The Brook Inn in Redditch

We popped in for a mid week bite, we were pleased to find two open fires on a quite cold day! The menu of the day was a selection of - street food- neither of us are really into meat free versions of meat dishes, we'd rather have a vegetable based dish if not eating meat, however plenty of choice on the menu for vegetarians.We opted for the Bao buns to share as a starter, the filling was excellent and full of flavour, the bun was OK too, but not quite there. Overall though a really nice starter. I wouldn't normally order a burger if it's on brioche, but the menu left little alternative (next time we'll go for a selection of the smaller plates to share) the burgers were both very nice, the konichiwa was the niceest of the two. Unfortunately the buns were over toasted an brittle so they crumbled and I ended up having to finish with a knife and fork. Other than that, I'd say one of the better attempts at a burger I've had in a while and they looked spectacular when they came out. The chef did offer to make me anther burger on an untoasted bun. I wish there was a sesame seed bun as an alternative.Pub was very busy and had a great atmosphere, staff were all very friendly and looked happy. Looking forward to our next visit!

Amazing pub. Such great food. Couldn’t decide on a dish so had 4 entrees and shared them! So good we ordered another.They were all delicious and everything on a dish complimented each other.And the staff were lovely, helpful and friendly.Only travelling in the UK for 5 weeks and in this area for 1… we will be back before we leave.

We really enjoyed our time here. Great food and service. It has a large car park and beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces

Nice country pub, not too far out of town. Nice quality food in a cosy setting. Nice warm welcome from the staff. We're looking forward to revisiting when the warmer weather is here to enjoy pizza on the patio

The meal was fantastic beef was plenty thick not thin like you get at some pubs,vegetables great.well worth the money would recon The Brook to eny one 10 out of 10 .you must remember to book

Amazing food really, very very nice, staff very attentive.

First time visit for lunch whilst over that way, we had the Christmas stack (burger), B97 burger and steak sandwich and drinks of course, good service, friendly welcoming staff. Nicely refurbished pub. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great food that is well priced. The staff were very friendly.

As brilliant as the food is, we won’t be going back in a hurry owing to the poor service. Very young inexperienced Sunday staff who didn’t have a clue. Pleasant enough but unfortunately no-one has bothered to train them up. At these prices you expect a good dining experience, not just good food. Sorry Brook - you used to be my favourite place.

Nice food though service a little slow between courses. We booked the "shed" outside which was a lovely place to sit and eat. Pricey, but then you get you pay for.
