Wedges Bakery in Solihull

awful - waited 35 minutes for a toasted sandwich. worst sandwich - cheese toasted would not eat there again bought chocolate crispy cake - it was rock hard sat at a table which needed cleaning - asked a member of staff to clean it three times - I was ignored

Popped in to the Hockley Heath Wedges for supplies. Was immediately put off by the so-called manager who was speaking, or should I say shouting and swearing at his staff. The staff; a young girl and a guy, were lovely and couldn’t do enough to help me. The manager, however, was disrespectful and quite obnoxious. I will not return to this Wedges again. Not a good experience.

What can I say?! AMAZING! Great freshly made bread and sandwiches, lovely picnic food too. The quiches are incredible and scotch eggs were fab too. Only thing I probably wouldn’t order again was the sausage roll as the sausage meat inside was a bit cheap tasting, I was expecting better quality meat. Other than that it’s an absolute winner for our family.

We try to pop in once a week whilst my daughter is horse riding at the local stables. We have only ever had good experiences at the bakery, the food is always delicious whether we have take away or eat in and the staff are really friendly. It would be nice for the food to be priced up so you can make a decision before choosing your options as you buy everything blind and it soon mounts up, before you know it you have spent £50.

Have been steering clear of Wedges bakery for some time now as the last time I shopped there the food was tasteless. Tried again today hoping for some improvement but was let down. The pies were awful and only half full of filling. The cakes pastry appeared very dark and burnt and tasted so - to the point that was all I could taste. Complete waste of money and won't be visiting there again, which is a shame as the food was brilliant years ago. A real shame!

Sadly this was a really poor experience. We arrived for coffee and cake. No items had a price on them this makes buying anything difficult. We ordered coffee and cake to sit in. We were handed take away cups and the member of staff pointed at a coffee machine to make our own. The cakes were put in bags. The cakes were good quality but the coffee is awful. Won’t be visiting again. Have used wedges for years but think is dramatically gone down hill.

Popped into this very nice bakery after golf. They had a wide selection of sandwiches that were reasonably priced plus plenty of other goodies such as home made scotch eggs, pastries and, of course, coffee. Spent £20 on the 2 of us; that included 2 granary bread sandwiches, 2 coffees, a flap jack, scotch egg. Coffee was lovely.

Has gone massively downhill . Used to be a great place to eat/drink. Loads of dirty tables . One guy behind the counter was barking at the young lads serving saying ‘if you’ve got nothing to do you can do this’ and ‘are any of you serving?’ when they quite clearly were whilst he was just wandering round the shop saying someone ‘must have been on the weed’ charming. I never spend another penny in places who talk to their staff like dirt in front of customers so this will be my last visit.

Oh dear how disappointed were we to pop back to our local cafe! What on earth has happened?? Queued for 10 minutes before being served - it wasn’t even busy. Staff all looked so fed up no one greeted or said hello. Finally got to be served sullen young girl took order - I was shocked to be served our cakes in paper bags and then had to wait another 12 minutes for our tea to be made in disposable cups ( couldn’t bear to ask for anything else given how slow they were. Been there a lot after Covid when we got a decent pit of tea and nice cups n plates. Come on Wedges, surely you can do better than this. Gave it a 2 as food was decent and it is a nice setting.

Food looks good but the hot cross buns were hard and very little fruit and over priced. “Serving” coffee in disposable cups and from a self serve machine also very poor. Not a good flavour at all and again far too expensive for such a poor quality. I think this establishment needs to decide whether it is a bakery/shop or a cafe - it is currently trying to be both - badly.

Brought a homemade farmhouse fruit cake to use at a family gathering a few days later . When I went to use it I found out that the best before date has expired the day before I brought it . The cake had turned soggy and the sugar on top had started to turn Googy and sticky. I'm not one to leave negative reviews but having contacted bakery about issue and had no response on what was £5.49 wasted I'm not impressed . Maybe me own fault not to check date just assumed it would be fresh . Went out of my way after a visit to NEC to visit this places as I had read such good reviews wished I hadn't bothered and saved myself money.

