The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Nice meal..Service a little on the slow side tonight. Coffee was a little on the cold side. Will try again another day.

Only came for a beer as I’d filled up in Bonehead. A great selection of craft and local beer, super venue, light and welcoming. Great service and a lovely refuge from the city

Good quiet parking lot! Very pleasant and helpful employees👍😀

We have a gift voucher for Purnells which is now closed. Unable to contact either by email or phone for a refund. Beware before ever buying a gift voucher from a Gl;ynn Purnell restaurant.

We’ve been meaning to come here for a while having been to most of the Stratford restaurants. The menu and specials board are nicely diverse with 3 fish options vegetarian options and pork and beef. I chose the 3 fish medley in white wine and dill and my wife had the chicken and leek pie. Portions were good and both dishes were very flavourful we cleaned our plates. The desert menu was very exciting but we were full so shared a very eclectic 5 cheese board. With wine and coffee the bill came in at less than 100 and we felt well fed. Will come back as the menu deserves another visit and the quality of cooking and diverse specials suggests a strong chef.

We both ordered red bream from the specials board and were served a small overcooked fish with soggy skin on a colossal bed of half squashed grey-green marrowfat peas with a small bowl of flaccid skin-on potato in the shape of fries. No cruet and nothing seasoned. As it was put down we just felt disappointment. Like receiving a school dinner. We've never complained about food before and should have, but ate it and left. We were asked what we thought but were too shy, apparently this was a new dish, I said that it wasn't what we expected, I should have said, yeah, don't serve this again! I'm only fessing up now because Google keeps asking for a review! I've been a few times before and the food has been great so I hope it was a one-off. Just unfortunate that it coincided with trying to impress my mother and expensive!

Best ever onion soup, Sunday roast lamb was lovely, no complaints here!! And we do complain…..it’s rare to find a pub which really knows how to cook a good roast…..definitely worth a visit….

Beautiful scenic spot, absolutely stunning. Dog friendly. Food was amazing and atmosphere good too. Boat was running as water was too high but didn’t matter to us!

Nice pub well cooked food good beer nice clean pint

Finding it difficult to see where the great reviews come from . My husband and myself went in for an evening meal on a Monday evening. We were met at the bar by a “young lad” who pointed to a free table brought our drinks then we sat waiting for our order to be taken for 15 minutes. The order was taken by the blonde lady who was short,abrupt and frosty in her manner . There weee only a handful of us in there and the blonde lady,maybe land lady ,walked past numerous times but didn’t acknowledge us. When our food did arrive it was very bland . My husband had steak and pie,a small slice,frozen chips and VERY plain boiled vegetables with I suspect ‘bisto’gravy. I had chicken Caesar salad ,it was fine but Nothing more . I asked if I may have extra Parmesan and the young lad just dumped it in front of me on a plate and said nothing. The pub is very much lacking in customer service.No body came over and asked if everything was ok,or if they could get us anything else despite them walking past our table multiple times . We asked for the bill and it was brought over to our table .Nobody explained ,as they didn’t when we arrived there about the ordering procedure,whether we were to pay at the bar or if someone would come to take payment at our table.We got fed up trying to get the lady’s attention so left our money on the table(as is done in many establishments )when paying cash. As we were leaving the barman called to us ‘you havnt paid!!’how very unprofessional,rude and unfriendly .we explained to him we had . Nobody said goodbye or asked if everything had been ok. There are some fabulous eateries in stratford with delicious food and lovely service . The thatched Tavern is definately not one of them.

Fantastic service from all the girls here in particularly tricia who was friendly and welcoming , food arrived in great time and was tasty

Fantastic service couldn't fault them. We were one of those dreaded tables with allergies and picky people and no request was an issue. Our servers Ryan and Kaiyre were amazing. Definitely recommend

A warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere, fantastic food & friendly service. What more do you need for Sunday lunch. Thank you Moody Cow.

Great lunch menu. We struggled a little to find gluten-free options but we were OK in the end. It was affordable, the staff were very nice & everything was fresh.

Was really quiet in there but it was a Tuesday night. Went for my dad's 80th birthday. The staff were really friendly and did everything they could to welcome us. Had a selection of meals which were all tasty. Would definitely recommend and would go again. Thank you to the 3 ladies that made the celebration a great family evening
