The best restaurants in West Midlands

Cannot recommend enough. I moved to the area and was living in temporary accomodation for a month until I was able to find something else closer to my workplace. Moving out this weekend. This lovely fish and chips place will be really missed, certainly wont miss my landlady... Nor my room. A pleasant surprise just around the corner from the Brunswick st, lovely staff, very fresh food and reasonably priced. Iam vegetarian. Tasty veggie burger at a great price you wont find elsewhere. Lovely chips and everything else. ❤️🙏

The food was tasty and satisfying.

As a family of four plus partners we were excited to try Stoneaged for a Birthday meal at 8pm on a Saturday night. Points of note below: - We were allowed to sit down and order drinks before then being told there was no fillet steak available; very disappointed. - Two of us that were going to have fillet decided instead to share a chateaubriand. Then told there were none of them left either. - Informed they had 1 t-bone remaining, rump and ribeyes. - Long wait for food even though there were 5 chefs on staff and only 2 waiting staff, who were ran off their feet but provided an excellent service despite the challenges they were facing. - A pizza that had less taste than a frozen tesco pizza. - Two orders of cheesy garlic bread that looked completely different, one overcooked and one undercooked. - Eton Mess with no fruit in it. - Chocolate sundae for which was just chocolate ice cream and cream. The saving grace of the night was the lovely Amelia who dealt with the circumstances amazingly. We’ve been told they are under new management so hopefully this will get better.

It was fairly quiet with diners at the time of our visit. Service is well organised. When it comes to the food it's easier to say what was nice than wasn't. The good stuff which tasted fab was the turkey, cauli cheese, roast potatoes and roast carrots - virtually everything else was average I'm afraid, including the beef and gravy. The pork balls and Yorkie puds were poor. Peas were starting to get discoloured. The meat portion overall was a tad on the small side for a large plate. Verdict: not as good as the old carvery which ended in July 2023, but still not bad.

We phoned through a large order at just after 6pm on a Saturday evening.An hour and a half later we telephoned to see how much longer and was told that our order hadn't even been started and would be another hour and a half. The group decided that we would cancel our order and when we told the man on the telephone that his customer service was poor, he laughed at us and then proceeded to ask us to give him a moment while he tried to sort something out for us. We politely told him where he could place our order and will definitely not be using again. The word will be passed around our local community to avoid at all costs. Only given one star in order to post review.

This was the second time I went for bottomless brunch and both times were poor. The cost is very expensive compared to most bottomless brunch. Nearly £40 for 3 small dishes and basic drinks to have cocktails you pay an extra £14.95! Definitely not worth the money. All food was pre ordered yet some dishes were missed but the response from staff was rude stating someone must have eaten them yet there were people that were part of the group that had only had 1 dish. I had a bowl of rice brought out that probably sat there for about 15 minutes before the katsu curry came out so the rice was cold. Considering the food was pre ordered it should have been more organised. I also find that the staff hate groups who do bottomless brunch they think people should sit there quietly which is never going to be realistic for that sort of party. Absolutely don’t believe a group should be rowdy but having a laugh should be allowed. Just feel that staff need to smile and have a lesson in customer service and not look down on people. Jack was great though both times been polite and friendly so thank you.

Excellent food served by very friendly people. Felt really welcome. Oct 24. Just been back a second time. Amazing. Great portions, nice people. Big shout out for the chef .... great food.

Been done out really nicely and Cleopatras is a fantastic addition, 10/10 reccomend

Outstanding, simply outstanding. You think you have grasped the concept of ‘depth of flavour’ and then you get to sample their roe buck consommé and it opens up a new world of taste experience. The monkfish could not have been more perfectly cooked. All of the staff were knowledgable, passionate and friendly whilst also being efficient and skilled….. quite a feat to pull off successfully. The wine pairing is most definitely worth a punt, if you are lucky enough to have a designated driver….traditional but with a few curve balls thrown in.

Little gem of a pub with restaurant. Food excellent, as well as service. Best to book to guarantee a table. Good choice of dishes for every course

Have eaten at Thawa Bridge several times, but have now had a couple of deliveries. It is without a doubt, the best curry north of the Black Country. Bloomin' lovely.

Very pleasant surroundings. Very strict control.

This pub is one of the winners in the shake up of Stourbridge pubs entering the 2025 Good Beer Guide. Everything you would expect from a Black Country Ales house - large selection of well kept, fresh cask ales; comfortable seating; smart decor and efficient, friendly service.

Used to be excellent Gone downhill since brewery took it over and George left. A shadow of its former self.

This was an amazing place, even my husband who doesn't usually like pizza really loved his, particularly the caperberries on his Tonno pizza. I shared a gluten free Goatfather pizza with my 91 year old mother-in-law which we both really enjoyed. Husband and I also loved having garlic oil and chilli oil brought to the table as MIL doesn't like either, it was fab to be able to drizzle on ours! We also shared a bowl of sweet potato fries and a Rocket and Parmesan salad, all very delicious! For dessert I had the gluten free Chocolate and Coconut Tart with Blackcurrant sorbet which was absolutely delicious possibly one of the best gf puddings I've had! The staff were really friendly and helpful, would highly recommend! Oh the loos were very clean as well!
