About Old House At Home
Harborne's go-to for a proper Sunday carvery, and one that a chain pub pulls off better than most independents nearby. The vegetable selection alone sets it apart — a spread that reviewers keep calling the best they've seen at any carvery, nothing overcooked, the meat arriving hot and portioned generously. Fish and chips does the job on days when the carvery isn't the plan. Staff are the constant that brings people back: Donna, Nicky and the team handle everything from regular tables to a last-minute birthday party of ten children with the same unhurried friendliness. The Wacky Warehouse soft play has its own under-fives section, which makes this a practical family call. When England were in the World Cup quarter-final the place was packed and orders still came through at speed — that says something about how the kitchen holds up under pressure.
Old House At Home is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
In the last 90 days, Old House At Home has drawn 35 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
What Stands Out
Carvery execution
Recent reviews praise hot meat, well-cooked roast potatoes, and a broad vegetable selection—one reviewer noted it was the best they'd seen at a carvery and not overcooked.
Staff attentiveness
Named staff members (Donna, Nicky, Nikki) are repeatedly singled out for remembering regulars, handling special requests, and stepping in during emergencies—one facilitated a ten-child birthday party at short notice after a venue power cut.
Accessibility and inclusivity
Wheelchair accessible throughout (entrance, parking, restroom, seating), free Wi-Fi and parking, soft-play area for young children, and GBP data marks it LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safespace.
