The best restaurants in West Midlands

We’ve been using Lawrence’s for some years now and the bread and cakes are always good. A range of ‘proper bread’, not the typical supermarket variety, plus delicious traditional cakes such as Chelsea’s, Lardy cakes, hot cross buns as well as excellent Battenberg, pineapple and Bakewell tarts, shortbread in various forms, a wide range of temptations always on offer. If you want a really good local bakery, look no further.

The post office owner is the rudest person I have ever met! Shop is good but customer service zero…..

Unfortunately unable to sample the food as this business is locked firmly in the 1950's and is cash only. Drag yourselves into the 21st century and zi'll give it a go

Very disappointing. We waiting half an hour for the drinks and the food didn’t arrive until almost an hour after we ordered it. The place was empty bar another table so we were confused what was taking so long. We ordered four toasties, Mac and Cheese, and some pastries. Two of the toasties hadn’t been toasted - so they were just cheese and bacon sandwiches!! We were so hungry at this point that we didn’t bother sending it back, worried it would take another hour before we got the food we ordered. The Mac and Cheese was just some pasta with grated cheese on top (no white sauce used). The pastries were nice enough but nothing wow. Overall we left dissatisfied and felt like it was £60 not worth spending. Won’t be visiting again.

The food was awful and it was also stone cold, don't bother wasting your money. It is over priced too. I will not be returning

A fantastic experience in a very cosy cafe. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and it was surprisingly well priced. Looking forward to visiting again soon

Good cafe but slightly over the top prices for the area

Lovely day shopping in Birmingham with the family only to be spoiled by the terrible attitude of a member of staff, asked for thee glasses of tap water to go with the cappuccino ordered, only to be told to pay 40p per plastic cup!!!! Or if you prefer bring your own cups next time. Face like thunder, obviously having a bad day or in desperate need of a customer service course. If this is the first impression visitors to Birmingham get coming to brum, I pity them

Carvery was cold,Husbands chicken burger was dry,Daughters burger was burnt,Father in law and mother in law both had stakes and said were a little dry

Great staff great service . Best place in west brom . Always safe and nice people . always clean and friendly

We have used this Chinese Takeaway many times and are never disappointed. The food is of excellent quality, and the service is second to none. Telephone orders are recommended as they can get busy at peak times. They no not offer a delivery service but there is plenty of free parking right in front of the shop, and your order is always ready when they say it will be.

Had a wonderful Christmas Afternoon Tea, thank you, lovely food, lots of it, great value for money and friendly service. Look forward to seeing you again

Para alguien nuevo en cocina asiática o quizás un regular; esta es una visita obligada. Me pareció que para un amigo que era nuevo para estas premisas, el personal era demasiado dispuestos a asesorar sobre lo que para comenzar. El menú es bastante amplia con varios aspectos positivos para la mayoría de los platos. La popularidad de estos locales se mide por el hecho de que en mi última visita fue prácticamente llena a las 8 pm. atienden a familias como parejas y grupos pequeños.

Visited on recommendation of lady in village store to try the oatcakes. We both had cheese and they were yummy and good fuel for a yomp up The Roaches. Both ladies friendly, chatty & welcoming. We took a piece of toffee tiffin away to enjoy later in the day. PS: Bought 3 pkts of oatcakes to take home to share with friends & family!

Cold burger, dried bread, buffalo chicken poppers were a cut up chicken burger with some sauce squirted over. Also some wilted lettuce in the bottom. Of the container it came in. 😞 disappointed.
