The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Staff were pleasant, approachable and talkative. Service was fast and the food was great. Staff offered recommendations of things to do in the area as we were visiting from elsewhere. A very pleasant experience all round.

Hidden gem serving the most delicious food with locally sourced ingredients in a historic setting. After starting with complimentary olive infused bread and whipped goat milk butter, we were served a perfectly cooked filet with peppercorn sauce, a delicious local halibut with incredible beef ravioli, and to die for chunky duck fat chips. Although all of the deserts looked tempting, we opted for the very generous selection of homemade crackers and local cheese. Everything was perfection. The hotel manager, Charlie, was our charming server with some great local tips and just the right amount of attentiveness. We are foodies who love to travel from Australia to the US to Europe and the Middle East, and The Royalist now ranks as one of our favorites in the world. Not to be missed.

We had a birthday afternoon tea here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being February and miserable weather, we had the place to ourselves but the staff had gone to a lot of effort - decorating the birthday girl's table with birthday confetti. Nice and cosy inside. The food was very good - nice selection of sandwiches - what I would call sensible fillings like cheese and chutney, ham and tomato, tuna mayo, and egg. Our only comment would be to include a few more of the tuna and egg ones as there were quite a few of the ham and tomato which for our group was the least popular flavour. A selection of four different cakes - carrot, victoria sponge, chocolate and a very good syrupy flapjack. Small pieces but we liked that as you could have a bit of everything without feeling like you were going to explode! Very fresh and tasty. Finally cream scones - and yay - proper clotted cream! My son has a lot of allergies so chose a baked potato off the main menu. The staff were very helpful at the booking stage sorting out his meal and he enjoyed it. Am sure it must be lovely in summer time with all the plants and being able to sit outside - will definitely come back again.

Wow This place is great, good fresh coffee, excellent home made cake, good clean toilets, comfortable, warm, service with a smile too. Very reasonable prices. 100% recommendation

Amazing food and a very friendly and warm atmosphere. 😄

Absolute stunning service and food! Such a good vibe! From the moment you step in into the restaurant you feel so welcomed! Chef knows how to cook simple food but extend it to another level! Old hill black and white movie 🎥 is nice little touch which brings this nice vibe! Will be coming back and totally recommend this place to everyone !

The pub itself is absolutely stunning, me and my partner visited yesterday evening and enjoyed a wonderful meal and some lovely drinks. The staff inside are very welcoming and genuinely want to talk to you! Had some great conversations, the pub itself is conveniently placed and has a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Local residents come in with their lovely dogs too and are so lovely and welcoming too. Staff are lovely, food is incredible. Thank you for making our evening so wholesome and lovely! It was an absolute pleasure to visit your establishment and spend a few hours. Absolutely awesome place 👌🏽

Another excellent lunch at the Pheasant. We've been several times over last 4 years and never been disappointed. This time we kicked off with salmon gravadlax with blood orange and deep fried squid followed by excellent hake in an Indonesian curry sauce with pak choi - superb!! With desserts, glass of wine each, bread (also very good - ciabatta, lightly toasted with butter on the side) the bill came to just over £100. The standards are very high and you won't be disappointed!

We booked for my 70th birthday as a family group we has the whole of upstairs The service was exceptional and the food is the best I’ve had in a long time i can recommend the duck Every member of the 21 of us enjoyed there meals Which is unusual there is usually some one that some thing is not to there liking Considering its only a small terraced property and can not accommodate many people there prices are very reasonable You can understand why its so popular you can not always get a reservation Im definitely going again In fact im there in a few weeks time for friends birthday Its a hidden gem in the area

Clearly a pub for regulars, young girl on the bar was good. What appeared to be manager/owner ignored me on three occasions to serve regulars first. Very poor

I had the pleasure of visiting The Shrewsbury Arms recently, and I have to say that Maddie really made the experience special. While Kay and Emma were away, Maddie stepped in to run the pub, and she did an absolutely fantastic job! The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed — perfect for winding down after a long day. Maddie has a way of making everyone feel right at home, with her laid-back approach and friendly demeanor. Whether you're popping in for a quiet pint or enjoying a meal with friends, she creates the ideal environment for just kicking back and enjoying the moment. The pub itself is charming, with a cozy vibe and a great selection of local beers. Maddie was also very attentive, making sure all the guests were well taken care of, even when the place was buzzing with energy. All in all, a perfect pub experience! Maddie really holds the place together. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, drinks, and a chilled-out vibe. Well done, Maddie!

It was amazing experience and I will visit again

If you have never eaten at the Dog and Partridge then you really have missed out on lovely food and fantastic service. Six of us met up on Saturday night for a birthday celebration. The bar was full of locals watching the football and the rugby, but as our table was in a cosy room at the far end of the building we didn't hear a thing apart from when Wolves scored! It's a good idea to have a look at the menu online before you go as there are so many choices, and options within those choices. If you can't find anything on this menu that takes your fancy then you are impossible to please. We enjoyed and can recommend the minty lamb pie, braised brisket, hunters chicken and giant filled Yorkshire pud. Generous portions and all delicious. Desserts of ice creams, lemon cheesecake, syrup sponge and chocolate orange cake were also really tasty and thoroughly enjoyed. Our server for the evening was Laura and she deserves an extra-special mention. This is a lady who radiates first-rate customer service. Efficient, smiley, witty and caring; she is a gem. Our thanks also to Becky, one of the lovely staff, who baked a superb birthday cake for us and visited our table to ensure all was well. If you are looking for great food at a reasonable price, plenty of choice at the bar and top notch customer service, then look no further than this wonderful venue.

Amazing food! Great gravy and very hearty. Bursting with flavours. Gives a good rendition of comforting British food with a modern flare.

Great venue, fantastic food, really friendly staff who always go above and beyond, cannot recommend this pub enough! Would go back.
