Cottage Farm Stables in Solihull

Really tasty breakfast, well prepared and lovely sausages! Great value too and good service, a real homely feel. Would visit again

40 minute wait for a couple of rounds of toast. Not a busy morning, but clearly they had forgotten our order. No apology, just said they do orders in the order they are taken. Been here many times and never had such poor service

Lovely place just turned up on speck, good breakfast menu, only disappointment was they couldn’t do an oat latte as was a standard coffee machine

Lovely reasonable priced place to eat . Great atmosphere at the stables and you will see people riding . The food is always good , the staff are lovely.

Saturday morning breakfast out . Taking 3 x dogs 🐶 always a challenge. Sadly our pup somewhat embarrassed herself in not reading the page on how to behave when in company . I understand totally that dogs are not everyone’s cup of tea , so I accept complaint and apologies to you , and hope that your morning out, was not ruined too much . Really enjoyed brunch ☕️ Would visit again Would Recommend ⭐️🍳🍴 Note to self leave pup at home 🏡 🐶 reading up on how to behave when out for food 😢

I can not think of anywhere else I’d rather go for an amazing breakfast. Since first dropping in a few months ago, we have now become regulars, enjoying a regular Sunday morning breakfast! The food is exceptional, amazing big breakfasts , the staff are friendly and welcoming, the cafe it’s self, located next to the stables, has an amazing cozy feel and is stylishly decorated with beautiful handmade wooden works of art. There is even a a little shop selling beautiful hand crafted wooden pieces. I highly recommend visiting

Hugely impressed by the Cottage Farm Stables. Such a hidden gem - I couldn't believe the attention to detail on the interior of the restaurant. Fabulous breakfast, superbly cooked and excellent, lean ingredients, crusty bread and a choice of eggs and even tomato's! These guys have really paid attention to delivering an exceptional, hearty meal. with friendly, attentive, but unobtrusive service. We were both very impressed and will definitely be going back regularly! Compliments to the all the team.

Had a lovely week away the cottage had everything you could want great location and lovely welcome pack would highly recommend dog friendly homely and clean

Originally came here after being turned away from Elderberry Blacks for the second time in 3 weeks. This time at 12:00?! As they had no hot food left... Anyway! We headed to the stables (first visit) We wanted breakfast but they had stopped serving it so we had the 11.99 Sunday lunch instead. Wow! Just wow... From the open fire when you first walk in, to the final bill. Everything was perfect. Pork and Beef were so good. Gravy, Yorkshire's, stuffing, little sausages etc. Portion size was so generous too. Staff absolutely great and lovely homely atmosphere. Would happily pay 14.99 not 11.99. We will 100% return and try the breakfast next.

This cafe is hidden away but is an absolute must. With a horse riding school on the grounds you will forget the city stress. The home made sausages are nice and thick with great espresso with friendly staff it’s a great experience and taste. The owner is an amazing family man who is an absolute Gent. I don’t make many reviews but this was one I had to do. See you soon Simon.

First time visit to the Stables having walked past there so many times. Popped in for brunch. Very friendly staff, good breakfast, both the full English and the vegetarian version...lots of it...Good price and very good value. Will definitely visit again but will possibly order the smaller version....highly recommended.

Had a lovely time here, was lively, and the staff are ace. Especially my server Courtney. Big smile and was very friendly. Definitely will come back

This was the first time we had visited this café which is located within an equestrian centre not far from Solihull but in a rural location. There was an extensive breakfast menu which seemed to be very popular. We both had a cappuccino as flat whites were not on the menu. The staff were very pleasant.

Had breakfast and carvery during two visits in Dec 21. The breakfast is well priced and excellent quality, they put a lot of other places to shame. As for the carvery, it’s the best we have every had. Lots of meat that is cooked to perfection and a veg range that spoils you. Got to say also that the gravy is that good I would have it on everything even cornflakes! If you have room for desserts then you won’t be disappointed with that either. Fantastic family atmosphere and excellent food. What more could you want?

What a hidden treasure, the food is amazing. We had a sunday carvery the best I've had to date. Really friendly atmosphere and the staff can't do enough for you. We will definitely going back. Hugely recommend this place

Decided to have breakfast here. Absolutely superb. Probably one of the best breakfasts that I have had. Highly recommend it

I would like to say a big thank you to the staff at the Stables for their kindness for making two lovely sandwiches when they were closed for a very hungry paramedic crew. We appreciate times are hard right now for everyone and it’s these...

