Was in bromsgrove for business. Had dinner from here for two nights. Dishes were nicely presented. Tasted as good. Also service was fast and good. Had salmon linguine which was exceptional

What a little gem of an Italian. We managed to book on the day, although I’d recommend booking in advance as the restaurant is very small. The menu is extensive; something for everyone, including a good selection of wines/drinks. I genuinely couldn’t decide what to have, all of the dishes coming out from the kitchen looked delicious. Just gives me an excuse to go back and try something else. The waitresses were very attentive and friendly. They made a big effort to make everyone feel welcome. We had starters and mains, deciding against dessert, as we were super full and there wasn’t that option (for us) that convinced us to do so. I have several favourite Italian restaurants in Birmingham and surrounding areas, but I do think Fuso has taken the top spot! Will definitely return’

Love, love, love this restaurant. The food is always amazing, every time I come. Their cheese fondue is my go to and would suggest it to everyone. When we came without booking, staff would always try their best to accommodate us as soon as they can. Staff is also very polite, hardworking and welcoming. So helpful. Only praise here. The kitchen staff seems great as well. Love it. Keep it up guys.

Unfortunately having to change my rating of this place from 5⭐ down to 1⭐ We've eaten here several times before, plus had takeaway several times over lockdown, and always really enjoyed the food and the restaurant experience itself but today completely put us off ever returning. So, I'll start with the positives. Our starters were nice. We shared the cheese fondue, a small rosemary garlic bread and our son had the pork belly bites. All of the starters were tasty and good value. For mains, my calzone was tasty enough for what it was. Now for the negative side. We were eating as a family, with our son, and the music playing in the restaurant had uncensored swearing in multiple songs, which we were really unimpressed with. For a family restaurant this is completely unacceptable. I ordered a cocktail that tasted nothing like the description and although supposed to be sparkling was completely flat. My partner and son ordered a chicken pasta dish off the specials menu which sounded and looked lovely however the pasta was really overcooked and there was no flavour anywhere on the plate. It was not very nice at all. They both sent it back having eaten maybe a 1/5 or 1/4 of the plate each at most. The staff offered us free desserts for the trouble which was a lovely gesture, but still charged the £19 per dish for the two plates of food that were sent back to the kitchen which is a bit of a slap in the face. The desserts weren't great either, a soggy flavourless tiramisu, some grainy over frozen chocolate ice cream and our sons Nutella gniochhi were OK but served to him absolutely scalding hot with no warning from the staff of their temperature. We would much rather have not had free deserts and had the cost of the bad food taken off our bill. Service was very slow, surprisingly as there were not many other people in the restaurant. All in all the total bill was just short of £90 which is a lot for the food/drink we actually consumed - two alcoholic drinks, two cans of pop, two starters, a side, one main meal, and three dissapointing desserts. Very overpriced for below average food and slow service. Suffice to say we will not be coming back to this restaurant nor would we reccommend it to our friends and family.

Me and my friends came to visit yesterday for my birthday , we didn’t book a table as it was a last min find in that area as we were local but we managed to get a table. I ordered a KING PRAWN starter for £7.50, it arrived in a tomato bolognaise sauce and I received 4 average sized prawns, not king as advertised in fact the whole dish didn’t taste how it was advertised I knew straight away I was sending that back because as I’m not looking on other peoples photos on these reviews I see they have received a great portion and mine only looked full when asking to send it back, for that price it’s ridiculous, no seasoning I can’t even begin to tell you how long I was sitting there adding salt and pepper so I could at least try and enjoy it , seafood needs seasoning otherwise it just tastes like plain prawns and rubber. I had the piccante pasta which I order everywhere I go, again no flavour, when you cook creamy pasta you do NEED to add extra seasonings otherwise it just tastes like cream… which is exactly what my chicken pasta with chilli and tomatoes tasted like , cream. My friends ordered the mushroom bruschetta which was SUPPOSED to come with a blue cheese and it didn’t and the bread was hard. Not happy with the food or service after forgetting my order , the food for the price isn’t worth it , nice very small restaurant/room , staff were good, the lady who served us was very apologetic. For someone who loves Italian food its a let down , drinks were decent but wouldn’t be seeing me again its not value for money. Add more filling to the meals then maybe.

