The Fighting Cocks in Birmingham

Our waitress Leila was delightful and really attentive. Nothing was too much for her to do for us.

Sunday roast was amazing. Was served by Demi who was attentive and lovely! Thank you☺️ x

Had a lovely Sunday lunch. The roast chicken was so tasty and the cheesecake was amazing!!! Thanks to Leila and Kamile for their attentive service.

Everything was good. Great service and good food. The crumble was disappointing, but the sticky toffee was great.

The building was brilliant and gives a really good vibe. The service was excellent and the food very very good.

Possibly the best fish and chips in Birmingham? Very fresh, excellent beer batter, great chips. Service can be a bit slow at times, but the beer's great and the staff friendly. And the spacious Arts and Crafts style interior is a comfortable, atmospheric place to hang out in

Great food with a varied selection. Well cooked and tasty. Excellent service. Could not be faulted.

It was great. Good food, great environment, and many drink options.

Great Monday quiz by Demi, really good food (especially Sunday roasts), beautiful building and decor, friendly atmosphere, great drinks selection

Friendly pub especially for dog lovers. We ordered lunch and beers, which were very slow to arrive. The food was delicious but the roast beef was just too small-3 morsels and it was gone. Its not particularly cheap either--my pint cost £6.70? 2 beers, one coffee and 3 lunches-main course only- was £69.00. The lounge looked very tired and in need of attention. There are much better places locally.

I popped into the fighting cocks the other night for a catch up with friends. Whilst there we were informed by their lovely staff that there was a new cocktail offer, 2 cocktails for £13. We couldn’t resist taking up the offer and ordered some of their lovely bar snacks whilst we were there.

I used to rate this as the best pub in Moseley but it has gone all corporate lost it's edge. It still does a very good range of beer. Getting back to how it was so another couple of stars. Happy to say that the Cocks has got it's mojo back. Have had several excellent meals. A welcome return.

We visit for the quiz most weeks, Demi is great and we can always rely on her to lift us up on a Monday! Atmosphere and decor is perfect very pub like but more of a modern feel. We do sometimes have food and it is always great, although quite expensive compared to other similar places. The roast dinner is highly recommended!

Visited here on a lunchtime which was extremely quiet. We ordered drinks and food. The menu was extensive and a good choice. My husband chose the seafood linguine and I chose the sausage and mash....the food arrived in a reasonable time. While my husband really enjoyed his food mine was not so good. The mash is advertised as clotted cream mash and the potatoes were crushed rather than mashed and no taste of clotted cream. It was just lumpy!! The sausages however were tasty. The fact this is a two star review is a combination of the food and the service. As mentioned it was quiet and not once were we asked how our food was....in fact the girl behind the bar seemed more interested one of the younger customers at the bar. We finished our food and left 20 minutes later....the plates had still not been collected. Will not be returning in the foreseeable future which a real shame.

We always attend the pub quiz. Demi was fantastic, as always, & it’s well worth a visit.

I hadn't been to this beautiful place in absolutely years, but it was like returning to somewhere that felt like a familiar pair of slippers. The gentleman who served us (Paul) is a total credit to this establishment. He's witty, funny, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. I can't wait to return here. I Love this place all over again ❤️

Great burgers and such friendly service and a very welcoming place

I visited here a few days ago (I wanted to as I’m an aspiring writer and this very pub is referenced in a couple of my books) and was so impressed by the very cozy atmosphere, the food and how friendly the barman/landlord was. It’s in a lovely old building with a clock tower. Would recommend to anyone.

We booked for Sunday Lunch. We had the sharer platter. The food was amazing and plentiful. The service was great and we will definitely book again.

When our food finally arrived it was very nice however it took exactly an hour from ordering for it to get to our table. Our server, Poppy, did come back to us after half an hour to apologise for the wait. Apparently they had taken a large order although our table was next to the kitchen and we didn’t see what looked like any large orders being brought out. She did ask if we’d like a free coffee. Nice gesture but we didn’t want coffee before our lunch. After a further 25 minutes she came back, apologised again and said it be 5 minutes more and she was right. However a wait of an hour on a Sunday is just too long. We didn’t have time for dessert as the car park was for 2 hours and time was up. Having not been before we have no idea if this is the ‘norm’ or a one off however based on this experience we are unlikely to return.

Absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and the lovely service and what a beautiful establishment.

Paul and Kamile provided excellent service. Enjoyed my night in a friendly atmosphere. Guinness very good. Espresso martinis great

We love it here. Our server, Poppy, was really friendly and efficient. The food was really yummy (particularly the beef!) and the house red was also great! We'll be back again!

Lovely little boozer that’s changed a lot over the years. Friendly bar staff, good variety of food and beers and there’s a screen for the sport for all sport fans who like the sporting activities.

Lovely friendly staff. Very helpful.

Love this place and thank you xx

Good food at reasonable prices. Nice beer too. The music was a bit loud but otherwise great atmosphere too.

This was a really great roast dinner, it would have been 5/5 if it hadn't gone cold so quickly serving it on those silly boards. The meat was cooked to perfection, Yorkshire pudding was excellent, veg was great. Roast new potatoes were nice but proper roasters would have really made it and if it hadn't gone cold so quickly! I would definitely recommend this, it's so hard to get a good Sunday roast & this was great! Just eat fast!

Meat part of meals ok but vegetables very disappointing. The green veg portions were small and the potatoes and root veg all over cooked

Ben was hosting the quiz and did an excellent job of keeping everyone engaged and laughing. We were amazed with the vegan options, we ordered a plant based burger and the this isn’t chicken burger special which even came with sweet potato fries. Beautiful pub.

Our server Ben was fantastic so attentive didn’t forget anything on our drinks or food order even when there was no apple sauce he popped to the shop brilliant !!

Great pub offering very tasty roasts, a good ambience, and friendly service. Recommended

Lovely traditional pub lovely food and service xx

We initially visited Tuesday evening but we would have been the only people eating in the restaurant area so left to find a bit more atmosphere. We returned Thursday evening when it was much better with an almost full restaurant area and music playing. The turkey pie and chicken and bacon burger were both very good as well was the beer which is the norm for this pub.

Booked for 4pm to have the Sunday lunch platter but when we arrived it was not available probably because we had a latish booking. Selected the beef dinner instead which was still lovely. Felt a little out of it as we were placed down the side out of view of everything and even the staff so had to ask for drinks and the bill. Food is great hats off to the chef 🧑‍🍳

Good service, did not eat so can't comment on food. Great guy serving at bar.

Because I've had a stroke, I asked if I could speak to the server Ben to one side, which he kindly did. The room was quite noisy and I struggle to speak and understand at times, which he really understood. Ben kindly brought our drinks and burgers (one cheese, one plant based) over, and both were delicious. Nice fries too. We stayed longer than we expected because the relaxed atmosphere, board games, Christmas decorations, log fire and Glühwein, but by then it was getting too much for me and sadly my condition meant we had to leave. Heartily recommend.

Food was delicious, our large booking was well accommodated and the service was great

Lovely food. Great service. Warming welcome and atmosphere in the venue. Best pub in Moseley.

The atmosphere was good, the service was good, however they didn't have my favourite drink so had to order something different.

We had the Christmas buffet, the food was amazing cooked by Zak and served by Leila. Our 2nd time with you and we’re already planning next year!! Thanks to you all, fantastic service, would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out with friends. Merry Christmas to you all!!

Booked a group of 13 for the festive buffet. Food was really ovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great pub. Thank you.

What a lovely place for food and a catch up with family. The staff were superb and the food was delicious. Even our dogs were made super welcome🙂

Had a lovely lunch here recently. Food was amazing, atmosphere & staff 10/10. Autism friendly.

Delicious food and great service. Both the veterinarians and meat Sunday roast were tasty and generous in portion.

My local pub Brilliant place to have a quiet drink in the week or have a good laugh and night out on the weekend. In the heart of moseley with a large beer garden that is heated. The food is absolutely beautiful, all homemade made and cooked with great choices for vegetarians and meat eaters. The vegan options are amazing aswell.

Me and my friend bring our babies here for lunch every Monday and cannot fault the service. The food is always great and Paul cannot do enough to accommodate us. It really is the highlight of our week!

Lovely pub. Used to come here years ago when I lived in the area but the food I had last night (veggie sausage and mash) was so bad I had to cover it in salt and brown sauce to get any flavour! It took ages to come and was a busy night but I've had better microwave meals and it cost £14.50 so i very very disappointedm I was offered a free dessert but I should've asked for a partial refund as I feel ripped off

Friendly and fun atmosphere, with great food. Whilst it manages to retain the charm of an aqintessetial British pub.

