Afternoon tea

Join us in Restaurant 178 and tuck into our British inspired afternoon tea, including seasonal savouries, homemade sweet delights and fresh warm scones. All served with your choice of tea or coffee (or add some sparkle from our Bar menu).

Our Summer Menu is now live - think bright colours, fruity flavour combinations, the right amount of savoury and all homemade!

Sunday lunch

Great wines, delicious local produce and expert cookery are essentials to our West Midlands Sunday lunch. This Summer we're owning home-style luxury - think deliciously herby grilled chicken, salt aged beef Sirloin, fruity bread & butter pudding and of course our 'don't be shy' policy - so if you need more veg, gravy, a cheeky Yorkie or another scoop of our homemade Tiramisu to finish, all you have to do is ask...

2 courses just £32.50 per person this July & August!

    Our separate vegan and vegetarian menus change regularly, and all dishes which can be adapted for gluten-free diets are highlighted on our menus.
