One of my favourite parks ! I attended the sixth form by the park so I used to go through it every morning & it was quite peaceful ! I love walking round to the lake area and watching the sunset - it was quite relaxing ! There is a nice scenic route - perfect for dog owners/ nature lovers , or anyone really :)

Really nice place for a walk. I live a few towns over and had never been. , there's a cafe and a large kids playground which is great. Loads of places to walk, several park areas and a wetland area. Limited toilet facilities and the car park is tiny though. Car parking is free for the 1st 3 hours and they got an attendant wandering around. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely park where they do race for life events on a yearly basis. The park consists of a large playground for children of all ages, picnic areas, hire a bike station, lake to feed the ducks and a centre with a free play area and a cafe with toilets inside. A good day out for the kids just a five minute walk from Touchwood shopping centre and on sunny days you can find an ice cream man.

Elmdon Park is a large nature reserve located in the Solihull district of England. It features a football pitch, tennis courts, and trails for walking. The park is also home to ancient trees and a lake.
Beautiful setting for a walk, a little slice of countryside despite the close motorway and airport. Be mindful if it has been raining as there is a lot of mud! Car park and also be slippy as there is ice in the winter time.

A really lovely park. Lots of nice open spaces for running around and exercising your dog. A big range of fun equipment for children. Miles of winding paths and secluded tree lined footways to explore. Make sure you see the sweet chestnut tree. It's over 500 years old. Ample parking spaces.

Staying with friends in Solihull I was looking for a place for a walk and was introduced to Elmdon Park. This place is huge with loads of paths and trails. There’s a play area for the kids, a large pond or 2, football area and when you climb the hill there’s good views over the area. You could easily make up a 5 km walk. This park leads on to other open areas for an even bigger walk. Dog and kid friendly.

Shopping mall
Touchwood Solihull is a large, popular shopping mall in the heart of Solihull. It features high-street stores and restaurants as well as fashion and beauty brands. It's a great place to visit if you're in the area, and its convenient location means you can easily walk to nearby attractions.
Quite a nicely built set-up with many outlets and a decent food court. There's a nice mix of the usual basic high street brands, and a few more upmarket ones. It's an easy walk from the train station, or alternatively a substantial carpark is available. It's always been very busy when I've visited and you can easily end up spending many hours here.
Dal — Google review
Probably one of the most pleasant shopping centres I've been in. Light and airy with lots of natural light. Interesting decorations with relief panels depicting local scenes in the brickwork and wooden plans of cities and towns. One of the best features is that it is laid out on routes through the town centre so doesn't have any dead ends. Other than a bite to eat in one of the upstairs (chain) restaurants I don't think I went in any shops but still found it an interesting visit.

Have shopped at Touchwood for decades, it is getting busier and the car parks are often very full with queues to get in. Several new stores have opened up, including a few good restaurants. There are fast food joints and finer dining options if you are going for dinner. There is a cinema, and a library. The facilities are large and always clean. Security always present. John Lewis has a large branch here with all you could need. The library is always a good visit, with its own separate cafe and theatre. Bus routes stop just outside and the train station is only an 8 minute walk away.

A really lovely town centre. The street market on Fridays is a treat for real foodies. The shopping mall is clean, well lit with wheelchair access. The public toilets are spacious, well decorated and very clean. There is a large John Lewis and regular other stores you'd expect to see. Fair amount of eateries inside, more outside. What I particularly liked about this centre is the size, not too big just right and easy to navigate around.

Massive place. It has everything you can think of is sold in this place. More than enough parking and a wide selection of restaurants to choose from. Loved it. I stopped into Next of course and got a jeans pants to avoid an embarrassing situation (my pants crutch ripped right in the front. Luckily, my hoodie was long enough to cover my goodies). The staff was great. They allowed me to change after purchasing. The choices available for curvy ladies were plenty 😉. And the fit was spot on. A blessing in disgusting 🫣. Stopping here was worth it, I only wished I had more time to explore.

