The Malt House in North Warwickshire

Very disappointing,Staff more concerned with their mobile phones than the Customers and food very average.Went for Sunday Lunch,came out 10.mins after ordering which was very fast so instantly thought it was all probably microwaved.Roast potatoes like bullets,vegetables soft and overcooked and Meat very poor quality and tasteless and gravy disgusting.Not one of the Staff were bothered to enquire what we thought of the Meal.Could not wait to go but even then we had to go up to the Bar and pay,no Staff bothered to come to Table.Would not recommend to anyone, completely out of their depth,need some experienced Staff in there for starters.

Went here for a midweek treat and to trial for my birthday meal with the family, big mistake but glad it wasn’t my birthday meal! The menu looks amazing with a huge variety which meant there would have been something for us all and I found it quite difficult to choose but ended up playing it safe with a Balti, or so I thought….we had poppadoms with dips to start and I ordered a mushroom Balti with a nan and other half had a mixed grill. The poppadoms were nice and fresh and the dips were tasty. Other half’s grill came out not sizzling and looked rather dry but he ate it. As you can see from my ‘Balti’ it didn’t look appetising at all. The sauce resembled that of one of those shop brought jars and the flavour and I use that term loosely was nothing like a Balti. Decided I’d try and give it a go but after a few dips with the nan bread I was done. The mushrooms tasted like fried mushrooms you have on a fry up and peppers in a Balti?!?!! Never in my life have I had peppers in a mushroom Balti and I have had a few in my time coming from Brum the home of the Balti! Advised the waiter to inform the manager and chef it was the worst Balti I’ve ever had in my whole life and he couldn’t be more apologetic. The manager came over and he also apologised and offered me something else from the menu but I was past eating at this point. He was insistent I had some and offered a veg platter to take away which I accepted which was a nice gesture but again I wasn’t overly impressed so needless to say first and last visit to this establishment. It’s a TripAdvisor 3.5 for a reason, find somewhere else!

The service was excellent. The beef was tough...fish tasteless but the turkey was good. It was cold and needed the heating on too.

Good variety on menu , some food was great and some adequate. Drinks choice very limited. Wrong drinks orders served, with no comment. However the toilets were a disgrace. No lock on door and the whole unit wobbled. Poorly placed hand dryer. And before you go check the hygiene reports.

This is the 3rd visit and we have been very impressed with the lite bite menu. Plates of food very generous and tasty. We have had different meals and they have all been of very good quality and well presented. Waiting on staff courteous and friendly Definitely be returning.

We have dined here for lunch however this was the first time in the evening. Menu is normal pub grub and an extensive Indian cuisine choice (untried). This evening we ordered mains however the member of staff serving changed between talking the order and delivery of food. When finished, the plates were duly cleared but no desert menu offered. As we were in no rush, chilled, however 20 minutes later, failing to attract attention ventured to the bar to ask for said menu. Another 10 minutes and no sign of anyone interested to take our order, we paid at the till and bought a supermarket cake.

Had our Dad's wake here today. Excellent buffet with hot and cold food, with plenty of variety. Thanks especially to Shelley and her team for looking after us and making a very difficult day better.

Bottomless brunch with my friends, lovely food and amazing staff! Special shout out to Babu! Would deffo recommend ! So much food and plenty of drink

Food was great, service poor waited a long time place was extremely busy and very noisy table wasnt the best position, but waitress did apologise but I’m old school and always assumed tables were cleared when everyone finished again I don’t think fault of waitress she clearly didn’t know and was absolutely rushed off her feet she looked ready to cry. Place also needs some renovation looks very tired and toilets were a swimming pool not great. It’s a shame because food is amazing but more trained staff needed and cosmetic makeover x

Went for a Sunday that was booked for my birthday with family. Won't have Sunday lunch again, we've never had a bad meal here but really didn't enjoy this one, the turkey was the best part, potatoes hard, seemed not proper mash and yorkshire puddings definately frozen. Veg was ok and plenty. I will stick to week days in future.

Been before and food was pretty good, last night was very poor, food was average at best and both lasagnes came with free human hair, service was pretty poor, certainly wouldn’t rush back I’d say 3 stars was generous

The Malt House is a pub, providing meals, includimg desai. This was our second visit. The food is very nice. The Indian food is tasty and not over the top. My wife enjoyed her gammon immensely. The service is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble.

