Overall a good experience like the many times I’ve been here in the past. Phoebe was an absolute gem! The only slight disappointment was that my pork belly came with broccoli instead of green beans as on the menu, but they redeemed themselves with the brownie

En fait quand on réside à l'Holiday Inn à côté on n'a pas trop le choix... La décoration est typiquement pub anglais par contre j'ai trouvé le service assez nul. Les serveuses font la gueule et on attend très longtemps avant d'être pris en charge. Ma pizza était sucrée, les locaux doivent trouver ça "amazing" mais en fait ce n'est pas bon. Le prix est dans le standard local. Ça doit être sympa en terrasse mais pour ma part ça a été une mauvaise expérience. PS : m'a bière était bonne !

The family really enjoyed their food too and it is all so reasonably priced for the quality of the food! Thank you little owl for a lovely experience as not only was I celebrating Easter Sunday but it I had been ill and unable to see my mum and my kids due to illness on Mother’s Day so we were also celebrating that.

Paula was pleasant, polite and just seemed to always be there just as we needed another drink or other attention. Good at anytime but this was brilliant on what was clearly an exceedingly busy Saturday night. Thanks Paula and all the Little Owl Team.

I recently stayed in the Holiday Inn Express for a 4 day exhibition at the NEC. I ate here on my own the first night and was greeted and served by Millie, a very pleasant young lady, I had the sea bass and t was delicious. I took my colleagues the following evening and we had our evening meal here three nights running, the service and food was again, delicious. I did not have to ask for a drink, Millie remembered, and it was on the bar waiting for me, now that is service. I would highly recommend The Little Owl, and would eat there more often if I lived closer, I would also recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment. Until next time. Kind regards Steve

Popped into here today for the first time for lunch with my wife. So glad we did. What a lovely pub. Food was excellent. We both had the Fish & Chips - Awesome. Their cappuccino coffees were outstanding. Place was quiet when we arrived but quickly got a little busier. They had a lovely roaring log fire which really added to the atmosphere of the place and was much needed as the weather was miserable outside. The food was on the pricier side, but the quality and ambiance was worth it. The service was great. Toilets were first rate also. Definitely coming here again.

Ate here a few times whilst staying at the Holiday Inn next door. The food is excellent, only complaint is they don't seem to like serving deserts. The main meal comes out in 5 minutes flat, but I had to ask where my crumble was after 40 mins, that was quicker than the almost an hour it took to get my ice cream earlier in the week.
