Pigeons Parlour
Latest Reviews
We went for afternoon tea today with friends who have moved to the UK from Hong Kong. What a gem of a place. Everything, from our welcome to our food, the great staff, Glenn Miller music, all was perfect. We will definitely go again. I can't believe the Pigeons Parlour has been there for 9 years. We've missed out!

What an absolute gem of a place. I recently visited Pigeons Parlour in Great Barr and was completely blown away by the entire experience.
The interior is a beautifully curated, nostalgic 1950s-style cafe, packed with wonderful details, vintage decor, and cosy crocheted blankets that make you feel instantly welcome.
The hospitality here goes far above and beyond. The kitchen actually closed at 4:00 PM, and even though we arrived well after that, the lovely lady who runs it still went right back into the kitchen to make a fresh, beautiful pot of tea and serve that incredible cake especially for us. The couple who own and run the parlor are just beautiful people.
I was served a traditional 1950s-style teapot complete with a knitted tea cosy, alongside a slice of homemade Victoria sponge cake. It was, without a doubt, the absolute best Victoria sponge I have ever had—perfectly light and unbelievable flavor. To top it off, my friend had a pint of Guinness and declared it the best Guinness they’ve ever tasted.
We are already planning our next visit to try their afternoon tea with sandwiches. We are fully committed to supporting this wonderful little independent business.
Thank you so much for your incredible kindness and for a brilliant experience—you have officially gained two new regulars. Highly, highly recommended.Will be back soon.

A superbly cool 1940's style cafe. If you are in your 50's or have older parents you need to take them here as it is like a time capsule. The afternoon tea was amazing and plentiful.

Oldie worldly 1940’s theme with tablecloths and memorabilia, good range of afternoon tea sandwiches etc, licensed also, when you’re outside it just looks like a shop but inside you’re transported back into the 40’s with the ambiance and music

I was invited to an open mic evening to see a friend of a friend perform.
What a lovely little place! It’s very small so very atmospheric. On the night I was there there was a trained Italian singer which was a bonus and he was just fantastic!
Drinks are well priced and the only food on offer was cheese and onion cobs which suited me down to the ground. Loved it.

A lovely café that serves a lovely afternoon tea and has a lovely vintage, unique vibe to it.
A lovely selection of items in my afternoon tea, including sandwiches consisting of salmon and cucumber, cheese and pickle, ham, and marmalade. A raisonless scone (much appreciated!), with clotted cream and jam, a selection of mini cakes and as much tea or coffee that you could drink. One sandwich was cut into a heart shape, which was so cute! 🥰 Very aesthetically pleasing.
The toilet is lovely and feels like a room in someone's house, not a normal toilet that you'd expect to be available to the public on a day-to-day basis.
The staff were friendly, the music was lovely and the other diners looked like good, decent people. I'll definitely visit again. It was lovely.
My only gripes were that they served salmon sandwiches on the vegetarian afternoon tea. Vegetarians don't eat fish, pescatarians do. As a venue that is based solely around food, this is unacceptable and shocking that you are unaware of this. What rennet is used in the cheese? Do you know? As, not all cheese is vegetarian... Also, there are no menus online and you can't contact them via email, you can only phone them, which isn't always convenient.
But still, a fabulous venue for spending time with friends and family, or to do something special. I'd definitely go again.

Visited Pigeons Parlour with my step mom earlier this year as a birthday present, had afternoon tea. I was SO impressed …. There were 5 of us and we got a whole cake stand filled of delicious freshly made sandwiches and cakes each! With loose leaf tea too it was just perfect.
It’s amazing value for money and such a lovely venue.
My step mom loved it so much she brought two friends for birthday treats the other weekend.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Drinks are well priced.
Cannot fault the venue. Love it.
