The Black Horse - JD Wetherspoon in Birmingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The blackhorse has really stood the test of time it is a beautiful building inside and out with lots of historical architecture the garden out the back are beautiful and clean the food is just the standard weather spoons food but I have never had bad food here it's cheap and cheerful

Had miners benedict, was very nice. The real ale was good too.

'Traditional' Wetherspoons. You know what to expect and it delivers. Great :-)

Place easy to find, has to upgrade wifi in order to use its app smoothly, 3 hr free parking

Beautiful area. Pub where you feel good. Place worth a visit

Had a family meal. Reasonably priced, great service and staff were helpful

A truly great place to have a pint and good food

Wasn't impressed with food quality but the building and atmosphere was lovely,

Good food, good atmosphere. Didn't take long to be served at the bar despite it being busy. I would recommend.

Typical weatherspoons pub... great value and service.. a little bit dated but in the whole what you'd expect.

The pub is in a beautiful historic and massive building with a large garden area overlooking a bowling green. Beer was good as was our meals, service was okay

Pretty typical wetherspoons. Some colourful local wildlife.

Good meal's great atmosphere real ale great good staff but sometimes not enough staff

Sadly every place has a bad day. This appeared to be their's. Others have given this place a great review. Unfortunately, one dish sold out (not their fault, happens). One dish came out cold (heated without fuss). Another so bad they had to remake it. Turned a quick Sunday meal in to an epic fail. Like I say others have been impressed and the other food was good. We all have an off day. Would I go back.. Maybe it is a nice building.

Been here a few times but today was not one of the best experiences for wasn't great service both bar and delivery left a lot to be desired

Food only luke warm. Asked if meal was ok and I said its almost cold. Did nothing. Very disappointed.

Had a wedding do upstairs, was spacious. The food was a little over cooked but drinks were reasonable.

Service excellent. Prices Fantastic. Food was good but the portion size is woefully small. I ordered fish and chips and was served a small fish and possibly a dozen chips. I was assured that the "small" version would have been even smaller. Left hungry.

Great pub, good service, nice food

If you drink Worthington do not come to this pub we went 26 miles to this pub they said they have not got any it is a disgrace pull your socks up Tim Martin

Could've put the black pudding on the breakfasts

I complain when it's needed and compliment when due. Would not have come here but fiance wanted walk, drink, food, so. What a 1000% improvement on my last visit and review. Nice sunny evening so sat outside and ordered via the app, (Drinks only well we look at food) I'm impressed, arrived in 4 minutes, exactly as ordered. After the first drinks time to order food, and well done, arrived in under 8 minutes, hot, edible, and nice to look at, well done chef, presentation is noticed !!. Scampi and a curry, all very nice. Food, drinks, pleasant outside surroundings, and enjoyed. Well done and thank you.

Breakfast spot on all nice and fresh

I do not recommend, we waited for the burger for over an hour and then it turned out that the waiter did not accept our order as two burgers, only one wrap, where we paid for 2 meals

I ordered two burgers and 3 beers I got the beers I waited a long time for the burgers because they lost my order

Food was really nice and came quick, drinks are cheap and they arrive quite quickly. Some staff were more friendly than others. Outside of it is really nice but inside isn’t as nice as other spoons I’ve been too. Toilets are clean and there’s a lot of them, but facilities aren’t always topped up. Menus are updated and easy to read, new items added which were nice to try. Portion of chips sometimes is way too small. Gammon was cooked nicely. Egg comes runny.

Nice pud, great prices. The staff are lovely and quick service. Only been there in the daytime but lovely experiance.

Lovely spacious pub . They just need to clean and clears tables quicker .Overally good

Lovely breakfast, staff very friendly and helpful especially Trinity who was extra helpful when ordering our food.

Just went to the black horse for breakfast Order a vegetarian with extra bacon n a normal large breakfast both bacon was missing took the one breakfast back but bacon and then I realised the tomato was missing of the veggie breakfast they then took that back and brought me the bacon out to sit and go cold while they sorted my breakfast out it was meant to be two pieces of bacon I got one piece n a load of fatty pieces to make up the piece the breakfast was cold n we specifically asked for runny eggs and the eggs were hard I then asked is it a new chef as I'm a chef myself n work in pubs to be told the gm was in the kitchen well clearly don't know what there doing came from far aswell as never had a problem with the breakfast before so disappointed

Busy but plenty of room to keep a Distance from strangers. Lager good.

