Graham Coombs left this review about The Garden House
A large and rambling Chef & Brewer establishment, seemingly running through a row of houses joined together. Fairly standard semi rustic/historic interior and largely given over to dining, although there is a tolerable section used more by drinkers near the bar, also a tabled garden at the rear. Only Greene King beers nowadays, with Abbot and Old Speckled Hen on with IPA and Yardbird 'coming soon' but condition was good.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Garden House
Substantial Chef & Brewer pub / restaurant in a terrace of old (but not obviously impressive) buildings on the main Hagley Road. Once inside, you find the expected semi-traditional furniture and decor in the various seating and (mostly) dining areas on three sides of the bar counter. It has previously had something of a reputation for having a better real ale offering than one might anticipate, but certainly not on my visit. However, that said, my pint of Greene King IPA (£4.35) - the only cask beer available from the four handpumps - was in very good shape .

As Soupy says a better choice of ales than I expected. Decent enough place with friendly staff. The beer was fine and I would pop in again if passing.
