Lovely little pub. Excellent atmosphere for a Saturday night. We had booked a table earlier in the day and lucky we did as the small dining area was full. Lovely welcome. Ordered food and drink at the bar. Notified of a little delay for the pie for my partner which was no problem. I had the burger which was lovely, hot, tasty and a very good portion size! Unfortunately, my partner’s pie was cold in the centre, he also tells me his mash was not hot either but he’d eaten that. He was unable to eat the cold pie so alerted a member of staff at the bar. No one up until this food had checked if the food was okay. They could not have dealt with the situation better to be honest. Told us they would refund straight away, apology from both front of house members of staff, they warmed it up, they offered a drink on the house which we declined as were driving. It happens sometimes, but the professionalism in dealing with a problem was what stood out, thank you for not making it awkward, for being friendly and accommodating. Not sure we’ll be back for good but I’ve been here a few times for drinks before or after going to the Blue Orange Theatre across the road so I’ll continue this.

Booked for Sunday lunch at the Church Tavern as it came up as one of the best Sunday roasts in Birmingham when I Googled it, and I was not disappointed. I received a phone call in the morning asking me if I wanted to order my roast then, as they may have ran out by the time I arrived. On arrival, I we were greeted by a very welcoming member of the bar staff. When the dinner arrived, the beef was perfectly cooked, as were the accompanying veg. I am a bit of a fan of a roast dinner, and I can honestly say I would struggle to think of one as good as this. The two course Sunday lunch is also great value for money. I shall definitely be returning,

I wasn't sure about this restaurant as there were a few negative reviews. We eat out a lot, and I was not disappointed here. The service (thank you, Steve) was excellent, and the food was delicious!!!! We had squid to start, then a fish main, plus lovely puddings. I can't fault either the service or the food. We will be back when we revisit Norwich.

Embarassing! I’d booked this following amazing reviews from local food bloggers. Arrived into a freezing cold, gloomy pub with an equally freezing welcome. Shown into a ‘dining space’ which was empty, freezing and unwelcoming. Drinks were nice, that’s where it stops. Mushroom starter was basic given the description, burnt toast and tepid temperature: mains arrived and veg sent back for being cold, returned warmish with no apology. Main of roast beef was so tough and cold. I returned my main to an uninterested server who didn’t do anything to rectify the issue, she didn’t even come over to ask how it could be rectified. Just left me with nothing. Plates cleared with no basic customer service “how was everything” nothing! An absolute shambles and an embarrassment to hospitality. We paid our bill and left under a cloud

We celebrated our engagement party here in October and really could not fault The Church one bit. From the moment we asked to view the ‘dining room’, your team was incredibly welcoming, friendly and responsive - answering all our (many!) questions and offering support where needed with the menu. The stresses of the day (decorating etc.) were hugely alleviated by you accommodating us; letting us in earlier to decorate and offering your help when needed. As for the party itself, it was also great. It was a nice surprise learning that the cocktails were 2-4-1 at the start of the night. And even though the cocktails had to be made (and ordered) in the main pub, our bartender took our orders in the dining room and brought over our cocktails, which was a lovely touch. The food was delicious and we had our guests saying how nice the food was. The beers were also great, and was a reasonable price. The Church held our decorations and took us no more than 5 minutes to collect the next day. Everybody, including ourselves had a great time in all respects. Would definitely recommend these for a function - or a casual visit - as the food, drinks and service were all amazing.

The pub, and eating area, is dog-friendly which is a definite plus for us. The food was fine, although some was only lukewarm. Service was friendly, but some of the food took a long time to arrive. Cocktails are expensive. I would go back, but there are plenty of better restaurants in Birmingham.

We visited for Sunday lunch and we loved it. The portions were very generous, the food was delicious - gravies were outstanding - and service was great. I enjoyed every mouthful in a lovely setting and a drink in the sun on the roof terrace afterwards was the best way to round it off. Definitely will be back.

The dining room is more "back room of a pub" rather than "restaurant" but was fine. We were sat near to the doors which were in canstant use so quite draughty. All the food is delivered through these doors and has to go through the yard which was frequently occupied by groups of drinkers who were smoking. Not a nice view or smell for a diner. The cocktails were pleasant but rather small. the food was good and the service was fine. The roof terrace is still "under construction". My main issue was when we went to pay the bill it was card only. This should be made clear before booking and then I could chose not to use such a place. We retired to the bar for more drinks and this was also card payments only. Pleasant evening but could have been excellent if they were a little more customer oriented.