Excellent food, table service, friendly and efficient staff, great team work, always a pleasure to dine out here. Thanks to Shelley, Babu and all the team

On arrival for an early evening midweek dinner booking, it was very quiet and, having read recent varying reviews, we were uncertain what to expect. However we were impressed with the level of service given by the young staff. Whilst it isn't yet a polished performance, they are polite and eager to please. We chose starters, main course and then dessert. The food was well presented, arrived in a timely fashion and it was all delicious. Perhaps we were fortunate, but there really was nothing to fault for the price. It's also convenient for a stop off being just a few minutes drive from the M42. We would definitely visit again.

Disappointing pork belly. Saturday evening we ordered 2x pork belly - clearly cooked and reheated, basically inedible and microwaved. Both of us left the meat yet no comment from waiting staff who are still very inexperienced and not trained in customer service. No point in complaining as they struggle to serve professionally so problem solving will I’m sure not be their strong point. Disappointing as the place has been very good in the past and we have been monthly regulars as local, however more specific training to both front of house and kitchen is clearly needed before the busy summer push before the place goes downhill

Great meal and service, maboo was great. Really good atmosphere and will definitely be returning. Myself and my wife chose of the Indian menu and was not disappointed at all, the food was fresh and full of flavour

Had a lovely meal, Chose of Sunday roasts, main menu or Indian menu. Large portions and nice and hot.

We booked a table for two on a Tuesday night and was pleased to see the restaurant was fairly busy. We both had the chicken Biryani and garlic naan bread both of which were very flavorful and good portion sizes. The service was also very...

Pete made our night hilarious Bartender. Coudknt recommend enough honesty. Incredible bar and amazing staff

To start with the restaurant shouldn't be open because the heating is broken and everyone is sitting in coats and hats. No warning when booking Friday for Saturday and no warning from staff on arrival. Also I'm not sure if the ovens are working because...

A bad start - the heating had packed up (5 days ago apparently !) so it was pretty cool in there. Had to ask the waitress for a fan heater which she provided but it had the shortest cable ever, so was underneath the adjacent...

AVOID AT ALL COST!! On 20.11 we popped in with friends for Sunday lunch and beer. I am shocked how badly one of the waitresses was treated. Our favourite polish girl with tears in her eyes ridiculed by the rest of the employees, the words...

We went to the Malt House (10/11/22) as they had a promotion on. Buy any 2 steaks for £28. We arrived, greeted by a lovely lady, Shelley, who showed us to are table. After deciding, Shelley came back to take the order. She made us...

Visited the malt house last night for a family meal, the food was amazing as as we have been before this was not a surprise. The service from the young girls working there was also brilliant as it always is, everything we ordered was correct...

Visited late Saturday afternoon as a family of 4 adults (and dog) and ordered from the Indian menu which is available from 4pm. The food was excellent. Starters were light and well presented. Mains (fish curry, lamb curry & chicken tikka masala) were of a...

An impromptu meal out mid week. Lovely atmosphere and fabulous food. Shelly our waitress was delightful and managed to get a cheese board for desert even though it wasn't on the menu. Compliments to the chef too for accommodating our request and providing tasty food.

Shelly cannot do enough to make your visit enjoyable! Always recognises us and has time to ensure we enjoy our visit! Nothing is too much trouble! She is an asset to the team and thank you for always looking after us

My husband took me here yesterday for my birthday. It was our first visit. I can honestly say we had the best Sunday lunch that we have eaten in a very long time. The vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection, the meat was tasty...

Had another great evening and meal at this restaurant. It’s our favourite place in Tamworth to go, warm, cosy and good friendly service as always Food was quick out and perfect

Haven't been here for a while. What a great transformation! Great service, good food, a thoroughly enjoyable evening.Service was prompt, there had been a noticeable change for the good since we last came. Previously, we had felt we were intruding upon staff meals/breaks and overall...

4 of us dined today and had the light bites 2course menu. The food was of a high standard with plenty on the plate. The deserts also excellent. Our service was excellent and prompt. Nothing was to much trouble for our waitress Shelly who was...

Unfortunately the food is now very, very basic, overcooked and even the side salad tasted off and had slimy leaves . This place used to have amazing food before COVID but I think it must have new management as the food is just so poor...

What a lovely meal we had tonight been a few times been hit and miss but tonight's were quick to come well done to the staff would recommend

I suggested to meet my business partners at The Malthouse as I’ve been here before 2 had English 4 had Indian I suggested the large mix grill and they was so surprised at the taste and quality and amount of food the lads that had...

Bottomless brunch absolutely amazing! Lovely 3 course meal and most generous with the drinks! Cocktails were delicious and non stop bottles of prosecco! Staff were fantastic, couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely be returning.

the meals where fantastic and service was great all 9 of us agree the meals all came together and where all cooked to perfection nothing was to much trouble we all had a great time and the price was good will be back soon

Declining - poor management Having visited this place for the last 20 years as the various different establishments, being a resident of Kingsbury I am saddened that this place just isn’t what it used to be. Visiting with friends as a group of 3 we...

