The Pear Tree Creperie in Lichfield

Always love visiting here, great service and food.

Lovely setting in a very picturesque craft centre style venue. I arrived a few minutes after my friend but we waited quite a while to be asked about drinks, despite there being around 6 staff members chatting nearby and it being a very quiet time and only 2/3 other tables filled, all of whom had been served and were eating. Our table was bot very clean, and the plasticky tablecloth was a bit incongruous to the setting. Food was nice if a little overpriced, portions very generous - most plates seemed to have significant leftovers. Coffee is not great. The staff were unfortunately the biggest let down. While those we interacted with were friendly and pleasant, we waited so long for service and for our plates to be cleared we almost felt we could have left without being noticed - trying to catch the attention of staff was like trying to pick up frogspawn, if I caught someone’s eye they immediately looked away. Would visit the centre again but not eat unfortunately, as it’s a bit pricey to be so underwhelmed.

I've been coming here since I was a child and now I bring my daughter here and she loves it too! The food is amazing!

Lovely staff, lovely food with a good range of fillings.

Went with family to celebrate 45th wedding Anniversary. We have been many many times before but a while since visiting . The service was dreadful extremely slow despite plenty of staff. Waiting times to order far too long The cost for drinks and extra’s is absolutely ridiculous, same with the salads. Main have gone up to be expected with rising cost . When meals arrived we had to wait for salad didn’t arrive had to ask so most of us had to start the main. Surely that should have been out first. Any totally disappoint and felt over priced. Unfortunately it totally over shone the food . Will not be recommending again as we always have and doubt if we will return again . Sorry

Very enjoyable great food, a spectacular place to chill out.

Visited Pear Tree Creperie this afternoon and the visit was excellent from start to end. We were a family of six so we had quite a large order and both food and drinks arrived quickly, all together and was absolutely delicious. Lovely friendly staff too- I asked for water for our doggies which was no trouble at all even with how busy they were. It was enjoyed by all, especially by the four out of our six visiting from France ( the home of the crêpe) big thumbs up from them. Will definitely visit again.

Good food and good service with excellent value. Lunch.

Very thoughtful service today thanks to Amy, who swapped our upstairs table with a downstairs one to make it easier for less mobile members of our party 😁 Fab food as always, and a great atmosphere. Authentic, welcoming and always a delight. Merci beaucoup 🇨🇵

A little bit of Brittany near Lichfield! Sat eating crepes with a cider at hand brought back many memories of holidays. Good service, pleasant staff. Prices reasonable.

I have fond memories of the creperie, first visiting as a child about 25 years ago and getting absolutely covered in Nutella! Over that time have visited for occasions, but hadn’t been back for quite a few years. The decor and rustic feel is the same, waiting staff are friendly and attentive. Whilst there I think I was willing myself to enjoy the food, having such fond memories, but it wasn’t up to the standard of before. French onion soup - the onions were thickly cut, not deep in rich caramelised flavour, cheese grated on top, not melted. Salmon crepe - wasn’t expecting the salmon to be cooked! Very salty, salmon needs soaking before prep as very salty from preservatives. Not sure is it was the eggs on the crepes but got very unwell a few hours after eating, stomach cramps and vomiting, chills… wrote off the rest of the day and had to go home. Not going to knock it down entirely as the staff were so attentive, the venue is gorgeous and soo many happy memories there, accepting it may have been an off day.

Always consistent quality. Can't go wrong with freshly cooked food.

I happen to fall upon this place with my primary school age child. We had a great time here. Loved the crepes despite being gluten free. I had the special La Grand which was not my favourite. Couldn't taste much beyond the salt from the bacon and sausage. But it was well prepared and piping hot. Shout out to the staff who were helpful, friendly, warm and welcoming.

Unfortunately, some of the comfortable outdoor seating has been swapped for benches.

A little disappointed with the experience. We have been coming for over 20 years, but the prices have risen considerably, £3.50 for an individual bowl of iceberg lettuce, seems rather expensive. The menu says 'please ask' about a Craft Beer, Initially the waitress stated there was, but had no idea, then went to see the manager and came back announcing there wasn't one. Do not put items on the menu that you can't deliver on. I had booked in advance a table for 2 as it was my wife's birthday and we were put at a table for 6, not very intimate. The food was good, but I'm not sure if we would go again.

