With a fun vibe and great deals for regular customers, The Tardebigge is a modern independent restaurant and bar created by a third generation of hospitality professionals who know how to get people enjoying themselves. With their tagline ‘Good hosts, good food and drink, good times,’ these upbeat millennials – two brothers and a sister – have harnessed a winning combination of feel-good factors to their village venue between Bromsgrove and Redditch. Built by local aristocrat the Earl of Plymouth in 1911, The Tardebigge became the village hall in 1911. Now it has been fully refurbished in contemporary mode and repurposed by Patrick, Francesca and Jonathan Owens into a venue embracing quality, sustainability and vibrant décor, together generating a great atmosphere for socialising and celebrating. The food is almost all cooked from scratch using quality ingredients, seasonal and locally sourced when possible and always freshly made. Drinks include The Tardebigge’s signature cocktails, good wines and a wide range of beers and the two come together in cut-price splendour

Customers can also take up free membership of The Tardebigge’s Good Host Group Club, operating 4 to 7pm Monday to Friday and offering 15% off food two for one pizzas, £6 cocktails and other bargains.
