The Pump House in Solihull

Well its a Weatherspoons ...Sadly the quality of the food seems to have diminished over recent times. You get what you pay for I suppose

Lovely selection of ales all at a great price ,

Had shell in my scrambled egg and no free drink with the breakfast (only realised afterwards it should have been included but I'd have thought they would have reminded me at the point of ordering)

Very big and busy pub designed for eating, which is great if you want a meal. Very good prices on food and drink.

Food took awhile to come out compared to other spoons I've visited.

Great efficient staff. Good choice of well served ales. Not eaten here - menu looks standard pub fayre at reasonable cost. Depending on time of day atmosphere (while always interesting) will vary.

Good service and very cheap food. Lovely pub. Full of people all session

Not visited in a few years as I thought it had closed, but I was getting mixed up with another pub. Quick service and nice and sparse for space. A couple of ales on that were interesting.

The Food ordered at the bar arrived and it was the wrong food so got sent back the secondfood arrived and it was right but stone cold so that got sent back and we asked for a refund and left .. the Building had no soul very bland unlike other weatherspoons that I've been to. Also I really wish that folk that smoke didn't have to smoke cigarettes in the Door way even though there's a sign saying NO SMOKING.some folk are so thick obviously can't read or don't care.I had to shout excuse me just to get by . And the smell of cigarettes smoke inside the premises was very strong and not being a smoker it spoiled the taste of my food .

Reasonable piece. Food are okay. Cozy place to meet with friends.

One of the best spoons been too . The manager needs a pat on her back here 👌🏾

Vine hoy aquí con mi padre y mi hija pidieron tres clases de hamburguesas cuando llegó la comida. Sólo dos clases de hamburguesas fueron al bar. Ella fue tan grosera que dijo que era mi culpa y que necesitaba pagar de nuevo y se rió en mi cara. Le dije que necesitaba más entrenamiento y siguió riéndose. Mi padre estaba esperando su comida y la mía se estaba enfriando. Así que tuve que pagar de nuevo. La mesa estaba sucia. Nunca más iré allí. Tan decepcionante.

Great local pub with keen prices. Always manage to get a seat but busy most times

Great place and service and food

Charging restaurant prices for microwaved food is wild. Which is a shame, as the staff are very nice. Spoons is too expensive now

The location and service is pretty good. Located on high street, easy to reach via public transport, vicinity to car park and other eateries as well. So one can have a proper dinner at one of the restaurants and wind down with few drinks here. Occasionally tried food, standard Wetherspoon’s menu - value for money. One of the good Wetherspoon’s amongst others in and around Solihull/Birmingham.

Spacious. The space between tables is big enough. Big windows, good view to look outside. The suggestion for them is : try to have enough manpower during busy period. Very often, rubbish is on the floor, tables are unclean, plates , mugs .....are left to be collected. ^______*

Was busy for a Wednesday lunchtime, drink service was promt, ordered food, was spot on, no delays given how busy the place was. Excellent as always!

As with all Wetherspoon pubs you get what you get. The evening is about who you're with not necessarily the atmosphere on a Tuesday evening. Food was cheap and cheerful although it could have been warmer and the tea limitless. Can't complain

Honest, fast food. Well priced, too.

Cheap and cheerful place to eat.

Despite its large size the Pump House is often busy and finding a table can be difficult. I ended up in the middle of the pub, crammed among other patrons with no sense of relaxation or privacy. I ordered gourmet steak, rare, but it was effectively medium. I requested two fried eggs and received three (thanks!). I will make a point of avoiding peak times when I return.

Your average Wotherspoons with all that means including connotations...

Great food and really nice atmosphere 👌

Good drinks at a good price but let down by the food. We had a jacket potato that was surprisingly small with meagre toppings. The pizza was not up to the usual Wetherspoon standards either, again very mean on the toppings.

Amazing spoons. The managers are very accommodating and help as much as they can. Just needs more seats

Poped in before being dragged around furniture shop. Light and airy, with welcoming log fire. Had large breakfast. Bar staff very cheerful.

Good night out. Great beer prices

I come here every few weeks to meet a friend. The drinks are cheap and the food is good. Its always a relaxed atmosphere too.

My fa3 place to have a drink, and wings

Great location, value for money, stay as long as you like is rather encouraged, without any waiter hassling you to order more or clear your table for others.

Lively pub, always busy. Very friendly staff and straight forward but expansive menu. Disappointed there is only one veggie options on Curry Club night. Would go more often if there were more choices. Good prices beer, real ales and wine. Toilets could do with being checked more at busy times and there are often long queues at the bar. Top tip. Get the App and order from your table.

