The Swallows Nest in Bromsgrove

Friendly and welcoming staff and tasty food, enjoyed with good company - what more can you ask....

Food was average. Soup tasted like it was from a tin. The main was nice and ice cream is ice cream. Nice venue and staff were attentive.

Great place for a catch up. Food was awesome

Lovely atmosphere, decor is just lovely. Staff were so helpful and polite. Didn't wait long to be served. Food was good quality and very tasty

Love coming here! Never been a disappointing time.

Nice place, slightly overpriced but nice place to chill with a pint.

Above average Pub Food. Pleasant establishment with a far from usual Menu, very attentive and pleasant staff and good atmosphere.

Decent gaff. Impolite cat Overall wouldn't visit again

Amazing service everytime!!! Shoutout to James and the manager who pours a sensational Guinness EVERYTIME. Service is 10/10 staff treat you like their own. They are fabulous. Food is also good and fresh. Thanks guys !!!

Lovely sitting outside on a sunny day 😎

Great Sunday lunch today service very good Guinness even better 5*****

Great food. King prawn kebabs, nice hummus and flatbread. Mini- pudding would be full-size elsewhere. Waitress Meghan very pleasant. Slight wait for drinks but we weren’t in a hurry,

Modern and sophisticated style pub. Nicely decorated and good views from garden, no food on this occasion.

Fantastic Experience at The Swallows Nest We had an amazing time at The Swallows Nest in Bromsgrove! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re in the mood for hearty classics or something a bit more special, the menu offers a great selection that caters to everyone’s tastes. What made our visit even more enjoyable was the exceptional service from Chelsea and Craig. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their warmth and professionalism really stood out and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and fantastic service.

Staff were friendly and attentive, especially Stephanie who couldn’t do enough for us - thank you. The food was delicious as always and the atmosphere was very relaxed - the perfect Sunday lunch

Fanatic food and service, our waitress Steph was amazing and accommodating, she went above and beyond for us at the pub. We will be back soon.

Always a pleasure visiting The Swallows Nest. All of the staff are soooo very friendly and helpful. There is one member of staff that I would like to mention. His name is Cameron. Every restaurant should have a Cameron !!!!!!! He is so polite, friendly, helpful, charming and professional. Such a joy to be attended by him. Thank you

I’ve honestly never had such slow service. Waited ages to be served for drinks and then even longer for food. It was obviously locals first as people going to bar after me were served first. Shame as it’s a nice pub but it really was bad.

Food was delicious and the staff were welcoming and friendly

Visited with my mother this week. I would advise to book as besides being very spacious, the place gets very busy. Very well organised and great service. Good choice on menu. Great portion sizes. I wished I had ordered their skewers as they looked delicious.. Great place for a lunchtime visit. Close to public walking footpaths around so great for visiting after walking. Dog friendly in the bar area.

Lovely food surrounds and service could not fault it

One bar man doing the restaurant drinks from 4 waitresses 15 mins to order food from bar. Menu the same for 6 months. Didn't go back to order a second drink went to the sun pub up the road so I didn't die of thirst.The kitchen staff belowing out SERVICE Was like the cries from a cattle market. Pub going down hill used to go there weekly. Lovely patio and view.

Great visit once again. Good good, great atmosphere and customer service, staff can’t do enough for you. Porn Star Martinis second to none!

Service alway amazing. Welcoming. Food is amazing This is why I have booked for my husband 67 and retirement party in November

Really loved this place. Food was amazing and staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Great and even wowed our top chef friend

Well what a breath of fresh air! Cameron was our first contact! Got to say he has an amazing demeanour fabulous people skills! Super friendly! Food was amazing and of very high quality! Will definitely be back again👏👍

Great pub after a winter walk. Very dog friendly but you can only take them in the bar. Accommodating to babies but probably not so great for toddlers. Decent menu at a reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere, particularly in the winter and the staff are so lovely.

3x5 Stars at a good price for food of exceptional quality

Today my friend and I enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the Swallows Nest. I would like to say thank you to the chef for the great food that was freshly prepared and the gentleman who looked after us who was professional and really attentive. We will be back.

