The best restaurants serving British food in Birmingham West Midlands

Ate here over the weekend, food and service always good but at bit slow this time. It's a really nice spot for a relaxing lunch/dinner

Ok, I frequently visit this venue sometimes more than twice a week and every single time we order drinks the Gin glasses have the remains of the lipstick and grime from the last person's lips from the night before. Today, we ordered a Gin and what do you know, the glass had red lipstick on it, we immediately told the server that the glass had lipstick on it and if we could have a fresh glass perhaps one with no residue off another person on it. She almost snatched the glass off us, cut her eye and walked off in a huff. What she didn't realise is one of our party members went to get a hot drink from the machine which is located close to the bar area where the large server went to exchanged the glass and over heard the large one, moaning and laughing about the fact that we asked for the glass to be exchanged and she was quite frankly trying to take the mick, she wiped the dirty glass with a tissue and started laughing with her colleague, the member of our party that was at the hot drinks machine said excuse me ill take that if you don't mind and the big one almost crapped her knickers not realising she got caught out and she went red faced. Anyway we never finished the drink as who in the right mind would drink from a glass with someone else's germs on it? Would you drink from a glass or eat with cutlery that still has food remains on it from a stranger? That is the most disgusting thing ever! The server girl must think its fine to accept a dirty glass and drink from it, tbf by the looks of her it wouldn't surprise me, I can only imagine what her own home is like or what her hygiene is like. So to round this up, beware of the dirty glasses, also the cutlery is nearly always dirty aswel and we have to either ask for cleaner ones or clean them ourselves, but be prepared to get a dirty look when you call them out about their glasses as most can't be bothered to walk back to the bar and back to the table maybe due to lack of energy and motivation? Perhaps on weekends Wetherspoons can employ staff with some manners, respect, decency and with some enthusiasm, serving with a moody face is not what customers want to see when spending money at an establishment like Wetherspoons, but then again this is not the only Wetherspoons where this kind of staff work. There seems to be a common theme happening recently within this company, oh and the new gourmet burgers are not good at all. The grilled food was much better, Wetherspoons is going backwards with their new menu, shame really. Only thing they have going for them is the price of their drinks, when you get a clean glass that is.

Clearly a good fish and chip shop, given the queue of people waiting to be served! We chose to eat in the small restaurant area at the back. Not long to wait for our fish and chips, which were perfect!

Å spoons is a spoons is a spoons. The food is wonderful, the staff polite and helpful (even when I asked for stuff that was on display but not set up on the system, they really tried)

Used to be a great place but getting quieter now

Fantastic staff , beautiful pint and the freshest carvery I’ve had in a long time , i Normally go swan Coalshill , but I will be going to Sheldon hall from now on , beautiful meal , thank you for a great experience, my son and I had a wonderful meal thank you.

Me and my partner usually use the Billesley for food but tonight I brought couple of friends out for some drinks, Great atmosphere… love football, Great drinks offers on too. Looks like they have some good entertainment coming up too

Came here for the second time in my life. The first time was lovely but this time was exceptional! We ordered nachos Grande and the crown of burgers. There weren't many nachos but loads of sauces so I asked the server Kelly if she would ask the kitchen if I could have a couple more. She said she would ask but it might be a no. To my delight, Kelly came back with a small plate of nachos! I was so so pleased, it was the perfect amount to finish off all the dips I had left in the bowl. Hats off to the chefs and the waitress, they didn't have to give me any more but they did. And to add, when Kelly brought out the second lot of nachos, they were freshly cooked, nice and warm and crispy!! Absolute 10 out of 10, brilliant service and food. See you again soon, thank you!!

Beautiful period surroundings , let down by low standards of everything else ! Coffee's were not sufficiently hot enough , & on complaining a waitress seemed somewhat puzzled as to how best to remedy the situation ! The food offerings faired worse , after ordering 'fish-finger' sandwiches , we were dismayed to find , the fish-finger ultra slim (approx 1/4 inch) with a 'dark' filling , on canteen style bread (pre-packed sliced ) , a reasonably tasty salad & tartare sauce accompanied ! I presented these facts to 'the manager' , he laughed & said , well you have eaten it all ! I replied I didn't say it was inedible , but very sub-standard, after trying to appease with 'cakes' I accepted a 50% reduction ! All in all our worst dining experience !

This is a pleasant place but the food is overpriced and inconsistent. Home cooked cottage pie was sparse in meat and the gravy was like water. The steak and onion pie was bland and the pastry like concrete. Breakfast items are a better offer so I will stick to those in future. It was an expensive lesson. Better food and value elsewhere. Staff are lovely and the on-site shop is a treat but cafe food does not reflect the home grown angle they are promoting.

Muy bueno Buen precio Buen menú Problemas de estacionamiento pero vale la pena Fui con amigos para una reunión, no puedo culparlos de una manera razonable

Una noche en el teatro Rep para ver Un villancico de Navidad, fue una excelente producción muy profesional, bien vale la pena la visita.

First time visiting today for lunch. Arrived at 1pm, and it was nice and quiet. Food was delicious and service was great. Will be visiting again.

I’m not sure if it was the time I visited, but the mini fish was rubber. Avoid the fish if you’re going.

Today, the fish was very hard and dry, like it was leftovers from earlier. Chips were fresh. 1st time using takeaway, if I went to the chippie myself I wouldn't of had that piece of fish. So not sure about takeaway food now.
