The Town House is a delightful and sophisticated venue, a place where people of good taste can relax and enjoy some of the better things of life, appreciating the mix of good food and a selection of well chosen wines and champagnes to accompany it.

The owners say, 'We have a passion for hospitality, and the desire to deliver great food in a relaxing environment'. Few would dispute that they succeed admirably. This is very much due to Head Chef Rob Wear, whose taster menu is one of the features of The Town House where guests can sample a selection of his signature dishes spread over seven courses.

The winter à la carte yields a number of starters to include ballotine of cured salmon with crème fraîche and caviar, a classic Caesar salad, goose liver parfait with sour cherry foam, chocolate jelly and warm toast, or crispy duck pancakes with glass noodles and hoisin sauce.

Dishes that can be adapted for starters or main courses include paella with seafood, tiger prawns, mussels and squid, or smoked haddock fishcake with fruity curry sauce and pineapple.

Main courses number around ten or so, covering a good range of dishes that will appeal widely starting with red wine poached salmon with young spinach and pea puree. The Town House steak burger is served with Swiss cheese, onions rings and hand cut chips, while herb crusted Cornish lamb rump comes with carrots, peas and herb gnocchi.

Those looking for a slightly more global taste might find the tandoori roasted sea bass, cumin crushed potatoes and garlic aioli to be an interesting addition to their lunch or dinner menu. Another firm favourite amongst the many regulars would be the 12oz sirloin steak on the bone or an 8oz fillet steak.

Puddings are as tempting as ever, with hot chocolate fondant and vanilla ice cream, which simply ensure any thought of a diet is seriously banished! There's also baked Alaska sundae or caramelised lemon tart which tantalise and satisfy every palate.

The taste of The Town House menu is your answer to a quick bite at lunchtime, with choices that could embrace risotto Nero with tiger prawns and garlic butter; sashimi of blue fin tuna, shisu cress, wasabi and spring onions, and leek, mushroom and ricotta parcel with aubergine caviar. Have lunch there and you can leave your car in safety whilst you shop in Solihull.

A broad-church wine list is well supported by a range of classic cocktails and some of the more exotic draught beers. The Town House benefits from a fabulously appointed Private Dining Room, which is suitable for any family celebration or occasion and is also used for corporate hospitality, meetings, cocktail parties, product launches, etc. There is also a comprehensive event guide to include a variety of programmes.
