The Garden House in Birmingham

We waited ages at the bar to be served, I think they were short staffed. Atmosphere is non existent yiu can hear a pin drop in the lounge and bar areas.

Lovely family catch up before Easter. Wide range of superb food brilliantly served by attentive friendly staff, especially Theresa

We visited the Garden House for a group lunch and we were very well looked after by the staff, and the table service was just the right level of friendly and enthusiastic. The food I had was delicious - chicken pie with potato wedges. I'm looking forward to visiting again.

Food was incredible and the service by Theresa was lovely

What fantastic experience from start to finish. We were shown straight away to a great table that would ensure my companion wouldn’t get bumped into in her wheelchair by Theresa our server, who was top notch. What a brilliant server, she needs a raise! Lol . Food was 11/10 - we had the gigantic cheese Toastie and yummy scampi both served with perfectly cooked chips/fries. We also had “proper” fresh homemade ice cream which was to die for! Thanks for looking after us so well! Edited to add: In fact it was so brilliant not only did we come back in the evening when Ellie looked after us so well, (Lamb shank Shepherd’s pie!! Yum) we came back again today for a second dinner with Theresa back in the saddle, looking after us with a splendid fish supper - the Seabass was exquisite. What a gem this place is 😊

Great food great service Theresa was a sta

Food was lovely. Service was fantastic, particularly Theresa

The food was absolutely appalling. My partner got into bed last night after our meal and she couldn’t get the state of the meal off her mind. The only reason I’m taking time to write this review is because this is the second or third time we’ve been disappointed this time we asked for them to replace the batter chips but literally tasted battered and they told us there’s nothing that they could do. we would have to pay again for some new chips. That’s how they’re supposed to taste. We don’t feel this is good enough as we have been regular customers for a few years And expect food to at least be edible. the chicken was also rock solid. My partner struggled to cut through with a weak arms as she is limited upper body strength bcuz of a collar bone injury. Don’t think I’ll be going back.

Lovely place, good atmosphere, exceptional food, we had the sea bass and sausage and mash. Food was served hot. Service was really friendly and welcoming. Theresa was very attentive and patient. Overall excellent!

10/10 in every way possible. Dave & Sarah were a delight. The cocktails were soooo good we had the English Garden! The veggie options were so good too. Thanks for the Brum hospitality and we will hopefully be back again soon for more.

Shame there was no carvery left by the time we came to order. Service was good once ordered. Dog friendly in bar.

Theresa is an absolutely exceptional hostess. I have bought three of my elderly relatives here on a regular basis and every time she remembers their names, remembers what their preferences are and always serves with compassion and understanding. She is also incredibly efficient and just the loveliest lady. She is an asset to the restaurant.

disappointed in the crispy belly pork rice nice nice atmosphere

Popped in here for late lunch Saturday. Food and service very good. Plenty of it...

Great food and atmosphere. Theresa was a lovely server.

Lovely meal tonight and couldn't fault the service, especially our waitress Theresa!

Food was lovely, staff very friendly.

Food amazing. Theresa lovely as always

great experience, amazing service, lovely food

Popped in for a quick bite...lovely fresh food and great service.. Theresa is great and made us feel very relaxed and welcome.

Excellent food and service for the family including dogs

Magda was very friendly and helpful and made our visit very enjoyable

We eat here a lot and the food and service are usually great. Went for Sunday lunch today (16th March) Restaurant seemed pretty full and only looked like 3 staff on the floor. No one asked how our food was, otherwise we would’ve given feedback sooner. Main meal was fine. Dessert (apple tart) was another matter. Pastry soggy and cold in parts. Had to get staff attention for bill, which arrived without chance to say how poor dessert was We paid in full and gave feedback to say pastry soggy and dessert cold, to be told, ‘that’s because it’s vegan!’ Really! Since when do vegans only eat cold food? Was told feedback would be passed on to chef. Come on Garden Hose, don’t patronise loyal customers and insult our intelligence here. Please acknowledge feedback, ensure sufficient staff to ask to f all is ok with food and not make excuses.

