Lyttelton Arms in Bromsgrove

Big posh pub. Lovely interior and lovely outdoor area- but over £7 for a pint of ordinary bitter!! u gotta be joking! Such a rip off. Needless to say- I'll wont be going back!

Good high quality food pricey but worth it

We went to the Christmas Breakfast with Santa, and left feeling a little disappointed tbh. Whilst the Santa, Grotto and Elf were really good. The breakfast itself was so small. We also had to request our toast, which came 5 mins after our breakfast and we had 6 half pieces, to share amongst 5 adults and 4 kids! For a cost of over £150, it wasn't great.

The ambience is very warm and inviting and a lovely atmosphere. The food and drinks were ordered easily and promptly for a party of 3. The reason why it wasn't 5 stars, our food order took absolutely ages to reach the table I didn't realise it had been over an hour. We prompted our new server Kelsey, who was friendly immediately checked and came back with our food. The service immediately improved and no fault to be found for deserts etc. I would recommend it to others for the nice atmosphere.

15 of us went last night, only 3 meals looked ok. My chicken was hard and overcooked and I didn’t want to make a fuss in front of others so I told the waitress who just said sorry ( they’re obviously used to complaints). For £18 for 2 pieces of chicken and a few potatoes was really overpriced. I was warned it wasn’t good so won’t be going again and the fact I didn’t have a reduction on my bill, won’t be going again. We sent our order for food weeks ago so shouldn’t have been a problem. When the bill came with a surcharge and the £10 which we had to pay wasn’t taken off until someone remembered. Not happy 😡😡

Convenient halfway point for family get-together. Food was fine, but at lunchtime it would have been good for some lighter options on the menu for those who might not want a full dining experience. Unusually the dining room was cold.

Went with a large party of 15 staff friendly and polite good choice of drinks however food for a few of us was poor no consistency very long waiting time what a shame we sat at the main road side of the restaurant windows require serious maintenance so cold wouldn't recommend.

I was greeted by a very friendly and professional lady, I was shown to the table which was in a delightful area. The staff were helpful, professional and polite The food was delicious. I will definitely make a return visit

Great service and food. I'm a coeliac and they modified my chosen meal for me. Big portions!

15 of us had dinner here last night and it was outstanding. Really easy to arrange, fabulous food, and superb service - huge credit to Laura for looking after us all so incredibly well. Thanks also to the chef and his/ her team for such wonderful food. We will be back!

Very nice place to eat. Only four stars given, because the fish was more batter than fish. Love the surroundings, the Christmas trimmings were beautiful and gives the whole place a nice and cosy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to others .

Well I met my friend for lunch food was nice booking 12 we were there at 11.50 we were asked to wait outside for 10 mins as customers were not allowed in till 12 then half way through our meal a girl with baby and mother were put on next table the mother kept talking loud the girl was trying to stop baby crying was feeding baby toys on the floor so as my friend couldn't hear me we moved to bar for coffee we were disappointed. I was not happy. The waitress said you will have to pay bill at table before we move to bar. I think women with babies should be put away from people trying to relax. I shall think twice in future wasnt very relaxing. Janet smith

Booked here for a family lunch get together on Sunday 17 November 2024. Because we had been there in the past on several occasions and had been impressed with everything. It was also a central point to meet up for those of us who had travelled for the occasion. The atmosphere was just as we remembered and it was very busy. Always a good sign. One of our party was a ceoliac and I have several food allergies not intolerances. My husband emailed all the details and was assured they could cater for us, so he booked with confidence that all would be well. Sadly on the day this was not the case. On inputting my allergies into the allergy guide I was left with a Sunday lunch of cabbage, green veg and carrot. Our server was great however and went above and beyond to help. After several back and forward trips to the kitchen she eventually came up with a plain chicken breast, new potatoes, cabbage and a whole roast carrot. We supplied our own gravy. They do not have dairy free gravy. The food was all cooked really well and everyone was happy with the quality and quantity. They did have a dessert that I was able to have which was good. I expected better of a gastro pub of this calibre. Apparently most of the food is bought in and only has to be taken from a packet and cooked. The gravy is premade and the chickens are pre packed ready seasoned.I was only charged for a childs meal because of the limitations. The rest of the party said they would go again but sadly my husband and I will not. Once again I have to praise and thank our server. She was brilliant only wish I could remember her name.

We had an afternoon event with a buffet. The staff were professional and helpful and the space was perfect for our event

We are here as a group of 13 including 2 children. Booking process was very easy online and we had a small private room which was perfect for our group. Whole pub was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Service was attentive and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. Kids menu had good variety and there was clear allergy info. Overall was very impressed.

