The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Fantastic pub, with polite, friendly staff, decent atmosphere and drinks, food although only had small plates was cooked just right,would highly recommend

We called to see if they could accommodate us with a table for 10, it was a last minute thing as we had just walked out of another restaurant after waiting 2 hours for a table we gad ore booked. I must say they were exceptional, really helpful, friendly and welcoming, the food was outstanding staff were really friendly and really made you feel at home, great atmosphere and surroundings, would really recommend The Royal Forester, a hidden gem

I wont go into detail simply because the list is to long. All i can say is food over priced, poor service and definitely not with a smile. Will never go back.

We had not been to The Wheel for quite a while so decided to walk up and have tea. This is a lovely, old school traditional pub. The food was really good. The menu is exactly as you'd expect from a decent pub. Nothing fancy, no pages and pages to read through so you can't see the wood for the trees, just a good menu of real food at excellent prices. My husband had the lamb shank in red wine special and I had scampi. Portions were a good size and we both really enjoyed it. As it is such excellent value I am sure we will be back.

We booked for Sunday lunch for my parents birthday as treat. It didn't start well with starters coming and then we had to ask for our drinks which we had ordered. Starter were excellent and we all had various starter from crispy paneer , scallops and soup which all went down well. Unfortunately we all ordered the roast sirloin and I've never experienced such shocking meat. All our sirloin was covered with gristle and inedible and it was shocking and disgusting that this ever left the kitchen . It appeared that no thought to the paying customer was even considered. I wouldn't give this to my dog. We complained as we couldn't eat this and we had a totally different experience in the next lot with sirloin so tender and no gristle. Unfortunately it spoiled the occasion which we was looking forward to and we couldn't wait to leave. Who ever runs the kitchen really needs to look at the crap they send out . unfortunately with the grandest of places there are unscrupulous people who want to cheat the public instead of giving people quality that reflects the price that we have to pay. I wouldn't touch this place again!

Stayed for two nights with a group of car enthusiast. And a great weekend it was thanks to Dan and his staff. Excellent location, good accommodation, relaxed atmosphere, catered for all changes that you get from a mix of 20 people and excellent food for everyone served efficiently. Many of our group have asked to come back next year. It was a 5 Star stay but: I so wanted to give the hotel 5 Stars but the pre-booking and customer contact services are woeful. Various people in the group contacted the hotel with queries and changes and were regularly faced with answerphone messages which were not responded to. We had one couple wanted to stay an extra night and could not raise anyone to make the booking. One couple had to cancel but could not get anyone to pick up the phone or respond to messages. If a manager/owner reads this, your excellent staff deserve better than this. They all worked so hard to make our stay so enjoyable but there jobs are at risk if you cannot sort out your customer contact services at the front end.

Havent been to the bradford arms for a couple off years, but pleasantly surprised with the quality off the food today, look forward to returning

Saturday 8th July. Had planned a trip especially from north wales. Always been on my bucket list. Checked website and Facebook page. Sorry to hear about the break in. Information stated should be open again 6th or 7th July. Tried to phone before visit to check if open. No answer. Should've been open 8th but no updates or information. Arrived at 12:15. Five cars parked by locked gate. Nobody knew What was happening. Walked down the lane. Fantastic house. Unfortunatly we had a wasted trip. Blackboard outside 'closed until further notice' people arriving after us who we informed they were closed. Had we known we wouldn't have wasted a journey.

Went to see a band. Band were cancelled as they couldn't afford to pay them. 2 people on a Saturday night. Band have a following. No wonder pubs are closing down with people like that running them

The manager is rude and arrogant- will never visit the Royal Oak again No wonder pubs can’t keep customers ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Ridiculously overpriced & tastes worse than a Toby Carvery. I was expecting high end food, beens as they have beans on toast on the menu for £9.95!!!!!!! The potatoes were hard & tasted frozen, the pork was full of grissle, and the parsnip may aswell have been a stick of chalk. It would have also been nice to have cutlery before all meals were served… which we had to ask for 3 times. On the up, the gravy and mash was nice. But that’s about all I ate. Over £130 spent and the majority of it went home for the dogs dinner.

Unfortunately my pint was spilt by a wobbly table, the team argued with me that the table was wobbly but not enough to spill a pint. Now I am without a pint and still a wobbly table exists. The customer service is awful. I got told to pay for pint even though it wasn’t my fault. I then got started on by a bunch of men for trying to argue my point from my point of view and they were very confrontational. As a result I nearly got beaten up. I will not be going back as I do not feel comfortable or safe with the place.

Had the carvery, it was nice, but unfortunately no cauliflower cheese left which for us is a must with a roast. Staff were nice but not very organised, seems to lack a good figure head, for instance a table full of glasses were just walked passed a number of times. On leaving a staff member cutting the meat was stood outside puffing on a cigarette not nice to see, at least smoke in a discreet location .

Really good food. Fresh dough is amazing to see. Alot of places use frozen and prerolled and you can taste the difference 😘👌

Used to be a regular and go at least once to twice a month grab a coffee and something to eat, sit outside as the atmosphere was great in summer then they changed the seating to make a more service style restaurant outside went there a few times but the food was expensive and the coffee arrived cold and after you had you meal it felt like you were no longer welcome it was much better before they changed it - I haven’t had the heart to go back