I made the mistake of buying an Apple Strudel at your bakery today. Not only was it over priced at £2.69, it was totally disgusting with inedible lumps of recycled stale bread amounting to 50% if the entire cake. Whats the lump of soggy white bread running up the middle? Why is there bread in it at all? Totally DISGUSTING, you should be ashamed of serving such revolting food to customers. Id like a refund of the £2.69 that I spent to literally feed the birds!!!!! Look at the attached pictures, especially the one in which I have place a pound coin to help visualise the scale of the bread in this so called Apple Strudel, its more like a soggy bread pudding with few lumps of apple. I will happily supply my bank details for a refund!

We very often visit our local branch of Wedges on Dovehouse Parade on the Warwick Road. But as we were in the area we decided to call in for a cup of coffee in this branch. It was interesting to read the history of the building and the bakery and we sat in a pleasant outside covered area. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the coffee which came out of a self operated machine. Sadly it was not close to the quality of the barista style coffee which is made in the other branch. However the bakery did look to be offering some good quality bread.

Saw the sign while travelling along the canal . Was advised by a fellow boater not to bother . Glad I ignored them . The best sausage roll full of meat and tasty scotch eggs . The cream cakes went down a treat with hubby . The bread rolls lovely and fresh . Lots of local produce on sale which I would love to have brought and tried but only so much room on the boat . Will definitely return .

Have just ordered from wedges in Deliveroo as working from home and don’t have time to pop out and get something, usually when I order from here the food is fantastic, however today was very different. I ordered a meal deal and asked for no onion, as I’m allergic. (No ability to put a note to say I’m allergic, just didn’t tick the box that had onion when building the sandwich) which I’ve done every time before, unfortunately onion came on the sandwich. There were also pieces of ham when I ordered chicken tikka. I also ordered a loaf of bread as I love their bread and asked for thick cut slices, however it wasn’t sliced at all which doesn’t seem like much, I know but I don’t have a lot of strength in my arms due to illness so the sliced bread would have made my day a little easier. Sorry Wedges, this time around I wasn’t happy but hopefully it was a one time thing.

When wedges first opened it was great. So lovely to have a cafe and such delicious food nearby,especially as Sonia's Bakery before it, had been such a high standard. But I have watched Wedges deteriorate slowly since my first visit. The staff are all quite young now, and non of them seem to have any urgency about them. Waiting for food is slow. Today I bought a takeaway sandwich... simple cheese salad. Usually these are cling filmed wrapped but I was just handed the sandwich in a paper bag - I didn't notice til I got home and the edges were already starting to curl. The tomatoes were green, which the girl would surely have noticed as she cut them. It seems that the produce to make the sandwiches isn't up to standard either The cakes used to be delicious but now are very 'samey' and people's favourites, such as custard tarts and doughnuts are not usually available. I was told they no longer do baguettes, which is a shame. The thing I noticed more than anything in Wedges is the fact that if you buy bread and ask for it to be sliced, the assistant slices it and then takes your money. All without wearing plastic gloves. Surely this is just basic food hygiene. Wear the gloves to handle the bread, and take them off to take the money., or use fresh ones after one transaction. The general atmosphere which was once cosy and pleasant, is now not the same. One of those places where you know, that you could do better yourself.

Came to wedges bakery for the first time, my order was a cheese salad sandwich as I'm a vegitarian or I eat only halal diet. Told the girl who was making sandwiches to please change the board on which you make sandwiches on as I could see meat sandwiches being made. I stated I am a vegitarian. Her reply was yeh yeh that's what we are doing. I was watching them make my sandwich and the man that made it didn't change his gloves or chopping board to meet my requirements. When he gave me my sandwich I asked him did you change your gloves he paused and said oh yes. Total lie. Didn't change gloves or board to make my sandwich. Really disappointed and a waste of my money as I did not eat it due to how and where it was made. Just took my sandwich and left as it was so busy no one listens to busy just taking orders

15 minutes for a take away tea that wasn't particularly nice anyway. Service is seriously lacking here. Met up with friends for a natter and it took about 30 minutes for everyone to get served. Will go elsewhere in future.

