The Selly Park Tavern in Birmingham

Went for breakfast with the family and two dogs! Lovely family and dog friendly pub, fantastic staff and the breakfast was wonderful, and really reasonably priced!

The service from Lauren was excellent, the meal was, as always excellent too. Colette and Frank always give you a warm welcome. Great refurb

I popped in with some family just for some light lunch. The chicken ciabatta was top notch and staff and owner very friendly. Also dog-friendly which always makes a pub 10 times better!

Fantastic pub. Just refurbished and great staff and beer/food choices. The manager is very welcoming. The pub has a friendly and calm atmosphere. Recommended

The Selly Park Tavern is a lovely place to visit. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and the food is lovely. Perfect place for just a drink or a family meal.. definitely recommend

Lovely service and well cooked food, as always. We had brunch, coffee and beer. Frank is kind and friendly. We always feel at home here. Thanks!

Homely and welcoming tavern with a good range of food and a helpful and friendly staff, especially helpful to those with allergies and intollerances. Food was hot and tasty, and the on the whole the quality of the food was spot-on. Only disappoint was with one of our meals where the 'greens' were sprouting stalks with no tops on and these were hard and inedible - and were left. We have eaten here a few times and this was the first time we have had a bad part of a meal; as ever for the most part very good, but would hope that the chef does not send out such an obviously poor vegetable portion in the future.

Having been to this pub a fair few times, (we don't get to get out much), but this will always be our go to place. Frank is amazing. He literally cannot do enough to please and help you. With his calm, happy, and friendly demeanour, he's a really sound gentleman! Collete and Frank look after is brilliantly, and we appreciate the lovely environment they create at the Tavern. Mum and I are thankful for the lovely experience we have each time get to visit. Excellent choice of food, and drinks are spot on! Thanks guys!

Ciabatta bread accompanied with soup cold and small portion. Over cooked calamari , crispy prawns, and garlic bread. Tomato Soup was warm and very tasty. Unfortunately from recommending to family to visit, today’s food was appalling.

Fantastic meal and drinks Ember Inns at the Selly Park Tavern. Aine provided great service. Courteous and prompt. Couldn’t have been better

Thank you to Frank , Collette and the team who made us very welcome at the Selly Park Tavern. Lovely traditional pub food served promptly. Recommend the Shepherds pie and the Chicken and Bacon Salad. Lovely night exchanging presents. Traditional pub.

Fantastic night out celebrating secret Santa with friends! Great atmosphere in the pub and really fantastic staff. Very welcoming landlord and landlady Food was lovely and such good value and the mini puds with coffee were not at all mini. Make sure you try this friendly family pub!! xx

Fantastic Christmas Day,atmosphere was brilliant,staff were as good as always,top day all around 👍🏼Collette and Frank never let you down.

Came for Xmas Dinner, food and staff was amazing and so helpful. Dinner was very nice and hot. Staff so friendly

Great food and great service. Had the mixed grill, it was absolutely incredible! Friendly staff behind the bar. Would recommend to friends and family. Will definitely be back!

We pre-booked a three course Christmas dinner. As soon as we sat down the waitress came and asked if we were ready for our first course. We asked for a few minutes but the manager/owner then came over and informed us that they had a large party coming in so we needed to begin our first course now. As soon as we had eaten each course the next was bought out giving us no time to digest our food. We felt totally rushed, which resulted in us not being able to finish our meals. The food itself was delicious but due to the rushed service I will not be returning.

A really pleasant experience. Thoroughly recommend a visit. Fabulous hospitality. Dinner was the best meal I’ve tasted out in quite a while. Tender rib eye, a variety of seasonal vegetables and crispy roast potatoes. Service was the excellent. Atmosphere is cosy, comfortable and not rushed. Definitely intend returning for future meals soon and recommend to others. Value for money.

Poor service, only ordered 2 meals, 1 with chips and 1 with mash potatoes, got no mash just 1 chips, small simple order and got it wrong, god knows what would happen with a large, my order was a delivery through just eat hence couldn't complain at time

Popped in to meet friends, nice evening and great food, loved the steak. The staff were really helpful and friendly as always.

