The Crown in Birmingham

Recently visited the pub and had a superb time. This was mainly due to the friendly and helpful staff, especially young James. He had great information about the food available and an extensive knowledge of all the drinks they served. You don't see it very often now but his happy smiling face was a pleasure to see and made our night.

Pub is relatively good although the need for some upholstering on certain seats is overdue. The food was average. The main concern is the miserable person

Good selection of food, only go midday with colleagues but it is worth a visit.

Went yesterday for a few drinks and meal,the food was lovely and the service by the young man was great,he was very pleasant and polite ,thank you

Lovely pub!. Great Food!. Served by a very pleasant guy called James. Could not fault the service or the food!. Thankyou.

Two of bar staff both called Daisy always smile polite and good at their job

Popped in for a coffee with my mum, the atmosphere was lovely and full of families popping in for their Sunday lunch. Fire places were lit and keeping the pub lovely and warm. Staff were welcoming and polite and served us with a smile

Excellent food, served in a timely manner by friendly and efficient staff

The staff are great, food is amazing

The staff are really friendly and it's a very nice environment to be in. The food is good and reasonably priced, a place we keep going back to.

I recently visited here and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentively. My meal was perfectly cooked, and the dessert was a real treat. Overall, a great pub with delicious food, good prices and amazing service. Highly recommend!

Heard the Crown was finally coming back to its best so we gave it a try - hot, good value, food and a great selection of drinks. Staff attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely food and excellent service. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff led by Vic.

Staff were friendly food and drinks were grea

I have recently visited here and the meal we had was fabulous and the services we had was amazing nothing was to much bother

We visit regularly and it’s always great pub food, fabulous service and lovely atmosphere.

We attend the quiz regularly on a Wednesday night, and we are always very happy with the service we receive, it seems to have improved, however, over the last few weeks which is great for us. I also pop in from time to time for a drink and the staff are always happy and friendly, just what you want from your local pub.

I have been several times here. Nice pub and nice atmosphere except every time I visit there are people vaping indoors. Sneakily, yes, but quite obvious with the plumes of smoke coming from under their armpits. Please deal with vapers who are secretly breaking the law in your pub!

Popped for a quick dinner one Thursday night. Had a great meal with my iPad for company. The Hunter’s Chicken Schnitzel was hot and perfectly cooked. Side salad was fresh and lightly dressed. Chips were crisp and soft inside. Team on shift were everything they should be. Will definitely be back; it’s great to see the Crown back to its best and heard a refurb is on the cards this year too.

Came in for quiz night and received great service from both Daisy’s behind the bar. Always a welcoming atmosphere and great food.

Came here on a Friday with a friend who lives nearby. My eyes caught the sign for 2 course £9.99 lunch so we thought - well rude not to! I have to say this was far and away one of the best 2 course lunches either of us have had in terms of both the food (quality and portion) and the service of the staff. Very impressed, I have told various friends so we'll be taking a trip over too! 5 Stars all round.

Wonderful really nice lots of food on plate very well presented and good staff doing really nice job.Just what we need.

Great venue and friendly team. Really nice local pub in Four Oaks with fantastic cask ales on tap and lovely warm open fires!

Great pub and team. Excellent value for money and food and drinks spot on

I'm afraid to say the food was quite poor, and to top it off several members of our party of 16 people were ill the next day. Its safe to say we won't be back.

Standard pub and standard drinks. Good location though.

Had a wake here. The managers Kieran was very helpful and the bar staff very friendly and polite. Great value for money and the food was lovely.

I think the service is exemplary and Daisy really looked after us. Only thing is I think ember inns needs to invest in this pub as it use to be a flagship site that would compete with its current competitors. Lager choices and prices also need to be reviewed.

Came to the crown I thought the service was brilliant. Aimee behind the bar was really welcoming as always, always a pleasure to come in.

It's a great pub with a good selection of drinks and a wide range of affordable food well cooked, all served with a smile and in a vibrant atmosphere.

Great private party with plenty of varied tasty buffet

Really enjoyed the meal and atmosphere thank you

Beef was tender in the signature pie and mash was free of lumps. The open fires create a nice atmosphere especially on a freezing day. Get the app for an even more pleasing experience.

Have come here multiple times now with family and on my own, have always found a welcoming, homely atmosphere. Staff have always been friendly and happy to help. The food has never failed to disappoint either, highly recommended.

