The Farm in Solihull

Great atmosphere in the busy restaurant and our table of ten were quickly seated. Drinks flowed thanks to a brilliant team who looked after us all night. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My potted crab starter was delicious followed by an excellent sea bass dish. Highly recommended.

Amazing place. Top class food, service and atmosphere Very highly recommended, 11/10 14 + of us go every year. Thanks..

We had afternoon teas with my 91 year old mum and we were looked after very well by BING.We ensured all was well with us.

Lovely restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere The food was delicious with fast service and polite staff.

Had a lovely early evening meal & stayed in the lively bar for a drink before leaving.

Absolutely fantastic meal, very high quality food definitely recommend the ribs. Thanks for a great evening

Decent tidy pub...not been there for a while but the service is as good as ever

Lovely place for lunch great food and friendly staff well done guys 👌

Difficult to put the right stars on this, food, service, atmosphere were all 5 star. However!!! I work for Nat geo and so I’m incredibly aware of food sources and I try to educate as much as I can. I approached the “head waitress” to ask if the head chef was working and she said yes. I asked if I was able to have 2 mins with him regarding an item on their menu. She told me he wasn’t available…. Without even checking! I explained I’d like to educate him on Faroe Island Salmon which was on the menu. Sourcing where the food you are serving should be incredibly important. I was explicitly told the chef is aware of his choices. If you google farrow island dolphins to would see how barbaric this island is towards the ocean and every conscious decision to not support them should be made.

They have multiple rooms, the main restaurant is quite limited, and bookings are highly recommended it. There is plenty of parking across the street. The staff is friendly and helpful. Foodwise, this is a pub, not a fancy restaurant. Some dishes are ok, some dishes are good. The pizza was quite interesting and I recommend you try it. The burger was quite dry, the meat was a bit burned and dry, having a bit of burnt bitter taste, but overall ok. I recommend you to tell them to be careful not to burn it. Beautiful design, nice atmosphere. I recommend it.

Family Gathering for an 18th Birthday. The marquee was perfect for the size of the party. Staff were brilliant and didn't hear any complaints regarding the food.

Celebrated my 70th Birthday at The Farm today.We were a large group of 16 from all over the country but the service and food was exemplary I would certainly recommend this venue for family events.It was refreshing to see no service charge or additions to the bill.A shout out to all our waiting staff today who were great!The Farm definitely warrents its alround 5 star review!

Mid week dinner for 6. Service good but couldn't prepare a dish without chilli which was very disappointing

Lovely meal here this evening - fish and chips were most excellent and service spot on.

Nice place. First we sat in the bar area in the other building. It was cosy and quiet there. We then went to the restaurant building and grabbed a lovely lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Absolutely fantastic place, it was my sister's 40th birthday, there was 9 of us dining and it was great, food and drink was excellent , great friendly staff lovely atmosphere highly recommended 10/10

First time visit with family for a 40th Birthday celebration.very impressed with the food I had sea bass delicious and plentiful staff very attentive especially a young lady who was from Australia didn't get her name nothing was too much trouble will definitely be visiting again .

Lovley staff stronly recommend this place 👌

We really like this place, especially as we can take the dog. A place of two halves, the barn and the pub. Plus a copious amount of outdoor seating. Both buildings serve food and the menu is more or less the same in each. We liked the barn, it seemed to have a more up market, wine bar vibe. There's also a restaurant area in there which is out of bounds to the pooch. We shared a pizza and which was good but I thought it was a bit lacking in the amount of toppings. More so given the price. A good choice of drinks and very friendly attentive staff made for a very pleasant visit.

I booked a birthday celebration in the marquee for 37 people. Throughout our planning, staff at the farm couldn’t have been more helpful. They accommodated all our plans, providing great advice on how we could enhance the experience. All our queries were quickly followed up whether by email or by us attending in person. We pre-booked food and guests were really impressed by the amount of choice. On the day we couldn’t have asked for more. Everything was as we had asked. Food was excellent. We had our own waiter/s to order drinks and they were constantly checking whether our guests needed anything. All our guests were so complimentary about the marquee, the quality of food and promptness and friendliness of the staff. You all made my special day even more special. Thank you.

