The Riftswood in Tamworth

Met friends for lunch good menu choice

Came for a work meal, Alex was absolutely fantastic and very patient with us. Had a fab time!

Great night out for our staff do! Staff were excellent and service was quick

For a sizzling pub, it’s great. Really nice place. Popped in for some average food and had an amazing meal. Our server was Jimmy, really nice guy. Made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back.

Came here with some friends and will definitely be coming again! The food and service were 10/10, could not fault it at all!

Food was lovely and the service was exceptional. Our server, Jimmy, was friendly and attentive without being intrusive and had a very bubbly personality that made our Gran very happy with our visit :)

Lovely place with great food, brilliant service from the one guy who had long hair and tattoos didn’t catch his name but such a great experience!!

Such a nice experience would definitely come here again. Food was great and I was served by a guy who had long hair and tattoos who was lovely great customer service!

Food was really good, compliments to the chef. Nicely decorated, our server was called Jimmy and he was lovely. Will definitely come back, great place for pub food!

Great food as always. Nice to see they have Sky sports, me and the hubby will be watching the villa here tonight

Been coming hear for years always been amazing but year after year it gets better and better, from the bar staff taking orders to the amazing catering staff in the kitchen

Food was great, service brilliant. A new favourite for me and my family, we'll definitely be back!

Delicious food and wonderful customer service! We had a lovely evening there 😊

Had the need to stop in Tamworth overnight last week, and this place was the nearest eatery. Walked in off the street on a Tuesday evening and were immediately offered a booth. Extensive menu, and what the 3 of us ordered (fish & chips, lasagne & steak) was served quickly and was good. Not a big fan of the order at the table system, but hey ho, this is progress. Will definitely call again if in the area

I ordered the mixed grill and paid a small fee to upgrade the steak - when asked how I like my steak I asked for it to be medium - it came out nearly blue, the chicken was cold but over cooked and very dry the sausages were burnt but cold in the centre, the gammon was almost cooked properly and the onion rings and chips were a bit soggy and came out on a normal plate but the table next to us had the same and it came out on a skillet and was sizzling - the tomato was burnt somehow but still cold - not impressed at all - I won't be going back ever - my daughter's food was inadequate also and not once did I get a check back to see if the food was ok - I could understand if it was really busy but less than half the tables were occupied - oh and they forgot the peppercorn sauce which I paid for - like I said I won't be going back again and would not recommend

Amazing customer service and food. We just love to go back and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, food and hospitality.

First time coming to this pub and I can honestly say it’s the best pub food iv had. Iv been to many sizzling pubs in the past and they have nothing on this place.

Went to the Riftswood for a 21st birthday meal for a family friend. Service was great, staff were friendly and thr food was great value for money. Would go again.

We took our grandson and family for a meal yesterday (Wednesday) to celebrate his 18th birthday,the meal we had was excellent the staff were amazing they couldn't have done more to make our grandsons birthday special, thank you all so much for making us all so welcome and comfortable.

Friendly and polite staff, good atmosphere and food was really nice and fresh. Lots of choices on the menu

The staff are great here, lovely bunch and the food and drink make it the perfect spot to come to.

Great food ,friendly staff ,good price when compared with others,drinks are also cheaper than most and a good selection I will definitely eat here again.

They hosted my husbands suprise birthday meal for 20 people it was brilliant. We had the conservatory and it was lovely. Staff were brilliant I didn't get the name of the two staff who couldn't be more helpful for our party We all had burgers or steak and they all come out beautifully presented and tasted lovely and all 20 meals come out together and we're hot Couldn't praise these guys enough for our night Thank you he really was shocked and we all enjoyed it 😃

We're frequent visitors here, when usually it's a decent place. Tonight however, was 1 flame thrower away from an apocalypse. Multiple families with unruly kids running round screaming, loud enough to pierce any conversation trying to be had by us and other families....a very weird atmosphere tonight. The service was a lot slower tonight too, we stood waiting with 2 other couples for 12 minutes at the front desk for someone to show us a table. The food came out but we were unfortunate enough to have been sat at a table where the cutlery had been taken before we arrived. Genuinely happy to have left tonight.

lovely place to have food with the family. service is amazing! would highly recommend the riftswood

The Riftswood Pub offered a fairly busy atmosphere during our afternoon visit. Despite the rush, the staff were quick to serve our food, which we found to be very pleasant and reasonably priced.

Always good fresh food and excellent service by Adam and the team. Recommended.

Went for christmas dinner it was amazing the service was great food came out straight away and was delicious

Great food as always. The staff have always been amazing with us

I went for a meal there was 6 of us the service was quick, the meals was really nice and the staff was really friendly I will definitely go back.

Warm welcome, was seated straight away food arrived within 15 minutes very tasty burger and chips. Possibly needed some music instead of listening to loads of other people's conversations

lovely place to go for food with family or friends and they even host events with live music performances.

