  “Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with our visit this evening. We had previously written following a poor experience on 31st July 2026 and, as a result, had not returned until tonight. Sadly, this evening’s experience was equally disappointing, if not more so. We both ordered the beef croquettes to start. The presentation has noticeably changed and, in our opinion, has been cheapened. The croquettes themselves appeared greasy, almost as though they had been defrosted or cooked in excessive fat. For our mains, I had the lamb, which was both warm and cold in different parts of the dish, which was very disappointing. We also had the fish and chips, which seemed noticeably different from what we have previously experienced. The fish was grey in colour and certainly did not resemble the quality we have come to expect. Even the bread and butter were disappointing. The bread was simply brown sandwich bread, which we would not expect when dining here and which we sent back. The butter was also served straight from the fridge and was far too hard to use. What makes this particularly frustrating is that we had already raised concerns following our previous visit. We genuinely hoped that things would have improved, but unfortunately, tonight’s experience suggests otherwise. We were so disappointed that we actually sent our second bottle of wine back to the bar and decided to leave. It is extremely disappointing to see what appears to be a decline in food quality and standards, particularly when this was previously a place we enjoyed and expected much better from. This was another £100 spent on a meal that simply did not meet the standards we expected. I sincerely hope the management takes these concerns seriously and looks into what has happened. Another generic email from the management afraid to say we've lost confidence in this place now they’re riding high on location and the building!”

  “We booked a table for lunch for two in advance and, once again, had a wonderful experience. The food was expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The service was attentive and friendly without ever feeling intrusive. We have dined here on several occasions and are always impressed by the consistently high standards. The Roe Deer never disappoints, and we look forward to returning again soon. Be sure to take a moment to enjoy the lovely gardens as you make your way to the restaurant from either car park, especially the delightful wildflower area, which is well worth admiring.”

  “Booked for our wedding anniversary dinner, just the two of us, we were welcomed straight away, table booked for 19:15 arrived 19:00, seated straight away to a lovely table in the back of the restaurant, lovely spaced out tables, windows open and fans on (purely because of the heat outside) We had Joe as our waiter, he was very polite and helpful thoughout the night. We ordered a round of drinks, which were on the house because it was our wedding anniversary, very nice touch, the food was outstanding, generous portions all hot and fresh, we were weren't rushed between courses, very relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend for a nice meal out or special occasion. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you team & Joe for a lovely night for our wedding anniversary”

  “Had a really nice meal at The Roe Deer in Stourbridge. The food was fresh and well presented, the atmosphere was cosy, and the staff were friendly and attentive without being over the top. Service was quick and everything felt well organised. Definitely a great spot for a relaxed dinner or drinks with friends.”

  “Had a wonderful Sunday dinner here with family while they were in town. Everything was delicious and I cannot wait to try more of their menu. The lamb shank was perfect and I loved the chorizo mussels. They even have a menu for dogs! Gorgeous property and atmosphere as well. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.”

  “The roe deer was recommended by a friend so was our first time visiting. The restaurant and the grounds are stunning, very scenic with lots of trees and out of the way. Inside the decor is beautiful. We made a reservation a few days prior, visited on a Saturday evening, was moderately busy. The staff were amazing-polite & attentive. Fair selection of food and drinks on the menus, the wait was around 30 minutes on food- The dishes were delicious- good portion sizes, a little pricey but worth every penny. We will definitely be returning to try other dishes on the menu. Thank you”

  “Great, hearty food with excellent vegan options. It's a bit on the pricey side but the staff are all lovely and the building is amazing, especially at Christmas time. It's a really nice atmosphere inside. We had a great lunch and look forward to coming back.”

  “What a fabulously, authentically, antique restaurant this is😃!, my family and i find this venue to be a pleasure to spend time together as it is relaxing. The staff are friendly and attend your requests despite how busy they get, you will always seem them on their feet completing tasks. I cannot and most likely wont get over how stunning the exterior and interior design is🤩. I think many people that also come here as often as my family and i would agree. The garden grounds are always as green and bright as ever too so whoever keeps on top of the gardening duties really knows how to help nature flourish🥰 I appreciate how clean everything looks in this building and outside looks well taken care of😌 I find the drinks to be a bit over priced for the value. I haven’t eaten here yet but i do look forward to coming back again for another one of my family’s regular ‘get togethers’ so i can experience the food next time😇 The videos i displayed are from our most recent attendance on the 24th of Dec 2025. See you soon😁”

  “I was there for the first time and I'm really impressed. Beautiful old mansion, lovely Christmas atmosphere. They also have a special Christmas set menu from 28th November. I loved all my food, but the Tiramisu (which is my favorite dessert and I try it everywhere around the world) was too dry and plain with little flavor. Otherwise, everything was delicious, gourmet, and wonderfully presented. We'll be back, that's for sure (with a different choice of dessert)!”
