The Hart at Headless Cross in Redditch

Made a special trip as the website made a big thing of being dog friendly. Unfortunately the food was overpriced and my dish, slow cooked beef rib, was inedible. Swimming in grease and veg taken to the limit of Al Dente. They did offer a fresh meal but my appetite by this time had well gone. Disappointing.

Went for breakfast entered my reg as there is an ANPR and still got a bill for £100 with a tiny portion on top turned out to be an expensive Sunday morning ... not running the risk of going back and getting charged again .. may be why the place was empty others doing the same ?

Didn't eat. Met up with family for a few early one's. A welcoming atmosphere and plenty of competent and friendly bar staff and security. Pricey but worth it for a place to relax and enjoy the night like everyone seemed to be. Would recommend.

Always lovely staff and the food is very good

Had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Hart at Headless Cross, and a huge part of that was thanks to Amber! From the moment we walked in, Amber made us feel so welcome with her warm smile and friendly attitude. She went above and beyond to make our visit memorable, offering top-notch service with genuine care. It’s clear she loves what she does, and it truly made our day. Amber, you are a gem! Thank you for making our experience so special – we can’t wait to come back!

A last minute find when needing a good meal whilst at a conference at the NEC. Absolutely worth the trip. All the food was top notch, the front of house staff and kitchen were exceptionally helpful to one of our party with quite niche allergies. Was a bit noisy due to one particularly loud group however it is a pub and that’s only to be expected. Would certainly return when nearby!

Went for food and a drink. Was shocked at the price of the drinks! £11 pounds for the wine & £6 for a beer! It’s only Redditch not the mail box Birmingham!!! Didn’t fancy anything on menu but that’s probably because put off with the price of drinks. Don’t mind paying drinks prices if upmarket but this place is far from it😡

We visited on a weekday lunch time. Ordered a fish fingers sandwich and some chips. After 50 minutes of waiting we gave up and asked for a refund, still waiting for this to be issued by the way! Manager was rude and acted like we didn't matter, we understand you had a big table in but that table all had empty plates when we left, so surely a sandwich and fries could have been done, speaking from working in a kitchen, it's not hard. Please issue our refund Thanks

Lack of personal service. Food ok.

A very nice atmosphere, friendly. A locals hang out food was great. My fish was a little oily. But other than that perfect.

My hubble and I came here for a lil treat as we felt it was deserved and it's 50% off burgers on a Tuesday. The burgers were great. The hallumi fries were brilliant but do not need the chili's and pomegranate on it. The fries were a little bit of a let down and we did not like the onion rings. They are huge onion rings and it just felt like too much. Too many onion rings, too much onion, too much batter. However, the service here is the best I have had anywhere. The guy who welcomed me was so sweet and genuinely seems to like working here. When he collected our plates and asked if I'd like to take the onion rings home, I explained that unfortunately they were the only thing we didn't really like. He not only offered us both extra drinks but then refunded the onion rings. Over personal taste! Incredible. The young lass who came and did our refund was also really pleasant and smiley and had a little chat with us before going on about her work and also, seems to genuinely want to be here. The owners must actually treat their staff with kindness and respect here and it really shows. Food wise where The Hart really comes into its own is the deserts. We had churros which were perfectly crisp with a delicious chocolate dipping sauce. No soggy churros here! We also had the home made sticky Toffee pudding which was hands down the best I have had anywhere. Absolutely brilliant.

Reasonable food. Got there half hour before our table booking for a drink. Told that we were too early for our table. We asked if there was somewhere to sit in the meantime and were directed outside. Sat for over half an hour in an outdoor booth, with a bathroom wall heater mounted above the table, that we had to repeatedly keep switching on because it seemed to have an activation time of about 1 minute. We were told that someone would come and get us when our table was free, but no-one came. We eventually seated ourselves at the table. There were no menus available. We had to go and find some. There didn't seem to be any kind of waitress service. There didn't appear to be any rules on children service after a watershed time. There were a couple of women sat opposite that were letting their kids run riot, whilst they drank cocktails, and nothing was said to them by staff. Just another example of poor parenting unchecked. You don't expect to go out for an evening meal and be cursed by rampant children at 8pm. Meals were delivered to the wrong recipients. We had to work out who had got what. Drinks very expensive. Our general impression of our first visit to The Hart - All fur coat and no knickers.

Great food, quick service and friendly staff.