Had Sunday lunch, 5 people. I chose the trio of roasts sharer with my son. Plenty of food for two, and was cooked perfectly. Sat in the dining area which was very comfortable. We were served by the friendly Laura, was most helpful with the choice of desserts for the rest of the family. Vid of the chocolate bomb pudding, my son was most impressed 😋

5 star review for our server Laura . She was the only server on both the private room and main restaurant and she was so efficient and friendly

Elinor was great! She was very friendly and looked after us very well. We love coming here for food and it’s so nice when the staff are genuinely nice!

Lovely lunch on a Saturday afternoon...I had a lovely mushroom risotto. Great service from the staff, especially Lauren. Would highly recommend!

Excellent restaurant. Wide choice of menu items. Reasonable and sensible prices. Well trained professional staff.

Food tasty but small portions. Good selection on menu. Service a little slow. Fire gave one person breathing problems

Fantastic place and wonderful food. Highly recommended

Came in here for Sunday lunch and what a wonderful experience we had Thanks to Paige who went behind and above to make the dinning experience.

Had Kelsey as our server, was lovely, would reccomend :)

New menu is a vast improvement , particularly in regard to vegetarian options. Service and food were very good. Only slight negative was it was not particularly warm where we sat

Another reliable meal here, good food and super service from the lovely Laura!

We were looked after by Kelsey, she was brilliant. Food was top class. Definitely recommend.

Had a lovely family meal tonight, a huge thank you to Kelsey who looked after us all night! I definitely would recommend the pizza!

Amazing Sunday roast! Thank you to the lovely waitress Laura who served us! Great service x

great looking pub service not the best they bring your food out with no cutlery and all at the wrong times so you dont eat at the same time . the food and beer was nice but a bit over priced

Excellent food and service, we were served by Paige and nothing was too much trouble. We celebrated my husbands birthday and will return.

Wonderful Sunday roast. Lovely staff, especially Kelsey!!! Will be returning:)) chicken burger was good, pickled cucumbers were so tasty!!

Perfect place for a Sunday lunch/ dinner. Thanks to Kelsey, Nicole, Alex and Marie for looking after us. Definitely be back soon!

Had a lovely brunch today at The Lyttelton Arms. Food was incredible and the service was fantastic. Kelsey and Emma who served us today were lovely, kind and attentive! Thank you!

Just popped in for a drink after a walk. Beautifully decorated and nice atmosphere inside. Pity about the fake plants outside - tacky and unnecessary!

Great food, friendly and efficient service - top drawer!

We've been here several times. The food is excellent and the service is always good. Last night lived up to expectations. We had two courses which were delicious and Paige was on hand just the right amount to make sure we had everything we needed. Great place to go for something special without going into Birmingham. Thanks and see you soon.

Food great and Lauren who served us was absolutely superb and made lunch even better. ***** to all the staff, with special thanks to Lauren

Lovely food and great service by Paige - really helpful and nice. Would recommend the plant based burger.

Visited for our little girls birthday and service and food was fantastic, they made her feel really special. Paige in particular really looked after us.

served by Kelsey was absolutely lovely and very entertaining ! made me feel very special on my birthday, thank you !!

What a wonderful place, Kelsey made it a great night. Fantastic service and the food was great.

Delicious meal and service was excellent

We had a private party in the peacock room with a buffet. The room was perfect and gave the kids plenty room to run around. Great that it had its own loos and bar. Everyone commented on how lovely the room was and also how delicious the buffet food was. It was a lovely bonus having been upgraded to that room for free as there had been a cancellation.

Wow!!! What can we say!? Booked here for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We ordered the wine and dine experience. Wife had Scallops as starter and I had Sticky Chicken. Both had ribeye steaks. I never order ribeye, but my god it was exceptional. Creme brule pudding. 10/10. Food was exceptional. Service out this world. We felt like royalty. Thankyou so much. Will 100% return.

Lunch with my two children. We all came from different directions and the restaurant was an excellent choice. I'd recommend it 👌

We had such a lovely meal here. Busy evening but still looked after where our waitress Becky went above and beyond. Nice to see a fire when walking through the doors on a cold night. Would come again! Thanks for 10/10 service Becky 😊

Great food and atmosphere. Good value for money. Service was brill 😊 thank you !

With a large group of family . We were seated in the furtherest corner, it was dark and depressing. With the toilet facilities on the other side of the building it was difficult for some to access. Service was slow but took an age even though it was pretty ordered. When the food did arrive, it tasted wonderful,but may be because we were hungry. Nice place , nice food ,slow on service when your spending £600+

Kelsey is the best - food and service were excellent

I love this pub though I haven't been for quite some time. I was really looking forward to sharing the chateaubriand which is what I had last time but I was gutted to see they had stopped doing it. Last night they only had Rib eye steak, they'd run out of fillet. Only one special out of the three was available. I really struggled to find anything on the menu to order. In the end I order cod and chips. My husband had pork belly. I'd describe our meals as average. The fat from the fish had run all through the chips, so I left those. My husbands pork was quite tough and needed cooking for just a little longer. The service was superb, the ambience is lovely in there. Just disappointed with the food quality and the menu.