Lovely place, the staff are friendly and ready to help. Food I'd gorgeous. I had the special of chicken and leak pie. The pie was actually a real pie with a pastry bottom and packed with big chunks of chicken. With a 50% discount this week on food to you can't get better. Going back on Thursday for steak night!

Regular visitors. Never disappointed

Had a lovely night out with my wife as treat for ourselves starters where lovely and. The steaks where cooked just how we like them. Few games of backgammon in nice soundings . Open fire. And good value as there was a 50 % off mains

A nice welcome plus good quality food & drink .food served in good time

I’m bugged by this - asked for a large white wine - got charged for a large - they put two large ice cubes in the filled to the 250 Mark - I realised but let it go the first time - 2nd time called them out and they apologised and put the correct measure in - the guy was free pouring - very annoying

Came for our sons birthday meal with family. Great service, food was great. Lovely pub with lovely polite staff. Will definitely come again.

We dined here for Christmas lunch. Staff were fantastic, friendly and attentive the whole time. The tables were decorated beautifully as to was the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed the food all three courses were presented beautifully and tasted amazing! Credit to the staff for making a joyous day of Christmas for us.

Christmas lunch. Food, drinks, staff and atmosphere great. Prices reasonable. Can’t say more than that. Go once a week and will continue to do so.

Credit to the bar staff for dealing with a really busy night. They were exceptional. Great live act too. Will definitely be back, live music or not. Superb.

Nicky who served us was fantastic

My daily haunt, love the staff and always great service. Always feel very looked after in here- spacious and welcoming pub

Asked for my steak medium. It was the most burnt chargrilled steak I've have seen. Worse steak I've ever had and about 10 chips. This was 15 pound as well. Had a under 6 year old meal came with chips, chicken nuggets and beans. However there were next to no beans. They served the beans in a tiny sauce pot. Not much of a portion for a under 6 year old. Paid for pudding and it was just 2 tiny ice cream scoops. My toddler finished it super quick. God help an older child. Just expensive poor food for small portions. Maybe get smaller plates so it doesn't look so sparse. Lovely pub nice drinks just poor food. Didn't complain prob should have. But too polite and I was with local family so I didn't want to cause a fuss.

Regular haunt good booze and staff

Food was excellent. Service and attitude of staff was similarly excellent.

Really enjoyed our annual Christmas meal here the staff really looked after us and the food was fantastic, have bought tickets for New Years Eve aswell!

Food was tasty, hot and good quality. Staff friendly and helpful. Clean toilets. Lots of choice of food, pud and beverages.

Tasty, hot food and service with a smile!

Had an enjoyable lunch that was good value

Large Ember Inns pub with better than usually cooked good, and a couple of ales. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Popped in today for a drink on way home Come here on a regular basis, can't fault service, food etc. What really gets me is that the obscene language by the builders who come in for a well earned pint usually close to the bar. We had to sit at the back so didn't hear the effing and blinding. PLEASE can you put a sign up about lthe language it's not as if it's done quietly especially when children are in. Are you that desperate for trade, I was in the building trade and I can swear with the best of them Are you scared to tell them 🤔

Love the old tradition log fire 🔥 really nice seating area with good atmosphere food really good its definitely worth the money

Came to complete work on the roof today... Arron was the Manager, Very professional and accommodating The kitchen staff I've seen a few times... Nice bunch of blokes and the food being prepared looked to notch Well worth a visit 😎

Excellent service from Mel and Aaron, food was good quality and value for money. Love coming here with family as we always receive a warm welcome.

Reasonable food that you had to order at the bar. Staff friendly for a Saturday night in a pub that wasn't particularly busy.

Staff were lovely, However food was appalling. Chicken Sunday roasts had potatoes that were too tough to eat, definitely not roasted, but solid! Veg had passed briefly through hot water, also inedible. Chicken was ok, as was Yorkshire, but we both left everything else on the plate. Needless to say, don’t recommend the food at all, but as previously said, drinks were fine, and staff were lovely

As a family we very regularly come to eat at the Crown with my mum who is in her 90’s. She is having some hard times and absolutely loves coming to the Crown with the family. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and efficient (Thankyou). She enjoys the small meals and we all eat well. Thankyou for such a positive welcoming inclusive atmosphere.

The staff Brandon and Mel where really helpful and had really good service,the food was great my 4 year old daughter loved it,John was chef and food was good

Great service and even better food and wine, had a girls night here for a light meal and wine Mel,Aimee and Brandon were so attentive and polite, and John served the best open steak sandwiches will definitely be here again!

