Platform Three in Solihull

Really good food and drink from seasonal menu options. Excellent service in comfortable dining area.

Delicious food, friendly service

Odd one, this. The food, service and atmosphere are excellent. On our last visit my daughter and I had burgers which were absolutely fine, except for the buns. These were toasted, as they should be, but the outsides were out-of-the fridge cold, and a bit crumbly. Not brioche-like at all. We asked our very attentive server about this but we didn't find out how this happened. I'm sure we'll go again, but I'll not choose a burger.

Lovely family-run business. Wonderful meal again - great food, staff are very knowledgeable about the wines, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

What can I say.....fabulous food, fabulous service and a fabulous atmosphere. Your waitresses are an absolute credit to you and put other restaurants to shame. Have drank here before but never eaten, so, huge compliments to the chef & kitchen staff too. Will definitely be back for food soon.

Enjoyed the full experience from warm welcome drinks and food excellent

Great service from Ellie and great food 10/10🩷🩷

A real gem to the area of Olton. 3 courses for under £30 on a Sunday and the food is outstanding. Staff are all lovely and friendly. Outside bar tables are dog friendly but inside is not due to space.

Decent little bar off the main road into Solihull TC ..food was quite decent & service quick from the bar

If you want to eat Excellent food, in a relaxed atmosphere , platform 3 is the place to go, enjoyed our afternoon so much, friendly staff, I will be going back very soon.

Only pop in here on odd occasions, always busy with good atmosphere

I held the wake after my mother's funeral here and it was fantastic. I know it's a sad occasion but this is an ideal venue. Staff are professional and friendly. Quality food laid on. All guests were impressed. Highly recommended for hire. Yet to try the restaurant menu in the near future. Thank you all at Platform Three.

We held mum’s Celebration of Life at Platform 3. Monique and Collette were amazing with fantastic attention to detail. It was a very special afternoon. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend this beautiful venue. Thank you for being so welcoming, supportive and accommodating.

We had dinner here and it is the most wonderful restaurant. Such a warm welcome and atmosphere. The food is out of this world and the best ever tiramisu. We loved it here and highly recommend from Carl The Builder Desborough

Only came for drinks. Can get too busy at times and has limited seating. Beer always nice and cold. Last orders can be early. Staff are very nice.

Had the two course Sunday lunch which was excellent. The Roast Beef was perfectly cooked and very tender . Best Sunday lunch in the solihull area in my opinion . Lovely , friendly service as always . See you again soon .

I just took my 93 year old Mum here for Sunday lunch. She probably doesn't have many years left, so me and my Sister are trying to take her out for posh treats whenever we can. The food was delicious - above average traditional English roast. Not quite haute cuisine, but above average. I had the braised belly pork which was fine, my Mum had the roast beef, which was not fine. Sadly, the beef was exceptionally tough, quite gristly, and not very well carved either: closer to thick slabs than finely carved roast slices. My Mum is of that war generation that "don't like to make a fuss" so she laboured away hacking and sawing at her beef. Eventually on the edge of tears she was persuaded to hand over her plate to me to cut up her meat (poignant mother-son role reversal), and even *I* struggled! She ate as much as she could (remember: war generation, rationed meat, never let anything go to waste) but gave up, declaring: "well, I've had enough, I don't *need* any more and I can't face any more chewing". I'm not one to complain - remember, my pork was fine - but I drew the waitress's attention to the problem and she said she'd talk to the chef. She returned insisting that she couldn't offer us a discount (NOTE: I didn't *ask* for a discount) but she could offer us a free dessert. We politely declined, mainly because that wasn't the point. The point was that the food wasn't good and the chef needs to know that. We left, not feeling at all that our message had been heard: there was a problem with the beef, and it doesn't matter how many discounts or free desserts you give people, if the meat is impossibly tough people aren't going to come back. My Mother's final word on our lunch outing: "Disastrous". I tipped the waitress who had been very attentive, but we won't be going back because it was expensive (£72 for 2 x 2 course meals) and the chef can't cook.

Nice little pub with superb staff & drinks, is a little pricey but nice to spend money at a independent than a big high street chain

Great chilled out place for a drink,not eaten there but I hear the food is great

We celebrated my husbands birthday with a large party of friends.. from start to finish it was superb, the waitresses all friendly n attentive, the delicious food was served quickly even though a large party.. certainly be our local bar/diner from now on ..

