Without doubt the most delicious food in Brum…. QBox is an absolute winner, Dan’s talent is out of this world. Highly recommended. Without delay support this AMAZING independent restaurant, you won’t regret it. I am so very excited for the changes to come post kickstarter campaign, go back it today!

This is one of my favourite place to eat, lovely healthy food.

Amazing people doing amazing stuff

Great food and service second to none. Average meal price between £12 to £15 and daily specials menu. Most alcoholic drinks sold, tea/coffee and soft drinks. Best to book online or ring ahead to make sure it's open as this is often used for special occasions and closed to the public.

A really very high quality experience. The owners have ensured that everything needed is available, and that there is plenty of space for different groups to use different rooms. All rooms are ensuite, and extra loos on ground and first floor. After the restoration, the place has been wonderfully furnished. Breakfasts were provided and were lovely.

We had a very nice cup of tea, china cup and saucer, pot of tea with a pot of hot water. The toasted tea cakes are a good size, served hot with butter. It's a really lovely coffee shop, with a few items to buy including cards. There is a corner for toddlers to play too. The staff were lovely and really informative on local knowledge.

A delight of a place. Warm and friendly atmosphere. The most obliging of staff.

The food and service here is fantastic. The restaurant is more of a takeaway as it is very small can probably fit two people in. The food is always really fresh and tasty. I personally think it is a little overpriced compared to other places

Cosy space with great food and service. We had a lovely evening and especially appreciated the duck and venison dishes with a good red. We will surely come again. ❤️

My favourite restaurant in the world! I came here twice two years ago and think about it all the time. Can’t wait for the next visit. Bruce only uses the absolute freshest ingredients and it shows - the taste of dishes here is so tender on the tastebuds and exploding with umami you want to pinch yourself to see if it’s real. Posting below a review I wrote in August 2022 after my first visit: ‘One of the absolute highlights of our Cornwall trip was a beautiful little gem of a restaurant in Penzance called the Shore. The chef, Bruce, greets you enthusiastically, barefoot, at the door, introduces every course to the 12 guests in the space, and does everything from nabbing the freshest fish from local fishmongers before they even go to the public to washing the dishes to renovating the space. Bruce is adamant on freshness and bringing out the fullness of the flavour in everything - sea and garden ingredients served with a Japanese-inspired twist. I think a good indication of his sophisticated and delicate but unpretentious style of cooking is how he intentionally never uses an ingredient that's only pretty as garnish but can't be eaten. His food is truly food as art, and in a way it reminded me of really good therapy in the sense that you can taste within each slice and sliver of food the kind of immense skill, rich trove of knowledge, and keen insight that take decades to build. It reminded me of the intimacy of certain works of immersive theatre which offers an intimate experience in a space tailored to the production for the audience, but I have to say, seeing shows are much more tiring because you have to concentrate the entire time, without getting divine food! (Another way in which the night reminded me of theatre is how you can never get the same experience again, and how the realisation makes you savour the preciousness of every moment.) Bruce’s blend of down-to-earthness and high level of skill, craft, and understanding is such a marvel to me. It's easy for mastery in cooking to be touted at high prices, dressed up in fluff and frills, or for it to be surrounded by an air of exclusivity and elitism, but here the intimacy of the setting is because of practicality (one person can only cook for so many!) and also because of a real emotional attentiveness. In a world where "intimacy" or "homey vibes" can be sold as commodities, it was refreshing to just return to the basics and be in a situation where intimacy is the natural result of the setting and the person's philosophy. It also reminds me of the Japanese concept of shokunin, referring to artisans, craftspeople, et al who are singularly devoted to their craft over long periods of time (as long as a lifetime or beyond) and with a deep sense of humility. The grilled bass was absorbently juicy, and having pickles before hake and mussels is a genius stroke because the sourness of the former fully brought out the sweetness of the latter. The memory of the courgette, tomato, and squid soup still makes my mouth tingle with umami. The skinned tomatoes were tender, the diced courgette as freshly flavoured as green mangos, the squid impeccable, served with a side of chilled broth which you can feed into the bowl on your own. What I also appreciated about Bruce's food was how attuned he was to the outside world and how his guests were feeling - he served a chill soup because of the hot weather, which shows a connectedness with one's surroundings, the antithesis of the hubristic belief that you can get anything by air freight as long as you're willing to pay more. I have to say: Bruce makes me understand why things get put on the Michelin Guide, and I want to give him all the recs in the world!’

Great food at excellent prices. We will be back.

I had my first ever Fish and Chips at The Golden Chippy and it was very good! The batter is crispy and the cod almost melts in your mouth, the salad was also very good and I liked the texture the chips had. The staff was very friendly as well, I asked which fish should I try for my first ever Fish and Chips and the young man serving us promptly suggested I try the cod. We didn’t have to wait much for our food either, so I can recommend The Golden Chippy if you’re staying at the nearby Hotel and don’t really want to wait long for dinner. Thank you The Golden Chippy for making my first London visit a lovely and tasty one!

Always an amazing place to eat. Food is always top quality and any restrictions food wise are accommodated. Can never praise the staff or chefs higher

Great service and cold cider 😁😁. I’ve been going here for many years after I’ve walked Snowdon and it’s always been great.

Myself and family attended last night for my 30th and I cannot thank the staff enough for all the attentiveness they gave to not only myself and family but to my two children. Myself & my husband shared the steak platter and it was beyond perfection. The cockles pickie bits were to dieeeee for🤌🏼 myself and my son could of eaten a bucket of them. As we said to the staff last night.. we've had food at the shard (London) and that food stuck with us.. but this meal last night out done the shard! My mother's pork was flawless, fathers steak cooked to perfection. Our sides, kids meals just all beyond. With two fussy kids.. they ate every crumb. My sons first words this morning (6 years old) "mam, that was the best meal last night I've EVER had". Massive thank you for the singing with my cake.. the girls that work their are so lovely & go above and beyond! I can't say thank you to you all enough. we will be back 💜
