The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Lovely food and an amazing atmosphere. I had great service off Anna and Jodie on the bar! Couldn’t have had a better experience do recommend

We came to Bishops Castle on the first night of our walking/hiking holiday. As the locals likely know (we didn't) shops and hours can be limited on Wednesdays. We arrived a bit before dinner service began, but ordered local draft beers and crisps to tide us over until dinner. The pub is the quality and cleanliness I would expect of a place of its age. The staff helped us when we needed anything. We ordered dinner and the food was good and portions were large. I would come back if I was in the area again.

Visited today on my Birthday and we were warmly greeted by friendly staff. Cosy and olde worlde inside we could sit where we wanted. Good choice on menu - I opted for halloumi souvlaki which was delicious and my husband ordered the chicken and chorizo casserole served with rice which he thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend here and will return when next in Ludlow.

Defensive manager does not value feedback! This place will therefore not improve. We visited the restaurant as believed it to be part of a good quality complex. Our arrival was greeted cheerfully and we were shown to a 2 seater table. That’s where any notion of customer service ended. My partner went up to the counter to order a starter and 2 meals…. Our drinks arrive promptly. …tick tick… 20 minutes go by. People who arrived after us start getting their meals… …tick tick… I go over and ask what’s happening. I’m told “It’s busy“ …tick tick… I ask again. “It’s busy.” More people who have subsequently come in are served. Eventually the manager (who I saw looking at tickets behind the kitchen) came over with our mains. No starter of soup. What followed was incredible! She insisted that the cock up was our fault! Apparently, the lack of soup was because she could not possibly know what was ordered, what should be a starter and how many people were at each table. That excuse would work in a service station, but we are talking about a place that charges handsome price’s commensurate with table service - but with no table service. We will never go back.

My wife and friends decided to go and watch a group called the Colour six in the bar Friday 13th and must say what a fantastic group they was, Well done Sally the manager, staff was on the ball as always, Just goes to show The Billesley pub is not just about food, but also entertainment, Quiz nights have now started on a Sunday night's, Keep up the good work all.

First time back in a while and it is very much improved, will definitely be back, it was a pleasure and 9 of us had great food and pudding

Pleasant and efficient service. Good value food with plenty of variety on the menu and a well stocked bar. Also dog friendly.

Super breakfast, well cooked. Staff very helpful. Highly recommend. Perfect poached eggs, crispy bacon. We had the eggs with toast and able to add sausage. Also a full breakfast. The chefs special breakfast black pudding with eggs is a brilliant combination.

Our first visit to Oxon Priory. We had a warm welcome from Dawn & Holly. Food was piping hot and very tasty. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to family & friends.

Booked a table Booking reference: DMN-16880455201 with friends, nobody welcomes you as you arrive, having to wait at the bar from other customers to get served before you can get seated. Realising at the table you order food on the App... App Wasn't letting most of the grill items to be selected therefore had to go back to the bar again waiting for over 15 minutes for bar staff, we decided to leave as nobody seems interested in serving food only selling drinks. Such a shame as last time we came gave a 5 star review. Looks like a drinking venue now and not an eating venue.

Excellent service from Tiff, great atmosphere and excellent food! Will be coming back soon! Children's area is excellent too

We visited for dinner there was 10 of us we were all very happy with the food and the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly, toilets were spotless and smelt lovely, generally a lovely tradition pub with polite friendly staff

Popped in today as haven't been for years. The lady serving on bar/restaurant was lovely and friendly. Very welcoming. Food came quickly and was full of flavour. Small issue with the order but was rectified straight away. The only thing was that I found the dining area a little chilly. But we had a wonderful lunch date and really enjoyed our meal. We will be back

We had a lovely meal and were well looked after by Jelena and Nat. The ale was very nice too. Definitely coming back. We took advantage of an online promotion which gave us two meals fir £20.

Eaten here many times now, never once had a bad meal or experience. The last time I took my young daughter for breakfast, (had The Medicine, obviously! Full english with a twist, can’t fault it). Every meal I’ve had always tastes great but always fills you up, you get a lot for your money. The staff are always friendly and know their stuff when it comes to questions about items on the menu. The staff come across as family orientated too, interacting with and talking to the little one while taking orders or walking past. Demi especially always has a smile on her face and has always been happy to help when I’ve been in and she is there. Great atmosphere and always seems to be busy…which speaks for itself - it’s because it’s good. The pastries and cakes are phenomenal and the coffee beats any other ‘high street’ coffee shop. Would recommend you give this little gem a shot when you’re next passing. There’s nowhere else like it.