Meet up with some friends pizza was delicious and so was the Prosecco, the music was far too loud for a restaurant, asked for it to be turned down a bit but it wasn’t, very difficult to talk over with a group of friends, staff were pleasant and efficient, however at the risk of sounding ‘old’ , the bar/restaurant was very busy with a loud, younger crowd and all the staff are young so maybe it’s what they like!? Maybe give a busy Friday a miss if you just want a chatty catch up

Beautiful place, amazing food and brilliant friendly staff

Visited on Sunday and although the surroundings were very pleasant the experience was not so pleasant. The service was pleasant once we were sat at the table, but we had to wait some time to be taken to the table. We ordered the food in an appropriate time but the food did seem to take to arrive and the Two Sunday lunches were not very warm and the fish and chips were greasy. We were not asked if the meal was ok until it was too late so was not worth saying anything.

Lovely friendly pub situated in Monkspath Solihull. Attended a family event held at The Farm which offered a variety of food from their set menu. Staff laid out the food which looked stunning with assortment of pizzas, squid, mushroom sliders in cute little buns, chicken skewers, frittatas, mixed salads, dips all absolutely 💯 very relaxed & lovely afternoon celebrating 🥳

A disappointing luncheon here today. Slow service of drinks and slower of main courses. Duck salads of more fat than duck and not crispy enough. Our Dirty fries were stuck together under a measly amount of chilli, cheese, and just 3 small slices of habenero. Not anyway good enough for £35 with 2 soda drinks.

I really like this place, it is so well run, the staff are very friendly and efficient, lovely clean outdoor area. Literally the only thing I would like to see is hooks in the toilets, no one wants to put their handbag on the floor.

Good place to share a relaxed late lunch with friends. Although menu limited, food was very good. Staff attentive.

Friendly staff, quick service, really fresh food which was very tasty. All round great & would recommend

Always consistently great, friendly attentive staff, food comes quickly and it's good quality and they may even bring your drinks over to you , wow 👌

Sunday roast was very good! Haven’t been for ages and it was much better than I remember

Good food, for the price they could have some better cutlery that doesn't bend when stabbing a pizza

The restaurant is good and the food very good but a local community hall on the other side of the car park has been turned into a mosque with a prayer session at lunchtime so there was nowhere to park! Even my disabled sister that I was meeting had to park a long way away. They had parked on verges, double yellow lines and anywhere a car could be squeezed into so it was quite stressful. For that reason, I would have to advise against a lunchtime meet up there unless you live walking distance away. Also, check the mosque website for prayer times (5 times daily) before booking.

Great meal, friendly staff who were attentive and helpful, fabulous food, large portions, extremely tasty and lots of good choices 👍

Great food awesome puddings but the drinks were the most expensive

Went to watch foot ball and on the counter as a welcome snack they served cold burnt left over Yorkshire puds what an insult to loyal customers

Visited on a quiet Sunday evening with friends and were treated to fab food and attentive service. The team were really lovely and the menu made it really hard to choose just one meal!

Great meal. Good choice with all sorts of options. Busy inside and out.

