The Sharman's Cross in Solihull

After complaining about food on my last visit I received 25% off. I came on Friday 11th with 4 friends. We all enjoyed our meals this time. I had scampi, friends had chicken and mushroom pie, lay it on chuck, fish and chips, veggie sausage and mash and a Greek wrap...no complaints from any of us. Nobody had sizzler meals so I can't comment on whether they have improved.

Stopped of here on the way home from birmingham to Coventry. Was very surprised how quick the food came out and how good it was for the price I had the gyros and my partner had the sirloin. Both were lovely and steak was cooked exactly how my partner wanted it. The chef working think their name was Ben so props to him on the food. Good place to go if you want decent food for affordable money. Will go again if we are in the area.

Great experience, Bens food was cooked to perfection and really tasty, the kids loved their food as well and their interactions with the rest of the staff

Great food good portions value for money Great service from Ben Food was served quickly staff were pleasant and helpful Woukd definitely recommend

We went with friends who had used this pub before and they told us about their good experience. As it happened, the girl who served us was Jess and the friends said that she had served them before and what a pleasant and helpful girl she was. She was brilliant and served the drinks with a smile and helped us select our food. Will definitely go there again

Always great atmosphere, with welcoming, friendly staff. The food is always so good and much better than others in the area.

Grea food and come out to us very quickly, the staff were also very friendly and helpful to which made our experience very good ,drinks were also a decent price

Food was served in a fast manner, staff were very helpful and friendly, their was also a good selection of drinks to choose from will definitely be returning

I came back today with 5 friends despite the disappointment of our last meals. I was due a free drink from the app but it wouldn't work when various members of staff tried it so i never got it. I couldn't bring myself to have another mixed grill after the last one I had was so disappointing. I had scampi and chips instead. The scampi tasted like it was fried in old oil and the chips were undercooked and hard so were the peas. My friend said his chips were the same but enjoyed the fish. Another friend had a greek chicken wrap dish and said it was lovely. My veggie friend struggled to find anything on the menu she could eat so had a salad and chips. Having eaten here for 15 plus years it's a shame. As I said on my last review..portions are smaller and quality is not as good as it used to be. I have given numerous 5 star reviews in the past but I have to be honest when things aren't so good

Last night was the worst meal we have had here. One meal arrived burned and another wirhout the chips. Very disappointing

Had a lovely family meal after a short holiday. Food very impressive. Very friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend.

We visited on a weekday evening and it wasn’t hugely busy. The food is reasonably priced with good portions. The staff couldn’t do more for you. You had to order at the bar, and they were very knowledgable. The waiter was super friendly too. We will definitely come back! Tip: Dont forget to put your number plate in on arrival

What a lovely welcome to the Sharmas Cross for our Christmas day dinner. The tables was beautiful the way there were all laid out Very Christmasly. All the staff omg there were 💯 brilliant all off them worked very hard as a team. Nick the manager he deserves 👏 a big thankyou xx

A really lovely experience. New menu has so much choice. Food was served hot and delicious! Friendly, very helpful staff.

We use this pub often and its okay but has 2 ongoing issues that the staff just don't seem to care about:- 1. They make up closing time on a whim - last night we were refuse service at 10.40. I could live with that if last orders were called or flashed as they used to be but it never happens! The website clearly states 11 pm closing. 2. The craft beers are never available! Last night 4 of the 5 were off and this is a daily occurrence. Are the staff incapable of keeping them or don't they order enough, its barely worth offering them! As an aside the tables are always dirty with little effort made to clean them once people have eaten & left - its a case of do it yourself!

Very friendly professional staff who are always helpful. The food is good value for money especially if you download their app where You get rewarded for loyalty with generous discounts. The pub is welcoming and clean. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

I love the Sharmans great atmosphere, Nick does a fantastic job with his team to make a great family atmosphere. It's my local pub for the football we all have a great laugh whichever team we support. I recommend this pub for families because it's so friendly, get down to the Sharmans Cross for a great beer in Solihull.

Tried out the new boss burger and curry house feast. Absolutely amazing!! Can highly recommend will definitely be returning.

Eat here once a week, always had a great meal. Wasn’t able to go last week, and so we had the new menu tonight, brilliant and the staff are lovely too.

