Taste Collective — Restaurant in Metropolitan Borough of Solihull

We regularly visit. Often, we walk the dog in the local park and pay Taste Collective a visit on the way through town. Dog friendly and spoilt rotten! Most of the time we just grab a drink but we have eaten there a few times. Our family group have food allergies to contend with, but the manager is always helpful and reassuring - as it can be a bit daunting ordering online from a group of different vendors. No need to worry though; our needs were managed perfectly. All the food we've eaten there is top quality and a good price. We went there on Father's Day and burgers were half price. My daughter and husband ordered burgers and literally inhaled them, they were that good. I'd ordered a lamb shwarma rice bowl which, despite looking longingly at those burgers when they arrived, did not disappoint. The wait for the food was minimal - just enough time to get your drinks and have a chat. We've eaten from all the current food vendors in the past and have been pleased each time. The idea of the Taste Collective is fab and well worth a visit. As it is located in a covered area, outside; bear this in mind when planning your visit. Although heaters are hanging from the ceiling everywhere to deal with cold weather, it may be too hot inside on a hot, summers day. Even on quiet days, there seems to be a good buzz about the place. We'd really like to attend one of their quiz nights, but doubt it would be suitable for our daughter. So... • Amazing food • Quick service • Welcoming and friendly front-of-house staff • Good prices and value for money I thoroughly recommend a visit here. See...

Taste collective always offer great tasty food and a unique atmosphere having the different traders in the one location. Strip Club Streetfood offer a great choice of tasty smash burgers and sometimes have a special burger on the menu too. The pizza place does lovely fresh pizza which are traditionally cooked, but the star if their menu has to be the dough balls. These dough balls are really tasty and can be ordered with either Nutella or Biscoff drizzled over the top. Cleopatras kitchen is also quite tasty but not our preferred cuisine so can’t comment to much on that.

They have a good selection of drinks and most the time the staff are helpful and friendly. Taste Collective also do quiz nights on occasions which are well run and usually based on a decent genre. However, if you want to be there for a quiz night it is highly recommended to book in advance!

Only downside really would be the fact that the food is a little overpriced, and if you want a meal and chips and drink for 2 people, you will be paying quite a fair bit, we always compare it to same cost almost as going to...

We went here on a Saturday lunch time and there was only one food stand open with another one "maybe opening later" perhaps it is clarified somewhere that individual stands might not follow the posted opening hours but I didn't see this. We were also confused as the website isn't the clearest about who is currently operating. The website shows, under the heading "this week's traders", a category of "See all traders". This is a list of everyone who has ever operated here not just this week's traders.

For full disclosure, we didn't end up eating here as one of the party was gluten free and didn't have many options available to them. I'm writing this review just to highlight some areas of improvement for the company and to make sure other customers don't make the same mistake as us. I hope others go and try it out but just know...
