Reviews
Perfect place, I like the design and it's so spacious. You can find toilets upstairs and so clean and organised.
In terms of food, fish and chips with a side and drink was cheap, and crispy and delicious.
Steak was okayish.
They have so many options for drinks. I didn't know there are 8-9 options of cider:)
Stuff are friendly, helpful and cheerful
Definitely I'll come again
Having only opened in December 2021 - replacing a former Navigation Inn - it’s already in the 2024 Good Beer Guide. The Windsor Knot Pale Ale I had certainly merits the entry.
As an added bonus as well as two beer gardens, there is plenty of car parking although it’s Pay & Display and limited to 3 hours.
A straightforward 15 minute walk from Kings Norton 🚂 station.
This is a recently opened, refurbished establishment. Smells new and clean. Quite important, post-Corona!! Also "It's huge", inside. It has different drinking/dining zones, some with windows, some more secluded, some under a roof window. Dependant on your mood, you can situate yourself in a suitable area. The kitchen is right to the back, out of the way. The bar is also in a separate zone. I went there for breakfast on bank holiday Monday and it was Packed!! Not entirely full, but definitely buzzing. Food was a lovely breakfast - a classic breakfast with coffee.no complaints.good old fashioned, what-you-set-up is-what-you-get standard food. 🍛. Lovely for when you want a breakfast meet up with friends and/or family.
Also - I must mention the toilets. They were immaculate and traditional/modern-day feeling. If you judge a place by the toilets, you will surely be very satisfied. And for further security they had CCTV in the communal handwash/sink area.
The other lovely detail - the pictures. Much of a nod to local history. So - to recap...
Excellent food 🍛,drink 🍸, toilets 🚽 and history lessons 📕. These will keep you coming back.
Defo the best spoons I've been to as far as service and food! We always order on the app and it's so quick and staff can't do enough for you: cleaning tables, serving quick and dealing with any problems. Obviously spoons has great value for money and the navi is the best in the area by far!
