We haven't visited this pub for a while but it's as good as ever. I nearly always have the liver and onions as they do it so much better than I do. Surprised someone said there was more gravy than liver as I couldn't finish mine as it was so large. I love lots of gravy anyway and always add the bacon. Brilliant pub meals and we've tried lots of them over the years and this pub comes out way higher than anywhere else. Well done to the chef (s).

The food is good here but this has to be the best beer pub in the area. A good range of beers from around the country, good choice of ciders too will certainly come again

The best Real Ale Pub I know in the west midlands. Me and my wife always visits this place when we shop in walsall. They have the largest selection of real ales and cider on tap. They have a beer festival every year and serve great food as well. Well worth a visit. It's virtually opersite Asda.

Made a return visit with some friends in September and October. Excellent array of beers on tap and good menu. Value for money food but on the October visit the liver dish was more gravy than liver, still tasty though and will be returning.

This has to be some of the best food I ever tasted in entire my life! Do you do takeaway at all? I could stock up on my next visit for those occasions when you really can’t muster up the energy to cook. Or you could do a hamper for the freezer & I could give it to Mom as a C (can’t say the word, too early) present, for her freezer. Ooh you’d make a killing!!!! Anyway back to my review. As usual MrDW had the pie ‘’He ate all the pies ... ‘’. I know I sang that one before. I had my usual chilli, with chips, & garlic bread, oooh to die for!!!! This visit was a bit lively as we were later than usual, there was a fair few office staff in. Some sitting quietly discussing colleagues that weren’t there, miow! Boy F whose every other word was F, so not much convo going on with him. Then there was the biz meeting in the corner, where mature man talked louder than Boy F, so that shut Boy F up. So quite an entertaining visit in all, & it saves me repeating where the chip chop used to be 40+ years ago to MrDW ... That is the chip shop where I got the pot of tea for 10p for the market traders. See you again soon ;-)

Visited here many times, be it just for a quiet drink, or something to eat. If you're an ale drinker like myself, then there is simply no other pub in Walsall that can boast such a large and ever-changing selection. Also serves the more common drinks
The food is equally good, a varied menu is available, and the portion sizes are great. Food takes a bit longer to get to you compared to other establishments, but this is a good thing, its always excellent quality, piping hot, although as stated on their website, you can always call ahead if you're in a hurry.
Atmosphere is also great, very easy to just pop in and have a quiet pint.

My husband and I recently held our daughter's Christening reception at The Black Country Arms. Our guests (many of whom were from Durham and so unfamiliar with this pub) absolutely loved the venue. We hired out the upstairs - free of charge - and Kim catered for us with a cold buffet at a very reasonable price. There was a great variety of different foods and there was plenty to go round. I would recommend this pub as a great place to hold a private function. The staff are friendly, the variety of beers is a great attraction, and the venue itself is welcoming.

Someone at another pub recommended that for good home cooked food and even better real ales that a quick trip on the bus to Walsall was a must do!
They weren’t wrong at all!
Brilliant choice of real ales with plenty local choice and the food was all fresh, home made and decent portions.
Will definitely be back 😊

Friendly, well stocked real ale pub.
Arrived after a long late train journey. Welcoming knowledgeable bar staff and regulars.
16 hand pumps available, 3 regulars and rest guest ales, mostly midlands. Notice behind Bar said over 600 guest ales this year and I believe it.
Mini beer festival next week.
Only downside is it's a way up the high street opposite Asda and on way there 10pm on weekday night barely saw a soul outside, even fewer an hour later.