Good food, good service and nice atmosphere. What's not to like.

Very impressed by the service. Staff very friendly, lovely atmosphere. Food and drink both good quality. Lovely experience

Food is delicious.well worth a visit.best to book a table before you go

Have been going here for over 25 years,it is one of my favourite places to eat.Hadn’t eaten here since before Covid,so when one of my sons asked where I would like to go for a birthday meal I chose here. We went as a family and the food and service were impeccable.One of the things I like so much is that nothing ever changes. The Fairy Woods were a great hit with my small grandson.So an added bonus of the visit.

Lovely food, decent size portions and friendly staff

I would recommend this venue to everyone. The crepes are beautiful and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Make sure you book in advanced though

Maybe the time we visited very quite.

Great crepes, lots of flavours to choose from. Friendly staff, fun ambience and good coffee.

Extremely welcoming, friendly staff. Delicious galettes in a vibrant, atmospheric setting.

Staff were great, fitted us in. Highly recommend the all day breakfast gallette...lovely 😋

One of my favourite places I’ve been coming to for over 20 years. Highly recommend the garlic mushroom and cheese galette and profiterole crepe. If you are a Coeliac then you can have a galette as a dessert made with sweet toppings. Excellent coffee here also 5*

Great food, quick service. They did forget a couple of the kids puddings but we were a massive family group that so totally forgivable! They made sure to make up for the error. Staff super friendly. Extra space upstairs for more seating and private events. No lift to upstairs but the ground floor is easily accessible. Toilets are in nearby rather than in the restaurant so not idea but easy enough to deal with. Would visit again when in the area

Fantastic meal for the family. We had onion soup, baked Camembert for starters; ham/cheese galettes and Ferraro Roche crepes!

Lovely little place. Brilliant food & great staff. Enjoyed our visit

Recently, I came across this Midlands gem @thepeartreecreperie located just outside of Lichfield at @heartofthecountryvillage and decided to make this a Friday afternoon treat to myself ❤️ This! Was probably one of the best things I've eaten in a while. It's called a Galette - buckwheat flour savoury pancakes - loaded with salad, bacon, mushrooms, and goat's cheese. Heaven 😭😍 As their name may give away, they are also an excellent place for crepes.

Great place with beautiful food 😍

You really can't go wrong with crepes. They're a fairly neutral taste and you just order the food you really like and that's it. You get handed a little packet of gastronomic delight. Your favourite food, put in a little servíng device. Mine was a sweet one, all maple-y and sugary. Could just as easily have been eggs and bacon, which I'm sure would have been just as delicious. However, the genius move here is the serving hatch. They didn't seem to have it open when I was there (It was fairly windy mind) but it must make them a fortune. You see, in people's minds there's a commitment, a positive action and a whole sequence of etiquette when you walk into a restaurant. It's not often an impulse action. There must have been thousands of folk who "Nearly" bought a crepe, but couldn't be bothered with the whole restaurant thing. But with a hatch, it's like buying a Twix from the corner shop. Walking round the village, brain says "Blood glucose a bit low........Sugar and carbs over there" and you say a few words to the lass stood in the window and in two minutes you have the answer to all your problems in your hand - Easy,.........And wonderful!!!

It is a very lovely place. We have been coming here for years and the food is always great. Service is fantastic and it is a lovely place to eat in. Also the Cider is amazing. Will be definitely coming here again and will keep on bringing my friends here too. Although I do like it for dates with my wife alone too 😁

Lovely crêpes - a crepe with lemon sauce was amazing and so was the one with chocolate sauce. Service was great and friendly. You can go for a walk in the fairy forest outside afterwards or browse the little shops. Ample free parking

Lovely crêpes - the La grande was amazing and so was the La complete. Service was great and friendly. Coffee was great with lots of options. You can go for a walk in the fairy forest outside afterwards or browse the little shops. Free parking. There is also outdoor seating.

Lovely setting, great menu and helpful, friendly staff. Very nice gallettes!

Lovely place to eat in a really nice setting. Staff are friendly and helpful.