Decided to take a trip to the sharmans cross for lunch, great food and the staff were very friendly a special thanks to Joe for making our afternoon more enjoyable 😁

Amazing service, they had a lovely atmosphere in there and was a pleasure to be there, I do recommend this place to anyone looking

Came in on a busy Saturday! Staff were brilliant and welcoming, food was excellent also a great place to watch live sport!

Another lovely meal at The Sharmans. Our waitress Maddy was really lovely, friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Always a great atmosphere for sport, football, darts horse racing. Looking forward to the 6 Nations. Good food and good prices.

Came here for the pub quiz with the family, brilliant atmosphere and was really fun. Great service from Hayley who was on the bar all evening, a polite lovely girl and a great asset to the pub! We don’t come here often as we aren’t local, however would definitely recommend, especially on a Tuesday as the quiz was brilliant. Food was excellent, perfect pub grub.

Food was ok but table was very sticky and 2 tables were cleared while there neither wiped down, the cleaning of covid days is well over.

A most enjoyable evening. Excellent food drink and service excellent value. Harvey served us in a courteous and efficient way. Deb and Callum greeted us in a friendly way and placed orders for drink and food. Compliments to the kitchen staff.

We've lived near the sharmans for 20+ years. It's a great community hub, having young children who are now of drinking age it was always a convenient stop, to meet up with friends. Historically it was always a bit hit and miss on the general standard of food, drink and atmosphere. However, since nick and the new team took over and a much needed make over / renovation was carried out, the place is just amazing. Not had a bad meal, a real sense of a good old community pub, Maddie and all the bar staff are always friendly and helpful, In one instance we had a last minute request for a table of 12, Liam the supervisor went above and beyond to clean tables and arrange an area for us to dine in. love calling in at all hours of the day, Would highly recommend for a cheeky pint, night out or a good value high quality meal.

Great Pub with great festive atmosphere. Service was fantastic with everyone cheery and happy in holiday spirit. Food was delicious and served in good time

Brilliant place for the festive time! Lovely warm atmosphere great for some quick, tasty and hot food!

A girl named Jess was very rude to me and did not serve me when I patiently waited and kindly asked if I was next, the cheeky girl gave me a side eye and served the person next to me and then walked off the bar after telling me I was next. She then told me I was being rude when I wasn’t she was very sarcastic and I would hate to have someone like that work in my pub. She needs to learn some manners and how to work behind a bar she is a very disrespectful young lady and very mouthy only serves the young boys that catches her attention I will not be coming back here and will mention to my friends and colleagues how this young lady treated me she puts a bad reputation on the pub and has clearly been raised wrong… picking young lads to flirt with instead of the customers patiently waiting!!! Very annoyed and slow service at the bar.

the food wasnt good the burger was raw and waited ages for food wouldnt be eating here again wouldnt recommend coming here again

Very accommodating staff, professional and prompt service. The Sundaes are a must along with some amazing cocktails

Another superb meal at the Sharmans Cross! Super food, super service and super atmosphere! Thank you to all the staff.

Very good experience in the pub, 5* food had the mega mixed grill and Jacob’s ladder. Very good value for money. Friendly staff. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Great place for a lunch with the family, wonderful now they have the accessibility ramp so much easier for my dad. Staff are always welcoming and attentive.

Had a fantastic experience at sharmans staff were amazing as always especially Kevin always going above and beyond.

Visited Friday and new menu not great for vegetarians if you don't eat garlic or tomatoes but very accommodating. Manager sorted a vegan sausage peas and chips dinner for my friend. I always have the mixed grill but on a plate with no onions..excellent again!...

This used to be a lovely pub with great food and service. On my recent visit I was subjected to burnt uneditable food, a long wait and poor service. When we told the young waiter he simply shrugged his shoulders and cleared our plates. To...

Saturday night meal, atmosphere in the pub was great with the food coming out in good time, staff were brilliant and stayed after for there local tribute act they have monthly!

Discovered this place when having a Group On deal. Now used a deal 3 times and has been excellent. Contemplating returning when there is no 'deal' as menu prices seem better value than other 'chains' pubs/restaurants

Lost its family atmosphere since the re-furb, Shame as it used to be a good family pub with great staff, won’t return anytime soon.