Excellent meal today, party of 3 really looked after by our waitress Lauren. She was friendly, knowledgeable and so good at her job. Congratulations to chef, all meals were spot on. Will return

The food was delicious and Kelsey was a lovely waitress, thank you!

Great atmosphere and food! Kelsey was our server and did a fab job looking after us! Thanks all!

Great decor, good selection of food and drinks, however , visit let down by service. Eventually served by miserable unapologetic staff member, clearly returning from the stock room with boxes "Sorry to keep you waiting / thanks for your patience", and a smile would be a big improvement. Better luck next time.

Had such a lovely birthday meal here. We had a lovely lady called Laura she was so friendly and always checked on us if we needed anything else ! 💖

Had a lovely meal and the service was excellent. Even adjusted the bright lighting for me.

Had a great meal tonight, really lovely atmosphere and time with family. Our sever Laura was really efficient and looked after us brilliantly. Really good to see great service match the vibe of the place. Really good to have a meal that was well paced - sometimes food comes way too quickly in restaurants but this gave us just enough time to enjoy the company & the food was great!

Went for lunch with my daughter today. Food was amazing and reasonably priced. The service was excellent from the staff especially waitress Sammy. Will definitely return and very happy to recommend.

Great meal and exemplary service from Kelsey. Looked after us so well. She’s a star.

£6.70 for an orange juice and lemonade. Absolutely scandalous… Update However, after posting a negative comment, management were very quick to respond identifying an obvious error in the bill. A week later following our next visit, the lovely manageress resolved the problem in full. 10 out of 10 for customer service. Normal service is resumed…

Kerlsey was very helpful attending to all your needs with a smile.

I went for a few drinks mid week, easy to park, lovely relaxed atmosphere, great service.

Fantastic food and service for a birthday meal.

Lovely meal as always and especially fab service from Sophie, who made a beautiful meal and evening even better by realising we were out celebrating my birthday without us telling her. Thank you.

Had a lovely date night with amazing food. Kelsey did her best to look after us, she was incredibly lovely and welcoming. Thank you, Kelsey! <3

Our wine and dine experience was so special! My mum loved it for a belated birthday celebration - Kelsey's attentive service and enthusiasm was much appreciated. The complimentary Chateau D'equiem at dessert was sublime!

Lovely evening with friends and Laura out waitress was very friendly and pleasant throughout the night. The meal was lovely and we all enjoyed our meals Also the mini puds and coffee. The only fault we had is that we were opposite a work station not far from the doorway, not a very nice sight to look at, a dust pan and brush cleaners and a bin which wasn’t even tidy! The restaurant is done out lovely but that’s not a pleasant thing to look at whilst you’re eating your meal. I wouldn’t have it in my dining room.

Excellent Coctails, especially by Joel 🍸🍸

Food and service all excellent. Love the wine and dine menu. Very accomodating to our son who is GF and me on my birthday. They allowed us to have fillet steak as rib eye had ran out on wine and dine menu. Long wait on mains but compensated us with a bottle fizz.

Lovely pub situated in a nice area,great selection of food and drinks,would highly recommend!

We had all that we requested for in our booking, a friendly greeting on arrival. Food was good, service was good and the atmosphere was great.

Service,food & drinks were all very good. Very enjoyable lunch. All very good. Excellent.

Enjoyed food in the outdoor area, food was nice. Mojito cocktail was very refreshing. Atomsphere was quite lively for a weeknight, quite a few large parties but this wasnt an issue.

We had a fantastic birthday meal that was absolutely delightful from start to finish! The food was fantastic, with every dish beautifully prepared and served promptly. However, what really made the evening special was our server, Laura. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Laura’s service truly elevated the experience and she is a credit to her workplace. She made us feel so welcome and made the birthday celebration even more memorable. Highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely evening Laura!

We had a fabulous evening on Thursday! Flo looked after us and made it so comfortable; nothing was too much trouble. Special thanks also to Sam and Kelsey who were warm and welcoming, always with a smile. Chef Dave provided an outstanding dining experience and he accommodated all our requests. We loved the ambience, decor and furnishings of The Lyttelton. We shall definitely be returning.

I have been to this lovely restaurant a few times now. The setting is very nice, well-spaced out and not too noisy. The decor and furnishings are nice and calm. The staff is always professional and welcoming. The food menu is simple and seems to be regularly changed with specials added. The quality is good, with reasonable portion sizes. I would recommend this little venue to any couple or family wanting a nice bite at a reasonable price.

