“Ali was really friendly and made sure everything went right with our meal , world class service and amazing food too will definitely be back xx we most definitely polished our plates !!”

“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!”

“Dropped in here today, fantastic! Will definitely be going back.”

“My family made a very picky and large order on a Sunday evening including vegan, vegetarian and meat curries. Not only was the whole order correct but it is by far the best Indian takeout in the area. The food was absolutely delicious and it was topped off by wonderful service. When ready, all the food was brought to my car for me and placed securely for me to get it home. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“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”

“Just brilliant! Arrived at 20:15 to a packed restaurant, every table taken. We were greeted by Ella and advised there would be a 15/20 min wait for a table and then a further 20/25 min wait for food but they could get an updated eta on food once seated. After a short wait we were seated and we ordered on the app. Our food arrived in 6 minutes, eating at 20:45. Every vacant table was cleared and cleaned instantly. All staff were lovely, all working extremely well together under the care of Ella. For a completely full restaurant they were running smooth as a whistle. Thank you.”

“excellent selection of wines, knowledgeable staff of the different varieties available and good recommendations when you want to try something new”

“Absolutely amazing people. They made us a fresh pizza after we had taken longer than expected to come back for collection - at no extra cost - and also threw in a drink for us for waiting for a fresh one. I felt like I should be the one apologising but they were more than happy to help me out.”

“Awesome. Great cozy place with good food. The staff are on a different level of awesome. This is how you do business right, attentive and careful, great cooking. Adding a Smash Burger on the menu would be an amazing addition.”

“Amazing. Jack and Lucy have made Dubberley Delicious private dining an experience not to be missed. Eight course fine dining menu tailored to our tastes, all prepared and cooked fresh in the kitchen next to your table. Nothing is rushed, we were there for about 3 hours, each course being explained with extra insight given into the preparation. Seasonal menu that prides itself on using local and British produce, even the Wagyu is from Welsh Wagyu cattle. Private dining isn't cheap, we paid a little over £135 each including drinks. Already checking our dairy to see when we can go again.”

“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.”

“I'm a regular customer, and the food is absolutely delicious! Always comes steaming hot, generous portions, and I can't even describe the taste! The flavours are beautiful and the meat just melts in your mouth. I will continue my custom absolutely!! See you soon!”

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

“1 day I experienced the delicious food from Miah takeaway & I’ve had 1 every week since. Words can’t describe how phenomenal their food is. I’ve eaten a lot of Indian meals & none are even close to the quality & taste that Miah provide. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are all fantastic. I genuinely can’t recommend them enough!x”

“Food is absolutely delicious everytime. Cooked beautifully and tastes amazing! Service is 10/10 and always so lovely, Thankyou!”

“I doubted family run Traditional Italian Restaurants after experiencing so so quality food and samey options delivered by overly passionate staff. Portobello Restaurant has put my faith back in the Italian culinary experience. On entering I was met by grounded, accommodating staff that ensured I was happy with the choice of table. Staff were smiley, chatty and assisted joyfully with the menu options. I opted for some nibbles and their excellently priced 2 courses for £19.95. The atmosphere in Portobello Restaurant is relaxed, sociable and family oriented. The minimalist artistic interior beams with natural light. Dishes were superbly presented, quality was evidently high. The jelly babies and hand written “thank you” on the bill echoed the care they provide to their customers. A wonderful experience.”

“This is a cracking pub, the service is first class and the beers generally good. Love it out the back in the summer as you don't have to climb those stairs.”

“The food is always outstanding and the staff are wonderful. BEST FISH AND CHIPS IN TAMWORTH...please keep it up.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Outstanding service and warm atmosphere at The Deanery Café From the moment we arrived, the experience at The Deanery Café was nothing short of fantastic. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and genuinely attentive, something you don’t find everywhere. A special mention goes to Daisy, our waitress, who was absolutely brilliant. She was handling multiple tables and customers with ease, like an octopus with eight arms, yet still managed to make us feel looked after. She even offered water for our dog, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel truly welcome. The food was excellent, and the coffee hit the spot perfectly. We couldn’t fault anything. The atmosphere was relaxed, cosy, and dog-friendly, everything you’d want from a local café. We’d come back here a thousand times. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Tamworth!”

“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”

“Best Chinese takeaway I have had”

“Love Sue's cafe always has great food and a good cuppa. I recommend to you all”

“Lovely friendly staff :) Tasty well priced good Good location for local offices, organisations Love the added bonus of tv and seating areas”

“We have recently tried the Sunday carry-away from Christopher Tamworth, and they are an absolute delight! The food is worth every penny, and the taste was amazing. The gravy was so good that you could practically drink it straight from the pot. And I can’t forget to mention that their sticky toffee pudding is the best I’ve ever had. The quality and flavours exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend giving their Sunday dinners and puddings a try; you won’t be disappointed!”

“Good food. Good staff. Nice place. We recommend a lot”