Pretty good physical revamp of the pub but 5pm on a Saturday and one big table of very loud and very sweary drinkers were not managed at all by the staff. Not surprised as staff seemed to be all youngsters, can't blame them for not...

Lovely food and service very happy Alex was more then helpful and polite We will be back from bill and friends .

Came in for a quick lunch, was cooked beautifully and well worth the price, noticed the chefs on shift were Steve S and Ben Q so Thankyou to them!!

Haven’t been here for a while and hearing about the refurb thought we’d give it a whirl. It was always a dark pub with poor lighting but it is lighter now with a more modern feel although a lot of the tables were taken by...

No customer service, they just don't care, eventually got a correct menu, ordered & after waiting 1/2hr had a refund & went to spoons

What an absolutely incredible refurb! The place looks absolutely stunning and feels much more than a local pub! Service was excellent as always especially from the barmaid Hayley who was polite and quick in her service, her beautiful smile brightened up the room! I’ll definitely...

Nice refurbishment but pub taken over by ridiculous amount of tables and chairs! Can barely manoeuvre around the pub!

Had a refurbishment looks great still the rubbish service food out late depends who is in the kitchen whether they can organise and been had recent eye examination. Because what they send out when hey want to send it they should go to Spec savers....

Went for lunch with partner had a 8oz steak was out of this world, staff was really quick with service and extremely friendly and helpful. Place looks lovely since re opened. Will be back for sure

Decided to try the newly refurbished pub. Clearly it has had a a full refit. There were five of us and my partner and I chose the sizzling fajitas and grilled chicken. We chose well. Our friends enjoyed their meals too, and all for a...

The pub has recently been refurbished and they have done a great job. Went for lunch, had a delicious sizzling chicken. The vegetables were so lovely as they weren't over cooked. Really enjoyed the whole meal. The other meals being brought out also smelt and...

Absolutely awful! The pub wasn’t busy at all but seemed the staff still couldn’t cope. When we went up to order our food the girl serving us, I think her name was Maddy, starting talking to another member of staff while we were in the...

Last Monday I visited the sharmans cross , no fault at all Brillant bar maid / waitress leah went above and beyond for us. Definitely will return , food was cooked to perfection.

my first visit here since the refurbishment. The place was quite busy. Staff were friendly and helpful. One of my friends had special dietary needs which weren't well met by the new menu, however our waitress Leah couldn't have been more helpful working with us...

Lovely meals for all four of us. Tasty food and sizzling hot. Friendly and helpful staff. Thank you.

Had food at Sharmons cross today love the refurb and looked after very well by Kev and the team. Thank you for the delicious meals, you're all amazing

Had a really good experience, came a couple days after the refurb and it looks great! Staff were very welcoming and friendly especially Hayley who was very chatty and lovely.

3 of us ordered paid separately one person's meal came out when she sat down, next meal half an hour later then final meal another 10 minutes after. A couple that were served after us at the bar got there food before us. Food when...

Fantastic food and fantastic service. Refurb looks brilliant and so refreshing to what it was before. Staff here are very welcoming and go above and beyond. Had to wait a little time on food but it was extremely busy so didn’t put us of. Team...

Amazing refurb looks beautiful inside and out, popped in for some food with partner but stayed longer than planned as felt so welcoming and staff went above and beyond with great customer service from Brad and Kev, 5 star venue would definitely recommend

Great food, reasonable prices and the staff were great and all our needs were fulfilled with the sports on tv. Would highly recommend!

Recently refurbed, still a proper pub with friendly staff and very good food - new menu has introduced more choice; Josh and Lucy typify the above-and-beyond approach. Highly recommend for food and/or drinks.

Not enough staff serving behind bar took 15 mins to get served New layout poorly thought out The inside looks like a garden inside with the long tables especially in front of the bar

Amazing. A massive improvement on its past, as it has just been fully refurbished with a more intimate feel while retaining a great atmosphere. A great varied menu as well.

Went just before they closed for their refurb, even though they were closing, service and food was still amazing as always. Staff are so friendly and just overall a good time every time we visit. Excited to see what it looks like after the refurb!!

Great atmosphere and welcoming staff. Food was great and would definitely come back. Can’t wait for the refurb.

Came out for lunch with my family food was amazing I had gammon and it was cooked to perfection. Well done to the chefs and the staff who served my food
