Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch is the most frequent reason reviewers visit, and several describe a roast that was perfectly cooked and served quickly even without a reservation. Close behind, diners praise the Steak and Ale pie with mash, the gammon with chunky chips, and the Cod & chips with Truffle Parmesan fries, with the Korean Chicken and Garlic Mushrooms also singled out. One reviewer was pleased to find Abbott ale on tap. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, welcoming and efficient, and the outdoor seating gets mentions on sunny days. The children's menu earns a nod, though one parent found the burgers a little small, and a separate reviewer wanted bigger portions for the value. The sharpest complaint comes from one Sunday lunch diner who found the veg cold and hard and the meat dry. They sent it back, and the replacement fish batter was dripping in fat, though the chips and peas were nice. Another reviewer's family finished with brownie and ice cream, which the kids enjoyed.

“Hidden gem not far from Birmingham. Highly recommend this pub! We visited for Sunday dinner and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely lovely—perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and exactly what you want from a proper Sunday roast.The service was equally impressive. Every member of the staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive.On top of the great food and service, they have a lovely outside seating area which is perfect for a relaxing drink. It is a brilliant hidden gem just outside Birmingham. We will definitely be back”

“We visited Mare & Colt for the first time and honestly had such a lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. To start, we ordered the Soup of the Day, which was a farmhouse vegetarian soup, and the Garlic Mushrooms. The soup tasted fresh and homemade, full of flavour and perfect to start the meal. The garlic mushrooms were absolutely delicious – creamy, full of garlic, and cooked perfectly. For our mains, I had the Korean Chicken while my partner ordered the Cod & chips with Truffle Parmesan fries .The cod was lovely and flaky with a really light, crispy batter, and the chips were cooked just right. The Korean chicken was packed with flavour and had the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. We both finished our meals with nothing left on the plate! What really made the visit stand out was how attentive and friendly the staff were. They checked in on us without being over the top and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our meal. It’s not often you leave a restaurant already talking about what you’ll order next time, but that’s exactly what we did. Great food, generous portions, excellent service, and good value for money. We’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend Mare & Colt to anyone looking for a great place to eat in Kidderminster. A well-deserved 5 stars!”