Birmingham's historic sites range from the Industrial Revolution to Tudor times, with Blakesley Hall Museum one of the oldest and most interesting buildings in the city. Built in 1590, this Tudor house preserves classic Tudor architecture and gives visitors a taste of life during Elizabeth I's reign. Featuring luxurious fittings and fixtures, Blakesley Hall Museum is an excellent place to learn about Birmingham's history.
Had a lovely afternoon out for Apple day on October 3rd. They had lots of things for the kids to do and and a craft fair was on in the hall, it was brilliant. The hall itself is wonderful and there are guides there that can answer any questions you have. The building was built in 1590 but Is impeccably maintained. There's a little family room upstairs with toys and games and stuff. The stairs are quite steep and might be a challenge for some people. The site isn't massive but there's a nice cafe and a small garden to walk around. I think we will definitely go back in the future.

I don't want to review it as its such a little Jewel in the Museum's Crown. Not huge in the least. In the Summer you could seat, inside and out 50 people at the cafe area and a little gift shop. They do events through the year and a payed tour of the old house.. But it's the ladies running the place are just fantastic. Super kind and lovely people. Above and beyond as they are just such nice people. It's the reason I go more than anything to relax and have fun with my son. Perfect and relaxed environment... I wish them well. Sincere regards David and Henry.

Would’ve gave zero if I had the chance to however since I can’t, I give one. The reason why I’ve gave one as you guys clearly can’t be bothered to update your opening/closing hours after the new year period. At least have some grace because you’ve just wasted our time as me and my partner have experienced the most stressful drive ever trying to get to this place to find out that it’s not even open, all of the fuel wasted too. Pathetic, update your opening times it’s really not that hard. “Confirmed by our business 8 weeks ago” online that the opening times are correct, grow up and have the decency to not lie.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and are fantastic with children. The hall itself is kept very well and laid out as it would have been back then, with some exhibits kept in immaculate glass housing. There is also a café and shop which are fairly well priced and you are able to bring your own food and sit in the gardens when the weather is good. Also highly recommend getting some of the lavender goods which is grown on site.

The Core Theatre is a versatile facility that features a theatre, studio, and gallery to host diverse entertainment options, including exhibitions. Recently, the venue showcased Made in Dagenham from June 14-18 which highlights the story of Rita OGrady's fight for women's rights in Ford's Dagenham car plant. The play depicts ordinary people doing extraordinary things when they unite as one.
First visit to this theatre for a concert by Go Now the music of the Moody Blues. Absolutely brilliant. Easy enough to find. The theatre seating is so clever, you have perfect view of the stage and no one's head will be in your view. Great air conditioning, felt very safe. Plus the band were superb.

One of the finest places I stayed in Solihull, it is a gem of its own. It is quirky with a lot of charm and character. The furnishings and the bed itself is truly incredible - I slept well on our last stay! If you are booking your stay here for a weekend, don’t forget to include a breakfast with your booking and ask for the King Rooms especially Room number 2. It can be a bit noisy downstairs on a Saturday night but it becomes quiet by 10pm onwards.

We were looking for a fine dining experience so we had set the bar quite high. The reviews in general were positive so we booked for1/1/2022 dinner at 6pm. The menue was very limited about 4 items per course plus a couple of grill items. The price range was medium, average about £33 for three courses. We shared the house bread followed by bacon chop with chips and a duck egg for me, fish and chips for my wife . To finish ,sticky toffee pudding. Total cost £79.50 including a bottle of Pino. The food was freshly cooked and well presented. Other than the limited choice ,we could no fault it. Now here comes the but. It was far from fine dining but that was probably our misreading of the opening reviews etc. What really will prevent our return is the noise. Like most modern eating places there are no soft furnishings or surfaces to absorb the noise generated by social interaction. This was exascebated by the groups of none diners using the restaurant as a place to meet for a drink. Unfortunately for us we were sat next to four men who spoke and laughed continually at a disturbing volume. The search continues.

Popped in for a drink at one of my erstwhile locals when I lived here . Reductions on price of real ale for CAMRA members . Much changed since my youth . The public bar and cocktail lounge have disappeared leaving a larger drinking and dining area . Toilets immaculate . Good staff and a nice ambience. The menu looked inviting and the dishes I saw served seem to offer good value . As I was only there for the beer sat outside in a large beer garden , part of which provides cover in inclement weather . Beer is well kept and usually a choice of three ales . Well worth a visit as very handy for the train station and bus stop that lie immediately opposite .

To be honest, really really bad. The food arrived within 5 minutes and was stone cold. At those prices, it should be classed as fraud. Plenty of other pubs/restaurants that can provide hot food that hasn’t been sat on the side for an hour.

