Sandwell Valley Visitor Centre ( Formerly Sandwell Park Farm )

What an amazing little gem of a coffee / snack restaurant . With a beautiful little garden at the rear and plenty of seating, you can't go wrong. We ordered food and coffee and wasn't disappointed, it was well worth the price and tasted fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place for somewhere to stop and take a break. Also to add to this post, Digbeth Dining was on site, and it remained dry . Great choice of street food and an array of beverages to choose from.

Great tea room with large range of menu items, vegetarian and vegan options are available. Prices are very reasonable and the staff polite and lovely. Plenty of seating! Only gripe was that the cheese and pickle sandwich wasn't cheese and pickle, it was cheese and onion chutney, and the cheese was grated mozzarella, not mature cheddar. Will come again!

Visited for the first time since before the pandemic and didn't realise it was no longer a farm. The ladies inside were very helpful though, explained to us that the farm animals have been moved on to Forge Mill, and the opening times for there. We then had a look around this centre to see a few of the displays inside. The tea rooms were closed on this particular day, but are usually still there and running.

We visited for Santa in Sandwell valley, the ladies in the admission hut were great, they told us about the elf craft things we could do, about Santa and the Christmas tree trail, our appointment was for 2.30, and we joined the queue for Santa, the elf (Vince pie) that was riding up and down on his bike/plane hybrid thing was hilarious, dad jokes a plenty, but the queue was growing and all of us were finding it hard to keep the kids entertained, we waited for atleast half an hour or more on a muddy cold track, Santa was ok, my daughter isn’t the most confident, so we didn’t force her and we went off to get some food, we placed our order only to be told (no signs) that the breakfast type sandwiches finished at 11.30am, so ordered a cheese and beans jacket, (I wasn’t asked which size I wanted it was just assumed it was adult size even though my toddler was standing next to me) a club sandwich and then I asked what size she had put through - was adult sized so ordered my toddler a child size one, we waited over an hour for our food, my toddler was growing louder and louder as she was hungry and other guests were served before us even if they came in after, so food eaten and we headed to the elf crafts, everywhere was shut! It was nearly five and on my tickets it said it was open till 6! We were kicked out! If we hadn’t have waited so long for Santa and for food we may have actually got to do the other bits we’d paid for, really disappointed and I’d recommended the venue previously to all in my mom group…. I will not be coming again!

Lovely walk round, the rabbit village and play area is great, kids loved it and enjoyed their time there. Didn’t buy no food or. Drink though so unfortunately can’t say much for that. There usually is a charge to pay but we were told it was free to enter, there is s gift shop before you enter the out buildings where they sell toys and many other things. The old farm which did have animal in were empty and Emmy kids were quite gutted has we went on a Sunday so unsure if they let animals out on that day. Has a museum and historical facts about the area which were interesting.
