The best restaurants in West Midlands

We managed to get a table on a Saturday night without booking. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was excellent. In particular, the chicken in the tikka curry was absolutely amazing. We will be returning soon!

First time in on a summer afternoon. Not quite how the other half live. Comfortable inside. Cash is king here. I do love the cheaper places though.

This is a lovely little cafe,me and my sis have been here twice now,the food was bang on,very good and they didnt mind that we were a bit fussy with additions and subs on the breakfasts,everything came as ordered and was perfect,which is great because i have been to the cafe roj opposite twice and ordered the same thing and they messed the order up both times. 100% would reccomend

Visited the pub earlier this evening - what a great end to a busy week! We were truly impressed by the service throughout our visit - we were welcomed by all staff members, seated within seconds and our order was taken within a few minutes. Service was incredibly quick. The food was faultless - the best mixed grill in the Midlands! The butter chicken was just perfect - will definitely be ordering again. We also had sides - chips, naan and rotis - everything was spot on! If only we had room for more, we would have ordered a sweet treat :) the quality cannot be matched. A lovely family run pub/ restaurant - I’d definitely put it at the top of my list for recommendations. Whether it’s a family meal, quick munch or a date night for two, you’ll not be disappointed! Worth every single penny - thank you for a great evening!

We were not at all impressed. First of all, we were not attracted by the facade which appeared to front a small cafe, the window and door being made of grubby, white painted wood. However, we discovered a second glass door that looked more pleasant, and the main entrance, and decided to see what was on offer. It opened onto a larger space than was anticipated. This seemed hopeful. As a type 1 diabetic, my diet has to take into account insulin requirements. That means I need to work out what foods on offer are least glycaemic, and the amount of insulin and the timing of injections are paramount considerations. I decided the best food for me that was available at this cafe was the Nicoise salad. To slow down glucose absorption and to add protein too, I asked if I could have a little cheese. I also asked if I could have olive oil as other dressings often contain sugar. I also enquired about waiting time as after insulin injection the meal needs to be eaten within 20-30 minutes. Despite enquiring at the point of ordering about these various factors, and the waitress assuring us she would find out, she did not return with any answers, and five minutes or more later I therefore decided to go up to the counter to ask again. When I asked again, I was told I 1. "could not have cheese because it was market day" (?!); 2. They could not give me any olive oil as they did not have any.; and 3. They were unable to give me any idea as to how long the wait for food was! We found this total lack of consideration for an individual's dietary and health issues/needs completely unacceptable, and as a consequence told the waitresses so, and then simply walked out, taking our custom to another restaurant which willingly and happily supplied a suitable and lovely meal across the road. So, the advice is: if you have any specific dietary needs, avoid this cafe.... Neither the waitresses nor (apparently) the manager /owner gives a toss about you!

Been frequenting Chick King for the past 24 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else! Love the place and it's team!

Will be going back! Food was excellent and the staff were all wonderful. Really helpful without being obsequious and a fabulous atmosphere, inside and out. An absolute gem❤️

Husband requested a table last minute to which the team here managed to arrange at short notice. On arrival, a lovely little cafe with polite and friendly staff. Really nice breakfast in a beautiful location.

We visited the grove for Mother’s Day, 6 adults, 1 child. 3 x roast chicken, 2 x 8oz fillet steak, 1 children’s chicken nuggets +chips. My meal (steak) came out and looked great, although my stone wasn’t hot enough to cook my steak, onions and mushrooms, my steak although looked great, tasted horrible. £23 to only be satisfied with the chips! My wife also couldn’t eat the chicken and neither could my father Inlaw, only eating less that half there meals. I wouldn’t go back if I’d not Eaton for a month and was offered a free meal!

Fab food. The crispy aubergines were out of this world! Strongly recommend trying those.

As good as opposite pub but less touristy or as expensive 8.5/10

We have placed orders from here on Uber eats, we don’t live near here and we have chip shops local, but honestly hands down the best food, fresh, hot and it has to travel to us , tasty and always no mistakes with any of the order, my little girl is a picky eater but guarantee she will always finish her meal, this place deserves the five stars well done

Not a first time, whether with family or friends, we enjoyed lot… nice place to gather together… Good atmosphere, drinks and the food is great, perfectly presented and delicious!

Visited the tea rooms for lunch with elderly parents .. food and service were brilliant, so much so that I ordered a full cake for a birthday too - it was fabulous !
