Well where do i start, we visited here as a family of 5 for Sunday lunch 30th June, i do not like exessive amounts of fat on my meat so enquired about the pork dinner, credit to the waitress who asked the chef who said it would be quite fatty and he wouldnt be prepared to cut any excess off which was fair, i asked about the beef dinner and was told this would be much better as regards fat content (at £22 you would like to think so), it came and to my dissapointment it was at least a third fat content, this was cut off by myself and shown to the waitress who said she would speak to "chef about it", at the end of our meal she returned for the bill with no comment from the chef or any form of apology from the staff after i told her it was probably the worst beef id ever had before, quite shocking customer care and service!. On a seperate note, my sister had the fish and chips and quite frankly the chips were burnt and the peas like bullets. We are a mature group who never complain, but at £150 for what we had was totally unacceptable, we shall not return here, youve been warned................

Place needs a huge refurb! Staff eating in front of customers like they ain’t been fed. The Managenent seems to of lost control of the kitchen by the looks of it. Food 6.7/10 for Solihull. A lot Better options !

We used to love the beech house but it has gone terribly downhill! You would think that a pizza would be okay but it was practically inedible. The waiter was rude and scoffed after asking for mayonnaise (to make the pizza more edible). Never returning. Waste of money.

Food was lovely... a pizza made to perfection. This pub specialises in adding that little extra touch so you never forget or ever want to go back... a £100 parking fine on their own property... certainly surpasses my expectations. I suppose it's one way to keep a pub exclusive. Having read previous reviews, looks like this carpark scam was a recent introduction (about a year). I guess when times are hard, ripping off your own customers is not beyond anyone.

The beech house used to be great and we went often. We haven’t been as much recently as other visits have been poor but thought let’s give it another go. We were a table of 7 and were stuck up the top of the restaurant at a table where you can’t get out unless everyone gets up. We ordered starters and mains, one starter had to go back as was cold. After what seemed like a long wait the mains arrived. The sea bass special was overcooked and hard, the lamb main had to be sent back as it was cold. The chips on the other meals were cold but as we had waited a while and were hungry we just ate them. A bill for £50 pp and no one said that was lovely, won’t be rushing back.

Drove over to Solihull for some shopping at dog friendly John Lewis and looked on Google for a nearby dog friendly pub for Sunday lunch. The Beech House was a good choice. Lovely friendly, helpful staff. Sat in the nice bar area for Sunday lunch with our terrier. Great food in a relaxed atmosphere added to a good day out.

We booked for Sunday lunch and couldn't be happier we did. The food was delicious, I had the beef and, unlike everywhere I've been before where they say it comes pink and never does, this one did and it was perfect. The roast potatoes were easily in my top 5, if not top 2 (can't be top as that's reserved for my mothers). My other half had the chicken and it was succulent all the way through and beautifully seasoned. In short (!), we couldn't find a single fault with the food. But the food can always be let down by the atmosphere and the staff but that wasn't the case here. The staff were friendly and attentive and didn't rush us at all, they were all wonderful.

We are regular visitors to the Beech House. Matteo and the team are extremely hospitable and have created a laid back environment throughout the week for families and friends, including furry ones who are also looked after with water and treats. They know how to party too though so it's always worth looking out for their events. With function rooms as well as the bar and the restaurant, the Beech House is a great, centrally located and easily found venue for get togethers in a relaxed, clean and comfortable atmosphere. Food is available in the restaurant section or in the bar - it's up to you - but I'd recommend booking for a table. Dogs are welcome in the bar area but the restaurant tables are reserved as a dog free zone.

Always love this place. Not cheap but worth the bit extra for excellent food. Last 2 times we have eaten there we have had the mussels and both times they were wonderful! Never been disappointed when we have eaten here. Once we had the Sunday lunch and was delicious. Hubby loves the cask beer. I usually have a gin and tonic or a coffee. Would definitely recommend this place.

Trip down memory lane. Not been back to Solihull in 20yrs. I remember this place as just a pub in my youth. Booked for lunch here as recommended by friends of my daughter. Nice enough decor, staff friendly. Food poor! Calamari was nice enough until combined with horrible harissa mayonnaise. Burger was cold and poorly seasoned. The French fries were nice though. Strangest apple pie I’ve seen and not good.

