Jonathans In The Park

The afternoon tea was delightful. Adorable decor and china. Quirky presentation and nice service. The scones were so good! I made the booking in the morning and they accommodated my dietary needs (vegetarian) which is much appreciated as many tea places do not. We ended up last to leave as it felt like being transported to a historic manor. The park surrounding the restaurant is very lovely as well, for a stroll after. And there’s a free parking lot! Hope a new similar location is acquired in this part of Birmingham as would love to come back.

With my first mouthful I was transported, eyes closed, somewhere so comforting and delicious I cannot describe. I ordered the mushroom omelette which came with chunky Victorian chips and colcannon. I loved it. The omelette was cooked to perfection fluffy juicy and oh so buttery, and the colcannon was fresh yet comforting. Everything you expect from a quality English eatery, service was spot on too. I left Johnathan’s feeling uplifted and very content. Compliments to the chef.

This secret treasure restaurant is my favorite in Bearwood. the whole restaurant setting with historic decoration and the large green color that can be seen by the window, these are all reasons why I love here. Tried for afternoon tea and Sunday roast beef, both were good, wish there were more options in the menu.

My son and I visited Jonathan's yesterday afternoon. We ordered Victorian seasoned chips which were very tasty and traditional soft drinks. I had heard that service was slow but we had no problems. The staff were pleasant and helpful. It was very warm that day so we chose to sit outside. Unfortunately only one of the tables, which were red hot, had any shade in the form of a parasol.
