The best restaurants in West Midlands

Not from the area and saw this place online, so called in for evening meal with family as staying near by. Food was great, portions were huge, lovely decor. We were given beautiful desserts. Shame we don't live locally otherwise I'd definitely be a return customer.

We live in Worcester and this is the first time we have been here. It will not be the last. The cafe has a calm, sophisticated and relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of space between the tables. The food was just delicious! I had a steak ciabatta with salad and my husband had the best chicken pesto linguine we have ever tasted. Lovely service from the staff too. Thank you for a beautiful lunch. Oh and great coffee and iced tea too.

I’ve been a customer of The Bran Tub for over twenty years, but know that the very knowledgeable owner, Tanya, has run a health shop in Malvern for over 40 years. She never fails to give me excellent advice, and I appreciate her taking time from running her very busy and popular shop to always come up with the right product to help me. Her prices are very reasonable, and that’s a bonus especially in the current economic climate. Her staff are always friendly and efficient, especially Catherine. Maggie Tucker (Malvern).

Best jacket potato I’ve had in a long time worth every penny x Excellent service staff are wonderful and very friendly phoned up my order dead on time to collect I recommend them xx

Great friendly pub with good cosy atmosphere. Staff are friendly and efficient. Food is o erall very yood though prices like most places have increased. Paid £19 for a mixed grill which was basically a cooked breakfast with peas and a very small steak. No chicken portion and steak only 4oz though have to say was cooked beautifully . One of party had his usual liver and mash though we could see gravy looked a bit congealed and not the dark lovely usual. We gave feedback to Mike behind bar but don't think he believed us or wanted to accept any feedback that was slightly negative though to be fair he did say he was sorry if that was our opinion. Would return but bit more careful about what order.

Amazing Sunday lunch! Our waiter George was brilliant! … and a massive mention for my dessert choice.. the crumble .. 10/10! Well done guys!

Delicious bacon & mushroom sandwiches today. Well made lattes & hot chocolate. Lovely relaxing little Cafe. Will Return.

I always order a delivery. They are so kind and polite. As are the delivery drivers. We live in a remote area which is difficult to find- but they find us and the food is always hot. They have excellent deals - so always look out for them. They do Strawberry Miranda which is just God's nectar I swear. Very well priced and will listen to what you want and provide it. 10 out of 10!!

I'd been looking forward to eating here. Independent and serving the local industrial/retail area. The staff were friendly efficient and business like I ordered "Brunch ". Bacon sausage egg beans chips bread and butter. The cafe was fairly quiet so I anticipated piping hot freshly cooked food. It was the opposite., with the exception of the fried egg. The remainder was luke warm and the bacon rock hard. Such a disappointment. I'm guessing I was just unlucky. Unfortunately in this business every meal has to be pretty well perfect to generate repeat business. I wish the ladies well but won't be visiting again.

An absolutely lovely little tea room, run by a welcoming and friendly lady, whos rarebit and cheese scones are to die for. Me and my partner make a point of stopping here anytime we go near Ross and are never disappointed.

Paninis from this place are vastly underrated - they're hands down the finest I ever tasted in Small Heath. Tasty flavor, juicy, fresh, love it.

Disgusted with attitude of Manager We always use Spice River, Today we ordered King Prawn Korma £9.50 Chicken Passanda £7.95 & Chicken Tikka Masala £7.95 Sauce, Naan etc fine but 4 prawns for £9.50 5 small bits of chicken in Masala 6 small bits of chicken in Passanda Tubs full of sauce but 4 PRAWNS? less than half a chicken breast in each chicken dish!!! I called to complain, they spoke with chef who stated he puts 8 prawns in & 8 pieces of chicken in each. I asked If believe chef or customer, he said what can we do. I said at least £10 should be refunded from the £41 cost. I was offered £10 off our next order, I explained we wouldn't order again as might get a problem again. The person on phone spoke with manager again but refused to refund £10. I asked If happy for me to leave a bad review & would never use them again & just said thank you. What a rip off, If I sat Inside I would have sent meal back! Customer service shocking, I have been to Spice River many times over 3 years, once before had a problem & used elsewhere but last time was good so ordered again. I have talked with staff inside & been nice chat, so to treat a regular customer like this is shocking & I hope you close down for ripping us off.

Bonito café, muy limpio, un suministro precioso de pasteles. Buen servicio a tiempo. Mesas un poco estrechas juntas. Pedimos dos tés de crema. Recibimos una hermosa olla grande de té entre nosotros y dos bollos calientes cada uno; uno simple y una fruta. Lo único que lo defraudó fue que comimos menos de una cucharadita de crema cada uno y casi lo mismo de mermelada. Sin mantequilla. Esa pequeña cantidad de crema / mermelada no cubrió medio bollo, sin importar dos bollos. Decepcionante dado que todo lo demás era encantador. Hubiera sido un buen precio si se hubiera suministrado suficiente mermelada y crema, pero se sentía caro para lo que en última instancia era solo té y dos bollos secos cada uno.

The perfect tea like drinking a clear glass window with amazing multi flavours that dance on the tongue..... The food is the best in Coventry....my difficult to please daughter was even impressed..Thank you we will visit again soon.

I was so impressed with our fish and chips at lunch today, 16th June, had to write this! The fish was amazing, white, chunky cod exactly how it should be, freshly cooked! Chips were how I like them dry and hot! Not soggy and dripping in oil! Thank you for making our lunch perfect!
