Old House At Home

You'll find yourself on a leafy stretch of Lordswood Road in one of Birmingham's most residential corners, and the Old House at Home is exactly what it promises: honest, no-nonsense pub territory. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar on a Tuesday afternoon and families gather on Sunday roasts, all rubbing shoulders without anyone making a fuss. The Greene King chain means you know what you're getting—solid ales, straightforward food, and a space that feels lived-in rather than designed. Harborne's got plenty of coffee spots and restaurants trying hard, but this pub isn't trying. It just works.