We’ve been here a few times and every time we’ve had a great experience! The foods always really good and not expensive, staff are great and super helpful, its Dog friendly, it’s a clean place! It’s also just good for a few drinks, nice crowd and family friendly! Great place, highly recommend!

Perfect lunch. My sirloin steak medium to rare perfectly cooked. Excellent price for both meal and wine. Perfectly managed with warm atmosphere

Unfortunately not good for vegetarian coeliacs…or coeliacs at all! Despite two prior phone calls to arrange my food prior to a large family event, and thinking we had arranged a simple omelette, was told upon arrival, by the chef, that that wasn’t possible. I was offered scrambled egg on toast, to then be told they didn’t have any gluten free bread. Ended up with a hard boiled egg and salad whilst the rest of the party enjoyed a three course meal. Menu has no gf info on which is very unusual nowadays.

Wonderful staff who really bend over backwards to be kind and considerate! Food is great too - and they know a lot about it.

Frank, Anna and Abby were all so welcoming and Friendly. Great Pub, great Beer and such a warm welcome. Thankyou very much!!

Since new management have taken over, they have turned this place around. Warm, welcoming and friendly staff, especially Collette, Frank and Matt. Can’t do enough for you. Food is great. Would highly recommend.

Perfect little restaurant to come to if you want to chill out or if you want some really great food. I’ve been coming here several months and have found that if you download the Emma app you get really great deals which bring down the cost of the food, especially in these tight times where we’re all trying to save money Staff are great and they engage with everyone whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time through the door. Saturday night are great when I have the karaoke on, and I’ve been told they’re going to have live music as well, but I’m not sure when. It can get very busy at times And quite often have delays on food. It’s dog friend and they loved our little baby. Matt and Emma really made a real fuss.

I had an amazing night tonight. Despite a delay in the food, the service was excellent especially from Frank who was very professional as the establishment was short staffed.

This is a nice local pub, not to noisy or crowed and ideal for a chat with friends. Quiz night on Wednesays is also great. The food is good pub fair, i had nachos (one of the best nachos around), burger and treacle sponge. We visited on a Friday so took full advantage of the bottle of wine offer.

I visit this place fairly regularly, but today Mother day I have to say was an absolute treat. The place was buzzing, the staff were so attentive and on point. The food was absolutely top quality. For the money I can tell you this for sure, you will not get a better Sunday roast anywhere in Birmingham as good as that for what you pay. Unbelievable quality. Hats off to every one of you that worked tirelessly throughout the day to make Mothers day that little bit extra special 👌

We came here for a meal, food was great! Staff was lovely and was very willing to help in anyway she can! We will defo be back again!

Some really great staff here very friendly and helpful. Good food with great offers. I eat here about twice a month with friends on average, sometimes more. Daytime and evenings. The lunch menu has some very affordable meals and the food is usually great quality...

Went to selly park tavern for works Christmas meal night out on 08/12/22. Party of 8 people for meal at 7pm. Planned to order off the festive menu only to be told by staff half the food on there was not available. Such a shame...

Fantastic night as always with Collette and Frank….half price beer is a bonus!! Any chance of this becoming a regular thing,pub was packed!?🤔

Went to The Tavern for a birthday meal in a group or 4. We were all really impressed with the quality of meals, service and value for money. Meals were lovely, staff members were pleasant and efficient, atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. Will definitely return.

Booked a table for 4 adults. Had drinks and food here . Very busy this evening, but didn’t have to wait long for food . Lovely tasty food , great service from frank , Collette and Sam . Would definitely recommend this place . Very...

Always a great visit to the Tav,staff are great , Collette and Frank are always fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Building could do with a refurb but the outdoor furniture has been improved greatly recently.

Popped in here with my friends the other day. Great atmosphere and the food the tasty. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely be back soon!

Great atmosphere highly recommend Staff very accommodating to all our requests Will definitely be coming again

I have written a review before about The Selly Park Taver. We have been so many times since our last review and we can honestly say everytime it's been beutiful food. The prices really are fantastic, Ive said it before I don't know how they...

Part of a chain this is a nice pub with a good menu at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. Register car as you go in as its easy to forget after an hour, or so!!!

Make sure that you register your car in the pub, or you will get a parking charge notice from Euro Car Parks. Excellent food and service.

