The White Swan in Birmingham

Lovely food and Charlotte and Will were great- very attentive and friendly. Thanks again guys!!

Me and mum happened to cross The White Swan and popped in to see if we could get a Sunday dinner. The setting and atmosphere was just wonderful. The food was outstanding. We had driven from Leicester to Birmingham and would happily do the drive again to eat at The White Swan. The staff made you feel so welcome with great service. Highly recommend. Thanks for making our day.

We was served by Luis today and service and it was amazing. Food was excellent and atmosphere was great highly recomended

Very prompt service with a smile

Such a lovely atmosphere in there, The staff were so lovely and respectful, and they helped my autistic brother out from not getting overwhelmed by being calm and patient with him. 10/10 place would recommend.

Great food, the staff were friendly and helpful and it was a very good atmosphere. Would recommend!

This place was amazing! Food was spot on and extremely fast, the servers were wonderful and attentive, and the restaurant itself is beautiful! Will definitely be going again soon!

Great food, lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff - food was incredible and service was fast and attentive to my dietary needs. Plan on coming back soon, great selection of beers on tap.

The place was really nice with great outdoor seating area, the food was top tier and the staff were incredibly friendly, would definitely recommend!

Came here with my son and daughter and to say the least- we had a blast. From the food to the excellent service to even the atmosphere, all of it was just perfect. Will definitely be a returning customer 10/10 recommending this to my friends.

Lovely restaurant, great service for Mothers Day. Tasty food and good portion sizes. Overall, good value for money although the drinks are pricey.

Amazing staff, Sandro was very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Chefs are extremely talented, food flavours complemented each other, the crispy Duck salad kept giving, the warm ginger and carrot slaw, the crunchy noodles and the fresh taste of pineapple ketchup! Ooo well worth the visit, and to top it off with Toffee Crèmè Brûlée, what a surprise, a smooth rich toffee sauce to greet you when you get to the bottom definitely Delicious! 😋

Nice cosy atmosphere, just went in for drinks, been here a few times now and always pleasant. Food is really good and well presented. Definitely reccomend to visit.

Fantastic lunch today, stunning place inside and out and the loveliest welcome. Was like being on holiday. Highly recommend, the lunch deal is great value 👌🏽 will be back very soon!

Service a bit slow but the food was really good. Went for Sunday lunch, the desserts so tasty as well!

Honestly I was disappointed. I am a celiac and I couldn't view a menu to tell me which things I could eat, I kept checking with the waitress but she didn't know either and the ipad was down. I had to guess on every meal. The service overall was poor, no menus when we sat down, I had to ask for them, the drinks arrived late, the food arrived before the drinks. The food itself was poor too, we ordered a roast dinner and the meat was fatty and overcooked. The waitress also wanted to charge us extra for our cocktails which were delayed and we ordered in place of dessert on the set menu. We found that the tables in front of us were being well attended too but we were forgotten for most of the visit., unless we got up to ask for things. It was really poor service, I won't be back in a hurry.

Lucie and Olivia gave excellent bar service when I visited this evening and the drinks were fantastic. They are a credit to the pub!

Went to the white swan on Sunday, was beautiful food and the lady who I’m assuming is manager was very welcoming. Only issue I had was I had waited a while for my drink to come but it was very busy and they then sorted me a free drink which was lovely. The food was delicious and the vibe was lovely x

Fab afternoon, looked after so well by Sandro.

Can't really say about food never ordered but nice place to go

Myself and my partner visited the White Swan 24th March 2025, with my son who is autistic and they were so understanding and helpful. The food and service was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble.

Best Sunday roast I have had from a pub in years, had to wait for our food because it was so busy, staff were so nice even offered to get us free drinks because of the wait. The food was well worth the wait

This place is still number one for me. Friendly staff, excellent service, excellent food. Cannot fault it.

Had a lovely meal here, the service was attentive and friendly and the food was amazing- big shout out to the battered cod and chips and the pea risotto. Thank you White Swan!

Once again we've been super impressed with the food and service at The White Swan with fine dining and a great menu with plenty to choose from.. my wife enjoyed the line caught cod and chips whilst I really enjoyed the pan fried sea bass. I opted for the side dish of garlic butter and chilli prawns washed down with a Devon Red cider. My wife enjoyed a cider followed by a pinot grigio spritzer. Debbs looked after us at our table and a compliment must be paid to Antony the head chef who prepared our amazing food. We finished with a delicious dessert, I had a pannacotta and my wife had a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. The ambience on the Saturday was very relaxed and it is a classic country dining experience in the leafy area of Edgbaston with a lovely kept garden and building..