Very busy but only one person serving at the bar. Food average but prices good.

Absolutely pointless them having a phone useless 3 days trying to contact them so had to drive there for 1 question

Wasn’t happy or satisfied with food or service

lovely place to have a drink staff are really friendly and is a really clean restaurant

Great family orientated local pub. Lovely food , love the Strongbow .

Nice setup, lovely building. Great food, friendly staff.

I feel like this place never fails to impress me. Cheap food, reasonably priced beer. Yes it could do with a good paint but I like it just the way it is.

Had a festive 3 course meal. It was literally shocking. Was supposed to be a turkey dinner with trimmings for the main. The meat was 2 round slices of reconstituted Bernard Matthews type sandwich filler. There were 2 pieces of potato, the smallest yorkie the size of a jam tart filled with a stuffing ball and a tiny chipolata that had been cremated. The seasonal vegetables were peas and carrots. That was it. Was very hungry so tried to eat it all but only managed half. The apple pie dessert was burnt and the custard instant made with hot water. Disgusting. The staff were embarrassed and very attentative. I felt sorry for them. There were 5 in our party. We were all very disappointed.

Amazing food and the service was excellent, all the staff were friendly and welcoming

Whilst the food was ok the service was not. At one point we were in the que for a drink for over 20 mins. Only 1 person on the bar then eventually another young lady appeared. It was fairly busy and plenty of staff walking around but not on the bar. So we only had 2 drinks all night as we didn’t want another long wait. Which is a shame.

It was a lovely place the food was amazing and the atmosphere was so nice the servers were so friendly

My first time here, food was ok

I felt at ease the moment I walked through the door, clean & cosy food was beautiful the best lasagne I ever tasted, and the staff so welcoming, highly recommend

Great staff, brilliant service. Kieran served us fantastically and bar service was fast and efficient.

wonderfull time got to see me old mates Callum Adams and lee wardall for a cheeky pint up the rah (sadly Callum Adams had boiled egg in his beard and went to a job interview after)

Kieran served the table great The food was amazing as always The bar staff were fast and polite

Lovely staff great service Kieran was especially nice

Really nice place to eat and drink. Staff friendly and good quality/price.

Popped in to the pub this lunch time for a quick drink. Bar Staff very professional, quick and polite. Decided to stop for a bite to eat, and the food was of a high quality and served very quickly even though the pub seemed really busy. Also nice to see the Manager, Kieran working, as a lot of pubs they never seem to be seen. Highly recommend a visit and to try the food out, will definitely be returning.

Lovely staff,amazing assistance. The food was amazing and well cooked but the car park was small bit luckily it weren't that busy but other than that I recommend coming here.

Quiz on a Sunday is great. Especially when you win😂

Great atmosphere! Food was hot and quick service! Looked after by all the staff and would definitely return again in the future

A lovely dinner with family. The food was cooked to perfection, we all have enjoyed the atmosphere and food. We will be back as always ❤️

Greeted very quickly and shown to our table. Told how to order and also told what food wasn’t available. Little wait at the bar more nothing to excessive. Food came out quick and was very tasty. Staff were very friendly and made us felt welcome.

my food was fabulous please give the chef poppy and ped and selena a big hug and tell them that i think they’re awesome they gave me an extra scoop of ice cream AND strawberries on my dish i had a big smile on my face and all my troubles had vanished. i am not being sarcastic. thankyou. also helen is lovely.

Food was really good, and great service from Helen! Thank you😌

Came with my son to meet his new girlfriend and the meals were absolutely delightful so compliments to the chefs All the team members on the floor were amazing I asked for their names so I could leave them a good review so special thanks to Kieran, Helen, Charlotte and Hannah you guys demonstrate good customer service and doing your job with a smile goes miles to improve the quality service you always deliver 5*

We came here not long ago, Food was great, lovely and hot! We made this our local as we too work in ours also! Helen and the team are great! We always love salad and my son loves ice cream from there! Great job team!

Came for food with my elderly mother as it was her 67th birthday and the staff were really friendly and attentive to her needs (we asked for a table with padded seats as she has back problems and we were allowed to sit in one of the large booths) The food itself was amazing and perfect just cooked to perfection Our server was called Adam and i think my mom might have fancied him as she went up to order a dessert from him on the bar even though she never eats dessert Cannot recommend this restaurant enough we will definitely be back Five stars

We regularly visit here for food as the food is outstanding and great for value always enjoyable we also enjoy taking part every now and then in the quiz as the quizmaster Andy makes it a fun night. Staff are all very pleasant on every visit.

Booked for breakfast on the Sizzling Booking facility . Arrived with Family and found the place to be closed. No breakfast. Why was I able to book for a Family of Four. ? So disappointing.