Nice place for breakfast, we called in on spec, no need to book. Our first time here, didn’t know this place existed. Glad we found it. Rustic style cafe, excellent COVID measures in place. The team really give every part of the tables, chairs and...

Amazing quirky venue with the most amazing staff who couldn't of been more helpful and accommodating and not to mention the absolutely delicious carvery...they definitely don't skimp on the meat. We were all so stuffed after the carvery, but we couldn't resist their deserts, their...

Ace breakfast, wanted a good breakfast on a Sunday morning to set us up for the day. This place is ace, great food, good atmosphere, very reasonable prices. Love it. Will be back.

Perfect in every way! Cosy setting, friendly staff, excellent food and drinks. Portions are great (huge!) though I’ve only every eaten breakfasts so far. I haven’t yet been for a carvery but definitely will. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Great staff and great food. Haven't beens of a while because of covid19 but hope to return soon - we can take the dog too!

Been awhile due to the pandemic and went today on their first opening for a Sunday carvery lunch. Format of the room and servery has changed. the food remains good quality at an excellent price - and you go back for more. Though one full...

My friend found this little café online to break up our 4 hour journey for a spa weekend and it was great!! It really started our weekend off for some great relaxation time. We both just had a sandwich, my friend prawn marie-rose and I...

Staff where really friendly and helpful. Went with my son for breakfast as we both had day of work. We both had the full English breakfast. We were ask how we would like our eggs cooked.which was nice. The breakfast arrived in good time and...

Lovely little place with great food and big portions. It's dog friendly which is great for us. Loved sitting in front of the fire.

What an amazing find, tucked away at a horse riding stables. We were a group of 9 turning up for a hearty breakfast before the NEC, wow we were not disappointed. The staff were amazing, so helpful. The breakfasts all came out together, freshly cooked....

The place was just excellent. Breakfast was absolutely lovely and service couldn’t be faulted at all. Will definitely be returning had a lovely day.

Have visited twice within the last 3 weeks. Good varied menu, speedy service and the food was good and very good value

Tasty full English breakfast reasonably priced and served well. Everyone enjoyed. Menu small which is probably a good thing. But maybe pancakes with fruit and maybe another vegan option would be good.

Really glad we came off the M42 for lunch. Very warm welcome, great fresh and hearty food, roaring fire and very reasonable prices. Very impressed.

Booked a table for 3 people got seated in the coldest corner of restaurant asked for wood burner fire to be lit got told no one available sat in our coats walked out

Parking might be difficult but we were lucky. Initially you wonder what you have come for but when the food arrives you are surprised at the quantity on the plate . We left empty plates. I had the hotpot whilst my wife had the gammon and eggs. She commented the chips were the best ever. From where we were sitting we could see a riding lesson taking place to add to the interest.We will return. Amazed how cheap for what we ate.

Veggie breakfast was huge with 3 hash browns and was delicious, traditional breakfast equally as tasty. Really friendly place and couldn’t believe 2 breakfasts and 2 drinks came to only £13, will definitely be back

Fabulous breakfasts, great choices for me, was able to offer gluten-free toast. Service okay, we were both happy with the quality and quantity of the food. Happy to recommend.

Saw this as a local recommendation and gave it a try. Great range of breakfasts - plated or as sandwiches - and excellent value. Decent pot of tea, and a video link to the neighbouring riding ring in the stables. Lunch menus look good too, and will be tried soon

We found this place on trip advisor and decided to visit on out way north. What an amazing find it is too, definitely a hidden gem. Staff lovely and attentive and served the most amazing breakfast and coffee. Told a friend about the place who travels a lot for work, and he's been there too now, and said he will always make the detour now!

Food was mediocre. Warm but average. Staff inattentive. When I mentioned it she just shrugged her shoulders

Lovely country style restaurant with riding stables attached. Although I believe it started the other way round!

food looks nice, chester looks like good horse, nice people , good atmosphere, good time cheers it was nice

Wow the best carvery I have eaten in years, lovely meat great selection of vegetables it was so enjoyable & in such a lovely setting definitely my new favourite place!