Great customer service from all of the staff especially Sandro! All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, definitely recommend!

Brilliant experience for our function at the White Swan! Sandro’s service was especially excellent! Strongly recommend

Sandro provided a lovely service tonight. Food was great. Thank you

Ordered a brownie as promised would be quick. Pub was quiet and best part of an hour and reminders to the team later and still not here...

Great service by 2 great people! Debs and Sandro :)

Aa lovily place I will be back again

We came here for sunday dinner and we were served by Sandro. The food was beautiful and Sandro was the perfect host. He was really friendly and upbeat, checked in on us frequently (but not too much that its annoying) he really is a testament to the restaurant and a wonderful member of the team

The Sunday lunch was very enjoyable and Sandro was very attentive.

We had a fantastic time at the White Swan. The food was incredible and the serving sizes were very generous. Sandro was incredibly welcoming and we had a lovely time. We’ll definitely be coming back!

excellent service, outstanding food, clean and promo atmosphere, Sandro was the most amazing waiter!

I love this place. Such a classy place with a great atmosphere and ambience that makes me come back everytime. Sandro & James were the best waiters, I cannot say our lovely the service from them was!

Came here for mine and my partners anniversary, the Sunday roast was amazing. Very full. Sandro was our host, he was fantastic, always checked if we needed anything, perfect service. Would love to come again.

very delicious nice chicken and brownie. nice people and nice place . best staff is Sandro.

Sandro was a great host and food was delicious!

Amazing food and even better service. Thanks Sandro for making our first visit great! Will definitely be coming back

I came in during lunch and, short on time for their lunch set, opted for the steak fillet sandwich—and it was lovely. I appreciated being given the option to choose my steak’s temperature, a detail that speaks well of the restaurant’s commitment to quality. I went for medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. Although a fillet can sometimes be a bit tough, this one was mostly tender and exceptionally juicy. The dish came with a side of skinny fries that were perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully fluffy on the inside. Complementing the sandwich was a beef dripping sauce—essentially a rich jus—that was simply amazing. Overall, a very good experience. I’d rate it 9/10 and will definitely return.

Charlotte is an absolute asset to this venue, I had my hen party here in the private space, from the outset, Charlotte was absolutely sensational, her prompt and helpful and friendly emails were so encouraging and she went out of her way as well as her colleagues on Saturday to make the day absolutely fantastic for us, I can not thank them all enough, my day was absolutely fabulous because of them and I already am trying to think of another reason to have another occasion with the white swan. The food was fabulous, the drinks constantly flowing and the team couldn’t have been more amazing if they tried. Beautiful venue with beautiful humans, so very very very grateful!!!

Sandro was very friendly and service was excellent.

Lovely food, haven't been there for years. Was a bit busy, glad I had prebooked a table

Lovely food and very good service

Lovely birthday lunch with my daughter. Great service and well prepared good. We were made very welcome even though we didn't mention the birthday. I thought the battered fish looked 'pale" but it turned out to be the best I've had in a long time!! The batter was ] perfect - airy and greaseless. Perfect. Wonderful white chocolate creme brulee too.

Sandro was amazing, a true asset of the company. Service was amazing and he was extremely professional yet friendly. Made our lunch perfect!

Me and my partner we had an amazing experience here today, food was very good and tasty, the service was simply amazing by Sandro , his an asset to the company , we definitely going to visit again soon 🙂

Fabulous evening for dinner. We were served by Sandro who is one of the most attentive members of the hospitality team. Sandro made such an impression on my grandad and made him feel 20 years younger when speaking Italian to him! 100% recommend and will be coming back!

Sandro was amazing! Very lovely and attentive to me and my friends! Welcome to the Physician anytime!

Very busy, needing to book in advance.Food is excellent and good service.We were given free coffees and deserts as we had to move tables because of a party booking.Very considerate of them

Lovely food and atmosphere. Food took a while but staff were helpful and gave money off bill and a drink on the house without being prompted.

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome. The staff are absolute lovely! Brilliant service, good food - highly recommend. Sandro is an excellent example of what wonderful customer service should be like. One of my favourite places to eat .

Fabulous evening. Great ambiance, food and excellent service from James. Thoroughly recommend. Can't wait for next time.