This is really near the train station so I popped in for a beer as the weather was good and it was a Friday afternoon. The staff initially were really nice and professional and the place itself is beautiful (Kudos to the owner/designer) Anyway, I thought I'd pay a compliment to the (other) member of bar staff, the beer is really nice and I said; "It's a nice pint here" to which she said; "Oh yeah, I brewed it myself!" I just kind of laughed but realised she wasn't joking . I was only giving a huge thumbs up, I was thinking of holding a small family celebration there if that is an option? (I hadn't approached them about this yet) Overall, a really nice place, beautiful decor and ambience, spoiled by a strange comment. I won't be back.

This place was recommended to me by a friend and colleague. It’s the last time I listen to his recommendation.😄. In fairness, his experience was sometime ago and maybe the kitchen staff have changed. On entering the restaurant, it appeared to be quite stylish, but went downhill from there. The wine list was very poor, it states the colour, the grape type and the price. In other words, you know what you’re paying, but you don’t know what you’re getting. So I had a beer. The menu, mainly comprised of burgers, pizza and pasta. My chicken pasta dish was very poor.

We rang the restaurant on our way there, and they were happy to oblige, although we couldn't be too sure of our arrival time. We booked for 8 and were about 10 minutes late, which was no problem. Our waitress Kerrie was a delight, very bubbly and very helpful and the food was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome, and although we are not local, we shall definitely be going back when next in the area.

Thanks to all the staff who made a sad occasion a celebration. Gathering for a wake, the whole afternoon was seamless, with the complete attention of the staff without being noticed or in any way imposing on the grief that was being felt. Impeccable service and a selection of food, second to none, ti's establishment is a must for happier gatherings. If you need relaxation and an unrushed time with service to be bottled, this venue a must.

Nice place, just didn't particularly enjoy the food. Others on our table did.

There is a lovely vibe here and as we’re within walking distance we really value the close proximity. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. We’ve eaten here a few times and the food is exactly what you would expect in terms of quality and presentation at this price point. Just some minor feedback - which we hope you find helpful, the burger one of our party ordered (which he said was delicious btw) was really too large for the small board it was served on - and the 4 tempura prawns - in two of the starters would have felt better value for money if there were 1 or 2 more. The ham hock starter also contained chorizo which wasn’t mentioned on the menu and as my daughter is pregnant she had to send it back as she’s unable to eat cured meat. The waitress couldn’t have been more helpful and the kitchen provided a speedy replacement, none of this detracted from our visit and we will certainly be booking again.

Been to Platform Three for a wake and the food was amazing, staff were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend a visit.

It had been a very long time since we had had a Sunday lunch in a restaurant. The whole experience was superb, the staff were excellent and the food cooked perfectly. The Mackerel pate to start, the beef for main with a side of cauliflower cheese were all excellent, nothing could be faulted. Whilst I personally didn’t have dessert others in our group had the Tiramisu and the Brownie, all said they were delicious. We don’t normally have Sunday lunches but we wouldn’t hesitate to return here.

One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in a restaurant for years . The beef was cooked perfectly and portions are very generous . I come here quite often for drinks and food and I can honestly say that all the staff have always been fantastic . Nothing is too much trouble them .

Came in with my son and all they did was give him horrible looks. Blatantly didn’t like children, the whole experience was just rude

Great atmosphere, food and service.

Love this place, small so I’d suggest booking a table. But good foot and decent range of drinks

Delicious food, brilliant service and lovely atmosphere. Olton is really missing more places like this. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Wonderful small business. Friendly atmosphere, always service with a smile & a great menu.

A bar as much as a restaurant. Very busy. Beers OK.

Sunday Lunch. Seriously the best Sunday lunch we have had. Service impeccable and the food was to die for. The Pork belly was just delicious.

Despite living a few miles away, I had not heard of this place until I read on Social Media that they had sadly been broken into. I felt very sad for their pain so when my husband asked me last night where do I want to eat, this place popped into my mind so we had no preconceived ideas on how good it would be - and we were totally blown away! The staff we really friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was totally amazing and even my teenager who is a bit fussy, loved all the food - in fact you 'forced' us all to have a dessert! The deconstructed Mango & Passionfruit Cheesecake was amazing and after the pork belly and starter, I was struggling to find space (but managed)!! Would highly recommend Platform Three for the food, service and ambiance ad will definitely be back.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere,,great staff. Really decent bar

Friendly nice polite staff , the beer is good ☺️👍🏻

Have been here a number of times now and absolutely love it. We have always found it to have a lovely atmosphere and it is so good to have a nice bar within walking distance as there isn't anything else like this place in the local area. The staff are always super friendly and if you get to do one of their unlimited wings nights, the chicken wings are delicious!

