The Physician
For those looking for a pub in Edgbaston Village, this is a perfect choice. The building was originally the BMI building and housed the large 'Sampson Gamgee Library for the History of Medicine' which was commissioned in 1863 (yep it's the same Mr Gamgee which Tolkien included in his stories as he once lived in Edgbaston as a child and also attended the nearby Oratory). This is where The Physician takes its name. The pub is serves many local cask ales, a 50 strong wine list and too many spirits to list, all served from a beautiful reclaimed wooden bar. The pub is modern but with a nod to its historic past, with rustic main room with real fire and various small snugs for those wanting a bit more privacy. There's a flag stone walled terrace garden and is ideal for sunny days. The menu is unpretentious with classic British dishes complemented by more exotic influences from other parts of the world.
