The Courtyard Cafe in Sandwell

Glad to see that this café has now re-opened. The lady in charge is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I had a really nice Chicken Tikka sandwich with a mint sauce, side salad and crisps whilst the two ladies that I was with had toast and jam and a tea cake with jam and both were very impressed. This café isn’t like some others where you get the merest scrape of butter; these were properly buttered and with a small jar of nice strawberry jab. The two coffees and one tea were also excellent. Nice comfortable chairs too. I would strongly recommend this café to anyone visiting the Crematorium.

Beautiful food very relaxing atmosphere

Friendly staff and great food. Will definitely recommend

Waited over half hour for 2 breakfasts whilst other people who ordered after us got served. Had to chase 3 times. Appalling service. The wait staff have no idea what they are doing, no organisation at all, constantly delivering wrong meals to tables, or not delivering at all. Gave 2 stars due to the quality of food being O.K otherwise zero stars

As always a pleasure to visit lovely and friendly welcome and always clean and tidy. Had a lovely hot chocolate and a tea cake delicious just what I needed thank you.

Lovely cream tea with a freshly baked scone that was still deliciously warm!

Nice cosy cafe, good for when visiting crem. Very friendly staff. Food and drink reasonably priced.

Lovely place for a coffee and snack when visiting the crem. Friendly staff too.

Very impressed. Delicious food - especially the cake! Staff were very helpful and understanding with COVID precautions

We chose to have my Dad's wake at the cafe as he and I often went here after visiting my mum's memorial. A cup of tea would more often than not turn into lunch - I can recommend the sausage sandwiches! Organising the day couldn't have been any easier. Sharon responded to my many questions extremely promptly and with all the information I needed. On the day, Teresa and Chris did a wonderful job keeping us all topped up with drinks, which was needed due to the heat! As it was sunny, we were fortunate to be outside in the courtyard which was a lovely setting. The food was great with everyone enjoying it with particular compliments on the cakes! They have adapted well to the covid restrictions with individually served plates rather than the traditional buffet style, which I know put some guests mind at rest. The whole team where lovely, polite and thoughtful and did my Dad proud! I would not hesitate to recommend this cafe, be it for a wake, lunch or just a cuppa.

Thanks to the lovely ladies who work at this little cafe we were able to give my father in law a decent send off. Due to Covid restrictions we were at a loss as to what to do after the service. This lovely place catered for 30 of us with tea, coffee and food. The ladies were attentive, friendly and put the whole family at ease. Thank you so much on behalf of all of us.

It was clean staff were friendly and helpful. The food was very nice and hot cup of tea was very welcome. Covid safe.

Could not go in due to coronavirus

A delightful place to have a small wake. The food was excellently prepared and the staff were absolutely lovely. The price was very reasonable.

We chose this cafe after a single visit for a family get together after my Father’s Cremation Service. It’s a lovely Cafe. Immaculately kept and the staff are kind and helpful. They put on a superb spread of food and drinks for a very reasonable price. I couldn’t speak to highly of the place or the staff.

Lovely staff and friendly service great food and prices

Pleasant friendly lady serving, nice coffee and teacakes

Always nice to have a snack and a cuppa after visiting my parents grave.

Good food, decent price, and friendly staff.

We were going to the crem 2 take arrangements of flowers because our mom past over 7yrs ago 2morrow. We visited this cafe 2day because it was raining and we thought it would stop by the time we'd had a cuppa. There was 4 of us we all had a hot drink. 2 of us had toasted tea cakes and 2 had bacon aand tomato sandwiches. We all really enjoyed what we had. The gentleman that served us was very pleasant. And came and held the door open 4 us as we were leaving. Very helpful gentleman. The cafe is small but there is a courtyard outside with seating. In nice weather. There is a toilet in there. The prices were very reasonable. This cafe is in the crem. So if like us you are paying ur respects 2 a loved one. You could go and have a nice cuppa or cool drink and something 2 eat before you go home. I would definitely recommend going in this cafe. Its lovely. Some folk may not even now its in the crem. Its right by the office. Defo go and try it.

Great cafe go there a lot staff really friendly

Lovely breakfast for a great price too! Everything very well priced and staff really friendly and helpful!

