Called in here with my wife for the first time before going to the Hippodrome. I’d read the reviews and all was good. We’ll it lived up to its reputation. The service was A1 as was the food. Had a great pint of Guinness too. We sat close to the entrance /bar on high tables which was cosy but there were regular tables throughout. Same outside and partially under cover, nice to see folk stood outside too. The menu was varied & good, I tried one of their pies and loved it. We ordered via the app that we found with the menu, all easy and the food came out in very good time. The lady serving us was very friendly and polite and cleared our tables in good time after we’d finished which is always a good sign. A very nice pub, well run so will definitely recommend to family & friends and call in again. We’ll done The Old Contemptibles 👍

We visited this pub while visiting Birmingham from Canada in late May. It is a proper pub with a fantastic history, decor and atmosphere. We visited twice, first during a very busy Thursday evening and again, on a quiet evening the following week. Both visits provided us with differing but equally enjoyable experiences. In total, we ordered the very generous fish and chips, sausages with mash potatoes and a mouth watering onion sauce, steak and ale pie with vegetables. We washed it down with pints of Peroni and Carling beer. On both occasions, we were served by absolutely wonderful staff members. Even on the very busy first visit, our server was aware that our orders were a bit late (we hadn't even noticed). She apologized and offered us a free desert (a pleasant surprise indeed) Many Kudos to her!. On our second visit, we were well taken care of by a friendly male server. We felt like very valued customers.....this is a very proper pub indeed! Thank you for such memorable experiences at your establishment! We highly recommend The Old Contemptibles when visiting Birmingham City Centre.

First time visiting a Nicholson's Pub and so glad it was this one. We booked in advanced and asked to be away from the TV (as Rugby was going to be on) and we were put in the back room and it was so lovely and peaceful and away from the crowd. It was just me and my Mum and it was so nice to have a sit down meal and a catch up. We are both Vegetarians and we didn't think much of the option for the mains so we made up our own main meal with starters and sides and it was sooooo gorgeous!! We had the Tomato and Shallot tartlet, halloumi fries and triple cooked chips along with cocktails and drinks and honestly it was the nicest meal we have had in ages. We will 100% be coming back to The Old Contemptibles. The app was easy to us to order or you can order at the desk or staff also come over so there is lots of options. The toilets were clean as well and the whole experience was great!
