Four Oaks in Birmingham

Staff were excellent - particularly Maria but disappointed with the menu - much more by limited than it used to be. What happened to the sticks?

Ample parking. The Four Oaks is beautifully designed and decorated, everywhere was very clean. Our waitress was really friendly, helpful and knew the menu very well. Prompt service. The food was hot and delicious, we both had the fish pie and could taste all the different kinds of fish. A really nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Great service, food was decent, nice friendly place to eat

Nice upmarket pub grub food should have been hotter the soup was only luke warm the sandwich needs to be bigger It’s not all about profit

Great visit for Easter Sunday lunch… food was great; all 4 of our party enjoyed their various starters, mains and desserts. Service was impeccable… Maria was so friendly and warm, attentive . Excellent

Maria was absolutely amazing such a lovely host xxxx

Great time looked after by Maria who went the extra mile and is lovely

Was OK but was probably overpriced for what it was. Food wasn't great, just OK. I am annoyed that the service charge was put on the bill but I hadn't noticed so the server got a cash tip on top too. You'd think he'd realised and double check with me as I was paying the whole bill for 5 people. Won't bother going again.

Parking was a nightmare, many customers driving around to find a space , including on the street. We booked daily in too. Food was not as good as normal, steak was tough, and fish greasy. We normally have a great meal. The noise levels were very high, unable to hear the server or speak to one another on the table. Disappointing visit

We went on a Mother’s Day with our two dogs and loved the Sunday roast.

I brought a drink before my freind and was not informed about the 2 4 1 :(. He was told it is 2 4 1 on all drinks , I feel they should let all customer aware of offers as he was served after me and upon asking if I could have the offer as they had not informed me at time of purchase, I was declined. Please make all customers aware of offers so we don’t miss out !!!

Absolutely awful experience here I would give one star if possible. RUDE AND INCONSIDERATE STAFF

We visited The Four Oaks for Sunday Lunch. It was perfect in every way. We were greeted at the entrance by a polite member of staff who immediately took us to our table, as we had a reservation. The restaurant was warm and comfortable, and the level of cleanliness was commendable. Once our order was taken, the food arrived quickly. The presentation of the food was excellent, and the quality of the meat and the vegetables was superb. Table service was great and we were attended to professionally. We will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

Birthday with the family, booked the private dining area, 14 members of the family looked after superbly by Josh and the rest of the Sunday team. The birthday girl celebrated her milestone in style

PLEASE ban the dogs please its really ruining your pub they don't belong in a restaurant no matter if you like them or not it smells gross and dogs scratching there fur all over the food and people is disgusting. please just stop letting them in there was a dog hair in my food once :(

Lidia was the highlight of the night! Not only the food was great, the drinks were delicious. Lidia took care of us from the moment we walked in, she cared about us, she ensured we felt at ease, welcomed. She is a super start and we will be back. Thank you Lidia and the four oaks team.

The food is delicious ... I visited late morning for brunch ...there is a smell of 'wet dog' as soon as you enter... Atmosphere because of the smell & it being cold feels grubby, I watched a server moving a large amount of water glasses with her fingers/hands in the glasses to move them from a table & set up... Wanted to ignore but it put me off using the glasses for water...basics of hygiene. Shame as I have been into this pub alot of times & dogs are made very welcome... The food is exceptional; unfortunate the stale odour of wet dog (only way I could describe the smell) & no heating when I visited on a cold day let's it down big time...

Very good roast, nice atmosphere and great service

Food was cold had to ask for it to be warmed up.wine on special offer was sold our on three different choices.Ordered flat white coffee that never arrived. Waitress was very nice but service was not .Please note this was after 3pm and not busy very quiet.Would not recommend eating there over priced for service provided .Food was nice but definitely not worth the £90 price tag will not return .

Very enjoyable visit for Sunday Lunch, great atmosphere, great food,and excellent service a big shout out for our server Maria you made our visit extra special.Thankyou and we will be back soon.👏

Fantastic time, great food portions were huge but delicious and ambience was warm and toasty near the wood burner. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Mum thoroughly enjoyed her 83 birthday except for the singing but that’s down to the fact none of us can sing. Thank you definitely visiting again

Lovely pub for an impressive lunch and the cosy fires made it very warm on a cold day! The service from Maria was great, very attentive and friendly and a special shout out for the chef Alex for the amazing sticky toffee puddings.