I rarely write reviews when I go to restaurants but this time the experience was so excellent I highly recommend The Farm and I’ll tell you why. We arrived at The Farm as a family of 3 for Sunday lunch booking for the 1st time. My 6 year old son who is a beautiful confident child who has Autism. And anyone who has experience with autistic children will know or have experience of their challenges in dealing with new public places. My son is no different to others with autism and on this occasion was particularly challenging which made us as parents feel conscience almost immediately. Never the less the staff were wonderful and clam and accommodated us straight away after seating us in a lovely spot overlooking the garden. However as time went on we could see our son become more and more dis-regulated which was drawing attention to us to a point we thought about leaving the restaurant. I must say all the way through this time the staff were calm and attentive. At a particular point 1 diner 3 rows of table way approached our table to complain of the noise directly to us while claiming to represent all the diners in the restaurant. He even addressed my son directly in an angry tone, which drew even more attention to us making us want to move or leave the restaurant. In response and to accommodate this 1 diner”s complaint I tried to forcibly remove our son from the dining area. At this point the staff and the management intervened to settle us back in our seats to allow me to calm our son down while feeling even more conscience of the attention this episode on our son and us. Meanwhile the manager had offered the diner an alternative table of his choice and he accepted which allowed everything settle down. When the manager returned to our table to check on us she sincerely apologised on behalf of the restaurant for our experience and stated the diner should not have approached and embarrassed liked that and we had every right to continue having our lunch where we were. The restaurant staff and management made us feel so welcome. We decided due to the trauma and still feeling embarrassed, to ask for our main courses as Takeway. The manager was again so apologetic of our dining experience she didn’t even charge us for any of the bill. When we got home we managed enjoy our wonderful Sunday lunch. I highly recommend the lamb! Thankfully the story doesn’t end there. My wife and I decided to return to the restaurant for lunch today out of gratitude to the way we were treated by the staff and management. The experience and food was wonderful! I recommend the Wood Fired 1/2 British Chicken and the Cherry Bakewell for desert! The way we were treated by the staff and managed really restored our faith in people and businesses and made us feel we have every right to be there just like any other (normal) family.

Excellent 👍🏻 Lovely food, great surroundings, very professional staff Would recommend

Absolutely wonderful meal as usual. Love this place and food is amazing. Really like the specials menu such good choices.

This is one of the best restaurants near me in Solihull. Immediately you are greeted with a warm welcome followed by attentive service. The food is outstanding, particularly their wood fired pizzas. Try their baked cookie dough if you want an indulgent dessert. One of our favourite places to eat

Nice restaurant close so all the Solihull amenities. Tucked away, it's got a nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Pizzas looked superb!

Golly was the best bouncer, he was so lovely and funny definitely come here again!!

love this place, especially the bouncer golly, he was amazing💞

We came lunch time. We sat in the bar area (as dogs are allowed there). Food and service was great..definitely recommend

I can’t believe we didn’t try this place sooner. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and amazing food.

Me and my friends went to mcdonald’s for food prior to going to the farm. We chose a seat outside and left our belongings and leftover mcodnalds bag on the table. We then went inside to order our round of drinks. However once we went back outside we found a male member of staff searching through our bag. Once confronted he told us we couldn’t eat outside food here which we weren’t. We explained it was food to take home and he acted extremely rude. We offered to let him take the bag until we leave but he just ignored us and walked off in a strop. If you like your stuff being searched without content you’ll love the farm 🥰

Had a pint and 2 glasses of wine (large) Very nice a little expensive. First visit wouldn't put me off going again Sat in the garden the food looks nice 😋. Probably have a meal next time and just pay for a bottle of wine.

Very friendly staff good beer and food

Food was cooked and presented to perfection. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Nice relaxed atmosphere and also lovely outdoor seating to eat.

Great pub, popular all year round. Great variety of menu with excellent choice of dishes. Ate here a few times. Super beer garden, just perfect to chill. Split across two buildings, one is a main restaurant and bar with another more a traditional pub. Large surgery car park opposite so no issue with parking. Veg platter for starters was great selection. Everything we had was good.

I felt we were just shoved in a corner even though I had booked

The main menu is vast and exciting. The GF options were poor, and the food was below standard. It's a great cosy venue and would go again with friends.

Great staff, service if a little slow and free parking. Some of the food was good but I had the fish and chips. That was dreadfully undercooked with soggy batter with the chips cooked to death. I left most of it. On the way home felt a bit nauseous. Two others had the veg roast but said the spiced falafel just didn't work with the roast. Overall OK but won't be back.