Booked a table for 9 as part of my daughter’s 50th birthday celebrations for Saturday 14th January. Seated straight away & 8pm. Only one other occupied table in restaurant which is at the back of the pub. Cold and soulless room. We could just about have dealt with that waiting for the starters was way too long. However, waiting for the main course was ridiculous. We began to think the chef had left the building and although the food was ‘ok’ the waiting for it wasn’t. Celebration dinner it wasn’t. We were pleasant and tolerant. We did get a discount on the bill but not enough to cover the disappointment. Will visit Birmingham again. We definitely won’t visit The Church.

It's something that really gets under my claw, public facing businesses that refuse cash... Like we didn't have enough "being told what to do and repression" during Covid times...(and watched a friend 'jump' to get out of being "told what to do", 2 years, to the day, tomorrow!) Rose la Vie? Cocktail was nice, but, drank it up, and left, on principle.. Please do not do business with places that refuse cash, as it's heralding a cashless society "no tooth fairy money, no paper note slipped in grannies birthday card etc" for a start... morally reprehensible on many levels Refuse cash... No, just no!!!

This pub used to be mine and friends favourite in The Jewelery quarter, what have the new owners done to it, terrible tacky decor, no atmosphere. They ripped out the beautiful bar,removed the cool classy seating, fake flowers adorn the bar. Terrible choice if any of drinks, would not reccomend this place to anyone.

We booked a private party here, on our initial booking the manager Claire promised us everything we wanted the following months her contact was poor and she consistently ignored my messages and queries. One day before the party I called her to confirmed what we had agreed and she said she was unable to provide what we had agreed even though I had confirmed on email. Then on the evening of the party, she was extremely rude and unhelpful. The bouncer seemed to think we were beneath him then kicked us out as he said the manager Claire said there had been a fight when no such thing happened (this conveniently happened as soon as we had paid off the drinks tab.)

There is a massive problem with flies and the staff spray fly killer all over glasses which are then used. The female manager can be heard slagging off customers, staff and owners. Theres rat traps everywhere, including kitchen. The food is far from worth anything like what they charge.

Went to walk in on my own last night. (Saturday). Bouncer stopped me in my tracks. He said I needed to “show him why i should let you in”. I said “ok, why?”. He then told me to leave because I challenged him!! I was very bemused and then he said he was intimidated because I wouldn’t leave! I was on my own, I’m about 5ft 7 and couldn’t intimidate a small a child! Your man has a lot to learn. I’d been out for about 2 hours and even if I tried I couldn’t get drunk enough to not get let in. Bouncer clearly had something up him because I saw him arguing with a customer already inside when I went back past (after getting served in the next pub along with no problems). I will never ever come back for as long as that’s your door policy.

How disorganised and disappointing! The whole evening was a complete shambles. I appreciate we were a large party but surely the ‘chef’ has some experience in getting meals to arrive more or less at the same time? Not quite sure why two identical orders arrived 45 mins apart! And when the meals did eventually make their labyrinthine way to the table they were nothing special - just bog standard pub grub. Whatever happened to the jambalaya? I believe the new owners weren’t impressed by the previous menu, so I assume changing the menu to pizzas and burgers offered better margins. Not sure you made much profit from us though. Don’t think we’ll be back and since the change of menu I’d suggest others avoid if there’s more than a couple of you in your party.

We booked a meal for 15 on the Friday before Christamas. They promised on three occasions to send a menu by e-mail ( never came). the pub was feted in the Times for its Louisiana food and real ale. Did not know before we arrrived they had got rid of that bit of the menu.Now majoring in Pizza. We went last year for Christmas, good meal , good food lots of vegeatrian chouice. This year....Oh dear. Peel and Stone have taken over, Our server Jamel was very apologetic about the wait , the service and how slow the kitchen was - an hour between the first person getting their meal and the last. we ordered garlic bread- baked in the oven to nibble on as we chatted - it came at teh end of the meal! One of our party walked out in disgust.,When we arrived the Evearards Tiger ale was off, we were all drinking Sunchaser - guess what it ran out no more of either the cellar ( do they know its Christmas and people drink- 15 boikes do not want cocktails) Supervisor Clare was also very apologetic and reduced the bill but.the oub is not what it used to be.