Nice place to have a drink - Lovely people who own the place, very friendly. Yet to try the food but been told its fantastic and it is always busy which is a good sign.

Had a lovely meal on NYE. It was a set menu, preordered. Everything was lovely, my steak was cooked to perfection. The staff were very polite and efficient, a most enjoyable evening. Thank you

Fantastic food at a very good price. The staff were amazing and the surroundings are modern and cosy. We will definitely go back.

A wonderful venue. Staff wonderful, drinks served to perfection. Happy Christmas platform Three ❤❤❤❤

Fabulous place. Food was amazing.

This is not the place for you. It's too nice sorry it's so nice I don't want it to be overrun. Really it's staff that make this little place what it is amazing. All I could ask for is a few more guest ale but that's me. I promise you will love it.

Beautiful local bistro...get going people

This restaurant / Bistro is a well run lovely family business. A warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The bar was busy and vibrant and the restaurant area was quiet and cozy enough to have conversations and nice food. Our waitress (Evee) for the evening was very attentive and providing a very professional and courtious service and talked us through the daily special and seemed to be enjoying her first day at work.

Love this local wine bar and restaurant. They do lovely cocktails and bar staff were lovely. The atmosphere is lovely and cosy. Definitely recommend coming here.

They banned me they are not welcoming and very rude and bad people. They are also very good picking on people. They are very bad

Definitely would recommend following my first visit to this lovely local family run business serving lovely good quality tasty food I will definitely be returning Many Thanks

Very loud and service was not as attentive as we would have liked due to it being a busy Thursday. More of a young and trendy place than somewhere for a quiet evening.

Lovely evening with friends! Everyone really enjoyed their meals and the staff were really attentive. Will definitely be back!

Food was basic and service was slow. Every time one of us needed a drink there was nobody around, constantly having to ask and call people over whilst waiting for ages in between. We felt as though we were nuisances. It was as though they...

Before arrival, we asked if children were welcome and we were told they were allowed. When we got there, they told us there were no high chairs, which was a bit of a shock but decided we can deal with that as we had a...

We visited on Friday evening - lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

We had the most amazing Sunday lunch..excellent service and atmosphere..definitely goe back again.x

Lovely Little Tendy Bar, Very nice drinks and nice resturaunt and food. Drinks can be expensive.

As a visitor from Canada I was looking for a good solo meal. They had wonderful vegan options here which were delicious. I felt at home with the ambiance, the great food and the wonderful service. Lucy(my server) was amazing. She greeted me with a smile, made great food recommendations and made me feel so welcomed.

Just been for a night out and had a lovely time. Kerrie our waitress was really attentive and helpful. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend

This restaurant really sets the bar for others to follow. Had a lovely family meal this evening and the service was fantastic from Kerry and Panos. For example, with no fuss at all, they went out of their way to make an alternative adjustment to one of the menu items (given one of us had a nut allergy). I had a pizza and was blown away with the quality (and that's having recently returned from a holiday in Italy too!) . Quality food. Lovely ambiance, decent prices, nice drinks selection (the wine bar side of the restaurant is lovely in it's own right) and really friendly, genuine staff who clearly care about their customers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Exceptionally good service from Kerry and Panos, who were very friendly and gave great advice about the food. The menu does change every so often, but if they still have it in the future, the salmon pesto linguine is excellent (if you have no nut allergy) - but even if you do, as did one of the people I was with, the chefs were quick-thinking and creative and came up with a chilli and garlic sauce which also tasted fab. We recently went to Italy, and the pizzas at Platform Three are actually just as good as even the best pizzas there, which really says everything. If only we weren't already stuffed by that point then we would have loved to try their desserts. The prices were very reasonable - a main course with a drink was about £20 per person, which is a good deal considering the very high quality of the food. Kerry and Panos were very attentive, coming round not once, not twice, but three times to make sure we were enjoying everything. I couldn't recommend this place more highly!

Don’t bother, opening times are ridiculous. Not open Saturday afternoons and can’t book a table online. Missing out on so much business by not opening at prime times. Would love a more committed local bar within walking distance as this has everything apart from ease of access!

Lovely food and atmosphere as always can't recommend enough

We came here after our meal out in Solihull, as we wanted to go for a drink locally. Lovely drinks but don't think my husband liked the beer, too warm, tried another still didn't like it. Overall lovely staff and atmosphere, very romantic. We were...

