Manor House in Solihull - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Found this place by accident as it is not easy to just conn me across. Fantastic place, great staff, great food and great value. Really nice in the summer in the secluded garden.

Normally go for lunch but we were ealrfyso tried the breakfast instead. Being a veggie, choices are normally limited but this was the full works wotht he exception of bacon. Perfectly cooked, the egg was spot on. We normally ave lunch and the jacket potatoes are fantastic. Cant recommend the place enough.

You won't find a better and more cost effective place than this anywhere in Solihull or the Midlands. Very very clean,staff are so professional and a joy to be served by but more amazingly is the food on offer and at such a competitive price. This is a café par excellent. No it's not a top of the range restaurant with prices to match,it's a cafe ,a tea room,call it what you like but it outshines its competition by miles. Most lunches are priced at around the £6.95 mark and with a huge selection to choose from from your traditional ploughman's through to goats cheese and on to hot meals at the same price. Breakfast is served until 11.30 am and for around the £9 mark you get everything....and I mean everything (drinks are extra). You can mix and match or go for something smaller or different,it's up to you. Staff are always smiling and helpful while busy. It is a joy to enter such an establishment.

Three times now over the last 5 weeks I have popped into the Manor House for Breakfast just after they have opened. Each time I have asked for a full breakfast, absolutely top range,sausages cooked perfect,bacon the same. Hot beans tomato’s,mushrooms and fried egg with hash brown and two rounds of toast with butter. This place ranks in my top three for a full English breakfast especially in Solihull in a competitive market.

Only discovered this Cafe last week and have already been back. Excellent Breakfast Baguettes & Coffees. Really nice room & garden too. Clean toilets. Really pleasant young lady serving ( fab eyelashes).

I few of us came here during lunch staff are very pleasant and the food is amazing have mentioned this place to friends and have all said they had been and also had a good experience there

Great, huge breakfast. Friendly staff and nice place to visit. Cant wait for the sun to come out and tale advantage of the garden

Nice for a change meet up with family and friends been before the food was lovely but mum came with me today but food was not very good jacket potato was cold the only salad we all got was lettuce and one slice of tomato on the sandwiches we ordered

Friendly and efficient service, freshly prepared food in comfortable surroundings both inside and in a peaceful secret garden. We particularly enjoy the sandwiches which are prepared for you to order. A little haven just seconds from the High Street. The café was built onto the Manor House which was built 1485 and its a lovely extension with barn like beams in light wood and apart from the plastic plants hanging from the beams it has a lovely ambience. The staff are efficient and courteous some of them are obviously students they have been well trained and have the right attitude.

Wednesday 1 June 2022, After a shopping spree my friend and I decided we were in need of refreshments and we went to ‘Solihull Manor House’. We entered within and found a nice table for two. We looked at the menu, they did not do a traditional cream tea, but did a sandwich and cake offer which included a drink. My friend had a ham sandwich with a slice of carrot cake and a bottle of chilled dandelion and burdock. I had an egg& cress and mayonnaise sandwich with a slice of coffee and walnut cake and a elderflower presse. The food was nice and very well presented. We spent a nice hour here sitting in the sunshine and enjoying our food.

Nice tea room and gardens. Plenty of seating in and out. order and pay at counter. Cakes were very nice as were the hot drinks. Seemed very popular when we visited , always a good sign. Well worth a visit.

Good food at reasonable prices, pleasant staff and lovely surroundings including a tea garden. Toilets excellent especially in these uncertain times. Well worth a visit. Well done and thank you to all staff.

Dropped in here in search of something not too expensive for lunch - an found it, A traditional tea room style restaurant. You order at a counter (this is not made clear) but thereafter it is all table service. I chose a fish pie, which was as described and very pleasant; well cooked too. Will return and would recommend.

The staff are always friendly, helpful and efficient. Prices are very reasonable. Quite a selection on offer from hot snacks to cakes. The Manor House surroundings give a lovely old fashioned atmosphere to the place. Very well situated on Solihull's main High Street, accessed to the side of the Manor House. Wheelchair accessible. Good loos.