Modern high ceiling weatherspoons location. Good service, clean generally busy. Limited parking as on high street.

I didn't have any food today, just coffee ☕ but it was very good, I found it relaxing and comfortable with what I was doing in there today.

Very busy due to cheap food so sometimes cleanliness suffers. Staff quick to serve and polite. No music or TV so feels like a roudy dentist waiting room

Good version of a weatherspoons. Reasonable price meals and good everyday selection. Quorn chicken bites, veg sausage and.mash fish and chips

Tried to climb into the furnace and was barred. Unfair, really.

Good hot meal well worth the money

Entré por pescado + papas fritas.. tuve que enviar de vuelta después de 20 minutos esperar como frío, olía a apagado.. .. cuando regreso con la comida lenta para despejar la mesa. Cuando comía todo lo que oía era decir groserías... NUNCA MÁS

Great prices for brekkie. Quick service!

There were flies flies flying around the table, and they kept landing on the table opposite, and at one point, the fly landed on my straw, which put me off my drink 🪰. There were quite a few, but I couldn't take a picture of it .

I tried the salad and tbh it was lovely

No sé por qué este lugar es calificado tan bajo, esta es una de las mejores cucharas en las que he estado. Es ligero por los techos altos. El personal es siempre amable y la comida es buena para el dinero. A menudo visito aquí con mi familia y siempre salgo feliz.

You know what you're going to get in a spoons... Cheap priced food and drink. Some great draft beers on tap and regular offers throughout the week. Sadly, as with a lot of weatnerspoons, the lack of licences means there's no music or entertainment and so they can often feel a bit flat.

Had mixed grill for lunch...meat portions .... tiny. Compared to what they used to be..... no egg? Very disappointed

3 empleados detrás de la barra, 2 totalmente ajenos a los clientes esperando ser atendido, cuando en realidad me despidieron después de 15 minutos! La jovencita fue completamente grosera y luego procedió a lanzar mi cambio en la barra, claramente este miembro del personal se beneficiaría de un curso de capacitación para clientes... mientras tanto, el gerente estaba limpiando mesas y limpiando pisos que alguien necesita para tambalearse y ordenar este establecimiento... de lo contrario, esto sería un placer frecuentar. 7

Popped in for a few drinks and a bite to eat. Long waiting time at bar only 2 staff serving and 1 other serving what looked like app orders. The place could do with a deep clean, dust everywhere. The atmosphere itself is good, with good vibes from the locals. The food came out piping hot no complaints, the staff also very pleasant but rushed off there feet, may be as it's a bank holiday.

Great atmosphere, a whizz of aroma every time the upstairs toilet doors open. Overall, it is recommended. Free refill for tea and coffee and alcohol drinks are affordable.

Family friendly Good menu choices

This is a nice modern pub that's part of a larger shopping complex. It sits on the main road and has a large welcoming patio in the front. That's what attracted us to it... We shared some fish & chips, but were mostly there for the cold beer outside on a sunny day. They seem quite busy l, but service at the bar was good. There was no table service. There usually is no table service in a pub.

As wetherspoons always is. I love them. Good food. Good beers and cocktails.

Pretty rammed and chaotic, big opened plan area inside seating area out the front, alright for a few before heading out on a night out

Had a meal this evening 12/07/2024. The gammon was so burnt and dry that even the steak knife that was supplied could not cut through it..I did pass on feedback to a staff member. He apologised...I have eaten here before and had no issues so was surprised at how bad the quality of cooking was this evening.

Had a bad meal, and staff was lovely refunded.

Didn't bother to eat here place was filthy stains on chairs dirty plates ect on vacant tables put us right off won't bother again

Listed on Friday pm, brilliant customer service, food came very fast was piping hot really enjoyed it, manager on duty was very welcoming and friendly and couldn't do enough for us thi k her name was claire, first time visiting, what a brilliant experience,, credit to the company will be back thanks you team

Friendly staff....lively place....Great food....Nice atmosphere

Best Weatherspoon pub I've been to.

Nice food good presentation friendly and service with a smile 😃

Just went for a drink. It's a Spoons and you get what you expect at a fair price.

It is a really nice pub to go into. It's very reasonably priced, and the service was good and the staff were friendly and efficient. I would have liked my food to be warmer, but that is my only criticism. I would definitely go there again.

