The Brook Inn in Redditch

Since moving away from the area, it's been a good few years since last visited here, fantastic welcome by all of the young, enthusiastic staff who could not do any more to ensure that we had a great evening. Excellent food in the lovely surroundings, loved the addition of the outside bar and the street food served looked great. We will definitely be back when next down.

Decided as it was a gorgeous sunny and warm evening to try The Shack at The Brook as it just fitted the evening , outdoor eating , cocktails… fabulous food The outdoor area is stunning, well thought out and inviting. There were families , young couples , groups of friends eating , sharing food , the staff are amazing especially Lola who has served us on a number of occasions , asking how we are , just the personal touch , makes a difference . Speedy service , while drinking our delicious cocktails, pina colada , our food came and as always it was amazing !! I had the ribs , he had the Tika burger and we shared specialty fries , possibly hoisin duck fries , but can’t quite remember. The owners know how to get the customers in and more importantly how to deliver fabulous food , time and time again , they have created an amazing place to visit , highly recommend, you will NOT be disappointed 💕

Calling into the shack at the Brook was pleasantly surprised with some street food we had ribs and a burger and some fries with housing duck I believe and a couple of cocktails, which are lovely if you’re in the area and get a chance to try on a nice summer afternoon. This is the placecouldn’t fault it. Good food fairly priced in a lovely setting well done the book you got this right

Sunday roast is probably the best in Worcestershire. Superb. The staff are lovely and attentive. Perfect little pub and restaurant.

What can I say , it’s the No 1 place to eat at in the midlands and we eat out 3-4 times a week. Easy parking , stunning place , inside and out , a new eating shack outside with beautiful sitting areas . As you enter the building it has a lovely atmosphere about it , contemporary but authentic , tastefully designed interior. Food is out of this world , we had the Cornish sole which was cooked to perfection and chicken supreme which was also delicious, mouthwatering in fact . Staff were friendly and attentive and I would give it 10 out of 10 across the board . Booking essential for this little gem of a pub

We were a party of 8 for my birthday. As soon as you walk into the bar you are greeted with smiles from the bar staff we were seated immediately but the staff were happy to leave us until the final 2 guests arrived the food was amazing hot definitely worth a visit and we will be returning

We were an awkward family group of 11, grand parents to grand children, on a busy Saturday night. However, the staff looked after us all extremely well. Plus, the food was well prepared and beautifully presented. We all had a Great evening and will be back..

Stopped for a sandwich and a pint with a business colleague. Glad I booked as the place was packed. We had an enjoyable couple of hours. The food and service were good.

One of our favourite pubs for good dining out. Food delicious. Steak cooked perfectly. Every bite was tasty. Service a little slow which not a problem normally but the family birthday party with a young toddler and 2 older children, was horribly noisy. We wanted to eat and go adapt. Couldn't hear the music, just banging of wood on wood and toddler screaming (enjoying himself). Unseated in a self created play area and roaming around other diners and under staff feet. We should have walked out with hindsight, 2 1/2 hours of loud unacceptable noise. Go to family pubs or control your children. Utterly selfish actions and they seem to enjoy the disruption they were creating/actually they may have been oblivious! Even the family leaving (thank heaven for that) and saying good bye was prolonged and noisy. Other groups of eaters were clearly affected too. Parents were totally oblivious and ignored the noise /chaos. I have no problem with families dining out but this by far the worst ever. Staff were in very difficult position however a quiet word with the parents about the disruptive behaviour wouldn't have gone amiss. If this did happen it didn't work. And' please do not return with the poor toddler', on the way out. We should all have been offered a free return meal or money off our bill. We certainly won't be back any time soon unfortunately.

Absolutely incredible food and such lovely staff! One of the best restaurants by far especially at Christmas time - the decor is gorgeous! Cannot even begin to describe how amazing the pigs in blankets are either!

First visit to the Brook was an enjoyable one, waited for our table to become ready in the bar area! Food was very good and the service was efficient and friendly, looking forward to a return visit and have recommended to friends