Came for lunch with a friend. Food and service was excellent. Special mention to our server Sam. He was very polite and friendly.

A must for a Sunday roast that is above the ‘norm’. I went for the duo of beef and the rib was delicious, my partner had the lamb special which was also amazing. We also took our 4 year old who cleared his plates (both main and dessert) so that speaks for itself if you know what it’s like feeding a child :) Flo was such a great host, we will definitely be returning.

Good meals and snacks atmosphere and clean good customer service

Came for a late lunch last Thursday.My friend had rump of lamb,I opted for lamb shank.The food was absolutely delicious,perfectly cooked and presented by Amalia and Dave and served by the lovely waitress,Tia.A perfect way to spend an afternoon.Thank you so much.

First time visit will definitely be going back.

Lovely place to have a treat and enjoy a meal.

Had a lovely meal for a group of eleven. Laura with the blue hair was very friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble to ask. Thank you Laura

This is a Lavish restaurant with a wide range of very mouth watering and delectable food available for all. Food was served with a welcoming and friendly smile. Staff very helpful and ensure you are having a great experience. You can see they take pride in their work and definitely work well as a team. Only small thing I would add, is that I myself had a steak; if sauce is actually included in the price. overall, a positive experience. Well Done 👏🏻

Food is delicious, we popped in after a walk on Clent, we hadn't booked but there was no need as we sat outside under a canapy. Food was tasty and delicous, couldn't fault anything. We liked the mini desserts as you could have a smaller portion with a hot drink. Will definitely return.

Flo was an excellent server, very accommodating with allergies, would definitely ask to be served by her again if we came back !!!

Excellent service by Sophie! One of our family has a food allergy and she was very attentive and helpful with selections and made us feel very at ease. Food was fresh and delicious. Excellent meal overall!

Lovely food in a relaxed atmosphere

This gastro pub is well known by locals in Stourbridge. Great looking venue, helpful staff and great food. Scallops excelling. Meet pie delicious.

The service was great. It was an anniversary celebration and we were kindly given a free glass of prosecco and the food was delicious.

Absolute incredible place, went for surprise 1year anniversary meal and it was such a great night. Great food with great service, our waitress the young lady with blue hair was so great and friendly

Food was terrible (for price). Goats cheese salad barely edible. Linguine with prawns dry so had to ask for extra Olive oil from the kitchen, Med Rare steak was cooked Med Well, Salad very vinegary. Wedding music blasting through restaurant which clashed with the normal restaurant music. Staff were really friendly and attentive which saved this from being the worst meal we’ve had in the last 5 years.

We went for the 3 course dinner menu for 2 (including a bottle of wine) for £100 per couple - this is excellent value as some of the main courses on the menu would be over £30 from the à la carte, and the selected wines over £40 per bottle. We had an excellent evening - great food, atmosphere and at the right pace. We were served by Laura who was excellent - very efficient and friendly.

Unfortunately my 85 year old mother has suffered from food poisoning after eating here on Tuesday,my brother who ate some of her fish was also violently sick...awaiting a reply from complaints form

Highly recommended, lovely meal.

Hannah was lovely and welcoming and was working very hard and well with all tables. Hannah is a credit to your company. Emma was lovely too and compliments to Lauren the chef! Definitely one of our new locals!!!

A good pub. Food is good. We visited on a Sunday lunchtime and the service was a little slow due to too few staff at the bar. We had a problem with our order but they dealt with it satisfactorily.

I recently dined at Lyttleton with a good friend, opting for the £100 wine and dine menu. Overall, we were pleased with the food and the service, but one aspect of our experience left us rather disappointed. As we were finishing, we decided to change our dessert to cocktail with an Aperol Spritz and requested that the soda be swapped for lemonade. To our surprise, when the drinks were brought over, the waitress—who was otherwise very attentive—reluctantly informed us that the manager had decided to charge an additional £3.60 for what amounted to a small dash of lemonade. While we fully appreciate that premium ingredients and special requests can come with extra costs, charging £3.60 for a simple substitution felt excessive, especially given the already substantial price of the meal. It left us with the impression that the restaurant was more focused on profit than on providing a seamless dining experience. That said, the food was excellent and the service was attentive. However, the unexpected and unreasonable surcharge for a minor drink modification cast a shadow over an otherwise enjoyable evening. We hope that management will reconsider such charges in the future, as it detracted from an otherwise lovely dining experience.

We had a very enjoyable experience at The Lyttleton Arms. The service was excellent & the staff friendly. The food was very good & reasonable portion sizes. Prices are on the higher side for pubs, but it is certainly worth paying the extra for the quality. The decor added to the atmosphere of the pub. Tables were well presented. There is an outside seating area, which is ideal when the weather & light permit. There is also a large car park.