Great value it’s usually busy here service is good food is good for the price

Lovely food quick service and pleasant staff , would recommend

Great place ,especially outside in the sun

Early morning meeting place, staff friendly

A horrible place! On Saturday evening while minding our own business, having one drink, we got harassed and ultimately physically attacked by a drunk guy. No security to be seen. The manager told us later, quite happily and careless, that the guy has already been kicked out twice that day. WHY WAS HE BACK IN THEN?! This is negligence, you are responsible for the safety of your customers! That was an unpleasant reminder of why we never usually go to a Wetherspoons.

this place is great if you want to take your own food and drink into, the management turn a blind eye. also it ok to vape in there, management turn a blind eye, can also play gaming machines at any age

Service at the bar is excellent from all staff. Only problem with food is the chips a bit hit and miss mostly luke warm however last visit the bar staff ensured they were hot. Visit on Sunday afternoons and acknowledge the friendly regulars. Enjoy the southern fried wraps.

Great place to chill Food doesn't cost the earth

Standard Wetherspoons affair. Clean, busy, well maintained beer and good, dependable food served for the money spent. Those who don’t like Wetherspoons will not be convinced and those that do will be able to take something from it that they were expecting. Well done to the staff for making a great place.

Make sure you check the cleanliness of your cutlery. However, all told, a nice place

Nice food good price popular nice pint sonne food with mrs bit of shopping

4 stars as it's cheap beer and spirits, plus a large place so pretty good chance for a table. No TV's though so good for social not for sports. Food pretty standard pub grub. Parking at Margate Asda unlimited after 3pm. Or opposite side of Stratford Rd.

Great selection of beers at a great value Not had the opportunity to eat here

Nice food. A good place to go after shopping

perfection - no music - no TVs showing mindless sport.

First time visiting this Wetherspoons,arrived @ 10am lots of people there already had a lovely reasonably priced breakfast with as many cups of hot drinks that I wanted (2 was plenty)

Always a pleasure to visit although can be busy at times

it was nice , cheap and simple .

Great wetherspoons in Shirley. Never have any problems.

Great for a less expensive drink and food. No frills just good pub grub 😀

Food wasn't too bad. Service very poor. Staff don't seem interested at all. Place appears run down of late. Tables not cleaned and littered with previous customers empty glasses and plates. Maybe should be renamed The Dumphouse. Come on management get your act together.

Food seved cold wont be coming here again

Now! Finally a place to enjoy a couple Carlins and some pax of crips. It was bustling and warm. The staff were lovely. The locals were all shapes and sizes but had plenty to say. I just sat back, nodded and supped up, just a perfect morning in shirl. The only point I would make is that the toilets are 100 miles away and up 3 million steps. I worked out its quicker to go in nandos toilets. Fantastic people and staff, lovely prices. Great place

Was a nice witherspoons experience

Not your advantage witherspoon pub

As weather spoons go this was pretty decent tbh

Good value for money breakfast, quick service too.

Very friendly team who are also very helpful too. Great value food and a very warm cosy atmosphere

1st time visiting this establishment with friends. Service and atmosphere were great.

emma was horribly rude to me and my friend, all we wanted was plastic cups and she kicked off with us disgusting behaviour from a manager, we wanted to leave our drinks behind the bar due to the increased spiking she was hostile and outright refused, refused to give her name and we had to seek upon floor staff security tom he was extremely helpful

Typical wetherspoons experience, cheap and cheerful.

We had breakfast here yesterday about 11.00 am. Absolutely disgusting will never eat here again. My breakfast came out stone cold. I asked for it to be warmed up please & was waiting 30 minutes? Again not much better. No butter or mushrooms, beans were a mush mess, bacon rock hard. It was foul. It's such a shame as it's a lovely pub. They need to get a decent chef & a manager.

Staff not interested in customers , managers just want to go home ,shan't come back.

Went in for a drink after eating locally. Bar wasn’t busy but barmaid continually ignored us, serving others. When we asked her to serve us she got stroppy and suggested someone else serve us (there wasn’t anyone else). Walked out without buying anything.

Really nice weatherspoons, the decor is nice and I liked the festive tree and decorations. Guy behind bar on breakfast shift on Sunday was really nice and friendly.

Burger terrible but service and drinks good value xx

Good quality and value, just exemplary service tonight.....and the curry was blooming good too, quite taken by the pizzas at mo'

Went in this evening. 9:30pm. Bar area quiet. Stood waiting at the bar to be served. Two people then walked in after us and got served before us?! When the barmaid got to us we highlighted we’d been waiting ages and people served before us. Response was it’s difficult to know who was next to be served. What? In an empty bar? We commented but that’s your job. Was then told… get someone else to serve You and walked off! REALLY?!? Won’t be back here in a hurry.

Service is good,staff are polite & helpful