The only place you will get discriminated by your colour of your skin. Your religion, your sexuality. Your illness, your needs. Your financial situation, what you wear. Its the must bullies place that i ever visit. It’s actually a cheap place. But the managements is just rubbish. All they care about. If you are from abroad they don care. As long you have an accent you should shut you mouth . Especially if you are black African or Caribbean. Or Indian or Pakistan. The manager call Andrew apparently.

On first impressions, the place is quite small. There are a couple floor tables, a group of western tables and a bar counter. The place can fill up quickly so I'd recommend to call ahead. The service is very good and accommodating. The food came out at a reasonable time. The quality and quantity is very good for the price. It's excellent for small families. We'll likely go again.

Indian restaurant
Panchuli Restaurant, located in a former mansion on Solihull High Street, is highly regarded as the top Indian eatery by those in the know. With its elegant ambiance, this dining establishment offers a contemporary twist on traditional Indian cuisine. Chef Maz Rahman showcases his culinary expertise through dishes such as the indulgent Bengal duck jalfrezi and curried scallops with lentil and coconut.
The food is excellent, visited a few times and it’s been consistently good! Great mid-week offer and good service. Downstairs seating area looks a little tired but it doesn’t detract from the food! Highly recommended!

Beware if asked to sit in an old fireplace opposite the entrance as we were tonight . The beam above is ridiculously low and one of our party hit her head with considerable impact. Staff that witnessed were quick to then ignore the distress caused and our table was suddenly available. Not a great start to your evening an acknowledgement at the very least would have been as a minimum expected and not the very usual 10% added to the bill as a discretionary service charge. Service staff were friendly but I still find it hard to warm to this one .

Visited for the first time and would not go back. Staff rude and we were rushed with our food. Starter was OK but mains was tasteless. Cleared the table before checking we had finished. 10% charge on bill is OK if you get the the good food and service.

Pleasant restaurant, staff were nice some not very clear when speaking but certainly friendly and welcoming. We had a dish with Chili and Garlic Paneer and also a Masala which were well executed and tasty. Peshwari Nann bread was drizzled in honey which was a sticky experience but very tasty. Onion Bhajis were nice, could have done with some mint yogurt. Drinks wise the Pepsi had no fiz but all else good. Price was very reasonable. Atmosphere was empty when we arrived but soon filled up, decor is nice but some areas need a bit of love. All in all a pleasant experience 👍🏻

Located quite central in Solihull and visited based on feedback while visiting Solihull. As an Indian visiting an Indian restaurant was quite average. As an Indian restaurant the people were too cold, and felt very unwelcoming. Very general courtesy was missing, no greetings or smile on anyone’s face to start. They forgot to lit the candle on the table, the dessert bowl was broken. I was the first guest in the evening, still was asked to wait to see if they had table available. In 1 hour I was in the restaurant, there were 2 family who visited the first floor, the rest if the restaurant was empty, so pretending they have a busy restaurant with many reservations, hmmm…. Coming to food, it was average, nothing special just a regular Indian restaurant serving Indian food. The matka kulfi was the best, but don’t go with the pictures on the menu where it is loaded with Pistachios, I literally had just 1 Pistachio, literally 1 in the bowl.

Panchuli is an attractive restaurant. Service was efficient if not overly friendly. Food was a big disappointment. Chef’s specials Railway Mutton Curry and Goan Chicken Xacuti both seemed to use the same brown sauce. The Xacuti had a little chilli heat but otherwise both dishes were very bland. The Xacuti had only 6 small pieces of chicken. The pilau rice was the worst I’ve ever had - big congealed lumps of flavourless rice and not made with basmati. The naan was good. The restaurant added a 10% service charge to the bill.

Had a lovely meal there. We have eaten here many times on previous visits to Solihull. Decided to go with several starters instead of main meals. Good sized portions and very tasty.

Working down at the NEC for a few days and just booked last minute for 6 . From the minute we arrived everything was perfect… service, food, portions and pleasant helpful staff. Every plate went back empty ….. Would certainly visit again next year when we are back down there!

The food was decent and a real improvement on the tired trope offered at most Bangladeshi restaurants. The building is nice and traditional too. We'll be back.