Disappointed that potatoes were plain, not roasted, no pigs in blankets or stuffing, small amount of cranberry sauce on request. Despite this overall it was tasty, with plenty of succulent meat, nice gravy and al dente vegetables as I like them. Starters and pudding were fine. So not perfect, but I still enjoyed the meal.

Popped in on a Saturday afternoon after seeing Santa in Touchwood, a combination of adults and children. Service was very good as it was very busy generally and the atmosphere was buzzing. We had mainly pizzas and a variety of nibbles but the children’s meals were very generous and we were kindly given a doggie box to bring some of the flat breads home.

We booked in advance for Christmas Dinner. Starters acceptable. Mains awful. No pigs in blankets for those having the Turkey. Cranberry Sauce arrived after half of meal eaten as did the Sprouts and Broccoli. I ordered the Halibut, it was overcooked and the potatoes cold, no vegetables arrived until after I’d finished what was edible. They offered to warm up potatoes and bring pigs in blankets for us to eat at home, we declined. It should be right first time when paying so much. Puddings mostly awful mass produced stodge. I ordered the Sticky Toffee pudding as did my Nephew. It was cold and not cooked. We were offered a round of drinks and £20 of the bill. There were 5 of us dining as £95 each! No one wants to complain and make a scene on Christmas Day. We should have been offered more money back as a courtesy for such an horrendous Christmas dining experience. Or even vouchers.

We went for Sunday lunch and arrived at 4pm and eventually taken to our seat (we asked to move and were ignored) we ordered 2 Roast Turkey and side of Cauliflower cheese, I tried the cauliflower cheese and it had a very sour taste to then realise the cauliflower was rotten I told a person I presumed was a manager who said “do you want another?” With no acknowledgment or apology. We have been here before and it was fantastic however both service and food really let them down this time.

We drove a fair distance as the menu looked great! Food was a little slow arriving but that’s ok, as they had only just started serving lunch. My veggie roast was ok (not great) and my hubbie enjoyed his steak although a small portion. The team were friendly and helpful when you got their attention. The cost of my 11 year old sons meal was the biggest shocker. He wanted the veggie burger £15.50 on the menu. He wanted it without any side salad, pickles, relish, cheese and so on. Instead we asked if all of the toppings could be swopped for a slice of halloumi which they were happy to do. When the bill came they had charged £15.50 for the burger (as expected) but an extra £5 for the slice of halloumi! I questioned the bill thinking it was a mistake but was told it wasn’t an error and halloumi is in world wide shortage and expensive. I’m not the kind to argue with a waiter and just paid the bill expressing it was incredibly expensive. Overall I think £20.50 for one veggie burger and one slice of halloumi is probably the most expensive meal I’ve ever paid for! Really could not justify going back at these prices.

Sunday 17 April 2022. Out of six of us, three had Sunday roast beef. I am 80% sure that the meet and the veg had beed cooked days ago and heated up just before serving. The meat was so tough that I just left it all. Both the meat and the veg were soggy and un-edible. I can not comment on other food at this restaurant. But the Sunday roast beef was the most dreadful roast I have ever had. Also, everything thing is so over-priced too. Definitely a mistake going there for Sunday roast beef. I like to hear the restaurant managers honest and truthful response to this.

We came for a shopping day out and stayed into the evening after seeing family off. This is such a lovely place and food was amazing with good amount of drink. Drink came after the food as requested. Very accommodating and friendly place and is not just a restaurant it is more than that with all the extra touches. Want to do the brunch next. Have heard about it for a while as some good events on and so decided to visit while local. Glad we did. Simple food nothing too fancy but taste was great and can tell quality ingredients used. Funny enough we have a work mate who is going to get married in their private area this summer so will be back then if don't get a chance to before. Only downfall really is very small car park but we were lucky and got a space but think it was because we were there early.

We visited today for a Sunday roast and it was underwhelming. I have been before for a brunch and was surprised at how poor the food was today. One of the roasts was sent back as it was stone cold, the beef was burnt & generally inedible and gravy was watery without much flavour. When the dish was made again, there were similar issues. At £20 a roast, although not unreasonable in price, you would expect better. Disappointed and wouldn’t go again.