We love it. Missed them so much during lockdown. We're glad they are back, better than ever before. We will keep coming back for their great food and service.

Just received a parking charge notice for £85.00 after parking in a disabled bay and displaying a blue badge (BB). So wanted to make fellow disabled patrons aware that a BB is not valid on private land, but the EA2010 is valid on private land.

I had a lovely lunch with friends today made all the better by the warm welcome from Frank and Collette. It's so good to have them back managing The Tavern. Warm atmosphere and very clean, comfortable surroundings. Fresh flowers in the ladies loo was a...

Welcome back Collete and Frank. Really enjoyed your return celebrations last night Great atmosphere with a buzzing mixed selection of customers Will definitely be back see you soon and keep up the great work

We booked the Selly Park Tavern for my parents 45th wedding anniversary family dinner. They had their wedding reception here 45 years ago! We had a large group and the bar and eating areas were also packed. The service was brilliant and the food was...

Fantastic to have Collette and Frank back,together with Emily and the team it’s a win win! Service,beer and welcome were all first rate.

The quality of the food and portion sizes are very poor. I only had starters... bear in mind these are between £4 to £6... prawn coctail... two dollops on one lettuce leaf? The mushrooms and Japanese chicken were so overcooked and rock hard. Son had...

This is a great venue for a private party. The staff were welcoming and professional. The hot buffet was plentiful and good quality. The food and drinks were good value for money

The guys at the selly are lovely. They always go the extra mile every time I visit. Emily's doing a wonderful job. Even the chef Sarah smiles and says hello when finishing or starting work

The pub has really improved lately with very prompt service and helpful staff. It’s busier too which reflects the improved atmosphere. It’s a bit dated decor wise but the experience with the staff makes up for it. Let’s hope the improvements in the pub and...

Can’t begin to say how much the pub has improved since Emily took over,a brilliant team effort too.Atmosphere is so much better,a pleasure to visit.

Now Emily and her team have taken over the running of the Selly Park it's finally just like old times!! It's cleaner, the food is great and the staff are motivated and happy to help in any way they can..nothing is too much trouble!!! Good...

After a number of years in the doldrums the SPT has finally got its MOJO back. Congratulations to Emily and the team for turning the pub around and good luck to the new manager whoever he or she may be. You will be taking charge...

I came for lunch with my wife last thursday and thought it was a bit expencive and small potions. but how wrong was i. we had a fixed menu soup, fish n chips and treakele sponge pudding. yes a 3 course meal each for under...

First visit since Covid and was little concerned due to restrictions being lifted and visiting with parents - need not have worried - staff wearing masks - lovely and clean and sanitisers available. Food and staff alike were excellent and attentive and as soon as...

This pub needs a refurbishment, the decor is old and outdated. The food is overpriced and very average.

Me and my partner visited for sunday lunch. Booked for 1.00 as when we booked a bit later previously there were no roast dinners left. This time there was no roast pork. However, we both booked an alternative roast and the food was lovely as...

TERRIBLE. We went for lunch on Sunday, Oct. 4th, Firstly, we were put on a table where, every time the door was opened, we about froze. We asked if we could move tables and were told they were fully booked., Even though, we could see...

We went to the Tavern last Monday, my first visit, with my son and another male friend. We had pre-booked and arrived about 5 minutes before our 7:00 pm booking. We were shown straight to our tables, there was no wait. There was a small...

