The best restaurants in West Midlands

As I walked up to the front door to enter the restaurant, looking around outside made me think I hope inside is better than outside. The weeds, dead leaves, fag ends etc outside the front door was not the first impression you’d want. Gave me the impression of if this is what you can see what’s the rest of the place like u can’t see. Very shoddy first impression. Interior is tired, carpets absolutely filthy going upstairs, the gents toilet at the top of the stairs was filthy, stank, and was only half lit as lights not working (probably for the best). The staff all be it pleasant enough we’re so scruffy in appearance, jeans and an old tea shirt, they looked like they just got out of bed. There was a time when all the staff here were in full uniform, very smart authentic clothing, they looked like they wanted to be there instead of “this is a chore attitude’’. Onto the meal, this was not too bad actually, the food was pretty good and plenty of it. Value for money excellent. Wouldn’t take much to turn this place around to what it once was. . I’d say

Had an amazing afternoon tea for hubster s birthday. Outstanding. No photos we ate it lol 😂😂😂 Ann makes outstanding food you can feel the love ❤️❤️❤️

I recommend it 100%, the staff was very nice, the food was excellent! Ballroom Evelynne is an exceptionally restaurant . Highly recommended!

La primera vez que visito café me encanta... y me encantó, me encantó, me encantó! Tuvimos un día de madre e hija disfrutamos de la deliciosa comida, gran carta de vinos y buenas vibraciones. El servicio de Ria fue genial, ella explicó y recomendó grandes opciones del menú. Recomiendo encarecidamente el amor del café volverá.

We have waited a while before visiting this restaurant as I wanted to see what the reviews were like. I have to confess the website had originally put me off as it's very fussy/wordy/hard to read due to the typeface/background, but at the end of the day I wanted to try out the food! We had stuffed pork which was very tasty (although I do like to have the potatoes included in the cost at this price point) but the highlight was the dessert. It was a delicious lemon and almond cake which managed to be satisfying but light at the same time - really lovely. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and being able to take our own drinks was great. Would love to try the tasting menu at some point but the waiting list is long (maybe they could add in some extra dates since it's so popular) Would definitely visit again.

Had the pizza at sip and slice have had their pizza 3 or 4 times now never disappointed 10/10

Lovely little place. Food was great and reasonably priced, lots to choose from. The staff were very friendly. We will definitely visit again.

It's a great place to get ice-cream on a hot day. It's better than coffee evolution at around the same price . I really like the crumble and straciatella ice cream flavours.

Writing this while im eating, the food arrived early and is still hot 🔥 This hot honey grilled cheese is out of this world, the pickled slaw is super fresh and crisp and id put the halloumi fries against any ive ever had! Absolute quality scran! 👌

Hi the swan Inn we stopped in your campsite Friday and Saturday Night, the site and amenities were spot less very well set out , we had food on Friday night very nice, our hosts were pleasant and welcoming so were the clientele . Thanks for a nice Stay Peter and Deborah.

Popped in for lunch. Very clean and friendly. Had a tuna and cheese sandwich, it was delicious and the brown bread tasted fresh and homemade, or as good as ! Good value too. Highly recommend a visit if you're passing.

Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers for dads funeral, excellent service from initial phone call through to delivery, would highly recommend.

What a delight! We arranged an afternoon tea for my Dad’s 90th birthday. We arrived to beautifully decorated table and chairs for the occasion. The generous amounts of sandwiches, cakes, fruit and little chocolates were delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive. Thank you for making our family celebration very special. This cafe is a little treasure.

The Deli where can I start with this one it has been a huge part of my life since coming here as a customer who has made fantastic friends with Dani and Nikki who own the Deli they are like family i never had and who I vaule so so so much. The Deli for me is a safe space where you feel welcomed, you feel valued, you can be you and most of all meet people there. The food is lush always made fresh, staff members Jo, Elaine, Emily and Stacey do a fantastic job and always make time for me too. I love you ladies and may it continue now you also have the wine bar too and please can I be your cocktail tester and hope we can have more nights out.