Arrived a few minutes early at 3.15pm for our 3.30pm booking. Very warm welcome from blonde waitress at bar. Very quickly seated by dark haired waitress with glasses who wasn't very friendly from the start. Pub was fairly busy on arrival but soon became fairly quiet, perhaps explaining our tail end of service poor experience. Wine list had to be chased as didn't arrive. Drinks also had to be chased. Service to actually place our order had to be chased as we were seemingly abandoned after asking for a few minutes to chose our meals after being asked for our order only a couple of minutes after arrival. Further service had to be chased from our "dead zone" later in the meal. These were details only, very annoying but par for the course these days sadly. The main and more significant issue was the quality of the roast beef. Tough to the point that you could not cut it. Also delivered not as requested in terms of cooking so lots of back and forth to get our meat cooked as we had asked. Numerous veg were cold or luke warm. Several yorkshire pudding way beyond crisp to the point of being burnt. Excessive salt on majority of veg. Manageress arrived fairly quickly and was initially responsive but the experience at this stage was already hugely spoiled. Replacement food was much better but by that stage we had been put off the whole lunch and to reflect this were offered 2 glasses of wine and a portion of custard to compliment our dessert! This place has been unreliable since the start of the Giles ownership. The family attitude to customers is poor. We asked for the manager to review the bill to reflect the poor experience and ended up being passed a phone to talk to the manager who had gone home. This some 3 hours after we entered the pub due to the awful experience we had encoiuntered.

This place never disappoints! super delicious food, super attentive service, lovely atmosphere, will be back soon 😁

We (3 adults with good appetites) had the October lunchtime offer £15 for two courses. Choice of 3 starters and 3 mains - each starter was excellent but can only comment on the one main (chicken, leek and bacon pie), top notch. The service was excellent, the beer well kept, the only downside was not having enough room for dessert. Best pub food we’ve had for years.

Have been twice in a week! Lovely cosy pub, great menu and the food was exceptional! Such a friendly place to visit, tucked away but perfect for any occasion or just because you can! Found it on Instagram, it doesn’t disappoint!

I always forget how good the food here is, never disappointed. Such a skilled chef using local and seasonal ingredients and attentive staff

Our group of 6 enjoyed an early evening dinner on. Saturday evening late in September. I selected the ribs as a starter, the fish and chips for a main course and sticky toffee treacle pudding for dessert. All very good, prepared and presented to a high standard. Would recommend.

Good quality food, somewhat overpriced. They hardly satisfy an appetite unless you order additional vegetables, but they don't tell you this when they take your order.

We went to the first tapas and tunes night and it was brilliant. There was a great buzz in the venue and the singer was really good. There were 4 of us and we pretty much tried everything on the menu - all the dishes were executed to a high standard, looked and tasted great. We discussed at the end which was the best tapas dish and everyone said a different one, which shows how great they all were. The only little niggle was the service was a bit slow towards the end of the evening. We had to leave the table and pay at the bar as we had a taxi waiting for us, and we couldn’t get the staffs attention at the table for about 10 mins. Overall though, this can be forgiven seeing as they were so busy, and everything else was faultless. Great job, we will be back!

Wow! What a great night. I went for the new event they put on which was “Tunes and Tapas”. They had a live signer which was amazing and great atmosphere. We ordered tapas dishes which were all presented lovely and great tasting. The service was also very good, waitresses very tentative asking if we needed any more drinks etc. All in all, great service, great food and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back again.

This place is really very, very nice indeed.and a complete surprise. Just a five minute drive from where I live (I didn't even know about it until quite recently), this beautiful country pub and restaurant is ideal for a Summers evening dinner or to relax with a drink on the terrace. My wife and I spent a very chill couple of hours here over dinner in what was one of the best restaurants I've come across in Worcestershire. A well thought out modern menu concentrating on local and sustainably sourced ingredients, compliments and enhances perfectly the "vibe' and ethos of the place, nice job. Despite the fact that it must have been 28 degrees in the main dining area it was all expertly and calmly delivered by efficient and enthusiastic smiley staff. Highlights for me were the spicy pulled lamb burger which was stunningly good - one of the best burgers I've eaten, and the truffle oil chips. Don't think for one minute this is just a burger joint, the extensive menu includes fresh fish of the day, dry aged steaks, as well as an assortment of vegan and vegetarian options. It was quite busy for a Thursday evening so I would recommend booking which can be easily done through the website. It was the perfect location for us in beautiful surroundings, all sensibly priced, with plenty of parking, it ticked all the boxes. Yeah, fantastic!

We were a table of 16 and booked in for 7pm. First time visit to this place, really nice decor and vibe on entering. We were shown to our table and the drinks order was taken and delivered to us quickly. The waitress who took our order was fab and nothing was too much trouble and she answered our numerous questions and accommodated our requests. When the starters arrived, what can I say….. WOW ! Everyone’s food looked and tasted amazing. Staff were great at offering and getting us drinks throughout our meal. Mains came and all I can say is that everyone was again delighted with the presentation and taste. The chef was incredible, to be able to produce that high level of food for so many people along with the rest of the diners that were in too. In summary, incredible food, fantastic staff, great looking pub with fantastic decor and atmosphere. 100% will be back, thank you so much. The owners should be very proud of their venue and team.