We held our Baby's Gender Reveal and all the staff were very receptive from the beginning. The food was excellent and we will definitely come back more often!

Always happy to eat at Black horse, good food, yummy, drinks ,smiling staff. I feel they need to work more on getting the tables clean once the customer leaves. Most times, i do need to call their attention for this.

Cheap beer but could be a cleaner pub

A lovely Xtra Large WS🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄 with a variety of different characterful rooms. Efficient reliable service delivered by amenable staff.

Great place for meeting for coffee or a drink or food.

Very large and unusual 'spoons in a historic improved pub.

Really nice pub, first visit, very busy when we turned up and managed to get a table, there was outside seating for those who preferred this option. Busy and unable to find someone to remove the previous plates and glasses, or clean the table,,we were able to move the used dishes glasses etc to another table and cleaned our own table but accepted it on how busy the staff were. Meals were good value for the money and drinks too. Recommended

The access is good, but the staff seem fed up to be there. The food is good and so are the cocktails. The disabled toilet is roomy and clean.

Nice breakfast. Ordered on the app and arrived quickly.

Good grub, good prices, good venue but a tad too noisy for me. My guess is the place is heaving at weekends and evenings and fair enough too. Easy access and ample parking so it fitted the bill ok for us that day.

Fairly typical Wetherspoons pub with a standard menu. We ate burgers and pizzas and all tasted quite good. Update, April 2nd 2024 Received parking penalty in post for not registering my car on the tablet at the bar. The staff at The Black Horse very kindly arranged for this to be cancelled, excellent service. Ensure that you put your registration number into the tablet upon arrival, 3 hours max parking.

Great value for money. One pint of Ruddles bitter £1.59. excellent pint Just shows beer doesn't have y be £6 per pint. If you are hungry a good place to stop. Forget beer this is the place for coffee. Something like £1.65 you can have as many refills as you want of great coffee miles better than McDonald's coffee.

A good place to come for a drink

Visited as a group of six for breakfast on a Saturday morning. We all ordered individually on the app, and it was so easy. It's a typical Wetherspoons, so you should know what to expect, but what a great building!

Visited here tonight. Ordered a chicken tikka masala curry with a pint (San Miguel). Can’t complain for £10. Got served at bar shortly and meal come out in under ten minutes. Will return back. Sat in quieter part of pub. Nice 😊

The food was good and ordering via the app was quick and hassle-free

Established roadhouse pub serving food and drinks part of the JD Westerspoon group

Always a welcome. Incredible staff and great atmosphere

All in all not a bad pub 🍻 nice selection of ales. Food is not bad. Nice staff.

Had a chicken cheese and bacon panini with chips and drink The panini was not like panini bread and was overcooked all they put in there was a bit chicken and cheese no bacon was in there not happy i paid 7 quid for that not even worth it Disappointed

Nice staff that are friendly and nice atmosphere always so clean and food is delicious!

The mix race worker from here is absolutely rude very unprofessional and needs to learn how to communicate properly. Needs to learn some manners and not talk to people like they are beneath him absolutely disrespectful. Don’t work in customer service if you don’t know how to talk to people.

Great feel to the place with it's architecture and public

Best whetherspoons in birmingham staff are polite unlike other city venues keep up the great work

Had a lovely bottle of prosecco and celebrated with my wife, 50 years to the day we met in the actual pub!

I forgot to register my number plate at the bar and they sent me an angry letter.

Ok for a drink. Breakfast is ok apart from the fried eggs.

Great breakfast and plenty of sitting area. Nice beer garden in the summer.

You know what you get with a Wetherspoons and this is a fine example.

There were a few of us meeting up for a family get together before Christmas. Several of us had meals that weren't very warm, certainly had better there in the past. We go there every year as a lot of us travel from all over the country but have to say was disappointed this time.

Worked outside and the staff are great , dripped tools Friday night and treated myself to a meal deal

This is highly recommended place to have fun with friends and family.

