thyme kitchen in Lichfield

The food here really is superb. Ate from the brunch menu, dog friendly area of the restaurant can’t go wrong, hard to beat.

We enjoyed ourselves very much here on Saturday morning. We had an amazingly cooked breakfasts, those beans are incredible! 😲 and our drinks were lovely too! Staff were very friendly and accommodating and we will definitely be back soon ☺️

Fab food, service and place. Left truly stuffed and will be back again soon. Thank you!

Excellent Brunch. As always. Huge range of dishes. Great vegan options.

Had a lovely lunch. The food was brilliant any everyone was really helpful.

Wonderful customer service experience, great food. Really enjoy the vegetarian breakfast and I will be sure to visit again soon.

Great place for brunch, lots of unusual dishes as well as the traditional ones. Some great veggie options

We had Mother’s Day brunch here. Food was delicious, service very efficient and friendly. Definitely visit again.

Went here this morning for a Mother's Day breakfast, and overall, I was really impressed. It was my first time visiting and the food was amazing. I had the full English breakfast, and it was delicious. The only disappointing comment I can make was that the service was slow. Initially, it was great, but we were one of the first tables there. Food and drink came out promptly, but after that, we struggled to get assistance. I went up to the bar to order more drinks and had to wait a while to be able to ask for the bill. After saying that, though, I do look forward to visiting again soon. I'm really interested in trying their Sunday Roasts.

Lovely brunch again, we will be back, loved the loaded hash browns with chorizos

Another fabulous meal at the wonderful Thyme kitchen. We spent a lovely long afternoon eating beautiful sweet potato hash followed by some very excellent cake. Everyone was unfailingly kind and helpful 😁

Amazing service and friendly staff. Coffee was so good and so was the food. Location and atmosphere really nice. Will definitely come back to try other dishes as i couldnt make up my mind on what i wanted. The cakes are also so good, i got a hazel nut cruffin to take home.

Enjoyable birthday breakfast shared with friends made even more pleasant by friendly service and relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant good menu Great friendly service Wonderful food Thank you we will return

Beautiful place, lovely food and great staff. Will definitely be back

Great selection of innovative breakfast/brunch options. Eggs cooked to perfection in a lovely environment with great service.

Incredible as always!!!!!!! A must for anyone who fancies fresh, beautiful food in wonderful surroundings, served by incredibly helpful staff

Excellent lunch. Nobody rushes you, lovely friendly atmosphere.

A really lovely afternoon at Thyme Kitchen on the back of an Xmas voucher pressie. The three of us had a brunch dish with 2 drinks and stayed more or less inside our £50 spend. The atmosphere was buzzing and my mushroom and veg. pie was amazing. Will definitely be back! Great surrounding independant shops for a post-meal browse, too.

Great food and wonderful service. Thank you!

Great produce, excellently cooked & presented. Plenty of attentive staff. Great coffee, will definitely be returning. 👍👍👍

Friendly service, fantastic breakfast. Reply enjoyed ourselves - highly recommend!

We went for Sunday roast. The service was fast and the food was delicious. We will definitely be going again!

Went here for Sunday lunch with friends a couple of weeks ago. What a lovely place, the staff were very friendly and attentive. The place was very spacious and you didn’t feel as if we were crammed in. The food was delicious, everything was cooked perfectly. The beef melted in your mouth and the mashed potato was deliciously creamy. There was a good selection of vegetables and we ordered cauliflower cheese and the mashed potato as extras. All four of us really enjoyed it and would definitely return even though it’s a little way to travel, it’s definitely worth it. A little gem!

Love Thyme kitchen! Food is always excellent with so much choice !

Pretty restaurant with lots of nooks and crannies. Very polite and attentive staff who appeared well trained. I had the corn fritters, they were very nice. Fresh and well presented. The array of cakes looked delicious but, I didn't indulge. I didnt see any lunch type items on the menu, which I would have liked to choose from.

A very friendly personal service and a good and unusual menu

8x of us went today for breakfast, only 3x finished, they make their own baked beans & they are just not nice, I had the big breakfast £13.80 1x sausage, 2x rashers of middle bacon, pot of awful baked beans, 6x small tomatoes, mushrooms 2x poached eggs, it was all served warm, not hot. No one asked if any of us had any allergies, that is an important & very easy thing to sort.

