The best restaurants serving British food in West Midlands

Only one word: perfect place!!!

Enjoyed food. More custard needed with desert.

Service-fine Plenty of choice including game. Food-good but why be mean with vegetables? Vegetables are not costly so more than potato plus one green would be better

Can't beat The Fox, great music great atmosphere, fantastic staff. ... best bar in town

We needed a lunch venue for 3 of us, somewhere between North West Staffordshire and Birmingham on Saturday and after a couple of searches The Soup Kitchen came up as the best option. We found easy nearby car park (complete with EV charging which was a bonus) We entered the building and were greeted immediately on arrival and there was no queue. We were then shown immediately to a small booth, which was nice and cosy. The menu was very comprehensive and we were very much spoilt for choice. We had an iced green tea, pot of tea and a water while we decided. We settled on Rosti and Breakfast Staffordshire Oatcake and were not disappointed. We then visited the cakes on display at the entrance to decide on what to have next. We had lemon meringue pie and coffee and salted caramel gateau, which were very enjoyable. Having seen some large sundae glasses with straws being taken to other tables, we finished with a couple of chocolate milkshakes. All in all, it was a very enjoyable lunch and a great find. There were plenty of staff and we never had to wait long to get somebodies attention. It was a very popular place as was evident by how busy it was, even with it being a little out of sight from the main part of the town centre. It reminded me very much of a proper teahouse such as Betty's in York. We all enjoyed our visit and would definitely visit again if in the area.

A sunny Saturday afternoon meet up with friends. We sat outside and enjoyed sharing a bottle of fizz before eating. The outside area is a lovely setting with lots of big umbrellas. We all enjoyed the food but we did find the portion sizes a little small. For example, we had the baked Camembert which was tiny for a sharing dish as advertised. Luckily we had also ordered the calamari, which was some of the best we had tasted! A bit of extra bread and some olives and it was fine. We all enjoyed our main course choices and we had room for pudding which was a bonus. Delicious chocolate fondant and my friends loved their crème brûlée. Very nice rose wine too. All in all, a very enjoyable afternoon /early evening. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I would eat here again.

Great food, good selection of beer and friendly staff! I live locally but have never eaten here, will be back for sure. Highly recommend! 👌🏼

Our regular! Soooo good. 2 specials were delicious, cottage pie and beef brisket. Service efficient and friendly as usual. 15/10!

Couldn't put a zero. Been few times but never refused a drink after 1. Our party had 5 and 4 over 60 causing no trouble. Will not be going back again Let down.

Excellent meal and service from friendly staff who couldn’t enough to ensure we had a lovely lunch. I had crispy duck salad, my sister and ham egg and chips and dad had scampi. All cooked to perfection

Long wait for food but it was busy. Thin chips were tepid and tasteless. Breaded chicken was ok. Lovely cafe and shop but food today let it down.

We booked a family birthday celebration for 8 people and when I rang to confirm booking they had no record of my booking it will be the last time I visit this pub been coming here for years Manager very unhelpful and the way the previous person spoke to me they are not worth my custom

The food was lovely, staff were friendly and the entertainment was spot on. Will return again

We all had lovely lunch time meals everything was freshly cooked and delicious.. real home made chips.. lovely staff made us feel really welcome.. we will be back

Excellent small public house made to feel welcome by staff & customers, their cobs are delicious
