Portway House Cafe in Bromsgrove

The worse cafe i have ever visited. I don't even know where to start, I asked for a sausage sandwich and the waitress said she would have to order me toast and a side of sausage and I'd have to make it myself. For some strange reason she couldn't ask the chef to make me one, it arrived and the toast was cut in to triangles, the sausage was not pork, just some deep fried mush which was inedible. They state a full ENGLISH breakfast but don't serve bacon or pork sausage? I'm not sure where in England serves a full ENGLISH without pork products but also fail to state anywhere that its turkey bacon and non pork sausages, they list goes on, 8 of us met for a family breakfast and only 1 of the 8 orders arrived correctly. 25 minute wait for a flat white, just absolutely horrendous. Avoid.

An absolute shambles for breakfast. They advertise a full English but if you want a sausage sandwich which my 3 yr old daughter did, we were told the chef will serve 2 sausages on a plate and two pieces of bread on another which we then had to make ourselves. The sausages were very poor quality and were clearly put in a deep fat fryer and turned to mush, disgusting. It's clearly a no pork / halal venue which is fine but the bacon isn't labelled as bit being pork , so the eggs benedict was a let down. Coffee were made 20 mins after then were ordered and the food took 45 minutes, which is a long time as we were the only people there. Awful experience.

We came for an early valentines meal. Was greeted by kyla who was pleasent and helpful. Food was great and the portions were massive!!

El café no estaba demasiado ocupado y hemos estado antes de ahí por qué volvimos. Sin embargo sándwich tostado que no era lo que yo llamaría el típico tostado era más como 2 rebanadas de tostadas con queso y champiñones juntos, la ensalada no era atractivo como van las ensaladas, la mejor parte era el hummus y las patatas fritas. No tenían leche flaca para el café descafeinado y mi primera opción de sándwich fue un pannini con tikka de pollo, pero no quedaba tikka, así que tenía que arreglárselas con lo que teníamos. Estábamos muy decepcionados por decir lo menos y en cuanto a la música de fondo era muy lenta y lúgubre. Venga, consíguelo si tu negocio puede sobrevivir con los sábados libres, entonces tal vez eso es lo que hay que hacer

Fui a este lugar encantador para una comida de cumpleaños como fue recomendado por un amigo. El lugar está muy bien escondido, y nos recibieron cálidamente por el personal. La decoración era agradable, con un ambiente rústico acogedor, perfectamente iluminado para una cena. Cuando llegamos, el lugar era tranquilo, pero pronto se llenó durante nuestra estancia. La comida era absolutamente deliciosa, no podía faltar el plato de carne compartida que pedimos. Las salsas que complementan la comida también fueron deliciosas. Nos atendieron, para todas nuestras necesidades - incluso logrando rezar en una pequeña sección lateral que el propietario amablemente apartó. He recomendado a muchos amigos que vengan y volveré de nuevo para probar otras opciones en el menú.

Excellent food served with thought and care, even the garnish was delicious ! Coffee best I have tasted in a while. We will certainly go again.

If you haven’t tried the new cafe next door to The Rose and Crown on the bypass then give it a try. Great food and nice place. The music and decor is chilled. 5 stars from me. We will be back ! Support local businesses if you can. They need it more than the big boys.

Bit disappointed - opens at 10.00am on Saturday - we arrived 10.30am, coffee machine had only just been turned on ans was advised it will be a "long" wait Place was freezing cold, the have a fire place for display only i think. Food Had to ask for a Bacon and Egg sandwich as its not on the menu {but its a cafe}, that came quite quick BUT on stale bread /served with rocket / crisps and hummus ? No selection of pastries Coffee came after an 3/4 hour I had eaten and that was very nice, strong and well made Would I return maybe - in approx 6months when they are more organised but only for a coffee

Great to see Portway House open and working again after watching the premises dilapidate over recent years. Met a colleague for a breakfast meeting there and enjoyed a really decent full English breakfast. Only yards from Junction 3 of the M42 too.

Being a regular at Portway House Cafe has its perks, especially when the Full English breakfast is involved. Each visit solidifies my love for their hearty, home-cooked meals. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the staff friendly, and the coffee just how I like it. It’s the consistency that keeps me coming back; the quality never wavers. A five-star experience that has become a staple of my routine.

The inside is nicely set out and the staff were pleasant, however the food was mixed. Some of the food was fine but other food wasn't eg the scrambled egg resembled boiled egg "cut-up" and was cold.

Top class Cafe, quick and friendly service, food was top notch. Will visit again and highly recommend.

So far after two visits the full English breakfasts have been excellent. Hot, well cooked and plenty of it. Nice coffee and very welcoming pleasant staff. This is fast becoming a regular breakfast haunt for us. Highly recommended.

Discovering the new Portway House Cafe in the shell of the old Italian restaurant felt like a warm reacquaintance with a cherished past. In my conversations with the staff, I learned of the cafe’s recent inception and the respectful nod to heritage through the incorporation of the restaurant’s reclaimed woodwork. As a child, I was a regular here with my family, and it delights me to see the spirit of the old space lovingly maintained. During my visit, a full English breakfast and a classic fish and chips were thoroughly enjoyed, culminating in a delectable Victoria sponge accompanied by a pot of English tea — all offered at surprisingly reasonable prices. The setting is an ideal refuge for both reflection and literary escape. The owners have brought this venue to life with integrity and care. With the anticipation of a fireplace to add to the ambiance, I am eager to return. Portway House Cafe is truly a gem reborn, connecting the community to its roots in the most welcoming of ways.
