The Little Owl in Solihull

Had great service by Phoebe who was very friendly and helpful. Food was great and we had a lovely chilled evening. Would highly recommend the signature burger was awesome.

Was great food in a cosy environment, Paula was a wonderful host! Would highly recommend to anybody and everybody in the area!

Absolutely love the little owl, we are regulars, the food is amazing, they had a new dish in tonight it was Duck, the most wonderful meal I’ve had, it was fantastic, the staff are so friendly, Phoebe was our waitress tonight, she is so lovely and friendly and very attentive, highly recommend

We have visited this pub today lovely, staff were very unfriendly like they could not be bothered to be there today, next was the expensive food for the portions they do offer, we had a margarita pizza with 2 extra toppings which was mushrooms (3 full ones chopped) £1’5 extra and some bacon which probably was a quarter of slice for £1’5£ also, onions rings portion was around 5 onions for £4’25 and some chunky chips about 8 pieces for £4’25 total price came to £26 as they do charged service fee of £4’22 for what they do serve and the poor customer service I won’t be returning and I do not recommended to visit this pub. Definitely worth it to drive 10 minutes to find other better options which are better value for money. Happy new years 2025!

Waited over an hour for food. Told to sit at a table that wasn't reserved. Steak plonked on table . After 10 minutes, went to bar and asked for cutlery. Staff plocked it on bar . Asked for condiments. Plonked on table . Staff party came in said we were at there table and could we move. We said no reserved at this table. They said , we're Staff and it's ours !! 2 male members of staff very rude . They wouldn't like there grandma to be spoken to like that . Not a nice experience at all .

Cosy in with an open fire and great food, staff were very friendly

I love it there and always delicious food. It’s a very cosy atmosphere

Just had the Xmas buffet for our works event. The service was great and all of the food options were delicious. Thank you.

My wife and I have been using the Little Owl for a few years now and have never been disappointed with the food or the service.

Stayed in Holiday inn so popped next door for tea. Would throughly recommend. We were served by Fiona. I had belly pork and cheese board, other half went for beef and cheesecake. Both of us questioned our choices as we saw other plates being served, as they all looked delicious. Can't fault our choices though. Reasonably priced and well worth a visit.

Great food and top service by Sophia who was attentive.

4 guys from Northern Ireland staying next door in the hotel we used the pub to eat and drink in the food was fantastic, staff couldn’t do enough for us as we hadn’t booked anything I manage to get a chat with the chef brilliant guy very helpful with our menu Will be back next year for sure

Great hidden pub,relaxing atmosphere and 2 real fires,warm cosy and staff are great,dogs allowed so that's a bonus for me

Amazing food, great service & great staff. Always happy to help, can't fault it!!

A big shout out to Fiona. She is a waiter at the little owl. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Food is always fantastic. I have food allergies and feel comfortable and confident eating here. Thank you 😊

Great food at good prices and efficient service

Really enjoyed our Sunday evening visit. I had a child's Sunday roast, which I was pleased about. The food was OK and plentiful. Others on the table ranged from steaks to Sunday roasts - veg was still hard, which let the roast experience down and steaks was over cooked for liking. The burger was very tasty tho

Lovely meal, portions too big for my 87 year old mom, men's loos need a freshen up, if you're paying good money needs to be a bit smarter.

Great food, good service. Must book in advance. Very easy to find and easy access from nearby hotel.

Firstly our server Paula was just fantastic, she was totally on the ball, knew the menu well and checked on us frequently. The food was superb and some changes made to the burger to suit my daughter. Really lovely evening, lovely food and we returned on the Saturday evening for another family dinner as we were there for the weekend. We have visited twice before and are never disappointed at the service and delicious food! We will be back

Disappointing. Feels like staff is doing you a favour. Have to ask for cutlery, have to get up and ask for salt and pepper things that should be on the table when you site down. No service during the meal to check on anything else needed. They could sell so much more just doing the basics right. I could have had another drink but left due to the bad service. I had a burger which was average.

We visited during lunch. The food was nice & the atmosphere was cosy with the nice fires & other patrons.

Comfortable Pub. Carpet marked in areas Food good and tasty but small portions for the money paid. Sold out of the items we wanted. No beef or turkey. Wasn't checked on "Is meal ok" so no option to ask for extra gravy.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere! We all enjoyed our food. Most of us had the Sunday roasts which were all delicious. Great deserts too! Excellent service from the waitress! Will definitely go back here again!