A super evening and lovely good and service from Theresa

Popped in for lunch, food was really nice. Steak on ciabbatta, with chips & salad, so tasty

Family meal . . ... Family meal Saturday night Menu choices are good The food was good,especially the desserts. The service was excellent thanks to Sarah, who looked after us politely and professionally. The place has improved since our last visit. Would recommend for family-friendly dining. . .

We came on a random Thursday and it was absolutely lovely. Theresa was fantastic with my 6 year old will definitely return again

Delicious food ! Service was very quick very good hosts and nothing was too much trouble lovely atmosphere highly praised ! Thankyou 🙂

Had a lovely meal here,Paul served us,friendly and hospitable the food was great we dont come here often but always feel they go above and beyond expectations Thanks guys

Lovely lunch meeting with my colleague. Enjoyed the background music and the pace of service. Nothing was too much trouble.

Excellent service and food, the team were fantastic…..

Great food and drinks - New menu is absolutely wonderful and giveng spring / summer vibes. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Place is clean and welcoming! Many thanks 😊

Ideal place to get a nice meal. Magdala and Ellie were very attentive.

Best British food I had by far as the Sunday roast was really amazing. My wife liked her fish also a lot. Super friendly young waiter. Location is spacious and very clean. As tourists we can highly recommend as the pricing was really reasonable compared to the inner city.

Server was very friendly and kind but the food was cold and tasted like a primary school lunch. Not worth £20

Magdalena and Ellie are very friendly and welcoming. Great service. The food is delicious, served quickly, eventhough I was told there would be a wait. All of the team work so hard, Josh is unfortunately leaving which I was shocked to hear, and I will be so sad to see him go. He is, in my opinion, a valuable asset to this venue. I wish him well x

Theresa was a star. Great service.

Staying at a nearby hotel, I was grateful on arriving to see the manager was able to squeeze us in a what was going to be a busy valentines evening. We arrived about 4:45pm. We were shown to our seats and a waitress got our drinks order, 5 mins later, she took our food order, however a couple who arrived after us had ordered and got their drinks before us! So we had to remind manager about our drinks. That was the only hiccup as the drinks and food were delicious. Although the waitress briefly forgot the bill! Chef and brewer are above average food and drink prices. Useful restaurant for those staying local.

Food was unbelievable staff amazing and would recommend highly

Great food and Great staff. Charlie

Lovely evening with lovely food and superb service

Nice surroundings, clean and great music in the background.

Dropped in on the recommendation of a friend. Magda and Ellie found us a table, gave great service and the food was really good. Can't fault it.

Lovely chilled pub with great food and lovely attentive staff. We went for tea whilst visiting the botanical gardens, it was go nice we went back the next day for lunch. Lots of veggie/vegan options, I had veggie grill, large well presented portions well worth the prices. Drink prices not unreasonable either. Tip, get the hallomi fries!

We were served delicious food by the most lovely waiter called Joshua. He was most attentive, he was like sunshine on a dark gloomy night. His attention to our party made it a very special night.

Had lunch here today, I had the fish cake with salad. Very nice food. Nice and friendly staff (Josh)😊👍🏽

Staff were amazing and so friendly. We called after a full fun day at Cadbury world. Theresa was lovely and great with kids. Food was Bob on and very well presented.

Amazing food, great service from Magda!

Rib of beef Sunday roast always a winner! Great service. Nice and chill atmosphere.

We came here on Thursday evening for my partners birthday meal, service was brilliant from Theresa and Josh, especially when there was only the 2 of them! Will definitely be returning Thank you

We hadn't booked but staff were very accommodating and squeezed us in. Service was great and our waiter knew the menu extremely well. The food was really tasty and the waitresses was just lovely. We will be returning!

First time here and where made to feel so welcome by all staff food was amazing and a special thankyou to Theresa for her hospitality

Lovely pub and meal , amazing service from Theresa will definitely return and recommend.

Traditional pub with a clean modern twist. The staff make it a very pleasurable experience. Our waiter Josh was super helpful, friendly and professional. Made our evening a very happy one!