Such a good choice of classic sandwiches and home made bakery. Superb Cornish pasties, sausage rolls and scotch eggs. Good cake selection too. My go to place for lunch snacks.

This is a fantastic location for a cycle ride and so we thought we would drop in. Absolutely loads on offer but initially was only offered a biscuit that was gluten free. My wife had a ricotta and spinach pasty which was not nice. Eventually I was offered a salad and this was ok. There were also NO toilets available. I felt this was really strange for a cafe come bakers. (I say this as the majority of visitors were eating in). Disappointing and won't be going again in a hurry. Would have been 1 star if the salad had not arrived. As 10% of the population have some form of issue with gluten - potentially you will be disappointing 1 in 10 people coming in through the door...

Having frequented this Cafe on Dovehouse Parade for a long time, since its inception and using the bakery for years when it was called Sonia's Bakery. Today was the last straw in that the quality, quantity and freshness was lacking, in fact the bacon (2 rashers) in the sandwich was tough, cold and had probably been a long time being kept warm. Pre-Covid the food was outstanding and delightfully fresh and plentiful, not anymore. I've been three times in the last two weeks and noticed a decline in all the sandwiches I've eaten, none of which were as well filled as they used to be. I never write reviews, but was so disappointed I felt it necessary to comment.

My husband and I like coming here and have a few times had the same items, but we are charged different prices? Why can't you price the items so people know what they are spending also why are the receipts not itemised. I like to know what I'm spending. Not having to guess what it might be. Also the staff do not have patience so to ask how much each individual cake. Bread. Or sausage would be, I think would really pee them off. Please make these simple changes.

We have decided we will not be visiting Wedges again. They have had a number of chances and failed each time. The food is good but, service is slow, and the order is usually incorrect. The staff appear miserable and give the impression they do...

Really enjoyed walking from Shirley here. And rewarding ourselves with a massive chocolate éclair. The bread is amazing and selection of takeaway sandwich etc is great.

A welcome find whilst doing my lockdown cycle ride. Fully stocked village bakery and coffee for socially distanced take away. Superb coffee croissants served with a smile.

Having visited today I can honestly say the breakfast was average,the service secondary, cleanliness of utensils very poor.sorry to day won't be eating there again.

So disappointed in Wedges bakery this Christmas, be using them for years, this year went to collect my family order, the black pudding scotch egg received was plain ones but to late to change once you have cut them open 1 hour before a big...

Had a brilliant lunch. Staff are fantastic and very helpful. Fantastic food and good prices. Looking forward to returning soon.

It’s pretty obvious the owner is now buying in pre made cakes & scotch eggs. The staff themselves are brilliant but you can tell the manger hasn’t the first clue of how to get them organised efficiently for effective service. Sandwiches are still fantastic.

Visited today, 20 October 2019, as staying with two friends locally. Arrived at about 1.45 pm for lunch. My friend was in front of me in the queue and ordered, she turned to ask me if I wanted to be included in her order, but as I was purchasing bread (lovely bread) I said I would pay and order separately (server aware of this). Server went into the kitchen and I stood there for 10 mins while another staff member hoovered crumbs out of the food cabinet with no acknowledgment; she finished and came to ask what I wanted. I asked for a sandwich and she said the kitchen had shut. I explained that I was eating lunch with the person who had been in front of me in the queue and she just said no the kitchen is shut. Went and sat down with my friends while they ate. To her credit the waitress bringing the food out looked taken aback and said she would make me a sandwich, but we were on the way back to Yorkshire and I felt put out so declined. I would recommend the lovely food but the customer service was shocking and I will not return.

Nice place, good location but awful service. Needs organising. More people waiting than being served.

