Quick info
About The Hayes Bar, Cafe & Training Pitches
On Redhill Rd in Birmingham, The Hayes Bar, Cafe & Training Pitches sits at the Alvechurch FC training pitches alongside on-site padel courts. The menu runs to straightforward plates, including a fish finger sandwich, a bacon, sausage and egg sandwich, and toast served thick. Dogs are welcome in the seating area. Parking is on site, and drivers are asked to enter their registration plate at a touch-screen on the wall or scan a QR code inside the cafe to avoid a fine. The door is frequently left open, so the seating area can run cold, and the seating itself is functional rather than notably comfortable. The setting suits visitors already at the training pitches or courts rather than a standalone destination stop.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly naming the bacon, sausage and egg sandwich and thick toast alongside the fish finger sandwich, all praised as hot, fresh and quickly served. Close behind, several describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, with one recalling a night out at the bar as among their best. A few also flag the venue as clean and relaxing, and one notes the pitches are reserved for one club's players rather than open to local youth. A recurring complaint centers on parking: two reviewers report unexpected fines after failing to register on an in-cafe touchscreen or missing a QR code that would have allowed free parking, both saying staff never explained the system until after the fine arrived.

“As much as I enjoyed the food a week later I received a parking fine for £100 but if you scan the QR code in the cafe you park for free but nobody informed me of this until I went back to complain. The machine to register your NO: plate had not arrived yet. so please scan the QR code as staff neglect to tell you and your meal will be a lot more than you think.”
