  “Nice to see an independent pub doing well in the city. Staff were friendly and keeping on top of cleaning tables. Comfortable seating and some music playing, screens were also on as expected in a sports bar, vibe was jovial but not rowdy so this was comforting. Would return and perhaps try out the food menu next time.”

  “We hired the entire pub privately for our wedding reception and couldn’t have been happier with Anthony and the entire team. They were so cooperative and flexible and did everything they could to provide the most perfect evening for us. We asked a lot of them in terms of accommodating various deliveries from suppliers throughout the day, storing our wedding cake in one of their fridges beforehand and moving lots of the furniture around, but nothing we asked for was too much for them and they were happy to let us arrange things however we liked. I’ve had nothing but good feedback from our guests, who enjoyed the welcome drinks and buffet and had great bar service all evening. Thanks again to the entire team - I couldn’t recommend the Old Royal highly enough for private functions. We’ll certainly be back for more parties in the future!”

  “Great example of a city centre pub quite the grunge! Good range of beers, comfy seating, sparklingly clean, mixture of locals and visitors (it seemed). Above average mainstream menu, tasty and fresh Ranch Salad and crispy chips, yum!”

  “Great pub, fabulous food and friendly staff. We had booked a table to have a meal and drink while we watched one of the England matches. Great atmosphere and the order at table service worked really well. Thanks for a wonderful evening 😊”

  “Not a single thing I can fault about this place. Had a mega mixed grill. Very generous plate full. Every meat was delicious, friendly gaffers, clean, modern but traditional pub, good low music, and about half full (14:30 Saturday). Excellent value at £18.25. Will definitely get my money again. Top find. Thank you.”

  “Popped in for a pint on my way to a lunch reservation elsewhere, as it seemed to be the only pub open before 12pm around that area. Pub looks lovely inside and out, staff were friendly and efficient. Only downside was groups of people already starting to get a little rowdy in there that early, but nothing major that would put me off visiting again.”

  “We looked at the reviews of pubs in Birmingham for somewhere different and this one looked like our type of pub so we went on a weekday lunchtime. When we arrived it was quite busy but we were greeted by one of the ladies behind the bar who recommended their 2 for £10.95 menu - when the fish and chips arrived we could hardly believe how good it was and how quick it was delivered - in fact I said to one of the ladies I cant believe you can do it for this price. The pub and toilets were so clean it was refreshing to find somewhere like this and we recommended it to our neighbours who went yesterday and made the same comments as us. The staff were so nice and helpful we cannot recommend it enough, so if you are in Birmingham give it a try you certainly wont be disappointed and if you want somewhere a little quieter try upstairs where there is a lovely lounge.”
