The wine house is a great place to meet friends and family. staff are friendly and helpful. The food is very good, though service can as you would expect be a little slow at during busy periods.

Will never, ever visit again. Have eaten there four times before. Food has always been good, but service has been questionable. Last time, waited 20 minutes for drinks, waited 5 minutes for spoon to eat my soup, waited 10 minutes for extra bread as pate had two slithers of take and bake baguette. Last but one visit we were seated, got our drinks, ordered food and were then they asked to move table as they needed to push tables together to make seating for 8 diners. 10 minutes later, two new diners were seated at our original table and stayed there until we left! Today we were given a dreadful table adjacent to the entry door. Asked to swap to one of the other 4 empty tables for two. Staff very unhelpful. Cancelled our booking there and then. It's a real shame. Always had good food, but place is let down by inexperienced, incompetent, unhelpful and uninterested staff. If I were the manager, I'd replace all the FOH staff . Four previous visits, but after today will never go again. Went to Sorriso Italian across the street. 100% for food and service there. Winehouse staff should go there and see how it's done!

The meal its self was outstanding, the food was of a high quality and the presentation was spot on. The staff were very friendly and service was quick. The portion size was good ive read a couple reviews saying they paid X amount an it was tiny but i found the it was good quality food and just enough. The location is central and minutes walk from the Cathedral. I would add tho they offer a bottomless brunch on a Saturday, so it can be very loud, lively and busy up until 6pm so if you was wanting a quieter, romantic meal on a Saturday be sure to book from 6pm onwards. Drink choice large with anything you’d want and as the name suggests a huge wine selection. Recommendations would be the onion soup and pork chop and the pickled onion rings they were all so good 🤤😋 We will definitely be going back when in Lichfield.

We visited The Wine House yesterday, as a party of 3 for Bottomless Brunch. The food was out of this world, so tasty, perfectly presented, delicious. Our waitress, Summer, was nothing short of outstanding. So attentive, friendly and she really made our evening. Summer is an asset to this venue, keep up the good work and being such a lovely waitress. I would recommend the Salt and Pepper chicken starter, pan fried chicken main and chocolate Brownie. All delicious. Tx

Service is fantastic, lovely bar maid and was chatty and friendly no complaints at all on service at first! Menu was pretty boring to be honest not alot to really chose from, the days of a proper menu with land and sea options have long gone! It’s combined now into1 page of drabness, mushroom starter was awful ! Onion soup was thin but okay, so out comes the main tomahawk pork chop tasted so bland chewy and honestly disgusting like prison slops the fat on it was like it hadn’t been cooked at all still see though looking, tasted like it had been frozen and boiled. my sea bass was lovely apart from the fish clearly being on a diet! Manager said she would knock 60% off the untouched pork meal because get ready for it my husband had ordered it 🤣🤣🤣 🙈 okay darling , although it was completely knocked off after, there just is no need. We love eating out finding lately the foods expensive everywhere but the standards are awful. Probably won’t go to wine house again as it’s the second meal that hasn’t been great now … shame as it is a beautiful looking restaurant.

Another year passes and we remember Suzanne with a visit to your restaurant. Pehaps we can plant a tree or place a plaque in memoriam? The review below was 6 years ago. Except tonight our family had the most amazing meal, tinged with sadness as our loved ones are enjoying their meals in heaven. We were without Sue and Suzanne, grandma and daughter. No family should have to experience the grief and loss. We go back to Winehouse to celebrate those no longer with us. this message still rings true, and thank you Katy for your attentive and excellent service . The bottomless cocktails.and prosseco deal.plus 3 courses of.fantastic.tasty food. We were 5: (7) (4) and the team of cocktail waiters and food waiters kept us replenished for the full 2 hours we had the table for. The price per person was set however much we drank. Brilliant.

Enjoyed the experience overall, staff were on point, but in my opinion the food was just average. If I'm spending above average money, I expect above average food!

After walking passed many times during trips to Lichfield, I finally had the opportunity to experience it having been invited to a breakfast event being hosted there. Have to give a massive shout out to the staff who provided an endless stream of excellent coffee and what must be the best laid out table of mouth watering pastries and fruit I've seen in some time. Spoke to a few people who are regulars and they all mentioned how good the food is, and in particular, their Sunday lunch. Suffice to say, I shall be returning to give it a try.

A lovely bar and restaurant with quality food and drink. The staff were really friendly and polite. The rack of lamb that I had you could cut with a butter knife such was the tenderness! The ambience was fantastic too with customers dressed to a high standard and the great music playing just at the right level so you didn't have to shout at each other when having a conversation. We are planning another visit very soon! Well done The Wine House!