We arrived at 19.20. When we were seated it took 20 minutes for someone to take our order. When we could finally get the attention of a waitress, she said ‘I can take your order now but there will be a delay as there is a table of 16’, instantly making us feel like a burden. She took our order and it was then a 50 minute wait to just get our bread. Following that, it wasn’t until 21.00 that we finally received our mains. The youngest waitress was the only member of staff to acknowledge the delay or apologise for it, with the manager not to be seen. There was no accountability. Additionally, when I asked for water, I did not receive it until I asked a second time about 20 minutes later. I must note that I asked the younger waitress and she got it for us immediately. Throughout the meal we were ignored by all but one member of staff. If I ever looked over to try and get someone’s attention they just turned the other way. When we received the bill we were surprised to see that nothing has been deducted from it. It was insulting. My partner spoke to the manager at the end of the meal to complain about the wait times and the manager would not stop arguing back with him. We have never complained before and felt very awkward doing it. He very politely and calmly explained the issue with the wait times, which she obviously was aware of. She, however, continually argued back with him and said she could only take the bread off the bill. She also blamed him for not having complained about the wait times during the meal, which was extremely unreasonable as it was such a large wait time that there was no possible way she could have been unaware of it. Ultimately, it was a shame because the food was actually very nice, but we were constantly made to feel like a burden by majority of the staff and the manager’s terrible attitude really left a sour note. It was the opposite of a relaxing meal and we went home feeling stressed! If the owner of the restaurant does read this, please know that the waitress with blonde hair and braces was lovely and was the only member of staff that made us feel acknowledged.

Lovely place to eat! Food is amazing. Prices reflect the good quality food that is served too you. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Table service...such a rare treat these days. Friendly staff too. Will definitely return!

Best roast beef anywhere! Visited twice in past month for Sunday roast at lunch time. Food just fabulous, super quality, expertly cooked and great portions. The team are super friendly and efficient. Price good too. All round a total winner!

Sunday roast was amazing! Beef and Yorkshire pudding was cooked perfectly. Ample supple of yummy local veggies and extra gravy. What more could you ask for? Staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. Service was speedy and price reflected the quality of the food. Definitely recommend this...

We tried this restaurant as moving to the area. Lovely pub and surroundings but cocktails very poor and over priced. I have the the tomatoes with mozzarella, which had 4 tiny balls of mozzarella and tomatoes, no basil as said on the menu. Food disappointing,...

The Brook is a very well presented dog friendly pub in a country location. The outside seating area is overlooking lots of trees and an effort has been made with plants and table decorations. The staff are efficient, cheerful and friendly. The menu is a...

Excellent food, good beer, great staff. Always brilliant. Seasonal food choices with an outdoor pizza oven running through the summer months. A genuine hidden gem.

As a group of friends we met for lunch at the Brook Inn and we had a table in the Woodshed. The food we had was first class with good sized portions. The service was excellent from very friendly and welcoming staff. The Inn is...

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime after previously visited on a Saturday lunchtime where we had a positive experience. However things weren’t so great second time around. It was our wedding anniversary and decided to treat our family to Sunday lunch. When we arrived wasn’t the...

Took my friend here for her birthday treat. We were extremely disappointed. Very strange and limited menu. Rabbit and squid!! We struggled to find anything that appealed. I paid £17.50 for a chicken salad. My friend was charged £5.50 for a small portion of broccoli...

This pub is lovely, we went on quite a busy evening and there was a nice atmosphere. However we waited over 1 hour for our starters to arrive and then around 45 mins for mains. We found this excessive & disappointing, and the children in...

It took an hour for our meal to arrive which is longer than expected. The food was nice however. There were errors with the drinks and a minor error on the bill which we didn’t mention and just paid. And it’s expensive here as well....

Sunday lunch was amazing. I had chicken, my husband had lamb, my sister the veggie option. Absolutely delicious. No complaints. Our perfect pub.

So we are the customers every food establishment hates. My husband is coeliac & I am vegan. So we had low expectations. But the staff at the Brook were welcoming, unflustered & helpful. They discussed with a chef & brought us individualised menus. When the...

A traditional country pub with a modern extension. Excellent lunch food, well presented, served by friendly and helpful staff. The lunch menu is quite limited enabling them to prepare and deliver quality. Some unusual items on the menu that were delightful.

