The Best Restaurants in Aldridge, West Midlands, United Kingdom (2025)

I love this little gem! Breakfast, tea & a well deserved catch up after Soul yoga! Thank you to the very friendly sisters…. Heather & I’m afraid I’ve forgotten your sisters name! Highly rate this business on all levels! Thank you! See you real soon! XxX

This is the hidden gem of Walsall. The food is beautiful and the service is great. We had a wedding reception here and I have to say WOW!!! We had a 5 course fine dining sit down menu, every dish was perfectly presented and tasted fabulous, additionally the staff at the Littleton, they are simply terrific. They were immensely patient with all our requests and treated us with the greatest respect THANK YOU!!! I would definitely be coming back!

I can’t believe such a great restaurant is so tucked away, not spoken about and not busy every night it’s open! I highly highly recommend coming here, especially for the price! £35 for such high quality of food, 4 courses, is unheard of and well worth the visit. We’ve been meaning to come here a long time and it lived up to the expectations. The mains were by far the best part of of the meal, with the lamb dinner (of sorts) and mushroom risotto being the stars of the show. The jacket potato purée was divine btw! The starters were gorgeous too, but unfortunately the deserts didn’t quite hit the same bar. Despite this, the whole evening of food was thoroughly enjoyed, with healthy portions, good service and a nice atmosphere, although a tad quiet. With a large range of drinks options, and an comfortable interior easy on the eye, there’s really no reason you shouldn’t come! Great for larger groups and little celebrations :)

Very friendly staff who serve good food and drinks very efficiently. Thanks again

Wilsons Tea Room offers a charming atmosphere with expertly crafted teas and delicious pastries. The cosy setting and friendly service make it a perfect spot for a relaxing break. A must-visit for tea enthusiasts!

Went for breakfast then booked for lunch a few days later, friendly staff, great service highly recommend, advice to book as can get very busy.

Fab Tea room. Took my niece for afternoon tea. We are both stuffed! Great range of food options - really tasty! Will def be coming back! Thank you ladies!

Stopped at the Fairlawns after getting married down the road and for the short time we were there, the staff went above and beyond. They left chocolates in our room (which I'm pretty sure was upgraded too!!), with a lovely note congratulating us. Breakfast was lovely. Wish we had stayed there longer.

We had a fantastic wedding anniversary stay at Fairlawns over the weekend. The service was impeccable, from the moment we greeted the reception staff, to the health club staff, but especially from the restaurant and bar staff. They went out of their way to make this a most memorable weekend and we are forever grateful. The room was lovely (a complimentary upgrade which was a lovely gesture), the thermal suite facilities were excellent, and the food in the restaurant was truly stunning! We will definitely be back!! Thank you Fairlawns!

We attended a 70th Birthday party on Saturday and have to say the whole experience was fantastic. Outstanding food, excellent service and a brilliant room. The Oak Room fits only 16 people and it was the perfect venue for a small party to celebrate together. There was a separate vegan/vegetarian menu with some delicious choices for those with dietary requirements, and they also handled two of our party with a serious nut allergy perfectly also. Thank you to the team at Fairlawns, we will definitely be back!

My Husband and I booked an overnight stay in a deluxe room. I received an email upon booking to advise that the hotel hosts events/functions over the weekend and guests can sometimes experience noise until 12pm, so to contact the hotel if it was an issue. I did contact them and I was anxious about this, but they were polite and helpful and did reassure me that our room was situated in a quiet part of the hotel. Our room was situated on the opposite side of the hotel to the function, as advised on the phone (the function happened to be a wedding). We could hear some music in our room up until around 7pm (probably echoing in the wind), but after we returned from dinner, it was peaceful, no music or noise from other guests at all. We both had a very comfortable sleep, it was very quiet. The bed was very comfortable, room was clean and staff were all incredibly attentive, welcoming and friendly. The food and drink were also delicious. Staff in the restaurant went above and beyond and were all wonderful. Parking was also very easy - plenty of spaces. We had a great stay, thank you. This hotel is very well run.

Our first night at Laboni & had a lovely evening the food was very tasty in a nice friendly atmosphere thank you to the staff & the owner for making us feel much welcome great food great night will see you soon would highly recommend best Curry house in Aldridge & take your own booze happy days Clive & Angela

Good service, great food. Friendly staff. I like that you don't feel rushed or crowded in the restaurant.

