The best restaurants serving British food in St Johns Bromsgrove West Midlands

As a truck driver, I use cafes all around the UK and beyond. I have to say that Big Daves is definitely my favourite! The first thing you notice walking in is how spotlessly clean it is. Floor, walls, counter, everything is sparkling. Dave and his wife are a lovely couple who always make you feel welcome. It's always busy with local people eating in or grabbing a takeout, which is always a sign of a good cafe. That said, you never have to wait too long for your food. There is a wider menu, but I've only ever been for the full English breakfast, which is fantastic! Really good quality food. I recommend this cafe highly.

We had booked the inflatable aqua park for a football team's end of season celebration. Decided to book the Boat Shack for food afterwards. Communication with Nick via email was excellent. They reserved us a covered seating area by the water park and allowed us to change our order multiple times on the day without feeling like we were being a pain for doing so. Ordered sausages/burgers, chips and drink meals. Ali produced adequate amount of food for all the growing 11 year olds. Great value for money. The parties run like a well-oiled machine and the way they work with Aztec Adventure is great. We will certainly be back, maybe a repeat performance next year!

Great little cafe, always enjoy the door step sandwiches here after a nice walk with the dog. Good service, friendly staff and lovely food every time 😊

The cafe is closed, this is now just a petrol station with a garage forecourt. Lorry park still open, charges £20 to park on a litter strewn yard, no showers and only one toilet in the garage which was dirty and had no paper when I called there. Owner rude and arrogant. Avoid unless you're absolutely desperate. There is space for a good thirty trucks there , there were about six when I visited which tells you everything you need to know.

Dont know what happened today. Food so bad roast beef sunday lunch so poor. Didnt even taste like beef. Ive written this honest review because we have had many good sunday roasts this was awful. Cold veg soogy yorkshire puds. Dismal. Sort out the quality of the meat or you will loose business.

The Sunday roast beef lunch was so small we thought it was a child's portion. 3 very small paper thin slices of bought in slice beef from the supermarket if it weighted 3oz you would be lucky. The plate arrived with Yorkshire pudding hiding the slices with the gravey on it but we then waited for the veg by which time all had gone cold. This was a complete Faulty tower. You couldn't make it up. Will certainly not be going back. And £18 for a cheap bottle of wine. NOT A PLACE TO VISIT.

Arrived just after 8pm to be told we couldn't have a table even though the kitchen closes at 9pm as there was a large table in. Staff were very abrupt in telling us this. Even though the person in front of us was served. Very poor for a restaurant not to be able to cope with a large table as well as other guests. If it was the case that there would have been a wait on food, we should have been advised of not just point blank refused.

One of the better spoons we've visited. Friendly staff and a nicely cooked breakfast, would certainly recommend and return

This place is extremely busy however when we walked in a lovely young man welcomed us took us over to a table as there was a few of us. Drinks ordered and they were quite reasonable prices. The food was stunning. We did have to wait a little bit longer than normal but we didn’t mind as they were extremely busy. The food was piping hot. The service was very nice and served with a smile. Can’t get better than that..
