Kababish Sutton Coldfield

Best Of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "The Posher Side Of Indian Cooking"

We first discovered Kababish when we were celebrating the end (and payment!) of a large and very long winded job which Mark had undertaken, so we decided to try an Indian restaurant in Sutton Coldfield which we'd been thinking about using for a while.The first thing I noticed when we arrived was how large the interior of Kababish was; from the outside the restaurant has the appearance of simply being a large house but the size of this place is really deceptive. The ceilings are very high which makes it seem even bigger but the clever way in which the tables and chairs have been laid out makes the most of the space inside, and while it appears that diners are crammed in there's actually ple...Read More

Restaurant | "'Reserve' Yourself A Table!"

After a long walk around Sutton Park with three boisterous children on a hot sunny day, a nice cold lager is definitely called for. So thank god for La Reserve, an upmarket pub/restaurant located inside the park itself. From the outside it looks gorgeous, particularly when visiting at night as the low level lighting is very pretty and calming. La Reserve has a wonderful backdrop, being situated in front of the largest pool in the park and flanked by woodland on all sides. Gorgeous. The small patio area at the front of La Reserve is fantastic for when you're simply stopping off for a quick drink, it's well shaded thanks to some strategically placed exotic looking trees and Thai ...Read More

Farmer John's

Restaurant | "A Different Pub By Day Or Night"

Quote:
One of the main reasons we use The Farmer Johns so regularly is because they have a fantastic menu at very good prices, meaning it's often cheaper for us to eat here than to buy a joint of meat and cook at home. During the week you can buy an all-day breakfast for just £3.49, this is an absolute bargain as the meal you get is the same in size as I'd usually expect to pay £5 - £6 for in other pubs of this type. This is actually one of my favourite meals from The Farmer Johns as it's wonderfully filling and possibly the best hangover cure I've ever tried (and believe me, I've tried lots!) – bacon, sausage, fried eggs, grilled tomato, chips, beans and toast all jostle for space on your plate ...Read More

The Fox & Dogs

Best Of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "This Isn't Going to the Dogs!"

Quote:
This pub is a large building separated into three different areas; the restaurant, bar and children's soft play area. The restaurant area is spacious with plenty of room between the tables and wide aisles allowing unhindered wheelchair and pushchair access. The bar is a smaller room, affectionately dubbed 'the locals bar' because it has a less formal atmosphere than the restaurant and does seem to be populated by people who use this as their local boozer. In the bar is a large TV tuned to one of the various football matches which were happening last night, also a Pool table and plenty of seating for customers who are just going in for a drink rather than eating. The Fox & Dogs operate...Read More

Beggars Bush

Best Of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "I'm Not A Beggar - But I Love This Place!"

Quote:
Legend has it that the name of this pub, Beggars Bush, originated in the early 19th century when a beggar died lying underneath a landmark Hawthorn bush situated on the site of what is now the pub. The bush is long gone, but the pub actually had a battle on its hands last year when John Barras (the new owners) wanted to change the historical name. The mega company eventually gave into local pressure however and the name remains. Despite the fact that this pub now comes under the all-encompassing Barras brand, the Beggars Bush has retained its character and is very much a 'local boozer' as it has been for many years. Inside the pub is a very trendy and modern layout, it's comple...Read More