As always great food and great staff.. we all love it here.. food is always fresh and hot and even if it’s busy there is never a long wait..

I’ve been using this cafe for a long time now but I don’t know what’s going on lately. The cleanliness is disgraceful and I found blue plastic in the scotch egg I brought for lunch. It’s extremely dangerous if a child had eaten the product the repercussions could have been deadly. I will never shop here again and will contact the relevant people in regards to this incident as I don’t feel it should be ignored.

Ordered simple egg on toast, waited 20 minutes for 2 over cooked eggs on dry bread to be brought to my table. After telling the staff this order was wrong they apologised. I then waited 20 minutes for the same two eggs that was microwaved served on burnt toast. The cafe was empty so there was no excuse for the poor standard of food and the extremely long wait. I will no longer be return and won’t be recommending wedges to anyone else. Why are the staff so slow? I can’t understand this!

Asked for a regular latte and regular cappuccino with one toasted tea cake, was charged for large drinks and not allowed the 10% Senior discount. Was told the girl on the till was new and didn't understand how it worked! Also the cappuccino was three quarters froth, I returned it but when it came back it was still half full of froth! I did eventually get a refund but this is not the point. The girl should not have been allowed on the till without full training and the people who make the coffee should also be fully trained. The prices are high and not value for money. It will be a long time before we visit this cafe again! Very disappointed.

Called in today for coffee, dreadful tasting coffee. Cappachino better. Asked for regular size which was smug, would have preferred a cup, but not offered one. Asked if I wanted milk with my coffee????????

Cakes amazing, albeit the cafe is a bit basic, not somewhere to stay for hours chatting, but can't grumble about the food, it's all excellent.

We walked from our narrow boat to buy some bread and possibly other things, but decided to stop for breakfast as well. The hot breakfast sandwiches were worth the wait, (it was an extremely busy Saturday morning, with more people coming in all the time) and our hot drinks were brought out to us. We then went in to buy bread, samosas, pork pies, pasties and cakes which were all put in a box for us. Everything was delicious and service was friendly.

I visited the deli counter 12th July around 4pm a lady in front of me was being served & a man came in after me. The member of staff serving called for assistance from the back but help did not come. After the assistant had finished serving the lady she walked away from the counter not even acknowledging me or the man waiting instead she walked over to the cafe tables presumably to clear them but still never said anything at all not even "I will be with you shortly" absolutely nothing we both stood there like fools. I put my items back on the shelf & walked out. Never ever have I experienced such poor service. I will be taking my custom elsewhere this however is not the first time that I have experienced poor customer service from the deli counter but never have I been left standing! . It's no good having a great product if your front of house staff/service lets you down.

Stopped on the canal to visit the bakery. Highly recommend the whole meal loaf. It made excellent sandwiches for our lunch.

I live round the corner from Wedges on Dove House Lane. We have almost stopped using it completely as our experience is so hit and miss in terms of staff getting our orders wrong. My husband popped in today to get us sandwiches at lunchtime. 12.30pm and they had almost completely run out of baguettes and rolls....but are a bakery and deli establishment open until 5pm?? Customers were being told to arrive earlier (its lunchtime...). My husband managed to nab the two last baguettes. He waited 25 minutes for the take out order. Finally he gets the food and on the way out the lady shout to him that she's got the order wrong and has put butter on the sandwich. He just left as wanted to get away. Then at home we have to swap sandwiches and remove fillings and after we finally start eating we realise they are full of salad cream. We've never ordered salad cream in our lives! We both sat there eating our sandwiches feeling really peeved off. Not going there again. It's not cheap but we are happy to pay for good food and a good service. This was once again a poor service and disappointing. My husband has just piped up "getting the basics wrong time and time again".

