The Hedgehog Vintage Inn in Lichfield

We came to the Hedgehog for Xmas dinner , after having a heart transplant and been in hospital most of the year this dinner was meant to be celebration of Xmas and me getting better , however the dinner service was terrible the beetroot starter tastes like mud , the drink service to the table was very slow and the food service was very slow , the staff seemed unwelcome and then when we asked for a drink at 515 pm the responde we got was you know we are closing soon!!!!! Then to finish of 4 of my family has sickness in the night all who had the fish starter !!! I have emailed the manager and called about my complaint but he’s hasn’t even bothered to email or call back , totally shocking at nearly 700 pounds for a family meal

Come for Xmas meal food was late but unfortunately very busy but when you ask for a drink and they don’t even say last orders is a bit disappointing, on the plus side Kati was amazing serving our food. Thank you

We had Christmas lunch today at the Hedgehog and thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff and atmosphere were very welcoming! The food was well presented and delicious! Will definitely consider for next year!

Lovely ambience, very welcoming. Superb service from Chloe, nice again, careful consideration given to my daughter’s allergies 😀

Chose this place for a special lunch, we arrived early and the staff were so kind and helpful taking us to a table immediately. Staff we all so bubbly and knowledgeable order to service length was about right it gave us chance to chat, and the food when it came was beautifully cooked and very tasty. It was also easy to leave no hanging round waiting to pay our bill what a wonderful experience all round

we had a table of 10 to celebrate an 18th birthday party - food was incredible for all and Charlie who served us was a credit to you!! big thanks to her for looking after us all so well

We ate here a couple of weeks ago and had a great evening. It’s a lovely cozy pub and despite the fact it was busy and we hadn’t booked they found a table for us. The staff, especially the manager on duty that day were genuinely friendly and helpful. The food was delicious but their menu doesn’t have enough vegetarian/vegan options. The service was a bit slow but not to the point of complaint. The only downside for us was the price, it’s very expensive for people like us who cannot afford to eat out very often and have to be careful when choosing where to go. We have had our occasional meals out ruined by poor service and terrible food but not here and if the prices are not a problem for you I would happily recommend that you give them a try.

A short notice booking, but I didn't realise that there was a time limit on the table. However the service was extremely slow from providing the menu to bringing the sweet. I was very disappointed when time was called on the table with the presentation of the bill before the sweet was finished.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and fantastic service from Isaac!

Great food (we had the 3 course festive menu) and great service by Isaac definitely will be returning again soon 😋 thank you

Good food and drinks and service was excellent by Chloe

Lovely xmas dinner Staff very friendly and attentive

Brilliant food and service at a good price

A nice place for a celebration or quiet meal, menu varied, service efficient, friendly staff. We were not hurried away.

Lovely food for our Christmas visit to Lichfield to see the cathedral and Christmas trees

Amazing service and awesome pizzas - would recommend 👌

Very friendly staff and a pleasant environment. Excellent service. Great food. Competitively priced.

Really enjoyed our family meal. Thank you 😊

Waited over 1 hrs for food sent steak(£21.0) back as cold , and it was returned and still cold , by this time family had eaten theirs, then to get a new steak not cooked as requested. And had eaten side order while waiting.. Although they apologised it ruined evening , a discount was given but that's not what is needed, more detail to food and service from kitchen, waitress was nice but it's not her fault, we won't be going their again

Excellent service and food - really organised for a party of 22 of us. Thank you!

Lovely pub and hotel in this beautiful city, walkable to pubs, shops and restaurants. Very big room, comfortable bed and very clean.

Attentive and pleasant service. Food and coffee was excellent

What a great meal we have had today. Good service from excellent waiting staff. A great start to the festive celebrations. Thank you.

Nice pub, good service, would recommend.

A good place but the food has gone down in quality. Vegetables, including roast potatoes, fried. The food is not up to scratch. But a nice place.

Lovely Sunday lunch and service! Special thanks to Chloe

First time at The Hedgehog but won't be our last. Very impressed by food and service.

Class service. Everyone was so kind. The stand out was the pork belly and the cheesecake

We come with our dog and reciced a very warm welcome. Sat next to an open fire. And provided a blanket for the dog water and treats all free of charge. The food was fantastic 😋 including the puddings and lots of drinks to choose from. Very nicely decorated, giving a very warm atmosphere. Campervan friendly if having a meal or drink. We will definitely be visiting again. 😊

Katie made our time there really lovely, she was nice and approachable and ensured the food we had was 10/10. Thank you!

Great service by Katie. Thank you x

Beautiful steaks, and the service from Katie was even better! So attentive, approachable and friendly, definitely made our evening a night a remember! Thank you ❤️

Excellent food, very tasty and great service by Isaac

The evening was a genuinely enjoyable one,a dinner for 6 birthday celebration. The ambience in the dining area was one of quiet,relaxing professionalism and the food was delicious. Particularly noteworthy was the customer service delivered by the waitress during the meal,one of attentiveness, patience, thoroughly friendly,helpful staff and a very personable experience to compliment the delicious food. A memorable meal in a room of pleasant surroundings and decor, with excellent service and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. Would recommend to family and friends, will definitely be back in future for group meals, thanks for such a pleasurable experience.

