our (overpriced and average) meal and were told that he was in fact the owner of the bar. It was bad enough a total stranger doing something like that but clearly as the owner he has no consideration for customers - would not recommend in the slightest, such inconsiderate behaviour from management.

We went to the bar in the hotel for our evening meal. This was due to the restaurant being formal and we weren't dressed or in the mood for formal. We were very happy that there was the option of bar food too. The waitress was unfortunately, very miserable. We ordered prosecco she brought it over, plonked it on the table and walked away... The cork and wrapper was still on it! We opened it ourselves and it was a beautiful prosecco. The food was delicious and the manager was very friendly. It was just a shame about that one waitress!

Four colleagues and I had a really excellent three course lunch with drinks, coffee and mince pies for a very reasonable £160. The food was well cooked and very tasty. The staff could not have been kinder. 2 different starters, 4 different mains and 5 different desserts. Would we return ? You bet!

Visited for lunch. Although it was a nice food and atmosphere and overlooked the golf course, it was expensive. 3 x sausage sandwiches and 3 x alcoholic drinks = £28. Not sure it was worth anywhere near that much but hey ho, it was a treat.

Expensive drinks. Patio doors over the golf course and we were lucky the weather was good so we sat out on the patio whilst the wedding photos were being taken in the grounds

Almorzamos en el Cellar Bar mientras esperábamos para registrarse en el hotel. Nos pareció que la zona de restaurantes y de ser bien establecida, y muy bien decorado. Sin embargo, esto es donde los aspectos positivos empiezan a correr finas.

El hotel tenía dos bodas el sábado, que tenía un golpear en efecto en el servicio en general. Las comidas en el Cellar Bar era demasiada cara y el servicio era muy lento. El snack bar pedimos (éramos un grupo de seis) tardó años y cuando se entreguen era incorrecto. No muy impresionado!