Used to love coming to Wedges at School Lane, Hockley Heath, but alas no more. The Full English breakfast used to be excellent and one that i looked forward to devouring. But to say the quality has dropped, would be an understatement! Where you used to get a large plate with plentiful food (2 of eveything) on it, it now seems that they have chosen to serve you a small plate with less food on it (go figure ). On my "LAST" visit, I was served up a breakfast that was warm, the exception being the sausage that was stone cold. On informing a member of staff, they duly said that they were terrible sorry and they would rectify it. On returning, the member of staff reiterated how sorry they were. On looking at the plate, i realised it was the same breakfast that i had returned! The only difference being, the sausage had been re-cooked and the rest of the food was still warm. Now at the price of nearly £8 and not wanting to upset a customer, i would have thought the least they could do was deliver a fresh hot (customary for a cooked breakfast) plate of food. On returning the afore mentioned breakfast again, i asked to receive my money back. Which i received with a polite apology. It seems the busier a business gets, the quality tends to suffer. Until such times, where the quality of breakfast returns to the standard of the past, I wont be back!!

Supplied bread for my sisters wedding - just the best service & delicious bread. From advice on amounts to carrying to the car, they’re amazing!

We stopped here twice, coming and going, as we were on the canal narrow boats (bridge 20 Stratford-Upon-Avon Northern Canal). The cream tea was out of this world and I'd go out of my way to have another! For lunch we tried a variety of savory meat pies and one from our group, an American man ordered a burger and he said it was one of the most flavorful burgers he's ever eaten! My husband ordered an eclair and it was huge! He could hardly finish it and it was over stuffed with cream. I now dream of this place nightly!

Over 25 years ago I stumbled on this bakery when on a hire boat. It stuck in my memory, and last year and this as my wife and I go past on our boat we have called in. Bread and cake is excellent, and today a sausage roll and pasty, followed by fruit tarts. Bloody excellent.

We were on a narrow boat. A friend had strongly advised us to stop here to get goodies. She was so on target. We got bread, pies and sweets to have on the boat as well as enjoying sandwiches there. On our way back, we made it a point to stop there again.

This bakery has been here for over 50 years and is still going strong. Well worth tracking down if you are in the village. Fresh baked bread etc. Hot & cold food/sandwiches for takeaway or eat in the cafe area. Additional parking at the side. Popular with cyclists.

We stopped at this Bakery for it was walking distance from the canal boat we hired and was so happy we did. The Crusty Bread that was sliced for us was fantastic. So were the cakes and Banana Bread we purchased. I also tried some slices of their fresh Turkey which was fantastic. The young man that served us was so helpful in placing our cakes in a nice paper cake box. ( He reminded us of Sam Smith the singer.)We even purchased fresh eggs and milk to bring back aboard the boat. What a lovely Bakery!

Visit with family for a break en route to visit friends. Staff very friendly and welcoming however we were served cold burnt toast with cheap margarine spread and jam. Toast was replaced and second batch came warm and was fine, unfortunately the horrible spread didn't do the fresh bread any favours, definitely invest in butter!Hot chocolate was cold on arrival so overall we were very disappointed. Seating area was clean and tidy but table very wobbly, thankfully our hot drink came barely lukewarm so not as problematic as it could have been. All the promise of a lovely local bakery/cafe but definitely didn't live up to this with the food on this occasion.

Very disappointed today with my trip to Wedges. Was grabbing some food for Mother’s Day, arrived at 2.10pm after checking the website which specified open until 3pm. I arrived and asked to place an order to be told the kitchen closed at 2. I explained that it says open until 3pm. Very little apology for my wasted journey and poor customer service.

After a visit was very disappointed with the service. I regularly buy from this bakery and service is regularly slow. The food is normally of a good standard, unfortunately Not on this occasion. I was on my way out and popped in for a sandwich. Waited in the que 10 mins. When I reached the front I was told the kitchen was closed at 2.30. It was 2.32. As they needed to clean down. I explained I was waiting before this time. I felt like saying if you weren’t so slow I would have been served 10mins ago. It made no difference and I was unable to purchase my sandwich. I had no clue what I could eat that would be ready to eat as I wasn’t going home , so ended up buying a Cornish pasty. Unfortunately this tasted of cardboard. Real shame as i have loved buying sandwiches from there and it’s really put me off returning.

