Booked a table for 2 asking for a quiet, cosy area. Shown to a table in the large orangery, when mentioned I was made to feel that I was in the wrong. Shown to a table in the study. Old dirty carpet and no view apart from the reception desk. In looking around every table for 2 is up against a wall. Service was professional but sadly missing the human touch. The food however was lovely. Good menu and all the food looked delicious. Wine list is disappointing for a restaurant. Would i go back, possibly but couldn’t see us having a long leisurely meal over a few drinks.

Went for my partners birthday we all had 2 courses,we all 4 of us tried the street boxes for mains which were delicious,moving on to desserts I had sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream ice cream this was fantastic,my partner had corn flake tart with pink custard which was lovely,we has drinks in bar before hand and another round so paid around £135 altogether,what was disappointing I was charged £1 for extra pink custard,not the cost obviously but the principle.

We were visiting friends who booked here for our evening meal, wow. The food was exceptional, my husband ordered the liver which he thought was a little tough, but everyone else’s meals were wonderful. The staff were very friendly, especially Rihanna who looked after us. The decor was lovely and the outside seating area is very pretty when lit up at night. We thought it was good value for money, and would definitely return when visiting our friends again.

We have been regular diners at The Devonshire, mainly for Sunday lunch for over 7 years. We attended again on 14 April and once again the food and the whole experience was first class. Superb decor & ambience, the restaurant was superbly managed by Rachel and her team. Most of all, as always, beautiful, well presented food.

Visited today for Sunday lunch which was excellent. We have made many visits over the last couple of years sampling the main menu also. So many favourites it's sometimes difficult to choose from such a varied menu. This place always has a lovely ambience and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. We are always made to feel very welcome and are never disappointed with the quality of the food. Team Dev, you are the best!!

Not had Sunday lunch from the Devonshire for quite a few years, we went yesterday for Easter Sunday and my Mum’s birthday. We had such a lovely meal, the starters were all so tasty. Think we all went for the turkey and pigs and blankets on the side, we all so enjoyed it. The gravy is gorgeous, the meat was perfect. We were all stuffed until they told us the cream egg skillet was on the specials! I had my 18 month old and she was walking around and sometimes you can feel a bit in the way but the staff were all lovely. There was a lovely atmosphere as it wasn’t too busy but busy enough to add a nice feel. The staff were all professional and friendly. We will be back soon. Thank you team Devonshire, a really lovely experience.

We had a family birthday meal there this week & the quality of food & service is outstanding. I’ll take my hat off to the chef, awesome.

We haven’t eaten out anywhere for a while, but we’ve been here a few times before and loved it. Came again for a Sunday roast, it was by far the best roast I’ve eaten in ages, absolutely delicious! I think I’ll eat beans on toast for 6 days a week so I can afford to come here every Sunday…..

I have always been a big fan of the devonshire for a lot of years, however disappointed in the last few times we have been, to the point of stating to my husband I will not be going anymore. I personally think they are cutting back one slice of meat when you used to get two. One bowl of vegetables between 6, so had to ask for more. My husband had calamari starter and he said is was rubbery which it has never been in the past, I had mushrooms and the portion size is half what it used to be. Service is extremely slow, its as if they don't know what they are doing. Our friend wanted a dessert when she told the waitress what she wanted she said I don't think we've got that. She then disappeared for another menu, which our friend looked at and decided what she wanted. And that was as far as it goes cause the waitress never came back to ask her what she wanted, so left after 20 minutes of waiting. There has obviously been a big change in management and staff, as we do not recognise anyone now. Big mistake Devonshire you need to look at what you are doing.

My husband and I visited yesterday with our son and daughter -in-law. I would struggle to find fault in all honesty. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere relaxed and inviting and the service prompt. There was plenty of choice on the menu and it ranged from more conventional pub food to loaded fries and burgers. I had the Cajun salmon, which was delicious and my son had to virtually dislocate his jaw to eat the Katsu chicken burger. The sticky toffee pudding was divine and if this dessert is your idea of a proper pudding it will not disappoint, I could have bathed in that sauce. I would also like to make a special point of thanking this establishment for its vegan menu. Unlike many places, there were several choices of starters, mains and desserts. The menu felt like some love and thought had gone into it, rather than just tokenism. This is not cheap pub grub but I consider the quality and portion sizes are definitely value for money compared to similar places I have eaten. We will definitely be returning and I would urge anyone considering this place to give it a try, you will not regret it!!

Just taken my wife for her birthday with our daughter as we love the Devonshire. But today wasn't up to their normal high standards. We ordered 3 Sunday roast beef dinners, which came out Lukewarm. We all had one slice of beef when asking the waiter how many slices of should there be his immediate response was 2 slices. The table next to us was complaining about the same issues. Lukewarm meal , 1 slice of beef, and the side veg was bordering raw. That's if it turned up. So, it's not the best of visits. the best part was the waiter " Mitchell"if I'm right. He was absolutely an asset to your business, very responsive and helpful, and listened to our complaint and the other tables. But he shone through it. He should be rewarded for his professionalism through a difficult situation. Which we did! Shame as it was my wife's birthday meal out.

Just had an evening meal here and couldn’t fault it. I had the liver and my partner had the belly pork, both excellent. Been a few times before and service is always very good, sat in the Orangery today and noticed the drink service was very fast so might be an idea to ask to be sat near the bar.

I asked for vegetableswith my steak and was served salad, this resulted in both meals having to be returned to the kitchen.The steak I had was fine but all the rest of the accompaniment's tasted very salty, the chips mushrooms and sauce where over the top for my liking, why not let the customer add salt if they require it, disappointed.