I recently ordered from Panchuli Restaurant through Just Eat, and I must say, the experience was deeply disappointing. The food quality severely lacked the standard I expected. The lamb chops, which should have been a highlight, were undercooked and full of colour, suggesting a lack of proper preparation. The butter chicken, a classic favourite, was unrecognisably in flavor, missing the rich, creamy taste it’s known for. Moreover, the naan bread, usually a simple yet delightful part of any Indian meal, was of poor quality. This was one of the worst food experiences I’ve had in recent times, especially from a delivery perspective. It was disheartening to see such a lack of attention to detail and quality in the food prepared by Panchuli Restaurant.

Steak house
Miller & Carter Solihull is a trendy steakhouse that offers sustainably sourced, pasture-raised British beef, burgers, and ribs. The restaurant has convenient on-site parking, which is a pleasant surprise for customers. Even though there might be a slight delay in acknowledging waiting guests upon arrival, it's the only concern of the evening. The service is prompt once seated, with quick delivery of both drinks and freshly prepared food. The steaks are described as exquisite and delicious.
First time at Miller and Carter, and who knew they do more than steaks. Lovely atmosphere, and warm welcome from the staff. Our particular waitress was wonderful. But the Buttermilk Chicken was the nicest meal I've had for years. Absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back

Cleaner than other Miller & Carter restaurants we’ve visited, probably recently refurbished. They offer special Vegan dishes this January and I’ve chosen Roasted cauliflower with corn puree, it looks impressive but lacked flavour, most probably we’ll get the stakes next time.😋

Attended at 5pm on a Saturday so understandably it was busy but it took a while to be served. Our server was great though and was tentative. Unfortunately they didn't have the bread starter which we wanted so i had the prawn and avocado salad which was tasty but the lettuce provided with it was the old and limp outside leaf of the salad (please see photo) which was a let down and in my opinion, not what you'd expect for the price and from Miller & carter. My main was perfect 👌🏽 as was the dessert. All in all, a good evening with just a couple of things that could have made it perfect.

Firstly, let's talk about the carpark! It's a breath of fresh air turning up and being able to park on site, loved it. We made a last minute reservation here, as my local didn't have a table for us, wasn't sure what to expect at all. Upon arrival, it did take a few minutes for someone to recognise we were waiting, which I found surprising, but that was my only concern of the evening. Once seated we didn't have to wait long for drinks or food, everything was freshly prepared and the steak was divine. It was my daughters birthday and her dessert came with a little happy birthday message, which made her day. Would definitely recommend Miller and Carter Solihull to anyone.

Excellent restaurant! Being from the US, it’s hard to find a really well cooked steak and a true steakhouse. Miller & Carter serve both incredible atmosphere and insanely delicious steak. Steve was an awesome server! Even my 5 year old loved this restaurant as they are kid-friendly. My family and I thank you for a wonderful experience! Looking forward to our next night out here!

The only thing better than our food tonight (which was perfect) was the service. Our waitress Angela, nothing was too much trouble even with our fussy children. Angela was knowledgeable and engaging. We was also able to speak to the kitchen manager Jon he and his team cooked an amazing meal and I would recommend everyone to visit. Great food, great service. Please bring back the nachos!

I came to this Miller and Carter on Mother's day this year and the food was GREAT! I was served by a lady called Ange I think, who had great customer service and made me and my family feel welcomed. I then went again this month, April and was served by a lady by the name of Donna who customer service was 10/10. Sorry don't have dates but these women deserve a shout out, Many thanks again and i will be returning back soon.

Indian restaurant
The Delhi, an Indian restaurant located in Solihull, offers a smart and authentic dining experience with a blend of old favorites and innovative twists. The venue boasts an atmosphere adorned with traditional decor and brass lamps, creating an ambiance that enhances the overall dining experience. Alongside popular options like chicken balti and lamb Madras, The Delhi also provides vegetarian dishes for those with dietary preferences. With its fresh ingredients and crispy samosas, the restaurant delivers exceptional flavors that are sure to satisfy any palate.
Me and my family ate at the Delhi and we had a wonderful time. The service was amazing. Waiters always checking up on us to make sure everything is ok and if we needed anything and the food itself was excellent. One of the best curry houses in the whole of Birmingham definitely. The owner was at the restaurant on the day too and he was lovely and even gave us some free poppadoms and chocolates to the little kids. Food had lots of flavour and absolutely love the Bangladeshi influence on some of the dishes. Will definitely be coming back very soon! Highly recommend.

