The White Swan Sollihul - Solihull

When we came for lunch, the restaurant was heavingly busy. They appeared to be seriously understaffed, however the young lady taking the orders was super efficient and apologetic (unnecessary not her fault). Imagining that there would be a long wait for the food, it arrived within 10 minutes, hot, nicely presented and very tasty. One of us had fish and chips it was on of the best pieces of fish that we have ever had!

The whole place looked grubby and . Vacant tables left with empty glasses and dirty plates. The upholstery on the chairs was stained. Paintwork chipped and wall decoration doesn't look as though it hasn't been decorated for years. My first choice wasn't available (Fish and chips), the replacement, chicken burger was just not pleasant. Steak and kidney pudding lacked a main ingredient, kidney. Whilst it tasted of kidney only one piece found in the quite small pudding. Prior to Covid we regularly visited here for lunch and never had any issues. This was our first visit since March 2020. Sadly we will not be returning. Whilst I understand times are hard for hospitality this venue seems uncared for.

We were in Solihull for a long weekend, during which we met up with family on the Saturday afternoon. We popped into The White Swan on the Friday late afternoon after we arrived to find out whether we could book a table for the following day. Unfortunately this wasn't possible but instead we arrived slightly early so that we could try to get some tables together. This worked out exceedingly well as we timed it just as a large group were leaving! There were 11 adults and 2 children and the staff were very patient with us. Some of us were going to the bar to get our drinks, whilst the younger ones were ordering from the table on the App! However the staff were very friendly, helpful and still smiling! Some of our group ate and thoroughly enjoyed their pizzas. Thanks to the staff for making our family get together so enjoyable even though we might have been quite noisy.

I’m just her to tell you that Amy, Lilly and Carter need a pay rise, they’re amazing accommodating staff members.
