Edwards in Birmingham

I booked Edwards for my mums 80th Birthday and can honestly say it was amazing. I pre ordered afternoon tea. Nothing was too much bother for them they sorted a table for 8 in the corner which we were allowed to decorate. My mum thoroughly enjoyed it along with friends and family. A big shout out to Natasha who was backwards and forwards with refills and anything else we needed Thank YOU.

Tarde encantadora, muy buen té, muchos sándwiches y pasteles y una gran cantidad de mermelada y crema para el bollo. El único inconveniente es que soy un bebedor de café y el que estaba incluido en el té era amargo

Edwards es un restaurante encantador, pero no mucha gente lo sabe. Este restaurante está dentro de la tienda de muebles de cocina, es un restaurante muy agradable y puedes desayunar, almorzar o cenar allí. Los pasteles y cafés son muy agradables y el personal es muy servicial, he estado con amigos, familiares y con mi esposo, hemos estado para almorzar, cenar y tomar el té de la tarde, que por cierto también es muy agradable, también lo hacen los domingos asan cuando tienen suficientes personas que lo requieren.

Visité a Edwards para un pastel y un café, pero terminé almorzando pescado y papas fritas fue encantador pescado totalmente fresco puro blanco delicioso Regresaré

A friend and I visited for lunch. (My friend had been before when it was under different Management. She also returned for a charity event, which she said the food wasn't brilliant and the service felt rushed.) We both had jacket potatoes and coffees, the food was just okay and not cheap. We weren't made to feel very welcome, the lady behind the counter didn't believe in smiling! We both agreed we wouldn't return, but as previously mentioned, she was committed to attend a charity event, which she regretted. There are lots of better venues for lunch. The service was fairly quick, as they kept telling us what time they closed! Very limited choice, as you would expect.

A Friend and I stopped for lunch and it wasn't a particularly good experience. The lady behind the counter didn't do friendly or welcoming and kept reminding us what time they closed. The choices were limited and we both had jacket potatoes, which were okay. My friend was unfortunately committed to return again to a charity event, which she didn't enjoy the food and felt rushed. Neither of us felt this was a good experience and doubt if we will be back, when there are better options. It is only a cafe not a restaurant and the menu is limited, but quite pricey.

Came here as it is local and the reviews were mostly positive. Expensive, tasteless food. Chips (cheap frozen type) were scalding hot and just given my toddler with no warning. Sandwiches were nothing to shoutilise home about. Overall would not recommend or return.

Went for lunch with a friend and were sorely disappointed. The waitress didn't seem to know what was on the menu and justified this by saying she didn't usually work there! My jacket potato looked and tasted as though it had been in and out of the microwave several times and was served with a small portion of salad covered in a rather unpleasant dressing. None of the hot puddings on the menu was available - a run on puddings, apparently, though no more than six other diners had been in the restaurant while we were there and none of them had pudding! All in all a great disappointment.

My husband and I had a voucher to spend in Edwards. We popped in for lunch saturday. I had a tuna mayo salad which was delicious. Very substantial and clearly freshly cut. Best salad I have ever had in this country!. Will go back just for that.

Visited early afternoon. One person serving and lots of tables uncleared from lunch. Quiet but no hurry to serve more interested clearing from lunch than customers. Ordered tea and a panini which was undercooked and not completely hot through. When we tried to pay no one was there, then the single member of staff appeared but spent 5 mins on her mobile not noticing me standing there. Ok one off visit but not impressed with the service or food. Gave no tip.

Have a few times before and not been disappointed but I am afraid this time my wife and I had the caeser salad my wife had this in a wrap. The dressing was really only mayonnaise which was the main ingredient the chicken was tasteless. This dish needs a rethink as I would think it may disappoint many people. The service is quick and friendly .

Lovely food, lovely staff but this is a furniture shop in Erdington-and not the best part of the town! It's weird because I really don't know who would think, "Ooh, let's go there for tea..."

We had read other reviews and so my wife "treated" me to a birthday tea. The welcome was poor, as was the service and the food little better. It is absolutely immaculate and comfortable, but the food deeply disappointing. The four finger sandwiches each were filled with: sliver of ham; grated cheese; tuna mayo; egg mayo. None had any salad such as cress with the egg or cucumber with the tuna. But they were freshly made. There was a little lettuce as garnish which was already going brown and horrid. Next were the scones; there was one plain and one fruit. They were fine but we're served with a large scoop of poor quality jam and a very small pot of clotted cream to share. After these we ordered tea, which was superb, but the waitress forgot to bring any milk and it took me nearly 10 minutes to attract her attention. Finally the cakes. Various different sponge cakes, none very nice. All in all a great disappointment.