I come here fairly regularly and have always found the staff very friendly and competent. I usually go for the savoury menu (just personal preference) and have really enjoyed each dish I’ve tried. The menu is different from most eateries around Lichfield with a very French focus, which is very welcome. It is usually well attended so advisable to book a table. Recommend.

Fantastic food , very clean , & staff very helpful.

We come here fairly regularly and I always look forward to it! The staff are lovely and the food is great. Both the savoury galettes and sweet crepes are really yummy and nicely presented, with lots of choice, and the truffle fries and spicy mayo are really good. They often have specials as well; the cheesy fries with Toulouse sausage that they're doing at the moment are amazing comfort food. It is worth booking as it does get busy, and you'll want to specify a downstairs table if you have any mobility issues.

Can't comment on food as just had coffee. Staff were absolutely lovely. Attentive and smiling the whole time. We hadn't booked and quite a few tables were reserved and this was on a Wednesday so I would advise to pre book. We were seated on a reserved table but just had to be gone by the time of the reservation which was fine. Didn't use the facilities. Coffee nice. Decor lovely. Would visit again.

Always lovely food At a table upstairs which lacked a little atmosphere also not warned about stairs which would of been difficult to manage had I taken my disabled husband Maybe a good suggestion to enquire where you will be seated for visit

9 of us visited last Sunday 26th March, for a family get together. We were not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed our visit. We definitely will return.

Excellent choice of food, excellent service and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.p

Food is top quality and coffee is best I've found for miles however the service is very slow. Had service been quicker it would be five stars because that's all that let it down such a shame Been back, service very good and the food was top notch. Would recommend without hesitation.

I've been here a few times now, very nice and pleasant location. Calming atmosphere with pleasant staff. The food was good as well as the service. There is plenty of parking, which is just a very short distance to all the amenities.

First time at this establishment and we were spoilt. Very nice people, service was exceptional highly recommended

Love the food here, and it's a really nice atmosphere.

Lovely food and welcoming atmosphere. Galettes and pancakes were super tasty and good choice or flavours

Always love this place.. Having a dairy allergy my choices are limited but I still love it and always enjoy the food... The salad bowl is simply awesome... And not to forget the staff simply friendly and utterly charming..

Regulars for 25 years. A place where memories are made and crepes & cidre consumed.

Arrived at lunchtime today.. escorted to a table upstairs which was very bare and unwelcoming.. it was freezing .. too cold to sit comfortably to eat .. no one came to take our order for over 15 mins so we left. I know heating is costly but I expect to be able to eat a meal in comfort not in my coat and gloves. We saw others sitting in their coats and wearing gloves No welcoming at all.

Lovely Atmos..wonderful pancake house ...xxx

Great credit po es... delicious... and gluten free options too!!

Really nice place for lunch. Much improved menu from the last time we came (pre Covid). Lovely atmosphere, very welcoming and cosy. Stilton Galette was delicious. Good coffee too. Would recommend and will try to come more often. Nice little shops to browse round too.

Excellent crêpes and Cider. Charming service, very good value for money. Will be back for sure

Repeated visits- love this place

Delicious hot cafe au lait and pastries.

This was the first time and the last visiting this Creperie not because of the service but the cost, the extras are over priced a scoop of ice cream maple syrup over £7 a few cut up strawberries I had possible 3 £2.50 the menue confusing so I got muddled I had the most expensive pancake with a coke over £15 I never mind paying but hate being ripped off.🙄

Lovely food and brilliant service

Called in for a cup of tea whilst on the road... Ended up with a rhubarb crumble crêpe which was incredible! Staff were very friendly and accommodating, it was early and no one else about but still, we had similar friendly service at Christmas when we last visited and they were very busy then! (Mine was a take out hence the box in the photo) And most importantly they listen to how you'd like your tea and make it accordingly - so many places make awful tea, it is always welcomed to find somewhere who make it properly!

Excellent choice of crepe & galette fillings, including vegan, veggie & gluten free. Staff are wonderful, welcoming and knowledgable. Inside & outside extremely clean. Prices are reasonable, lots of extras available including, salads, fries, cheese, bread. 5*****

Quick efficient friendly service, love the new menu, good portions, cosy atmosphere. Can't wait until it opens in the evening again.

Ive never had a savoury pancake so this was a first. The food was fresh and tasty and staff were polite and helpful. Disappointed I had to ask for the table to be wiped.

