The best restaurants serving British food in Solihull West Midlands

We stoped by here for a bite to eat. Quite a small branch, but that was fine as we were the only people in there. We ordered some Falafels, and they were cooked to order and didn't take to long at all. Falafels were hot, and tasty.

Tucked away but quite close to city centre this is a cosy little venue with live music and great home brewed beer! Did not eat but the food menu (snacks) looked tempting'

Took my grandchildren today to the santas grotto & we saw the real deal farther Christmas 🎅 & he was amazing with the boys & took time to talk with them. staff & the elf’s were magical 🧙 too. It’s so worth a visit.

Friday 27th September 2024. My husband’s cousin Roger and his wife Janine came to visit us in Birmingham and go to lunch. We went to ‘McKee’s Brassiere’ at Haig’s Hotel in Balsall Common. We arrived for 1.00 pm and were shown to a nice table for four in the restaurant by Jeanette. The restaurant itself is light, bright and airy with a lovely dining area, where we were seated on this bright sunny afternoon. The place was lovely and the staff were bright and welcoming especially Coleby who waited on us and was very professional in everything she did for us. We had the three course set lunch menu, which was very good value. We had an amuse bouche of tomato soup served with home-made bread, which was really warming and nice, a good beginning for our lovely meal. We had starters; My husband had haddock and trout pate served with Melba toast and butter. Roger had the cheese tart served with chutney. Janine had the watermelon, feta, pomegranate and pecan nut salad, which she said was delicious. I had the chicken liver pate with cranberry apple chutney and served with Melba toast, which was really delicious. The starters were just the perfect size to get the palate started. For our main courses: Janine and My husband had the Chicken Ballotine, chicken breast filled with chives, leeks and pancetta. Served with coarse grain mustard sauce and a stuffed cabbage parcel filled with potato which was served with a dish of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and roast potatoes), which he both said was delicious. The chicken just melted in the mouth. Roger and I had the Vegetable Wellington filled with camembert, beetroot and spinach with a sweet potato and mushroom sauce, which was served with a dish of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and roast potatoes, which we both thought was delicious. The dishes arrived together and were very hot and very well presented. We washed all this lovely food down with sparkling spring water for Roger and Janine. A pint of ‘Doombar’ bitter for my husband and a nice large glass of rose wine for me. We all had desserts: My husband had the apple crumble with creamy custard. Roger had the lemon posset with berries, which he said was delicious. Janine and I had the Chocolate Marquise with cappuccino ice cream, which was really delicious and it was lovely and light and the perfect finish to our meals. We had tea and coffees afterwards; My husband had a pot of tea. Roger had black coffee. Janine and I had a de-caffeinated coffee with milk, these came with a selection of petite fours, which were a nice finish to our lovely meal. Afterwards we all felt well fed and content.

Friendly service, very well executed food without pretension in a nice atmosphere setting. Beef entrecôte was buttery soft and superb flavour, hope to go back when in area.

Really good food and drink from seasonal menu options. Excellent service in comfortable dining area.

never disappoints, ever - especially on those special, happy or sad, occasions - today was as sad as can be: but you did our beloved Rose (and Robert) proud. Thank you 💛

Nice lunch today, fairly busy but nice atmosphere. Kirsty looked after us and made sure we were happy. The meat was plentiful and it was a lovely way to warm up on a cold afternoon

Dog friendly and family friendly pub. Typical pub food and reasonably priced. Staff attentive and happy to help. High chairs available.

I went into Nelson’s fish and chip shop last night with my young daughter. I ordered a large doner meat and chips in a tray with the intentions of sharing it with my daughter. I asked for sauce however due to my daughter having an allergy I asked if they could wrap up a small amount separately. I was told no. I explained politely that I didn’t want an extra portion I just wanted a small amount of the portion I had paid for, wrapped up separately. The blonde man who I have since been told is a manager/owner was so rude and refused. Myself and my daughter left without any food and my daughter was very upset and hungry at this point when the manager smiled and sarcastically shouted “have a nice night” as we left. I have worked in hospitality for 15 years and I have never treated a customer this way nor have I ever been treated this way before. I will never return to Nelson’s fish bar and I will advise everyone in the area to avoid due to the rude staff. Also as I walked into the establishment I smiled at the blonde man who decided returning a smile was too hard. All I can say is I hope you are happy with yourself for not accommodating to my daughter’s allergies and left a 9 year old girl hungry and upset. I have been told in the past about the terrible customer service here and unfortunately I had to learn this the hard way myself. DO NOT USE - over priced and rude staff

Extremely rude and full of ego owner (Rob), very dismissive and defensive chef, he wouldn't take any criticism, very unprofessional! My girlfriend and I had an awful experience, ordered drinks and then food took ages apparently to blame his staff being more worried about checking their mobile phones than looking after the customers, food arrived late and after complaining to the staff then Rob himself came over to our table with the most appalling of confidence to tell us that his restaurant was a fine dining michelin starred chef place looking at us with anger. Do yourself a favour and get counselling on ego behaviour. Will definitely not return and will not recommend to anyone. Appalling.

Great little treasure of a venue in a picturesque village. Intimate atmosphere- dogs and child friendly. Fantastic food and service Great value and it’s good to support small family businesses

¡Adelante! Un menú compacto que tiene clásicos y nuevos giros en la partitura del sándwich. El bocadillo de mermelada estaba en su punto y el bocadillo de aguacate y jamón serrano estaba bien racionada y deliciosa. Claramente ingredientes de calidad utilizados y no eran tacaños con ellos. Buen café sabroso. En resumen, uno de los mejores almuerzos que he tenido en mucho tiempo. ¡Vete!
