The Barn (Hockley Heath) Beefeater in Solihull

Mediocre. Mainly there for the hotel guests (Which we were). Food not great. Don't be fooled by the advertised opening hours, closes at 10pm (Last orders).

Thanks so much to Keeya ; Jade,Tracey and the rest of the team at the barn we had an amazing meal for 17 of us for my uncle's birthday and we were so well looked after . It was last minute booking but everything was perfect- and thanks to Jaimie the GM for fitting us in

Great mixed grill steak cooked perfectly to my request of medium to rare great service from waitress

Mice relaxing place. Food was above average, not out of this world. But you know what you're getting at a Beefeater.

What a big place! We had the party area at the back and we were very well looked after by the staff and I would recommend the place for a large scale birthday

Nice afternoon spent at The Barn with friends. Food good, staff friendly and helpful.

We stayed at the Premier Inn attached for 3 nights so we had breakfast and dinner here on more than one occasion. Breakfast is OK but there are one or two points that need addressing. 1. No fresh orange juice! Who wants squash at breakfast time? 2. The toasters take forever. 3. I can see why they cook to order, but it feels like cheating people out of an unlimited breakfast, because if you do want more, you have to order and wait, which makes breakfast the longest meal! Dinner, again a couple of points that need addressing. 1. The portion sizes. Whilst I don't necessarily want to eat huge amounts, I'd prefer to not pay a large portion fee for a small portion plate! 2. There's not a lot of variety on offer, so we got a takeaway on the 3rd evening. However, Sophie the waitress was superb. She was friendly and efficient with a good sense of humour and she made our visit enjoyable. She gets 5 ☆, Thanks Sophie M! But we certainly won't be visiting again.

Food was lovely. The staff were helpful and friendly. Would recommend

Disappointed with the service. Asked for starters and mains to come together and they didn't. When food did come out after almost an hour burgers were cold and some of the food was wrong

Beefeater at its worst. Bar staff are great but on this occasion cold chips over cooked prawns ,chopped salad was poor maybe tinned sweetcorn salad would be a better description. I tried so hard to eat it but no so I informed the management via bar staff and was made to feel guilty informed " I don't eat prawns " I gave you your money back" ,,,,so that's fine everybody's happy, NOT

The food was really nice but the service from Kiah was particularly fantastic.

Our son and myself ate here on Saturday and the meal was prompt, hot and good value for money. Great desserts! 😍 A special mention to Jade - our waitress - who was so friendly and professional to us both. A real asset to the restaurant. Thanks, Justin and Arlen

Myself and partner stopped off here a few Sundays ago and were so pleased we did. We'd tried somewhere else locally beforehand to no avail so chanced turning up without a resevervation and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Seated within a couple of minutes and our drinks order followed swiftly. The place was clean and everyone working was happy and friendly, which is rare for hospitality these days! Food was hot and also quick, apparently the 'Ultimate Sunday Roast' is a must according to my other half. Jamie who sorted our bill out at the end was fabulous, really helpful and efficient. We'd definately have it as our first port of call when we're next in the area.

Food was great also drinks was good aswell was out of couple of the syrups for mocktails but overall good experience Sophie M was an excellent waitress a credit to the company 👏

Every week, same great service, same great food, staff are brilliant, highly recommend fillet steak. Staff the best from Ethan Kiah Vicki to Natalie Jamie Tracey and the one and only amazing Lorraine thanks the barn out of this world

Great selection of food and drinks. Carvery is very good and recommend it. Very friendly and professional staff to assist you. Ample parking on site but can become busy at peak times. Pre booking a table is advisable.

Nice food portions are on the small side in particular the chips. Pub was cold and didn't really warm up during our time there. The toilet was warmer!

Spacious restaurant, very good service and food was perfect.

Stayed at the Premier Inn attached, the pub/restaurant is nice and clean, busy on Saturday night. Make sure you book. Breakfast the following morning, busy again, expected a buffet but it was all you can eat cooked fresh, however there were not enough staff on to cover all the tables therefore you are left waiting for a long period of time to order. When the breakfast came it was missing the eggs, which took too long to come and we had finished by the time they did. Over all nice place good food and drink but lacking when it comes to great customer experience down to service.

