The Poppy and Parliament

Atmosphere and aesthetic was great; they really made an effort to bring a British pub to Huntsville. Salted old fashioned was very smooth, but not much to brag about on the palate. Alabama green tomatoes were perfectly fried, but the money maker was the Bloody Mary marinara sauce. Fish and chips were fried perfectly (batter could have had a little more seasoning, but perfect mouth feel), recommend a little salt with the mashed peas. Felt the bar was really pulling a lot of weight as the greeter, coffee drink maker, and phone answer on top of normal bar duties; cut her a little slack that it took a minute to get a menu but first drink was out fast and attentive after the small rush at the door.

Stopped by here on the way to Birmingham. Random Google moment. I must say it was a delightful experience! We ate outside. Ordered drinks and my mixed drink was worst part of this experience. My margarita was too strong it was more like a shot of tequila. BUT the appetizer fried green tomatoes was amazing! Fried to perfection and served with a tomato based dipping sauce. We ordered steaks (Porterhouse and Cowboy). Both steaks were cooked Medium and served with sauces that were delicious. The cowboy was served with a cream based sauce with spinach, onions and mushrooms. The porterhouse steak was served with a cheese based cream sauce for the potatoes and a brown mushroom gravy like sauce. Great seasoning and good pairings for sides. Our bill was a little pricey but worth the money. We would return!

Had dinner. I ordered the duck which was quite good. My wife ordered a chicken sausage dish. She said the sausage by itself was dry but when mixed with the other items on her plate was fine. This review is based on my meal though, not hers. Atmosphere was good. We had the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer which was very tasty as well. Between drinks, appetizer and two dishes our bill came to around $105... so figure $50 per person without dessert. Their dessert menu consisted of two items, neither of which tempted us too much. I would go again.

We are from out of town but decided to stop for a drink and dinner. We were thrilled at our choice. They had a nice selection of beers on tap and wines. We started with fried green tomatoes and it was delicious! After that I had the special-stuffed pork chop with goat cheese, spinach and tomatoes on top of asparagus. Incredibly good!! My wife had the shepherds pie and was equally happy with her meal. You will not be disappointed.
My only recommendation would be to lower the music level:).

Traveling through Huntsville and was looking for a place to watch the Euros. Poppy and Parliament was a great find. Very welcoming, great service, and fantastic food. I had the fish and chips and as an Englishman, I have a high standard in the fish and chips department. Happy to say that the fish and chips served here was delicious!

Thanks for Dave for spending a few minutes chatting with me about the history of the place.

If you’re in or around Huntsville, this is definitely worth a visit!

Amazing little spot! Very helpful staff, spoke with the chef and management as I have food allergies and they were knowledgeable and helpful. They gave me several options and even spoke about cross contamination without me asking. The food was phenomenal! Great place during the day to stop for a few drinks and they’re big on soccer matches as well! Upstairs is the cutest little butcher and specialty shop. Highly recommend!
Pictures: Confit duck with polenta and tomatos and mushrooms and also the appetizer crab cakes.

This place is more than a pub. It’s an experience!! The food choices are unique and delicious, the service was top notch and personal, and the atmosphere is like stepping into a different time and place. The butcher shop upstairs has a fantastic selection of meats, cheeses, pantry items, sweets, and wear. 10/10 recommend!! We will be back.

It was a busy Sunday and we had a lengthy wait but it was worth it. Our waiter, John, was awesome! He knew so much about the menu and how everything was prepared. He was very informative, professional, and timely. I had the pork chop and it was hands down the best I've ever had. My wife said similarly about the salad she got, had some kind of root vegetable. The gnocchi is fantastic! A little pricey but you're getting what you pay for: exceptional food and service.

Went to brunch last Sunday and it was awesome! Authentic, all made in restaurant. The food was just like I had in England. I had the English Breakfast. They also have a store upstairs I didn’t know about. I had been here before but didn’t eat. Our server was Carol and she had a great personality, was super knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend the caramel toffee dessert.

We have never had a bad meal here, and the service has always been exceptional. The fish and chips are a MUST, and if you save room for it the sticky toffee pudding is a real treat. Tonight we tried the crab cakes (so good) and Caitlin (sorry if I picked the wrong spelling!) took great care of us!

