Great food and the owner is lovely, Will return 100% 👍

Tucked away but quite close to city centre this is a cosy little venue with live music and great home brewed beer! Did not eat but the food menu (snacks) looked tempting'

Had a coffee. Not bad as coffees go. Great service and clean

Friday 27th September 2024. My husband’s cousin Roger and his wife Janine came to visit us in Birmingham and go to lunch. We went to ‘McKee’s Brassiere’ at Haig’s Hotel in Balsall Common. We arrived for 1.00 pm and were shown to a nice table for four in the restaurant by Jeanette. The restaurant itself is light, bright and airy with a lovely dining area, where we were seated on this bright sunny afternoon. The place was lovely and the staff were bright and welcoming especially Coleby who waited on us and was very professional in everything she did for us. We had the three course set lunch menu, which was very good value. We had an amuse bouche of tomato soup served with home-made bread, which was really warming and nice, a good beginning for our lovely meal. We had starters; My husband had haddock and trout pate served with Melba toast and butter. Roger had the cheese tart served with chutney. Janine had the watermelon, feta, pomegranate and pecan nut salad, which she said was delicious. I had the chicken liver pate with cranberry apple chutney and served with Melba toast, which was really delicious. The starters were just the perfect size to get the palate started. For our main courses: Janine and My husband had the Chicken Ballotine, chicken breast filled with chives, leeks and pancetta. Served with coarse grain mustard sauce and a stuffed cabbage parcel filled with potato which was served with a dish of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and roast potatoes), which he both said was delicious. The chicken just melted in the mouth. Roger and I had the Vegetable Wellington filled with camembert, beetroot and spinach with a sweet potato and mushroom sauce, which was served with a dish of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and roast potatoes, which we both thought was delicious. The dishes arrived together and were very hot and very well presented. We washed all this lovely food down with sparkling spring water for Roger and Janine. A pint of ‘Doombar’ bitter for my husband and a nice large glass of rose wine for me. We all had desserts: My husband had the apple crumble with creamy custard. Roger had the lemon posset with berries, which he said was delicious. Janine and I had the Chocolate Marquise with cappuccino ice cream, which was really delicious and it was lovely and light and the perfect finish to our meals. We had tea and coffees afterwards; My husband had a pot of tea. Roger had black coffee. Janine and I had a de-caffeinated coffee with milk, these came with a selection of petite fours, which were a nice finish to our lovely meal. Afterwards we all felt well fed and content.

We had breakfast for my friends birthday today. The restaurant manager was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was perfect!

Superb - from initial ordering such friendly polite staff / delivered to our campsite …… again excellent service with the biggest friendly smile and on time and food piping hot 👍 all starters and main dishes were delicious - can not rate highly enough 🤩

Super lunch with my Mum for an early Mother’s Day treat. Food was great, plenty of choice for vegetarians, staff friendly, helpful and polite. Great pub. Nice atmosphere

I honestly had the most beautiful morning for my stepson birthday. The staff went above and beyond all wishing him a happy birthday. He even had a Happy Birthday board waiting for him at our table. Really great experience and the food and mocktails were delicious.

The food in this restaurant is genuinely outstanding. Incredible veal, lasagne, pasta and sea bass.

Great little treasure of a venue in a picturesque village. Intimate atmosphere- dogs and child friendly. Fantastic food and service Great value and it’s good to support small family businesses

They have oat milk and will cater for vegans. Yes, great news they do this, and they are reasonably priced

Lovely food great service atmosphere ok for a Tuesday night.

Not even 1 star - purchased deal through Groupon, booked and got a (presumably automated) reply, arranged babysitter, drove there to find it closed with a sign in window about a power failure. Instead dined at nearby Masala Club (very good). I then complained via the restaurant’s own website but received no reply or apology. Foolishly gave it another chance and rebooked, seeing as the offers still appeared on Groupon so presumed it was back open. Again received a confirmation immediately after booking. Drove there, arrived to find same sign in window and no signs of life inside. As soon as I can figure out how I will get a refund. Surprised to see offers still being sold on Groupon

Food that we had was good , unfortunately waiting time wasn’t poor , they seem to be more motivated by take away orders than the diners

I was visiting Birmingham for a business trip to the Motorhome and Caravan show at the NEC last week. I booked a room at the Bulls Head and travelled from West Wales only for my room to be cancelled on the morning of the booking. I had to book a hotel which was a further hour away which also cost me £100 more as I needed a hotel there and then. I was let down massively and also left out of pocket.