My brothers birthday dinner!!my little sis and myself went yesterday 2nd November. The meal was truly SUPERB!!And our waitress AMY WAS OUTSTANDING!!

Fiona was our server. She is a lovely lady who couldn't do enough for us. Very pleasant with a wonderful smile. Food was plentiful, delicious and hot plates.

Great service. Fiona, our waitress was very attentive and nothing was any trouble. One reason why I keep coming back for the third night running. Could have gone elsewhere.

Food was really tasty, although they could do with more vegan options. The previous menus was more extensive

Arrived without a booking , no tables available until 1 HR 30mins. Went somewhere else

Lovely pub with a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly, especially our server, Fiona. Really nice food. We recommend the sticky sharer starter.

Beautiful beef and halloumi skewers. Service was really quick on a fairly busy evening. The waitress was really attentive but didn't catch her name.

Great little pub with gluten free options and can be flexible . Check out their app though as we got 40% of mains through it. Also Make sure u enter pub carpark and not get stuck in holiday inn one, as holiday inn will charge you, so stick to the thru road. The barrier has a coded key pad, just call the pub for the code or use the other entrance. Definitely got the feel of a country pub and great place to relax once your in there.

Nice little pub next door to Holiday Inn. It was very busy the Saturday night we dined, the tables next to us were very loud and were clearly trying to out do each other, which made it quite unpleasant not being able to speak to each other as we could not hear and gave up repeating everything every time one or us spoke. As this was our first visit to The Little Owl I can't comment if this is normal of the place or not. The Service was very slow, even when the pub started to empty out around 10pm. The food however was excellent and was well worth the wait. It was reasonably priced and the portions were good. Overall if the Pub had been quieter it would of been an enjoyable evening.

Went for late lunch so it was not busy busy but people were having a good time anyway

A most excellent pub within very easy reaching of the NEC. We use every time we go the there

Phoebe was great and really helpful 😊

Excellent food, service was great even though the place was rammed, excellent value, highly recommend

Gorgeous pub! We come every year after the horse of the year show. Lovely vegetarian dishes, everyone was pleased. Pheobe was lovely, helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and the drinks served.

We have dinned at The little owl before and have always enjoyed the meal and service but this time we was a little disappointed we found the food to be "like my mom's when I was late home from work" hot but baked up. Although we both did eat the majority of our meal. I had to go look for our server, they didn't come over as usual and ask if everything was to our satisfaction nor was we asked if we would like a drinks refill or offered the desert menue. I had to go to the bar for our bill, and felt that we could have left without paying had we had not been honest..... The little Owl is a lovely place, quirky, local, and usually a fantastic experience but for reasons not common Sunday just didn't match to previous visits.

Not just saying it but the food AND service was amazing! Such fresh food and great portion sizes and such value for money. Staff were great and very friendly! Cant recommend enough! Our service by Phoebe was second to non a very warm and welcoming server!

Had the Sunday roast, roast pots weren't very nice, they were chewy all our table left some of their potatoes and not enough gravy.

Phoebe, was a lovely hostess and served with a smile all night.

Lovely food, drink and atmosphere. Our waitress was Paula who was very helpful.

Good food but very slow on the service.

Food was superb, atmosphere was great. Service not so much, waited 20mins to be served after our initial drinks order, then waited again after our food to be asked if we require the desert menu... Then due to us waiting that long to pay I went upto the main bar area to pay.. Need more staff !!!!!

This is the first time we have flown from Birmingham and we're booked in to the premier Inn. Prior to our stay we were informed that they were refurbishing the restaurant etc. So we booked the Little Owl. All I can say is if we fly from Birmingham again then we will most definitely dine at the Little Owl again. Good service, good food and a good atmosphere.

Lovely meal fabulous restaurant and great service from Paula Fish was lovely and crispy!

Very efficient and friendly staff, made to feel very welcome, food delicious, hot and service very efficient, Phoebe was a delight making our visit very pleasant... If we are in this area anytime would love to visit again & would highly recommend.

Thank you to Phoebe and the rest of the staff. Great dinner and a lot of gluten free options! I had fish and chips and halloumi fries.

Good ambiance friendly staff and loved the food, served by Fiona who was very helpful and made sure everything went just right for me , definitely will visit again

Lovely pub, beautifully decorated with a warm atmosphere, and it is spotlessly clean too. The food was absolutely delicious well presented hot and very tasty. The staff are very welcoming. Our server was Fiona, she was really lovely, attentive and kind, with a very friendly and professional manner. We highly recommend The Little Owl and ate here on two consecutive occasions as it was so fab.

