Tourist attraction in Birmingham

“Nigel made our day out such a fun experience, making sure we got the most out of the time we had and seeing all aspects of the amazing car!! Additionally, all the staff were lovely and we felt very looked after. Thank you everyone ☺️”

“Beautiful park with pond. Ideal for a picknick. Not far from the city centre.”

“Proper pub. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Good choice of beers and gins. Food is not always available, but sometimes there are cobs. Crisps are on offer.”

“Quiet when we went on a Monday afternoon. Lovely beer garden with enough shade to protect customers from the hot sun. Toilet facilities are really nice. Pub gets really busy at weekends and evenings, so be prepared to stand and wait for a while to be served. Excellent Real ale selection. Dog friendly in bar area and beer garden.”

“Held a kids' 9th birthday party making pizzas. Absolutely fantastic! Lilly was an exceptional host. Nothing was too much trouble and made the whole experience fun for everyone! Definitely would do this again, highly recommended!”

“It's a wonderful park for walking, cycling, jogging etc. It has a tennis court as well as a football ground .”

“Great scenic place to walk around and get some great photos. For the most part, it is nice and quiet and only occasionally see people walking around through the trees. The exception is where there are roads nearby, where the day I went, there was a tatter scrap truck driving around with its siren call on full blast, which ruins the whole experience. The most popular area would be the bright quarry where you'll find plenty of fossils. To walk around the whole reserve is quite the workout, and there are steps leading to different parts, but the steps can be very steep and hard to climb. As you continue down into the reserve, there are parts where it goes to its lowest point that doesn't get much sunlight, so the ground may be muddy, but it's very nice around here. The alternative to this is to climb the steps to the highest points where you'll be able to see for miles. Had not been here for many years, but it's relatively unchanged. The only real letdown (and biggest change) is the Seven Sisters Caverns (or caves). The council has blocked off and filled in all the caverns with fences and rocks. They have ruined a historical landmark. Like the fences should be enough to keep people out, but to fill in caverns is just out of order. There used to be cave exploration parties in the past, but now is just a thing of the past. What's funny is the caverns are fenced off, but if you walk around through the trees, there are many many spots where there are considerable drops into very deep ditches that are just out in the open and not fenced off at all. If you fall through some of these, you're going to get hurt badly. Just stick to the path though, and you'll be fine. As for the quarry with fossils, I last went here over 25 years ago, and it might have been my mind playing tricks on me, but if you don't like spiders, then don't walk around the quarry towards the evening, as I remember seeing all the rocks suddenly swarm with hundreds of tiny spiders. In the daytime, though, you probably won't see any. The whole area is well worth the visit, and feels like a different country away from the normal everyday life of Dudley.”

“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”

“A lovely homely friendly pub .Food freshly cooked and hot . Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Prices amazing. Would recommend to everyone.”

“What a beautiful place for a walk and the visitor centre is superb and had a nice cup of Earl Grey (my favourite),they are really friendly people and welcome (well behaved) dogs. Went there with our 2 year old Dobermann and Drone camera to get some pics and had a wonderful morning .”

“Really nice clean park with plenty of space even when it was busy the day we went. Great for families and it is quite flat for those with any mobility problems. There is a small cafe there for light bites and good range of refreshments. They even offer a loyalty card for regular users. Fresh tasting coffee and reasonable prices.”

“Always a pleasure going to this beautiful cafe. Pleasant friendly staff and great food and drink. Highly recommend”

“I regularly visit this café, and I must say, it’s a hidden gem! The breakfasts are superb—flavorful and satisfying. The staff are not only polite and friendly but also incredibly efficient. Your orders are taken and delivered with a smile, and the speed of service ensures you won't be kept waiting long. The recent remodelling has transformed the cafe into a fresh, open space that feels both modern and welcoming. The addition of decking out front is perfect for those finer weather days, offering a lovely spot to relax and enjoy your meal outdoors. Prices are very reasonable, offering great value for the quality of food and service you receive. As an added bonus, there's a car valeting service right next door, making it convenient to get your car cleaned while you dine. (Which is why I visit regularly) In summary, I highly recommend this cafe for a visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a place that promises a wonderful traditional breakfast experience, especially if you're in the mood for a 'full english' or a tasty sandwich.”

“Wonderful food, good quality, varied menu, well presented. Friendly staff, nice restaurant.”

