We enjoyed a lovely meal here last weekend before a day at the Test match. From the very friendly welcome to the excellent small plates food, everything was spot on. Couldn't fault it and very good value for money for the level of expertise on show. Wouldn't hesitate eat here again, if only we lived closer. Thanks all.
We had a wonderful dinner here last night. My husband & I are both vegan, which we noted down when booking. Upon our arrival our menu had been starred to show which dishes could be made vegan - this made the ordering process very easy! Everything was so delicious! There’s such a cosy, intimate feel to the restaurant. Service was excellent too, everyone was so friendly & helpful. Highly recommend!
Next level Sunday roast
I’ve helped make Sunday roasts since I was knee high to my father. I know, from my family’s efforts, what a good Sunday roast should be. So I thought.
I sat in the comfortable, bright setting of Verbena to be entertained by a taste sensation. I ordered the pork belly with apple sauce served with yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roasted carrots & parsnips, cauliflower cheese, braised red cabbage, buttered greens, house vindaloo & gravy. The attention to detail of the taste, texture profile of every ingredient. It made me react in a contradicting manner. On the one hand, I applauded it. On the other I felt unhappy that my Sunday roast efforts weren’t anywhere near this level.
The meal, the contemporary, classy setting. It’s a bargain for a £16 tour de force roast.
I would love to meet the chef one day and thank her for elevating such an iconic meal.
Beautiful little restaurant that is working hard to make its mark. Some dishes hit and miss. Pasta dishes very under seasoned. Beef ribs fantastic. Cheese and desserts very good. Worth a visit.
Incredible Sunday roast! Everything beautifully cooked and sides with such fresh ingredients. A curry side is even included and goes perfectly with absolutely everything. The roast potatoes are the best I've had anywhere.
For kids you can order a mini plate of roast. Excellent beverage options alongside. Service was perfect and a relaxing environment.
I always love a visit to Verbena. It's a great place for a relaxed weekday lunch, and their evening, Modern British menu changes with the seasons and incorporates lots of local ingredients. The whole team are really passionate about what they do and we're so lucky to have such a gem of a restaurant on our doorstep here in Stirchley.
Delightful evening, had a few recommendations to visit so pleased to see it lived up to its billing.
Excellent service, we were made to feel very welcome. Small menu but delivered on every course and such good value at £30 for 3 x courses. Hake and beef cheeks for mains, but all courses were good. Special mention for a good cheese selection. Thoughtful and well presented food without the pretentiousness of other places.
Look forward to our next visit.
I decided to treat myself to a visit to Verbena for my birthday lunch. The restaurant may be small but the food is epic and the staff are brilliant! Big thank you to Chloe and the team, that was a meal to remember!
The food is so delicious and fresh - we’ve been a couple of times and always love the variety in the menu. Thank you for being part of lovely Stirchley x
A fantastic dinner was had here a few weeks ago. Each plate was absolutely delicious, especially the fish pâté and the vanilla and apple mousse (hands down one of the best desserts I’ve ever tried!) We are lucky to have Verbena in the local area, they’re doing an amazing job and I look forward to going back soon!!
