Tunwalls English Kitchen — Restaurant in Wolverhampton

They say that you never appreciate what's right on your doorstep. As a Wulfrunian having lived in Wolverhampton for over 60 years I set foot in the building known as Lindie Lou's a timber framed building dating back to 1609 for the very first time. Occupied by Tunwalls cafe restaurant a family operated business, I decided to pay a visit after hearing the owner being interviewed on radio and after several TV appearances and was not disappointed. A friendly welcome awaited me from the young lady behind the counter and I plumped for the gammon,egg and chips garnished with half a cooked tomatoe, tasty garden peas and a pot of cold pineapple cubes. What can I say, the plate was enormous, chips were very generous in portion and the cold cubed pineapple was a great change to the routine charred pineapple often experienced with cooked gammon. At £10 I considered this fantastic value and topped it off with a mug of tea for £2. Waiting time was about 20 minutes at mid day which was acceptable if you want decently cooked hot food. Most of the downstairs tables were full which says something for a Monday - Have I been missing out on something for the past few years? The answer is YES. What great value and attentive service. This must be one of Wolverhampton's eatery gems. A small test of customer service was when I asked if my pot of tea could be topped up with hot water. With no hesitation this was actioned without charge - A small request which was duly obliged - Top customer service in my opinion. At the end of my meal I enquired about the upstairs room eating areas and was duly given a brief tour. The one upstairs room includes a Wolverhampton tribute area including former Wolves logoed dining chairs. Booking of this area on home match days is a MUST. Overall a gem of a place which I will return to when next in the city. Keep up the good work - Top marks to this hidden...

If I could rate higher than 5 stars then I certainly would! From the minute we walked in we were treated with the upmost respect which continued for the duration of our visit. The staff were so friendly and helpful, even though they were at full capacity we never once felt rushed or recieved service that went below their already impeccable standard.

Whilst we waited for our food I noticed a sign that explained the rules of a Christmas game in which you had to find 4 Christmas Pudding baubles hidden around the cafe and win free drinks if completed. This became a talking point with the staff who explained into it a little further and it was absolutely delightful to see how much creativity and effort they had put into making this place as wonderful as it is.

Our food arrived, presented wonderfully and piping hot. One Hunters chicken and one cheese burger, however we were trying bits of each others meals as it all just looked so delicious. The burger was so succulent and juicy, served with a caramelized onion chutney which was to die for and everything was very clearly cooked fresh and of a high food quality. Considering how stunning the food was, we found the prices extremely modest, in fact we remarked about how a similar meal would cost us nearly twice as much at other places not too far away!

There was a beautiful selection of cakes and sweet treats along the counter which gave it a lovely home-ly feel. The building itself is very old and beautiful but maintained very well, the whole experience was a pleasure from start to finish. I think next time we're in Wolverhampton we'll book a table in advance as it's a very popular little place! 10/10, will be recommending...

This is the third time we have eaten at Tunwalls. We found it through sheer luck when googling caf's in Wolverhampton and thank goodness! We've now had three beautiful meals here. Tonight, myself, my husband and in laws have just had the most delicious three course Christmas dinner. From the moment we stepped in from the freezing temperatures, we were warmed instantly. The family who own it are so lovely, chatty and attentive, the food was humongous portions for the very small prices you pay in comparison to other places and we've just had a wonderful evening with delicious hot food! Crackers on the table, candy canes, able to bring your own drinks. We will definitely be back and only hope more people discover this place, as it is surely the best cafe in Wolverhampton. We will be back in...