After a visit to the Touchwood centre we called into the Manor house for a sandwich freshly made friendly service.

Order at the counter after you’ve found a table. There are two rooms, a noisy one with lovely garden views, and a quieter front one overlooking the High Street. Food is okay, portion sizes not great, but adequate for the price. Hot food is hot enough. Nothing stands out but nothing is bad either! What is good is the wide and flat access to the front room meaning wheelchairs are ok. Plus big loos too.

A great place for a cup of tea and a sandwich. There are two main rooms, one of which has a fully glazed wall so you can pretend you are in the little enclosed garden, even in poor weather. One of the few cafés in the town centre with an enclosed garden / seating area. The building itself is very interesting and usually hosts a number of independent boutiques / traders. Very well located too, right in the centre of Solihull.

Decided to have lunch here on a day out in Solihull. The front room is very nice, not many tables and a nice atmosphere. The room at the back is much busier and noisier. We ordered a jacket potato with cheese and a turkey and cranberry sandwich. Food arrived in good time, it was nice, good value for money, but not amazing, just pretty standard fare. Staff were really nice and friendly though. It was nice enough, I just wasn't blown away.

Cafe is a hidden gem! It is in the old Manor House on the High Street but not everyone knows it is there. Has a lovely sunny secluded garden at the back - lovely to eat al fresco in the warm weather. Food very good. We visit regularly for lunch or afternoon tea.Needs more support as council trying to pinch the garden space so come on everyone!

Whilst Christmas shopping with my husband, thought we’d grab a light lunch. The actual establishment was nice. I noted the prices were reasonable, if not cheap. My husband ordered a toasted cheese and onion sandwich whilst I opted for egg mayonnaise and cress on a brown baguette... As soon as the plates arrived, I immediately realised the prices were cheap for a reason. I hardly ever leave food, however on this occasion I only ate half before I decided to ‘throw in the towel!’ I’d much rather pay more and have something better than cheap, horrible bread and manufactured egg slush. My husband was of the same opinion with regard to his cardboard toastie.

The cafe is inside a beautiful half-timbered building on Solihull's High St. We have often visited it in the past and always enjoyed our visits. Today though was different. We ordered tea and scones. The tea was insipid and the scones were stale. We took them back and replaced them with carrot cake which was edible - just - but not very good. I left some of it because I got bored with the lack of taste. The staff were bored and seemed to lack motivation. We were really disappointed and I think it will be a long time before we visit again.

Went here today with mum, both picked the ‘main meal’ of lasagne, it was ok microwaved but just about ok, but totally shocked at the minute portion. I have an IPhone Se and the portion was 2/3 the size of my phone!!! The ingredients on the plate wouldn’t cost more than 1.50 if that. Felt ripped off to be honest...our first and last visit. Shame as venue is nice. Suggestion would be to focus on your snacks and take your main meals off the menu as what is served is NOT a main meal. Plus the teabags are poor quality! Stirred and stirred tea pot for one. So weak!!

Fresh baguettes, baked potatoes, lovely cake, swift service, homely atmosphere. Lovely gardens with seating.

My daughter and I went shopping touchwood. It’s a really treat as she no longer lives in west mids, she wanted to buy lunch. I suggested the manor tea rooms it looked nice and different to the child infested McDonald’s

This is a find. It's close to a Touchwood entrance, but has a lovely sheltered and peaceful garden in which one can eat.

I've taken lots of friends here, it really is a lovely place to visit with outside seating in good weather. Food & service is excellent.

Bought lunch here on Saturday. 2 x Awful Baked Potatoes supposed to be filled with pineapple cottage cheese. A meagre dessert spoonful on each with a couple of pieces of tinned pineapple, added to which they were wrinkled and small and the skins were like trying to eat linoleum. My grandchildrens sandwiches weren't much better. They need to learn that charging nearly £5 for a sandwich warrants decent bread and a quality filling not supermarket sliced bread with some sort of plastic ham out of a packet filling and wrinkled up lettuce that they describe as Salad garnish

Looking for a quick bite, almost walked past assuming from the name "Manor House Tea Room" it offered just tea & cakes, then noticed the menu. Surprised by how large it was. Sat outside in a pleasant open area. Ordered and paid for the food, given a number. Despite being pretty busy the sandwiches and plough mans arrived quickly. Nice sized light snacks and well priced.

