Always enjoyed the food here, but it's generic fare on the weekends…read more Next door to Britain's exhibition centre, it's hardly. Not surprising that the chef takes the weekends off while the tumbleweeds and church bells ring in this desolate wasteland occupied by sales reps midweek. Gorgeous pub with great service. Average in the weekends. No footpath access

Located close by my UK office and nearby the NEC as well, this place feels like you are walking…read moreinto a close friend or relative's home. Very cozy feeling with fireplaces and comfortable chairs/couches. Honestly, this is exactly what I expect a typical British pub/eatery to look and feel like. This place offers quite a few different drinks on tap with wine and liquor as well. No comment on the alcohol here as I opted for water. The food is traditional British cuisine with a number of fish/vegetarian options. I choose the fish pie, which quite honestly, was disappointing. The vegetables on the side were limp and far from fresh (unfrozen and heated up without any flavorings at all). The fish pie was not filling at all and lacked flavoring as well. I hesitated in giving this place 2 or 3 stars and in the end decided it could be rated higher for the atmosphere and potential. I think I ordered a poor dish and should have gotten the fish and chips instead, so I'll be trying that out next time along with one of there many desserts (too bad there wasn't the time to eat a dessert!)

It's got a lovely atmosphere and is both family friendly (they do a nice menu at a decent price and it is packed for Sunday lunches) and ale drinker friendly, with the local Steamin Billy ales being on offer as well as quite often other ale selections. I would definitely recommend it, the only problem is its off road location is not convinient if you don't have a car!

My husband and I already heard about the food reputation of this pub so we trek to the village of Curdworth, in Coleshill, to meet his friend and wife for a perfect meal. We had been in Curdworth before enjoying other nice pubs in the area but I have to say, White Horse is a 5 out of 5 experience! Checking their deals, we decided for a Wednesday visit when there is a steak night when 2 meals + a bottle of wine costs £29.95. Considering the size and selection of steaks and also the the vast wine list, the meal was not pricey at all. This very cozy pub is an invitation for those who want to bring your family, partner or just want to treat yourself with good meal and good drinks. Update: I just forgot to mention this pub sponsors a local team called Coleshill Athletic which our friend Simon plays for and he probably will be very happy now that I mentioned it! So, go Coleshill Athletic!

The halloumi came with chips, mushy peas and a gorgeous gherkin relish. The gherkin relish was so nice, the waitress went and got some more for me! It was priced at £9.5o, so not cheap but definitely worth it. I had the Melba crème brulé for dessert, it was nice but I think I prefer my creme brulé as just that rather than with an added layer of sponge as this had. The pub has a feel of a countryside village pub so didn't really feel like I was by Birmingham.

A quaint English Pub backing up along the River of Tyne. This original Pub has stood since 1800, and has kept its rural charm and rustic character. I tried all of their local Ales, and all equally tasty. The food, while plain and simple, is just what is needed to satisfy the hunger brought on from the brisk fresh air of the country side. I did also notice that this is quite the hideaway for the local beauties, and as my roaming eye wondered, I found myself enjoying ALL of the local attractions.

Service was a tad slow when trying to pay and we had to go to the bar. All said though we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely make a return visit. It's also now on our list of places to take visiting guests. I had a vegetarian shepherds pie. with real veg! Believe me, it's rare not to get soy mince in these things so I was totally delighted. It was very tasty without being too salty too. Both big pluses in my book! xx
