Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We popped in on Saturday lunch time, we had a meal there a few months ago we enjoyed it and we happened to be in the area again so we decided to try it again. We really enjoyed our meals again, my wife had lamb...chops from the specials board and the chef did her gravy without mint as requested. I had the burger I asked for it without slaw and cheese it came as I requested it, I was pleasantly surprised because this doesn't normally happen. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend The Three Tuns, Sutton Coldfield.More

I’ll not bore you with all the nonsense that’s been written prior to this. Totally immaculate is how I’d describe this fine fine ale house. I would like to give my kindest, upmost respect to the young gentleman named Henry behind the bar, incredulously good...service. Bowler hats off to all the welcoming staff. Especially to the light of the establishment henry. A wonderful charming man. I will gladly revisit this beautiful ale house. Purely for the generosity and impeccable manors of the staff. Good day kind sirs, I highly recommend a visit.More

Really like this pub been going a few times now. The bar staff are very welcoming and they have a good variety of drinks I especially like the real ale. We had a nice lunch at a very reasonable price might make this a regular...stop off. I've been with my lads a few times now and they really like it as well. Will take a couple of photos next time and try to post them. I think this is probably the best pub in SuttonMore

Love the Tuns, friendly staff, quality beers, food good value for money, but.....the Samosas were AWFUL, to the extent that they were inedible!! The samosa bar is a franchise....much improvement needed.

What a great institution the British pub is ! The Three Tuns represents a “Local” at its best. Great cask ales, friendly locals, and a relaxing atmosphere. The bar staff are always welcoming and after only a few visits will be treating you as a...friend. The food is pub grub at its best (plus some surprises) and is reasonably priced. Landlord Jack arranges weekend nights of live music with some of the best Midland’s bands and some great local musicians play on “open mic” nights. The history and architecture of this historic coaching inn is impressive, but, most of all, it is the best pub in Sutton Coldfield.More

It's been a while since I have been in here. One of my favourite haunts when I lived in the locality. Paul was a great manager and I'm sure he is missed. Toni, the lovely female bartender is still here and possesses her wonderful smile....The ales I used to enjoy here are to be no longer available (Wainwright's & Lancaster Bomber) so I opted for a similar one to the Bomber - Amber. Not too much of an amber colour, but great taste. Still a good crowd in here, but alas, not the same without the live music. Always a pleasure!More

Stopped in here for dinner, with my wife and daughter, on a Sunday evening around 7:30. We easily found a table and ordered our meals at the bar. I got the fish and chips, my wife had the steak and ale pie and my daughter...got the English breakfast. My wife really enjoyed the steak and ale pie and was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with a side of peas and carrots. My order of fish and chips came with a starch and a green. I chose chips and the vegetables. I also got peas and carrots plus some Brussels sprouts. I was disappointed that all of my food was not as hot as I would have liked when it arrived at the table. My daughter enjoyed her English breakfast. The prices were very reasonable. We would definitely return in the future.More

We have just started visiting the Three Tuns since Christmas- after another of our favourite local pubs for food has become a chain with very average food. The food is fantastic- nice home cooked feel to it, we have eaten here about 6 times now...and not had a bad meal. Great price, big portions and really really tasty! A new favourite of ours for when we don’t fancy cooking.More

Built in the 1500's and now owned by Thwaites, it is still a traditional pub, comprising just 3 small rooms, and a covered passageway. They sell 4 Real Ales, and unusually 6 keg lagers. it is recommended by CAMRA. It has several TV screens showing...Sky Sports, plus also free WiFi. There is live music of an evening, and it is also possible to book a "guest Musician" spot. The menu is very comprehensive with everything from Traditional "Pub Grub" to Tapas, Pasta,Curry etc. Not particularly cheap but good quality.More

I went there with my brother on a Monday lunchtime, there were very few people at that time. I haven't been in the Tuns since I watched the Rugby World Cup final in 2003 with a bunch of friends. There have been some dramatic changes...since then, but all seem to the good. I found it very comfortable and nice and clean, my brother and me had a good laugh reminiscing about how we used to hang out there in the '60's. The guy behind the bar (possibly the landlord) was very friendly and took our orders with the minimum of fuss. I had scampi and chips, my brother the chilli. I was impressed by my chips, they looked hand cut and were nice and thick and the scampi were crisp, firm and piping hot. My brother enjoyed the chilli and really liked the sour cream dip. My only gripe is that his sour cream came in a pot, whereas the tartare sauce I wanted came in sachets. After our food we had a wander around looking at the photo's of Sutton of old. We're old enough to remember some of them, particularly the original parade. Before we left we both used the toilet and the mens at least was very clean. I can't comment on the ladies obviously. Based on our visit I'd be happy to recommend this pub to anyone. It has a fascinating history and you can read about it on the pubs website. It's the wrong end of Sutton for me, but if I'm ever up that end I'll make a point of popping in, even if it's only for a pintMore