We visited for the first time last night. Our table was booked for 7pm for a table of four. We ordered 3 Camembert starters and the pulled pork chips. Unfortunately 3 of us had our starters and had finished them and still had to wait...

We came as a group of 6 after attending the nearby water park. We grabbed a table outside and went into the bar and ordered some drinks. The pints were served in the incorrect glasses which is a bugbear of mine. A lager in a...

After driving past this place we said it looked fantastic & a rustic feel with good grounds and plenty of parking. After entering we were first told they can’t see the booking then we pointed it out on the tab. With a starving party of...

We visited the Malt House last Sunday for my Nan’s 94th birthday as a party of about 14. We had pre ordered two weeks before for ease and to ensure good service. When we arrived the bar area was chaos but we were seated and...

Visited to meet a mate. Nicest pint of thatchers I’ve had in ages. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Food smelt good didn’t have time to try. Maybe next time

Visited the Malt house last night as I wanted to treat my family to a nice meal. Two of which were young children. This is why we booked an earlier time slot 7.30pm. First of all we were greeted with a sour face at the...

It’s been a while since I’d last been to this restaurant as it’s a little way out from Tamworth. I knew it had changed hands a couple of times and I wanted to see what it was like nowadays. The service and wait on food...

16 people attended and we all had a lovely evening and the food was lovely. There was choice of 2 menus English and Indian. I had peri peri half chicken and chips with salad which was perfect.

We arrived after going to Cliff Lakes water park for an early dinner around 4:30 pm. We were seated at a table with food and rubbish all over the floor. The menus were disgusting and hadn’t been wiped of any food. It took 20 mins...

AVOID AT ALL COST..... terrible experience, went for Sunday lunch today, as we arrived the sign outside was advertising fun father's day, this was a week ago so should have realised what was in store, got seated at a two person table, but was positioned...

We popped in after a long walk for a pint and some food. The staff are awful. Doesn’t even deserve one star! The place is beautiful, the staff do it a disservice. Two were on their phones and eating behind the bar (if on break...

Terrible...went for Sunday lunch, mains came before our starters, one of the starters was not what was stated on the menu. Main meal swamped in gravy ( not in a side jug) bland, bland, bland. Came here when it was the Funky Bear and said...

Having read the mixed reviews I wasn’t expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised. Excellent service and extra help given due to one of us having food allergies. The food was absolutely perfect (for all 5 of us). Definitely will return and have recommended to...

Arrived as normal with the family and friends... been here several times before always been great until that is....today Asked to speak to a manager... who I can only describe as stomped over to us hands on hips and opened up the conversation with "who...

I had visited last month and was disappointed at the very mediocre food served with the bottomless brunch. Went back (as it’s very local) & opted for the Indian menu - and I was most definitely not disappointed this time round. Everything tasted really good...

my husband and I visited on tuesday to see what it was like, we couldn't vault the food service was good so we decided to book for my sons birthday on saturday, we arrived on time and it was quite busy we waited a few...

Absolutely fabulous bottomless brunch...food fantastic and the wine and cocktails were flowing...never had an empty glass. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Food and service was fine, but it was overcrowded and very noisy. The first table we were sat at appeared to have been ‘squashed in’ and we got fed up of people squeezing past us. We requested a move to an empty table a few...

After reading some other reviews we were pleasantly surprised Our order was taken in a timely manner and we didn’t wait long for our drinks or food Our steaks were nicely cooked and done medium as asked Yes the staff were all very young but...

Haven’t eaten here since lockdown and had heard positive stories. Visited on a Saturday for the £35 “Bottomless brunch” and whilst I enjoyed the time out, I was disappointed by the very average food quality. I had the tempura prawns for starters but these were...

Booked a table for 8 people for 17.00 to celebrate my partners Birthday as some of our group had been before and liked it. we sat down at seven and a waitress asked if she could take our order, we asked for a couple of...

Not impressed - very poor customer service. Lots of staff doing nothing! We visited as we live local and the table has been booked for several weeks. Arrived and seated fairly quickly but the tables were so close together we could touch elbows with the...

Booked a meal for a group get together. Very loud music! Decor lovely and pub was clean on the evening that we went. Staff were pleasant, polite, helpful and well presented. Meal edible but rather bland.

