About The Farm Inn
On Farmhouse Way in Solihull, The Farm Inn occupies an 18th-century dairy converted into a bar and separate dining room. The menu moves between classic and modern global dishes, with duck salad alongside recurring plates of fish and chips and salt and pepper chicken wings. A selection of beers and ales runs behind the bar, which stays busier and distinct from the quieter dining room. Reservations are required for a table. A marquee on site hosts events such as baby showers, and dogs are welcome throughout. A 10% service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary
The duck salad emerges as the standout dish, with one regular calling it a favourite and diners returning for it. Close behind, reviewers single out the fish cake with spinach, fish and chips, and salt and pepper chicken wings, along with a lemonade served by the bartender that one diner called one of the best they've had. Service is largely praised as friendly and welcoming, with one server highlighted for checking in and resolving a food mix-up, though a couple of diners found interactions generic, lacking the small talk of other restaurants. A birthday party without a booking was still welcomed on a busy night, and a baby shower event drew praise for the marquee and food. One reviewer reports finding a hair in their duck salad, and again in the replacement, describing the response as dismissive. Another diner objected to a 10% service charge added without being noted on the menu, questioning the meal's value.

“Fin was an outstanding bartender. He was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service from start to finish. The lemonade he served was genuinely one of the best I've ever had—perfectly balanced, incredibly refreshing, and made with real care. It's clear he takes pride in what he does, and it really shows. If you're lucky enough to be served by Fin, you're in for a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“Staff were friendly. Menu is a bit limited but the food was well cooked and presented. Good selection of beers/ales.Bill included a 10% service charge of which we couldn't find mention on the menu. At that level the meal was not value for money.”

“What an amazing day celebrating my sister-in-law’s baby shower at The Farm in Monkspath! 💕 From our very first point of contact through to the end of the event, everything was completely seamless. The staff were incredibly helpful, attentive, and provided exceptional service throughout. The marquee was absolutely stunning, and the food was outstanding. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, with so many saying it’s a true hidden gem. Thank you to everyone at The Farm for making the day so special and creating memories we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. ♥️”

“This place is lovely. It has such a good vibe to it, the staff are so friendly, and the food is AMAZING. We took recommendations from our server and it didn’t disappoint. I don’t live nearby but I’m already thinking of another excuse to visit the area so we can come back.”
