The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Absolutely fantastic relaxed pub. They catered for our sons Baptism and we all had a lovely time. Everyone was super helpful and friendly and the kids loved the play area and the goats! The food was amazing! Highly recommend!

Come here often, the food is always good, with plenty of parking, friendly staff and good atmosphere, the food deals are great. Especially the 2 meals for £15. I had rump steak and my wife gammon both excellent. Definitely recommend

I have been popping into the Abbey for a pint and the odd meal for the last 25 years and have seen it go through many incarnations and owners. It has a great reputation for its large selection of beers and this visit was not a disappointment excellent. Now to the food review hmmm where shall I start? Food is about passion love fun and encouraging conversation what we were served was food with the cook's attitude all over it. My meal stared up at me and it looked grim the last time I had a meal this bad was at a Hong Kong street food market and what was dished up was still smiling at me. I think a conversation with the Kitchen staff would not be a miss. Standards have slipped for all the cheap offers and fancy menu it means nothing when served something that would have caused a riot in a prison. Marks out of 10, 0 must try harder.

We love this pub.Staff are brilliant and make you feel very welcome. My wife and I had Sunday lunch.Plenty of choice on the menu and food was delicious. I’m a big eater but didn’t have room for a pudding 😂. Staff were attentive and very efficient. All in all a great experience we will definitely return. Thank you

It seems unreal that this place has only got a 3.5 rating. We live nearby, have visited for the past 20 years plus and have never had anything less than superb food. During covid lockdown the place became a bit of a tonic for us, driving up to collect excellent takeaways. We are lucky to have it on our doorstep.

Went for my daughters birthday. The food is lovely and the staff r so friendly. Been here a few times b4 always had a good time and a beautiful meal. The waiter Aaron was nice couldnt do enough for us. And luke behind the bar was friendly aswell.

Bottomless brunch was fantastic! Delicious food and the cocktails just kept coming! Courtney and Amber were our hostesses and were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend, value for money is an absolute understatement! Don’t miss out!!

Not just a beautiful place to eat, but the food was top notch, as in cooed to perfection, presented well and served with a smile. Even the local clientele were very friendly and welcoming. We were greeted with a happy attitude, which settled us down for a great lunch. It was a Tuesday lunchtime, and just became busier throughout our stay, so booked early. I'm 71 and have to say it has been one of my best lunchtime experiences. It is also an historical place. Nice location by the river, room outside for dogs and even humans. Thank you to both of the staff in attendance.

I am a regular recently here at the white swan , the food is excellent from morning to to the evening, the staff are friendly at all levels , always polite and welcoming , I have never seen a pub cleaned within an inch of its life every day by the early morning cleaners , keep up the good work , highly recommend a visit ,, great prices to especially the ale

First visit Busy friendly welcoming Great value and service will definitely return Lovely menu with lots of good value choices

Ashamed to have taken our American visitors there! Our friend had got caught in motorway traffic and was running late. We rang to apologise and they said it was still ok to come. When we got there at 3.45 pm we were met with not “hello or welcome” but a scowling waitress whose greeting was “You’re too late, we shut at 5 pm”! Rude and unwelcoming staff. And then our scowling waitress informed us there was no decaffeinated tea!!! In this day and age!!!! I was going to offer to nip to Tesco’s a get some, but in reality I wanted to get out of there asap as the afternoon tea had door-stop sized sandwiches with dry, unimaginative fillings and only a choice of scones, scones, and two of the tiniest Little pastries. I will not be returning!

Great service and tasty food. Pleasant staff too.

Popped into the Riverside Venue for dinner. We had the bass and slow cooked beef. Both were excellent. We've yet to have a dodgy meal at the Riverside.

Sadly turned away as it was 5 minutes before they closed and they said the friers were turned off. Poor customer service

We visited Arrow Mill recently and were 5 of us for Sunday lunch. The food was very poor. Overcooked, undercooked and the meat was tough. We were not asked how things were and no one liked to make a fuss in front of others but I think you should be very selective about your choice. Great venue spoilt by the food quality and attention to detail by the staff.