Great food, lovely place to visit

Came in for breakfast. Served by Justyna who went above and beyond during our visit. Excellent customer service. Food was well cooked, fresh and very presentable. Looking forward to visiting again

We Went here as a group of 20.for a birthday meal.pre ordered food.great service, lovely restaurant, old building with traditional pub style decor, food was very good.

Food was wonderful, great value for money and Katie was very professional, helpful and friendly. We'll be back 😊

Excellent Sunday lunch, very pleasant service

Food came out hot, service was quick and the staff were all amazing. One staff member stood out the most though. Issac went above and beyond for us, and made our experience perfect!

Lovely food. Good selection on the menu. Friendly and efficient service. Great location and lovely venue.

Amazing service again! Second visit this month and the staff are superb. Was greeting by a lovely young lady before being served by Bradley who went above and beyond

Amazing building and atmosphere made even better by our server, Bradley. Will come again.

Come on England! Bradley is a legend

DON'T HEDGE YOUR BETS ON THIS PLACE. We had booked a 7:30 table at the Hedgehog (29.10.24) for a Birthday meal. Prior to taking our orders we were told that the 'signature burger' was not available which was unfortunate as the birthday girl had decided that' was what she wanted. Anyway, after a few minutes we decided on 3 x beef bourguignon's and 1 x fish cake. We ordered a sharing platter as a starter along with some calamari. A few minutes later the waitress came back and told us that there but no beef bourguignons left which was quite annoying as myself and my son were really looking forward to it and now the birthday girl's second choice was also not available. Whilst trying to decide what other dishes we were going to choose we were then told that one of the items on the sharing platter (the pulled pork and apple bonbons) were also not available so had to choose another alternative. A short while later whilst still trying to decide what we were going to have for our mains the sharing platter and the calamari arrived..... unfortunately both meals were cold to the touch!! It was at this point we decided we wanted nothing more to do with this restaurant. We finished our drinks which I insisted were free at this point and left. How can such a large establishment (somewhere we have been a couple of times in the past) owned by one of the largest pub chains (M&B) get it so wrong. There is obviously something seriously wrong with your system. Surely in today's high-tech world every waiter or waitress should have the ability to know exactly what is or isn't on the menu prior to taking people's orders without having to keep going backwards and forwards to the customer saying menu items are not available once orders have been placed. Also why can't you keep enough stocks of every meal to ensure this doesn't happen. Not only was it a special birthday meal but we had travelled 30 minutes to get to this restaurant. What a very poor and disappointing experience. Luckily we went to a pub a few minutes away called the Bowling Green. They managed to get us a table and provide us with hot food that we had chosen first time. Ironically this pub is also owned by M&B!!!

Awful experience! 10 minutes after taking our order, they told us that we couldn’t have 3 of the 4 main meals ordered as they had ‘ran out’. If this was the case, why not tell us this prior to ordering, very poor, incompetent service. To add insult to injury, when they brought out our starter, it was cold so obviously wasn’t freshly made. Extremely disappointing as we’d travelled 30 minutes to get there & our visit was for a family members birthday. Would definitely not recommend & advise people to avoid this place. The Bowling Green, just a 3 minute drive away from here, offers much better service, food & value for money.

Went there for Coffee with my Dad . Good service and polite staff

Wonderful family meal, service was excellent and super friendly. Steak perfectly cooked, haloumi skewer lovely and kids meal very good.

Perfect service and great food! Good atmosphere and really great staff🤩🙌🫶 Our second visit, and we're coming back!!

Katie was professional, warming and attentive. The chef that cooked the pork belly should have a standing ovation as it was exquisite. I was only passing through for the day but this place is a must.

Had a lovely family lunch for my dad’s birthday, the food and the service was incredible. Katie our server was great and really helpful.

Had a nice meal at the Hedgehog. What really made it was the attention of the staff from Justina the manager to Chloe who served us and Fred behind the bar. Despite being really busy they were all very attentive and friendly. Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday when we are staying again overnight

Lovely place with great food and even better service! Bradley was very attentive and friendly, please pass on my gratitude to him

Had a lovely spontaneous dinner this evening, amaizng signature burger, absolutely salivating. Bradley was an incredible server too.

Amazing service and food. Served by Bradley who was really attentive and helpful. Couldn't ask for more.

Really lovely food, our server Bradley was awesome 😊 , very attentive and very kind. will definitely return.

Great service from Bradley thank u! X

Excellent food and service. Bradley served our table and couldn't have asked for more. There's a reason Hedgehog is our go-to place for a family meal. A+++

Lovely food, lovely fire going 😊, lovely atmosphere and an awesome server named Bradley. Will definitely be back.....

Honestly an amazing experience. Food was delicious and our server Bradley was brilliant. Definitely improves recently.

Nice place, amazing food and nice staff.

Having reported an issue with the bathroom in our room. We were surprised and appreciative of a free drink. Charlie was a bundle of fun and advised us well on the choice of food. It was a second evening of an pleasant experience of the restaurant.