Fiona was great, very attentive and helpful. Made a business dinner stress free and enjoyable. We will ne back, thanks Fiona!

We have been served by this waitress a few times now (Irish lady, but I do not know her name I am afraid) and she is always very friendly, officiant and professional. The food was great and the time that we waited for food was reasonable for the time of day and how busy the restaurant was.

Great roast! Lovely pub and atmosphere, Amy C was fantastic! Good value and will return Fresh food and thoroughly enjoyed the night

Visited this pub while staying at the holiday inn, Friday night I couldn’t fault a thing. However on Saturday they had a staff member called Shannon working and she clearly didn’t want to be there, had a terrible attitude from the start. Will not be returning nor recommend to anyone. When the manager was approached about this he didn’t seem to care either, letting her stand behind him mouthing off. Not very professional in my opinion.

Great staff, food choice and very tasty most importantly (few had fish and chips which was very fresh, pizza tastes great and parmigiana was awesome) all round a good evening in a quiet spot, next to where we were staying

Staying at the holiday inn? Then stay there.. Do not use the little owl. "Duck" Pizza if you can really call it that,due to the lack of duck,was also extremely bland. Overpriced for such a small portion. Girl that served the food was incredibly rude,clearly needs some people skills. I will not be returning again. However the Holiday inn,we're very professional and couldn't be more caring. So stay there as others have mentioned.

Had an amazing time would happily recommend to anyone staying close by

All the food was lovely except the vegetables, oh my God I couldn't even cut them with my knife, I did mention this to the waitress and she said she keeps telling him they are too hard, but obviously he doesn't listen, it's such a shame as I would of been a regular customer if it wasn't for this. If elderly people were to eat here, they would not be able to chew these vegetables, I cannot stand hard veg, please cook them longer and you may get more customers.

Our second visit in a week. Great service, lovely staff and the food is hot and well prrsentef

Used the pub for 3 evenings last week while staying next door at hotel. Food absolutely great, well presented, tasty. Service was brilliant, staff friendly especially Fiona. Will certainly come back again.

Eaten there for the past 3 evenings as a family could not fault the service, quality of food and atmosphere

Went today, 4th of August, with family. We had lovely food and excellent service. The Little Owl is a lovely old pub with a great atmosphere.

Nice pub, but what I ordered wasn't great. The prawns were overcooked and the bread for the hummus was really hard.

I have been here a few times now and can't fault the food or the service at all.

Update, good food, reasonable prices, efficient service, plenty of parking, nice "traditional pub" ambience. First time but definitely not the last. In an area where there is a lot of pub grub choice, this stands out as a very good experience.

Great atmosphere, great choice, great food, fairly priced. Had a lovely afternoon catching up with friends, Would definitely go back, need to try more choices..

Little Owl is one of my favorites. Beautiful pub - serving Birmingham's best sunday roast!

The little owl is a brilliant place for us. It was the first place we met years ago. To us, it's still as good now as it was then. Give it a try, it's great food, a good atmosphere and very friendly staff

Great burger but little slow as was very busy but was very nice thanks

Lamb main rip off and terrible.

Great food, above average prices. A little noisy as there were small children shouting during evening meal. The app with reward stamps is useless as the staff member conned me out of using the stamp for a free cocktail - not earth shattering I know, but I was left feeling embarrassed.

Amazing food and great atmosphere!

Louise and Ruth were great hosts! Good was delicious cooked by the amazing Ellis

Spent a lovely afternoon here having a girly lunch with bubbles 🥂 Food was fabulous, service was attentive without being intrusive, with the sunniest waitress ever Phoebe in her amazing sunflower dress 🌻 She made our afternoon 😊

Calm, foods good and staff are great, just a little of a ling delay between starter and main.

Lovely friendly place. Food excellent. This was our first visit will be back.

Lovely pub, fabulous food, very friendly, would recommend

We have been here quite a few times and have been very fortunate to have had the same waitress Fiona serve our table she is without doubt the most exceptional waitress we have ever encountered the Little owl is very lucky to have her !! Thank you Fiona

Brilliant service from the Lovely Fiona who recommended dishes from the menu, and was very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and nice atmosphere in the pub.