The chef's board was both generous and delicious. Chips cooked to perfection. Amazing lime and soda (they use far better cordial than most places). All that combined with speedy and friendly service.

Good nosh and lovely staff on a wintry evening. 👍 😊

We went for my birthday on Saturday booked here because wanted good food , but I'm sorry was so disappointed, 3 out of 6 meals were cold like really cold my son just ended up saying I don't want anything now as it sent back the others were returned to us , not value for money meals are not cheap here ,my steak was not worth £20 I have had better at a weatherspoons, they offered us free deserts so we thought ok that would be nice but we waited 40 mins for these and when I asked where they were the waitress said oh have not had them yet ?? Came bk and said they are ready but still no deserts ? In the end I asked for the bill because we was getting more annoyed so we left ,we spent more than £200 with food and drinks I'm sorry but we won't be returning think this place has gone down hill

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Garden House Pub, and it was a truly exceptional experience from start to finish! The presentation of the food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish looked like a work of art, plated beautifully with vibrant colours and attention to detail. The starters set the tone perfectly—a creative combination of fresh greens, roasted vegetables, and a delightful crunch of seeds that was both refreshing and satisfying. For the mains, the variety and flavours were incredible. The perfectly roasted potatoes, hearty vegetables, and rich gravy created a comforting yet elevated dish. My partner’s plate, featuring succulent fish atop a flavorful medley of vegetables, was equally impressive. The care and precision in every bite were evident. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lovely rustic charm that made the whole evening feel special. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, the Garden House Pub is a must-visit. It’s clear they put passion into every aspect of the dining experience. I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable meal!

Have always enjoyed the Sunday lunch but not sure what has happened The roasted potatoes tasted warmed up and hard and the vegetables were awful Really dissapointed as it was my husbands birthday Feel like I wouldn’t want to risk going again which is sad The lady who served us was good with us though

Good menu, more expensive than we are used to here. Only a few people in restaurant when we went Monday lunch time so difficult to comment on atmosphere.

Table booked for 7pm, ordered food at 7.10pm, a table of four arrived about 7.20pm ordered their drinks and food and we were still waiting on our food when the table of four had their food. We asked how much longer and the waitress said five minutes without even going to check on our order. Our food arrived at 7.50pm. After a wait of forty minutes to be served you would expect the food to be hot, well it wasn’t, the fries were stone cold as was the burger, we complained and left without eating any of the food that we had ordered. This visit came after our last booking was cancelled three hours before as the chef had gone home. It is safe to say that we will not be returning to The Garden House, Edgbaston. The food here is not cheap so we expected a decent meal and all we got was a plate of cold food. Would give zero stars if I could.

My friend was already there and when Joshua greeted me he showed where she was and immediately took my drink order. I ordered the mushroom and ale pie and my friend had the steak. Both the service and food was excellent and special mention must be made of Joshua who was the perfect ambassador for the restaurant.

Very disappointed, I took my partner to have a meal, she had fish and chips, it was hard to find the fish in the batter, we went with a special offer, we had a bad meal served last time we were there so we thought give them a chance again . If this was there special offer god help them , all I can say is the young man serving us was nice . They did knock some off the bill. But this is not good enough, the chef who cooked it must have known the food was poor

Josh and Magda are grateful hosts! They both make us feel some welcoming! Fabulous people. Grate, profesional service

Really excellent place to go and very good prices

Great food and wonderful friendly service. Thank you to Ellie for looking after us so well.

Heather Taylor was excellent on a busy Sunday before Christmas. We will be back.

We had a lovely lunch here, served by Theresa who was very personable and friendly. Tasty food and good value.

Great food and excellent service by Theresa! She was very engaging with the kids and attentive to our needs. We highly recommend this place.

Had a lovely meal here and Theresa was brilliant!

Great service from staff Josh and all the staff’s were very accommodating and helpful

Met a friend for lunch, the service was very good and the food was nice but the place was almost empty and had no atmosphere.

Accepted our booking at very short notice and the staff were warm and welcoming. Our waiter (Joshua) was friendly, well informed and attentive! Food was beautifully cooked. Thankyou.