The food was nice here - I’m a vegetarian and the selection was wide. The menu was simple and I liked the upstairs decor. The customer service was not that great. Polite chap but dropped a glass at my feet, these things happen but he was hard to understand and couldn’t explain the menu well. We ended up having one dish which was excessively spicy and was full of chilli’s nearly edible. The food was nice but the service could have been better. When customers leave, always say “thank you for your customer, hope you liked the food and come again”. We were ignored on our way out. A bit of a cold feeling. As a fast food place it’s great, as a restaurant there needs to be better basic hospitality skills.

We've been loyal to The Delhi for a few years now and generally had great curry from them, also catering for gluten-free allergies (our daughter is coeliac). It's a shame that lately the quality of the curry has had a downturn: it's been definitely less tasty and not great value for money, I wonder whether the ever-increasing cost of ingredients has had an impact (likely, it did for most businesses). We'll move to another curry house for a bit and will try The Delhi again at some point in the future.
Silvia Pensa — Google review
The best Indian food I think I've ever tasted. We ordered a chicken balti, lamb Madras, lamb samosa, egg fried rice, boiled rice, chips & a garlic and coriander naan. Couldn't fault any of it. Extremely fresh, samosa was crispy and hot. Great staff and customer service too! 100% recommend.

Please take this review as constructive i noticed previous negative reviews have been shot down. Either way my Saturday night meal was a let down Ordered a lamb balti and chicken tikka masala. Lamb balti was average wouldnt have wrote this review but opening the chicken tikka masala worst ever the masala was a soupy nature few cubes of what tasted like unmarinated chicken not authentic at all. In summary for a restaurant the food served out was poor if you expect authentic currys this isnt the place. Seriously you cant serve food that bad i was close to picking up the phone and asking for a refund. Delivery was on time as a postive

What a find this little place was. We were up here for a car plant tour and felt we just had to have a curry being in the West Midlands. From the outside The Delhi doesn't look much, certainly no sign of a restaurant, more like a take away? We went in anyway and were guided upstairs to a small but rather nicely laid out little restaurant. We were greeted by the (I think) owner. A very nice chap who made us welcome and got us seated. A couple of poppadoms arrived with pickles/sauces, closely followed by a pair of nicely chilled bottles of Cobra. Our orders were taken by our friendly waiter. Then our food came, I'll be honest and say we weren't expecting much, but oh boy was I wrong! The chicken balti that I had was the nuts, the chicken was so tender it almost didn't need chewing. It's the best balti I've had for a while for sure. The naans were soft and fluffy inside and that nice crispy not quite burnt outer that just completes your meal. The sides and the rice (we had one between us) were equally as good as the main. There was more than enough food, not huge portions but big enough. My mate and I left feeling comfortably full - which is good. If you're in this neck of the woods and fancy a good curry in a great atmosphere then The Delhi is the place to go! Best to book a table though. We were in on a Tuesday and it was very busy with just one table spare.

They provide a unique experience in eating, bringing you authentic Indian cuisine, gives the feel of the Old East with flavours of the West. They have many diverse regional flavours served prepared in open kitchen up across India. Portions are small but very tasty.

Ordered from uber eats couple of times and naan always comes uncooked from the bottom, I ordered samosa and for 3.99 you get 2 tiny frozen samosa which were not at all cooked properly also without any chutney. Disappointed

Indian restaurant with different kind of meals, prepared, cooked and served from an open kitchen. Nice to seal how the Indian cooks are preparing the food. The food is so tasty, really good (had the lamb and pumpkin dansak)! Combination of spices is perfect! Only 4 our of 5 stars because is think the price is a bit high. But for the rest it is a place I would like to go back to!
Sander van Vliet — Google review
Very nice food and friendly staff. Lovely decor in the restaurant and a good location. I've taken off 1 star because I didn't like having to walk through the kitchen to get to the restaurant, and I've taken 2 stars off because they added 10% service to the bill without informing us before hand. This essentially means all the prices are a lie and how much we'd all expected to pay was wrong.
Michael Hunter — Google review
The food was good with the flavours and spice. If you want you can add additional spice to your meal. The seating area is limited so book a table if there are more than 4 people or if it's a weekend! The staff is friendly and caring. You might feel a bit pricy but considering the location and the food, it's alright! The beer option is limited!