Visited here this evening. I struggled.to park as there is only on street parking locally. Food is excellent but it's mainly burgers. If you don't like burgers I wouldn't recommend this place. The staff were friendly and we wasn't waiting too long to be served. The only thing that spoils it is that it's not a massive place and the tables are a bit too close together. It's also very noisy. We were in a party of 4 and we struggled to communicate because of the noise of everyone else talking. Overall I had a good time and I would return.

This is a great small and local place to eat and have a drink with superb service, great choice of drinks and tasty food. However, the prices are absolutely extortionate. The burgers we had were £16.00 each … that was just for a burger! We then had to pay an extra £8.50 for some chips with jalapeños, cheese, guacamole and sour cream on and a further £8.50 for just three chicken tenders!!! We could have had a lot more food for the same price as one burger at a chain restaurant which makes you wonder why people decide to stick to known named places which is a shame!

Great food!! Had a lovely catch up with my friend and we both craved some buffalo chicken strips, that she recommended. It was quite busy but we grabbed the last table. Collections/deliveries seemed popular too. Friendly owner, staff and great service, the food was quite quick, fresh and very tasty. Definitely be back to check out more from the menu... it all looks so good.

I went last night with my partner n friends. Was really looking forward to it as heard nothing but positive things. However... The service time was fair as they were busy the atmosphere was lovely being Xmas as well. The fact it only has one toilet for male and one toilet for female was disappointing espically as when I needed to go and my friend we were in a queue and our food was getting cold. Now the important part. The food... On looks its looked amazing however I found the prawns were not very nice at all very over powering. The burger was under cooked and sure it wasn't hereford beef ive had better from tesco. The loaded fries were great but again they had a very over powering flavour which made it hard to enjoy them. The drinks seemed a little pricey espically the cocktails at £11 a throw. Which I suppose is the growing rate near brum. Overall very disappointing visit and won't be going back again. 4 starters 4 burgers 4 loaded fries and 3 pints 2 a shandy and 3 cocktails. All in £170.75. Which for me was extortionate for the quality of the food. Definitely won't be in a hurry to go back. Especially after at 4am this morning I vomited the whole lot back up.

Always been impressed with Ascotts, except previous 2 occasions. The first was an evening meal with a friend where we were seated next to an overloaded large birthday table with what was about 50 cm between the tables, barely enough space for a person to fit through and a constant stream of people leaving the table. Suggest restaurant takes this into account when booking large parties and giving them enough space so as not to spoil other guests enjoyment. 2nd occasion when we attempted to order food to take out: placed order only to be notified that the wait time was 55 minutes (2 burgers and fries). Went to restaurant and asked why - told us that the restaurant was fully booked. On a Saturday evening this wouldn’t be unusual I would have thought. Perhaps if the kitchen can’t handle a full restaurant and takeout then don’t offer takeout; or at least offer the same customer experience as diners in the restaurant. I’d be pretty annoyed if I had to wait an hour for food dining in or takeout. Cancelled this order. Follow up after restaurant’s reply: 1. We did ask to be moved, in fact to a table of 4 that remained free for the entire duration of our meal but we were told that as we were a party of 2 we could not use a table for 4. 2. We actually arrived at the restaurant about 5 minutes (not 15) after placing the order because I wanted to find out why there would be such a long delay (we had alternatives). We were absolutely not offered a shorter wait by the restaurant, we were told that the restaurant was full and therefore there would be a long wait. In fact the email confirming cancellation said, and I quote: “We are too busy and cannot accept more orders at this time.”