This of course says something about the Devonshire.All safety precautions are taken. The pleasant staff all wear masks. Hand sanitiser is given on entry and you get a little bottle on your table.Food was very well cooked and presented. Reasonably priced as well.Tried the famous cornflake cake with the pink custard. Huge piece of cake, could have done with more custard. Will definitely return.

After not eating out for 6 months was looking forward to Sunday lunch here. Was really happy with all the safety procedures in place but was very disappointed with the meal. A party of 4 we all had different meats and all were lovely however the accompaniments we could not eat. Hard roast potatoes and just really dry food.I did state that we were unhappy to the waitress when asked if everything was OK as plates were left unfinished but nothing further was said.As we had been here before mid week before Covid and loved it we were looking forward to this meal. Staff great, safety great but won't eat here again. Very disappointing first venture out.

We visited the Devonshire yesterday and so glad we did. We both had starters my partner had bre wedges and I had the haddock fish cake. Now the mains and by far the best bit- the blade of beef which we both had. All I can say is define. It was one of the best main courses we have ever had and the portion size was massive. So big we had to skip dessert. Having chosen the Devonshire for their famous cornflake tart and pink custard I had to have a take away. When getting home I could not believe the portion size. There was more than enough for us both and was my number 1 pudding ever.Thanks again for having us and thank you to all your amazing staff who were all so welcoming, friendly and immaculately presented. Well done we will be back . Ps loved the pickles cucumber on the starter..just like Grandma used to do!!

We have visited The Derbyshire on many occasions prior to lock down so thought we would give their takeaway service a try. I can't say enough how professional, safe and easy the experience was from phoning the order through to collection, and the people I spoke to were all very friendly and helpful. All aspects of social distancing and staying safe had been thought about. The food, as usual, was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and still hot when we got it home - compliments to the staff in the kitchen. We will definitely be using this service until we can visit the pub again. Thank you.

Nothing was too much trouble and the whole experience was delightful, the food was amazing. The staff are so helpful and courteous, professional and welcoming.

Location great, food good. What a shame the bill was hiding an unexpected surprise. A meal with 3 ex work colleagues on a weds evening. Booking online, was surprised this needed £5 per person deposit as it was a midweek booking and no special event. One friend was sadly I’ll s o couldn’t attend but 3 of us still occupied a 4 person table so unless there were any plans to place a random stranger with us, we hadn’t caused any problem for the restaurant. In fact there were very few people eating at the time.So imagine the surprise when the £20 deposit became a £15 deduction from the bill because the 4th person hadn’t turned up. That in itself was disappointing and in our opinion, mean. But even worse - had we booked by telephone we would not have had to pay a deposit at all and therefore wouldnt have been told we’d lost £5! The manager said it was too easy to book online and then not turn up. Which is why the restaurant introduced the need for a deposit. Surely just as easy to do the same by phone ! Sounds like digital discrimination to me. The manager did eventually refund our £5 but only after much discussion. Such a shame that our evening is now marked with a very bitter taste in the mouth,So, if you’re going to book in advance, make sure you do it by phone to avoid paying a deposit - which, by the way costs the restaurant more in terms of time spent dealing with the customer instead of them self serving online ! Really appreciate how no shows can impact the hospitality industry but the clue is in the word - hospitable! Not ☹️

Still great food and service. Four of us dined on Sat night. Even though they had a party of 30 in the service was still spot on. The food plentiful and fresh. My first pint of real ale was returned as it was sour,but it may have been the end of the barrel. It was quickly exchanged with plenty of apologies.

After a brief consultation with my daughter, it was decided that I could not score The Devonshire any less than 5 stars. It was the perfect family outing.

Visited here in January one Friday evening. Definitely one of my favourite places to eat in the area. The menu is the kind where its genuinely hard to pick just one thing to have, especially the appetisers. All food is ordered with the confidence of quality, taste and good presentation being served. The bar area is quite small and can get very busy but it does not spoil the experience. Staff are all nice and friendly, decor is stylish and fresh. We will be back soon.

Lovely meal for Valentine's Day the cornflake tart is a MUST with pink custard (reminds you of school days) only gripe my husband paid a lot for tonight's meal and the restaurant put a lot of effort in with balloons and red roses but you only got your table for 2 hours....I think paying these prices you should get your table for the evening

Fabulous meal once again. Smashing to see so many GF options that aren't just steak and boiled potatoes! With 3 of us it's nice to go somewhere nice to eat and not feel like a nuisance. Keeley looked after us exceptionally well all night. Just the right amount of chat and friendliness and always there before our drinks ran out! An asset to you. Please continue with your fab range for us coeliacs, and we'll continue to visit you.

We came last night and had the most amazing meal, prawn cocktail followed by haddock , home cooked fries and wither garden or mushy peas . The service was impeccable to say how busy it was and the food was amazing . Special praise to chef Charlie smith who I was told was on starters , the nicest prawn cocktail I’ve eaten anywhere . Would highly recommend here to anyone .

After all the lavish food over Xmas and New Year we returned to The Devonshire on Sunday 19 January. As always, a lovely bar area stocked with lovely cask ales. We sat at table 8 at 1.30. Served by lovely, efficient attentive staff. Wonderful food, beautifully cooked and presented. We shall be returning soon.

Having visited here previously five times we arranged to meet here with friends on Monday 6th as it is half way between them (North Yorkshire) and us Solihull. Once again we six all enjoyed our meals ( shame the new potatoes were not cooked enough and not tossed in butter with the quiche, but the steak and ale pies were excellent).

Overall very good food. We ate off the December menu and everyone was happy bar the person who had the pheasant which was chewy. Very large portions so go hungry before hand and the deserts are excellent. I find the chairs uncomfortable after a couple of hours though I do have a bad back. Overall we were happy and will go back. P.S. Hubbie loved the chips.