Stunning restaurant, a really nice establishment inside and out! Lovely outdoor and indoor seating available!Great range of food and drink options including kids menu, would be a lovely place to start a night out or date, even afternoon lunch with the family. Food is more expensive than your average pub HOWEVER you get exactly what you pay for! It is fresh, top quality food and my partner and I savoured every bite!Portion sizes are generous, and the staff are absolutely phenomenal, a really nice experience and would be more than happy to go back again!Is a 30 second walk out of the town centre should you be looking for a local night out. If you wish to eat booking in advance is HIGHLY recommended.Whilst we chose to get a taxi, a note to anyone choosing to drive, on-site parking is near impossible as the car park is tiny, so be prepared to park across the street and pay for parking. 10/10 experience!

This was a special “out of lockdown moms and 14yr old daughters meal”. Our inside dining table was 7.45pm-9.45pm. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived. By 8.30 we still hadn't had a drink and our food order had not been taken. I went to the service desk to enquire/plead. We eventually got a drink half an hour later and our food order was taken. Our food arrived at approx 9.45pm. The staff were very lovely but not enough of them. Our food was nice but thats all i can say about it really. It was absolutely appalling that we had to wait so long and the Moms of our group were so disappointed that our long awaited night out was going so badly. When our bill arrived i asked the waitress to see if our bill could be amended by way of apology for our long wait. 10% was deducted. 10%. Off a £200 bill. This was accepted due to not wanting our girls to see any disappointment or upset. The restaurant could have done better than this but we simply wont EVER go again. Management need to ensure their staff levels match the bookings. Its not fair on other staff to be expected to cope. Service like this is disgusting in Solihull town centre but we will choose somewhere else next time.

I can’t fault the staffs friendliness but the service was not great. As the night progressed the wait just continued on as such. Coming from people that work in hospitality it was quite unfavourable, but also understand that sometimes understaffing could be the issue and not the employees fault.

But cold eating outside- even though there was a heater it didn’t have much affect and had to keep getting up to turn it on as it only lasted a short while. Food and service was great. I had eggs fungi and my husband had bacon and avocado which he said was lovely

Despite the best efforts of the Manager who worked hard to improve matters it was a poor show. I don’t like writing average reviews especially given how hard so many hospitality venues have been affected but I must also be honest.Despite booking weeks ahead the team were not expecting us. We were a party of 5 and after waiting around quite a bit we were taken to be seated at 2 separate tables in an area that was unprepared and not welcoming. Chap said tables couldn’t be moved and was uninterested when I said we had a booking as one party. He wanted to seat us apart. We had waited so long to see family and this was the whole point of our visit. It was upsetting. Place was not busy. Manager was called and he arranged a table for all of us. We were seated 25 mins after our arrival time. Venue does not offer blankets or comforters but does have small heaters (on timers). Wrap up and take your own blankets if cold (when eating outside).Food was adequate but not great and value is a average at best, offering does not compare well to say the ‘Lovely Pub’ group for a similar price. Portion size is small. Great drink and wine selections available. Our last drinks order included a second bottle of wine for 2. 5 mins later we were given the bill and told we’d have to leave in 10 mins. When we asked why an order had been taken, server was bordering rude and said we could take the bottle home. We had been there less that the 2hrs 15 mins allocated and 25 of those we were kept waiting. Surely we could have expected the waiter to advise us before taking this order? Manager again intervened and extended our stay, which we much appreciated.When a final Bill arrived a deduction had been made for the second bottle of wine, which was nice and we added this amount back as a tip. Overall visit marred by poor arrival, feeling uncomfortable at having to complain and some team members not customer focussed. Others though were very nice. Manager deserves a medal for his efforts and to us seemed to be holding the whole show together.

We were booked in for Christmas dinner which obviously didn’t happen but we were offered the option of dinner in a box. Five course meal, all prepared, along with instructions for final cooking and serving. The food was superb, couldn’t fault a thing. Thank you Beech House for a wonderful (if a little different) Christmas Day experience!

Had a lovely family meal in this restaurant. Good and atmosphere was brilliant but the absolute best part of our experience was our superb waitress Becky. She was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for her. We will definitely be going back!