Great atmosphere, great service, good food. What's not to love?! Had the classic burger. Delicious quality beef, not overcooked, which tends to happen, good bun and loads of cheese and a slap of bacon. Worth the price!

We love Ascotts! We've been going to Ascotts for years and I can definitely say that it is the best food in Aston Fields (probably Bromsgrove as well :)) We have dined it, used the takeout option and even delivery (during Covid). The food is always great. What I really like is that you can request to remove a sauce if it is not to your liking. I don't eat spicy food and the majority of dishes come with spicy sauces, which is not a problem because they will happily remove it if you ask :) My partner always goes with spicy wings and I have Tandoori Chicken Tacos (with chilli removed) & Tenders with blue sauce only. We like to come early (4-5pm) that way it's always quiet :) If you plan on eating here over the weekend, you have to book. It's the busiest place in the area and for a good reason. Lovely cocktails as well. Highly recommended!

Staff were extremely welcoming, very helpful when choosing items off the menu and were very patient with us considering there kitchen had just closed whilst we were still deciding. The Korean chicken burger was nice, although lacked depth of flavour and a little extra seasoning was needed. The coleslaw and sauces were delicious and the bun was fab. The belly pork was excellent, the best belly pork I've ever tasted, so would highly recommend. My partner ordered the veggie burger, which she said was nice. The interior was inviting and warm. Lovely night filled with good hearty street food.

Pub
Restaurant
The Queens Head at Stoke Pound is a pub with a modern design that incorporates its original elements. It offers live music and a variety of food, including pizzas cooked in wood-fired ovens. Located by the Worcestershire canal, it has a landscaped beer garden where customers can enjoy their meals and barbecues. For special occasions, groups can hire tepees and gather around the cozy fire pit in the evening.
We stopped at The Queen's Head for dinner by the canal back in June and meant to post a review at the time. We had a lovely table outside. The food was delicious! We were going to share a dessert but it was so good, I wouldn't share it so my partner got her own. The service was excellent. We would definitely eat here again if we are in the area.

This was a great place to eat. Not quite sure if it is more a restaurant than a pub but very nice. Food was lovely and the styling has a hint of ski chalet about it. It is next to a canal so ask for a canal side table. Looks like it has a good sized function room. Easy access. We'll worth a visit. Staff were super friendly too.

Poor customer service. The waiter had an attitude from the moment we walked into the restaurant. She refused to hand me the drinks menu after I politely asked for one. When the food arrived our group asked for sauces i.e mustard and a pot of gravy for 4. They gave us 2 empty mustard jars and the pot of gravy was half full (which we were supposed to share between the 4 of us). To top it all off the chicken was pink/raw.

That aside, it's a great place to visit if you're just popping in for a quick drink, even better if you fancy something to eat....... honestly, you can't go wrong here! The walks down the canals are fantastic, it really is the perfect place to watch the world pass by. 11/10 for us

Our 4th visit to the Queens Head which seems to get better with each visit. Very dog and people friendly! Never a problem parking and is set in a quiet spot that's perfect for relaxing. A pub with character! With its open kitchen, comfy seating and friendly staff, it's a perfect place for a date night, birthday drink or whatever! The food is very good quality and visiting midweek is a bonus also for the 2 for 1 pizza offer. Need to also mention the cocktails which are superb! The location makes for a memorable visit and a good spot to walk off the calories afterwards also 😀 👌

Set in a beautiful location next to the canal, the pub was very nice inside and out, with plenty of seating and nice lighting, there was even a blanket on the back of our outside chairs for if it got a bit chily. The food was tasty, and the service was good. The only slight downside was the portion size of our main meal.

I really enjoyed the kidney starter. It was like a steak and kidney pie but without the pastry. I really enjoyed the frangelico coffee. It tasted hot and cold. The cookie dough ice cream was nice. Service was friendly.