Based on several reviews, I suggested to my mother in law we visit here and I’m so pleased we did as we both came away already looking to our next visit! We were greeted immediately, shown to a table, ordered from the breakfast menu and in addition enjoyed an afternoon take out cake since we couldn’t help wanting to try from the generous selection. A really delightful experience, lovely and welcoming staff and as for the food, it was just as it states on the door…Simply Delicious! We look forward to seeing you soon x

I visited here on a lunch break, and had a lasagne, I was served by a young gentleman (Chrys) the food was beautifully presented, He was very polite, the price was high, but the atmosphere was lovely and the place was lovely

Malabar: I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience visiting this restaurant. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly and attentive staff who make us feel welcome every time we walk through the door. To start our meal, we ordered ten popadoms (10 I know, my friend has a popadom addiction) which arrived at our table quickly, accompanied by a selection of delicious chutneys. The popadoms were crispy and light, making for the perfect start to our dining experience. For the main course, we opted for two chicken curries: the Chicken Tikka Curry and the Chicken Tikka Masala. Both dishes were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, with tender chicken pieces that simply melted in our mouths. The Chicken Tikka Curry was rich and flavorful, with a subtle spice that left us craving more, while the Chicken Tikka Masala was creamy and indulgent, with a hint of sweetness that complemented the spice perfectly. We also ordered the Bengali Lamb Curry, a dish that was new to us, but one that we'll certainly be ordering again. The lamb was cooked until it was tender and juicy, and the curry was rich and aromatic, with a complex flavour profile that was both exotic and comforting. To accompany our curries, we ordered a serving of Tarka Dhal, a delicious lentil dish that was the perfect balance of flavours. The lentils were cooked until they were soft and creamy, and the spicing was spot on, with a hint of ginger and garlic that added depth and warmth to the dish. To round off our meal, we ordered chips and naan bread, both of which were perfectly cooked and delicious. The chips were crispy and golden, while the naan bread was fluffy and soft, with a hint of charring that added a subtle smoky flavour. Overall, our dining experience at Malabar was exceptional. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend Malabar to anyone looking for a dining experience that won't disappoint. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt like we were in good hands, and we'll certainly be returning to Malabar again and again.

My new favourite restaurant in Aldridge. A lovely dining in experience. The staff were attentive to detail and very welcoming, the food was served piping hot and to specific request. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Everyone enjoyed their meals, apologies, no main meal pictures. My icecream pictured was really good. Service was friendly and prompt. Allowed to bring your own drinks. Would go again.

Excellent food and there is nothing the staff won’t do for you! We won’t eat anywhere else in Aldridge! The Railway Lamb Madras was exceptional.

The food is absolutely immaculate. It always come out in great timing, a little more on the spicy side. What’s more is that the portion sizes are very generous. There is nothing to fault about this grill other than the noise dampening, or the lack of it. I feel due to the nature of the rooms the noise echoes around. Sound deadening clouds would be a great addition but apart from that, be SURE to eat here. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity. :)

Absolutely fantastic Desi-pub... Haven't been here for years, so was very surprised by the amount of space it has. A good choice of curry type meals and grills at a reasonable price. Good choice of draught drinks at the bar. You queue up to order food, and again to order drinks... Seems to work well and the food came out quite quickly. The only gripe was the weird "dance" music being played too loud that made it difficult to have a conversation... Follow up visit... Not as good. Felt really rushed, they brought out poppadoms but no plates, then brought out plates and the mains within moments. Would not recommend the salad, it was tiny, mostly lettuce. However, the background music was better and not as loud (shame about the group of "grown men" behind us who were shouting and messing about ...)

The service alone gets this 5 We forgot an order and they got it out to us lightning quick so we could all eat together rather than wait. Jalfrezi and wraps were great. Food was amazing, very popular and good selections. Booking is a must. Thanks to the staff for keeping us in check and for great service.