Roast beef was amazing, the roast potatoes and parsnips the best I have had! Fresh vegetables, the overall portion size was very generous. My husband had fish and chips and he said it was excellent. The waitresses were lovely and we were not rushed in...

Tonight, the special was steak tartare - not to everyone's taste I know, but so good that it should become a signature dish for The Brook ! Last week I had the slow cooked duck breast which was sensational. The steak tartare was every bit...

The meal we had yesterday evening was fabulous. We really enjoyed it. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. We’d definitely recommend The Brook. 👌

I have been to multiple places for a Sunday dinner and this is easily number 1 . All items expertly cooked and great service . Easily recommended for a Sunday dinner . If I was to make a change it would just be the rib...

We have been several times to The Brook, but always for lunch so decided to celebrate my birthday with a dinner there - not wishing to exaggerate, but it couldn't have been a better birthday treat! All of the dishes we ordered were of a...

First time at this restaurant and we’ll definitely be back. One of the best meals out any of us can remember having. A truly memorable experience

We ate lunch here on on a Tuesday in January. The pub was not busy but had two warm welcoming log fires blazing on a frosty day. In addition to the normal a la carte menu, which includes lunchtime sandwiches, there was a "Penny Watch"...

First visit and will definitely return. The beef was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, the veg was delicious, a nice touch to provide extra gravy. Excellent service, food and a lovely atmosphere.

We have been to The Brook before but this was totally different. We had not booked but they found us a table. Food has always been good but today it was amazing. The staff were friendly but not over attentive. The fire was lit and...

Perfect Sunday lunch in cosy country pub. Friendly, welcoming staff and top notch food at reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommended

Service was good but the food was hugely disappointing. Firstly the lunchtime offering has only one vegi meal. The pub did offer to get me something from the evening menu but why was this necessary? Are they in the dark ages? The choice was still...

Visited on an early Saturday evening for some fish and chips. Overall very good, service was attentive, however, the drinks prices are somewhat steep.

We had driven past this restaurant and noticed the food fired pizzas sign so after a quick check on TA we booked a table for that night. The car parks were unexpectedly full for a Thursday night (though we found out they have an offer...

Our very first visit impressed us, now we are regulars. Todays visit was , just as before, a delight. The very friendly staff were on hand and the food was superb. Duck Kiev is the new starter I chose and was fantastic (and will no...

Visited with friends recently and queried drinks prices as we ordered two rounds of the same drinks with a four pound difference in price. Manager was quite rude and even suggested it was our fault we had been charged differently for the same identical rounds...

Have been going to the brook for years and had really good food but last night was awful . We have had the Duck Kiev starter many times its always been excellent , last night the center was wet and soggy , just like it...

Food and service very good esp the fish and chips, halibut and chicken Caesar salad. At £9 for a glass of wine however this does make for an expensive evening out when you have a family of 4 adults.

The Brook is making a steady rise to its former glory. Top chef, producing proper food with imagination and aplomb. The Pea and Garlic soup was amazing, the Belly Pork .What more was the size of a Sunday joint, Not a scrap left. Attractive, attentive...

Have been going for a while, really enjoy the food, but it was too cold inside to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. Would have been five stars if the fire was lit.

Honestly, nothing comes close to the food in this pub. Sensational! The whole team are superb too. Hats off, I'll be back next week! Luke

I've been visiting the brook for a very long time, with a great experience, but I am sad to say the last 5 or 6 times I've been it's been very cold in there, I've been sat drinking my drink and shivering with cold hands...

Excellent service , proper country pub two open log fires crackling . The menu didnt have the greatest of choice but was local produce on the menu and was exactly what I wanted . The food was very nice and great size portion couldnt fit...

We had a really fantastic meal at The Brook last night. The food was excellent quality and the service very friendly. Lovely atmosphere too.

We had a fantastic lunch at the Brook. The good was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu was imaginative ,we could have eaten everything on it!

This is a hidden gem nestled in the countryside. The chef has a real talent for tastes and flavours. They have recently launched a January seasonal menu. The short rib with bourguinion sauce and mashed potato is as good as you could get anywhere. If...

Really impressed Great food and well cooked with friendly staff who remember you and make you feel welcome and really looked after then this is the place for you. The Brook for me has a calm cosy atmosphere where you can snuggle away in a...

I’ve always loved this place, but sorry to say it’s really declined :/ Service was terrible, not checking our drinks, waiting ages to take our order (but so quiet as others have said) having to literally find people and flag them down. Food tasted good,...

Having been a few times before, I felt a review is in order to commend the food and staff here. Great food from starters to deserts and the staff we helpful and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend to people that are after a decent pub...