Fine example of the Todur period showing its lovely curves and black and white style upper with brick lower. The building houses many group for helping people such as alcoholic anonymous

Visited here today with some friends, we chose our food and I went ordered mine and another of the party, we both chose the same, corned beef panini, on the menu it was listed as "corned beef, tomatoes and onion panini" it was the only corned beef on the menu so ordered it asking for 2 corned beef panini, when they arrived there was no tomato or onion on them, went back to counter with them only to be told I had not asked for the tomato or onion, surely if you did not want them then you would have said,in all the places I have eaten this has never happened, found their explanation very strange, food was very poor but the coffee was hot but not very strong. Not sure whether I would go back although setting is very pleasant shame the staff are not.

Second time I have visited. First time I visited the sandwich I ordered was unavailable (they waited until 15 minutes after ordering to tell me). As a last minute replacement I ordered a coronation chicken sandwich. Was thin, supermarket bought sliced white bread and rather than proper coronation chicken It was filled with tiny scraps of chicken that had very lightly been covered in mayonnaise and had curry powder sprinkled on it. It was horribly dry and powdery. I put this down to a one off thinking maybe it had quickly been knocked up having run out of proper coronation chicken filling. I left unimpressed and that would have been enough to put me off, however on a recent visit to Solihull it was impossible to get seats anywhere..except here. So my other half twisted my arm into giving it another try. I asked whether the pork sandwich was made from thin slices of sandwich style meat or thick slice/chunks carved from a joint. I was advised it was carved from a joint so ordered roast pork and ape sauce sandwich. I was asked if I wanted stuffing on it too (for which I was charged extra..and this wasn't pointed out). When my sandwich arrived it was one incredibly thin slice of pork (not unlike supermarket bought sandwich meat) with the slightest smearing of apple sauce and a big dollop of microwaved, soggy stuffing again on thin sliced white bread. I had better quality sandwiches back when my mom used to make them for my school lunch box and at almost £5 for a sandwich I would expect much, much better. The hot food options may be better but after two disappointing visits I won't be returning to find out.

This is a traditional tea room, in a lovely listed building. It’s located on the main high street, beside one of the entrances to Touchwood shopping centre. The coffee and tea are fine, they have lovely cakes and they do lunch and afternoon tea. All of the food is reasonably priced, very good quality. You place your order at the counter, take your drinks and they will bring your sandwiches etc. The service is quick and friendly.

Situated in a lovely listed building in the centre of town, this is a great place to enjoy coffee, a sandwich, light lunch or afternoon tea. There is a special hot dish each day, as well as a variety of small hot food, jacket potatoes, toasted sandwiches and soup. The range of cakes is truly scrummy. Prices are reasonable and the self-service format is efficient.

Lovely selection of food and beverages, well prepared, moderately priced, spotlessly clean, good service, friendly staff

Salón de té tradicional, buen servicio, buen café. Sopa del día era de £4 gulash de carne y tenía aspecto y sabor de un can. No es agradable. Chaqueta de pollo patatas coronación era mucho más y no muy buena. La primera visita, volveremos pero pregunto si sopa es casero. Algunas de las tortas caseras, algunas no parecía.

We were late(ish) for lunch but the full range was still available. The beef stew was really excellent and we both enjoyed our meal.

Not the lord of the manor but a very good cheap eatery with simple food in a very pleasant environment.

Vinimos aquí para el almuerzo durante un viaje de compras de Solihull. Está muy bien ubicado en la calle principal (ya que no conocen la zona). Tuve el pollo y sopa de verduras, que era preciosa. Sin duda recomendaría a cualquiera que busque un lugar agradable para parar a almorzar.