Lovely place, Great atmosphere, Friendly helpful staff and food was amazing 😋 First time for a family meal, really good value for money and kid friendly

Have popped by a few times now. Plenty of parking and when it gets busy, there is an over flow car park too. Toilets are available if needed. The garden centre is large and has a lot to offer. Even has a lovely walk around the back. Or you can just sit by the lake and enjoy a cup of tea and maybe a meal. The cafe is a lovely place. Ladies are always helpful and polite. Food is nice enough and not over priced. Yet if your a vegetarian, you'll have very limited choices. But a nice slice of cake usually helps me through such limitations. There is something for everyone though. If your in the area, pop by and enjoy.

Lovely place for brunch with the usual baked items & cheesecake slices. My hot breakfast was good, but the scrambled eggs a wee bit overdone for my liking. Gluten free toast available. The tea was hot & a generous serving. A great place for people to meet & gather, we were not rushed on at all & the staff very friendly. Highly recommended. Toilets available.

Went for Afternoon Tea, a belated birthday present. Had to queue to be seated, but it was very busy, however a table had been reserved for us. Food quickly arrived and looked delicious. Only down side was only filter coffee and breakfast tea included, I usually have decaffeinated drinks. Maybe they should look at that or allow you to pay extra. It was very busy, so noisy and we struggled to get more coffee for my husband. Maybe they should give you a small pot. For the price it was very enjoyable and would definitely return.

Wonderful! We have repeatedly used da vinci for family gatherings for years. Although the numbers lesson year on year the memories grow. Great job as Always

Went last night for a Birthday Meal. Absolutely could not fault a single thing. Staff very attentive - drinks order, food order, drinks served, Starters served, Mains served….we were beaten so didn’t sample any Desserts but I’m sure they’d have arrived with the same speed and efficiency. Relaxed atmosphere - most tables were occupied when we got there but you wouldn’t have known they were busy - you were made to feel like their only customer. Great choice on the Menu from Meat, Fish, Pizza & Pasta. Whilst the Restaurant may not be Italian-owned, as someone who has lived abroad and sampled Mediterranean food frequently, this was delicious. Perfect portion sizes with great value for money. My Son aged 10 is already asking when we can go back so he can try the Lasagne “next time”! I see absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t!

As someone that’s eaten all around the world, at some of the world’s best restaurants, at the price point Da Vinci’s is at, it’s up there with all of them! Now I’m not saying it’s as good, I’m saying at the value you can get a fillet steak (fillet Neroi) in a fabulous sauce for £23.95 is outstanding value with excellent quality. Where in a restaurant nowadays are you getting pasta dishes under a tenner? I think I counted 15 pasta option under a tenner, even lobster ravioli was only 12-13 quid! The wine list isn’t massive, but the most expensive bottle is a Rioja at only £25 that’s outstanding! The wine is priced fantastically and fairly, We visited twice in the build up to Christmas then new year, both times were fantastic. The staff are extremely friendly without being overbearing, no rushing at all. The menu is extensive, with antipasti starters, vegan and vegetarian, pizzas, fish, calzones, grills, chicken, risotto and much more, something for everyone. Good selection of deserts, the profiteroles my wife had were excellent. My pet peeve are toilets, downstairs yes, but spotlessly clean, very important. Overall, by far the best non Indian (put them in a different category) in the area, the pubs local including Wetherspoons charge more than these guys for some of the menu and there’s no comparison! Absolutely five star for the price you pay, they also do a deal in the week I believe.

Never been before but would definitely go again. Service and food was excellent 👌🏾😋

Lovely pub, seemed busy around lunch time on a Saturday. We were told to wait for 30 minutes for food, which wasn't too bad. We just had a quick snack (nachos; ratio of tortilla chips to sauce was 2:1) and some nonalcoholic cider as we were driving back to the city. Great atmosphere and service. Just scored low for the lack of sauce.

I've been driving past here for a few years now, but it has never been. I'm pleasantly surprised. Very nice pub, large car park. There are plenty of tables to choose from. The staff are polite and friendly, also professional. Ordered food from the bar, and food arrived promptly. Food was lovely, very happy. Will be bringing the family back here for sure. Thanks.

What a lovely way to celebrate my birthday in the company of our dearest friends. The pub was full and we did have to wait a while for our meals but it was worth it! Thank you Hardwick Arms staff and Nicky the Manager.

I’m a regular to the Hardwick arms and I’m always greeted with friendly staff and I am always able to have a laugh with them whilst there on there shift. I would like to make a special shout out to Mandy and will, 2 of the management team, always outstanding and really know what they are doing.
