The best restaurants in Woodvale Bromsgrove West Midlands

An amazing surprise for my 60th birthday. We were met by the owners and driven round the farm by John and his sidekick. They introduced us to the beautiful animals and told us their stories, knowing each ones name. We got out of the car many times to stroke the cows. At the end we were shown the magnificent bulls and had the opportunity to groom and walk a cow. We then saw the other animals and fed a lamb its bottle. The visit ended with a warm drink and a huge slice of the most delicious carrot cake(others available)in the cosy tearoom. A wonderful, truly amazing birthday experience.

Nice pub run by nice people. Prices very reasonable. Everything fine but fish in the f&chips looked fab but was awful. Chewy fish and undercooked batter. Sure it was a one off.

Great party at Ollie’s Bromsgrove with Woodcote Brewery providing the drinks, The guys were great friendly, helpful and good fun. Steve was quite the photographer taking group photos of all 25 of us - thank you. Great beer, lots of compliments and promises to return for a few more pints in the near future. Thanks guys at Woodcote Brewery

My wife and I would like to express our appreciation for the outstanding service we received from all the staff at the Nailers Arms on Friday 21st February 2025. We decided to have some food and drink at the nailers between our intimate wedding ceremony and our evening party. When we booked the restaurant for 22 people including children member of staff who took our booking showed us different areas of the restaurant that they could section of so our guests would all be seated in one area. We picked a area and booked the carvery. The member of staff said we was welcome to come with either the evening before or the morning of the booking to put up some decorations etc. One the day of our booking we all arrived at the nailers and our tables had been reserved in the location we had chosen. We all ordered some drinks and sat down to have a drink before food. It was at this point the nailers staff started to put glasses of prosecco on the table for the adults (even providing non alcoholic for the drivers). My wife I was shocked and didn’t realise who had purchased it until the manager and the staff stood by our table all with glasses of prosecco and the manager tapped the side of his glass and said “myself and all the staff at the nailers wish you both a happy future together “ he then said the drink is a gift my us to you. We were absolutely shocked that they had gone out their way to help us celebrate our special day. After having a drink we went up to get our meal. I have to say I have never had a carvery like this before. It was absolutely amazing, the meat was all cooked so nicely you could tell who ever cooked it did so well pride. There was a number of different potatoes from new potatoes to roast potatoes. There was a large selection of vegetables and they were all absolutely delicious. Unlike most carvery who give you one or two stuffing balls which are normally hard and dry and over cooked having been under hot lights for ages the nailers had a massive pot of stuffing that you could have as much as you licked and it was just lovely cooked and not hard and over cooked. We went to the carvery at about two pm so this was during service and not at the start of service. Normally you go to a carvery at the start to make sure it’s hot and just cooked. This isn’t necessary at the nailers as even hours after the start of service the food was fresh, hot and all choices still available and lovely. We stayed at the nailers for about three hours continuing to have drinks and chatting with family and friends. At no point did we feel like we needed to leave after our food or move into the bar as we had eaten. We just stayed where we were drinking and chatting. Thank you all staff at the nailers for making our time at the nailers wonderful. We will be back soon for another lovely carvery.

What a great find great food we've been several times and still can't fault it

We went to a Wedding party at the Park Gate - what a fantastic place. The staff are hard working and friendly. Their function room is brilliant- a good size and plenty of outdoor space too with lots for children to do. We will definitely be calling in for a drink.

Good menu, delicious food, friendly and attentive staff and a cosy atmosphere. What more could you ask for.

My husband and I stayed at this Lovely manor to break a journey up, it was fantastic we stayed in a superior room (the music room) dual aspect garden views. The evening meal was top notch and so was the breakfast, would definitely recommend..

Ordered via Uber eats & after 2 hours still hadn’t arrived. Called to get a refund and had the phone put down on me. Rude staff, no breakfast & still waiting for my £20 refund

Lovely to walk in and see the pub busy, this didn't affect our visit. A warm welcome and attentive service from Emily and Lewis. Food was excellent. Couldn't fault our visit we will return

It saddens me to read the other reviews, had I read these before booking a table here I would have avoided it like the plague. We booked here on a whim having buried my father the day before, family had travelled across the country and was returning home. The plans were very much on short notice, we struggled to get a table elsewhere, we were a party of 20 but The Gate were happy to accommodate us. James our server was fantastic from start to finish and the food was excellent. All members of the party really enjoyed their meal and my mum who is difficult to please when it comes to her was extremely happy and as a family that really is all that mattered to us. Thankyou all for a most enjoyable evening on what was a very sad occasion