I booked a £45pp set menu for Valentine's night. Food was great and so was the live singer. My only disappointment was the £12.50 supplement for a steak. Not great. The atmosphere was superb and the staff were well trained and prompt with everything.

Nice pub, well done out. Good atmosphere. Nice menu, better than a usual pub food offering. Most of the food was good, apart from the lamb ragu, which was disappointing. Service a little hit and miss, staff more interested in chatting to each other, had to look for someone for drinks orders and the bill.

Visited The Four Oaks for Sunday lunch and was impressed. Very busy inside (which is always a good sign) but the service and quality of the food was great too. Speedy service from Sean who was very affable and helpful. The food arrived quickly - we had the pork belly and roast beef, and left extremely satisfied.

Me, my partner and our couple friends enjoyed a fine evening of delicious food, great drinks and quality service. Our waitress was Gorge and she was superb, very polite and helpful always floating around ensuring our needs were catered to she is a superstar. The food was delicious especially the Camembert to share is was a generous portion. Overall we all enjoyed our time here it's a great establishment, has modern and cosy vibes would recommend here for couples night or evening drinks. 🌟

Excellent food and good service

The menu was a bit underwhelming. Also we had a private event at this pub and booked the private room space but they double booked so we ended up getting a normal table in the middle of everyone which wasn’t helpful at all…. But they did offer the first round of drinks for free which we appreciated. The drinks selection was nice but the food for me personally as a pub there could have been much better options, fish and chips were nice & also the ragu lamb pasta.

Disappointed, since the refurb the place has significantly changed. Rather an unwelcoming environment to the average local and extremely over priced food, with a very restricted menu. We felt so uncomfortable we left and went to a more friendly and welcoming establishment. Shame really, as we use to love coming here.

It was a lovely presented and cooked roast dinner and the puddings were lovely.Good service as well.

I have been a couple of times since the refurb. It is just simply a beautiful pub! The meals are well presented and the wine list is awesome. Craft ales available if you like them. I liked it before the "crafted" refurb, but now it's in a league all of its own. Friendly staff, excellent meals, good steaks cooked to perfection! Amazing! I will go again! 👍🍷🍖 We have been since but I'd like to see baked salmon on the menu please for my wife. The menu is good but not as comprehensive as I'd like. We will be back but will have to ponder over the menu a bit more. The wine list BTW is awesome and the beers available too, as well as the gins and cocktails etc. It's an excellent pub but I reckon the menu choices are going to be down to what is popular. I'm looking forward to going back to try something else. 👍🍷🍖 Have been a lot more times. It's always nice!

Possibly the best pub food I have had in a long time.

Lovely meal roast dinner was good. Worth a visit.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, unfortunately I don’t think you should expect customers to tell you how to pour some Coke into a glass and then add ice. If you’re going to fill the glass with ice and with very little soft drink it’s not value for money. No other pubs in the area do this so I can only think it’s a scheme to save money (this is an observation over several visits) you won’t get a loyal customer base if you cheat your customers. As mentioned the hot chocolate is generally very good so it shows you have potential to provide a great service, it’s just not consistent. On this occasion the hot chocolates we ordered were terrible and the cold drinks full of ice… Normally the hot chocolate is really nice but today we paid for milk with some chocolate sprinkles on top. Not great when it’s the only thing you came in for. Also the soft drinks are 90% ice and 10% drink you’re essentially paying for frozen water. Not great for a pub where drink quality should be a focus!

Disappointed with the service, roast dinner came out, then we waited 10 mins for veg and then another 10 mins for gravy. No apple sauce left even though a pork belly roast was on the menu. We were asked if we wanted a jug of water for the table, it never materialised. It’s a shame because the roast was tasty if not a bit cold.😕

We went for breakfast for the first time since the renovations and we were blown away by how amazing the place is inside. It’s got a really nice vibe with a very luxurious design. It’s comfy, cosy, but modern at the same time - just a fab place to be! The staff were beyond great, very chatty, charming and smiley. The dealt with our request with absolute pleasure and made the whole experience a delight. Service was quick and efficient and really attentive. My only downside to the place is the food. The prices are high, which are reflected in the place itself and the staff, but unfortunately not the food. I can only comment on the breakfast, and lunch / dinner may be different! The drinks were great, but the food lacked flavour and seasoning, and didn’t live up to the expectations. We had an array of meals between the 7 of us, all nice, but for the price, something a little more was expected. All in all this place was a joy to eat at and experience, but we expected a little more from the food. The staff are great though, and the vibe is lovely.