Really nice pub but we had someone holding court on the next table

Pleasant staff and surroundings. Extremely dog friendly, more dogs than patrons so good if you want to take your dog.

Food and service excellent. The staff are very friendly and courteous, the bar area caters for those with dogs and there is also a separate dining area for those who prefer a more personal service. Food menu is varied and of high quality. A great place to eat and relax.

Excellent service. Just left and had to big them up.

Refreshingly there are unusual items on the menu. Plus Aspalls on draught

Excellent food and service. Very enjoyable meal.

Lovely experience couldn't fault it until was asked to move sears at 8.40pm cause a 12 year old parents want to sit in the bar area next to a group of lads

Absolutely fantastic experience. Booked for my daughters hen meal with nannies etc. (before onward bound in to Birmingham). Staff were so attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. I didn’t get the name of the young man who served us but he was so thoughtful and attentive. Food was fabulous and all hot even though 19 of us. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you for my making my daughters day one she will never forget ❤️

We came in for a family breakfast for my mum's birthday today and without booking ahead we were able to get a table without any issues. The service was friendly and they were able to accommodate a few minor requests around the kid's breakfasts which was appreciated. Sausages and bacon were all nicely cooked and the hash browns and grilled tomatoes were good. The drinks were good and for me personally one of the better cappuccinos that I've had in a pub. Sadly then we come to the negatives. Firstly, in a virtually empty pub, 10 of us couldn't be seated together so we were split across 2 opposite tables which made it feel like we were in 2 groups rather than 1. There was no room to be able to combit the tables so we were having to physically move between tables to speak to each other. Almost all breakfasts were ordered with poached eggs, and not a single one amongst us had even a remotely runny yolk. One of the reasons I would always order a poached egg over any other kind is because it's usually easier to guarantee the runny yolk. My wife and sister both ordered the avocado on toast and I honestly don't know what was going on with it but it was disgusting. I can only imagine that the avocado had been pre-portioned out and frozen to be thawed to order, because the texture was just wrong, the colour was off and it was bland and watery and managed to taste nothing like avacado. And for the £11-12 price tag, you would expect at least fresh avacado. My wife would normally polish a dish like this off, but are less than half of hers. My sister also left a lot of hers uneaten too. Most of the dishes came with toast which was not great. It was quite thin and with very evenly golden brown all over which is unusual. Not quite sure how it had been prepared but it was incredibly dry like a Melba toast. Even the portion of butter provided couldn't save it and it was tough and chewy to eat. Again texture wise everything was just off. Unfortunately, of the 10 of us that dined today, none of us actually had a meal without issues. It was nice to get together with family, but the food and overall experience was not great and not one we would wish to repeat so we will likely not return.

Booked for lunch and had the seabass dish which was very tasty. However, the ribeye steak was chewy and undercooked for the preference chosen - we were compensated with a free coffee/tea by the plesant manager. Nice atmosphere in the dining room.

We had a lovely time celebrating our anniversary. Becky served us and she was lovely and attentive. Food was beautiful would highly recommend

Lovely menu, food was lush, excellent service

fantastic service and fantastic service

Very friendly place but a tad expensive

Great Sunday roast. This is the meat trio. Perfect sitting outside. Was driving so unfortunately couldn't sample the beers. Can't wait to get back.

Nothing could be improved, it was the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had. We’re going back again tomorrow!

Never had a bad meal and all the staff are so nice with nothing ever been to much for them

Excellent evening. Fantastic food and service was amazing as always.

Lovely interior and outside area great view afternoon visit busy for 3.oo weather was good

I should imagine that it would be fab for a bite to eat. The table set up is lovely. I was just there for a beer or two 🍻 yesterday & must say that the outside seating area is fabulous. But the view out ways everything. Just stunning. Value for money was better than I expected. Recommend for anyone to try. I came back last Sunday to take out my Mum and Dad for Sunday lunch. The meal was lovely as was pudding. The service was also excellent. Definitely be back.