Not been in this pub for years quite busy for breakfast time. Breakfast arrived quickly and hot great to have refillable hot drinks also. Reasonably priced good value we will be back

Went here for my wife's 30th they were very accommodating. Good prices decent pint

Good atmosphere, great staff and good food

The meal was fantastic and the service was also very good ...A jolly good night

nice pub good food fast service

Great place to eat nice food and great price

Beware of car parking charges. Pathetic system for car parking. No instructions or any help by staff. And you get a bill for 75£ as parking charges. Night times you cannot even see special parking notice boards.

Staff are friendly, good atmosphere

Today we went after months to have a relaxing meal which was ok in itself. When we were leaving we noticed a man was being laid out on the floor. The ambulance arrived and blocked all the cars in. They refused to pull out of the way and park in a safe spot to let us out resulting in us all queuing up in the carpark on a cold night. I can see why people get put off by them. Weatherspoon staff need to be trained on seeking out appropriate place away from clients to care for the sick and directing emergency vehicles to the appropriate place without upsetting clients. Complete shambles!

The whole place was cold, would expect the hearing on a cold day like today. Food was good if you like to get salmonella from un cooked eggs. The bacon was chewy and cold. Just would not recommend at all

Top notch place, first of all the carpet is just as you'd expect from a Wetherspoons pub, busy. In classic Wetherspoons style there's no music, which means you can sit with your alarmingly cheap round of drinks that you've bought for yourself, and enjoy the show. (Which this week was an older lady knocking a man out of his chair to try to steal his walking aid). All in all would definitely recommend, as long as you are able bodied.

Real nice place for a selection of real ales and food is good delicious.

Came here as daughter went to the JLS concert found the pub via Google search we ordered half a chicken with spicy rice and a gourmet steak with a jacket potato... Food turned up within 15 minutes and was absolutely amazing best pub grub me and my wife have had in a long time 5 star for food and customer service

Food excellent - ambience and cleanliness needs to be improved.

Was there for a funeral wake in the function room...all ok

Lovely pub after cadbury World visit.

Always a good atmosphere here. Enjoyable place to have a few beers

Good atmosphere, good quality food.

They didn't let me eat my food and season the food myself, my wheelchair didn't go upstairs, I was crawling on the floor for 3 hours waiting for it to turn up

Great place for all you people that want to get drunk cheap. What more can I say about wetherspoons. Cheap drink, food is fairly decent and the staff are really friendly. Good location with a huge outdoor seated area so never without a seat.

I played Bowls for the first time here, nice pub.

Usual wetherspoons pub goog food good beer good value and friendly comfortable interior like it

Probably the best local pub in Northfield. Lovely staff. Cheap booze. And always someone getting glassed on a weekend.

Lovely fish/chips and mushy peas and good Customer service.

Food is excellent fresh and good price.

I want to thank the team on duty today - especially Laura for their honesty! This fool left his wallet on the counter. Instead of pocketing it, she put it in the safe until I came back to the bar. Many MANY thanks.

Ok better than I thought it would be. Great garden outside the back of the pub. But personally I prefer the Navigation Wetherspoons in King's Norton. But I'd still recommend the Black Horse

Going down hill over the last 7 years. With good staff leaving and bad staff replacing them. No proper management at evening time

The chicken strips wear over cooket

Such a great place to hold a wedding

Its Wetherspoons so you get what u want and need... lol

A good solid Spoons. Food - Good Booze - V. Good Staff - Good Atmosphere - V. Good Beer Garden - Great

I ordered 2x tuna baked potato meal's with non alcoholic beverage,we always have this so used to prices.the price was more than usual,so I questioned the bar lady who I've never seen before informed me it was correct. On checking at home I realised she charged me for meal with alcoholic drink. She should have checked when I questioned the price difference 😕.

Better beer selection then the navigation good seating outside will be back

Amazing food and beer, Friendly staff. And beautiful beer garden.

Excellent spoons, food is all ways very good would definitely recommend

WIFI Signal was atrocious, not able to cater for dietary requirements, dirty tables and not much choice of food as things out of stock, awaiting delivery... we left and went to a different restaurant.