Lovely calm atmosphere, super service and fab food

Very friendly and accommodating, we enjoyed the food and atmosphere

Sunday roast - roast potatoes overdone couldn’t be bothered to cut them after so long lunch was OK would not go again for Sunday roast

Highly recommend. Very tasty food, great service, great atmosphere. My 13 year old said it was the best sandwich she's ever had (maple syrup breakfast bagel) Food portions were large. Quality ingredients. And most importantly the tea was perfect

Perfect place for brunch. Great service, food and atmosphere definitely be back.

Really lovely! we visited as a group of 4 adults, We were impressed with the menu, everything ordered was delicious. I can’t stop thinking about the flavours. They have something special here, we will definitely return.

A wonderful afternoon tea with abundant savoury and sweet treats, all hand made and all absolutely delicious! Tea on tap and the best atmosphere - thank you Thyme Kitchen!

Great place, very busy so advisable to book. Food as always was great, lovely staff too, great service polite and always smiling.

Delicious chorizo and excellent coffee. Job done.

Excellent all round. Food, atmosphere and staff

Lovely Sunday lunch. Didnt have to wait too long between courses.Very friendly staff. I would highly recommend.

Our party enjoyed everything about Thyme Kitchen, the food was delicious, the service was excellent and the whole place has such a lovely vibe. It was my daughter’s birthday and the staff made her a personalised message board. Would definitely recommend.

Had a delicious brunch, food tasty, fresh. loved the sausages and special home made recipe bake beans!

This was my first time visiting Thyme Kitchen and I will definitely be back, everyone was warm and welcoming and our waitress Kate was absolutely fantastic, she was kind and had a great knowledge of the menu, she didn’t make us feel rushed to order and checked everything was ok for us. The actual restaurant is in a beautiful setting and it was clean and inviting as soon as we walked through the door. Thank you for a lovely brunch, the menu beat our expectations with plenty of options to choose from.

Service was excellent, really friendly staff. Food was very good, burrito fantastic however eggs on the English breakfast were slightly slimy. One area for improvement- we didn't like how every one was sat together in one small area of the restaurant when there was so much unused space as it made conversation difficult as it got very loud with different tables conversations. Will definitely visit again however!

Lovely as always, shame about the road closure but no real issue with taking the diversion.

Fabulous food, we all enjoyed our brunch and delicious cakes.

Fabulous atmosphere. Friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. Great food. Well worth a visit. Highly recommend 😁

Only criticism of this fabulous place is that it was a little cold. We have booked for 10am so maybe it warms later on. Otherwise fabulous breakfast !

Great place for food and catchup with friends/family. Nice menu and choice, great atmosphere and friendly staff. What’s not to like!

We both had the chicken and mushroom pie and they were delicious. We first had the chicken and mushroom pie over 2 years ago and remembered it being really good. This time was no exception. They are so tasty. The staff are really friendly no matter how busy they get. A true gem of a restaurant

Food was even better than we had expected. Only very small negative, as the staff tried to squash us into a table with limited access due to there being a party having an afternoon tea, even though there was plenty of other room available. They did this to three different groups in total and each one asked to sit elsewhere.

Overall good but bacon was poor and toasted muffin and bread too small and we are not big eaters.

We had Brunch at Thyme Kitchen on Friday 24th January 2025, We can honestly say we will be back. It was a warm atmosphere, welcoming staff, the food was amazing, the yolk of the poached eggs, were very yellow, I have never tasted mushrooms like them, amazing and I can honestly say the baked beans were amazing they were there own, very tasty. Portion sizes were very good, loved the individual butters, and the coffees were beautiful. Also liked the butchers, farm shop and art centre very close to Thyme kitchen. A definite hidden little gem.

Will definitely book again when in the area. The Sunday lunch was really nice and well worth it.

What a gem of a restaurant, nothing short of amazing. The menu was diverse and unique, offering an impressive variety of dishes to suit all tastes. Bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. This place delivers on all fronts. The atmosphere was equally lovely - warm, inviting and good for children too. The service was friendly and attentive, striking the right balance between being helpful and giving us the space to enjoy our meals. Add that to the ample choices on the menu, at good prices, it's a spot that truly has something for everyone. I'm shocked having seen a review that it was costly, considering the premises and location, staff and food costs, and the clearly talented chef, the quality they provide is extraordinary for the price. Great for parking, lovely shops at the centre, easily accessible and a good outdoor seating area for the summer. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their brunch game. We will be back, not only for brunch, but to try your Sunday lunches!

