The Plough made such a good impression on me I just had to go back. I love the area, the pub, and…read morethe menu. Apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way. Shortly after finding a table in the late morning the crowds came in. If you plan on coming with a large group I recommend calling ahead to get reservations. They were serving the breakfast/brunch menu during our seating. I opted for the bacon pancakes. The food is presented just beautifully like the perfect instagram photo. And it tastes just as good. If you are a tea drinker you must order a pot just for the cute factor. All teapots come out dressed in little tea cozys. I wonder if they sell them as they all look homemade. My only complaint is that the food came old on the cold side. Perhaps it was due to how crowded it was, but it was like the food had been sitting out for a while. Regardless it still tasted amazing. I think prices for the Plough are affordable. If you have an Independent Birmingham card you receive a discount so keep that in mind. They have a beer garden out back that must be wonderful on sunny days..if we ever get any. I really want to get back there for lunch or dinner. And maybe try a cocktail if they have any. If you're ever in Harborne try it out.

A fairly relaxed atmosphere, with The Stag rarely being full to its capacity, leaving much of the…read morepub to be desired. Despite this, The Stag offers affordable food alongside it's affordable menu of drinks. The alcoholic beverages available are your standard beer, wine and spirits, with no frills offered and no frills needed. The pub is simple yet effective in its choice of decor, layout and drinks/food. Typical pub grub is served, which one rarely complains about, with good if not brilliant service accompanying it. The Stag, in my opinion is suited better to those of an older disposition, although younger adults have tended to head in during the weekend to meet up with friends and watch the football etc. Overall, The Stag offers a good service at a good price, no more no less, with a fairly simple style running throughout the organisation. Worth a visit, if only for a quick pint.

Reasonable prices and a fairly calm, almost low key atmosphere makes the Lighthouse a destination more suited perhaps to the older generation, without criticising it in the slightest. Without disrespecting the establishment in anyway whatsoever, the Lighthouse may not be considered worth a trip, if you were to live outside of the surrounding area, but for those who live locally, such as myself, there are much worse pubs that wouldn't appeal to me as much as this old pub does.

She was friendly and efficient and her customer service skills were excellent. The breakfast itself was also very nice and all well cooked. Great experience overall but the star of the show is little MIA !

I came to know of it when my cousin began DJ'ing there. They usually have promotions on drinks so chipping in on a pitcher cocktail is a pretty cheap way to spend the evening with friends. The bar staff are welcoming and accommodating. It gets quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights but their customer service remains great. The ambience is laid back and targeted towards over 20's as opposed to students. So generally it's a chilled out, sleek atmosphere. It's also a Beefeater Grill where the food is freshly prepared and deliciously English!

This chain of pubs in general are quite good good priced food nice staff. Had a really bad experience with this one. Ordered food which was a mix grill chicken burger and a child's sausage and mash. All of which were stone cold when we got them after waiting 40 mins. I wouldn't of minded but the place was pretty dead. When we got the food for a second time it was still cold overcooked. Had the same food at different harvester pubs was amazing . When we asked for management to complain he offered to cook it for a third time by then we had enough. They didn't charge us for the adult meals. Only on the way out did we get sorry about that from the manager as he walked passed . Really disappointed will not vist this chain again.