Food was excellent good amount of everything on Sunday dinner only thing is the roast potatoes and parsnips where hard couldn't eat the parsnips roast potatoes seemed like they were batch cooked earlier in the morning and left

Friendly staff good service fantastic food

This is what great pubs are about. Beautifully well presented, lovely log fire a good selection of ales and great servicce. Menu a little disappointing in it's choice but what we had was tasty. Well worth a visit.

Food was lovely, vegan options available. Highly recommend!

We stopped here after a 5 hour trek for a drink and a meal. We were a group of 15 and being partly covered in dirt after the trek opted to sit outside where it was warm and sunny. There was a good choice of spirits and beers, and the food selection was wide ranging including vegetarian and vegan options.

Been her multiple times, food has never let us down and always exemplary service, Alina was great!

Fantastic experience, Alina’s service was impeccable and her attention to detail regarding my daughter’s allergies was very reassuring, highly recommend this venue for others who may have allergies ❤️❤️

When I booked online I asked if chips were cooked with other meat or fish products but had no reply. Tonight when I asked was told yes. This meant my meal was from the deserts menu. Vegan option. Vegan options on main menu very poor.

Lovely place, room was excellent, pub/restaurant busy so book a table. Our waitress was fabulous. Breakfast was good, I asked for 2 eggs and bacon, excellent. Coffee was awful, very "stewed", orange juice tasted funny. I would definitely stay there again but not have the coffee or juice at breakfast.

Good quality food and perdect serving size with wide range of choices. great service with a friendly helpful and warm welcome

Thank you to Matt and staff at the Hedgehog for a lovely lunch and reliable service for a group of `Clementi` followers on 28th September . It was a most enjoyable and memorable occasion and was very much appreciated by all. Thank you!

A group of twelve members of the Muzio Clementi Association of Barcelona visited The Hedgehog in Lichfield, Clementi's home from 1828 to 1831, an important place in the biography of this musician. We were very well received and enjoyed the excellent food and atmosphere. Thanks to the staff and also to Janette Horton for her help and recommendation.

We had a family meal for a birthday. The food was amazing and great portions. We were served by Justyna who really looked after the birthday girl and went out of her way to make the experience memorable for us all. Good pricing. Great selection of food and drink. Would recommend and would go again.

Food was good and Chloe looked after us very well

We visited hedgehog on 2 October, it was for my husband’s birthday. We have visited many time before but this visit was time was not good , we were seated by a young man and there were three staff on altogether. One of the young men were being trained, so we sat there for 30 mins and still not had drink, the two other young men were running around and I will just say I do not blame them . I no how all this work because I work in pub myself! But you don’t put new member of staff on with no one to assist him and put pressure on other two people. We walked out in the end , and was very disappointed.

Warm welcome, food was delicious

Staff fantastic and so polite Food was amazing

Dropped in for lunch. Service from everyone was excellent and very friendly. Food was also great and served quickly. Will definitely return. Thank you

Went as a large group for a birthday and was served by Charlie. Absolutely made the experience and was such a lovely, lovely waitress, so patient and attentive and so fun! Would return just for her <3

Lovely service by Katie and excellent food as always.

Lovely staff, warm welcome, much improved on my last visit two years ago, food was amazing, and we were sat in the dog friendly area. Had the beef rib bourgingon and pork belly. Cooked to perfection. Thank you, I'll not leave it so long to visit again this time x

Very good food, got a last minute table, away from the bar, dog friendly and very pleasant evening. Chloe the waitress provided excellent service.

Rooms fine.Food good but long wait as too few staff who through no fault of theirs were struggling with high demand. Several items listed on menu were not available Waited over an hour for food to arrive.

Called in 21st September, not booked in & Chloe found us a table. Lovely food & Drinks & great service by Chloe

Cannot fault them absolutely perfect

Nice restaurant to catch up with friends. It's not cheap, but the food is decent.

Great place for food at reasonable prices in lovely atmosphere.

Lovely upmarket place with lovely staff and food

Jacob was lovely, great service and enjoyed our meals :)

amazing food drinks and wonderful staff

Great place to stay and eat. The food was really good and the service was bang on

We dropped in for a bite of lunch on our way home from Manchester to Surrey. We hadn't booked, but the staff were welcoming and found us a lovely table in a quietish part of the restaurant. They were attentive and very friendly. Hubby and I both ordered skewers with chips and slaw. I had Lamb the hubby had chicken. Both were cooked perfectly and the slaw had pineapple and lime with it and was delicious as well as healthy - well kind of! The chips were massive, old school chips, cooked beautifully and piping hot. The bill was very reasonable given the great service and good fresh food of generous portion. If we are ever in the area again, we will be sure to stop in. Also there is lots of parking.

Haven’t been for years but it’s been so lovely. Food was gorgeous and excellent portions and came quickly. Drinks lovely too, they even made a lime & soda look nice ! Isaac was such a lovely and good waiter, attentive, friendly and on the ball- couldn’t ask for more thank you!

Lovely Sunday lunch. Excellent table staff.

I had the best meal since I can remember, absolutely lovely, we will definitely return
