Cafe in Tamworth

“Very friendly staff. Extremely clean and the food was outstanding. Would highly recommend. Fantastic staff who make you fell welcome!!”

“Excellent pub about 12 minutes walk from Tamworth Railway Station. Seven cask beers on handpump when I visited including two stouts. Lots of outdoor seating some of it covered. The lovely C16/part Tudor building is home to Tamworth Brewing Company and its tap. The cosy upstairs rooms have Tudor features and the historic courtyard beer terrace to the rear offers striking views of Tamworth Castle. The Tamworth Tap won the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) National Pub of the Year in both 2022 and 2023!”

“Afternoon tea as a birthday treat all arranged by my son who lives in Australia. A perfect afternoon for my sister (who was in on the treat) and myself. Good choice of sandwiches, savouries, and cakes. Very pretty crockery, as much tea as we wanted. The service was excellent. We bought some of the cake home as there was so much. We have been here before and will certainly go again. As an added extra, my son arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be delivered during our tea.”

“Great if you like an old style pub. It's for anyone that likes to check out a great selection of craft ales. Food consisted of a selection of cobs. We had amply filled cheese and onion. Very tasty. Very friendly and obliging staff.”

“Had a jacket potato with cheese and beans. Amazing value for money, really friendly and accommodating staff. My go to place for lunch when I'm in Tamworth.”

“Second time eating here in the past month and both times the food has been amazing. Staff are polite and helpful and the venue has been tastefully refurbished. Our new favourite place to eat. Tha you all.”

“Good breakfast. We came quite late in the day, she threw on an extra egg. And the lady gave us each a sample of brownie and cake too. Lovely people”

“Great place close to town centre. Modern rooms and superb breakfast. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend eating here as well. The menu and food is fantastic.”

“Great little place run like a military operation by a group of lovely local women. Enough seating inside for about 20 people and a couple of seats outside. Was sat and served really quickly and had a nice full English. Nice atmosphere about the place too.”

“I went here based on one review that said the breakfast stick was 'insane'. It certainly was, and for £6 was pretty decent value.”

“The staff were very friendly and the facilities looked very nice. I was fortunate enough to be open mic night and got to enjoy some live music too.”

“We did Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun on Saturday. This lovely little cafe is just by the start/finish which had a roaring open fire burning inside. Unfortunately, it is quite small so we had to sit outside to enjoy our breakfast as not enough seating for our sizable group (but we did keep popping into to stand by the fire and warm out hands and smell the wood smoke!) Great value breakfast, and loved that you could have mushrooms on your bacaon or sausage sandwich, often not an option. And the small Full English included black pudding and coffe at just £6 Definitely recommended! (of course we also made a film of our day, you can watch that here: https://youtu.be/QMBA4nHzhkU )”

“Always love it here. Great food. Soft drink and alcohol. Recliner seats. Plus Costa Coffee.”

“Brilliant pub in the heart of Tamworth town. Great selection of gins, beers and ales. Excellent outdoor space. Nice clean toilets”

“Visited over the weekend and after reading older reviews i was not expecting much however I was pleasantly surprised, nice cosey clean country pub. Staff was extremely friendly and made sure out visit was enjoyable. Food was cooked to perfection. I was informed that the pub has been taken over by new managers and after speaking to the locals it seems they are doing a great job getting the pub back to how it should be. Thank you for a great evening. Will definitely be back again soon”

“Went for the boxing... a good night busy but well organised.”

“A lovely restaurant, the staff were friendly and helpful, loved the atmosphere, the singing along to the radio and the old songs gave it full ambience. The restaurant felt very welcoming, and relaxing, and the food was to die for! Having travelled afar over the years, we all said that this was the best for food that we’ve eaten, the mega breakfast was mega, and my god it was a joy to eat it, the paninis were also delicious, and this establishment is certainly one we will visit again.”

“Delicious well presented food freshly cooked to order. Served nice and hot which is important to me. Nice clean premises which is also a must. The prices are very reasonable too. The staff are really welcoming and I highly recommend this café.”

“Must visit, great food , helpful staff without any wait at all.”

“I must admit, I only popped in to use the cash point, of which there's 3 and all working, and the toilet which was fairly clean for 7.00pm, it looked busy, plenty of working tills and staff in sight. The trolley parks were tidy and a large clean car park. I cant comment on much more.”

“Popped in for quick lunch. Had the chicken tikka which was lovely. Staff were polite and the cafe was tidy.”

“Great micro pub, friendly atmosphere. Lovely selection of beers. Would recommend visit.”

“Cliffords Cafe in Polesworth : Where Time is a Suggestion ​Seven out of Five Stars (The Scale Cannot Contain It) ​In an era dominated by artisanal sourdough and oat milk lattes served in reclaimed terracotta, Cliffords Cafe in Pol stands as a magnificent, defiant monument to the way things should be. This isn't just a café; it's a sensory immersion into a highly specific version of coastal Britain, circa 1993, and we are blessed to be its devotees. ​Stepping into Cliffords is like being wrapped in a blanket woven from the aroma of frying bacon, damp dog, and industrial-strength floor polish. The atmosphere is less "curated aesthetic" and more "everything we've owned since 1985, artfully placed." The décor is a stunning collision of plastic tablecloths (wiped clean with the dedication of a professional chef, yet retaining the ghosts of countless jam spills), mismatched mugs, and local notices thumbtacked over other, older local notices. ​The Architectural Marvel of the Toastie ​The menu here is a masterclass in clarity. There are no pretenders, no spiralized vegetables, and definitely no "deconstructed" anything. You are here for the classics, and Cliffords delivers them with the gravity of a papal decree. ​The Toastie, in particular, deserves its own monograph. It is not just toasted bread and cheese; it is a thermal insulation device, a pocket of molten dairy sealed into a crispy, golden rectangle. It demands a four-minute cool-down period before consumption, as the interior temperature is scientifically engineered to cauterize any latent dental issues. The chips are golden, plentiful, and retain a perfectly crisp exterior—a triumph of frying oil technology. ​Service & Philosophy ​The service at Cliffords operates on a beautiful, Zen-like principle: "It’ll be ready when it’s ready, and not a moment before." This is not slow service; this is forced meditation. It encourages mindfulness, prompting you to truly appreciate the simple things, like the sound of the kettle boiling, or the sight of the same local fisherman reading the same local paper he was reading yesterday. When your mug of tea arrives—a brew so robust it could probably strip wallpaper—you feel a profound sense of accomplishment. ​If you require chrome finishes, silent service, or a charging port at every seat, you misunderstand the assignment. Cliffords Cafe is the real deal: a beacon of greasy, cozy, unpretentious perfection. Go, order the largest portion of something fried, and allow yourself to be transported. You'll leave feeling full, warm, and profoundly grateful for the lack of irony.”

“Great pub with an old school atmosphere, incredibly welcoming and friendly, as a tramping lorry driver away from home all week it's little gems like this that you find for an hour in the evening that keep you sane, thoroughly recommended”

“First time at The Old Bank House, came here for ciders as it showed up on the Realale finder App, they had 10 ciders on ! Really friendly welcome from the owners, it has lots of very nice rooms all decorated nicely with chandeliers and arm chairs. Highly recommended, will definitely com back again”
