The best restaurants in West Midlands

Fantastic family restaurant. Quality Sunday lunch for 10. Great atmosphere, great wine and nothing too much trouble. Definitely be back.

Pleasant surroundings outside, unfortunately the food was not too a very high standard. Ham and piccalilli sandwich, ham tasteless (wafer thin and breaded, supermarket family pack springs to mind). Should have been advertised as a Piccalilli sandwich, Coffee was fine.

Amazing food would highly recommended carnt wait to return. Staff couldn't do enough and the bistro itself was stunning. Thankyou for a great evening.

Great spot for the theatre, food was lovely once it arrived !! We booked early as we were going to the theatre and waited over an hour for our food!! It was cooked fresh and delicious when we eventually got it. Staff apologised for the delay and said that they have a new chef. Will definitely give it another go.

We visit The Dry Spy quite frequently for in my opinion, the best Sunday lunch locally. Last night, along with friends we visited on a Wednesday evening to try the fixed price midweek special menu. Absolutely brilliant, plenty of choice, great to have option of 1 = £12, 2 = £15 or 3 =£18 priced courses, all good size portions. The steak on mains is fabulous, as was the fish & chips. Staff so welcoming & attentive.

Absolutely amazing, very friendly staff definitely a family vibe, very quick service . Food was great I had a hotdog and chips amazing food no complaints at all. My mum is gluten free they had a wide gluten free variety (she had fish and chips) and the food was just as good as the regular! Batter gold me crispy, honestly amazing!

First impressions count. In the swan it’s always the smell of strong bleach as you walk through the front door. I’ve visited several times but can never get past the bleach. Beer is good in the beer garden away from the smell. This place could be so much better!

Came here for a meal with family for a birthday last night (25/10/24). The food was fantastic, full of flavour and fresh, but the service, lacks severely. It took nigh on 15 minutes to present us with the bill, to which we reviewed and found they had added £10+. We looked at the menu we were presented with when entering and found that they had increased each meal we had by £2. Yes, £2 isn't too much of an increase, but it is the principal of it. Without any prior notice, they had increased the prices without changing it on the menu we were handed. They also said the card machine was not working, even though we saw a customer (who happened to be my uncle) come in and pay on card (via contactless) as he had no cash. It's such a shame to be honest. The food itself as aforementioned is brilliant, but the service from the 'manager' is disappointing and very poor. He did not even apologise for trying to pull the wool over our eyes with the prices. Check your final bill when it comes to the table and make sure nothing has been added on.

They never put the sauce I order on, too busy chatting between themselves leaning all around the kitchen. Don’t acknowledge the customer until you get their attention, stick with a sauceless roll at my feet AGAIN

After living in the area for years we finally visited the Den. Tea and a panini was ordered by both of use. We were warned of a wait, but it didn't take too long. Good quality ingredients and tasty. Well worth a visit

Myself and a friend visited The Bridge for the Sunday Carvery. It was excellent and superb value for money! We had the carvery and a pudding which was also excellent.

Very disappointing experience. I really rated Moohans when it opened, but the food and service has dropped off. Ordered a takeaway, which was missing several dishes and two of the curries were almost identical despite being described as different. I called the restaurant to provide constructive feedback (rather than leave a negative review) and was promptly promised a call back, but they couldn't even manage that. Won't be going again, too many poor experiences.

I had this meal brought to me by a friend. Two battered sausages and small chips, worst I have ever had the batter, on the sausage was horrible and chips looked like they were all scraps. I haven't been there for a few months and it was ok then. Will not buy from there again.

Just been here for a coffee and cake. Fantastic place, very quaint. The garden centre seems to get bigger as you walk round and you have to try the scones and chocolate crunch. Brilliant place, recommended.

Took my 9 year old daughter for afternoon tea and it didn’t disappoint. Have been meaning to go here for. Years and was glad we did. It’s quirky decor is all in theme with the mad hatter even down to the glass which had Alice in wonderland on. We both thought it was lovely. Our afternoon tea had plenty on and we could chose what slice of cake we wanted with it. Both the ladies were friendly and it was busy so would recommend booking especially if there is a few of you. All the food that came out looked lovely, will definitely be returning.