Odio escribir esta reseña porque me encanta este pub y este era uno de mis lugares favoritos, pero creo que hay que decirlo. He estado aquí 3 veces desde que se permitió que los pubs volvieran a abrir y después de hoy creo que se necesita más continuidad. No me malinterpretes. . . . . este lugar tiene medidas Covid en su lugar y son elogiados por eso. . . . . insuperable. Mi primera visita no reservé una mesa porque no habíamos planeado ir, pero al llegar nos recibieron y, habiendo dicho que no habíamos reservado, nos dijeron "travieso travieso" (??!!) Pero como el pub estaba tranquilo no podía ver que era un problema y de hecho no lo era. Buena comida y unas horas felices. En mi próxima visita, decidí reservar porque no quería ser "travieso", así que llegué a la hora asignada y, al llegar, me dijeron que "simplemente siéntate donde queremos". . . . . ni siquiera molestarse en comprobar si habíamos reservado. Una vez más, el pub estaba tranquilo, así que quizás lo suficientemente justo. Mi tercera visita decidí reservar una vez más y al llegar no había nadie en la puerta y el pub estaba tranquilo una vez más, así que supuse (obviamente incorrectamente) que podíamos "sentarnos donde queramos". . . . . . Rápidamente me detuvieron y me dijeron que se había asignado una mesa. . . . . como "estamos completos toda la tarde". Para mí estaba tranquilo, así que tal vez la gente no esté apareciendo. Sin embargo, nuestra tarde fue agradable y la comida genial. . . . . no hay problema alguno. Una vez que mi amigo se fue, decidí quedarme y tomar unas copas más. Alrededor de las 4. 45 pm Me dijeron que mi mesa estaba reservada en otra hora y que tendría que irme. . . . de nuevo lo suficientemente justo. Poco después de las 5. 30 pm Me dijeron que habían llegado las personas que querían mi mesa y que tenía que mudarme. El pub todavía estaba muy tranquilo en ese momento y, para ser justos, estaba terminando mi bebida de todos modos, así que me cambiaron a otra mesa. Apenas me senté allí cuando otro miembro del personal se me acercó y me dijo con bastante rudeza que tendría que mudarme de allí a las 6. 30 hs. . . . . . eran alrededor de las 5. 40 pm a la hora. Cuando salí alrededor de las 5. No había nadie en la mesa en la que yo estaba sentado anteriormente, así que obviamente me mintieron porque no habían llegado y cuando miré, estaba reservado para las 6 pm. Me encanta este pub pero no me siento cómodo aquí en este momento. . . . . . . por favor no alienar a sus clientes habituales.

Enhorabuena a Tavern por hacerla bastante fácil de usar. Buena cerveza y servicio amable, pero lamentablemente no de todos, de ahí la calificación de 3 estrellas. Si bien no me gusta señalar a las personas para las críticas, el hombre del cabello largo detrás de la barra es grosero, desinteresado y hosco. Él era el mismo antes del encierro. Si no quiere servirme, busque un trabajo alternativo. ¿Quizás alguien debería hablar con él y explicarle qué significa hospitalidad? Es una pena, ya que se refleja mal en otros miembros del personal que hacen un esfuerzo.

Beautiful food, well presented in a timely manner. Very polite and friendly service. Tables well spaced for the virus avoidance Parking free as long as you enter your registration number in very simple machine on the bar when you enter, signs all over the car park, and in the entrance and around the bar and dining area, if you miss these, you most definitely should not be driving.Cleanliness was 100% Lighting was good, low but not too low.Prices are very reasonable I will difficultly be back, support your local bars and food establishments that have taken the time to space tables out, place signs informing customers of what procedures are in place and spend a load of time and energy deep cleaning and cleaning after every customer etc..Big TY to the staff for going above and beyond during this messed up period.Ps I ordered from the set menu , less than 12 quid for a lovely 3 course meal and a latte. Kiwi Steve.

Can’t complain about food or service here as it was great, my issue is I parked in the pubs car park, its quite dark on an evening, neither myself or my wife noticed any signs on our way into the pub, just found out ive been issue and £85 fine by a parking company for not entering my reg into a computer screen inside the pub somewhere, again i or my wife didnt see one, can i ask why this is happening to customers spending their hard earned at your pub? The car park is not exactly somewhere where people would park and not use the pub, theres nothing else around there, its specifically there to sting customers who are unaware or forget to enter their reg numbers, terrible

Regularly visit. Went on Sunday couldn't get a Sunday Dinner at 15.45, barman made sure I bought the drinks bef orehand

This place is with our doubt a proper good provider for all tastes and groups whether it's food, drinks, friends gatherings and a little bit of banter. The SPT is without doubt the best place to be for miles and is welcoming and the staff always make you welcome and are definitely friendly 10 out of 10per

Lovely atmosphere and, more importantly, fireplaces! Bar staff were friendly, and was served by someone called mel who was really helpful when I wanted to make a booking

Gran pub! con un personal amable y siempre servicial. Tuvimos muchas comidas aquí, cada vez buenas raciones y gran calidad y lo mejor del pub que reciben perros bien educados también. Lo hace mucho más especial para nosotros como familia. Gracias a todo el personal y la gerencia.