I went with a friend for a meal here on a Monday evening. The place was busy (as there’s 20% off some meals on a Monday), which was nice. We were served relatively quickly with regards to taking our drinks and food orders. I had...

we visited the malthouse at kinsbury on the 5th March for a family meal.We were so impressed the staff were amazing and friendly the atmosphere nice and relaxed the Food was Amazing definately be going again

Great atmosphere, great staff and great food!!!. Came here on the Sunday, although it was really busy staff were very attentive and food was spot on. Charming bar tender knew a lot about the drinks sold. Would definitely recommend!!!

Came for a meal with my husband and 2 kids hadnt booked, finding us a table was no problem. However i will not be returning There was roughly 5 members of staff working but only 2 actually offering customer service and being attentive all the...

Food was delicious; finally a good chef in this place and good menu. Pub has a lovely interior and lots of seating. But it also has bass music and disco lights that got louder and louder and the restaurant lights got dimmer. For a country...

First time tonight (sat). Nice atmosphere but a little on the loud side. Food absolutely fabulous with a great choice and staff friendly. Unfortunately 3 meals came about 15 minutes after the other five. However, they apologised, gave us a round of free drinks and...

I really like coming to this place. The food is tasty, good portion and great prices. I love the fact that there a choice of menu; either your normal pub grub or the Indian grill and both are delicious. The staff are friendly and on...

We had a family meal on Saturday evening. We were very disappointed with the meal we were presented with my wife had chicken tikka masala with egg fried rice which looked like grated egg over the top of the egg not mixed through. The mixed...

Food was spectacular. The staff (In particular Jo, Elliot and Pete.) made our experience one of the best we ever had! Highly recommend great restaurant.

Lovely meal. However we couldn't have a conversation as the music was so loud. This spoilt our evening, dining out at the malt house.

Food was excellent but the place is spoiled by foul mouthed builders that stop there every night on the way home from work for a couple of hours and are very loud and off putting. Also the young waitresses seem to be very friendly with...

We had a lovely family meal for 5 of us Saturday evening .starters and mains every thing came out perfectly and really fast , the pizzas from the main and kids pizza were huge . Couldn’t fault any of it in fact we are returning...

It was our first time here. We hadn’t done any research on the place, just thought we would give it a try. The place looks warm and welcoming. I wasn’t aware until we sat down that they have 2 different menus. I ordered pizza from...

Poor quality food, basic menu. Long wait for drinks. Staff were friendly though. Quite loud in there and a big table of regular drinkers sat near the bar were swearing loudly. They new the staff and they were getting served quicker than everyone else. Nan...

We arrived in time to be seated immediately. With at least six wait staff you would of thought 25 minutes waiting to order was excessive. Three prawns and three brie wedges to start was underwhelming. Main arrived after 55 minutes . Large mixed grill was...

Visit went wrong from start...our name not on booking list..our chair had food on it ...waitress was less than helpful ...as we waited we never saw a waitress circulating round checking on tables....we were not the only table that was complaining....1 hour wait for main...

Four of us went to the Malthouse on a Saturday evening (6.30pm). We booked beforehand and were told to confirm twice. On neither of those booking were we told not only that there would be a wedding reception but we would be seated in the...

We have been to the malt house a few times and ever time the food has been fantastic. They serve these massive Indian sizzling platters that seem very popular and we always have one. The large one for two people is more than enough. It's...

Although very busy the service we received from our waitress Shelly was great Food took a while to come but was lovely and I have to say Shelly was lovely and attentive

I rang at short notice to see if we could get a table for lunch today. A really polite happy lady called Hannah answered and said no problem. Upon arriving the service was great and the food tasty and good value.

First let's get rid of the negative reviews they must have the palette of a beer mat. Chef Raj should get a Michelin star. I would pay top dollar for the fish pakoras alone. The tandoori mixed grill was unbelievable. Chef Raj is a genius...

This is a very good venu, lots of parking and made very welcome on arrival. Spacious and very well decorated and nice upholstered chairs which were very comfortable. A good menu with lots of choice. We will certainly return. One hint a little dressing on...

Unfortunately I have no idea what the food is like because despite booking online and confirming by telephone our party of 2x tables of four were not informed that the pub had decided to close the kitchen for the day. We were informed that a...

Fabulous. Great layout, obviously been some work put in to make this a lovely venue in these strange times, the weather helped but have to say the staff were great. Didn’t wait long for a drink, food was lovely and hot, very tasty. Best pint...

Finally, the new vendors at this venue have got it right. After so many different incarnations from Owls to Funky Pigeon's (or whatever), this one really hits the spot and even before this latest lockdown was full and vibrant. Decent choice of meals as well...
