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.

Good traditional pub with a serious amount of real ales to savour and all fresh and well kept. Ciders also excellent. Good friendly customers and staff. Really good smoking area for the lepers of society like me that actualy insanely enjoy tobacco with a pint.

Absolutely divine! The chips are perfect too, & the GARLIC (Peter Kay) bread was soooo more-ish. MrDW had his usual pie, I just couldn't take a pie on this time. Wonderful staff, great prices too. See you again soon!

We visit the Black Country Arms every week. Great choice of real ales, 10+ different ales any one time, great food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend if you like real ale and home cooked food. Children are welcome too so this always makes a nice couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon for us.

We are relatively new to our real ales, know what we like but ready to push our boundaries and the bar staff here are more than willing to help and guide.
Beautiful selection of real ales and a couple of ciders too and not to forget the cheese and onion cobs! 😊Lovely garden to the side and rear, menu looks tasty and overall a great pub, lovely feel to a true established pub of Walsall, will definitely return!

Friday 14th July 17, My husband and I went out for a drink and a meal with my godson Kevin who lives in Walsall.
We parked the car and then My husband, Kevin and I walked down into Walsall town centre to go to ‘The Black Country Arms’, a city centre real ale pub.
The Black Country Arms is situated in a Georgian building was be-decked with flower baskets, which gave it a welcoming feel. The pub is situated over three floors with tables for dining and a wonderful real ale bar with over 40 types of real ales and ciders.
We all found a table and we looked at the menu, we then went to look at the bar, the range of ales was impressive and as I am not an ale drinker, I asked about flat ciders, and they had an impressive array.
We were served by Carla, who was a lovely bright and cheerful young lady, who took our food and drinks order.
The food when it arrived was piping hot, well presented and a HUGE portion. My husband had the Black Country faggots and peas served with creamy mash and rich gravy. My husband washed this down with two pints of ‘Pig On The Wall’ ale. I had the Black Country fish, chips and mushy peas (Whale and Chips) and I washed this lovely food down with two pints of ‘Furry Ferret’ apricot cider, which was so smooth and crisp and had a lovely taste.
Kevin did not have a meal, as he had eaten earlier before we came. Kevin had three pints of ‘BFG’ bitter. We spent over three hours talking and chatting and catching up on new and gossip.
If you want a good down to earth pub with friendly staff, good food and excellent bitters, ales and ciders then this is the place to be.