Always choose the garden house for Xmas eve family meal. Great environment, friendly staff, quick service and the food generally high standard

Fantastic! All the staff were really friendly and we had a lovely Christmas dinner here. We’ll definitely be back again soon :)

Have been here a fair few times. Staff very freindly. Great food reasonable price.

I went to dine to what was our favourite pub where the manager refused to let us dine as they were not accepting walk ins. We were categorically told they were fully booked. I then went to book online where there were plenty of tables available. We could only book tables in multiples of 4 therefore my 5th guest was ok to dine by himself. They then again refused. It became apparent the staff were tired fed up and agitated and simply did not want to accommodate 5 Indian gentlemen. There were plenty tables empty and we were the only the only family of colour where the assistant manage ‘Richard’ seem to have an issue as he was proven wrong to say fully booked. I really lovely young lady ‘Taylor’ noticed the dissatisfaction and came out of her way to be more professional and apologise for the inconvenience at which stage my guests simply did not want dine anymore: Taylor was extremely apologetic which was no fault of hers: True leadership was shown by Taylor and it is simply an embarrassment for Richard and senior managers that they cannot demonstrate the same level of hospitality and commitment to customer service. I hope there are more ‘Taylor’s’ that this industry benefits from. I myself would employ Taylor in any of my multiple Indian restaurants such as Akbars

Wish we had found this place before. Food and staff amazing, Theresa our waitress was so lovely and helpful. Steak was lovely, squid starter was lush, followed by the steak and ale pie. Will definitely return when we are back up this way.

Loved this place! Came for a catch up with some old friends and from start to finish our service from Treresa was spot on! She had us belly laughing and really knew how to look after us, food was nice and beautiful decor! Only down fall was my friend deciding to drink Guinness 0% :O but i suppose its good they cater for all. Will be back again! Thank you

Mixed up orders and caused an allergic reaction because of this. Took over 2 hours to have lunch despite being one of the first few in there. Staff need direction just to take plates away after course was done. Served lukewarm tea. Very shoddy service, couldn't even crack a smile

Beautiful Sunday lunch. Staff very attentive and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A thank you to Lindsey who served us.

Food a bit dry and mix up with the tea

Lovely lunchtime meal with family and great service - thank you Theresa.

Had our Christmas meal there the food was really nice and the staff where great and friendly.. nothing too much trouble .. totally would recommend this restaurant 👌

Great food and fantastic service from Theresa

Lovely cosy pub, tasty traditional english food, although it could do with a few more starter and dessert options. Teresa was very friendly and attentive and provided a top service.

Theresa was amazing ever so pleasant and friendly. Great food great service will definitely be back

Theresa was out very attentive server, she made the meal so much better with her friendliness, and advice on food choices. I will be coming back again.

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Good food.

Excellent food and service was amazing. Especially our waitress Taylor. Will be back

Nice food Nice place. Hard to get to off Hagley Rd but doable.

40 minute wait for food, food was edible until a rude male waiter delievered food with the worst breath I’ve ever endured. If I would have had a mint in my bag I would have gave it him. I’ll never return here again.

Great food and great service from Theresa! Definitely recommended

Great service and lovely food. Alex was very friendly and helpful.

A great Mobday afternoon find inside the unassuming exterior - plenty of parking, warm & welcoming, properly dog-friendly in the bar area, with a broad range of food and some interesting twists like the Garden Plot Medley, and the Signature Burger with Marmite mayo. Alex looked after us really well - it's nice to give praise where it's earned!

Very nice food, friendly staff and good atmosphere

Taylor was really sweet. If we had 1million pounds we’d give her as a tip! Lovely bubbly person made our dining experience wonderful 🤍

Alex, thank you very much , your an asset:-)

We came here for date night and everything was just amazing! The food, the drink and the atmosphere was perfect. But our server Taylor made our night! Made sure we had everything we needed and gave us such a laugh. She is an absolute credit to the company. We will be back for sure! :)

It's really nice here food is good