The place is lovely, the staff are lovely people, the food is very good for the prices would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tamworth or for anyone who lives in Tamworth, the place is always busy but the staff are very accommodating

Second time I have had a tough steak here the rest of our meal and the beef short rib was lovely shame really.

Lovely food as always. There was a bot of a wait but it was busy so expected that

staff always happy to help, nice atmosphere, friendly

Everything was great, what more can I say

Good choices, busy but good service.

Great menu in here, gyros was lovely. Only downfall is the cleanliness, need to wipe menus and tables

The food is astonishing and very hot and flavorful, the staff are amazing and very helpful. Would recommend to anyone Thankyou

The food is amazing and the quality is good, the staff are very accommodating and lovely the place is always spotless and very busy. Would happily recommend to family and friends and anyone who isn’t local

Went with my family for a meal had the two meals for 12.50 and the steak and chicken combo the food came out fast the steak and chicken combo came out on a sizzling plate it an eye opener I highly recommend here to anyone

Went today for a meal at the riftswood, fast service and friendly waitress.Highly recommend to anyone as they do great deals.

Came in for family birthday meal celebration sat in the conservatory had balloons and banners up he was a large party of 10 all meals came out on time amazing service will be coming back again soon

Food was absolutely gorgeous, salmon and beef rib was cooked to perfection. Everything was fresh and tasty. Service was great and all the girls were happy and polite. Will definitely be going back there!

Served By Jimmy! What a lovely chap! Food was lovely just needed more cheese on the nachos but no drama! Nice visit as always! 🩷 Thank You 🙏🏽

Been and had another great meal at The Riftswood. Steak was cooked perfectly and great value. Very friendly and welcoming staff, looking forward to going again.

Staff were not pleasant at all never came round to check food was ok. Very abrupt and ignorant. Food was nice such a shame the atmosphere is not good unhappy workers spring to mind

Pub grub, gets busy at usual times, hot day just had salads. Nice and drinks

First time visit and must say absolutely fantastic family place to eat, the food was absolutely amazing and tasty was served promptly and well presented (I had seasoned salmon) really really good food. The staff we're wonderful and very hard working, you can see they work very hard but still have a lovely attitude towards customers really appreciated thankyou. The only thing I would say is maybe another member of staff is needed as it looked like all the staff and managers work very hard to keep the place running great and it is great you really should all be very proud of the way you all work, Amazing. Highly recommend a visit or two to the Riftswood sizzler Thankyou again. Joe

We went there tonight to celebrate my 40th (19th July) service was quick and the food was well presented, a couple of flies landed on my daughters meal so she refused to eat it, spoke to a lovely man and told him what had happened and he swapped the meal for a fresh one. Couldn’t have asked for a better service. Everyone enjoyed there meals and the children enjoyed the secure space outside to play. Will definitely go back again

Really satisfying visit Food was excellent Wait times were great Staff very professional guy that served us was Jim we were well impressed.

We went today for my moms birthday was greeted straight away shown to a table and food was lovely and hot and even had dessert and staff was so polite friendly and helpful definately go again thankyou

Came for breakfast on the 7th of July, friendly quick service, chilled atmosphere, good value. Had a small breakfast and orange juice, tidy clean place but could do with an upgrade/refurb.

I came in for breakfast this morning and it was lovely, there was unlimited coffee, tea and toast, the classic breakfast is a decent sized portion for the price as well, and the staff are really welcoming. I would definitely recommend this as a spot for breakfast in Tamworth if you need somewhere to go in the morning.

My local pub for some 22 years - the place has changed rapidly over the years, but the staff are very friendly and accommodating, especially to regular customers. Helen is a godsend, and nothing is too much trouble

Came for breakfast this morning with my son. Food as really nice and I'm glad they have brought brekkie back! 😎✌️👌

Large group booking, staff were great and very organsised! Food was lovely and well priced! Great service all round!

Great food, lovely atmosphere friendly staff.

Very nice food. Steak and ribs also the vegan food was perfectly cooked.

Lovely food, nice staff and great value for money!

Food was good at my last visit on 13th May, however I was disappointed when it came to order when allot of menu items were not available. There was no sign displayed at the front and we were not advised of these item shortages until it was time to order, leading to me having to return to the table to see what alternatives my party wanted.

Great selection of beer! The team are always wonderful and polite especially Helen and Ellie both girls are great members of the team! Bring back the breakfasts!

Food was excellent and good for the price 10/10

Made welcome, took my disabled brother for lunch, very accommodating and the food was hot, good portion sizes and tasty, Good value for money. We asked to moved to another table as my brother was getting a bit warm in the conservatory and we were told absolutely no problem to move.

Went for a family meal for granddaughters birthday. Well looked after quick efficient service. My granddaughter enjoyed her meal as did we all .

Still not a place I'd like to keep revisiting.

Good food, clean and friendly efficient staff

Always come on a sunday night for the quiz great atmosphere lots of friendly faces. Staff very welcoming and food always great value for money.
