No problems. We have already been back several times. Excellent
great service and good quality food for a Saturday night out
Not enough staff poor lad run off his feet but he was doin his best
We had a lovely roast dinner and enjoyed our time at the Tap and Spile. Would definitely recommend it to family a friends. Good value and great atmosphere.
Excellent food, excellent staff and excellent service every time .
Really disappointed with the restaurant and food. I had the beef pie and it was awful, just a skin thin layer of pastry on top and the bits of beef were floating around with a few bits of the carrot.. for £11.50 this was so over priced. I also had the warm fudge cake which wasn't warm at all and had a tiny scoop of ice cream with it The restaurant was chilly and there was no loo roll in the ladies Really disappointed
Warm welcome delicious food and they took the tastecard no problem.
We always come to the Tap and Spile on a Sunday and I can recommend the roast beef and Yorkshire pud. Hablo Espanol y Italiano.
Great atmosphere and food, staff are very welcoming and helpful
Lovely food and the staff were excellent, polite, attentive and friendly
The staff at this place are so lovely! And for the price of the food (as it’s not expensive) it is very tasty!
We had the good Mexican food from the huge menu and the staff were really friendly. Don’t be put off by the slightly worn seats. Enjoy!
We experienced a pre show mea, food was excellent, staff very friendly. Couldn't ask for more.
Excellent food, good service, staff very helpful. Overall experience good.
Always a good meal, very friendly staff and a lovely setting
Excellent! Would recommend this restaurant to friends and will return. Very friendly waitress and staff generally. Food very good and good value, thank you to Tap and Spile
A good honest canalised pub offering simple but tasty food. No frills but some really lovely staff members who were helpful and friendly on this, our first visit. I would certainly return here again based on the experience of this visit. Not fine dinning in any way, but a really good option in a very busy area of the city.
Excellent meal with perfectly cooked steak, staff were friendly and a nice view over the canal. Definitely will go again. Just a pain to get to if you walk from city centre die to closures.
Staff were very friendly & helpful. Food came quickly & we had no complaints. The real ales didn't meet my husbands standards which was a little disappointing but didn't spoil our experience.
Superd food, superb service and superb price! Great pre-show meal and drinks at this most wonderful canal-side inn. Will return any time I am visiting Brum
We booked a table as advised before going to a concert. Glad we did. It was busy but we had a delicious meal served quickly and with a smile. Would definitely eat there again.
Lovely place. Very friendly and attentive staff and food was delicious. We ordered the roast. There was 8 of us and nothing was too much trouble. Made to feel extremely welcome
Welcomed on arrival and took straight to our table. Great friendly service through out our meal. Great food with plenty of choice all freshly cooked and a good range of drinks. Fantastic pub ☺
Once again lovely food and efficient, friendly staff. 6 different food orders for starters and mains and all spot on. Would definitely recommend to others.
Excellent food and hospitality. Staff were very attentive. Friendly staff. Two of our party had never been before but are going to return with other friends.
Excellent food was served quickly and efficiently by very pleasant staff,even on a busy Saturday night. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
Lovely food and very helpful staff definitely going again next time we are in Birmingham 😊ribeye steak was lovely and a short walk to the nia
Excellent venue with food and ambience to match. Oldy worldly and in an intriguing part of the city. Don’t miss if and when you’re in town!
Given a cosy table at the end of the restaurant away from the bustle of the bar. Staff very attentive & friendly & food was a good price.
Great place and lovely staff. Food is brilliant and service is outstanding. Will definitely book again. Ideal place to eat before a show or just spend the night for a few drinks.
Staff alway very good and a meal was a fair price. I had the Gammon which was a good size and very tasty. My wife had Sea Bass which also was good.
Table was ready and the service was excellent. All our meals arrived at the same time and all enjoyed. Definitely will be returning and would recommend. And the selection of beers and prices is good
We had very good Sunday roast, and we're delighted with the pudding. The service also very good from happy, smiling staff. Nice pub inside, and super location beside canal. Slight disappointment not to get apple sauce with pork; partly our fault because we didn't ask!
very reasonably priced food. quite quirky inside but great location on the side of the canal...great for people watching.
Busy venue for a Sat night to be expected but reserved table was ready early. Excellent Timothy Taylor landlord & Old Speckled to go wolith the wide menu choice all served hot and reasonably priced for a city centre eatery.
In the past when I have visited the Tap & Spile the service and food as been outstanding, but this time the visit was marred by a lack of staff, for there did not seem to be enough staff to for the number of customers that were present, making the service somewhat slower than usual. On top of which one of my party had a gammon steak, which had so much salt in it, she was unable to eat it. It's expected that there is some salt in a gammon as it's part of the curing process. The manager did make a concession to to this when the bill was presented. The staff were great despite the pressure they were under. Currently i'm not sure that I will return or not.
Good service and food would go again. My Ribeye was a little grossly. All other meals fine. Good ambiance with everyone looking pleased with their meals.
Can not fault the food or the service excellent value for money when you consider that this place is by the canals in birmingham city centre.
Even though the place was busy on a Saturday around 6pm, we received a great service at our table that we had reserved. Staff were friendly and the chip shop style chips were excellent. The chicken pizza I had was freshly made and lovely.
Had a fabulous pre-theatre meal here last night. Pub was very busy - typical of a Sat night in Birmingham. Nevertheless felt cosy rather than claustrophobic. Staff were all attentive & very friendly which infected the customers too resulting in a great atmosphere. Food was served hot, well presented and well enjoyed. My steak was cooked to perfection. All in all thoroughly enjoyed and our new go-to place in Birmingham.
Friendly place and helpful barman. Nice food and ok cocktails. Good positional on the canal side with easy access to ICC and graduation ceremonies for UCB.
Tap and Spile was okay. It wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be and didn’t live up to other reviews. However, it did the job - an alright meal before a concert.
We had a great meal with lovely quiet surroundings. Good service and a pleasant waitress. Lovely view over the canal Proper chips! Would go again!
Fantastic food beautiful View of Birmingham Canals (which i love) and friendly and attentive staff will definitely be coming here again. well done team :)
A really excellent experience, from the staff to the amazing food, couldn't fault anything. we had the Sunday Lunch which was tasty and value for money.
We had a lovely meal at the tap and spile the staff where very friendly and made you feel very welcome and the food was delicious would visit again
Friendly efficient staff. First visit with friends. Food and service great. Definitely visit again. Lovely location by canalside. Nice quiet arriving 12.45pm not rushed to leave. Enjoyed by all.
Had a lovely three course meal prior to going to a show at Birmingham Symphony hall, both had soup of the day to start (spinach), both had fish and chips for main then strawberry cheesecake and chocolate pudding for desserts, drinks lovely, I had morretti while better half had vodka and coke, all reasonably priced and served quickly by superb staff, only downside but minor is can be pretty noisy with people drinking around the dining area
Been several times and food and service is usually very good. On this occasion the food was not as inspiring. The chicken was a little dry and the salad was limited to green leaves, could have been much better.
The staff are always very friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food is tasty and of good quality, and portions are generous. We enjoy going here quite regularly!