Went for valentines with my husband , we were waited on by Sandro, he looked after us excellently, very happy man couldn’t fault him at all 10/10.

Visited on the 12th February 2025 , for lunch. It was our mother’s birthday and she has dementia. Not only was the food delicious , Sandro was patient and helpful , and we did not feel rushed . Our mother doesn’t get out very often and the experience wasn’t over whelming for her. Thankyou to Sandro and the talented chefs who cooked our food

We recently visited The White Swan for a Valentines meal. This is the second time we’ve eaten here and we couldn’t recommend the place enough, the Atmosphere is so relaxed yet elegant, the staff are really friendly and attentive and the food was superb. Special Mention to Debs who has been exceptional on all out visits, friendly, professional and along with the other staff members really made us feel welcome and added to our experience, Thank you to all the team. We have already booked back in for Mother’s Day and will no doubt be back for a few visits before then. Ian & Emma

Went there for Valentine's day, really great 3 courses, including a steak that looked and tasted so good that my partner considered giving up being a vegetarian. The waiter Sandro was fantastic, friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Cocktails were lovely too, will definitely go back.

The best place in Harborne to chill out

Great experience, Sandro is an absolute Gem! He was training Anna at the time Who was also super attentive and helpful. Learning from the best I assume! Delicious food, quick service and friendly atmosphere. Thanks everyone !

Very lucky to have received a voucher for 40% off mains. Had a great lunch. Delicious food. And a very warm welcome from James,Felipe,Beth and Debs (Manager). A real asset on my doorstep. Sandro is a great addition to the team.

We chose the White Swan for a small group celebration lunch and thought it was fab! The service was warm, friendly and attentive (especially Sandro) the atmosphere was perfect and the food was great (as usual) Thanks Guys!

A lovely experience. Great food and a lovely waiter Sandro. Love Sheila x

Great experience, waiter Sandro was amazing! Would deffo recommend x

The food was excellent and Sandro’s service was top class!

Brilliant roast dinner, huge, fresh yorkies and delicious, tender meat. A warm welcome from every staff member and brilliant service with a smile from James. Compliments to the kitchen team!

Friendly warm welcome for a Sunday Roast lunch with my family. Choice was very wide and the food was tasty. Lots of sides and sauces available with lovely service from James

Visited for dinner with some friends. Food was great and our waiter Sandro was lovely, he gave some good recommendations and provided a great service. Will definitely be visiting again.

Had an amazing dining experience at White Swan! We started with grilled tiger prawns and salt & pepper squid both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The highlight of the starters, though, was the scallops, probably the best I’ve had in Birmingham served with a rich, creamy sauce that complemented them beautifully. For mains, my wife chose the 3-cheese pizza, which was indulgent and packed with flavor, while I went for the rotisserie chicken in a spicy honey sauce. The chicken was juicy, tender, and had just the right balance of sweetness and heat. On top of the fantastic food, the service was great, attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back! 5/5 ⭐

Liked the menu and loved the service in a nice location, well worth a visit if you like the quiet style pubs

Attended a remembrance meal and had an amazing time. Food,atmosphere and service was 10/10 would highly recommend. Special mention for Sandro who looked after everyone and kept smiling while running around all afternoon, thankyou so much xx

Came here for lunch with the family and it was very good lunch. The steaks were cooked very well. Beth, our waitress, was friendly and helpful, it was service with a smile. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

Went to the restaurant around Tuesday midday. Sandro our waiter was very helpful and nice in facilitating for us. The cheese pizza was spectacular. Prue on the bar was also excellent.

Had a great meal on Saturday, food was 10/10, fantastic service from Sandro. would recommend.

Came for dinner with my family, the server Sandro was amazing. So friendly, excellent service and a credit to your company. Food was brilliant as always! Be back soon!

Lovely lunch to celebrate our son’s graduation. Thanks to Charlotte for looking after us so well 😊

Fabulous Charlotte looked after us for a lovely celebration meal. Great food and service. Thank you - we will be back. 🙂😀

Incredible place to have lunch at. The food was delicious and Sandro gave us an excellent treat. I will repeat and I recommend the place to everyone.

Great food and excellent service. Relaxed and welcoming, special thanks to Sandro who took care of us all night and provided some of the best service I’ve received in years.

Amazing place to have lunch with friends and family. The supervisor Sandro really kind, we receive and incredible treat!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, we were served by Charlotte, sticky toffee was reference level.

