About Olton Tavern
Olton Tavern is an Ember Inns pub in Solihull on Lode Ln, open daily, with a bowling green alongside the building. Sunday nights are given over to SpeedQuizzing and Rock 'n' Roll Bingo, and live music comes around monthly. The pub also hosts seasonal garden festivals and themed weekends. On the menu, burgers include the Ultimate Burger and a Cheese and bacon burger, and breakfast is served. The Sky Sports area is separate from the dining area, so the match screens sit apart from the tables where meals are served. Parking is plentiful, and a third party manages the car park, with a tablet by the entrance where drivers enter their registration.

Customer Review Summary
The caveat is food temperature and consistency. One diner found the vegetables cold and dried up and the mash luke warm and dry, though a replacement of the vegetables arrived hotter. Another had a meal that was warm rather than hot, asked twice for dessert, and found the younger staff unresponsive. A party of 12 at a Christmas meal describes slow service between courses and roasted potatoes too hard to cut. One reviewer also objected to a dog being lifted onto a bar stool.

“It was quiet considering it was a Sunday. The food tasted very nice but was warm not hot which spoiled it .I had to ask twice for my dessert which I ordered with my meal. When asked if everything was ok I said the meal was not hot and the reply was sorry about that . I find the young staff unresponsive, they dont speak to you .They put your meal on the table and walk away . So overall a bit disappointing”

“We were going on holiday flying from Birmingham a couple of hours after the England v Mexico world cup game and coming down from Sheffield we wanted a pub close to the airport who was showing the game and serving food. I found this pub on google and i just want to say what a great pub this is. On arrival, our online booking confirmation (we booked on the day) for a table had not gone through at the pub. The lady we spoke to on arrival could not have been more accommodating. As all tables were reserved, she still found us both a table for 2. The staff were very friendly and chatty, the pub had a great atmosphere, and the food we had was spot on. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone. We spent 8 hours in this pub before our flight. Thanks again to the staff.”

“Great service and hospitality from Adrian and the staff here at the Olton Tavern. Spent a couple of hours here today enjoying the facilities and atmosphere with friends. Food coming from the kitchen looked top notch and I'll be bringing the wife back soon to enjoy a meal. Lovely place... Plenty of parking Damian”

“Just had a Christmas fare meal at the olton tavern a party of 12so we was put in a side room which was fine till it came to the meal then it just seemed as if they forgot about us. The service was especially slow between course's and the food was not very good to say the least the roasted potatoes were so hard nether fork or knife would get in to them .I certainly will not be going back there again”