Good lunch with family. Catered for lactose free and gluten free.

Incredible food as great prices. The staff are always very welcoming . Highly recommend 👌🏻

Absolutely stunning, staff so friendly and kind, checked up on us and the food was very good would defo recommend also one of the staff who served us on the Saturday was very helpful

We used to visit this place often when we first discovered it 17 years ago. The food was very good as expected. The only few things that let this establishment down was the poor slow service and it lacked the warm welcome we used to receive. It wasn’t busy so it was sad that after the slow arrival of our food no one came and asked if our meal was ok. To be honest we felt ignored. We didn’t receive the salads we ordered with our main and one of the desserts came so late we turned it away. These little things leave lasting impressions.

Took my son, I thoroughly enjoyed my mushroom stroganoff Galette and his lemon and sugar crepe was fantastic. A great place to eat.

As good as ever. Always good food and service.

I've been a semi-regular customer here since it first opened when I was a child in the early 90s , so clearly I have great affection for it. It's "authentically" French, which you can tell merely by looking at the probably hundred or so French signs and pictures dotted around the inside walls of the building. It used to be managed by a charming French lady (who my family and I knew only as "Madame"), who retired several years ago before she handed the business down to her daughter. All the waiting staff wear stereotypically "French" stripey tops and they used to greet customers with a smiling "Bonjour!". Although the latter has seemingly been phased out, the menu itself is still littered with French names of dishes. One of these dishes, La complète (containing ham, a fried egg, and melted cheese) has been my go-to savoury galette ever since I first went there. It's delicious, although I keep meaning to ask them to please not garnish the top with "ghastly parsley" (as my mum would put it)! Over the years, the restaurant has opened the first floor in order to allow more room for tables due to its high popularity, and the menu has expanded to offer much more variety, including a selection of starters, more savoury galettes, more sweet crêpes (I can personally highly recommend the pear/apple/banana with chocolate sauce), and other desserts including "vegan ice cream" (don't ask me how ice CREAM can be vegan, but clearly it can!). The restaurant didn't used to have an alcohol license, but it does nowadays, evidenced by the fact that Baileys hot chocolate is on the menu, which again, I recommend if you want a hot drink with/instead of a dessert. Over 30 years later, the Crêperie is still my favourite Staffordshire restaurant at which to eat lunch, and I will no doubt return again very soon.

Nice setting, friendly service and good food. A little expensive for what was on offer, but I guess eateries are playing catch up.

We came here for breakfast on Saturday morning, our friend had booked the table for 10am, so first sitting, there were quite a few people waiting for it to open. Restaurant is very nice and staff were lovely, we were waiting for another of our party to arrive so did not order food straight away, we had drinks, whilst waiting we checked how long we had the table and it was for 2 hours, all good. When our friend arrived we ordered, 3 of us had breakfast crepes and the other had a sweet one. They all looked very nice although maybe a little dry, they tasted very nice and bacon was very good. Would definitely visit again if the area.

We've visited 'heart of the country' a few times in the past. Going on the spur of the moment, we've tried to get a table at this crepery - it's always been fully booked. Heard very good reviews. Visited this particular day, and managed to get a table, which was free for an hour. We only wanted to try the crepes really so this was ample. Service by a younger waitress was very friendly and efficient. Placed an order for 3 crepes - husband had nutella w/ nuts, I had maple syrup topping and our 3 yr old had nutella- we weren't made aware of a childrens menu so he had the adult portion. The crepes arrived very quickly - maybe too quickly, I'm guessing the had been prepared a while ago. Not sure. They were distinctly average, pretty bland to be fair and bot very warm. They didnt arrive with a garnish - a few berries on the side would have been nice. At £4.95 each I think they were very expensive for what they were - I was expecting better. Son didnt eat much of his as they were a bit of a chore to eat, so plain and cold. I wish I'd have ordered the version with fruit at £7.50 for for flavour, but I'm guessing that would have been a disappointment and overpriced also. Can't comment on the other meals they serve but if you're going for crepes, I certainly wouldnt recommend. You can make much nicer ones at home and they barely cost anything to produce. What a disappointment. We did go to visit the South African food hut after, and bought some delicious Biltong meat... that was money well spent on a great product. I felt a bit ripped off at The Pear Tree however.