Before going to the cinema in the Touchwood complex we called into the Manor House tea rooms. They prepare lovely freshly made sandwiches. Lovely cup of tea. sandwiches nice and fresh. Quick service. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Después de un café Llamado en viaje de compras y nos sentamos en la parte antigua sección frontal de la cafetería, fuimos hasta el poco más nuevo de orden 3 bebidas y pasteles de té tostado 2 y el personal era amable y eficiente. Bebidas mientras esperé y pasteles de té llevado dentro de los 10 minutos nos dijeron.

another visit to this lovely tea room. Decided on chilli con carne and it did not disappoint. Came with a piece of french onion bread and although there didn't look much in the dish, it satisfied our appetites.

Great little tearoom. Plenty of choice on the menu. I had the quiche, served with side salad and the quality was well above average. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Would certainly visit again.

Had a really nice piece of cake here, cant remember what is was called but it had cherries in it and was cut from a loaf. So I was surprised about the turkey and cranberry sandwich. I was expecting some thing as lush as the cake in thick granary bread with generous slices of turkey but it was an appallingly thin sandwich in what seemed like economy ready sliced bread. The sandwich measured about 0.5cm in thickness. Good cake and service but disappointing sandwich.

This is one of Solihull's hidden gems for lunch. They have a good choice of menu and everything is cooked fresh on site. They definitely offer value for money. The atmosphere is very comfortable, and they have a lovely garden where you can sit in the summer.

This café provides good, basic snacks and light lunches at reasonable prices. Very clean and very popular. The staff are friendly and efficient. The coffee is extremely good and everything is freshly prepared to order. Cannot fault this establishment set in one of the oldest buildings in Solihull. Well worth a visit.

We always eat here when we visit Solihull. today we had chile con carne and very nice it was too.The food is always freshly prepared and is always hot when you get it, you are served on a ticke number basis no matter what you are having so you always get your food in turn. The place is spotless, the staff friendly and always good value.

The Manor House in Solihull is a beautiful example of just how old the town is. It is one of the original structures built in Solihull, and is now a thriving tearoom, enjoyed by many people each day.They serve a selection of hot and cold snacks and cakes, and getting a table in there on a weekday can be a struggle a testimony to how successful it is!The Manor House also houses small stalls, and cosmetics and perfume is sometimes on sale there.The House is on High Street, the main shopping street in Solihull, as well as being right next door to Touchwood.It is sometimes a missed treasure amongst modern shops, but so worth a visit!

Called in for a sandwich and drink while shopping in the town and we didn't want to go to an American style coffee shop.A good choice! Had to wait for a table to be vacated which showed its popularity. A fairly wide range of home made hot snacks and made to order sandwiches and baguettes. Service was fast and friendly - with a very wide range of staff ages!And all in very pleasant surroundings - large windows overlooking a garden and a wonderful (new) oak beamed ceiling.

I had passed by the Manor House many times and never gone in but met a friend and she suggested there. It was full of middle age to elderly customers who were all there sharing time with their friends. The staff and customers were all very kind and patient...service is slow as there is only one person at the counter.The price is very good and I passed a lovely two hours catching up with my friend. There were no screaming children lacking control by their parents and it reminded me of years ago when everyone was more caring and polite than we often find today.I will definetly visit again.

We ahve eaten here many times and always found the tea rooms very clean, the staff very helpful and friendly and the food to be freshly prepared and very good value for money. Today we enjoyed cottage pie and chilli and rice, both arrived quickly, were piping hot and very tasty. The toasties and sandwiches are always prepared freshly and not lurking in ready made bags. Homemade cakes are lovely as well.

It would be easy to walk past this historic building and not realise that the tea rooms were located inside. There is a beautiful period panelled room located at the front. At the rear there is a large extension with more tables overlooking the charming garden. On a warm pleasant day you can sit in the gardens and forget that you were in a busy town centre. It represents very good value with tea at £1.30 a pot and Lattes at £1.70. It is essentially a cafe offering a small range of cakes and snacks. The staff are always very pleasant and cheerful well worth a visit.

The building is lovely inside and out, and on the high street so a great location when out shopping. The cafés menu is simple - sandwiches, soup, jacket potatoes - all for about £5, and some hot meals too. The portions aren't very big and the standard of the food is average.