Gorgeous pub, great selection of drinks and very friendly staff who are very helpful and made great recommendations!!

We enjoyed a great Festive lunch last year so decided to return this year and weren't disappointed. Again the service and food were faultless. The table was beautifully decorated. There was an open fire burning and Christmas songs playing. Two veggie eaters and two meat eaters loved the food and it really did feel like Christmas. See you next yearxxx

Smashing pub, excellent choice of beers and wine, really nice fish & chips with generous portions. Good atmosphere, quiet enough to talk.

Cool pub nice garden...a local favourite in Moseley

I have a specific set of needs. The owner and manager could not of been any more accommodating , kind and friendly. All without making me feel like a pest. The service was excellent. They kept us informed and the food was marvellous.

I went to the fighting cocks on sunday with my friend to enjoy a comforting Roast. It was delicious as per usual. We were seated upon arrival and our drinks orders were taken straight away. We didn’t have to wait long for our roasts which came out piping hot with all the yummy trimmings and the added extra of cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets. Fantastic Food and Stunning Service as always.

Lovely staff made you feel very welcome food just average

Lovely pub but the roast lunch was disappointing. Potatoes and parsnips far too hard and undercooked!

9 adults, 2 babies and 1 dog and everything was fantastic! We parked 3 cars at Moseley Village Car Park 2 minutes walk away with 74 spaces.

Really great Sunday roast... Nice historical pics on wall. A touch too chilly. Dog friendly gets my vote. Well done

Great pub, friendly staff and amazing food.

pub quiz is unrivalled, we love Matt and also Demi!! we’ve come every week for years, great atmosphere, bar staff are all lovely xxxx

Lovely food, reasonably priced, friendly service

As much as we love it here not sure what’s going on with the drink selection lately. My husband is not a fan of pale ale but pubs seem to be obsessed with it lately. The only ale on offer for him was Timothy Taylor...

Demi was very friendly and happy all was very pleasant. Quick service great beer and food good atmosphere.

Lovely traditional pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. A good selection of drinks and a good food menu but does lack veggie options. I came here for Sunday lunch with my friends. As a vegetarian I had the nut roast which was lovely,...

Always go for the pub quiz and get the burger and drink deal

It took ages for them to bring our food

Our first visit and we were really impressed by the stunning food, both presentation and taste, and the convivial service. We ate outside in the sun in the beer garden in one of the little hubs with their own heater. Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend. We...

Just expensive drinks. A bit overpriced. So, I went across to weatherspoons Great atmosphere and 5 star service. Won't go to the fighting cockspur ever again.

Example of a great pub to relax with friends

Overall, we thought this was a lovely place to have a Sunday roast for the family. We each ordered something different but felt the sharing platter was the most value. I had the beef roast but was a bit disappointed that I had only 2 small slices of beef, however the Yorkshire pudding was generously sized even if it were a bit overcooked. Our roast potatoes weren't crispy but they still tasted nice. The roast root veggies were done nicely and cabbage was a nice a touch. The gravy/jus could be a bit richer but thought it was just the right amount. The chicken was the best out of the lot, very well cooked and seasoned and generous. The pork belly was delicious and our second favourite. The steak and chips could do with some substantial greens other than a watercress garnish like peas or green beans or broccoli to make it a complete meal. The service was good and the staff very attentive. The atmosphere was also lovely to eat in. We generally enjoyed our lunch and would recommend it to others on a 7/10 score.

Lovely pub we stopped in for a drink and saw a dusty copy of battleships (board game) on the shelf. Dusted it off and had a great time. No idea how my wife can so consistently sink my ships. The only thing i was able to sink was my drink. Delicious!