Went here twice last week. Never been before. Purchased bread, rolls and 2 absolutely delicious eclairs to take away. Service excellent so we decided to pop back later in the week for a light lunch (15 mile round trip).

Used this place for fresh bread for years so its good to see it evolving into other areas .they have always done nice savouries and cakes now the sit in cafe gives you a nice area to enjoy them .if you like a bit of quality this is the place

I usually have great experiences with this little place round the corner from my work, tends to be a baguette for lunch or perfect for picking up a light bite.

Went for lunch. Seating area was very cold, with a tiny electric heater - totally inadequate. Ordered soup + roll and toasted cheese and tomato sandwich, with two drinks. Drinks arrived minus hot milk that we ordered. Sandwich (very dull, no garnish) arrived; soup was tomato so we returned it. Took ages to replace with vegetable. Realised we had been overcharged for the sandwich and a cake which we wanted to take out. Shared our concerns on all of the above with staff and were met with belligerent indifference - one staff member, after arrogantly stating that the price list on the wall was only for takeaway (it actually has both takeaway and eat-in prices) and generally being very dismissive of our concerns, grudgingly said they would 'sort things out' but then didn't return. We left and won't be returning either.

This bakery and deli has a pleasant cafe whee we had tea using their personalised crockery before doing a walk on the nearby canal towpaths and the Heart of England Way.

Love this little bakery, they have a large array of pastries, cakes and especially pastries! The best I’ve tasted in the Midlands! The cafe is also very nice and perfect for a spot of lunch or a breakfast. Would recommend!

Nip out from the business park once a week to get some pies for me and the kid's dinner.

My bakery of choice. Their Granary loaves are superb,and although pricey at £2.08 are consistently good and freshly baked, and warm, when I shop at 9am. Cakes are great, as well as their cooked meats, and they stock Lashfords fine bangers! SS

Arrived at about 14.40, not realising they close at 1500 on a Sunday. Ordered a filter coffee and a tea and a couple of cakes. Was given a table number and sat down expecting to be served seeing as it was almost empty. Nope! We had to get up after about 10 minutes (should have taken 2 minutes, max) and get our order. Filter coffee turned out to be 'Americano', which as usual was a bitter, nasty concoction which is undrinkable black. Nobody told us they don't serve proper filter coffee (which is what we ordered), apparently they just consider anything black and hot to be coffee. Well it isn't, and if you are going to have a massive illuminated 'coffee' sign on display perhaps you should take the time to learn about it, so you don't charge money for the filth you served us today. About five minutes after receiving our beverages, we were informed that they are closing shortly by a stony-faced teenager/student type. Naturally we ignored him, as we had just received our beverages and intended to drink them (the tea anyway, the coffee was undrinkable). However, five minutes later Stonyface informs us again that they are closing and would I like a take out cup? No I wouldn't - if you take our money you can wait ten or fifteen minutes for us to suffer your terrible beverages, or at least inform us before ordering that you are about to close.

Visited today, Sunday 5th August. Menu of sandwiches very nice and I enjoyed the sandwich I ordered. However, atmosphere spoilt by I assume the owner shouting across the seating area at a member of staff and then to find the costs of the food as advertised is not what you pay if you want to eat in!! An extra £1.68 to eat in and nowhere does it say there are costs if you want to eat in! This was confirmed by the young girl who served us when we questioned the bill!! Beware of hidden costs.

Don't bother with the cakes. Unfortunately a colleague (who doesn't eat cake!) regularly buys them for us. They are huge and therefore look very appealing but they are amongst the cheapest, sugariest, flavourless cakes I've ever had. All size over quality.

Visited today AM 12 July 2018. Whole place looks tired and so do the staff although waiting staff seem pleasant enough.