Good fish and chips. Good service and atmosphere.Fish and chips comes with lovely freshly made chunky chips 🍟 😋

What a pleasure.. we took our son and daughter in law for a lunch as we were visiting and I am so glad we came to this place. The food was amazing, steak sandwich with gravy side was a definate winner.. the piggy sticks with the best apple sauce and fish finger sandwich really stood proud and my hummus with chilli oil was game changing. My little well behaved floof was welcomed with a treat and a fuss and the choice of beverage was plentiful. Such a great place to go, and we will 100% be back for more.

We are French, the family of 6 who visited this evening (August 27) Thank you for the welcome and mutual understanding, we were served by two friendly young women. The dishes were excellent and plentiful, we had a great time. Our children were delighted to see a typical English restaurant, thank you again for the warm welcome

Service spot on, food steaming hot and very tasty.

Lovely pub, just what Headless Cross needed, we go there regularly. However, whether it’s an morning coffee or early evening drink the music is so very loud, it’s hard to have a conversation. We understand that music creates a lively atmosphere but wow it’s too noisy.

Wanted to try the cocktail bar but it was shut but it was quite late

We went for lunch, it was busy so we waited over half an hour for our meal. The taste of the bacon cheese burger was amazing and the onion rings were to die for but unfortunately the meal was barely warm. Greg offered us drinks or a sweet, I was driving so drinks were out of the question and we steer clear of sweets. So he graciously gave us a refund, something I’ve never been offered in a restaurant. Having said all that I would certainly return as the food is excellent, and the staff polite and helpful.

Garden at the rear is fantastic, Cocktail bar is brilliant...food good and great choice of beers..

First impression of the pub was not great, from the outside it looks nothing special. But inside ... lovely, with a fantastic outside area. Great food. 👍👍👍

Came for an early dinner whilst visiting the area. We each had bacon double cheeseburger, which came with fries. We were pleased to be informed it was ‘Burger Tuesday’ and so half price. Burgers were very good, and sides were good too. Amber provided excellent, prompt and friendly service. Recommended

Busy pub with a lively atmosphere. Covered outdoor areas with plenty of seating and service was exceptionally fast.

We visited the Whitetail Cocktail Bar at The Hart yesterday, what a beautiful hidden gem. The decor is gorgeous and a beautiful view over the Bowling Green from the terrace. Josh was fab, he looked after us so well and his Cocktails's were delicious. We will definitely be back 🥰

Very overpriced pub 2 drinks £16 plus you are,having a laugh will not be going there again

The staff were friendly and helpful and most importantly, made our dog really welcome. The food was lovely and was served really quickly. Would definitely go again.

Never had brunch here but wow it was absolutely delicious. Had the smashed avo on toast with a breakfast tea, the avocado came with sweet chilli jam underneath which added a little extra flavour, and I asked if I could swap an egg for something else (as 2 poached eggs was too much for me), and the staff were SO accommodating offering me other options instead so I opted for tater tots. (Same goes for my partner who wanted to swap something as well). 10/10 would come back for brunch!

Great food, well presented and very tasty. This place is always good from breakfast to evening meal.

Stayed in hotel round corner for anniversary walked around and come here for dinner the food was absolutely beautiful and the staff was very welcoming and attentive will deffo Come back !

Great cocktails great service by Josh &Dan! Definitely coming back! Music and atmosphere was really good would recommend!

10 / 10 breakfast and service by the staff Greg & Euan. Food was fabulous , drinks were super quick and refreshing. What a better way to a start of a hen party! These two defo deserve a massive pay rise for the service they have gone over and beyond! Thank you so much for making our time at The Hart a special one.

Enjoyable brunch with friends food was lovley and table service was amazing. Special thanks and credit to gregg who gave us a warm welcoming, attended to our every need and made us laugh. Such a delight to have someone who loves to serve their customers will definitely come again. Euan was very professional in looking after us with our food too such a lovely breakfast brunch to start off our hen party.

Absolutely amazing time here. Superb service from Greg and excellent drinks from Euan behind the bar. Highly recommend a visit here!

Always great food, ambience and beer.

Wow! Amazing place with amazing food and staff! Thank you 👍😊

Food was very good , cooked to perfection and very well presented Thank you

Back of the pub is an interesting crown green with excellent surface with sociable members

Tiny no parking signs are a great way to get people talking about your business.

Great place to meet for food and couple of drinks Good atmosphere will definitely go back

If I were the owner I would invest in better quality meat! This is how you get the customers to return rather than coming once. Other food apart from the meat was good.

No Bitter and NO chip butties. Love the place but it's strange at times.