Friday night and one poor guy serving on his own come Ember Inns employ more staff it’s a joke it’s obvious if you employ more staff you sell more and make more money ?

Great Sunday meal. Food was delicious and staff were helpful and very attentive. Will definitely return and recommend.

Except atmosphere and value for money. A great local pub.

Lovely atmosphere and food definitely recommend especially the lasagne or fish and chips

We both had Haddock and Chips which was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. The only area for improvement was in the size of the portion of mushy peas.

Great experience lovely atmosphere with the candles lit. Food was nice, especially the chicken wrap, and will 100% be returning soon!

Came here for a family meal. When ordering we asked for chilli sauce instead of gravy sauce in the burger. The lady at the bar said that’s fine. When the food arrived, there was gravy sauce in the burger, when questioned about this the waitress said that the chef refused to do it, when we were told that it was possible when ordering. When the chicken hunters schnitzel came it was burnt and clearly had been sat under the heat for a while. The service was appalling and the lady serving had no manners and didn’t even apologise for the issues with the food. Would not recommend to eat here. 100% avoid. Maybe for a drink that’s about it.

Did not eat there, about 15 people in the pub, not much going on

We came in for food and drinks before the football on Saturday. The Guinness was a great pint. We had the wings, garlic bread and crispy chicken sandwich - all of which tasted really fresh, came out quickly and was great value. The service from Ollie was brilliant. We’ll definitely be back

Nice atmosphere unfortunately the food was warm, vegetables hard and about a 40 minute wait for dessert when it wasn’t particularly busy

The food is great and the service is excellent would definitely recommend the Sunday roast will be back soon with friends

Fabulous pub! Very friendly staff. Great food 👍 Will definitely be taking friends here. Nikki the manager was great and really helpful.

A firm favourite for many years. Good drinks and beer. Shame it's not as busy as it used to be. Food is what you expect for Ember Inn and the price range. A good local, would like to see more people use it.

Nice pub pleasant surroundings, very quiet for a Thursday afternoon. Reasonably priced menu. Will definitely return🙂!!

Great night as always, Shaun is always welcoming and he and his team are really friendly and hardworking. The Crown has improved massively in the last 6 months, tables are cleared and cleaned, staff are polite and happy to serve customers. Shaun has been the first manager in a long time to give the pub stability and reinforce customer service. Would be nice if the place could get a face lift as it is a little tired and has not had any improvements in a very long time unlike most other local establishments.

Friendly staff,had a slight problem with food order manager couldn’t be more helpful

Great place to meet up with your friends! From the staff to the manager you honestly can't find fault! Only downside is the decor which needs a touch up

Sunday Lunch invite from friends so it's hard to really be completely critical, but four lunches slightly warm was not a good start, put that with vegetables dipped in and out of water, and three small potatoes that were certainly not home cooked. Why did we not complain, when friends invite you out it's a case of being polite.

New and updated menu is great... food arrived with a smile. The meal was exceptional and the atmosphere is always welcoming. The gaffa is a credit to rhe establishment ...

Shaun the manager is fantastic and he runs a really good team behind the bar the atmosphere is brilliant and nice to see such a dog friendly pub!

Sean and his team did a buffet for us to take to an event at the national arboretum, and wow, what a delicious buffet it was. A very good variety of sandwiches, and other snacks. Highly recommended

Perfect evening, staff and food are amazing

Our party of 10, some with disabilities enjoyed a great meal here yesterday. We had starters mains and plenty of drinks and the total bill was very reasonable. All of our food was very good with one small exception. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant and our meals and drinks arrived soon and all together which was great.

Good service Hot food Good price

Went for the pub quiz night, absolutely brilliant even if our answers weren’t haha, lovely atmosphere and the bartenders and waitresses were lovely and really welcoming. Would recommend!!

Menu had changed ...orders came with things on we asked to not be on ...ordered drinks on the app took a trip to the bar to ask where they where after 15 mins ....when the drink came it was slammed on the table...no apology ....not a great visit ....New menu not great either .....

Everybody was very friendly, especially Shaun and Kerrie. Food was fantastic and the atmosphere was fantastic

Had a lovely family night at the The Crown. Four of us ate and we each had a very good meal considering the price. The fish and chips were particularly good whilst the veggie curry option was tasty and filling. Very nice staff and the beer was good, too. Wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it was. Hats off to the staff!

We are her from Australia, fantastic menu and service Thank you

Had a lovely dinner at the crown, big choice of food on the menu and the food was great, staff really friendly and welcoming , Veggie and vegan options .