He estado aquí un par de veces recientemente, así que decidí probar la comida antes de un espectáculo en el teatro Blue & Orange, que está al otro lado de la calle. La Iglesia sin duda ha sido arreglada, es genial ver que mantiene su diseño de múltiples habitaciones. También hay una hermosa terraza en la azotea, y un restaurante en la parte de atrás, que no parece ser usado a menudo. Esto es una pena, ya que una de mis pocas críticas aquí es que las mesas de los pubs pueden ser un poco pequeñas cuando tienes un par de pizzas grandes en ellas. Reservamos en línea a través de una mesa abierta, hay 2 menús uno exclusivamente para pizza, el otro tiene cosas de "comida del alma" como costillas. Ambos nos decidimos por la pizza, Deb por un "padrino" fue interesante con el orégano agregado. Mi pizza era más de un banquete de carne. Ambos eran de buen tamaño, sabrosos y tenían una bonita corteza delgada. Hay 2 palos de mano que sirven cerveza de Everards (en condiciones razonables) y 2 sidras de barril. Otras bebidas están disponibles, no probamos los cócteles. Con 22 pizzas y 2 pintas, esta es una excelente comida con una excelente relación calidad-precio. La iglesia es un buen pub con una clientela mixta agradable y un personal agradable y eficiente, que vale la pena visitar si está al borde del barrio de joyería.

Visited here a few times and recently thought to try it again after the refurb. Unfortunately the old menu is not longer being served (even though it's still on their Facebook page), which contained the excellent jambalaya and ribs which for me was the attraction of the place. Pizza was ok, the base was quite soggy in the centre and not that great value anymore. Unfortunately there are better establishments in Birmingham if you want a pizza.

I've been to the church several times but my favourite event is the thanks giving dinner where the food is like home made and lots of it so real good value for money. The live music is spot on and service great. I'm watching out for any other similar events to come up.'

We had lunch at The Church today. It is an unusual menu, which makes it all the better - there's not enough of this kind of thing in Birmingham! I have to say, everything was very fresh and tasty. I went for the Sausage Gumbo, £10, which was delicious. My friend went for the Backyard Burger, £12. Drinks were plentiful and there is an excellent cocktail menu, although we didn't try it as we had to leave. Thank you!

We ended up in The Church due to overcrowding at our original destination. Well, I think this place will be our first choice next time! Excellent food, we were surprised at the portion sizes, the ‘small bites’ were the size of a main in some places. Lots of vegan options too. A great drink selection and the staff were lovely. Thank you for rescuing our evening and see you again soon.

Great pub with a wide selection of beers and cocktails. Lively venue of a night, especially at weekends when the back bar opens up. Ideal spot in the summer with the roof terrace. Food is nice also! Check it out

Reservé el Snug pasamos una noche con los amigos. Era un espacio perfecto para una reunión de 10 personas. Las bebidas eran fantásticas y el personal era genial y muy atento, incluso cuando estaba muy ocupado. No comimos, pero ojalá que no como la comida desde la cocina parecía increíble, no había nada de sobras en las mesas me di cuenta.

I've been here to eat, to drink, to dance, to chill and in all those areas never have I been less than satisfied. The staff have always delivered with professionalism and friendliness; the food prepared fresh and full of unique flavours; neat drinks and cocktails with a variety of quality beers; the music full of soul carefully matched to the theme of the pub resulting in a lovely overall atmosphere. Just! Go!

Went to the church with 3 friends for lunch on Saturday. Not the first time, and yet again had a lovely home made meal in a friendly atmosphere and professional service. Between us we tried jambalaya, Mac&cheese;, nachos, winter salad and the vegan burger. We felt looked after and enjoyed the experience. You can feel the difference when people care are passionate about what they do.

I wish I could visit more often. Great selection of beers and cocktails and regularly changing menu for food. Their burgers are more than enough to fill you up. The Gumbos remind me of something my nan used to cook. They had a sundae dessert which was a real treat as well.

Here on a overnight trip and had no idea where to go as not from this area. Stumbled across this diamond in the rough and so glad we did. Made to feel welcome straight away. Clean place with soulful music then the food came out. Fantastic does not come close. Ample portions reasonable price and tastes great. If your in the area try it out. You won't be disappointed

Terrible service staff were uninterested and firstly got our drink order wrong. Had to wait 30 mins before the first meal came out and then a further 20 mins before the 2nd meal which was sent back as the fried egg was raw. The manager didn't even apologise and it seemed too much trouble to take back. Also no cutlery given and was told rudely that we had to get our own from the side of the coffee machine. Totally unacceptable service and will not be going back again.

Rude rude rude customer service, male staff have an attitude and make sarcastic comments. If you want polite service go elsewhere. One member of staff waited for me to finish my drink so he could collect my glass… very weird service

So many choices! I wanted to try everything on the bakery menu, and the coffee was great. The brunch menu, however, was just alright—pretty simple and common, nothing extraordinary. My first impression was mixed. What really stood out was the need for better customer and table management. I’ve never seen such inefficient table allocation. Despite several empty two-person tables, they directed us to a long table meant for eight people, which we had to share with others. Most concerning, though, was the feeling that the staff were not very welcoming toward Asian customers. It’s an impression that left me uncomfortable and disappointed. Finally, they also charged service fee. I realised after I paid it. HAHA.