Very quiet on a Saturday afternoon

Food was fantastic and the service was great

Breaded mushrooms I had were over cooked nearly broke teeth and fillings and main course chicken was burnt under neath

Great lunch time stopover for a lite bite, we had the lunch time special of 2 mains for £12.99, great value for very tasty food (chicken and chips and a burger and chips). Fast friendly service highly recommended

Probably the worst breakfast I have ever tried to eat, tomatoes tasted like a ball of grease not sure how you get tomatoes wrong but gross 🤢 the bacon was more like wafer thin ham and the hash browns also just tasted of grease will never be going back

Lovely breakfast, great service, very friendly staff, I will definitely be returning here.

Booked a table for a birthday breakfast. We had to wait to be spotted by a member of staff before being seated. Felt longer than it was. Pointed towards our table which was reserved by myself. Only to find the table had the plates and cutlery left from the previous customer. Had to wait for staff to replenish the mugs for a coffee. Apple juice ran out, croissants ran out. Staff rudely told my partner that they 'don't do decaf' when she asked for a decaf tea or coffee. Shocking manners. Toasters weren't the usual tracked ones but regular toasters resulting in lots of people waiting. We waited an hour for our breakfast to arrive by which point the children we were with grew bored, irritable and hungry so we left. Toilets in the gents had no hand soap, the taps also leaked. For a beefeater restaurant, this branch brings the reputation down drastically. We won't return to this establishment. Will try other beefeaters, others I have visited have been outstanding in the general demeanor of the staff, cleanliness of the place, availability of food and drinks.

I had to stay here due to local business if given a choice I would give this place a wide birth, the staff are friendly just very badly run , as a food and restaurant critic I would seriously recommend try alternative accommodation and restaurant location As for the travel lodge There is a broken heater in the room , no hot water and TV dosnt work . . Keep away

Go for breakfast regularly for catch up with friends and x work colleagues. Excellent food and choice with a friendly atmosphere and great service especially from Natalie. Always obliging and makes us feel very welcome and time to chat

A very friendly welcome from a friendly genuine member of staff. Food was cooked nicely and was hot and fresh. The only slight drawback was that the toaster took ages to produce a piece of toast. Other than that the place was clean and modern and welcoming.

Didn't have food but the atmosphere was relaxing, the staff were friendly and they played Supertramp!!

Excellent service from the manager.

Staff were superb. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was decent but did not offer value for money. When I'm paying £15 per meal for pub food, I would expect better quality (or cheaper). Apparently, I could have got 50% off with some sort of card which was never mentioned by anyone. So my question is.... Is the food deliberately price double on the assumption that everyone gets 50% off?

I always check which restaurant is next door when I book a Premier Inn as the beefeaters are very good. Nice menu and food quality food. Plenty of space in this restaurant

Great value for money breakfast, always plenty to eat and excellent service particularly from Natalie who is always very friendly.

Just was alright. Pouched eggs were the best I've had in a while. Sausage didn't agree with me.

Absolutely disgraceful had the festive menu starter main and pudding starter was fine main came out was all cold yorkshire was still frozen sent it back they brought me another one that was not much better still frozen in middle so did not eat any of it was past ordering pudding was not charged for main but charged full price for starter which was wrong as would not have worked out at that price had i had the meal i was expecting my whole evening ruined that was Saturday 2nd of December

I hate giving poor reviews, especially when we have been to this location before. Dinner served bland and cold.

Excellent staff were all friendly and great especially Ethan who was serving us.

Amazing and tasty food, luxurious seating and more!

They only order one cask of real ale a week. Not impressed, especially when the attached hotel is full of real ale drinkers and they were told in advance that that was the case.

Saturday 18th November party of four. I ordered salmon when I cut into it wasn’t cooked in the middle. Pastry under cooked also. 3 of the party ordered profiteroles which were frozen solid. Sent back salmon had fish and chips which were nice. Waiter said all profiteroles were frozen and to choose something else from menu we picked the apple pie which was ok. Very disappointed it was getting busy.

Lovely service, busy ,and great atmosphere, a little disappointed with smothered chicken meal ,not many fries and the salad on my plate was hot wilted lettuce, my dessert was delicious 😋

Wasn't a good overall experience.

The food was alright standard pub food, staff were really friendly but service was slow. They were in no hurry to get the bill or food out to us.

Very good staff in always very friendly and very helpful great food and great service 💯

Lovely meal from the set menu (circa £18 pp). Bit shocked to be charged an extra £4 for the sirloin steaks in our choice but I suppose that is what small print is about. The waitress was very helpful and attentive. Just wish that people would stop calling customers "Guys" and refrain from saying "Enjoy", obviously this has come from our cousins over the pond. Needs to stop as it is unnecessary and Guys is disrespectful. It would have been nice to have had some Dijon mustard or French mustard, but according to our waitress they can't get it anywhere. Should have asked me as there is plenty in our supermarket. It would be helpful if the prices of the beers were promulgated at the time of ordering.