Beautiful fresh food. Excellent service friendly helpful staff. Beautiful surroundings and extremely clean

Met with family for breakfast and all were very impressed. Sausages in particular are lovely and of a high"local produce type" quality. Staff were superb and(Zack) couldn't do enough to help and offer recommendations (amazing cake!). Very much look forward to visiting again.

Chose this amazing venue in place of a dull hotel breakfast and thank goodness we did! Gluten free bread available for my coeliac daughter and a wonderful range of breakfast and lunch choices.

Really lovely breakfast, lots of food! They certainly don’t scrimp. Even for children’s portions.

We have recently had visitors from Denmark, and we took them to a breakfast, a lunch and the Carvery on the Sunday. It was just fantastic.. The Restaurant was full for the Carvery. You have to make a reservation at the beginning of the week to get a table.

Searched for a lunch venue en route to Nottingham and found this place.

the 3rd time i’ve been always been the same great service, friendly and attentive. food is great and location is excellent. worth the travel out for

This is a carvery which my friends thought was excellent. I am a vegetarian and had a pie which was also really good. the carvery is only on a sunday so best to book.

Stumbled on this place on our way back from Solihull following a quick Google. Loved it, the service was friendly and attentive. Food was great and excellent value for money - we’ll be back :)

Been here quite a few times now and each time it’s been great, proper home cooked breakfast. Love this place.

Good food, good service but our small group found the place decidedly chilly. Nice to see a small range of vegetables on sale along with other bits and bobs. If it had been a bit warmer I would have given it a 4 star rating.

After visiting for breakfast, thought we would give the Sunday carver a go,

The breakfast was nice but the place was dirty, full of dog hairs. Just as our food came out , the owners dog threw up on the floor behind our table, which put me off eating anymore.

Visited for breakfast on a recommendation, I wasn’t disappointed! I went for the full English and it was great, service was good and staff very friendly.

I have had several brunches and carvery lunches here and the food has always been excellent, and the staff very friendly and helpful. My vegetarian wife was also well catered for in the carvery. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone

Proper black pudding, fantastic sausages, slightly crispy bacon, golden fried bread & lovely thick toast. £7 for a full English & pint of orange juice.

One of the best value for money full English breakfasts in the area. Very interesting surroundings with it being surrounded by stables.

booked for carvery over the phone after family member had been for breakfast and said it was lovely, had to pay deposit over the phone due to numbers, nice decor inside, busy, left sitting waiting till the staff advised you have to go up to carvery before it closes, wasnt aware it was this kind of set up, meat looked nice enough and nice portion size, no yorkshires or mini sausages left, when we sat down to eat all ten of us thought the same, everything was pretty much tasteless, veg overcooked, the mash potatoe was the worse ive ever tasted, definitly no seaosning or butter etc used, looked grey in colour, roast potatoes bland and luke warm, gravy was like water and tasteless, honestly so disappointed we couldnt believe it, worse carvery we have ever had, pudding arent much good either, had the chocolate brownie which must only be served warm when it is first cooked as we had four slices all cold. definitly wont be going back.

Excellent food never been disappointed always a good choice if entertaining friends. Out of the way place and can be easterly missed but don’t give up. Look out for the sign slightly hidden by the trees. Feel sure you all will have a memorable time there. Fresh cooked food and a very good portion no place left on your plate. No short measure.. Friendly popular and interesting place put it on your bucket list.. Excellent value guanatee you will go back.

Arrived at 10.30 on a Saturday morning, place was busy but found a table. Service was quick and friendly and the food was excellent. Highly recommend.

My husband and I called in for a short visit around 11am. The restaurant was busy and had a great, friendly atmosphere. We ordered coffee and cake, both at a reasonable price, and it arrived quickly.

Having been shown to our table, first thing i noticed was flies flying on the uncovered cranberry sauce, apple sauce etc, this put me off having any of these, Having been served my meat which was not covered or had any heating over it to keep it to the legal temperature, I asked if there any yorkshire pudding to go with the beef only for the person who had cut the meat for me to go into the hot cupboard and bring yorkshire pudding out in a polythene bag then processed to throw then into the container with the roast potatoes and parsnips, the mash potato was a grey colour which tasted like dehydrated potato, Gravy was coloured water and the whole meal was cold and tasteless. by the restaurant been so close to the stables more care is needed for the food to be covered at all times,

Really tasty breakfast, well prepared and lovely sausages! Great value too and good service, a real homely feel.