Visited today with my mom my daughter and sister, had a beautiful Afternoon Tea for Mothers Day...couldn't fault a thing...Sharon looked after us and made our visit perfect...nothing was too much trouble...we will definitely return.

Visited on Saturday afternoon for High tea ....very nice lovely atmosphere...very friendly staff booked for Mothers day keep up the good work!!

I visited at 2.30pm on a Sunday. A very smart and classy looking restaurant. The quiche and salad was extremely tasty and the service was attentive and efficient. Really enjoyable.

I recently visited this restaurant with a group of colleagues for afternoon tea, the decor and restaurant itself is lovely however the portions were small. The staff were very friendly and service was good however I think the price of the afternoon tea is too...

Came here in March for my husband's birthday and treated him to afternoon tea. We were a little apprehensive if it was going to come up to expectation but we needn't have worried. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the tea was wonderful....

There is only one word to describe the whole experience, LUSH, had a really lovely time as ladies who lunch. Afternoon tea was well presented in a very pleasant environment.

We both have had Afternoon tea a few times the last time late last year. Our tea and coffee was ordered first then came our 3 tiered cake plate stand with 4 finger sandwiches each all with separate type of delicious fillings. next we ate...

Went for a treat for my husband's birthday. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the afternoon tea was excellent. The atmosphere was good with the background music being just that. The lunch menu looked so good that we have promised ourselves another treat...

Went with a friend who had been given a gift voucher for afternoon tea as a present .Luckily I had looked at previous reviews before going as it would be difficult to find if you didn't know you were looking for Cookes furniture store.Afternoon tea...

We decided to visit Cookes thinking we could combine two things, purchasing a chair and lunch. The choice is very limited its more somewhere to go for afternoon tea not really lunch. We had Mediterranean vegetable quiche and salad which was disappointing the quiche was...

Lovely afternoon tea, staff are well attentive and polite. Ambiance very quite, very clean. Shame the lift was broken, no access for disabled people.

Called in for lunch - sparse choice for main meal, jacket potatoes + fillings or quiche with mixed leaves and coleslaw or sandwiches/panini/baguette. Chose quiche, very small slice only, with miniscule portion of salad and coleslaw, barely a mid-morning snack. Ridiculous price not only for...

Ok went on a Living Social deal but this in no way seemed to undermine the offerings. What I like about this is the sandwiches are freshly made, scones looked as if they had been baked on the premises and we enjoyed a very good...

The restaurant looked really nice and the staff were very efficient and attentive .our food and drink arrived swiftly and the sandwiches were lovely ,the Scones would have been lovely if they had been warm and unfortunately the cakes did not appear homemade .It was...

Bought a Living Social deal for two afternoon teas with prosecco. Have visited numerous places for afternoon tea including many five star hotels but this place beats them all! Friendly, helpful staff who made us extremely welcome, five different finger sandwiches, five or six different...

We have been to this restaurant before and looked forward to our visit Sadly afternoon tea was a disappointment- finger sandwiches some only contained cucumber! Scones were stale - cream not fresh cream - artificial whipped cream - tea did not taste like Earl Grey...

We walked in having looked forward to Sunday lunch and relaxed shopping. We were seated at 2pm (Sunday lunch is seved until 3pm), given menus and then totally ignored for 20 minutes. We tried to attract the attention of the waitresses but they kept turning...

Brilliant restaurant, the food was sublime, the service was spot on and a restaurant with a very enjoyable atmosphere! It's a very close run thing between here and Adams's that is Birmingham's best restaurant, l happily keep visiting both for now though!

I took my aunt here for a birthday lunch.What a mistake. The sevice was very slow but this couldn't be helped as they were a member of staff short. The food was not even bar snack standard. My aunt had salmon (which was warm &...

Situated on the first floor of the vast Cookes furniture store in Erdington, Edwards, as you might expect, is a nicely furnished restaurant serving excellent food. We went for lunch and had the steak and kidney pie and the scampi followed by apple pie and...