They’ve fixed the wobbly tables - that was good to see. The food was okay, the service was a bit below par. They weren’t busy, and appeared to have plenty of experienced staff on the floor. Can’t understand why it needed so long a wait...

What a great menu the food was delicious would recommend anyone to eat here thank you for a great time .

This was my first time at The Brook and I was really excited after my friend recommended it. All I can say was the food was amazing and the service and surroundings were to a very high standard. We sat near the fireplace and had...

Sunday roast was amazing. The beef was cooked perfectly, great range of vegetables, all cooked and presented perfectly. Service was excellent too. Definitely recommend.

Our first meal out after months of lockdown and what a wonderful experience it was! We'd heard such good things about the new owners and the great food that it was the obvious choice to pick. The interior has changed slightly, less fussy, more clean...

Been doing a little tour of the local pubs to see which is the best Sunday Lunch and at the moment this place wins it for me. Beef cooked beautifully, enough veg and if not just ask for a bit more and it’s no more...

Called in for lunch - my 4 year old immediately commented on the 'funny smell' and I had to agree, the bar area smelt a bit unclean really. Decor is a bit 'tired' aswell and atmosphere is lacking - they could do to play some...

The best Sunday lunch we have had for years. Fabulous rare roast beef, that was tender and very flavoursome, a proper homemade Yorkshire, braised leeks, cauliflower cheese, roast carrots, parsnips and potatoes with friendly efficient service. Just had room to share a tasty coffee tiramisu...

I wanted to try something new, for Friday nights and came across the Brook whilst I was searching . On the face of it, the website looked and sounded great - country pub with al a crate dining. And the menu sounded fab too. Yes,...

The Brook used to be the place to go in Redditch. Recent visit was a disappointment. What were described as triple cooked chips were in fact frozen. Maybe they had been cooked 3 times but they were nothing like the hand cut chips they used...

Spent a Friday lunchtime at the Brook Inn. The starters and mains were brilliant. Both burgers we had we cooked perfectly and we recommend this pub yo anyone who is thinking about going.

Dont know what happened tonight. Menu so limted with items not avaiable. Food below average. Ordered two starters €8 each for such small portions. No atmosphere not great service. I feel so sorry that a place i haven enjoyed the food has lost the plot....

We have visited the brook several times, and really like it. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the food is usually pretty good. I don’t know why their cask ale - Wainwright when we went - was so cold. It was colder than...

Booked a table in advance and upon arrival appeared to be given what was left of which was a table the furthest away from everywhere else. Order taken for drinks then simply forgotten about. Half an hour later food order taken of which arrived within...

We visited with friends on a busy Saturday night and had booked a table. We ordered a drink and waited an hour. The food was okay but it appeared the staff were overstretched.

So great to go out again! First impression was how immaculate it was outside, the owners have made a massive effort. Inside, we were welcomed and shown to our table. Drinks ordered and promptly served. My Wife had Hake and I the mouth watering beef,...

Fabulous meal at The Brook and it felt like a real treat being able to finally eat inside! Staff were great and the food is some of the best we've had. Short rib of beef was simply awesome. Great value, great setting, fantastic food....well recommended...

Had a lovely lunch to celebrate the end of a mile stone!!! Had the most genuine, polite and friendly waitress/manager- her name was Katie! Really enjoy our meal and the service was phenomenal :) Will be returning!

It's great to be indoors with a good pint and a meal in the Brook Inn. The pub is spotless as ever and the atmosphere is great. We ate at lunchtime enjoying perfectly cooked and presented meals, and the service was quick and the staff...

I had probably the best gluten free burger I've ever eaten out at a restaurant here on the weekend - the Get Piggie with it. Big portions, delicious food and very friendly service. Despite the terrible weather and the fact the waitresses were getting soaked,...

Booked a table nearly 2 weeks in advance, turned up well in time but they didn’t have anything available for us. We were offered a wet table in the rain which was disappointing. Shame as the food looked very nice.

New out door pizza oven Absolutely brilliant what these guys have achieved with their outdoor space is fantastic. The pizzas are fabulous well worth a visit

An Absolutely delicious lunch between Christmas and New Year. We ate the goats cheese pâté, sticky ribs, steak sandwich, fish finger sandwich, cod and chips followed by cheesecake and the amazing churros. Highly recommend a visit when the Covid restrictions are lifted.

Went for food & drinks at the brook last weekend and was massively impressed by everything. The service was first class from drinks to serving the food all the staff was polite and got it right. Time was spot on, not rushed and not left...