Visité este establecimiento nuevamente este fin de semana y no sé por qué me molesté. El pub está sucio, el personal es grosero e ineficiente y los baños se acaban de reparar después de más de 8 semanas, a pesar de las numerosas quejas. El personal toma una tableta grande, incluso en períodos de mucha actividad, y trae su propia comida y bebida del garaje. Constantemente jugando, rompiendo vasos y platos a propósito. El arrendador es inútil y casi siempre está de vacaciones. No estoy seguro de que iré de nuevo. Que pena por ti Selly Park Tavern.

Our 10th visit to this establishment on Christmas Day and once again did not disappoint. A fab festive atmosphere and a very enjoyable lunch. Jim and the team work hard to make sure everyone has a good time. Special thanks to Nikki who looked after us. See you next year!!!

Visited on Christmas Eve and was surprised how cozy this place is. They even have real fireplace, event with mild weather outside, it seemed a bit too hot. I had a drink with my work colleagues who apparently use this place on regular bases. Free parking as long as you register your car inside. Looking forward to come back and try out food.

Fuimos a un evento de bolos con un almuerzo buffet. Excelente buffet con un montón de deliciosas patatas fritas calientes. Fue un poco molesto salir al pub principal a tomar una copa, pero con una pequeña fiesta no vale la pena abrir el bar en el callejón. Sin embargo, asegúrese de registrar su automóvil o terminará con una multa. Gran personal y bien cuidada cerveza de verdad.

Chose from the daytime menu, a starter plus main meal. Chicken was bland, faggots burnt, peas inedible.

What a great place to have a bite to eat and enjoy few drinks, great value food and big selection of drinks, staff was friendly and efficient.

Had an amazing meal... had the cheese and bacon burger which was nice and my sister got a free bottle of Prosecco for her birthday awesome

Popped in on Sunday to meet friends to find staff running round squirting condiments over each other. Couldn't get served so ended up walking out. It's like the Adams Family running that pub, Motisha was running the bar and Uncle Fester was no where to be seen, again. Apparently he's on holiday.

Popped in for Sunday evening bite to eat and quiz. Great evening, staff and came third in the quiz. What more could you ask for.

Visited the Tavern yesterday. Very nice pub with friendly smiling bar staff and manager would recommend to anyone to go a good range of drinks and food.

Go there most weeks to watch the bowl's and have a drink,staff are good and efficient,but manager seems to have a problem with the bowl's,been a bowling green there for over 70 years but seems he wants to put table's and chairs on it,he would do better to repair what's already there than take up spaces on the car park with them that nobody wants,It appears he now wants the bowler's off the green when they want to work on it costing them hundreds of pounds,I wonder what the brewery's intension is, they need to know.

Afternoon visit on a hot day when we wanted to sit outside and asked about the garden at the rear.

I met a friend for lunch. The room is large and spacious with a large outdoor seating area. There is free parking. We viewed the menu on line so were able to order quickly. There is a good choice of menu including a specific vegetarian and vegan one. I had sea bass which was nice and my friend had a vegan option which she also enjoyed. Prices were reasonable, I would recommend and will certainly return.

I met a friend for lunch. We had viewed the menu on line so already made our selection. There is an excellent choice of foods including a specific vegetarian and vegan menu. I had sea bass which was nice, I liked the fact that the sauce was served in a jug enabling me to limit the additional calories. My friend had a vegan burger which she also enjoyed. Meals are reasonably priced. The pub is large with an outside eating area. A car park is available and free for guests. Based on today’s experience I will return.

Good friendly pub. We enjoyed our meals that had good portions of well cooked food. A great range of reasonably price cask ales. Staff are very helpful.

I chose the trio of roast meats- pork, beef & turkey with a stuffing ball, roast potatoes and vegetables. It was ok, nothing special. Sadly the meats were very bland & lacked taste.

