The best restaurants in West Midlands

I wanted to do something special for my parent's and so I organised an afternoon tea for them. Well I couldn't have asked for anything better and they were looked after tremendously, with fabulous food, atmosphere and 1st class customer service. Beautiful sandwiches, savouries, cakes, scones and plenty of tea and they thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Highly recommended for anybody wanting to be pampered.

Great vegan cakes and food available to go with your hot drink. All you want for your alternative to mass produced food and cleaning products.

Lovely macarons, and I’ve tried plenty from many different places, great flavours, very nice girl served me. Very happy.

Delicious food at very reasonable prices, lovely staff, immaculately clean facilities, a relaxing atmosphere and an excellent drinks selection. Perfect all rounder; thank you for a lovely evening!

Having moved into the area 2 years ago, we’d been meaning to visit the White Lion as part of trying all the local restaurants. The staff were very friendly indeed and made us feel welcome. We had a drink in the bar whilst we waited for our table to be made ready in the restaurant and were called about 20 minutes later to go in. Having waited a while I had expected that the restaurant must’ve been full, but it wasn’t, less than half the tables were occupied which made the wait a little strange, not a problem, just odd. I ordered fish and chips and my wife their burger. Whilst both the fish and the burger were nice, they were both served with soggy chips, the kind that you get when the oil used to deep fry them just isn’t hot enough. I get crispy chips with my £4.95 fish take away from the chippy across the road, so at £13 per mains we’re talking top gastro pub prices for which getting the basics right isn’t an unreasonable expectation.

I'm going to give 5 stars just on help given to me by dawn today ' let's hope the foods still as good

Absolutely brilliant. We had Sunday Lunch. Great service friendly atmosphere. Super food at an affordable price. highly recommended

Dropped in for a spot of lunch as we were passing through. Friendly staff. Decent menu at reasonable prices. Freshly produced food with decent portions. No WiFi.

A great place to meet friends for lunch or a cuppa! Lovely welcoming staff & fabulous homemade cakes & lunch choices! Good value too! My toastie was delicious & one of the best skinny cappuccino’s in Sutton !

The guys working at the Market Plaice are absolutely fantastic, we took a group of young people on a Halloween walk through Bromsgrove and decided to go for a bite to eat at Market Plaice, The guys provided all of our young people with cakes sweets and everything they had to celebrate with us, we had fish chips and sausage's which was absolutely delicious, thank you for making our Halloween walk extra special :) you guys are amazing, keep doing what your doing, you really showed us great community spirit throughout. we will definitely be back soon.

I have recently moved to walsall the New Inn is my nearest pub but it seem the owner / manager opens when he wants. I have been several times in normal pub hours and it has been closed also there is no contact phone number. So looks like I'll have to find somewhere else.

We literally Turner up! Ordered food and drinks which arrived timely, food was lovely to enjoy - you need to be careful with retardant which brands themselves Turkish - This was perfect. A small family run business, which you can feel the attention to guests. Could not fault them! Recommended!

I was quite excited by the concept and was assured by the owner there would be plenty of vegetarian/vegan options on offer. Having an Indian background my instant thought was ‘ok, can’t go wrong with the vegetarian dishes.’ We were a large group with kids. The seating was tight and we were unable to sit comfortably. Only 1 highchair available therefore unable to accommodate baby who had to remain in pushchair. Chef took considerable amount of time preparing what looked like Bhel. Drinks took a long time to reach our table. At this point, we had 4 H-ANGRY kids. Food arrived at a slow pace, which was largely disappointing since it lacked variety, flavour and spice. There was not a single piece of Paneer that was served for the vegetarians. This is a premium item for vegetarians like chicken/lamb is for non-vegetarians. There was no grilled Paneer for starters, nor Paneer curry as a Mains. The non-vegetarian food was mostly tasteless. The Pooris had already been pre-made with a coconut filling (not nice) so when we asked for Plain Pooris/ Naan for the Kids they could not accommodate. We asked for plain chips for the Kids we were served with curly fries. However when the Starters were served it oddly contained plain chips, we were baffled. When additional food/ drinks were requested to the table it was either very slow or forgotten about. On the whole I was completely disappointed with the quality and variety of food on offer. The service and communication was not great. The price per person / all you can eat concept cannot be justified. As a group we did not eat £20pp worth of food. For a vegetarian dining at this restaurant, it is very expensive for what you get. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Really nice food, i had the Mediterranean wrap which was lovely but could have done with less lettuce and more chicken in the wrap. Lovely tea cakes and super coffee. I sat on the wooden benches around edge of cafe but as with previous person I totally agree even though there are cushions the benches are still very uncomfortable. Very pleasant staff.

This restaurant/pub is a regular Sunday afternoon venue for lunch. The food remains of the highest quality and the chefs are a cheerful, friendly and engaging crowd. The bar is staffed by equally friendly people and the regular chap has now been joined by a new team member who is going to be a great addition. While my family and I have our ‘usual’ preferences for food we have, on occasion, chosen different dishes from the varied and interesting menu and they have been a wonderful revelation and demonstrates the excellent skills of the kitchen members. Our next visit can’t happen soon enough!