Pizzas are delicious if only you could then, the base of Italian ham is lovely but I had to scrap the top off as I could not cut through to the base and when I tried to eat a bit of the base I chipped a small bit is a front tooth so it was an expensive meal

Booked a table of 10 for a late mother's day meal and a special thanks to the staff for accommodating us as 1 of our party was in a wheelchair. Most of us had the Sunday roast which was good and plentiful with the veg served separately, only negative were the deserts which we thought were overpriced at £9 a head, however serving staff were friendly and attentive, would definitely recommend and will return

Delicious Labanese Board to start and flavourful Crispy Sesame Duck Salad. Lovely atmosphere and staff very helpful, but not rushed.

Excellent food options. Have really upscaled their offering over time. I would definitely recommend establishment

Booked online. Received email confirmation that we could have our table until 8.30 pm, but were told at 7.50 pm that they wanted the table back by 8 o’clock, so a lovely meal was ruined because we couldn’t stay for coffee. What a shame!

Restaurant a little disappointing: too noisy for my taste, there is not much choice for vegetarians and even the dessert menu almost only offers frozen desserts

Nice food and service. Will definitely come again.

Came for Sunday roast but there was no lamb left,so opted for beef. Saw someone eating the pudding I would have chosen if I wasn't so full. Will order pudding first on my next visit🤣

Ordered lunch, group of 6 having various sandwiches and the fillings on 4/6 were unsatisfactory, cheese and onion baguette only enough cheese to cover half of the bread! Cranberry missing from another and no beetroot on another that had beetroot specified on the menu. Smallest piece of turkey on one. Maybe they have kids working in kitchen as it’s half term but they still need some guidance! Poor standards, would not return.

Very nice place, beautiful inside and out. Food was really good, we had a Sunday lunch around 6pm, very tasty, had to ask for more gravy though 😊 there was 9 of us including a child, was for a birthday. Staff very nice and accommodating. Would go again.

Great quiz night. Fantastic quiz master. Very helpful when you needed advice. Food value for money. Worth a visit to have a go

Great food & good value for money. Friendly staff, great service from our server Gabriella

Lovely meal. Had Sunday roast. Nice surroundings.

As always we all had excellent meals, there were 8 of us. 5 adults and 3 youngsters. All the food was fantastic, our waitress was lovely and very helpful, a very good afternoon early evening.

Excellent food, would really recommend the Sunday roast. I can’t remember a time I’ve had better service at a restaurant, Millie did an amazing job despite the restaurant being busy. Will definitely be back.

Love to visit this place, always very nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Lovely meal, great choices for gluten free requirements and always great service from the bar and the waiting staff. Many thanks

I work next door to Farm. I went for lunch, ordered a cold wrap and 20 minutes later it hadn’t arrived. I asked long it would be, Dan - one of the Managers? Said it was on its way. I waited a little longer, by this time I had to return to work. I asked for a box to put my food in. I said the food took too long, Dan quickly became aggressive. He swore at me- saying “this was sh*t” a colleague of his with blonde hair was with us. I said to her “you heard that” she defended him. I paid and left feeling very shaken up by his reaction. Very unprofessional and poor customer service.

We thoroughly enjoyed evening out with friends at the Farm. Service was excellent & we were made to feel really welcome by the staff team. Nothing was too much trouble and they were extremely attentive to our needs, regularly checking in with us and serving the food very efficiently. The meal was delicious and beautifully prepared. Special thanks to Isaac for taking such good care of us and making sure we had the best evening. Would highly recommend.

One of my fav place for wine & dine

Nathan & the team really looked after us so we had a stress-free evening as a family. The sea as was cooked to perfection & the pizzas were really tasty. Nice atmosphere and really attentive staff :)

What a lovely experience this was for our Christmas meal. The food was excellent and the service spot on. As with 7 individuals there were a few combinations of requirements whch were all catered for efficiently and with a smile. Nothing seemed too much trouble. We went to another 'Lovely Pub' in the chain last Christmas and I have to say the crackers and hats were a much better quality, (not even a plastic toy in the crackers) and consequently were left behind but this wouldn't deter us from booking our Christmas meal at The Farm next year.