Had a few really great meals out here now. We sit in the bar area which is relaxed and kid friendly. The staff are lovely, and the food is good and still manages to be reasonably priced, particularly if you choose well.

Fantastic Sunday lunch with friends with first class service from Sandro. Duo of beef was excellent.

Driven past this pub on the way to Harbourne many times and decided to stop this time. Took a while to get attention of staff but once we did, found a table, ordered and paid at the bar and all good from then on. 2 course lunches pate with toasted bread and squid, both nice. Fish and chips with garden peas for mains and mostly good, chips a bit over cooked and peas looked a bit overdone but these were lovely Well presented and would return as parking which is rare in this location

A shocking decline in quality at the White Swan. For the prices (>£50/head) the food is dreadful defrosted Iceland junk.

1st visit will definitely return food and service was excellent highly recommended

Went today for a small family get together. Food was spot on. Good size portions and very tasty. The service was lovely. Gent with an accent initially then a younger lad. Both lovely and the first chap made our little 5 year old feel so welcome. Will 100% be visiting again. Only thing i would say in the section we sat it was a little cold, wife ended up having to wear my jacket. But definitely will visit again.

Lovely pub with great food, and atmosphere. My wife and I had fish and chips, proper pub style with great portion sizes. For dry Jan they have Peroni 0%. Great service from Sandro too!

nice place to catch up with friends ,👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

First time me and wife had been to the white swan in a couple of years and I don't know why we hadn't been back sooner, we had a fantastic Christmas lunch that was piping hot at a very reasonable cost, and the service by debs and noelia was absolutely amazing, really attentive and courteous, and if you ask noelia kindly she will show you her mom and dad's Christmas lights which are spectacular, definitely will be booking for the new year, Ps 10% off if you have blue light card Pps parking was a little tight but obviously that was down too it beeing absolutely full with diners

Spent Christmas lunch here and was so good we came back on Saturday for another 3 course meal. Hats off to Debs who is manager - you have a great team of staff. Christmas lunch was hectic but everyone had a smile and friendly greeting. Food was superb. Well done to you all.

Came for meal with friends. Great menu selection. Food and cocktails were amazing. Waiter was friendly and chatty - Sorry didn’t get his name. Will defo be back 😊

Lovely food and experience both for adults and families. When it is busy,it can get a bit tricky to hear one another, but if you are tucked away, it's easier. Beautiful atmosphere and restaurant and bar area are separate. Parking available and it is road into main city centre routes.

Can't recommend this place enough. Had a great night, and Beth was there to make it special. Perfect recommendations and even better cocktails made by her. Well worth the trip. Hope to try the food soon.

Immaculate place, and Beth was the best bartender I've ever had. She had recommendations for anything I asked for, and super nice to chat to as well. Couldn't ask for more.

Not having visited here for nearly 4 years where we had a poor experience, I can honestly say the current management, front of house staff and kitchen staff are truly excellent. Took the family here after botanical gardens and food, customer service and overall care were amazing. My daughter has a nut allergy and staff were great in supporting this and advising what we could and could not have. Extremely attentive and put us at ease. Beth was great and we look forward to returning.

Booked our family Xmas meal here for yeaterday and I have to say what superb service. BETH you were amazing and such a star, Thank you!! Food was great, atmosphere was great, you helped with my father in wheelchair and just made everything so lovely and enjoyable. Thank you Thank you for a wonderful service, greay food and kindness. Xx Kang Family. PS: you have great veggie options too.

Popped in for a pre-Xmas meet up with my friend and wow! The White Swan did not disappoint! We were seated and greeted by Will and then left in Sandro’s capable hands. He is so attentive and extremely charming. Our drinks were delivered swiftly and our food was phenomenal! I have allergies and they ensured that my food was bought out separately with all of the modifications I’d asked for. I started with some pigs in blankets (it’s Christmas after all! ) whilst my friend got the chicken liver parfait. Both were good size and presented beautifully. For main I got the pork belly, and an additional side of the chive mash which was so lovely, and my friend got the hand carved turkey dinner - which looked delightful! For afters I got the mince pie tart with custard and my friend got the kumquat Christmas pudding with brandy sauce- a delicious end end to a fab meal. The food was hot and tasty and the setting was truly lovely. Deb and team always make a lovely atmosphere and I highly recommend you try this venue!!

Excelelnt food, service an ambience.

A wonderful lunch with the girls , the staff were fantastic and so so friendly, we were welcomed into the doors with open arms and made to feel very welcome, the food was perfect and so were the drinks!