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Really enjoy this lovely little watering hole.

Great Food, and Incredible Staff.

We visited on a Saturday night and had a really enjoyable evening! The staff were welcoming and friendly and it has a lovely overall feel. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Recommend the minute steak salad. We would love to visit again and...

A very charming little bar that's both cosy and inviting, with a variety of seating both inside and out. A must stop for a drink if you're in the area

I have to say over the years the cooking and food at P3 have got better and better. The chef is displaying a great level of competency and attention to detail. This is good British food at a fair price in superb surroundings. The staff...

Great place for just drinks or drinks and food. The food is excellent 👍

Really lovely food in a buzzy atmosphere with excellent staff. The whole evening was a pleasure. We had 2 starters between 4 of us - the camembert and chilli chicken wings which was ample. We all decided to have the fish and chips as a...

very busy but didn't stop us enjoying had a morlot red wine, worth a visit.

My wife and myself visited for the first time for our 21st Wedding anniversary I just wanted to say that we loved the meal and experience from start to finish. Also the waitress who served us was such a lovely person, extremely proficient, friendly and...

I visited Platform 3 on Sunday with friends, this is the 2nd time I have been here. I really like it, its clean, staff are fabulous. Food delicious I will be recommending Platform 3.

Great bar and restaurant 👌. Food is lovely, staff are really friendly and welcoming always end up have a chat with the owners whenever we visit. Always worth a trip I here if you are about.

My wife and I made our second visit here on Sunday for lunch. The quality and quantity of the food were excellent. I had the roast beef which was cooked to perfection, my wife had the roast chicken which also looked very good. The decor...

Pleasant but not somewhere to die for.

The most amazing Sunday dinner along with excellent service from Ellie and the staff, I’ve been here quite a few times and Ellie always has a smile and is so helpful and friendly. I had a lovely lunch and fab wine we can’t wait to come back.

What a great night at platform 3 Wonderfull food great atmosphere Fantastic staff so friendly Can't wait for our next visit Highly recommended

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Nice relaxed atmosphere. We took our baby too. We will definitely be returning.

A lovely relaxed atmosphere, we came to Platform Three for a girly catch up. There was 6 of us and we all agreed that the service and food were both amazing! I particularly loved how we were not rushed in between courses and had a good amount of time after each course before the next course was served. I’d highly recommend this lovely little gem and already looking forward to visiting again!

We had a meal here on Thursday 27th January, lovely bistro style restaurant, and the food and service impeccable. So why am I only giving it 4/5? Two little things, I expected more of a bistro style menu, local seasonal food, (the seasonal veg came...

Really enjoyed our Sunday lunch recently. Wings were tasty as was the beef. Service excellent and wine delicious! Wish they would do cheese as a dessert, we declined this course but if you have a sweet tooth, what was being served to other diners did look scrumptious! So relaxing and a super ambiance. Not many places in Olton like this so definitely a destination dining choice!

This place never ceases to amaze, outstanding food. Have eaten dinner and Sunday lunch all fantastic. Great customer service, would highly recommend. One of the best in Solihull.

Recently spent a post Christmas get together with dear friends here. Ambiance absolutely lovely Meals excellent. Service top class. Very highly recommended

Lovely food, good service, will be visiting again. 🌟

Love this place! It’s family owned and it shows as they care about their customers. The bar is perfect for a few drinks before lunch or dinner or just a lazy afternoon drink or three. You won’t find food to match anywhere near and the service is great. What’s not to like………!

We Live locally and have been here a few times with friends and just as a couple. Food never disappoints, decors nice and there is always a good atmosphere. The menu has changed between visits which can be a good thing and a bad thing....

This place never ceases to amaze, outstanding food. Have eaten lunch, dinner and Sunday lunch all fantastic. Great customer service, would highly recommend. One of the best in Solihull

Great venue, friendly staff, really well thought out design and a fantastic vibe. Great place to spend an evening.

Lovely food and lovely staff, my 1st visit there last night..and I will definitely be returning and recommending..

Good food, good chilled atmosphere

Great place very busy quite noisy but not to bad,food excellent varied menu excellent service, will certainly go again.

Stumbled across this great little bistro after our original booking venue cancelled at short notice. Great Sunday roast, attentive staff and lively Sunday lunch vibe with mix of diners and social drinkers. Will definitely be back

Call me old fashioned.. but well too pricey

Went to have a drink Saturday lunchtime didn't open till 17.00???

Lovely meal will be back again soon

Great place to meet and eat, been many times and back again soon 👍
