    The classy Rectory pub is an establishment in St. Paul’s square. It has been serving quality craft beers to generations of customers. I’ve never had the pleasure of eating here. I’m happy to say, after my visit, I am chuffed with the experience. It is 21st century, COVID sensitive culinary experience. The customer downloads an app, allowing them to choose food and pay for it. Once paid for on the app, all you have to do is patiently wait. The food selection is humble, but a familiar pub affair with modern twists. The standout dish for me was the duck and pork sausage roll. It was a perfect combination of light puff pastry, meat and sauce. It looked beautiful too. Each dish was prepared to a high quality and tasted superb. The serving staff were humble and helpful. The back yard, outdoor seating area is enclosed, stacked with garden brollies and out of the wind. Just bring a puffer jacket in case the British weather does something unusual.

    In Birmingham on my own for a night (September 2022), I could not have found a better place to eat, drink and chill out. The bar was lively, not rowdy, and the food was just what I'd hoped for. All of the staff were friendly and helpful without overdoing it, and even took care to accommodate my food intolerances. The Rectory's on St Paul's Square, a peaceful green spot in the Jewellery Quarter with an interesting old church.

    Went out with work colleagues and had an amazing time. Played dart games and there are multiple versions of it. Trust me, you will not get bored. You can combine players to create multiple teams and play it as a team game. Think the price was £40 for 2 hrs. I am a vegetarian and not many options were available. Had flat bread and hummus. Other team members had burgers 🍔 and they seemed happy 😊

    Went here for a work Christmas do and had a very reasonable meal considering the number of us. Steak was cooked a good medium rare which was also impressive for the number served at the same time. Not the cheapest and quite busy but overall a good night.

    Visited with a stag do for some late night darts. Legends were made that night, many drinks were had, but to possibly the worst soundtrack there ever was, the music was truly dreadful. Change that, and this would be a 5 star review.

    2 hour stint on works Xmas do. Staff friendly. Wasn't too packed. Not much on offer in terms of ale. Mainly Lager wine and spirits. Didn't opt for food. As not much on offer for my budget.

    Very nice waitress and good food. The only thing that spoilt it for us was that the music was too loud and conversation was difficult. I did ask the waitress, but she said she couldn't do anything about it. So I hope this message gets to someone who can.

    Went to the rectory for the first time this weekend and was very impressed. We were on a bit of a crawl so popped in but ended up having 3 pints. Nice atmosphere and really friendly staff. Hopefully will get onto the dart boards next time (Our fault for not booking!)

    Really nice staff, cosy place right next to the St Paul's Church. Went for an early diner on a Tuesday evening and ordered a veg meal (butternut, brie and beetroot pie with new potatoes and Mediterranean veg) and it was delicious! Came on a warm plate and was tasty and delicate. Also had a lovely organic ginger beer (non alcoholic). They don't use plastic straw but paper ones. Highly recommend this place!

    Haven't eaten here, just drinks. They allow a small group to meet here occasionally for an early lunchtime meeting. Very welcoming and good bar service.

    Really nice bar we stumbled upon as we were waiting to go somewhere we had booked. Decent selection of beers on draught, polite and friendly staff and a little outside seating area as well out front.

    Nice for casual dining and cocktails. The prices are reasonable too. Friendly staff You do have to pay a deposit to reserve the table but this is deducted from your bill

    Great place to have a work lunch. Generally quite quiet at lunch time. Food can take a while so make sure to order quick. But always had a really nice meal

    Really nice place. I just have a Guinness but most of the tables were booked for the dining. Probably will give a shot next time in Birmingham

    Had a lovey few hours here, we had 3 hours playing darts with a food platter. We were a group oldest in their 70s and youngest being 10 years old. Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon and all members of the group felt comfortable and enjoyed their visit. The food was good value and most importantly good quality. The only thing that let the Rectory down was the toilets (being honest we only used the ones downstairs) but the tap in the men's didn't work and the women's could have done with a good clean. A spot of paint wouldn't hurt either(in the toilets that's is) saying that I would com back and as you can see I have given 4 stars and it would have been 5 had the toilets been clean and useable

    I finally find an amazing place to have a full meal with quality! The food it was just amazing and the desert!!!!!!!! So, good that I dont even have the right word! Very well done! The place was not full of people, what gaves you space and the time to relax, exactly what I like when I go out for a meal. The staff was very friendly. I truly recommend !