When visiting our local on Friday and meeting up with friends, two families descending on us with the most unruly children I have ever come across. As a mother myself, I’m all for family pubs but this was completely unbearable. The parents had no control over their children and did not bat an eyelid at their behaviour. They did nothing to teach them how to behave in public. The noise was horrendous, screaming children crying at the slightest thing, and literally throwing themselves to the ground at our feet. Even crawling under our table and through our legs! You couldn’t hear yourselves think let alone have a conversation with your friends and family. Yet the parents did nothing. Across from us there was even another family who despite being right next to the disabled toilet with baby changing facilities, decided it was perfectly acceptable to change their baby’s soiled nappy on the table, where people eat. Faeces was all over the table and floor. When asking the families with noisy children if they would mind keeping it down, the one father threatened my 74 year old dad. As this seemed to be escalating quickly, I asked to speak to the landlord who was extremely rude and discourteous. He failed to see what they were doing wrong and said ‘well they’re only children. They’re middle class, what do you expect’. He even threatened to bar our friend and fellow local because he was angry at the situation.

When we visit Cannon Hill Park we often pop in for a drink, however on this occasion it was a Tuesday evening and fairly quiet, but the service was disappointing.

went to sit after ashes test great service and atmosphere, very efficient service with a sudden influx of people all at one time

This is a nice friendly pub with a good atmosphere, staff are friendly drinks are on point, table service is good to. Nice place to spend on the weekend when the weather is nice

Tradizionale pub inglese, abbastanza tranquillo (era un venerdì sera) per un incontro tra amici: ottima birra, cibo buono, servizio quasi nullo. Occorre ordinare al bar e pagare subito. Ma ci si fa l'abitudine. Prezzo non conosciuto, ma ritengo sia nella media. Un buon locale.

Esta es la segunda vez que visito Selly Park Tavern. No puedo criticar el servicio y la comida. El personal es amable y acogedor, incluso recordándonos la segunda vez y preguntándonos cómo somos. Tuvimos comidas principales en ambas ocasiones y estaba delicioso. Es un pub acogedor con un ambiente agradable y recomendaría una visita aquí

When down to the sally park tavern and got a lovely welcome of the bar staff. Also had a wonderful meal. And always came round to make sure everything was ok. To all the staff. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Mr M. Murphy.

Después de pasar hoy para el almuerzo. Realizamos un pedido de pescado y patatas fritas y una envoltura. El pub no estaba lleno, así que cuando tuve que subir después de 40 minutos y preguntar cuánto tiempo más. Lo sacaron de inmediato y se notaba que quedaba bajo una lámpara de calor. El pan se secó y usted tuvo que buscar las 11 fichas escondidas debajo del pescado. La ensalada de la envoltura era marrón en los bordes.

It’s a very nice pub with good drinks, the staff is very nice and friendly, the crowd in the pub was very calm it wasn’t a rowdy pub. Good to visit

El Selly Park Tavern está en una buena ubicación y un pub local. En el pasado, tenía un propietario cariñoso, así que era un buen lugar para visitar. Desde entonces, la administración ha cambiado regularmente y la calidad es impredecible. Decidimos intentarlo nuevamente con amigos recientemente, pero aunque tiene una clientela regular, simplemente no compite con otros lugares. La comida estaba bien preparada pero mal repartida. Mi amigo había pedido guisantes blandos con su comida y, sin embargo, el bote de salsa solo tenía una mancha en el fondo. Los guisantes también estaban aguados y no eran agradables para comer. Mientras que él tenía demasiadas fichas en su plato y dejaba muchas cosas, tenía una pequeña porción escondida debajo del pescado. Ninguno de nosotros espera grandes comidas, pero sí esperamos lo que pedimos. Nuestras esposas tenían diferentes comidas que estaban bien sin quejas. Este no es un lugar barato para comer, así que necesita un poco de uniformidad en lo que sale de la cocina.

Mother’s Day treat . Had a nice couple of drinks. Staff are very nice and friendly. Didn’t have anything to eat, but there were plenty of people ordering and the Sunday roast looked really nice

Had another nice visit to the pub.

Nice place with some out door heating to take the chill off. Staff were very friendly and clearly enjoy working there. Always a pleasure to stop by.

We visited this pub before the meal next door at the curry house next door, staff very friendly & no long waiting at the bar

That was the closest pub from the place I've been working all day for a congress.

I visit here as its local, always found the food really good value, service not too bad, but they always seem really short staffed.
