The Boat Inn in Solihull

This place has changed so much since my last visit a few year's ago. The place looks really well and the food was absolutely fantastic!!! The staff we're lovely & the drinks looked nice too. The reason for only the 3 stars is the disabled parking. The cars that were parked in these bays had NO Blue badges on show. And this was on a Monday when it's quiet. So just be mindful if you're going at the weekend and you need a disabled parking bay.

Brilliant place for drink and food. My partner and I had starters and mains which were absolutely delicious. Good service with friendly and attentive staff - even when the pub looked completely full when we visited. There was a great atmosphere and the decor is fantastic. Would highly recommend.

We arrived without a booking and restaurant was busy. Lady at reception area politely informed us that whilst there was an available table for two, there may be an half hour wait for our meals. Thank goodness we waited, we both had haddock and chips with minted mushy peas and it was delicious. Staff member who took our order was both courteous and friendly. It has been over 20 years since we dined at The Boat, what a difference, major improvement!!Well done to all

Never had visited a Greene King pub/restaurant before, so was quite surprised. It was tastefully decorated & clean. Excellent food that is well presented with a good range at reasonable prices. One very important thing for me was that it was not noisy. You had the amity to have a decent conversation.

Visited yesterday for Sunday lunch and booked at short notice. Despite being told that the kitchen was understaffed, the food was prompt and absolutely delicious. Roast was excellent (we had beef and chicken) and served with veg, gravy and cauliflower cheese on the side. Would definitely return!

Service was pretty good, the Stix starters were really nice. They had to close the pizza section due to staff absence so my daughter couldn't have the pizza she wanted. The kids portion of the fish and chips was quite large though, however, the chips were ever so slightly undercooked. My venison and duck pie was lovely even if the pastry was a little too hard. Could do with some proper knives as I struggled to cut with them. Lovely atmosphere, overall the food wasn't too bad and the Stix starters were great. The chilli and lime prawns were delicious as was the duck. Had the affagato for dessert, I enjoyed it but the wife missed the amaretti biscuits crumbled over the top. Will visit again, not a bad place, a little pricey perhaps but still worth a visit.

Staff were excellent. Food superb - I had the best fish pie i have ever tasted. It contained scallops, prawns, salmon, cod and mussels, topped with a lovely herby crust potato topping. We used the pub as a stop over, whilst walking the grand Union canal. Staff kindly let us keep our camper in car park overnight. Lots of sheltered and heated outdoor space to eat outside if you prefer. It also had an outdoor bar. Electric charging units available as well. Can't recommend enough.

Food nice, reasonably priced. Out door area is nice. Staff were friendly and polite. Just took a while to get drinks served for table service or for someone to bring bill and sort payment out Otherwise a fairly pleasent experience

How much!!!!£14 for a burger and fries!!!But I got to say, it was the best burger I've ever had. Staff were pleasant and so were surroundings.I'll be back.Might try the steak next time.AAA+++

As soon as we entered The boat assistant manager Tammy could not do enough for us very professional it was nice to see that she also worked behind the bar setting a good example to the rest of the staff. She make sure all the customers were all happy. The last time we came to The boat was about 3 years ago it was good then and now it's had a revamp it is even better the food was delicious nicely presented l would just like to say a big thank you to the chefs. I would definitely recommend The boat and I will be back again
