About Willow Mere Green

Willow Mere Green is a Mediterranean restaurant on Mere Green Rd in Sutton Coldfield, serving breakfast through evening meals with dishes prepared to order. The tapas menu runs alongside recurring plates such as lemon and oregano chicken skewers, and steak is offered only "pink" or well-done, with no range in between. An allergen menu covers dairy-free and vegan options, including a chocolate tart or vegan cake, and poached eggs can be requested with a firm white and soft yolk. Coffee comes with a coconut milk option, and a non-alcoholic mojito sits alongside the drinks list. A discretionary service charge of around 8% is added to the bill, and the room fills up with a lively atmosphere at busier times. Dogs are welcome throughout the space.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the poached eggs, cooked to a soft, runny yolk, alongside standouts like the lemon and oregano chicken skewers, the Middle Eastern Vegan Brunch, and a rump steak served with spicy chilli peppers and fries. Sticky toffee pudding and the triple chocolate brownie draw praise, though a few note dairy-free and vegan dessert options are limited to a repetitive chocolate tart. Drinks fare well too, with the spicy margarita and a non-alcoholic mojito both mentioned favorably. Service is mostly called welcoming and attentive, with staff stepping in to guide a diner through an outdated allergen menu, though it's inconsistent: one visitor describes slow drink service with no check-ins, another found one staff member curt while a colleague was pleasant, and a third reported an unrequested tip added to the bill. Food quality also varies occasionally, with one reviewer's chicken pasta called dry and tasteless. Several reviewers mention returning again, and one recalls a personalized anniversary card left waiting at their table.

    “We visited Willow at Mere Green for a celebratory lunch with friends, and overall, we had a fantastic experience. We had both a dairy allergy and a vegetarian in our party. The allergen menu appeared to be out of date, which caused a little confusion and a brief moment of panic while ordering. However, the staff were absolutely brilliant. Just as I was preparing to make a meal out of side dishes, our server stepped in, carefully talked me through the available options and made sure I had a proper meal. The lunch I chose was amazing. The food was gorgeous—full of flavour, beautifully presented and served at a lovely pace, so the whole lunch flowed effortlessly. There was also a great selection of drinks, and the spicy margarita was divine. Only one person in our party had dessert, but as a true connoisseur of sticky toffee pudding, his very high praise was praise indeed! Like many restaurants, Willow could still improve its dairy-free and vegan dessert choices. The only option was a chocolate tart, which seems to be the standard offering everywhere and can become a little repetitive and tiresome. That said, I would absolutely recommend Willow 100%, and I will definitely be returning. The atmosphere and beautiful surroundings have been given just as much attention as the food and customer service. Willow really is the complete package, which is increasingly rare to find.”

    “Came with a friend for breakfast on 12th May. Our server Sam was welcoming, attentive and polite. Quickly bought water to our table, and gave us time to settle in and chose our meal. The food was delicious. Request re cooking of poached egg with firm white and soft yolk was followed. Bacon was crispy as requested. Non alcoholic ‘mojito’ was lovely, as were our coffees. Our first visit to Willow, but definitely not our last!”

    “Gina was our server and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Our friends were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, and there was a card waiting on our table, which was a lovely touch. I can't fault the food, service or price. We will definitely return!”