This is another little gem that gorgeous Mrs found on our resent excursion to the west Midlands.... And what a lovely little gem this is place is with its entrance from the car park up a flight of steel stairs that lead you to the front of pub/restaurant, you will you enter through a small corridor which leads you into a large but not emposing bar and relaxed seating area which has a large open room fireplace addoned with two large cow decorative skulls which leads your eye to the main dining area which is own and light well light and the chatter of the dinners builds a warm and excitable antispation of the meal to come, All the staff are dressed in black shirts and matching shorts or skirts and they seem to move effortlessly between there allotted tables, the restaurant allows dogs to sit in the bar area and this just adds to the overall warm a fuzzy feel to the establishment, onto the food... The menu is modern and different with out being ponsey the trouble and strif had the scollops and the warm duck salad an I partook of one of there woodfired pizzas both were of a very high standard and they all passed the foodanister approvel aka the wife 😍😍 the location next to the canal just adds to the overall abundance, and would I eat here again hell yes and we are booked In again tomorrow evening at 7pm well done to all the staff and management you have a fantastic restaurant and bar keep up the good work lov Paul and Nicola

Great location however this pub is overrated and food isn't good. We have tried to pop by on several attempts, once we got offered sandwhiches only so we came back another day and finally succeeded. The food was very disappointing and staff nowhere to be found. The burger was just sad and chips overcooked. Pizza was no better. Drinks were fine. It was a very quiet day but still we couldn't find staff to pay so we could leave. Popped by on another day just for drinks as we already know the food isn't great and it was very busy. It seems like a very popular pub and the location is great, but I can't recommend the food and since it's so very busy I would chose somewhere else for drinks as well.

Popped in for a refreshment. Can’t speak to the food, it looked too major on pizza and they looked nice. It’s a great view of the canal, we had walked down from lock 58. The place is busy and if not already booked for dinner I would have had the pizza.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. A little more expensive than your average pub grub but you're getting a little bit more for your money. Good produce and well cooked meat. Plenty of enticing options on the menu. The decor and interior of the pub is modern yet warm. It was busy on my visit without being overbearing. Booking recommended! The staff at the bar and waiting tables were welcoming and efficient. The food was of good quality and plenty of drinks options. Ideal for special occasions, dates and just drinks.

First time here and our table was in the marquee area. It was a lovely atmosphere almost like sitting outside with the artificial grass carpet and hanging foliage. The seats had cushions and faux fur throws and fan heaters situated around the area provided heat. Great choice of food on menu and service was just the right amount of attention. Would definitely recommend a visit.

What a find! An excellent pub with excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff. Dog friendly even though we were a bit muddy from the adjacent canal towpath. They even brought a bowl of water for the dog. Pizzas are a big thing here but they also provide sandwiches and lighter bites. It was busy for a Wednesday lunchtime so that tells its own story. Highly recommended and I wound definitely go again.

The Dry Spy is an exceptional establishment that comes highly recommended for those seeking delectable cuisine of the utmost quality. The ambiance is truly remarkable, and the attentive waitstaff exude a sense of politeness, professionalism, and friendliness. The interior design is captivating and will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. It is without a doubt that one will be compelled to visit this establishment again in the near future.
Visited here on Saturday for the third time. This is a lovely bar with a great atmosphere, lovely decor and drinks presented in a special way. The staff are very attentive and ensured that our special birthday celebrations were catered for fully. Just a lovely place to spend a couple of hours with friends and family.

Been to Dry Spy two or three times and had drinks in the roof terrace. Always nice. Decided to try the food with drinks Saturday 22nd July. Staff were friendly enough. We orders three flat breads which arrive tasteless with no dips. When the main course came the fish from my fish and chips rolled in the middle of the table from my plate that was tipped by the waitress. I sat and waited for the waitress to offer another fish was cooked, but no I got an I’m not picking it up response. The young and I assume inexperienced waitress did apologise, but I would have expected a table visit form the manager after she had reported the mistake. The food was average at best and the experience was spoiled. Won’t be returning for food.

