   We ordered the Hunters Boaed between 2 of us. Each meat was cooked beautifully apart from the pheasant, which was slightly dry. The amount of food and quality was excellent value for money. We loved the light in the middle of the table, which we would change colour if we required service. The only 2 problems were that it took over 40 minutes for our food to arrive and the food went cold very quickly.

   I booked a table for myself and my boyfriend for his birthday. We booked for 4:15pm on a Wednesday so naturally the restaurant was quiet but that didn't take away from our experience. The staff were very friendly and the food was lovely! We shared a few of the small plates so it gave us chance to sample a few different things. Everything looked and tasted great and would say it was value for money. We also both loved the theme of the woodlands throughout the restaurant and menu. Would definitely go again 😊

   I was really dissatisfied. We had searched for a good place to eat in Birmingham and this restaurant had come up. We had the Yorkshire wrap which actually resembled a pancake rather than a Yorkshire pudding. The food was really greasy, even the veg and the hassle back potatoes tasted of grease too. The staff were friendly but no one checked in on how we were doing or even if our meal was nice. The restaurant was fairy quiet but we still had to wait over half an hour from ordering for our food to arrive. I wouldn't reccomend this place at all.

   Fantastic restaurant. Helpful servers, great addition to service using table lamp to get attention. Felt like an experience meal. The food was phenomenal, the quality of ingredients and choice were fantastic. Absolutely exceptional.

   The main courses and sides were amazing. Between the four of us we ordered 3 deserts none of them were edible. The service was poor. We waited an hour for someone to take our plates and offer deserts and we had to call someone over. But the mains and sides were amazing. Just the deserts and service let the place down! The crème brûlée was lumpy and tastes off. The panna cotta was rock solid and dry and the amaretto cheesecake tasted of pure alcohol was far too strong.

   Pleasant and helpful staff and the food was amazing. Will definitely go back. That was one of the best Chicken burgers and fries I've ever tasted.

   We waited 1 hour 15 mins for breakfast. Hot drinks were sent to our table about an hour before the food arrived. Music very loud for daytime breakfast/brunch style eatery. Mess visible behind the stairs. Not great for the price you pay there.

    i have been to At The Woods a few times already in the past, and previously every time the food and service was outstanding. I always order the same meal, and so does my partner. i order the Hens Garden, and he has the Yorkshire Wrap. However, unfortunately over time i have noticed the price of my meal has been increasing, and the portion size is decreasing. Before i was served a hearty portion of mash, carrots, broccoli, and two chicken breast pieces. However, this time I visited, my dinner was served in a bowl which made it very awkward and uncomfortable to eat dinner out of a bowl with a knife and fork. This was a main meal for me for £20 which did not fill me at all. The portion of mash was roughly two tablespoons, i was no longer served carrots, the broccoli was crunchy, and i was now only served one piece of chicken which was quite small. My partner was also disappointed with his food. This is the same thing he has ordered the previous times, and this time the steak in his wrap was overcooked and chewy, so he had to spit it out which is appalling. At The Woods is a new restaurant which has come to birmingham, although they have been open for a little while now, they are still NEW. Getting ahead of the game by playing it smart and increasing prices and decreasing portions is most definitely not smart, and driving loyal customers away.
