The Regency - Solihull

We had a long-awaited afternoon tea and arrived early, but were pleased to be seated immediately. The service was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed a selection of sandwiches and cakes. Our choice of beverage was champagne, which was of great quality. Overall, it was a fantastic afternoon.

We spent a week at the hotel and although the rooms were not fantastic, the dining experience was very enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was delicious.

Dining at the restaurant was excellent. I enjoyed a well-cooked lamb burger, and my friend had the delicious scallops and chicken kebab starter. The staff was professional and attentive. The pool area was nice, but it's best to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The hotel is a bit dated but clean and good value for money. Its proximity to the NEC is a definite bonus.

This was our first visit to the Regency for about ten years, having heard from friends that they had made real improvements to the food offering recently. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised as to how good it was. Special mention to our...waitress Davina, who talked us through the menu, and also to Claudio who made sure we enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be returning.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, light and airy. The staff are always so friendly and happy to chat. The Sunday roast is delicious and the vegetables always plentiful and varied.