The overall experience was delightful, except for the choice and volume of music. While fast, loud music might enhance evenings with cocktails and beer, it seemed out of place during a Sunday lunch. At times it verged on being comical; we couldn't decide whether to eat our Yorkshire pudding or grab some glowsticks! Nevertheless, the Sunday lunch and service were excellent, with generous portions of tasty, hot dishes beautifully presented. However, the lack of a vegetarian roast option was a slight disappointment. It would be wonderful to see what the chef could create for vegetarian and vegan diners. Despite being too full for dessert, we had planned to try one of the tempting cocktails before leaving. Unfortunately, like others before us commented, the music was off-putting. I hope the Dry Spy will consider playing more background acoustic or 1920s themed music for Sunday afternoons. We would love to return with our family, but not while it feels like a 90s rave flashback. After a long week of work, a girl simply wants to relax and enjoy a lunch and good conversation. Sunday vibes, please!

We held our daughter’s 18th birthday party at the Dry Spy last night. We hired the terrace area and had the 7 piece food menu. It was a risk having so much open area with the weather but there was large umbrellas put up and heating in the party area. It was actually quite nice to be able to get some fresh air. I’ve got to thank the lovely staff at the Dry Spy who made Maria’s night so amazingly special!! Emily was so helpful getting the party area ready, nothing was too much trouble. The food was so good and our family and friends really loved the food. The bar staff were also so lovely!! Everyone loved the really cool venue and the resident DJ got everyone up dancing. What an absolutely fantastic night I’m so happy! X

The Dry Spy has a sort of Great Gatsby mixed with Speakeasy vibe to it. Really nice interior and great looking drinks menu, with a great range of cocktails and beers, plus their special cider which goes down well. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, I would not recommend going if you do not enjoy relatively loud music! The servers were all polite and accommodating, and although they brought out one or two wrong things, they rectified this in a timely manner. The only drawback to this place was the food. The food servings are quite small in size, and was unfortunately a bit bland. The presentation was immaculate, but I'd have expected a bit more of a richer taste with the smaller servings. (Please note I have heard wonderful things about their Sunday dinners on the other hand, just to bare in mind). Summary: great place for a vibrant, lovely atmosphere and great bar, but food could be improved.

We made our second visit to the Dry Spy this year, on one of their event evenings. We were there for ‘Magic at the Table’ with a set 2 (£16.95) or 3 (£22.95) course menu. 3 choices were on offer for each course. The magician Wayne Humpries was amazing with his sleight of hand card tricks and banter 100% recommend him. The drinks were outstanding and the food was good although gunpowder potatoes were a little under cooked and not spicy but the sea bass and the beef pot pie were delicious. Gravies were a little too salty for our tastes but the drinks helped there! The staff are brilliant and the venue is lovely but there weren’t many patrons which was a shame. We felt that better advertising would help tremendously. I signed up as a club member at the end of last year but have received no event information and we only knew about this event due to a flyer picked up on our last visit. The open table booking system works well, however the information on the venues website is lacking in detail about each event. A proposed menu and descriptions of the events would offer clarity and I suspect many more bookings. All in all we had a wonderful time and we look forward to our next visit with excited anticipation.

Loved it. We had the pleasure of a 'bottomless brunch' here recently. We had not been previously and booked it on a last-minute impulse. We were not disappointed . Once the menu options had been explained we enjoyed a 'full English' plate which was a smaller version of the traditional breakfast made with top quality ingredients. The advantage of the smaller plate is that the menu also provides sweet breakfast options. We chose the blueberry pancakes and French toast with lemon curd, both with thick Greek yoghurt. Drinks were included and we enjoyed a variety of mocktails. Superb food, attentive friendly service.