We have always enjoyed visiting and the food has been good. This visit the food was average and over priced. Slow service. The staff however were friendly but slow.

Food was excellent. Chunky chips were probably the best I have ever had. Steak was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back.

Quiet disappointed after travelling fm the other side of Birmingham to try out this restaurant. Firstly we ordered a bottle of wine which we would have expected the waitress to pour for us but only to be placed there with a tissue which was soak in the ice bucket. The food was ok but the prawns that was ment to be in garlic had non as it tasted like it was just boiled and put on the steak. Then when it came to the bill we had paid and left it the table as no one came to check as they were busy talking to eachother behind the bar. Only to be flagged down as we were setting off in the car to ask if we had paid😔.. quiet embarrassing to be honest. If you had checked the table or us then you would have known it was there in the first place .. we wont be returning

Cosy little country pub / restaurant. Food is always good ,they do always run out of things on menu though . Staff always very helpful and friendly, and puddings are to die for .

Lovely food, friendly staff, the roast was fresh and portions plenty.

Visited for lunch today with my husband and brother. The place was very busy but we were always given attention by the serving staff. Our server in particular was very smiley and chatty without being imposing, which was nice. The food was delicious and generously portioned. Good value for money in a tastefully decorated restaurant with a beautiful surrounding backdrop of countryside. Will go back. 🤗

Very nice place indoors and out. Just called for a couple of beers.

Had the set lunch time menu, 2 courses for £19.50. Good sized portions, tasty and great value. Lovely outdoor seating area with a lovely view of the countryside.

My second visit to the swallows nest. Pub and service are good but not the signature burger. Main burger meat was tough and slightly burnt. Supplied sundries ok but wouldn't recommend it if this is the normal standard.

We were very disappointed at the lack of items available from the menu. I ordered the king prawn skewers. However when they arrived I could not eat then as they had not been "cleaned" correctly. We ordered 3 mini desserts which took quite a while. Two arrived and then after another 10 minutes we had to ask where the other dessert. Staff were pleasant and tried their best. We were reimbursed for one dessert as an act of good will for the prawns. Overall a very disappointing experience. Sadly, after all the years of going tonthe swallows nest and after a third consecutive disappointing experience we won't be visiting again.

Food was fantastic and great staff 👍

Only gave 4 stars as no veg wellington which is why we went ,however the food we had was lovely and service was amazing

Beautiful food, great atmosphere and perfect for a get together. The waitress in particular was very attentive and kind.

Very good staff......probably won't go back !!!!!..fish OK,..the rest no great shakes for over £20....

Food was superb and staff were friendly and very helpful. Location is also really lovely!

Everything perfect , first time here and it won't be the last 👍

I had a great night out for our work mates leaving meals. Thank you to Chelsea for serving us with a friendly smile all night.

Lovely food. Great service and nice surroundings

Absolutely love this place. Great food, drink and atmosphere!

The staff were very helpful, polite and personable. Service was efficient and the food was excellent.

Ben and all the folk at Swallows Nest were brilliant. My wife has various medical problems and needs assistance. Everyone was super helpful, friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. It's becoming our Go To place. More power to them all. Check it out, you'll love it.

Great place to have a spot of lunch. Good range of beers and spirits. Friendly staff clean and prompt service. Dogs welcome. Car park is standard but can get busy. Highly recommended

Great pub great staff.....very friendly place

Came on a Saturday lunch time, plenty of room as we could choose outside or inside. They've got a good range of gins and plenty of choice on the optics. I had a passion fruit gin with regular tonic which was lovely. To eat I had the grains and greens salad with king prawns and a side of halloumi fries. I was amazed when the prawns came out, they looked like something you'd be served on holiday! The meal was really tasty. We've been here a few times, it's always been a good pub to visit, it's clean, the staff are very friendly and there's plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

Had the wild garlic lamb skewer, with feta salad. Really enjoyed it. Service was great too!

Fabulous lunch date here. Great food, served quickly, great service, fabulous atmosphere.