We had a reception here after our daughters wedding blessing.Great venue, top service and very helpful staff. Not many places have this character and setting. Delicious pig roast and extras. Laid on favourite beer. A happy day, highly recommended.

Go here regularly and love the place. The food is fresh and delicious as well as plentiful. Dog friendly. Apparently does an amazing carvery on a Sunday but booking is essential.

Marvellous food, best carvery we have eaten for a long time. Well cooked and plentiful. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Always on hand to assist with plate carrying as there is rather a steep walkway from dining area to serving area. Excellent value for money.

Have visited here before but this was the first time for midweek lunch , i had the ploughmans baguette & my wife had the tuna melt baguette ,both baguette were excellent ,both came with a side salad & crisps ,we also had a lovely pot of tea for two ,Total cost was £12.30 which was unbelievable value

What a lovely welcoming eatery. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful and the food is great home cooking. Extremely good value. I cannot fault it and, as an amazing bonus, dogs are allowed. It is a perfect puppy training setting in a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. You can even watch riders in the adjoining indoor horse riding centre.

Incorporated within equestrian facility so expect a lot of flies,which is what we encountered.The cavery not ideally best placed,next to bar and kitchen areas so whilst queuing for food a steady stream of waiting staff are constantly back and forth.The actual food is edible but is very bland and only lukewarm.Also the gravy is coloured liquid,thin and tasteless.This food is cheap,so all I can say is you get what you pay for.

I had never heard of the Cottage Farm Stables until I was looking on TripAdvisor for somewhere new near to Solihull to have breakfast. We have now visited three times in just over a month and the restaurant offers very good breakfasts at reasonable prices.

We have visited here twice, and was impressed with both the breakfasts and the carvery, both were very tasty and enjoyable will definitely be attending again.

Visited for breakfast with my whole family, everything was great, thank you for looking after us, will be back

This place was recommended to me. Had a full english breakfast and pot of tea. The breakfast was excellent! Will be visiting again. Excellent service and excellent value for money the breakfast was £5.50 and the tea was £1.50

What a great place. Plenty of caricature based within the riding school

My friend and I visited for brunch. Although the review said there were gluten free and vegan options there was no soya/plant milk for drinks and my friend who is allergic to wheat had fried bread put on her breakfast. We had to ask 3 times for some jam for our gluten free rolls - and then received one small portion between 2 of us - and had to ask for some more - twice. We had to ask twice for some cutlery too. The staff seemed quite unsure of what they were doing, and didn't seem to listen.

We spotted by accident hidden away. Looks a bit rough and ready but us a little gem. The tmosphere is really chilled, the breakfasts are tasty and good value served hot and pretty quickly and the staff are really friendly. Will definitely return...

So Glad my friend introduced me to this little gem. Absolutely lovely service and food and really good prices too. Far better than local competitors. They’ve definitely got it right. Would definitely return.

Went here on recommendation and was not disappointed. I had the full English for less than £6 and the bacon and sausages were high quality too. Included everything, egg, bacon, sausage, tomato, hash brown, black pudding, mushroom, fried bread, and beans. The coffee is good too. Generous portions well cooked. Are coming back to try Sunday lunch.

Second visit to The Stables and on both occasions ate breakfast that could have done with being hotter . Like other reviews suspect food cooked earlier and left on 'warmers' Standard of food good so shame about not being hot enough. Served on both occasions by same person who could really do with going on some customer service training course or work through some issues.

Brilliant breakfast, huge, hot and well cooked. Great that the place is dog-friendly too. We really enjoyed it and we’ll be back soon.

Needed to find somewhere for breakfast one Sunday morning and as we were not local we found this place on trip advisor. Very charming rural location where you could observe riding lessons in progress. They serve breakfast till 11.30am on Sunday. Very busy when we arrived at 11.15. Staff were very welcoming. Good choice of items on the menu. The full English was great value and good portions. Coffee was really good quality. The breakfast sandwich was like an manwich! The bacon and sausages were also delicious and you could tell they were high end. Very child friendly and dog friendly. All in all we loved it. When we left we saw the carvery being prepared and that looked amazing. Must try that next time. Would recommend this place for sure. Great value for the money.