We were a table of 13, with a lot of different food and drinks, so you expect a bit of hit and miss, but everything was wonderful, no problems at all, and everything came in good time. I'm definitely going back again!

This is an excellent restaurant especially with convenience Premier Inn next door. Natalie and Jade breakfast Lucas cooking is excellent 👌

Just had a great meal here. Service was good and the food was brilliant. All of it was so hot and tasty. Would definitely recommend this as a great place to eat

Allways love it here it's cosy and a real nice place to chill

Saturday afternoon, place was deserted, must only be busy when the Hotel next door is also busy.

Stayed in the Premier Inn next door. I had booked a table online for the restaurant but was a little late. They didn’t have my booking apparently and no tables left in the restaurant but I could sit in the bar, which was fine. I walked past lots of empty tables so I didn’t understand that, they were also turning people away. Lady behind the bar was lovely and helpful, the lady that I presumed was the manager was as miserable as hell and rude. The steak was nice, but I think they forgot to put the other half of the chips portion on my plate. It was ‘ok’, but I wouldn’t go back.

The food and service was very good, our only issue was it was a bit chilly in the room

Had a very good time, had 6 pints a very good burger and chips and even had a nice 3 hour nap in the toilets 10pm till 1.30am Went back the second night and had a lovely lasagna very comfort foodish.

Lovely team of manager and Kiah on Wednesday 4th October, nothing was too much trouble. Hoping to come again soon but not local

Waitress was brilliant the manager Jade absolutely uselss. What is the point of having a manager if she can not be bothered sorting issues out and just blamed her own staff.

I stayed atthe attached premier inn and had evening dinner and breakcaat. Both were excellent value.

Slow service, the chicken skewer had 3 tiny pieces of chicken and a bunch of chips! High cholesterol portion!

Popped in for a quick pint after shopping. Bit of a strange place, needs something but I don't know what that something is

We've eaten here twice now, both times very good food and service, second time staying at the adjacent Premier Inn (no Air-con and suffering a bit in unseasonal (September) heat wave 😰. Thankfully cooler in the Beefeater.

Slow service and terrible food, honestly some of the worst I've ever been served. The 74 B Dawg from the menu was just embarrassing - no salsa, cold chips, cold corn, and the "premium hot-link-style sausage" as described on the menu was two burnt bangers reheated from the breakfast buffet, in a burnt bun. I wouldn't complain if it was cheap and cheerful, but it's not. Staff were friendly though.

Looks a bit run down from the last time we eat there. Food was very good but it was a bit slow coming out the kitchen. I prefer the all you can eat were you just go up and help yourself though.

Was one of the best beefeaters. We had breakfast . The staff were friendly and the buffet table was well stocked. Toaster worked well so no queues for toast. Will visit again.

Lovely place, nice and quiet. Staff were great and food was tasty.

Late afternoon we were the only customers.

Great Sunday Roast ** ,and great service as always 👍

Went for a meal with the family as a birthday treat for my nephew and thought the food wasn't the best. I think mine was called the grilled combo which consisted of a piece of chicken a sausage some a couple of chicken wings and what was supposed to be a half rack of ribs. The wings were terrible,the sausage tasted awful and the ribs were atrocious! I've never seen ribs so dried up in all my life and can honestly say the ones you cook at home yourself are better.The ones on my plate looked like they may well have been stood for hours. After looking at the menu after we had eaten we then realised that half of the meals were actually given the wrong type of chips to what was written on the menu which at this point was a little to late to ask to be swapped as we had already eaten. The place it's self looks like it could do with a good clean too! On a positive note the waiter that served us (a gentleman with a topknot) was excellent and provided great customer service. We won't be returning in a hurry that's for sure!

Used an offer voucher and was highly delighted with the friendly service and the quality of the food. Will definitely be calling here again.

Enjoy the meal with friends of fellow colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere, clean and tidy staff, friendly and helpful

Staff were very helpful, BUT MY MIXED GRILL WAS DISAPPOINTING, I ASKED FOR MEDIUM RARE STAKE BUT IT SO WELL DONE TO CREMATED ,Not happy, it completely ruined my 75th Birthday meal, I'm sorry for my bad report, we as a large family have been here for over 35years on an off ,I'm so so very disappointed with my meal this time, I didn't want to make a fuss about the meal because my family and grandchildren treated me, and they're meals seam to be fair, once again I'm afraid that we as a family member will NEVER come back ever again.