Great pub great food great service. But could do with being able to booking a table both over the phone or on line. Food is not cheap but it is well worth the money

Stood at the bar waiting to be served. Bar staff to busy talking to each other. Waited a good 10mins no service

Helpful staff nice all weather outside space

Overpriced, tiny portions and bland food. £14 for a curry that was about 1/4 of a regular portion(if that), that would have been disappointing as a stater let alone a main, and barely had any flavour. No staff checked if the food was okay either. Cocktail selection looks pretty good.

Breakfast was absolutely banging, nice polite and friendly staff. Would recommend to everyone!

Poor service, was advised after buying drinks that we weren't allowed to take them into the cocktail lounge. After asking for spiced rum in a drink I was served a completely different spirit maybe the staff are training? Towards the end of the night I attempted to get a drink, regardless of being stood centre of the bar I saw 4 people get served before me when they'd got to the bar well after me. I was looked up and down a couple of times before these people were served before me so I decided to leave it at that and head to the gate! Poor first impression from a place that had already been slated by people I know, but now I know for myself

Fabulous meal. Great atmosphere and staff were welcoming and friendly.

Lovely refurbishment to the place. Should be busier than it is. The food was lovely and the menu choices are good.

It is a great addition to the town since it was refurbished. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere was lively. Recommend the chicken wings. Also had a few other dibbles, which were good.

Lovely place , lovely food but please please sort your heating out it's absolutely freezing ! Had to sit in my coat to eat ! When that front door opens a force 10 gale blows in !

Great Sunday Beef Roast, staff were great and very helpful and polite.

We went on a quiet Tuesday afternoon, and had the burgers, which were half price 😍👍 they were really good! It's a lovely place that I have driven past so many times but never been in ....well it was worth the stop now 😁👍

Friendly and welcoming staff. Very clean. Food overpriced for what you get. Overall I was left extremely disappointed.

I went for lunch today with my friends and wasn’t paying attention when ordering my gluten free meal…and forgot to say I needed it gluten free. After realising my mistake when my lunch was placed in front of me I quickly apologised and said I’d pay for another meal as it was my mistake, but the server was SO polite and friendly and assured me it was no issue and he’d change it to gluten free for me with no extra charge to me. When my gluten free meal arrived….it was DELICIOUS!!! SO amazing to have somewhere that offers gluten free AND it be tasty!!! Brilliant staff, brilliant atmosphere and brilliant food. Thank you so much…I will definitely recommend and be back again soon….(and will make sure I pay attention when ordering!!)

Nice friendly place staff fantastic

Single Disarano & coke from tap. Single Kraken rum & coke from tap.. Nineteen quid!!! Went back and queried the price only to be told it was correct. Won't be returning.

Six of us just had an amazing Sunday lunch here. Everything cooked to perfection and really delicious Our 4 year old was even treated to free ice cream and a mocktail- staff as always utterly brilliant

Popped in to have a quick drink with a client to be greated with a lovely smile from alex . She seemed to go above and beyond us happy and comfertable we had chicken wings and chips best light lunch iv had in a long time highly reconend and cant wait to see what the evening meal is like .

Waited nearly an hour for brunch ,too long ,grandson was hangry as by time brunch came was 12.15. More staff needed .

Was turned away because we was in work clothes. Go somewhere where you don’t get discriminated for working

Lovely atmosphere and food was delicious...didn't intend to have a pudding but it was certainly delicious!..Will definitely be going back. The burger looked amazing 👏 😋

Great place with a lovely refit. I marked the food and atmosphere as 4 stars but only so that I can see the service higher at 5. All the team were just great and so friendly

Great place very cosy warm and welcoming. Kind of place you can take a date but at the same time your mom or your mates very good food and excellent drinks selection. You pay more than anywhere else locally but it's 100% worth it love this place

Had two pints £5 each, great place now it's been revamped

Friendly, lively atmosphere. Nicely decorated, modern with a nod to tradition Only popped in for a drink . Had a gin and tonic . Served as you’d want it

Great place for a breakfast. Tasty food and coffees

I remember how it was before and it had been a while since I had been. Looks great now and a really nice place for a drink. Didn't try the food but will definitely be back.

Had brunch here on a Sunday. Food was lovely. Service good, well worth a visit.

Banging chicken wings. Great atmosphere in the pub and always good service from the staff. Never had bad food 👌🏾

I visit the hart often as it’s my local pub. All the staff are lovely but especially Meg who always goes the extra mile is very friendly and helps create a positive atmosphere.

Fantastic food and service. A real find!

Popped in for a pint. Can't wait to go back for food.

