The old coach house has been improved beyond recognition. If anyone is passing through Solihull I'd recommend this place highly.

When looking for somewhere that I can take my mother too for lunch a few weeks ago I decided to try…read moreEBB and Flow. This blend of cafe and bar is something that stands out in Solihull and manages to set it apart from many of the other restaurants and bars locally, they straddle the line between upmarket bar and vintage cage relatively well and have put together somewhere that is inviting without being too relaxed. One great thing to note is that they offer all day Brunch, which is great if you are late to rise and want a breakfast. This does make them busy on a weekend. They have a good selection of burgers. They also offer an afternoon tea at £10 per person which can be enhanced with Prosecco and offers a decent selection of both savoury and sweet items. I was impressed with the afternoon tea particularly as you didn't have to order ahead. My only complaint is that I didn't leave feeling full but the experience was very nice. I would deffinately recommend Ebb and Flow for a relaxed meal or a drink with friends.

I first went to Akamba in April this year. I'd found it online a few weeks earlier, whilst looking…read morefor tribute nights locally, and then a friend mentioned she had a voucher for a meal there, so we gave it a go. Let's be honest, eating dinner at a garden centre usually sounds like the sort of things your parents or grandparents (depending on your age!) would do, however, this little slice of African themed heaven is a far cry from what you'd normal expect of such a place! I've not made it to Africa, though have traveled widely in Asia, and the outside felt totally authentic, being similar to bars and restaurants I've eaten in abroad. Even outside, you are sheltered from the rain, and inside, where the buffet is served, it's warm and cosy, with live music of an evening, and the most amazing spread of food. I've been a number of times since that first dinner, having returned in the day with my dog, as it's dog friendly if you're happy to sit outside - they even bring a bowl of water for our four legged friends! I've had lunch there, and the most fabulous afternoon cream tea, and cake, whilst the choice is limited, what they offer is very tasty (and I'm a fan of cake!) I loved it that much the first night, that I've refused to go there for a meal again, as I'm going for my 40th, which happens to fall on a Thursday, and looking forward to sharing the experience with close friends. The service is always friendly. It's not always super fast, as it runs on Kenyan time, so this isn't the place to go in a rush. Indeed, why would you? It's such a delightful experience that it deserves to be cherished. Oh, and the shop is pretty fab too! So yes, dog friendly, fab food, great shop and friendly service!

We had a two for one cocktail but only one because we were both driving. Followed by the Beach food platter sharer comprising of jerk chicken wings, pepper roti, sweet corn fritters & garlic n herb flatbreads. we both opted for BBQ pork belly, sweet potato fries crispy crackling sweet onion chutney with fresh green seasoning. although everything sounds & looks amazing!! The portions are not huge so we where able to manage desert, BBQ pineapple with rum caramel sauce & coconut ice cream. I had Zesty lemon & lime tart drizzled with passion fruit sauce. We plan to go back & work our way through the whole menu!!

I understand that they have only been open in Solihull for a few weeks, however what we we experienced was quite a few members of staff tripping over each other and not working in a very streamlined way. It took us quite a while to have our orders taken (around 15-20 minutes). However, the food and drinks were all lovely when they arrived and at the usual standard for Turtle Bay restaurants. I had a peanut butter and banana smoothie which I particularly enjoyed. My mother had a prawn and mango wrap with side salad which she said was lovely. I'll try this restaurant in a few months time to see if service has improved.

I mean it was exactly what was stated and loads of it but the overall quality was just missing for me. I left full....but not thinking OMG I need to go back here asap.

The staff were very accommodating, meeting our every request. The buffet food was good too, with small sharing plates bought to the table whilst the rest was set out to help ourselves.

Not a huge amount of choice on food but the roast veg and halloumi salad was delicious and good value (£8.45 with a soft drink). It was quiet so the service was fast. The barman was a bit of a misery arse but otherwise fine. The selection of alcohol behind the bar made my eyes light up, although I was unable to take part. Loads of craft beers and spirits, and a decent gin selection. I'll come back here next time we come shopping to Resorts World or a gig at the NEC...

The new recruits are not trained properly and also appear to be rude! The lady that serves the food, never smiles and has no comms what's so ever, she just plonks the food on the table expecting you to work out who's meals who's! I could go on and on. The food is good, drinks are fine but the customer service is terrible. The pub itself is nice. Its on a corner location, with approx 50 car park spaces. The pub has a pool table at the back. With the customer service quote in mind from Gandhi, I cannot rate this place more then 1 star. "A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so." -Gandhi