Enjoyed a very pleasant lunch with friends recently in a very comfortable, well laid out, tastefully appointed restaurant. The meals and drinks were served promptly chosen from a varied menu. The staff were friendly and the quiches we chose had a homemade feel about them....

Paid a visit to this well decorated restaurant within Cookes furniture store. I had the breakfast baguette, which came with chips - too much to eat! ...would suit someone with a big appetite! Service was a little slow, I'd finished my coffee by the time...

Popped in for drinks had wine guns and some cocktails. The service was quick and the drinks were nice. Pleasant atmosphere. Nice to stop off during our crazy Christmas market day out.

We visited your lovely Restaurant with my Brother and Sister in Law for Sunday Lunch. They had visited before and always had great meals. Your Restaurant was so elegant, a very fine pianist was playing beautiful music. Our meal was superb, the starter of liver...

We went to the store to buy a chair and knowing they had a cafe thought we'd get a coffee. Coffee ended up being orange juice, a Full English for sir, and Eggs Benedict for me (£4.95 and enough for 2!) we then had coffees...

We were looking for somewhere nearby for tea and scones and had trouble finding Edwards to start with. Needing to check the SatNav we pulled into the car park of Cookes Furniture. It was only then, behind the tall hedge, that we saw the sign...

My husband and I enjoyed tea for two on Friday 8.8.14. Lovely food, lovely staff lovely surroundings.

Restaurant in a furniture shop, what a good idea. Think about what you are buying whilst enjoying a snack or 3 course meal!! Hadn't visited since change of owner and was pleasantly surprised. Great menu and elegant surroundings buit really reasonable prices. We had homemade...

My boyfriend and I love dining at little hide aways, with a quick internet search for afternoon tea I found Edwards Restaurant. We had done our research to understand that it was within Cookes Furniture store so it was no surprise. The restaurant is located...

What a great idea, having a very good Restaurant in a furniture store. There is nothing much around the store site so this fits perfectly with the couple of hours you need to tour all the furniture (which is immaculately and tastefully displayed, and no...

This was booked on an afternoon AfternoonTea for Two voucher. I went with my 23 yr old daughter. What a. Lovely surprise venue this was. The restaurant is upstairs inside the furniture store. It is beautifully designed and decorated. The restaurant staff were very welcoming...

We're regular afternoon 'tea-ers', been to lots of places, locally, round the country and London. Have to say this was one of the best we've had. Obviously doesn't have the ambience of the finest tea rooms but lovely restaurant setting, great staff, and the actual...

The Afternoon Tea is delicious. Very well presented with plenty of choice fresh ingredients. Tea was tea leaves which was gorgeous with your own individual strainer. Excellent value for money in an unusual setting of a furniture store, but would certainly return.

Elegant atmosphere, but a letdown in general. It may be the best place in Erdington but better head for Birmingham city centre for better fare. Interesting menu, good variety. Main course (sea bass) was pretty good, but nothing special. Dessert had potential but was not...

We have been to Edwards a few times, mostly for their lovely breakfast, but last week we went for afternoon tea. Whatever we have had here, has always been delicious . Tea is proper loose leaf tea, the food is always freshly prepared and well...

We've been to Edwards several times using various voucher schemes and have had breakfast, afternoon tea in the past and this week we had lunch. We've always enjoyed the food and this time was no exception. Both my husband and myself had chicken cooked in...

So what if it is located within Cookes furniture store.......Try Caffè Florian within Harrods or The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon inside Fortnum and Masons, they sell furniture too? This place is classy, those light fittings alone cost a fortune; not to mention the glass etched...

Can't believe the one negative review I read because we are on a groupon but treated like princesses! We travelled from leicester against all odds! But we made it though spaghetti junction to a lovely treat! Don't be put off by the location x

Lovely fresh food although a little pricey. Staff are very friendly and helpful. A nice break from deciding on your furniture purchase in lovely surroundings.

Visited on one of the living social deals. Must say the standards far exceeded expectations. Beautifully presented decor, immaculately clean, smart furnishings and a fabulous display of fresh cream cakes etc,etc. The sandwiches were fresh served with salad and assorted crisps, home made assorted scones...

Really changed from the Two Jays, which had been there for many years. They've updated the restaurant and the menu is varied. I've had their wraps, which come with a lovely garnish and vegetable crisps. Plus also a lovely Caesar salad, which was a little...