Visited here today just before lunch! Not a great experience, two coffees, English breakfast and sausage and egg bap almost £18..... wow! Our coffees came and were half full, the lady said they were large too, shocking! Then onto the food, the bap came with no butter which apparently is standard with hot food, the egg was ridiculously over cooked, verging on an omelette! The full breakfast, looked like a lot thrown on a plate, the black pudding fell apart and my friend said overall wasn’t great! Expected alot more, charging a premium for a below average product!

Went for lunch tuna, mayo and sweetcorn was incredible. The service was good got served straight away. Nice area. All round pleased. Good job.

We regularly use Wedges in Olton and that has become our benchmark for good service and great food, but every time we visit the main branch in Hockley Heath we are disappointed by slow service, errors in order, lack of routines and consistency and so on. Today, we waited the best part of 20 minutes for 3 sandwiches, while staff were seemingly taking their time over everything and at one point, after being told off by a senior member of staff, bickering amonst themselves. This branch should be Wedges' flagship, but it's just not up to scratch.

We often go to the bakery for lunch, have to say the bread is the best you can get and the sandwiches are wonderful, knocks spots of anywhere in Solihull although for a change the paninis and cakes are delicious at Theobroma in Touchwood if you prefer to eat in the centre of Solihull. Wedges bakery also sell loaves of their wonderful bread along with lots of other savoury things and cakes and it all always looks inviting.

Whilst visiting umberslade was told to try this bakery.Was not dissapointed .Ordered 3x breakfast sandwiches which came in insulated bags to keep warm on there own made crusty bread.The fillings were very generous.I then bought there own made scotch eggs and pork pies that were amazingThe only downside is that this wonderfull find is 40 minutes away.May consider a house move..Pls open another shop in netherton..Will definately be returning

Excellent value and extremely friendly. We purchased Bread, cakes, cheese and cooked meats all very tasty! This is a little gem.

3rd time here and I usually love it but it took nearly 20 mins for 2 pork and stuffing sandwiches to come out and they added no gravy and were not hot at all, 2 members of staff were sat doing nothing and we were 1 of two couples in the place. It’s obviously gone downhill. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone as there are much better places close that are better value for money.

Not sure it's as good as Olton. Cakes still very good, coffee also. Service was very slow and look and feel wasn't as smart as Olton.

I usually go to wedges on Dovehouse Parade and I cannot fault it. Myself and my partner fancied one of the chicken sandwiches which are usually lovely, however they had ran out of chicken today. Not a problem we thought we would take a drive or to wedges Hockley Heath.

Normally drop in here to buy all sorts of bakery goodies, cold meats, pies etc. Attempted to do similar today before going for a walk. There seems to have been a bit of a shift in terms of the items on offer and pricing structure. They make a fantastic banana loaf and I fancied a bit today but at £1.99 per slice, sorry I don’t think so. We decided just to pick up some rolls and I left to go to the car. I was surprised at my wife returning empty handed who stated that they have stepped over the line by charging 52p for a small cottage roll. We generally don’t mind paying for quality but refuse to be robbed blind and won’t be back. This is a pity as there are too few home bakers in Birmingham.

Good selection hot and cold food, huge portions, friendly staff, popular with all ages. Pleasantly supprised.

The food is always good but sadly the last few times I have been the same woman is constantly moaning.

Stopped for a pulled pork sandwich & sausage roll to go. Can’t fault the place both were absolutely cracking, reasonably priced for what you get too!