Came for a Sunday lunch - firstly, the prices are really quite steep. £17 for a Sunday lunch each, which I'm sorry to say was mostly cold. Only one carrot on my plate and the beef was so stringy. It all tasted okay but was generally a bit bland. We had dessert and waited 35 minutes for it to come out - a bit of a long wait for some puddings! It was fairly busy inside but the staff didn't really seem to know what they were doing. One of our meals was delayed by a good 5-10 minutes and they didn't have any mashed potato available - even though there were roast potatoes on offer! Overall, it was okay. Not sure I'd come back when I can have a cavery which is all hot and fresh at a cheaper price!

Lots to like about the 'new' Hart, nicely refurbished, well staffed, decent outdoor space as well. Just need to tweak the veggie food offerings a bit; vegan ISN'T vegetarian, and those of us who like butter, cream and cheese in our dishes REALLY miss them when we eat out these days. *UPDATE* Another food based visit, food sent back to kitchen a couple of times as unsatisfactory, but front of house did a GREAT job handling us, and overall not enough to put us off going back.

Had one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long-time. Piping hot and loved the tater tots. Reasonable pricing too.

Great to have a quality local with good food and drinks. Love calling in for midweek brunch. A firm favourite of all the family.

Daniels , best barman in the world. What a guy. Puts the rest to shame

A good place to go for breakfast, it was tasty and well thought out. I had American pancakes which was great. My son is vegan and had the vegan breakfast which was excellent. Service was friendly and the decor was contemporary. Would defo go again.

Relaxed and clean environment, with great food and crafted beer! We had a great night!

Surprisingly good. First time I've ever been there despite living in the area for 60years! My parents ran the Bell Inn 60years ago!

Had a breakfast there was outstanding ..lovely place to eat..

All good, great food and Blue Moon on tap - excellent!

Lovely atmosphere. AMAZING cocktails. Bit pricey but worth it. Havn't tried the food yet.

Great food and excellent service

Couldn't fault it, had a few drinks and a sharing platter. Not cheap but as they say you get what you pay for.

Excellent food. Nice cosy place to sit and chat.

Went for brunch on a Sunday and the food was 10/10! Staff were lovely and the vibe was very chilled. Would definitely go again!

Fantastic evening out. They’ve just launched a “50% off Burgers” offer, all day every Tuesday. Really delicious burgers & fantastic value. Will definitely come again!

We didn't eat, but lovely evening.

Great service and good food. The bloody Mary's are excellent.

Good breakfast and very good Bloody Mary

The cocktails, food, and place itself was beautiful and not a bad price at all and I’d come again in the daytime for that, but the one security guard stood outside the door is probably the rudest I’ve ever met, and I’ve seen him twice doing the same time. He singled me out from my partner and the couple in front, commented on my appearance as I looked different from those around me and asked for my ID, which was no problem, but then questioned my date of birth due to my appearance, not my age, and continued to laugh with the gentlemen next to him. It ruined the evening for me which was a real shame as The Hart is probably the nicest pub in Redditch :(

Lovely pub/restaurant, well renovated with a great atmosphere. Good location with a large free carpark. The outdoor section and cocktail bar are particularly nice. The food was fantastic, although portions on the smaller side the quality was clearly very good. Unfortunately the steaks were not all cooked as requested when served but they were still very enjoyable. Order at table facility was fast and efficient. Will definitely go again.

No booking nessasary. On arrival, we selected our meals and drinks. The menus had all the classics , deserts, and beers and an array of good sandwiches to select from. The table was clean and cutlery was in great condition. And had battery charger units installed into the chairs. The meal took 15 mins to arrive and was super tasty and rich. The stand out being the cabbage with the sauage and mash!! The price is a bit on the heavy side, but you definitely see in taste and presentation. Will definitely go again

Since the revamp last year, this is the first time I've set foot in the door. Very very friendly staff who were more than helpful to show us to our table, we didn't need to book but I'd advise booking on busy days I.e Fridays, Saturdays. The food surprisingly, was really good! Compared to how it was before the revamp, they've really stepped their game up. For pub food I would say it was a little bit pricey (£19.99 for a chicken burger with onion rings), but for the quality, I honestly couldn't be mad about it. Really enjoyed the evening there, its quite local for me so it's good to know there's a fresh new space serving good food, just down the road. Highly recommend.

Like this place but we went to cocktail bar and I don't like the idea of scan barcode to order drinks this takes away the customer interaction when I go out for evening I want to have human interaction, need to rethink that part we not all stuck in the digital world need humans to talk to.

Great pub , nice atmosphere, outside seating .

Lovely place to grab a Guinness! Great atmosphere as always