Pre Christmas family get together on our doorstep and great food. Food was super and great service. Chicken nachos were delicious and I had the cod. We all enjoyed everything.

Had a family Boxing Day meal service was excellent couldn’t fault the food atmosphere was very good I hadn’t been to the farm for over 12 months I shall definitely be booking up again soon

Christmas Day!!!!! What a let down……we walked in to the staff having breakfast at 11.45am we were due to eat at 12, it was rather embarrassing….. for them!!! Turkey was dry as a bone, roasties uncooked, there was no cauliflower cheese or Yorkshire puddings it was all very dry!!! We had about 5 minutes between courses….not for me, we won’t do it again!!

The staff here are awful. I'm disabled & a male member of staff kicked us off our table saying it was reserved. They hadn't bothered clearing the table of menus so the reserved sign wasn't visible. We said we'd finish our drinks & leave but the member if staff was so aggressive and intimidating he took our half drunk drinks without permission & made us feel like second class citizens. He said we could come back again....really? Unnecessary & avoid at all costs especially if you're disabled on Christmas Eve. Ruined my Christmas Eve ..thanks Shelly Farm

Great place, been many times. Good quality food, great atmosphere. Just very disappointing to learn that they had no soap in the men’s toilets. I raised this with the staff, but two hours layer there was still no soap in the men’s toilet. Incredibly disgusting to be in a room of 50+ men knowing that none of them were able to wash their hands.

A busy evening for the Farm. Our meal felt very rushed and only a couple of minutes after our coffee was served we were asked to leave the table. We only had a main meal and the coffees so spoilt the evening. Appreciate Christmas is busy but not an enjoyable experience at all.

Great place with nice Xmas atmosphere,and friendly staff, and nice food

Nice food, not very accommodating to customers requests, and very busy so fairly slow service, but decent enough. Wouldn't be rushing back though

Had private function and nothing too much trouble Buffet food was excellent good choice and great value Staff were excellent especially Steve our host for the evening Definately recommend Well done to all

Comfortable, warm and atmospheric with pleasant and knowledgable staff. Good bar with a great selection of drinks. Food variable (depending on what you order) but on the whole, tasty and well cooked. Can recommend.

Went for dinner and the two of us opted for a flat iron steak with fries and steamed veg.Ths steaks were delicious and so was everything else, honestly, nothing to complain about.Very attentive service and polite staff.There were a few women who were really loud but other than that perfect 👌

- Lovely service, great waiting staff - Very comfortable atmosphere - Great mix of food - not just pub food/roasts

Went for lunch yesterday in the 'rear building '. Initial impressions were favorable and seemed a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. We moved to an area where there with proper tables & chairs to eat at. The atmosphere here completely changed to one of eating in a company dining hall. Maybe different on an evening. I'm not sure I would return 😕

Just popped in for a quick bite had the pea fritters and pizza omg how tasty was blown away I totally recommend a stop here. Good customer service food arrived quickly.

Two pizzas for one before 5 pm. Good pizza, good service and nice venue.

Great food and even better service. We were in the area for work but dined here twice as it was so good.

Great experience. Staff lovely. Food delivered quickly.

A lovely pub. Food was great as always, as was the beer. Attentive service and interesting decor too. Well worth a visit especially for the crispy duck salad.

We had a fabulous meal last night. We shared the nachos with pulled pork, chicken wings with hot sauce and the croquettes. I chose the grilled cod which was delicious. Everything perfect but the wine by the glass needs to be chilled.

Couldn't fault a single thing. Will definitely go back and highly recommend

We had amazing moments at the Farm last weekend! Delicious dinner and wonderful atmosphere around.

The farm was very busy but the food and service were excellent. Was a little bit more expensive than I would've expected.

A really nice place to eat. Very busy on a Monday night which speaks volumes.

I had an Italian Pizza. Never thought I would find such tasty Pizza in the UK. Service was fast and the Ambient is excellent.