My new local although I have to pass three pubs to get here

Very good , excellent wine, good service,

Our first time visiting since its change so we didn’t know what to expect. Food was very good and the service by Lily was fantastic, thank you

I attended for a small funeral reception Friday lunchtime. I had not been to The Four Oaks for about 5 years since leaving the area and was blown away by the standard of food and service. You are a credit to the area well done !

This place has been suggested to me so many times but I think it fell flat of my expectations . I’ll try again maybe it was an off day

Nice and cosy and staff very friendly, but the food was overpriced ,a glass of coke £8.50 ! The service was slow ,they brought out the main courses ,but the veg took a extra five mins to come out ..also not alot of gravey with the roasts. Also they add on 10% tip.i would not of gave a tip so high as we were disappointed

Very nice food takes taster card as well

Visited boxing day evening at 6pm upon entering noticed the most awful smell of dog urine really bad in the bar section, sickening smell, it’s actually not hygienic to have dogs there and we were seated in the main restaurant dispite asking for a booth where animals normally don’t enter, several big dogs there as well, all Shaking their fur everywhere the smell was so bad I literally don’t know what the owners are thinking allowing dogs amongst people eating it’s just gross, we ve been customers for nearly a year we won’t be returning, wasn’t just us that noticed the smell either, I’m actually disgusted we didn’t even want our food as the pungent smell was just vile, paid our £50 and left

Our Christmas lunch booking started off well but as soon as we had our main course things just started to go wrong with a mix up with the deserts, sorbet and coffees. A member of staff was abrupt & not very nice. We ended up with no coffees and chasing for our food. Shame as it started off lovely. Megan was lovely & as an apology took the drinks off our bill. Thank you.

We traveled to Birmingham to celebrate my wife’s birthday with friends and family, great venue food service and atmosphere all fantastic highly recommended well done Adam and the team !!

Came here Boxing Day .. Food is good except there was a hair in my food and the whole pub smelt of dog wee it was absolutely disgusting and won’t be returning because of this non of the staff seemed to care either and ever when we left the smell was so bad we could smell it on the way home never again

Came to The Four Oaks with all my family on Friday evening and WOW what a amazing experience! Food was so good with the service to match. My waitress Eleasha was great and her knowledge of the menu top notch, nothing was too much to ask. My little brother has a severe gluten and nut allergy and she was extremely vigilant and really put my mother at ease! Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous meal to celebrate my mother-in-laws 83rd birthday. Food was great, excellent customer service and a lovely atmosphere. A gorgeous venue anytime of the year but Christmas time made it extra special.

First Time there today for lunch. got food order wrong & when it came my wife couldn’t eat hers, ( Rushed & not cooked ). Service Really poor,we had to go to bar 3 times to ask for Water Etc as when we asked waiter he just brushed us off. Gents Toilets Not working . Basically Really overpriced for what it is. could of spent 1/4 of the money & got Better service & Value @ weather spoons on the island. Just a not nice experience all round,but we vote with our wallets & our feet so just won’t go again . Have Booked a Table @ Romantica for Later in the week as you can’t go wrong there.

Poached egg was overdone. The hot drinks came a little cold. But all in all, the brunch was very good and we would definitely return!

Disappointing visit for our friends 40th Birthday….Table booked for 7.30, didn’t sit us down until gone 8pm… Forgot to bring out some cakes we asked for that my wife had made…Just a shambles with no urgency. Food was decent tbf, albeit my pie was quite dry. Service slow Would not visit again.

First time visit and an excellent experience. A very enjoyable Sunday lunch with friends. Good quality food, fair portion size with a good drinks menu and fairly priced wine list. Didn't have any draught beer but I did notice an excellent choice of beers. We were very well looked after by Sean. Thank you.

Food is always fresh & lovely, service is exemplary. All are friendly & efficient & we honestly love the calm, clean surroundings with great decor. We will definitely recommend & will be returning ourselves !!!

Visited for the wildwood wreath making event. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service on the bar.

