The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Terrible service from Julie the manager. She was extremely rude and unprofessional. Huffed and puffed for a long time when we asked for vegetarian sausages. This is our first time visiting the Stonebridge branch, and we will not be going back to any Toby Carvery after this experience. If you do decide you want to subject yourself to the misery that is Toby Carvery, you would be better off travelling a bit farther to the one in Binley or Hall Green.

My girlfriend and I had a pre valentines lunch on 13/2 after randomly popping in the week before, both times the food was amazing along with the service, the young girl that seemed like she was working her first shift was brilliant and a natural with people. We will definitely be becoming regulars. Also loved the decor of the pub. Thankyou

The best fish and chips we've had in ages. We went for lunch two weeks in a row, once for a full family meal and once for a quick lunch. Both times, the food was superb and decent value with the two for one on mains during weekday lunches. The fish and chips were amazing. We'd recommend asking for the thinner chips with the fish as they were a bit better than the chunky ones. Definitely going back!

Great pub, staff are friendly and helpful, dog friendly with wood burning fires in the winter

My wife and I would like to express our appreciation for the outstanding service we received from all the staff at the Nailers Arms on Friday 21st February 2025. We decided to have some food and drink at the nailers between our intimate wedding ceremony and our evening party. When we booked the restaurant for 22 people including children member of staff who took our booking showed us different areas of the restaurant that they could section of so our guests would all be seated in one area. We picked a area and booked the carvery. The member of staff said we was welcome to come with either the evening before or the morning of the booking to put up some decorations etc. One the day of our booking we all arrived at the nailers and our tables had been reserved in the location we had chosen. We all ordered some drinks and sat down to have a drink before food. It was at this point the nailers staff started to put glasses of prosecco on the table for the adults (even providing non alcoholic for the drivers). My wife I was shocked and didn’t realise who had purchased it until the manager and the staff stood by our table all with glasses of prosecco and the manager tapped the side of his glass and said “myself and all the staff at the nailers wish you both a happy future together “ he then said the drink is a gift my us to you. We were absolutely shocked that they had gone out their way to help us celebrate our special day. After having a drink we went up to get our meal. I have to say I have never had a carvery like this before. It was absolutely amazing, the meat was all cooked so nicely you could tell who ever cooked it did so well pride. There was a number of different potatoes from new potatoes to roast potatoes. There was a large selection of vegetables and they were all absolutely delicious. Unlike most carvery who give you one or two stuffing balls which are normally hard and dry and over cooked having been under hot lights for ages the nailers had a massive pot of stuffing that you could have as much as you licked and it was just lovely cooked and not hard and over cooked. We went to the carvery at about two pm so this was during service and not at the start of service. Normally you go to a carvery at the start to make sure it’s hot and just cooked. This isn’t necessary at the nailers as even hours after the start of service the food was fresh, hot and all choices still available and lovely. We stayed at the nailers for about three hours continuing to have drinks and chatting with family and friends. At no point did we feel like we needed to leave after our food or move into the bar as we had eaten. We just stayed where we were drinking and chatting. Thank you all staff at the nailers for making our time at the nailers wonderful. We will be back soon for another lovely carvery.

Sanjeeta was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. Afternoon tea was great and everyone really enjoyed it. Would happily come back again.

Great pub, the food is stunning and home made, the beers lovely and Very well priced to, the live music makes for a brilliant evening, can’t wait to go back.

Went on Sunday 11th Feb, food ok, could have been hotter, would have told them, if anyone bothered to ask, service very poor, young team, no leadership, slow with drinks, took 3 attempts to deliver 1 coffee, brought over with no sugar, had to be asked for, no spoon had to be asked for. No goodbye

The windmill is a great space for family time. the Menu covers all my fussy eaters and keeps us full. Michelle and her team were attentive and friendly. A big bonus of the windmill is the large garden and play area which you do not get in other pubs/ restaurants. The garden is beautifully maintained and play area is kept clean and safe. Couldn’t recommend the windmill enough.

We have visited the Warehouse since 1976 and although not regulars due to living in London for most of the time since then we have never had a bad experience. The food has always been great. We have no problems should the menu be limited. It has been wonderful to eat at a vegetarian venue and I am very sad to hear of the closure. There have been ups and downs over the years and I'm just hoping that for Birmingham's sake someone will come to the rescue. Vegetarianism and Veganism are in vogue so what's the problem?

Lovely..new staff ..food was fab Well done everyone x

Afternoon tea was delicious, nice atmosphere. Will return however be careful walking on the polished wooden floor. It's a slip hazard. Apparently I've been informed that it's been known for a slippy floor. Just be careful!

A real gem of a place situated 15 minutes from Shakespeare country. The ambiance is luxurious from reception to departure. If you’re travelling north to south or east to west - stop off here. The rooms are gorgeous and bathrooms like a personal spa, bright and beautiful and you will get towel envy. Staff can’t do enough for you and the bar is a perfect ‘snug’. Wine buffs will love it and the food is also excellent try Grannies crumble and the breakfast is as good as you’ll find. Dog friendly , EV friendly and ever so human friendly. You won’t want to leave……

Super contemporary British soundtrack combined with a traditional vibe.

First time visit, cracking pub , myself and the wife had the plum porter, lovely, will definitely visit again
