Solihull is home to a thriving independent food and drink scene.
There are some brilliant venues across the borough, including in villages such as Knowle, Olton and Hampton-in-Arden, as well as Solihull town cenre.
The Sunday Times recently named Dorridge and Knowle among the best places to live in the West Midlands region and UK, with its food and drink venues contributing to that title.
For this reason, we’ve decided to have a closer look at the borough’s very best pubs and bars.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at some of our favourite food and drink establishments in Solihull.
