The Dolphin In in Tamworth

For anyone hiring the function room be careful. If Paula is on shift just run she is rude and her attitude stinks. Tried to steal my belongings for something out of my control. Avoid at all costs.

If I could put minus stars I would… Rude staff, the gentleman was pleasant, he even called out “Paula” for her attitude towards us and allowed us out the side exit so we didn’t need to cross her path again.

Paula and David were really helpful holding our hands throughout for our three year olds birthday party. Zoe was on hand to help in the morning and was extremely welcoming and knowledgable. As for the room itself, it is spacious and the venue has a good sound system. It’s modernised so it wouldn’t look out of place in a fancy bar. We managed to fit in a medium sized bouncy castle and ball pit easily. We also had a face painter and packed the place out with balloons. It’s a real community asset and I can’t thank them enough. We are becoming semi regulars at the venue and will certainly be hosting our child’s birthday here next year. Thank you to all at The Dolphin

What a place. It’s a real family friendly pub and a proper good old English pub. The bar staff are incredibly friendly and will always give you a warm welcome. The regulars are lovely and are like a family. Little John who comes in is always there to help anybody and will never see you without financial tips - Tamworth’s version of Martin Lewis. Lisa and Michael are also a beautiful couple that will always leave you with a smile on your face and are experts on how to grow pampas grass outside of your front garden, they also have a great fishbowl at their front door, always worth a look. Deb’s and Chris are also a lovely couple, Chris’ sausage is always worth a bite, you’ll never experience anything like it. All in all, a visit in the dolphin is always worth it, and you will always be welcomed. Paula, Dave, Zoe, Rachael, and Katie should be proud of themselves for making the dolphin what it is now. It’s the greatest place in Tamworth and the universe

Paula and Dave are fantastic landlords. Zoe the barmaid always has a smile on her face and gives out free cheese strings to new customers, which was a lovely touch. There is a resident local in there called John I think, lovely fella, quite small. But if you tell him the secret word (you have to find this out) he buys you free beer for an hour!! Me and our friends had 2 double vodkas and 3 pints! Thanks John. If you ever visit Tamworth, go here, it's an amazing place, full of lovely people.

Me and partner moved to the area a year ago and we didn't know anybody - we've met some lovely, fantastic people and the bar staff are so welcoming - I even celebrated my 40th and it was the best night. I'm not even afraid to go on my own and have a quiet beverage - there's always someone their to chat to 😁 thanks Paula and Dave for making the dolphin safe and welcoming ❤️

We hired the function room for my daughter’s first birthday earlier this year. It’s such a lovely room with wonderful staff too. Would highly recommend for any parties or gatherings you may have. Dave and Paula always seem happy to accommodate for what you need. Thank you once again!

We are visitors to tamworth on the canal and we were very glad that we chose this pub to have a drink. The atmosphere in the bar was fabulous. Very welcoming and the drinks we had were perfect. It was also very clean

Nice place to go for a couple of beers, also can take my little Dog with me. Pleasant friendly bar staff. I now use pub regularly.👍

GREAT PUB! Unexpectedly in Tamworth googled pubs nearby and the Dolphin came up. Needed somewhere to watch Oxford United play in the off final as couldn't be at Wembley Called and left a message as no answer. I was called back very quickly by landlord. All the staff were brilliant and even met some other Oxford fans in there! Had a great time with the locals too. Will definitely visit every time we're in Tamworth and highly recommend. Massive thanks to you all. "UP THE YELLOWS"

Really welcoming pub, with a lively atmosphere. Very accommodating and welcoming to non locals. Will definitely visit again!!

Lovely old fashioned pub, with very friendly staff, customers, and a great atmosphere 😀 Will definitely be going again.

Desperately needed to use a toilet. Asked them if I can use theirs. It's not the fact that I offered to pay for the use that bothered me, it's the fact that I was requested to buy a drink in order to be able to use the toilet, and when I ordered a bottle of water, she looked at me in a really pitiful way! Darling, the need to use a toilet, tells you I need to have a vodka?

We had a family surprise 60th in the upstairs function room, about 35 of us including kids. From start to finish the owner or manager was rude and had the customer service skills of a disinterested gnat. She practically spoiled the surprise by locking the room a few minutes before the birthday boy was due to arrive due to staffing issues and told us in the most rude and inconsiderate way. Spent the time complaining about health and safety and despite us taking care to sort the room, kept the deposit because it apparently took 5 hours to clean it, and the small pieces of white tac pulled paint off the walks, requiring full repaint. Don't bother going. She needs a course in customercservice I'm afraid. We made the best of it but it created a lot of unneccesary stress and spoiled the general atmosphere. We won't be returning.

Walked in to friendly welcome and service. Lovely bar area with a separate room with pool table. As you walk down a corridor the entrance to the garden is there. Again well lit. Can't wait to go back

Decent beer, good pool table, and pleasant staff!

Nice little pub with great service and good prices

The Dolphin public house is now closed for the forceable future. Unfortunately due to disputes with those who run the dolphin, pint pot trading ltd. There was no alternative but for the assistant manager to quit with immediate affect, leaving the dolphin without staff. No idea when or even if it will re-open but for those customers we now call friends, we would like to appilogise for any inconvenience caused & thank you from the bottom of our hearts for becoming our friends. We hope to see you somewhere soon Love & best wishes Chris,Mina,Katie, Connor & Zoe.

4 of us popped in for a quick drink on the way past, we've often wondered what it was like in there .... we were plesently surprised, great staff and a warm welcome from the regulars.

This pub is closed, awaiting a new tenant

Closed for a refit. Not expected to reopen till the new year, 2022

Great little pub, friendly staff and punters alike. Great atmosphere, definitely would recommend it.

Very friendly family run pub, great if you want a game of darts

It's boring no amphosere never got the drink u ask for advertising food outside and they don't do food and basically if u fancy a nap in the corner it's the place to go a dump now.

Typical local boozer, friendly, decent pint and sky sports happy days

Great place and great people very Friendly

The best pub in glascote you can go too!! Very friendly and great atmosphere especially when they have a Caribbean day!!

Used the dolphin for 50 years alwaus found it a friendly pub Bob the boss is spot on couldn't ask for better give it a try what have you got to lose

It's a nice little pub staff are so friendly not sure if they do food

Nice friendly pub, always a good pint of Carling in a chilled glass

Bob is the new owner he has done a great job to create a friendly atmosphere which is pet friendly too :-)

Good friendly pub with nice selection of beers

Can't really speak for the food as I haven't eaten there in years now, but overall a smashing little pub for those looking for a couple of casual pints during the day or a chilled evening out. Can get quite busy of an evening and especially the weekend, but the staff and those who visit are friendly enough, just say hello and I'm sure they'll be happy to strike up a conversation with you. A dartboard can be found next to the bar, although be warned this is in kind of an awkward place as it's right next to the corridor leading to the toilets and small beer garden, so if you fancy a game during a busy period be prepared to give way to those wishing to use either of these!

It's OK nice people foods great

The beer is very nice and the staff are friendly

Nice little pub. Good function room. Just no parking in its location

VERY friendly made to feel at home

We love it here its a great place to meet up with all our friends 😊