Having always received great food and drinks at their Dovehouse branch decided to try their Ilshaw Heath cafe as it is in walking distance. This time we ordered a pulled pork hot sandwich and a steak and onion hot sandwich - no problem. Asked whether they did decaffeinated cappucino - was told "yes" so ordered one. Noticed that they advertised speciality teas so my wife asked what they had - after ages in asking another member of staff and scurrying round in the cupboard listed three only - not including red berry, which my wife particularly likes so she opted for a normal tea. Few minutes later, waitress arrived with the tea and a black coffee. Suggested they might have the wrong table because I had ordered cappuccino. She came back with the same tray two minutes later stating that they don't do cappuccino, so expected me to drink the coffee either black or as a flat white. Surely a manager should have come out and apologised that I had been given the wrong information and offered me a refund or a choice of another alternative! This kind of service doesn't happen at Dovehouse; and they have a proper espresso machine with a milk foamer - why can't they do it at Ilshaw Heath? The good side is that the hot sandwiches were excellent, which shows what they can do if they put their mind to it.

Got myself a bacon and egg sandwich

Low quality bland tasting bread. The cakes are all disgusting to say the least. I miss Sonia's bakery!

After over 40yrs of having wedges wonderful bread i unfortunately have cancelled my bread from the local shop who gets it fresh daily however it's not fresh and have had to return it several times to the bakery and even if it fresh it's dry and unpleasant to eat, i feel they have altered the structure of the whole loaf and not for the better at all

Been here on a few occasions when visiting family.great place for a light lunch or coffee.Cakes to die for! A great selection of cakes and sandwiches.Will keep coming back and would recommend.

Never had to write a bad review until today, Id asked for a veggie breakfast and my colleague for made the order for our office us over the phone and then went to collect it. When I received the bill of £6.95, I was slightly shocked but nevertheless optimistic still looking forward to my breakfast. Only then when I open it up I was seriously disappointing and irritated, I wish I had took a picture- this is what I received for 6.95 - 1 overdone stuck to the cardboard container-egg, one hash brown, beans, 2 tablespoons of mushrooms, 1 piece of toast and 2 slices of tomato!! Is this a joke-NEVER AGAIN!! Our whole office of 40 people based in Solihull will not be attending again and will be trying Cottage Farm stables- where there veggie breakfast is £4.50 and I guarantee it wont be as pitiful as this.

Made an for five sandwichs order and waited over 30 mins. The woman on the counter kept saying one minute and wasn't helpful with what was going on. Will not be coming back here again. Expect to wait a long time for any order. Very unorganized.

Friendly and very varied bakery goods. Always buy more than went in for. Now they do food to eat in as well

The main reason for going in was to use the loo! Which was immaculate. Of course we gad to order something, and as soon as I saw bacon sandwiches on the menu I ordered two on brown bread. They soon arrived. The bread was top quality, the bacon thick sliced and cooked to perfection. And the price was very reasonable. Top marks.

Placed order for 2 full English breakfast's waited 40 minutes and then claimed they had forgotten to place the order. Customer service very poor, as too short staffed. Suffice to say we never got our breakfasts, we left with a refund and will not be going back.

Wedges offer fantastic food - sandwiches, savouries and cakes all spot on

The food at Wedges is exceptional. Their hot breakfast sandwiches, breads and deserts are excellent. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't been yet - which probably doesn't leave many people as everyone locally goes their.

This small local bakery and deli boasts a fine array of fresh baked loaves, cakes, buns etc. Folks eating lunch had fabulous looking sandwiches with large portions. Prices are reasonable. For bakery items, prices are competitive with supermarkets and the product superior.We enjoyed simnel cake and our kids giant easter shortbread cookies decorated with large sunny chicks & cadbury mini eggs. The cakes and cookie were only 99p each. The simnel cale was so delicious we bought a larger one for 10 for Easter dinner- better than are usual M&S; one and bigger too. We often buy our bread and baked goods from Waitrose, but this bakery is so much more affordable and better in taste I think it worth a short drive in the country to get there. Staff are friendly and outgoing. Recommended

I do come here occasionally to get some snacks or cakes. Don't get me wrong the food is delicious - their chocolate muffins are just a delight, but I always spend ages in there because half of the time the staff ignore you and it seems to lack organisation. Never ordered sandwiches etc so couldn't comment on eating in. Parking can be a pain during peak times but generally it's okay. Would recommend for the food though and will always go back for a treat!
