As always, the food was excellent. The service was very good and considering these students are first year students, and English is their second language, I couldn’t fault the attentiveness of those serving us. I will be a regular visitor. I would have to pay twice the price elsewhere for the standard of cuisine experienced at Tge Cllege of Food.

About the restaurant

We founded The Bay Tree out of a deep love for real food, for food that is fresh and honest . We also felt that Kinver needed a place for people to meet each other, relax and enjoy a meal.
We only use the best ingredients here at The Bay Tree: wherever possible we use local produce, organic vegetables, fresh fish, and free-range meats. We strive to make each and every dish a wholesome expression of our love for food, life, and living.
The Bay Tree was born in March 2020. Our goal is to make the Bay Tree blossom into a thriving village community. We offer a restaurant and bar, with quality, homely food to suit all appetites and budgets. Sympathetically designed, with room for families, groups and parties of all sizes, we want any customer to feel like they can call The Bay Tree their extended home. Want to hire an area, whole floor or even the whole restaurant for a special occasion? Just ask us: we would only be too happy help!

The food was absolutely amazing. The staff were helpful and friendly. Everything was perfect. The only slight downside was the noise from a group in the restaurant with children (quite a few) but it’s Christmas and they were little children so it’s allowed. They were excited and you soon forgot they were even there. In fact they added a bit of festive joy to the atmosphere. Will definitely be back

About the restaurant

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.

We attended on Christmas eve lunch time. It was not rushed even though we had limit of 2 hours. The waitress took our order and was very polite, calm and efficient. We had a party of 8 including a child and all have said it was one of the best places they have eaten in a long while at lunchtime. The atmosphere was good We Enjoyed it the food.
