About This Pub
Ah, the Green Man – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a reliable old friend in Birmingham, tucked away on the high street with its tidy exterior and welcoming outdoor seating. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the food really shines; think cracking fish and chips or that unbeatable three-course deal that won't break the bank, making it ideal for a casual dinner or family outing. The atmosphere is another winner – it's modern and clean inside, with original features that give it a cosy, lived-in charm, and don't forget that beautiful beer garden for those sunny afternoons. Service is mostly spot on, with staff who are polite and on hand when you need them, but it's not perfect; a few folks have mentioned it can feel a bit forced at times, which might leave you wanting a warmer welcome. On the flip side, little things like portion sizes on the veg could use a tweak, but overall, it's a place I'd recommend for a good value night out. If you're heading to Birmingham, it's worth checking out for a pint and a bite, just keep in mind it might not be the most memorable for service every visit – still, the positives far outweigh the niggles for a balanced pub crawl.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The food here is spot on – I've heard brilliant things about their fish and chips, and that three-course deal for under £14 is an absolute bargain for a hearty meal.
-
It's got a lovely atmosphere with a modern yet cosy interior, complete with original features that make it feel welcoming and homely.
-
The beer garden is a real gem, perfect for soaking up the sun on a warm day, and it's great for family get-togethers or just catching up with mates.
-
Service is generally top-notch; some folks have mentioned polite and helpful staff who make you feel right at home.
-
Convenient location with free parking, making it easy to pop in after a day out in Birmingham, and it's open from early till late most days.
Cons
-
Service can be a bit hit or miss – one person noted the staff seemed a tad forced or not as approachable, which might put a dampener on things.
-
Occasional niggles with the food, like not quite enough veg on the plate during a meal, even if the rest is delicious.
-
It might not stand out as the friendliest spot every time, based on a few comments about the counter service feeling a bit off.

Recent Reviews
The pub is on the highstreet it looks very tidy on the outside with outdoor seating area. The interior is modern contemporary style and still has original features. It is well layedout and is clean inside and very nice. The service was very good and the person who bought the food over was polite and helpful and the food when it arrived was hot and tasty. The only drawback was there was flies, that kept flying around and even though I kept having to shough it away from the table it managed to land on the cutlery and serviettes.
It's a nice place and worth trying. The lady on the counter could have been more friendly and approachable as I found her like forced to work and serve customers. Having beautiful space outside which is great for the summer and hot days. Prices are reasonable. May try it again if customer service improves.
Best fish and chips that we have had in a while great service great food and great drinks will return!
Came here on Wednesday evening with a friend for dinner.
Nice, cosy atmosphere and got a table by the fire.
We had the 3 courses deal each for 13.95 which I thought was a great price.
We had
Chicken wings
Breaded mushrooms
Lasagne x 2
Creme brulee
Chocolate orange sponge
All the food was really good. Loved the breaded mushrooms.
My only feedback is that the service was slow between courses. We had to ask for our dessert after waiting around 30 mins after finishing our mains.
But overall a nice evening and good food and I would return.
We booked for Christmas Day. The service was great, there was enough staff around if we needed assistance. Cameron was fab and happy to help with any queries. The food was hot and served with enough time between courses.
A few more carrots/parsnips would have been nice, I only had 2 pieces of carrot and 1 parsnip and roast potatoes could be improved they tasted like ‘aunt Bessie’s’ but overall a great experience.