I called in at lunchtime without a reservation, but this was no problem to the staff who found me a place despite the Creperie being very busy.. All the staff I met were pleasant, courteous and keen to help. I ordered a savoury crepe and a coffee, both of which arrived remarkably quickly. Restaurant was clean and well organised with good distances between tables. Food was tasty, well cooked and very good value for money.

Great place for a celebration, friendly staff, well worth a visit

Veery efficient service and delicious crepes both savoury and sweet.

A friend and I had lunch here on Wednesday. It was busy but the service was prompt. All of the staff we came into contact with were friendly and professional. Food was lovely and there were many fillings and toppings to choose from. This was especially good for my friend who requires gluten free choices. We would definitely recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

If I could give this place zero stars I would . Food rubbish . Dried up pancake on the top , soggy mess on the base .Tasteless ratatouille . Full of screaming children . Freezing also.

All things pancake, and delicious pancakes. Between our table we had quite a variety of sweet and savoury pancakes, and they were all great. Seems like booking in advance is certainly something you’d want to look at doing if you want to make sure of a table.

Have been meaning to visit for soooo long and it really didn't disappoint at all. The staff were so helpful and friendly from the minute I phoned to book a table. The atmosphere was so lovely and the staff could't have been more helpful even though they were busy and short staffed, nothing was too much trouble. The food was gorgeous and the portions were big! We haven't been able to go to France on holiday and this was such a treat, Thank you everyone we will be back!

Always excellent lush food and excellent service.

Excellent meal and as a creperie was of a high standard.

Really tasty food and great staff. Well worth a visit. 😋😋

Perfect service,great atmoshere with French accordion music.Loved the well presented food and enjoyed both Galettes and Crepé s.Trez bien.

Nice atmosphere. Delicious food. Friendly service, although a bit slow.

This is a great place to have lunch. Their French Onion Soup is always great, but also their savoury galleries and sweet crepes are worth a visit at any time. Some nice shops nearby also.

We first visited the Pear Tree Creperie 26 years ago. Having moved out of the Birmingham area some years back, we still try and pop in for some crepes if we are travelling past it on holiday. Having visited last week, I can confirm that it is still one of the best creperies around. The choice is excellent (both savoury and sweet), delicious and excellent value for money and the staff very efficient and friendly. Well done to the staff as well for spacing the tables out a bit more than pre-pandemic and wearing masks.

Always friendly staff and great food for a good price! Although would definitely recommend booking rather than dropping in during the summer as it's very on demand and the property is small

Always great. New menu is excellent.

Not eaten out for ages with COVID so we thought we could come here and get some vinegarette. We live about a 45min away. We had booked we asked to sit outside in the under covered area. To our surprise it had a heater which was nice. We ordered at the hatch and the food was served quickly, staff wearing masks. Lovely crepes, salad and tried the fries. Unfortunately they had no vinegrette so left without. I did look on the website but it’s £10, no way we are paying that.

Wonderful attentive waitresses and delicious crepes. I had both savoury and sweet which were seductive. I shall be returning soon.

Had lunch with friends last Thursday can not find a fault first class service and good food thank you to all the staff will be calling back 👍.

Excellent food, excellent service. Highly recommended.

A bit pricey but nice. The outdoors seating is good.

Eating out when you have a vegan diet can be both boring and disappointing, as well as difficult. Not here! From dealing with my telephone enquiry right through to the end of the dining experience I can only say professional, helpful, friendly as well as super delicious food. I felt really confident that they really cared and knew exactly what they were doing. We both had the same - mushroom stroganoff galettes with spinach and a sharing salad. 2 coffees and table water. Large portions,Terrific value. This operation is very well run by lovely staff. They also cater for gluten free diets and children. I will definitely return with both friends and family as one of my daughters is gluten intolerant. Another big tick. It’s a long time since I have felt this way about dining out in a non vegan environment. 🙌👏🤩

Fabulous food and the staff are brilliant

Always an excellent meal here. Love eating at the Pear Tree. Lovely staff, good service.

As the weather was warm we ate outside and the staff were very friendly and the crepes were delicious. Perfect place to eat.