Nice enough pub with decent garden out back, staff always on point. 4 star only because I never come in when it's busy and I've never eaten here - will update once I have x

Great atmosphere wonderful draught beer,but the food was just terrible

Paul was very great with us and service too! Lovely to be in again

So we came here for a meal (Wife myself and toddler). Firstly the hygiene - there is a strong smell of urine in part of the restaurant. The tables and floors are caked in a sticky grime. The food - the child's portion size is way to small. We ordered a cheese melt, which was supposed to come with a cheese and mustard sauce, with gherkins and caramelised onions. When we questioned where the gherkins and onions were we were told the onion and gherkin was blended into the sauce, this was was clearly not true and the waitress then bought over a gherkin on the side! We pointed out the menus specifically noted the gherkins and onions were separated from the sauce, she said she doesn't control the menu and to contact the manager. We also ordered truffle fries but we're given plain then charged the full value of the fries despite them telling us it would be charged as an upgrade only. All in all a pretty poor experience. For an establishment to be charging the premium prices they do we would expect to at least receive the what we paid for.

Paul brought great energy to the meal, accommodated any special requests and was an all-round good guy. Made us want to go back again 10-/10.

This is becoming our regular in Moseley. Good menu, good choice of drinks including ales, friendly staff. Great pub!

Had sunday roast here as a family with small children. The food was brilliant, and a great price. The interior dark and somewhat dated and was not very inviting. Some scary clientèle, who were either drunk or drugged and singing/shouting loudly with staff not intervening. This happened Sunday noon time and was pretty off putting and did not feel very safe. I would say great food/pub for adults but not kid friendly in the daytime (or any time ;) )

Great beer, friendly staff, beautiful building, great food. Much better under the new management.

It is a rare occasion that I find myself compelled to "Big up!" a place. But after my visit to The Fighting Cocks I had to put text to screen. The bar manager and her staff made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I arrived. The food was excellent and (More importantly.... ) the beer was of the very finest quality! I'll be back!

Will always come here when in Moseley. Great wine selection and drinks. Met a friend early doors one weekend - got peckish and ordered some small plates to share - were all delicious and generous portions. Nice chilled atmosphere and good service. Music at the weekend is always brilliant- amazing bands and up beat atmosphere! Great bookings (thanks Karen)! Really good to see live bands back on The Cocks. Recommend!

Convivial atmosphere, friendly staff. Handsome building. Delicious food. High standard of live music. Great vibez. Lovely beer garden. Great hang out for Moseley locals and visitors alike. Much better under the new management.

The creative thinking management of Shaun and the team let me do a once a month Retro Fair at this iconic establishment and it deserves 6 stars.The atmosphere is the best in town .The pub is famous for its live music years ago and thankfully...

Consistently a good pub with friendly staff, a beer garden and nice food. Also dog friendly. The Mac and cheese is on point

I have been to this pub a few times recently for food. Always great quality and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. We had the roast dinner today and the belly pork was particularly beautiful. Lovely service from Demi too - we will be...

Lovely character and excellent service. Must return. Guy runs an excellent pub.

Ever since guy left this establishment and sean took over the place has nose dived. All the great staff have left due to Sean's terrible man management skills (theyve all gone to the prince of wales because the working enviroment and wages are better)..I have...

Great staff, beautiful venue and brilliant value for money

Great pub, worked there 50 years ago, changed a bit but for the better

A nice atmosphere, not like weather spoons omg 😭

Lovely pub with a beer garden at the back

Very friendly staff....The menu (evening) offers a free drink..lots of choice....nice outside area... parking is two minutes up the road.

Lovely staff and beautiful live music.

Amazing. Scotch eggs. Best I have ever had. Made fresh and the eggs were runny and cooked to perfection! Just LOOK at my photos - they tell the whole story!!!

As someone who was born and raised in Moseley many moons ago, I know the Fighting Cocks pretty well, however, as I moved away nearly 40 years ago, I've not visited for a long, long time. Anyway, last week, on a visit to the area...

Ordered a decaffeinated flat white , desperately lacking in coffee taste , fed back to bar staff and asked for another shot to add flavour and was told due to company policy i need to pay an additional 2.99. Wow I've just paid £5.98 for a coffee in a pub whilst spending an additional £30 on food.

Lovely food, fantastic staff. Cosy and charming place. Favourite Moseley pub.

An impulse visit from a quick Google search and it did not disappoint. My partner had a roast which he said was amazing, and I only wanted something light so I had prawn and chorizo with feta, which was delicious. We both had brownies which were amazing too. Great food, friendly staf and very quick service. really nice vibe in there too. Can highly recommend.

Loved the quiz tonight with Matt! Excellent host and lovely vibes, great service :)