Well went for afternoon but apprehensive of it being at the crem, but couldn’t be more wrong. Table was set beautifully for when we walked in. The Staff where superb, attentive,talkative, and very pleasant!!! The place was spotless, they do more than cream tea, breakfasts, light lunches, cottage pies, panini’s etc Cream tea as you can see by pics was absolutely fab, Buck’s Fizz/or orange juice offered as soon as we sat, pot of tea or coffee or both of required, cane to ask if sandwiches were ok, salad, crisps and cakes were also on offer. Staff couldn’t do enough, asking if we required more tea or another glass of OJ or Buck’s Fizz. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!!! Superb little cafe

Went in this cafe for the first time had 2 breakfasts which was delicious and presented well had to coffees it was fantastic .We been in know 4 times everytime been great food . Tearsa was very pleasant and helpful she a great member of your team everyone likes her and say what lovely manners she got keep up the good work.

Lovely building. Delicious food.

Whilst visiting sandwell valley crematorium taking flowers to a memorial stone I popped into the courtyard cafe for a cup of tea and as always very pleased with the service at the courtyard cafe. Well Done an Thanks to the Staff At the courtyard cafe

It might sound like a strange place to pop in for a drink & something to eat but they really are nice people here and it's a peaceful setting to relax and ponder. We only dropped in to lay flowers for my mother's birthday but although overcast, it was a fine day.

They do funeral catering as well as normal café facilities. Being unable to book the main on site venue I turned to the café and I'm so glad I did. At 10am a big room meal would have been inappropriate and being able to sit outside in the Courtyard Cafe's immaculate courtyard with fresh teas and coffees, so delicious home made cakes and bottles of water on hand was wonderful. My family happily looked at old photos and reminisced while eating and drinking with absolutely no 'hurry ups' whatsoever. The waitress came and did refills and handed round cakes, but we could get whatever we wanted and the cakes were LOVELY. Thank you, Sharon, and your team for taking the stress out of the after funeral for me and your costs were incredibly low compared to what it would have cost in the main venue, although obviously I would have happily paid that. I preferred the café setting, everyone was happy, thank you all.

I eat here reguarlay, food is great and there is an excellent customer service and a general peaceful atmosphere.

Nice little cafe with limited light bite menu, cakes and drink. If visiting Crematorium worth a visit. Staff friendly and good service and prices very reasonable.

Whilst visiting sandwell valley crematorium I popped into the courtyard cafe just behind the main office and was very impressed. First class customer service and excellent food & drinks. Would very much recommend any one visiting sandwell valley crematorium to check out the courtyard cafe even if it's just for a cup of tea. I can ensure you that you will be very presently surprised and want to return . Well done courtyard cafe keep up the good work 👍👍

Wouldn't think of going to a crem to eat but have been going weekly with friends. Don't expect exotic cuisine what you get is good food cheap. Example 2 x corned beef hash (homemade) fresh salad and a large latte under a tenner. Went at Christmas for festive meal best one I had over Christmas. Afternoon teas are good

Lovely cafe with lovely staff very polite and helpfull. The food is wonderfull and very good value for money. Service was great too.

We are regular customers to the Cafe in Sandwell Valley. It is clean and welcoming and we enjoy the food especially the cheese and potato pie with the best fresh side salad we have ever eaten. The staff are very obliging and we are looking forward to their special Christmas Lunch. Highly recommended for a snack that satisfies.

myself and mom had cheese and potato pie with side salad. it was well presented to us very nice . the café is very clean. management and staff very obliging and very helpful.

Cafe está bien, buena relación calidad-precio, limpio y fresco pero el café era insípido, era tan débil! Té era. servicio amable que no está mal.

Met up with an auntie and a cousin here to take another look at Mom's funeral flowers and decided to have a cup of tea. The menu looked really nice and auntie and cousin decided on the ploughmans lunch. And it looked lovely, they both...

we had a buffe done by Sharon at court yard café and its wasn't very good at all for the money and we were very disappointed by it so the café may be good but wont b using them again

This place is a little gem and excellent value for money. Visited the day after my Nan's funeral with my parents. Staff are very friendly and service was spot on. I highly recommend the Ploughman's Lunch.

I booked the Courtyard Cafe at Sandwell Crematorium for a small family wake following my fathers funeral. The owner made the booking experience very easy, the food was nice quality and plentiful and we were given the opportunity to relax and celebrate my dad's life in a small annex room which was perfect for our needs. Highly recommended.

We used this as the venue for a post-funeral wake. It's not somewhere you would chance upon, but it is open to the public and offers good quality cakes, sandwiches and drinks - better than your typical cafe food. Service is friendly, and the unusual location (it's where the old Crematorium was) is certainly a talking point (and it's lovely and peaceful). The owner was very helpful and accommodating when we were organising the wake, so if you need somewhere for such an event I would not hesitate to recommend it. The cafe has a top hygiene rating, and the whole place is clean and neat. Deserves to do well, it's not your average cafe and is in a lovely spot.
