About This Pub
Ah, The Billesley – it's one of those pubs that feels like a proper local gem in Birmingham, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really shine through; they're chatty, helpful sorts who make you feel right at home, much like that server Tracey who got rave reviews for her top-notch service. The food's a winner when it's on form, especially those Sunday roasts that folks rave about – affordable and satisfying for a casual get-together with mates. Plus, with all the live sports action and family-friendly perks like outdoor play areas, it's spot on for a relaxed day out. On the flip side, it's not all smooth sailing; a few have had off days with meals that were dry, cold, or just not up to scratch, and waiting around for food can sometimes take the edge off the fun. Still, with its budget deals and welcoming atmosphere, I'd say it's worth popping in for a pint and a bite – just keep in mind it might not be perfect every time, but that's pubs for you!

Recent Reviews
Our server Tracey was absolutely lovely and so helpful. She is a credit to the pub. The food was good and very affordable. We had the Sunday roast and a pudding and both were delicious. Would definitely come again.
Tastey food and VERY friendly staff. Tracey N made it worthy of a review! food was excellent too. very fresh, hot and tastey..
The food if that’s what you can call it, took 40 mins to arrive and when it did, it was dry, the bread was burnt on the outside and soggy and inedible on the inside. The chicken was bone dry and cold. We couldn’t finish it. Our side order of Mac and cheese was like chewing gum.
Staff were lovely and polite, just a shame the food time and quality was a let down.
Went here again with family for dinner, Great menu and also the food was really nice as always. Staff is always so helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend 👌
Visited here for Sunday lunch. Opted for the vegetable tart Sunday Dinner. As we love our gravy, we quickly emptied our jugs over the meal and very impressed with a passing server, noticing our love for gravy, offered to get us more. Meal was good but the pastry of the tart was on the tough side but was improved by being soaked in gravy! We ate every bit but I did feedback about the pasty to the server, who collected the empty plates, and this was very positively received and she said this would be fed back to the kitchen. For dessert we shared a sharing sundae which was delicious. Good veggie options and very kiddie friendly (little play area outside)
