The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Have been visiting the DunCow for years and its reputation for food is hit and miss. The last visit was definitely a miss. The ‘Hunters Chicken’ was a very dry chicken burger with a slice of melted orange cheese, 2 rashers of bacon (they were tasty) and a teaspoon of dried on barbecue sauce, a pinch of leaves and 7 chips. I paid the bill and left there is no point in complaining it’s what you have to expect sometimes it’s lovely food other times it’s dire. I have been for breakfast before and it was lovely. The DunCow is always busy which is great very popular for a drink but for food try the Cinnamon Lounge or Green Man.

Absolutely loved the carvery we all did, great range of meats, vegetables and extras. Thank you for your amazing service also.

The place is amazing such an amazing location for weddings parties etc . We enjoyed every minute of our visit up from hythe Kent . The landlord is such a gent what more can I say just a must visit for everyone

Nat was great she works hard and makes sure you have all you need , would defo come here again and eat . Breakfast was lovely

Haven’t been here for years but called in on Friday night. We’d looked a recent reviews and some didn’t sound great, but we decided to try it. We didn’t have the set two course offer as they looked abit too basic, but opted for £15ish main courses. Thai chicken curry, sea bass, beef bourgineon, and the pan fried chicken were all decent portion and well presented. Decent quality food. Staff were pleasant enough too. Our only minus was the upholstery which was ripped and had taped repairs. I know management is newish so hopefully repairs are being planned, but this lets the place down. Otherwise decor is nice. We will call again.

Found this pub whilst on the hunt for some local boozers and places to eat which led to us visiting twice in one weekend. We had drinks on the Friday and then my partner booked us in for Sunday dinner. Whilst the place could do with a lick of paint and a bit of a refurb don’t let that put you off as the food was delish! He had a full roast dinner with all the meats and I had the veg option which was a leek and cheese bake. We both cleared our plates and although I wanted to try a pud my stomach wasn’t going to allow it. 100% going back and I can see this being a regular with the Sunday lunch!! Such a great find!!!!

We set out as a group of people from all over the country to meet as a reunion for most after 40 years . As soon as we approached the venue it was clean tidy and buzzing inside … entering it was busy and we thought it was going to be difficult to get food as a group … Jess K was extremely helpful and navigated us to a table made sure we were comfortable and the. Served us for the evening . Even assisted us with a group photo . Jess K was kind and helpful along with her colleagues as we new they were busy

This is a massive improvement on our last visit. The roast was delicious! I have to congratulate the back kitchen on the beef. At these prices it is always going to be on a budget but it was cooked to perfection, and tender and juicy. Just a comment on the veg, pleae dont mix old and new, it looks awful. Staff utterly professional and friendly and nice that they were flexible and allowed us to have two children's Ice Creams! Truth is, having ate large roasts, we would not have spent on a pudding had they not taken a common sense approach - so we spent another fiver on ice cream then stayed for two more coffees each. This place is quietly doing what Toby is sometimes failing to do - I wish you well and look forward to dropping in again.

As we don't live in the area, this is only our second visit here (first was several years ago) on a Sunday afternoon after visiting friends. We telephoned booked in advance, as Sundays lunchtimes can be busy! No need! Restaurant not busy at all - on a Sunday lunchtime!! Staff we greeted us were great - friendly and helpful. Sunday roast pork dinner - was okay, but not great. Coid plates (who puts hot food on to cold plates?). We payed extra for the cauliflower cheese - how youy make this without cheese is beyond me! Had 'thin' tecture of being a packet mix! Presentation was okay, but food (and gravy) lacked any depth of flavour. Good selection of beer. Pub was very cold - not the warm. cosy, inviting atmosphere you want on a cold, windy, raining Sunday.

One of the better spoons we've visited. Friendly staff and a nicely cooked breakfast, would certainly recommend and return

We ordered a basic magaritta pizza and chips at 4.45pm, it wasnt delivered until 6.45pm!!! And they still got the order wrong! Great when you have kids waiting!

Went for a night out with friends spiritual night wish I hadn’t bothered really disappointed said exactly the same in secoNd half load of rubbish, as for the food not good no salad which was supposed to come with lasagna garlic bread burnt sent it back will not be going again very disappointed.

Couple of light drinks after a walk. Pub seems decent and drinks good, what's not to like. Trust stretton stu and get down there for a pint.

Nice location next to the canal and river. Decent drinks selection but could be better. Used to be excellent with great food, day and evening events but now no food, no events and often less than busy. Location saves it but a huge opportunity is currently being missed.

Unique and quirky pub, with 3,000 mugs on display- we enjoyed a pint and a few games of pool . Friendly landlady, very quiet weekday afternoon.