The busiest pub in the locality on a Sunday afternoon? Not for you , if you don't like dogs though. Sharing board was just the job, sausage roll and scotch eggs.

Wow food was fabulous staff friendly, food came super fast. Tastes great. It wasn't cheap, but well worth it x

Lovely roast and the service was so fast, would go again

A very nice pub Very warm and very tastefully decorated. Drinks are expensive here, but.sometines its worth it! Criticisms, a lot of dogs, thought was unusual. I would like to see staff be more proactive with glass collecting and general tidying. One particular member of staff, however, was always working very hard. Short funky blonde hair. Recognition to her. Others pleasant enough.

Lydia was amazing 👏 kind, helpful and patient. She dealt with 12 of us without getting any orders wrong! That's Lydia, you are brilliant 👏 Please improve on the vegie choices though. Not enough interesting choices for us fussy eaters 😁

I came for my 30th with my family! And we had the sweetest waitress- Lydia! She was so kind and made sure we was all ok! Kept checking on our food and drinks! She made the meal great thankyou Lydia! Lovely food and drinks! Defo will be back xx

Popped for a quick pint at bar after work. Ordered cider. Mentioned ity fiends are here. Balance caution comment. 'You have friends' made to feel unwelcome. Cold ommnts. Will not be coming back. Other better places and avoid barman nasty unwelcome comments!

Guinness was solid and pizza was really good. Good vibe too

Darcy managed our booking of 22 people for an engagement meal and she was absolutely fantastic! She made sure we were all ok with our food, made sure it was easy for people when people paid and just an all round lovely and friendly person. Keep up the hard work you do! We need more people like you. Xx

This is a lovely spot for a special Sunday lunch with family. Maria our waitress was particularly welcoming and helpful.

Called in for lunch having read Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. Good variety of dishes to choose from and we enjoyed our choices. Lovely helpful and friendly staff and very comfortable seating areas for us and our dogs. Looking forward to our next visit.

We only popped in for a quick drink but the place has a great vibe. Would definitely go again. No comments on service and food as we didn't try any.

Had a couple of lunches here recently and both times it’s been really lovely. Sunday lunch was very busy so service was a little slow but still good. The food from the lunch menu we had on Friday was superb. Knowledgeable cheerful staff who were very helpful and welcoming too. Our new favourite Four Oaks/Mere Green place to go. Keep up the good work guys.

What an amazing pub, serving fresh food and wonderful service from all staff, I will definitely be returning and recommending this gem to others.

Was a lovely afternoon- the place is beautiful and so is the food ! Maria was our waitress and she was amazing & so welcoming:)

Great food and staff 1st visit on a Saturday afternoon , we had food and drinks in the bar area, which was quiet just how I like it . Sirloin steak chips, etc. was so nice that I had the spider crab butter with this and when so well together instead of pepper sauce .

Super food, fantastic service by Beth, we will be back. Server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with enquiries

I'd not been here for a number of years, as I felt the food quality was quite poor and service. However, after visiting today, I was pleasantly surprised with the food, service, and environment. I really enjoyed the steak sandwich and chunky chips on the lunch menu. I recommend giving it a try.

Best Sunday roast out for a long time! Especially impressed with the wide range of different vegetables.

Not good experience, there is private / special dining room in the restaurant which had private party going on. This room has no doors to isolate, hence the very loud noisy with unpleasant conversations, which the staff made no approach to calm down people in the room. This room should be equipped with door, etc. In addition the person serving us forgot our 2nd round of drinks which were ordered just before meal was served. After reminding the staff, finally drinks arrived almost 30 minutes late, by that time almost ready to depart.

Lovely pub. Amazing atmosphere and great service.

Amazing pub, cosy atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Maria was such a lovely waitress, very polite and nothing was too much for her. The food was 10/10, the best roast we’ve had. Would definitely return again!

Amazing food and top notch service. Were made to feel very welcome. Highly recommend and really dog friendly

We love it here, food is amazing and I just love the atmosphere and decor. Also might add the complementary bread and ginger butter is a delicious touch although a little disappointed the last time we visited as we only got one tiny slice of bread each 😄

Very much enjoyed our visit to The Four Oaks, special mention to Marie who looked after us, so attentive, a lovely evening with great food The only negative is that the car park was full when we arrived, it was difficult to park having to wait for people to leave

Love this place. Great atmosphere. Great in summer for the garden area but also amazing in winter with the fire place.

