Best British Restaurants in Smethwick

i have been to At The Woods a few times already in the past, and previously every time the food and service was outstanding. I always order the same meal, and so does my partner. i order the Hens Garden, and he has the Yorkshire Wrap. However, unfortunately over time i have noticed the price of my meal has been increasing, and the portion size is decreasing. Before i was served a hearty portion of mash, carrots, broccoli, and two chicken breast pieces. However, this time I visited, my dinner was served in a bowl which made it very awkward and uncomfortable to eat dinner out of a bowl with a knife and fork. This was a main meal for me for £20 which did not fill me at all. The portion of mash was roughly two tablespoons, i was no longer served carrots, the broccoli was crunchy, and i was now only served one piece of chicken which was quite small. My partner was also disappointed with his food. This is the same thing he has ordered the previous times, and this time the steak in his wrap was overcooked and chewy, so he had to spit it out which is appalling. At The Woods is a new restaurant which has come to birmingham, although they have been open for a little while now, they are still NEW. Getting ahead of the game by playing it smart and increasing prices and decreasing portions is most definitely not smart, and driving loyal customers away.

We book every year for our wedding anniversary on December 24th and always chose the same festive menu . As ever out lunch was fabulous and our waiter was too

Great start to a Christmas shopping day. Beautiful breakfast.

Lovely restaurant with good food. Great service from a very smart and attentive waitress.

A group of 10 of us went today for the Christmas 3 course lunch which was lovely. Between us we sampled most of what was on offer and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was good and the courses came with a reasonable gap between, not too long or too short. I have a minor food allergy which I had mentioned when I booked and they were very careful to find out details and work out how to serve my food so that it would not be a problem for me! A great lunch to celebrate Christmas with some good friends!