Where to start this gem? From the website, the ordering process was super easy. But the kids loved the look of the food and wanted to go in, so we booked and headed over. Lots of parking near by. Walked into the restaurant and it was a very nice atmosphere. We were greeted quickly, lewis and Minnie went above and beyond throughout our entire visit. The kids were spoken to by each server, which they loved. The food was amazing. The OG Burger is mouth watering good! The pizza's are so moreish! We quickly ordered and the food arrived very quickly. It was cooked beautifully and full of flavour. The owner popped by and asked how we found the food, we told him it was amazing. The kids took interest in the oven, I explained how it worked. But Minnie and the owner got them involved in a pizza making session. It was do heart warming. The kids loved it. The business is run professionally and without any hiccups. The food tastes amazing. They've gained a customer for life now. If it isn't me, it definitely is my kids. Thank you so much to all of the team. What a wholesome and enjoyable experience.

Came here for drinks and an early birthday celebration. Wonderful friendly staff who were an absolute pleasure. 2for1 cocktails were very tasty and the food was delicious. I had 2 items from the small plate menu those being the pork belly bites and the meatballs. Very tasty

Great food and staff. I had the large blue cheese chicken wings, which had about 9 pieces. It was actually a mix of thighs and wings but still good. Gunpowder fries are great. Chicken strips are good quality. DOG FRIENDLY! Don't sit by the door/front of restaurant, really cold due to aircon. Upper part of restaurant is much better

Dined at Melt yesterday with my son and his classmates, totaling a group of 15. Despite the large party, the service was impeccable and the food, absolutely delicious. Each dish was a hit, showcasing quality and freshness. The staff made our large group feel welcome and managed our dining experience smoothly. Melt has become a favorite for good reason, and after this visit, it’s easy to see why. Highly recommend for any group size!

Been a couple of times now and can’t fault Melt. The food is always good, service speedy and friendly (bonus - they always bring the kids stuff out first!) and the soundtrack is normally 00’s/10’s indie, which is fully my jam. Highly recommend!

I went here last week with friends for a birthday celebration. We had such a good night, the food and service was amazing. Naomi and Fran looked after us all so well, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you both for making it such a special night. Chrissy

A massive thank you to Annie and the team who accommodated 20 of us for my birthday get together. Annie was so supportive and professional which made the booking process so easy and seamless. Everyone enjoyed themselves, the food was great and enjoyable. Slightly disappointed with the chips but made up by the amazing chicken strips and cauliflower bites 😋 I would definitely recommend melt specially for larger party’s and group bookings perfect for it! Thank you so much team Melt

We have been twice now and have had amazing meals. We have tried the majority of the menu between us and it is all amazing. Truly a great place to eat and great environment too. Cocktails are top quality and the peanut butter pie is to die for!!! Jake F has served us both times and has been great, always happy to recommend items on the menu too. Fast service. Great food and staff. What more could you ask for!

Been meaning to write a review of this place for a while. My wife and I have been many times since it opened and have brought friends and family along too. We have never been disappointed - it is one of the best and most reliable places to eat in Bromsgrove. The atmosphere is great, staff friendly and the quality and variety of food and drink on offer is excellent. It’s great value too and service is always fast. I hope it continues to do well, if it was somewhere in Birmingham or London it would be fully booked 7 days a week but I feel in Bromsgrove it is still a little unknown. If you’re thinking of giving it a try, go, you won’t be disappointed. And pass on recommendations to others too as Bromsgrove needs this and more similar places like it on its ailing high street.

It's been a while since I've been here. The food, particularly the salads which were a little bit basic, has improved. I had the pizza cinque which was perfect. Lovely thin base and great topping. Very attentive service as well.

After me and my boyfriend first came in two separate occasions and told to come back, we were turned away again, but the third time was such a delightful experience with the amazing offers, the extraordinary tasting shakes and food, the lady was so nice and informative to us both, we literally had smiles on our faces the entire time despite there being no one around, the place had a nice atmosphere. Overall it was an amazing experience despite getting turned away and everything, i would definitely come here again.