Firstly. I felt vey comfortable with the system in place for Covid. Worked well. Shame some people are unable to grasp the rules.The service was very good. Prompt and with a smile, even from behind the masks.Good selection of drinks and food. Food was hot, tasty and looked great!This is a Gastro pub, so prices reflect that. However, I didn't leave feeling I'd over paid as we got what we paid for, so to speak. So was good value.Well worth a visit. We'll defo be back.Only grip is when they take food / drink to the dinners outside there's a rush of cold air into the restaurant. Didn't last long and the general heating worked well to overcome this, in the main.

We have had drinks on a number of occasions duringCovid-19 and found the venue to be really good in terms of spacing of customers, sanitisation and table service.Visited for the first time for food on Wednesday as part of the ongoing £10 eat out promotion. We were really impressed with the food - piping hot and good sized portions, although this unfortunately meant we couldn't manage desert. Soup (roasted cauliflower) and Scotch egg starters were really good and we thoroughly enjoyed the mains (Pollo Picante and Rump of Lamb). Service was great too - our waiter Andras was really helpful and friendly. We will be back.

First time we've been here, definitely won't be the last! Met up with the girls for a little celebration to make up for lost time over lockdown and ended up having the BEST Long Island iced tea ever. Staff were great, particularly the Irish barman who was really charming and advised us on drink recommendations.. (thanks Peter!) Great service and a lovely atmosphere! Next time I'm in town I will definitely be coming back to check out the food

Went to The Beech House as a treat for my Husband's birthday.At first our greeting was warm and friendly and we were taken to our outside table I went to the reception and ordered drinks (everything okay).Then a young lady who was barely dressed came and took our order for food.Our food came without cutlery,which we waited about 5 minutes for.This doesn't seem a long time,but when you are outside staring at your food it is.We ate our main which was average,and we waited at least 15 mins for someone to clear the table and ask for a dessert order.As we had already paid we decided to go elsewhere for our dessert

This was my second visit here . The first time was disappointing but the second visit was dreadful. 4 poached eggs between us and not one of them runny. All hard inside. The sourdough was stale .The tiny pot of beans was congealed on top as though it had been standing ages under heaters. Coffee was cold. When we complained all we got was a free coffee and a free tea. This very expensive breakfast is simply not worth it. It was 11 am on a Sunday morning an it was empty. The place is dull . dark and dreary.

Menu has a fair selection, starters of veg fritti and beetroot falafel were very good, mains were also good, house burger and belly pork, but pricey compared to say chef and brewers and of similar standard. They have extended the eat out scheme so eventual price was good. Marked down only as good because there was a unacceptably long wait between starters and mains.

First visit to a restaurant since March. Has not visited here before. Easy to reserve table online for lunch midweek.Staff friendly and service very good. Social distancing well practised and good relaxed atmosphere.Varied menu, we had the pizza and chicken burger which were both really nice. Would recommend and return in the future.

Myself and 2 others came out for a quiet meal and drinks on a Friday to relax. The food, atmosphere and staff were fantastic. We had joe who was a lovely, friendly server who made us laugh all night. Can’t recommend him enough as a server! He joined in our jokes and made sure all of our food and drinks came to us correctly and quickly. All of the food was freshly made and it made the difference, I've never had a pizza so good. The drinks are to die for as well, very refreshing and a wide variety to choose from Thanks joe for an amazing night and thanks for the best food I’ve had in ages!

Very disappointing indeed! My family love this place. Was planning a visit for a while. Finally found the time to pay a visit, we checked out the website and times of closing. I constantly tried to call the number on the website . (at least 6times) any way we still decided to visit, as it said 6pm on website we started our journey ( 60 mile round trip) Was very excited when we arrived, walked inside, there was a few people at tables, the band practicing, a lady, blonde hair not sure of she was host or waitress ignored us for a few minutes, I went over and asked if we could get some drinks, she said sharply we are closing at 3pm today, was quite shocked and replied, oh website advised 6pm (time now a little after 3pm) she snapped back, NOT TODAY, the manners and attitude threw me a little.(she seemed under pressure and short tempered)I tried to explain, it would ne good for potential customers making a long journey to visit, if you kept the website updated or at least answer the phone. There's a right way & wrong way to speak to people, she was very rude indeed. Has we was leaving, a member of the band asked what was wrong, I told him what had happened. Okay, I get private function was on that day, but even after all that, it's how you treat people, Some times ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY, ITS HOW YOU SAY IT!!