Great pub tasty food food amazing. But it clearly states on Google that you welcome the blue light card but it was refused. Also the entrance doorway is very slippy when raining

Very friendly staff, warm welcome and clean

This is our third visit. Absolutely fantastic food, the waiting staff were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic evening at Four Oaks as always. Thank you to the wonderful staff. Especially Alice.

The interior is very nice. Ordered two glasses of Chardonnay and it wasn’t chilled. Asked for a replacement and the attitude of the bar person was to make me feel as if I had asked for something unreasonable. She said the wine was from the fridge, as another customer said to me “just being in there doesn’t mean it’s cold “. She brought another bottle, also not chilled. I asked to change to Sauvignon which was very chilled. Proved my point and was grumpily told that is because it was in the ice well. Not an experience I will be repeating. I’ve had better service at Weatherspoons for a third of the price 😕

A beer and a wine - taken out a new mortgage to pay for it !

The service was slow with both the drinks and food. The GF seasonal fish and chips was very poor. The fish felt as though it had been microwaved. The non GF fish and chips came with the fish overcooked and the chips undercooked. However, the chicken course was delicious. We will not be eating there again.

Myself and my partner popped in for lunch last week. Couldn't fault it for what we paid. Quick and friendly service

Great place where enjoy good food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Definitely going to visit again!

I have been to this restaurant/pub a few times and the atmosphere has always been amazing. Great staff, great food (steak in particular is very good) and great beer selection. I would definitely recommend!

Went called in advance and were told the restaurant was fully booked but we could sit in the other areas, presumably the bar, where there was no table service. There was a queue when we got there and it wasn’t clear whether the queue was for the restaurant and whether we should just walk in and find our own table. The staff seemed a bit disorganised but were friendly and polite. There was a lack of vegetarian options for mains - salad, risotto (seems to be the standard veggie option in most places, very unimaginative), a fake meat burger, or a tomato pizza. We ordered two pizzas at the bar and when they arrived, my friend’s pizza had hardly any mozarella on and mine had way too much - very inconsistent. The pizzas were £13.50 upwards and honestly, tasted like Greggs pizza only the tomato sauce was overpowering and there was way too much of it. I would expect much higher quality pizzas for the price considering Rudy’s is about £10 for the same pizza and it’s delicious. The new decor is nice but the food was very disappointing. We used to come here for food often as it was always nice but honestly won’t be returning for overpriced, unpleasant food and a confusing experience.

I was extremely impressed with the service and resultant positive atmosphere when I visited. We had a lovely dinner with the pork platter/sharer a particular standout, it was absolutely outstanding. As a non-drinker I was pleased to see a wide variety of alcohol free beverages on offer. The Lucky Saint on draft was incredible. I will definitely be back for more food and drink!

Great atmosphere at the pub Good choice of drinks and food Friendly staff

Popped in for the pub quiz this past Wednesday. It was my first time visiting for the quiz, was a great atmosphere and an enjoyable time had by all. The service was speedy and friendly with good choice of drinks available. Will defo be back for the next one 🙂

The Four Oaks is a culinary gem that combines elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped by the rich, earthy tones of the decor, which beautifully echoes the natural beauty of the oak trees surrounding the restaurant. The service is exemplary—attentive without being intrusive, with a staff that is knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations tailored to your preferences. The Four Oaks is more than just a place to eat; it’s a dining experience that lingers in your memory long after the meal is over. I can’t wait for my next visit.

This is our go to place. Food never disappoints and the atmosphere is fantastic!

Disappointing experience. Overpriced. Poor quality food. We ordered starters.. OK my friends mussels looked great. However my mussels as a main came out cold with little sauce. Waiter apologised and said they would prepare another one... same plate came out, microwaved and water added to sauce. Disgusting. I sat watching my three companions eat their meals. Ordered a cheese board, luckily could only order 3 cheeses not 5 because "we only have 3 types". THE worst cheeseboard ever. Despite telling them I had a severe intolerance to seeds, there was a slaw with seeds in, great, couldn't even eat that. Cold brie, small piece of cheddar and an end of cheese I can't even recognise and would have thrown in the rubbish bin. Lazy kitchen staff. Never again.

Such a lovely warm atmosphere and gorgeous wine served by a lovely girl called Lily!
