The rooms are lovely, and the private access to the event hall was a real plus. The wine list had some nice local options that paired well with the evening.

Popped in for Sunday lunch. The roast beef was perfectly pink and the Yorkshire puddings were huge. Felt like a proper home-cooked meal.

It does get pretty loud when it&#39;s packed, but honestly, the steak is just so good. Had the ribeye last night and it was cooked perfectly. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Nice old pub with a huge garden out back. Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was really peaceful. Sat outside with a drink, just enjoying the quiet.

The fish and chips were the highlight for me. The batter was so light and crispy, and I loved that the chips were proper hand-cut. Really generous portion too.

A proper old pub, and you can tell they look after you. The baked cod was lovely, really well done. The whole place just felt comfortable and relaxed, which is what you want.

The lamb duo was pretty good. Frankie and Michelle remembered I liked it rare, which was a nice touch. Service was attentive without being overbearing. A solid spot.

Nice spot for a family lunch. The kids&#39; play area and park are a lifesaver. Had the fish and chips, decent portion. The house white was surprisingly good for a pub wine, crisp and worked well with the meal. A bit noisy, but that&#39;s to be expected.

Our server really knew her stuff, especially with the menu details. She helped us navigate our son&#39;s picky eating without any fuss. The venison pie was spot on, and the roast beef came out just right. Made for a relaxed family dinner.

This place has such a nice, easygoing vibe. The staff are really friendly and the crowd is always a good mix. I&#39;ve noticed the food has gotten a lot better lately, which is a bonus. Just a solid local spot.

Good range of craft beers, some interesting rotating options. Prices are a touch high, but you get what you pay for in terms of selection.

Managed to snag a last-minute table for a big group, which was a lifesaver! The staff were so on it, really attentive. Made the whole evening easy and fun for everyone.

Love that they&#39;re dog-friendly! The staff were so nice to our pup, and the rooms are spacious and clean. Perfect for traveling with a pet, makes everything so much easier.

The outdoor seating was nice, but the drinks are a bit pricey for what you get. A pint of their house lager was nearly &pound;7, which felt a little steep for a casual pub.

Decent carvery for the price. Portions are huge, the giant drinks are a nice touch. Got my plate sorted quickly at lunch. Solid option if you need a quick, filling bite.

Great beer list, really impressive. The espresso martini was a nice surprise, paired well with the salty fries. Gets very busy though, we had to wait a bit for a table. Solid spot for a casual drink.

Friendly staff and a nice vibe with the live music. Food portions were generous, tasted good. They gave us a free round for my birthday, which was a nice touch. Solid spot.

No. 7 of Bars in Birmingham

If you&#39;re looking for a charming place to dine near the NEC, the Little Owl is a fantastic choice. The chicken kebab and slow-cooked beef were both excellent, and the staff were very accommodating.

Bella provided outstanding service during our visit! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a highlight of our evening!

Came here for the first time last night. The vibe was so lively and welcoming, just right for catching up with friends. We ended up staying way longer than planned!

A solid spot to catch the game. The weekday drink deals are a nice bonus. Atmosphere gets lively on Fridays, which is fun.

Jo at the bar is the reason I keep coming back. Efficient, remembers my usual order, and handles a busy Friday crowd without breaking a sweat. Makes solo after-work drinks feel completely normal. A real pro.

Lovely big beer garden for a sunny afternoon. The staff were really attentive, which I appreciated. I was mostly impressed by how fresh the salad ingredients were in my lunch - crisp greens and ripe tomatoes. It made for a nice, light meal.

The chef came out to chat with us. He explained the dish we ordered, which was a nice touch. Honestly, the portion was a bit smaller than I expected for the price, but the food itself was tasty.

Friendly bar staff and a solid sports selection. My go-to pub in the area now.

The churros are the only thing I come here for. They&#39;re crisp on the outside, soft and warm inside, with that perfect cinnamon sugar coating. The chocolate dip is thick and rich, not too sweet. I&#39;ve tried the French toast, it&#39;s fine, but honestly, nothing compares to those churros.

The bartender really knew his rums. I told him I usually go for something dark, and he suggested a specific one that was spot on. Friendly chat, no pressure. The rest of the team seemed nice too, but he made the visit.
