Die besten gemütlichen Restaurants in Hodge Hill

We went for our Christmas lunch & there was supposed to be 8 but only 5 could make it. We all had 3 courses and wine & the food was perfect, only disappointment was they’d run out of Tiramisu 😂. It was refreshing that we didn’t have to pre-order our food or have to have the normal Christmas meal. I’d have booked for NYE but they didn’t have availability. Thank you to all the staff for making it such an enjoyable experience & wish you all a very merry Christmas 🤶

Lovely environment, the team worked hard to keep us watered and feed quickly and the bill even though not cheap was reasonable.

From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.

Best Japanese in town. As usual the food is brilliant and the service so outstanding.

Very good experience. The meat was so premium and definitely more value than the London ones