Been here several times as live quite nearby and never had a bad experience! Friendly staff, good selection drinks, good food, dog friendly bar area and lovely views in the beer garden.

Only popped in for a drink and sat outside, beautiful weather and views

I’ve been here many times and enjoyed it. This time the service wasn’t great at all, we had to keep trying to get people attention to be served a drink as no one checked back. Also it took ages to get the bill they left it there and didn’t take payment for ages. Shame we were willing to spend more money. Not sure if it was a one off but staff were just standing around talking and up the bar.

Obviously the restaurant was not fully prepared for people with discount vouchers as a large number of items were not available on the menus and even after ordering we were told items woul have to be exchanged. Meals were relatively small and one of the four ordered was cold in places.

Good food nice polite staff but lacked in atmosphere because there weren't many customers but it did mean that we got served quickly.

Was booked as a party for 8 , we called numerous times in the day to say we had 2 extra people but our calls were never answered so they weren’t aware of the 2 extra people we brought along. Because of this they couldn’t fit us inside on our original table, which is fair enough as it was unexpected. However we then went outside where there was a lack of attention and service. The food arrived cold and each dish arrived 10-15 minutes apart. Our server - cam was lovely and very apologetic about the service however the meal was very unsatisfactory for the price and we are still hungry. We won’t be coming back!

Beautiful country pub, I just had a quick pub lunch but will definitely be back again to try the rest of the menu. Charlotte and the team were fab.

Terrific lunch at one of our favourite establishments. Drinks as usual were superb as was the choice of food on offer which catered for all tastes. The service standards were excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great visit this afternoon. What a lovely, bustling local pub!

Friendly atmosphere and helpful welcoming staff

What lovely staff you have so warm and friendly. We enjoyed our meal very much, competitively priced.

Been here several times as one of our locals but today's meal was disappointing. Scallop and tempura prawn starters poor, tiny scallops and greasy prawn cracker thing not nice. Both had roast beef , meat great but the vegitables and yorkies were cold. Inconsistency of food quality now putting us off. Time to try elsewhere. Shame as we use to like it there. Went again on 12 th June half the menu unavailable, ridiculously poor needs someone to investigate what has gone wrong.

Things seem to have improved since my last review. The lamb skewer and salad was quite nice but the purple tortilla was like an after thought and total unnecessary addition to the meal. I had the lamb because there were no chicken or orange skewers left.

Good food in nice surroundings, service with a smile

Excellent dinner at the Swallows Nest in Romsley for my wife’s 40th birthday. Between 10 adults and children everyone loved their food. And the service was excellent. Steph couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely pub with a great outdoor area. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food and excellent service. Thoroughly enjoyed lunch

Amazing meals and experience, all the staff were amazing would recommend to anyone

Thr staff were very friendly and helpful. Place was clean. My reason for giving 3 stars was the cost for the quality of food. Nearly £18 for a hard pie , a small dollop of mash handful of green beans and half a carrot that had hardly been cooked. I did think this was very expensive for what it was. We Orderd out your daughter a kids meal. The plate came out boiling hot , she is is only 18 months so could of burnt her. £8.50 for a dry chicken burger with a choice of one side. I think for £8.50 you could offer 2 sides such as chips and peas or beans. I don't think an extra handful of peas or beans is alot to ask for to go with that really

Excellent meal with good service

Lovely evening at The Swallows Nest. Service was on point, food came out surprisingly quick considering it was busy. Both the starters and mains were delicious. The service was great, Chelsea looked after us. The atmosphere was great and even had a live singer which was very nice. Will definitely return and will hopefully get to try a dessert.

I’ve been here seven times for drinks which has always been pleasant, especially as it’s very dog friendly. We came on Sunday for dinner and it’s was very nice, we all really enjoyed. I would really recommend coming here for food and drinks!

Enjoyed a really tasty and nicely presented breakfast this morning on the outside terrace - the service was excellent and we were a large group with many requests - well done for getting it spot on

Very enjoyable meal in a lovely setting

Excellent food, and lovely staff, had a really good evening 😊