Lovely breakfast Quick service Nice food

We had a lovely birthday brunch. Everything was perfect thank you

First time visiting today and won't be the last! Gorgeous little cafe restaurant with a lovely cosy atmosphere. We ordered a veggie breakfast and mushrooms on toast and both were sooooo delicious! Our food and drinks came out quickly and we're both really hot which is great. Our server was so friendly and made us and our dog feel really welcome. Beautiful spot and definitely recommend

We had brunch as a family of 4. Really friendly waitress and lovely service. Great surroundings. Good food too. Will definitely come again.

Lovely brunch, lots of fab choices and friendly staff

Visited for afternoon tea and morning coffee several times. Cinnamon buns are to die for! Afternoon tea selection delicious and fresh. Service friendly and helpful. Lovely!

We went for Sunday lunch. We thought it was satisfactory. The food was okay. Our main waiter was good. The soup was very salty. The roasts were fine with nice vegetables especially the carrots. It would have been nicer to have the gravy in a separate jug so you could put on the amount you like. Bizarrely, the brie and cranberry sauce starter came with what was clearly strawberry jam . A waitress took it away and then returned to say the chef said it was cranberry sauce. That says something about that particular chef's attitude or ability or both. We were given another without any sauce. After we left they phoned to say a sweater had been left and was it ours, it wasn't, but I thought that was good service. December 31 2024 Over Christmas we discovered a kind of cranberry sauce - Ocean Spray - which is like the one we were served and thought was strawberry jam. It is totally different to the homemade cranberry sauce we're familiar with but, nonetheless, it must be the one you served. So The chef was right and I apologise for questioning his ability and attitude. Best wishes.

The menu choices are very good and the quality of produce used makes for a very good meal. Presentation of food was good and the service very good. Atmosphere is just a little noisy in the main eating area. Would recommend.

Every time we visit we are never disappointed. The staff are always lovely and to food amazing.

Lovely place, parking was a little busy but it was on the run up to Christmas and there’s lots of shops that use the car park. Lovely relaxing vibe, staff were very lovely, service was fast I.e being seated with menus and took drinks order, took our food order when coffees were brought out but once food had been served was difficult to flag down a waiter to re order coffees (not sure if this was because we were placed in the back corner). Coffees were lovely, food was great! a lovely place to go, will definitely visit again!

Lovely brunch. Great food service and atmosphere. More bread with the meals brought when asked xx

We had a lovely time having a meal.with our friends, the food, atmosphere and service were all perfect.

Great service, Boxing Day sandwich was a revelation. Garlic mayo ??,GARLIC MAYO?? It made a fantastic combination. I’m definitely having that again, pity it won’t be available in the new year.

It's a 4.5 star review really. Food was delicious and the customer service was very good. We had great time and will return. I would suggest the size of slices of bread could be re-considered. One thin slice of toasted (a little dry) bread is not enough for a dish containing mainly a sauce. And £3 charge for another 2 thin slices of dry bread (toasted) feels a little unfair. Sourdough bread was tasty and good quality. It's just not enough for this type of dishes.

I celebrated my 50th birthday here with 17 friends and family and we had the brunch. I submitted our order the week before. I was impressed that everyone's food came almost at the same time, especially as the whole place was busy. Staff were lovely and friendly. Everyone loved the food they had and were impressed that the menu was so varied. I'd been here before a couple times and had lovely lunches and I would totally recommend it. It's also very reasonably priced for such lovely food.

Excellent service food and atmosphere

Generally lovely food nicely presented from an interesting menu. A little cool in the venue at this time of year…Dec.

love this place, a great find beautiful Sunday lunch, Nice setting

The Boxing Day Sarnie is amazing! Always great service and a really festive atmosphere. Going back next week!