Ordered fish and chips and shepherds pie, wine and a cocktail.
Mikey was our waiter and was PHENOMENAL. Attentive, personable, and made a great custom mock tail. It started raining while we ate on the patio and staff checked in, offering to accommodate us. The music was great, patio vibes were perfect.
Everything on the menu sounded tasty and pricing was fair.

Came back Sunday for the brunch and I bought two of my good friends along and I must say we really enjoyed it everything was amazing. Our server was Devin and he did a great job checking on us and answering questions about the menu. I also met the Director of Operations Dave and he was really cool and professional and asked about our experience. We'll definitely be coming back soon

🏴?????? 🇮🇪 Perfect balance of Ireland meets England
🤌🏼🤌🏼 best experience of fish and chips w/ homemade tartar sauce, and mushy peas I have ever had from my travels. Presentation to flavor is amazing
🍺 Perfect, pour Guinness
🤵🏻‍♂ Cozy pub, friendly staff
🥩 Neat grocery and butcher shop upstairs

Best sit-down/nice restaurant we’ve tried so far in Huntsville. Everything was immaculate.

Huge shoutout to our server, Kailey, and the kitchen for being so accommodating to my food allergies and cooking up something just for me. It is so nice to visit restaurants that care this much for their paying guests.

Worth the money and the long-ish wait. For a Friday night they were pretty busy and we waited about an hour, so we walked the park and had a drink before getting a table.

Shepherds pie and roasted duck with wine and whiskey, ending with a few bites of the sticky toffee pudding- all of it was absolutely fantastic. We cannot wait to come again for another date night!!

My favorite restaurant - quite literally!! I make it a point to come P&P every time I visit Huntsville and this past visit was beyond exceptional. Dave (the operations manager) spoke with us and was very hospitable. Our waiter was equally as welcoming and even asked the kitchen for a special request I had. Food as always was incredible, my typical order (the shepard’s pie) is a must if you haven’t tried it. I am so excited to come back during my next trip back down here, well done! :)

Amazing food and cocktails. The Cajun chicken salad was delicious, as was the shepherds pie! 10/10 recommend.

NOT TYPICAL PUB FARE! Excellent choice Ed from menu, carefully prepared by Parliament’s Line Cooks and kitchen staff and carefully delivered to table by serving staff! What a great experience and top notch cooking. The food was delicious and served at a perfect temperature. The Fish and Chips is indeed a signature dish of theirs! I enjoyed my “BANGERS AND MASH,” Sheppard’s Pie was flavorful and oldest boy enjoyed his tomahawk pork steak, all 14 ounces!!! What a great dining experience!

Three of us went here for the first time and we all enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the unique food. Carol was our server. She was friendly, knowledgeable and took her time explaining the dishes.
We shared two appetizers (crab cakes and bruchetta), and three meals (fish and chips, goat cheese tart, and chef Barry's three in one). Everything was exceptional. You can't go wrong with the fish and chips, but I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed the Chef Barry's three in one (minus the Irish bread, which we weren't fans of).
There was a decent amount of street parking. They have high top and regular tables inside and a nice patio out front. Oh, and after we placed our order we went upstairs to their specialty grocery shop which includes a butcher shop and food from the uk and Ireland.
I highly recommend this place!

Excellent Guinness. I don’t really know too much about what makes Guinness this good, they tell me clean lines and twice cooled… Whatever it is it’s the best Guinness I’ve ever had. Also, Gourmet food! Beef, tartar, duck breast, so much good stuff!

I came here as part of my visit with my friend who moved to Huntsville, and I'm so glad we got to go! Last time we tried, it was around St Patty's day and very busy 🤣

This time we easily got a table just after normal lunch rush outside. The weather was so wonderful and everyone was in a good mood for it.
The space is beautiful, both inside and out, and everyone is friendly and helpful.
I'm not a huge alcohol at lunch person, so I just had water. BUT THE FOOD.
I ordered the gnocchi and smoked salmon and my friend ordered the fish and chips. She has been here before, so she knew what she wanted. She even asked for both Mayo and ketchup because she mixes them together and the very kind server mixed it for her! So nice.
The gnocchi and smoked salmon was AMAZING. The portion was also perfect. I was full, and I was only a bit too full because I helped my friend eat her delicious chips!
The prices were reasonable considering the quality and portion of the food, and this is definitely a spot I will return.
I will also bring a cooler next time because their little gourmet grocery is wonderful! You should also check it out.
