The Fighting Cocks in Birmingham

Oh, let me tell you about The Fighting Cocks – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its classic charm and that genuine neighbourhood feel in Moseley. I love how it's managed to keep things relaxed yet memorable, whether you're popping in for a laid-back lunch, a hearty Sunday roast, or just a few drinks in the beer garden. The food really shines; the roasts and pork belly are absolute winners, cooked fresh and full of flavour, and the staff go out of their way to make everything smooth, like when they sorted a big table for a group without any fuss. It's got that homely atmosphere with nice touches like being dog-friendly, which makes it even more appealing for a casual outing. On the flip side, though, drinks can be a bit on the steep side, so you might want to keep an eye on that if you're out for the evening. And while most of the menu is spot-on, there have been a few mentions of smaller issues, like the pork scratchings not being as crispy as they'd like. All in all, it's a solid spot for a get-together, with plenty of positives that outweigh the minor niggles, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're after a proper pub experience in Birmingham.