We had a party of 12 and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. A* service and great food

I’ve visited Thyme Kitchen regularly over the past few years. However a couple of visits a few months ago put me off after the service was poor and one of the staff was clearly having a bad day and came across very badly. I decided to try again two weeks ago and the standards were back to their best. I therefore took the family yesterday and I have to say given how busy it was the service was outstanding and the food excellent. So glad I decided to go back and I will be returning soon.

Had the three course Sunday lunch. Starters, main & desserts were all extremely good and very tasty. Only slight criticism is that the mains could have been a bit hotter.

Food was lovely and spot on for approx 18 people! Atmosphere is always pleasant at Thyme due to the cosiness of place.

Had difficulty finding a place to book around Lichfield for a group of 12 for Sunday lunch. Thyme Kitchen took the booking. And it was great for parking, the food, drinks selection, wonderful young staff and atmosphere

Lovely place, lovely food and lovely staff. Will be back! ❤️

Great food, great service, great events!

First time and really enjoyed it. Lovely kind staff and Manager. I had the breakfast, I was so full I couldn’t finish it 😊

Great food and a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be returning

Young girls and lads working are polite and attentive to customer needs. Frequently checked on etc. been a few times now and it’s now my go to Lichfield restaurant

We have been here many times but unfortunately this visit disappointed. It was for my daughters 16th birthday which the waitress mentioned when we arrived which was nice, the table was booked for 13.30, our drinks order was taken straight away but didn't arrive for 20 minutes, our food order of 4 X breakfast type meals was taken after another 20 minutes, we were told it would be around 20 minutes to arrive, our food finally turned up after another 50 minutes from taking the order, all in it took just under 2 hours to get our food!

Hi, I brought my Mom along for a spot of brunch and we had a very nice creamy mushroom on sourdough. Service was attentive and the decor and ambience was warming. Just a bit of feedback - we found the crusts on the sourdough bread very hard to cut with standard knives, my Mom reverting to picking it up to pull apart with her hands. I suggest you serve this with a knife with a razer edge like a steak knife. Many thanks.

Friendly staff and manager, really yummy food. I have the breakfast and I was so full. Lovely location too. Thank you

We stopped in for the Sunday Roast, which was delicious. There was also an amazing selection of cakes for Dessert

Tasty food, happy servers and lovely atmosphere

Great food and very friendly service

Fabulous experience overall..not quite sure why I have not been before ! And now ...I've had the brilliant breakfast too !!

A warm and welcoming place to eat. Food is excellent and so is the friendly service.

Very nice. Friendly staff and lovely food.

Food as usual was excellent and lovely to see some new items on the menu. We love it here because of the great food and atmosphere. Despite being really busy and internet problems, the team were great as usual and it didn't affect service. Thanks

Staff were distracted and unwelcoming. Menu is far too long and complex. Shame because it's beautiful quality and setting. They should simplify it for a better service

We keep coming back here. There’s always something new to try and every meal has been delicious. The home-made cakes are wonderful.

Had a very enjoyable experience for our dear friends Birthday

This restuarant is simply wonderful! Decor is lovely and modern, the food is always fresh and we have enjoyed every dish we have tried. I have eaten here with family and friends quite a few times now and we have never been disappointed. The staff cannot do enough for you, welcoming people in wheelchairs and with dogs. Thyme Kitchen is a real find and a reason to travel to Lichfield!

Three of us went for brunch and were surprised how busy Thyme was at 10.15am on a Sunday morning but everything seemed to be running like clockwork. We had made a reservation and were shown to our table quickly but given plenty of time to make our choices from the extensive menu. We selected shakshuka eggs, welsh rarebit (with added sausage) and the breakfast burrito in addition to our tea and coffee. The food was lovely and tasty and presented well and we all agreed we'd made good choices. We were served by very friendly staff who checked if we required anything further and my daughter bought a 'cruffin' to takeaway to enjoy at home later. If you are looking for somewhere that offers good food in pleasant surroundings then it is definitely worth giving Thyme Kitchen a try

We left hungry and broke. I had pancakes and my wife had Persian eggs. I got 3 very small pancakes the width of my fist. The food was cold and expensive for what you get. The conservatory area was freezing everyone had there coats on. Really gone down hill in the last year

Fabulous brunch for our first visit to the Thyme Kitchen. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient, and the food…? Simply delicious! Possibly the widest-ranging brunch menu I have ever seen, and excellent quality too. We’ll definitely be back!