Superb Sunday carvery here. Huge portion of meat and great selection of fresh vegetables. Very impressed. Booking in advance advisable.

We were looking for somewhere that served breakfast a little later than most and found cottage farm stables. We found an excellent tasty breakfast at a very reasonable price and very friendly staff in a fantastic setting. Will definitely return for breakfast and will look into other menus they offer. Thankyou.

What a great place. To be able to watch the horse riding lessons and also to be able to eat lovely food in the restaurant! The food was very good and decent size portions. The waitresses were very friendly. I would definitely recommend and I will be returning again very soon!

The owners of this business obviously failed the entrance tests for the popular carveries where the meet is somehow sliced within the thickness of graphene - The Sunday Lunch portions here are huge and well prepared. The staff are attentive, efficient and friendly.

Went with friends for lunch in the week. A wonderful hidden gem. The food was delicious with plenty of choice. Would not hesitate in returning!

Went for lunch on a weekday, first time visitor & found it by way of Tripadvisor. Lovely place, full of character.

breakfast was fab and a good price . very rustic .very friendly. dogs welcome .. good staff. car park was a muddy patch and we soon realised most people were in riding boots or wellies . nice view of the horses and rider training area . worth a visit. if we go again i think we will wait for better weather . bottle of wine was pricey at 16.50 .dog loved it .

Four of us enjoyed cooked breakfasts with a few tweaks to the menu. Friendly fast (but not hurried) service. Delicious breakfast especially the sausages. Just one observation, if you don’t like dogs especially round food then this is not the place to come.

Very nice full English, quickly served and generous portions. Perfect for anybody who wants a quick meal, well cooked and very fairly priced. However, not for me as I found the wooden chairs uncomfortable and could not stretch my legs under the table due to some elaborate ornate metal work taking up all the space in which one would normally place ones legs. I could not hear the waitress due to the intrusive noise coming from a loud radio, whoever went for a meal and asked for a radio to be switched on? For people who may not know the dining area is reached by crossing a stable yard so be prepared for muddy shoes or wear wellintons.

Three of us visited today and enjoyed a really good carvery meal and for only £7.95! I had 3 meats, a huge slice of roast beef, pork and turkey carved by the owner Adrian. The most meat I’ve been offered at a carvery anywhere and all 3 tasted very good. You help yourself to veg and there’s a nice selection including mash, roast and boiled potatoes and 2 gravies. Best value carvery I’ve eaten. The puds are home cooked and were superb. I had a berry and plum crumble and my brother the spiced apple sponge, served with cream, custard or ice cream. Excellent meal served by very friendly staff. We’re booking to go back to take some friends, whose children will enjoy the horses, as well as the food!

Keep your coats on. When walking in you come across a huge open fire burning logs, it’s really nice and very warm, however when you enter the restaurant the sign on the door says it all, Please Close The Door, it’s not warm, however the staff and the food are. The food is very good and the waiting for it is minimal, the inside is like a barn where someone who has collected a lot of trophies and nic nacs has found somewhere to store them, we loved it, and our grandson thought it was great picking out the bits and pieces on the walls etc.

Went for breakfast with friends. Food was excellent with large portions very well priced and staff were very friendly and attentive.will definitely go back. It was also great to see the horses in the stables and children riding in the ménage

Open from 07:30 this well hidden restaurant serves up great scrap. Polite staff work their socks off to please. Quality and quantity!... Or something else of the menu. Not just breakfasts.

This place deserves every success in the whole world!! Every single time we have visited it has far surpassed all expectations and have provided us with the very best breakfast ever!! I will go so far to say that it is most probably one of the best ive had!!

After reading reviews for cottage stables we thought this was a must find when staying at the Premier inn which was only 1.5 miles away.

We have become regulars over the past view months to the point they know our order! Great fresh locally sourced food with giant portions in a friendly warm environment.

Came in today with a friend of mine for some breakfast as we were local in the area temporarily visiting the touchwood centre and it was very good food! We had the full English breakfast that is delightly served all day!

Just returned from this place. The food was really nice and very well priced. The staff are very friendly good service. Will be going back very soon. Thanks