Lovely place to have a meal. Food is reasonable, plentiful and tasty. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

Came here on a Friday evening. There were 5 of us and we had a 33% off voucher. It wasn't that busy and we were shown to our table. We had starters, mains (4 ribeyes and a surf & turf), desserts and drinks. The ribeyes were all really thin, low quality and overcooked. I ordered a Sauvignon blanc (having seen them at £5.90) but didn't realise until the end that they'd charged me for the most expensive at £8.80 (was not given any options, just charged the highest price). All in all, expected better from a Beefeater and will definitely not be retuning.

Not many staff on, but really lovely

Nice food. Maybe the vegetarian roast needs a suggested sauce.

The barn looks very tired from the outside but the inside was great very clean Food delicious service second to none petite middle age lady short hair sorry forgot your name party of 5

Great Sunday roast. Service was good. Easy parking as on the main road.

Food took forever to reach the table. When my make it your own chicken burger arrived the chicken was cremated and very dry so struggled to eat it. Chips were absolutely fine though

Lovely peaceful atmosphere and loads of choice, well cooked and good presentation, good value & enjoyable

Service and food was excellent.

A great place to visit staff very friendly and great service

Good food (roast lamb dinner on Sunday) very acceptable. Indulgent chocolate brownie mini dessert with a very good flat white. Charming, friendly service from very competent staff. Alone & away from home but made to feel welcome & comfortable. Its good value food with good service - not fancy but not rubbish by a long way. Seemed quiet for a Sunday afternoon but that suited me.

I made a booking for a large group there was about 30 people and the service was brilliant. When they phoned the beginning of the week to confirm the booking they said it may take a while for the food to come out due to it being a large group but we did not have to wait long for the food. Will definitely be coming back again

Visited on Thursday and was served by the lovely Holly, always attentive and going that extra mile to delight her guests! Certainly makes a meal when the service is this good, please pass on some tips to the George in the Tree, for the same brand they are miles away!

The food was good. The service slow. The two mature ladies who served us were very nice. Overall it was OK until a lady next room started to do her DIY. I found that unprofessional.

Good food and service,,bonus was walking from Premier Inn to restaurant without going outside in the rainstorm 👌

Lovely food and waitress could not of been more helpful

Very clean and really nice food. Best Beefeater I have been to

Just had a lovely meal with excellent service

Really nice place for a family dinner stop + charge the car whilst here

Ideal family setting, plenty of room for diners, and partys, had a table for 8 for a 16th birthday, food was fab, service was fab, prices very reasonable, going again

Fabulous offer on Mothers Day at £22 for a 3 course meal. The Sunday Dinner was amazing

Lovely food and excellent service from Louise, definitely going again.

Very nice food, mixed grill perfectly cooked, good range of food and drinks including cocktails. Excellent happy staff. Saturday afternoon, so nice and quiet for family time

Fabulous pub/restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, food and service. What a gem of a place! They even have proper meals and treats for dogs! Wish we lived closer as I'd go all the time!

Came here for a birthday dinner with my wife. Atmosphere was great. Our waitress Lauren was bubbly and catered to our every need, even had a bit of banter with the wife which was great. Not very often you get servers like that any more. Food was beautiful so thank you to the chefs in the kitchen on the night of our visit. Price was great for the value we got. Will definitely be making this our regular beefeater. Worth the travel. Highly recommended. For management, the only thing I would note is toilets could do with a little TLC, but having worked in the industry, I know that this is always difficulty to manage, so I will still keep my five star review.

What can I say a Great place for food and relaxing having a drink in the bar , i use the Barn regularly and just keep coming back thanks to Louise and her staff 👍 😊

Excellent food, and stay at the adjoining Premier Inn

Visited for a family birthday get together with seven adults and two children. Food was very good quality and reasonably priced. Service from a number of the staff was superb, including Lauren who served us, and the manager and the young lady working behind the bar. Well done and thank you.

Really good breakfast deal. Kids eat free so good value too. Could work on atmosphere, no music or anything on.

We went for breakfast as a group of friends. Everything was the usual quality you'd expect from the premier Inn brand. The venue was nice and clean and the cooked food was out very quickly from the kitchen.. staff were happy to help and accommodating. I didn't take any photos on this occasion but the decor is very pleasant and and it's a comfortable place to eat.
