Wow is all I can say about the aston tavern ! Went for prosecco afternoon tea with my mother ...knocks spots of any afternoon tea I've ever had and I've had a few at top hotels in the past amazing sandwiches & cakes superb staff and the most heart warming decor that took me in to the past I will definitely be returning and this time maybe try some lunch. A place that I certainly will remember.. A place too go too relax not your usual pub which is what makes the place special thank you too all the wonderful staff who were so lovely while my 1year old decided too have a melt down ! Thumbs up from me!

I had a surprise Baby-shower here at the Aston Tavern for my best friend it was a beautiful place inside with all the old Victorian features pictures and style throughout as we were having afternoon tea that was well fulfilling per-person served on China, the service was attentive and staff are welcoming & friendly. The outside view gives it no justice. But I would definitely recommend if your looking something Victorian or different....I would go back again

What a lovely experience. We arrived for afternoon tea and they were waiting at the door for us. The service was amazing and the food was lovely. We decided to upgrade to the prosecco offer which was a lovely treat. Would thoroughly recommend going and we will go back. The tavern itself has been renovated to the highest standards and they have kept as many original features as possible. The staff are very friendly and will do anything to help. Thank you everyone for making our afternoon so special.

Beautiful, quaint premises which has under gone a massive major refurbishment. Aesthetically pleasing on the eye with original fittings lovingly restored inside and out. The owners, Michelle and her husband were so warm and welcoming even to the point of giving me a tour of the upstairs rooms which are soon to be available. Spic and span. Not a spot of dust anywhere. This is really were the fairytale begins. Picture-book perfect! Think of falling through the 'looking glass' like Alice or stepping into a Dickins novel into the 'Grand House'. A hidden delight! Well done guys, I'll be back and looking forward to it.

Visited today as a treat for my friends retirement and thoroughly impressed with the service and food. Nothing was too much trouble and the scones were the best I have ever tasted! Beautifully renovated, lovely attention to detail and we were given a little tour around when we asked about what else they offer. Millie our waitress was attentive and very polite, checking on us regularly. Highly recommend!

We held a ‘Prosecco Afternoon Tea’ baby shower here yesterday, 25 people and each and every one absolutely loved it! The decor and table set up was amazing, the food was lovely (and plentiful), and the staff were friendly, attentive and accommodating. There are a good range of drinks on offer, particularly Gin and Cider. I will be looking to book an upcoming birthday party there, and friends of ours are looking into having their wedding there. I really can’t recommend this venue enough.

Really loved this beautiful place. Aston Tavern has been renovated to the highest specification. The staff couldn't have been more helpful showing us all around this amazing venue. From afternoon teas in a beautiful place to an amazing beer garden with outside bar. Can't wait to go back ��🖒

It’s Birminghams I’m kept secret, I honestly think it’s great � family run they have done so much but still remained normal and down to earth, I would say it would be the perfect venue for a party or wedding

Great place! Lovely to pop in here fir a pint or two after the Villa win. They do a smashing posh tea (you need to book). Staff are so friendly. It's big and can accommodate a lot of people. Little stage outside fir bands in the Summer. Love it!

This place is super cool. It's got that boojey theme to it. Very well maintained considering they house customers frequently for villa home games. All things seems to be well maintained. It's a 7 min walk to villa park. Good all around access. They also do birthdays/wedding events. Parking is free which is a plus.

I stayed here for the night with my partner & 2 children in the family suite. The place was immaculate & the decor was just amazing. Everywhere you looked, there was something different that caught your eye. Beautifully put together & the story behind the renovation is incredible. Breakfast was included, very generous portions & did not disappoint.

The pub decor is very unexpected considering how close it is to the football ground. The staff were very friendly and sandwiches were fresh and nicely presented. Don't be put off by the road works outside the pub it is still open. Unfortunately it was very quiet so little atmosphere but I'm sure at busier times it would be better. If you are in the area or passing by call in you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Viewed for a family event, so didn't eat or use their facilities at the time of the viewing. The venue is impressive with an oldy-worldy feel about it. Several rooms and areas to use for the time of your booking, which includes an inside courtyard and side garden and a U-shaped main function room. Great for mingling, great little areas to sit and chat away from any music or the busy areas. A small room is available with a large table and suitable chairs, which is great to possibly use for older guests, children, or a reflective area if attending a wake, for example. Caterers will be supplied with hot water but not allowed to use the venue kitchen, even if they are from the Taverns approved list. Table & chair covers are available, with the chair bow in a vast amount of colours. (At a price). The venue appears to supply all your needs required to launch your event. The large function room holds 250 approx people (if memory serves me right). Has a small bar available, area for music / DJing, area for catering set up. It also looks out on both outside aspects. Then you have the larger bar area with Chesterfield Club Chair in Antique Oxblood Red Leather, striking image and lovely atmosphere. (Capacity unrecalled) looks out to the courtyard. Cons: Parking within the grounds is limited. Not sure how many cars can fit. Large enough for a coach, but of course, that will reduce car spaces. Possibly can park on the road out the front, after hours. Times of booking hours available: tbc Cost: tbc

Held an event here for my child's first birthday party, Michelle was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Wouldn't hesitate to book another function here. Decor is extremely pleasant and we had plenty of positive comments from our guests.

We found this place searching for something close to Aston Villa stadium, it fit the bill perfectly location wise. What we didn’t expect to find was the kindest, most helpful people on the planet running it, beautifully done up rooms, immaculate cleanliness and a little slice of history. I stay in a lot of hotels, and service always makes your stay better. From the moment we made contact with this place it was a pleasure to talk to them. Forgot about not too much to ask, these guys are one step ahead and offering whatever they can to make your stay as good as possible. If you need to stay in the area, pick this place. They deserve your business and you couldn’t do any better.

We stayed to attend a concert at Villa Park. From initial enquiry through to arrival, the level of service was superb. Michelle & her team, despite being swamped with hundreds of people all grabbing a beer pre-gig, were always there to make sure we were totally happy. The room was spotless. The brekfast was brilliant. Highly recommended!

Liked the pub and the beer garden was great but went before the Springsteen concert and couldn't get a drink because of the queue at the bar - why not open a bottles only bar in the garden. You'd think with all the Villa games they would have adapted strategies to cope. The food was good but expensive.

Went there for my friend's kid's party. First the negative items - the venue doesn't have a lot of parking, so you may have to park in front of the church nearby. It's fine when there's no service, but it would be a problem when service is on. Positives - it's a lot bigger than it seems from the outside. Includes a lovely quadrant, which is lovely to sit in when the weather is nice. Also you can use your own caterers for your event there, which is a big plus. The staff were nice and helpful too. In all, I like the place and would recommend it.

Fantastic experience from arriving far to early but welcomed to wait in the very classy bar area and snug served with complimentary coffee and tea and even went out of there way to prepare our room 2 hours earlier for our convenience. Fantastic helpful staff wonderfull Victorian decor with a modern twist. Room was a very high standard with quality bedding and towels. Breakfast was five star served on a red hot plate and charming lady who catered to our every need. We will be definitely staying again make sure you book a long enough stay as you will want to stay another night.

Great atmosphere on a match day and a huge space with various bars to ensure queues aren't too big! Spent the day here for the last game of the season and had a blast!