“Like to say how fantastic your security in the carpark, took my Granddaughter to her 1st game, she is only 7, hugging her wishing her the best time ever at Villa park. Like to say they are a credit to your lovely club,thank you.”

“Looking for a full English fry up with no half measures? then have no fear, sister’s cafe is here! This is a great traditional greasy spoon cafe. The ingredients are very good quality compared to having recently been to cafe’s where the standards have dropped noticeably with inflated prices. Despite this, Sisters Cafe have maintained a high standard in terms of food, service and reasonable pricing, as well as making you feel welcome upon arrival. Usually, I will go in and can never resist the Big Jim full English breakfast, priced at a very reasonable £7.50 for the full works. The toasted sandwiches are also great from here with a toasted hash brown, egg and mushroom sandwich being a favourite. I understand it is a difficult time for many small cafe businesses as they are struggling with rising business costs and foot fall. I really hope this cafe keeps its head above water and continues to grow and thrive in these difficult times. I highly recommend coming along and trying this cafe. Let’s keep supporting our small independents by starting with a breakfast here!”

“10/10 I’ve moved away from this area but anytime I’m here I visit this chippy , it’s one of the best top quality. And the girls have lovely manners . See u again soon”

“Great little shop. My order of Pita meal with chicken + fries and a drink was ready in about 15-20min. Slightly more costly than in other places, however, absolutely worth it. The pita was incredibly tasty, chips were one of the best I had in a long time, the garlic dip was amazing! Overall really glad I had a lunch here and really satisfied!”

“I have been a very regular customer of this establishment since it opened and must compliment the entire team as I strongly think this is the best team they have ever had currently (October 2025) They consistently provide excellent service and always give a warm welcome to all who enter the pub. Their ability to handle busy moments is second to none whilst keeping delightful, bubbly energy even when dealing with difficult or rude customers. From the Professionalism and care is what I can say is on display at this pub currently. The food is excellently cooked and would say the portion size is fantastic and well worth the money. My compliments to the Head Chef as I can see imagination and creativity whilst keeping it true to the menu. This includes buffets and large food orders without compromising the quality. The atmosphere was calm Plenty of space and is dog and child friendly throughout the day. Later on in the evening is also great as service is efficient and fast. The place is incredibly clean and I must say has a level of care that I have not seen from any pubs I have ever been before. No sticky floors, stains or disgusting toilets so I must show special appreciation to the cleaning staff. The facilities also are perfect for parties, work meetings or any type of gathering and is very easy to book. Currently the place has an excellent quiz for those who enjoy general knowledge with prizes for those in the top 3. For smokers or those who like to sit outside then the pub caters to these needs also. Overall I would say if you are in the area then it is well worth coming in as I think this is one of the best places in the city centre without having to break the bank regarding the prices. You will feel very welcome from the all the members of the team. If you have been here in the past and have not returned in a while then I think you will enjoy the pub more than ever at the time of me writing this.”

“My partner and I have recently visited Platform Three a few nights back after it was recommended to us. We always looked for places that have a warm and welcoming environment. The food we had was exceptional and the waiting and bar staff did a wonderful job of looking after us before and after our meal even though they were very busy, they couldn’t of done more for us. I would very much recommend this place to anyone who would like a relaxing evening. 100% would visit again!”

“Attended a private function at the Gongoozler and had a fabulous time. Really friendly and hard working staff. The buffet put on was great and the drinks service was good. Nice selection of local ales available. Really lovely location on the canal edge overlooking the BCLM. Wheelchair accessible as a 96 year old relative had no trouble accessing the venue in her wheelchair. Plenty of parking with an honesty box for donations.”

“Popped in for a pint and a cob today with the hubby. We were offered the special a hot pork cob with all the trimmings which we had along with a portion of chips it was all delicious and good value too. The new manager is very welcoming and friendly we will definitely be returning there.”

“This lovely local chippy is a favourite with my children. They always enjoy their kids’ meals, which are generous portions that are more than enough for them. The staff are always friendly and helpful, making it a great place to eat. I highly recommend it.”

“Really happy to see that the food is still delicious since the owners have changed. Really friendly staff and I hope you do well and maintain the high standards.”

“What can I say other than WOW!!! Amazing food and service when collecting. Whether you are new to Indian food or you have it a lot, the food is amazing.
