The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Met my friends and sat at the bar with the managers and we had good chat. I was drinking Bank's beer and it was very good. The bar was kept open (within the lawful time), to accommodate my friend arriving late from work, Gilly the bar manager will do this if he knows that a late comer is to visit. I will visit again.

We had never been here before but the pub was a great find. The staff were really friendly and were very helpful. The is a good selection of drinks and they are resonably priced. You could definitely book for an occasion as it is much bigger than it appears. Lovely pub.

This is no longer a Tea Room. It is a private residence. Trip Advisor don't seem to want to change the details!

ITS NOT CLOSED! Visited the cafe after completing a walk along the Railway Walk to Awbridge. It’s had an upgrade and the Harry Potter theme has been replaced with some attractive refurbishment. Great food and pleasant service.

We always have their speciality toast. My husband thinks that the toasted fruit bread is the best toast ever but I must disagree. The sourdough cheese and onion is perfection.

We were staying at the premier inn next door and we love our local beefeater and this place definitely maintained the high standards we like. Margaret was our server for breakfast and dinner and she was a complete star. She sorted my slightly off menu order with the chef no bother at all. She and all the staff were so friendly and helpful, great food and great service what more can you ask.

Not a restaurant. Arena with Good views from all seats and good level of facilities. However, small seats with short leg room so you squashed from the side and poked in the back for whole event. Seats hard so numb bum after 30 minutes. Limited entrances and exits from car park we were allocated to ,so long queues but fortunately we had taken a picnic to eat whilst waiting. Won't be my first choice for a future event.

We decided to spend a couple of days exploring gardens in the area that are open to the public. Goldstone Hall Hotel has one such, so it was the obvious place to spend the night. Their ornamental garden is really nice with an impressive herbaceous border. But the stand-out is the large kitchen garden which has its own dedicated gardener looking after it and she is able to supply much of the seasonal fruit and veg for the restaurant. This is mainly intended as a food review but our room is worthy of mention. It was one of the cheaper “Garden Rooms” which does overlook the garden.. Access to the four Garden Rooms is through what can only be described as a junk room – full of old sofas, heaps of old cushions, stacks of crockery, logs and other “stuff”. It really makes a bad first impression. The room itself was generally fine, although with minimal storage for clothes, even the small amount we’d brought for our one night stay. But it was a nice touch for there to be a bunch of grapes and a vase full of dahlias - both from the garden. We looked over dinner menus while sipping an aperitif on the terrace. It was one of those rare days this summer when it was warm enough to do that. Drinks came with house made lemon thyme crisps. It was the first example of the kitchen garden produce finding its way to the restaurant. It’s a short menu with five choices at each course. It’s the sort of food where I can imagine a competent home cook thinking “I could do that at home on a really good day” – but they probably couldn’t. Once in the dining room, there were a couple of snacks – a tangy blue cheese beignet and a disc of beetroot, topped with a tiny amount of maybe smoked fish. Beetroot also featured in one of the starters. A strip of shortcrust pastry, topped with a Shropshire Blue cheese mousse, pickled beetroot chunks and a couple of leaves of sorrel. The other starter saw shredded ham hock, served warm, with a scattering of lentils, shallot and a tang from English mustard. Cod was just cooked through for one of the main courses. There’s braised wild rice. And the kitchen had made the effort to skin broad beans from the garden so there was a really nice contrasting green on the plate. The sauce came from crème fraiche, given a zing from horseradish. Pork fillet had been stuffed with sage and Shrewsbury Fretta cheese (yes, it’s a feta lookalike) and could have stood more of both. There’s mixed greens and a Madeira sauce bringing it all together. There was a dish of potato dauphinoise to share, made from Yukon Gold spuds grown in the garden – I think the first time I’ve seen this North American potato in a restaurant here. There’s another bowl of courgettes which had a herby hint – maybe tarragon. We both went with the same dessert. An absolutely lovely berry soufflé, accompanied by a woodruff ice cream. The latter is one of many herbs growing in the kitchen garden. This one wasn’t really to our taste, seeming a bit “medicinal”. We finished with decent espresso, served in the lounge, along with a couple of petit fours. Breakfast was really nice. Fresh fruit and yoghurt was laid out so you could help yourself – amongst the offerings, figs and blackberries came from the garden. Orange juice was top quality and there was a choice of teas for one of us who likes tea. Cafetiere coffee was good. Orders were taken for cooked food. There is , of course, a “Full English” and a “Full Vegetarian” but we both decided to go with the local speciality – Staffordshire oatcakes, filled with a tangy cheddar and bacon. Toast was offered but we were full by then. So, all in all, a good stay. And dinner in the restaurant passed our “travelling test” – if this was local to home, would we become regulars.

Very poor meal, Ham salad looked like someone put a bag of lettuce from the supermarket and a bit of very cheap ham. Bread roll inedible. When I mentioned to server, got a blank look and “do you want another roll” No I wanted a decent ham salad. Clearly no qualified chef or staff with any responsibility. Don’t bother eating here. Waste of money.

My family and I came here for a light lunch and beverage and it didn't disappoint. The place was clean, staff very welcoming and friendly and the food and drinks were great and brilliant value for money. The fact it was also dog friendly was even more of a bonus for us. We would highly recommend.

Superb!!!,,Fresh ,Tasty,Good Portions,They now do a Meal deal Special at Lunch.Very Clean,.When Staff get know you they have a lil Chat ,and a Lot of Regulars go there,Highly Recommend!!!!!!!!

This is such a lovely and welcoming pub! The staff are incredible and the chef was fantastic. We came in after a lovely morning around Worcester looking for traditional pub food and that’s exactly what we found. The 9 of us were seated very easily and the services was quick and simple. The pricing is very reasonable and I would most definitely recommend this pub to other! I will definitely be coming back again soon!

Food was great service and communication from staff was excellent. Waitress helped us in making choices from the food and drinks menu

Superb crepe and croque monsieur today! Have often passed by and thought it looked nice but finally stopped! Was not disappointed! The waitress was polite and efficient and helped make the whole experience an enjoyable one! We will return!

Good service, good pub grub. Hayden & Ash were absolutely fab! Really welcoming and nothing was a problem at all. Great staff
