Every bit the welcoming country pub you may well be hoping to stumble upon around Bournheath, The Nailers Arms attracts a loyal clientele from Bromsgrove and beyond, drawn by the delicious food (available seven days a week) as well as a wide selection of quality beers, wines and spirits and that welcoming atmosphere only possible in a truly local institution. Phil and Shula Witherford are the passionate couple behind this popular bar and contemporary restaurant on Doctors Hill, a place which is hard to leave without a personal promise to the publican that you’ll be back to get your fill again before too long.

    Service was incredibly slow. We had to wait a long time for the waitress to come over and take our food order. The chef was lovely but the carvery wasn’t hot, it was just about warm. We were only asked once if we wanted a drink, despite being there for 3 hours and were not told that we needed to go and pay at the bar if we wanted to split the bill. This meant we were sat there for ages waiting for the bill (or even to order another drink would have been nice!) live band started towards the end, who were great but a little loud for the small environment

    Food generally was good issue we had was the quantity of meat. My partner asked for only BEEF and on doing so received two very thin slices ! if she had asked for all meats she would have received at lease a slice of each . To me this is not acceptable.

    Always rated my previous experiences here as 5. Unfortunately, this time, whilst the rest of the food was superb, I don't know what on earth happened to the carrots. Totally inedible. Not peeled, so looked dirty, big chunks rather than cut in nice slim rounds and hard as bullets. Looked so unappealing. Come on Nailers, this isn't the usual standard. First time in 12 years I've experienced this. Will be there again New Years Eve and bringing new guests, hope it isn't the same experience....
