Quick info
About The Yenton
On Sutton Rd in Birmingham, The Yenton is a bar and grill with a large car park, and drivers entering the premises key their number plate into a machine at the bar. Orders are placed at the bar counter, though table service brings food out once it's ready. Fish and chips comes as a two-for-one deal, and meals are pre-packed and warmed up rather than cooked to order, with children's meals typically arriving before the adults'. A terrace sits alongside the main room, and pool tables and darts are set up for use. Live sports play on the screens throughout. The overall format suits groups settling in for a match or a game of pool as much as a straightforward meal.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draws repeated praise, with reviewers calling it "really good" and "delicious" as part of a two for one offer. Close behind, several describe hearty food and quick-arriving meals, including a large birthday party where the children's meals came first and the puddings were described as "beautiful." One reviewer notes staff wiped down a table and provided separate cutlery after being told of a nut allergy. Complaints recur around inconsistent cooking and slow service on busy days: diners describe a burger as "lukewarm & salty," fries and onion rings as hard, and a katsu chicken that "seemed like it had been overdone or kept warm." One reviewer waited 45 minutes for dried out, pre-packed portions, though the business later responded with an apology and vouchers after the complaint was raised.

“I booked a table for 6 adults plus a 5 yearold and a toddler- for my sister's 85th Birthday. She had a wonderful time - we had a a very good waiter - didn't catch his name -who was very patient with us. The restaurant was very busy and we were told there was a wait for the meal but the children's meal came and the adults enjoyed watching the children eat their lunch before ours came. Everyone enjoyed their food and the puddings looked beautiful (I was sad I refused one). Because it was my sister's birthday we didn't hurry getting away and we stayed over our time booked. My sister livesin Walsall and the guests (apart from me) lived several miles away but they were very impressed with the service and the quality of the food. Thank You”

“It was just very busy as it was a lovely day outside which made everything take longer. We felt like they were rushing us for a table. The food was okay but the katsu chicken seemed like it had been overdone or kept warm for a while and my nachos was two spoonfuls of guacamole and salsa either side. It felt a little lacklustre and very rushed. I'm sure service is better on quieter days. Had to wait a long time to access the disabled toilets.”
Highlights
“Imposing chain pub with a terrace offering real ales and sizzling skillet dishes, plus sports on TV.”
