The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Had a lovely meal with my son last night. Everything was great, food, service,wait times. The staff where so welcoming and friendly. The place is clean and tidy. The manager is running around and not just sat watching. The food is great value for money and will be 100% returning.

visited here for lunch , food was lovely .I had fish and chips(very tasty) the only slight complaint is that the paper underneath the food, started to disintegrate, and I very nearly ate some). We loved the little signs that you can put on your table while you're at the till, Brilliant idea! we then mooched around the Xmas items,and bought some fabulous bits and pieces

Great food and service. They catered for a party of 10 for a Sunday dinner. Food was pre-ordered and we didn’t have to wait long for the food to arrive. All good quality, good portions and well priced. Staff were amazing, especially as one of us had some dietary requirements and they dealt with this no problem, which made her day - thanks to Brett for sorting this out. Puddings were also lovely. Would recommend and come back again

England's Gate is a traditional British Pub and should be proud that it lives up such expectations. The food and the service was excellent. My wife had a steak which was very good. I had the steak and ale pie which was exceptional (especially for those who wish to have some comfort food occasionally . Pity more is not made of the 'pie of the day' as it was obviously hand crafted and had a very generous filling of tender and tasty steak. I was a little unsure of what I would get when ordering as the description and lead me to believe it might be 'brought in'. Top marks when it arrived and looked and tasted great. This (and perhaps other great items on the menu) should be heralded as a special dish (as it clearly was) . Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to go back and sample the food and atmosphere again. Super place, well above average food.

My partner and I have been here for drinks a few times and I would highly recommend this place for drinks. It has a cosy country garden feel and just a few yards away from a beautiful river. However this is the second time we have had food and this visit took the biscuit for bad food and rude, unwelcome service! The middle aged bar lady has the customer service skills of a spoon. Considering her age you would think that she could’ve racked up a few years in hospitality however she should check her face as any experience doesn’t match it. We asked for food menus and ordered two fish and chips. I asked for olives as a starter and was told rather bluntly ‘we aren’t serving starters’ and also ‘you cant sit in the beer garden either’. We hadn’t decided where to sit yet but on leaving the pub the beer garden was approximately 30cm away so i’m not sure what the problem was. Maybe the waitress had a wooden leg. I politely asked if ‘no starters’ includes the olives - as I could’ve waited at the bar for a bowl of them to take away - but was flatly told ‘no’. The guardian of the olives had refused freedom of the olives for one day. After ordering we were told (again, bluntly) that the food would have an extra 10 minutes waiting time on-top of cooking because there were other people to serve first. Having worked in a kitchen myself I understand, however there were only two other couples in the whole vicinity so i’m not sure why the wait was so long - maybe the cook had to go down to the river to catch the fish on a spear or something. At this point we noticed my partners bottled cider was warm. In hindsight the fridge lights weren’t on so maybe the electricity meter had run out of change. The food arrived half an hour later and the fish was soggy, the chips were undercooked and the onion rings undercooked in loads of greasy batter. We diddn’t want to complain incase the miserable spoon held us captive in her olive prison.

Terrible quality of produce, dry, unappetising, expensive, miserable staff. Always been the same I gave it another chance and was disappointed again - I don’t know how it remains open. Absolutely atrocious

We visited this pub for dinner having read previous reviews of the food. Unfortunately this pub no longer serves food..

The staff was great and the food and drinks was amazing also it’s a good place for party’s and any type of events.The caravy is outstanding

Fabulous service - Catherine served us and was so kind and patient with an elderly member of my family who took a while deciding what to have and asked for changes to a part of the meal. She never once made it seem too much trouble and this family member has telephoned me this evening to say how much they enjoyed their visit to Nottcutts - especially the lunch! A big thank you to Catherine - our experience made us feel like we had been to somewhere especially nice (food was good too!) Highly recommended!

the food was great and the lady chef was very helpful. Its not often someone can cook a blue steak correctly but it was perfect. She even came out personally to make sure it was to our liking. it was my daughters 13th birthday and the young lady who server us sang happy birthday. There were 11 of us and we had to order separate but the food still all came out together and in a timely manor. food and service was fab.

Beautiful food. Very tasty. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. very cosy. Great staff.. Will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊

We had a lovely night away in this beautiful hotel, with an extremely comfortable bed in a room in the main house. We had drinks in the bar before exploring the gorgeous gardens and meeting Charlie the kitten amongst the roses. Our evening meal was wonderful. We were offered complimentary Prosecco each (it was our fortieth wedding anniversary) and we started with homemade sourdough and pate which was delicious. For the mains, I chose the lamb which fell apart under my fork and my husband chose the chicken which was moist and delicious. Breakfast was equally fabulous, with a choice of cereals/juices/toast and we had the full English - one with poached egg and one with scrambled - all cooked to perfection. Great place, great food, great service from lovely, helpful and smiley staff - we will return…

Unfortunately it was too late to get something to eat so can't say what the food is like. What we did receive was a 1st class reception from friendly staff. The place is absolutely spotless and has a great atmosphere, would recommend this place to anyone.

El mejor pescado y papas fritas sin gluten de la zona. Siempre llamamos aquí cuando estamos en Stratford - upon - Avon. Nunca decepciona

Website has a full & comprehensive list of cocktails to choose from. Downside is that bar staff do not know/understand their cocktail offer. Ordered Long Island iced tea, which initially bar staff did not understand and another bar person stepped in & said he'd have a go at making one! It was the worst Long Island Iced tea that we've ever had. Vey disappointing