Good food. Fantastic waitress Fiona, was totally chill (with confidence rather than ignorance) with my son's allergies, which is a godsend when it comes to putting myself at ease as well as not making him feel like he's the inconvenience of a lifetime. Will be visiting again!

A small English pub, very good food and drinks, the service quality is also excellent! We've been to Birmingham 3 times already, but we've always come here.

I popped here after work with colleagues for some drinks. Although I didn't have any food, which I will next time, the pub is very friendly. Only downside is no shops nearby but to be fair, I'm not complaining. Great place though.

My main the lamb was lovely, I really enjoyed it. However my friends burgers had a fly, I understand completely that it’s very warm and flies are always around so we didn’t want to make a fuss, just made the lady behind the bar aware. A little after we ordered dessert, 40 minutes pass and still nothing, we did have other plans so I made the lady behind the bar aware that we still had not received our desserts after 40 minutes and we couldn’t wait any longer as we had other plans. She said she checked with the kitchen and the receipt printer for the desserts had ran out of paper and nobody had changed it. Unfortunately this is not good enough, I am an understanding person and knew better than to take it out on the lady behind the bar as I knew it wasn’t her fault. I do commend her as she was lovely and very apologetic. Sadly it isn’t enough to make us want to return.

Just been for dinner at the restaurant. Decided to go as it was the other half’s birthday. Booked online and arrived on time. Was seated in a place where the sun was burning my back so asked to be moved. This was the start of the terrible service that we received. You could tell, even though it wasn’t busy in the restaurant, that our request to be moved was met with reluctance. The attitude of this person, was one of annoyance and kind of set the standard for the rest of the time there. However we were moved. After 15 minutes we were asked if we wanted to order drinks. They arrived another 15 minutes later. We then had to wait another 10 minutes to order our food. Finally, after 40 minutes our food arrived. It was served and the waitress said enjoy your meal. Only problem was half of my dinner was missing. After waiting 5 minutes to see if my remaining half of my dinner would arrive I asked the waitress for the rest, which then arrived. This is not the first time that we have eaten here but probably the worst time that we have done. Slow service, even though it wasn’t busy and painfully awful service. I will say the food when it did arrive was lovely and as such the reason why we went there. However considering the service received to celebrate a birthday has made me think again about ever going there again.

Great little gasto pub, lively surroundungs, goid staff in restaurant and bar. Nice menu and a goid range if drinks, wouldxrecommend have been several times this year foid excellent

Lovely pub, great service from very helpful sand friendly staff

Staying nearby for work, found this awesome place next to my hotel. Brilliant service, great atmosphere and one of the best burger meals I ever had! Absolutely lush food, plus the service, not to be missed. Here tomorrow two I think😉 Do visit you won't be disappointed!

Excellent place for afternoon meal great prices wonderful service with a smile and Excellent food well worth a visit 😀

Great to see such a busy pub on a Tuesday evening! Great buzz and food was still served quickly and was delicious… first time trying the feta salad & wrap with a skewer rather than slaw and chips and couldn’t believe tasty it was. Fab place

Very good signature smash burger. The rest of the food was also good, but not memorable. Nice service

We ate here twice whilst visiting NEC. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good selection of veggie options on the menu. We'll come again.

What a fantastic food! Lovely atmosphere and reasonably priced. If you are staying in nearby Holiday Inn express it is better to eat here than in hotel.

Food was delicious and and very well made. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely one of my new go-to places when visiting Birmingham

Great food (especially the fish and chips) and service Phoebe our server was brilliant

Great food and great service recommend the place

Delicious food and Phoebe is amazing!

Buffet for our group of 20, excellent food and plenty of it, good quality, great variety and all dietary requirements were catered for. Staff were brilliant aa well and the atmosphere was really good. Everyone had a great night. Highly recommend

Absolutely incredible little pub! We weren't expecting much with it being so out of the way and the only choice for our hotel but we were pleasantly surprised. The service was quick and really friendly. For how amazing the food is, we would expect a much more expensive menu but the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food! We visited on our first night and had an incredible meal. The pork belly was one of the best meals I've had! With a really great selection there is something for everyone. We had different plans for night two but suggested to some friends that we come back here and had another great meal then! Unfortunately we aren't often in the area but if we're staying close again we will definitely visit for another meal.

Always good food and service, lovely restaurant and surroundings Went again last night and absolutely fantastic. Great food a service by Sophia. Had the chicken skewers wonderful. 10 stars out of 5.
