The Black Country Arms
Latest Reviews
Having passed this pub on many occasions over the years I finally ventured inside and wasn't disappointed.The first thing that struck me was the size of the place. From the outside it doesn't look very big but it stretches quite a way back and there are plenty of tables.There is a plentiful supply of real ales.There is quite an extensive menu and I chose the Brunch with a potato wedges.The portions were huge and looking round other diners this seemed to be the case for the menu as a whole.The staff were very pleasant making me wish I had used the pub before.One thing's for certain,it won't be my last visit.

Wow, this is a great pub for the real ale fan, or just somewhere nice, clean and respectable for a quality couple of hours.
Been here on numerous occasions the last being Saturday night, where I counted 22 beers all on pull.Sometimes in these real ale places it's frowned upon when you order a carling, or half a coke, but not here. Everyman to himself, with a really wide mix of people.
Sat night had a great relaxed atmosphere with some live music, nothing to loud but loud enough, if you know what I mean,Lots of dark, lights, pale ales, Belgium and German bottles to choose from.
Bar snacks, at last a pub with a full compliment of snacks, crisps, pork pies, scratching a, pickled eggs and gherkins.Also at last 2 nice happy, enthusiastic barmen, credit to themselves and the pub. They actually looked happy and interested in serving the waiting customers.
I'm seriously considering changing this to my local, now that Asda don't charge for parking lolWill want to try the food soon, see if it's as good as the beer,
Well done guys, keep it up

this pub is a bit of a mixed bag,large and too bright inside,few more plants and paintings around these days so that does help with the atmosphere,good range of real ales to choose from in good condition to,but one big no no,on a saturday night was the whole length of the bar were people sitting on bar stools so it was difficult to get served or get any were near the bar ,most of these need to be moved on a busy saturday night,there was a man playing some live music on our visit which was enjoyable.

if your into your real ales this place is a gem , a bit of a walk up the hill to get to it and the pub is staps galore but with its wide range and reasonable price you would have to go a long way to match or beat it , would take you a week or so to try all the beers , the ones i tried were in good condition , clear and fresh tasting

for me, I loved Walsall as a kid & worked on the market for a few years as a teenager, sitting upstairs in the BCA bought it all back to me. Just sitting there with my Czech beer looking at the side of Asda & remembering what used to be .... The old chippy where I'd get my tea pot filled for next to nothing, I can still see the woman's concerned face as she told me not to burn myself. Ooops I went off on one there! OK, so we had our usual, cider for him, Czech beer for me, & one of the best that I've ever tasted in my life. He had his BCA Steak & Ale Pie, I like to work my way down the menu so I went for the Cheese & Onion Pie, & what a lovely meal it was! All this for under £20! Staff as usual were most welcoming, even the regular customers welcome you. I'm just sorry I missed the beer festival 19-22 March. Well done BCA for creating such a good atmosphere!

This pub is at the top of the market in walsall. They have a great selection of real ales and other beers. The food is really good with some great blackcountry fare. The food is always hot and really reasonable. The staff are very friendly and the pub itself very welcoming. Really worth visiting.

I reviewed the BCA a few months back but there's no harm in adding a bit more. Popped in on my own for a pint and a bite and went for the beef lasagne verde and salad. It was clearly 'home made' and every bit as tasty as the food in nice Italian foodie places and at around half the cost. As usual staff were friendly and beer well kept. Faultless.

of a place is this, just like the good old pub used to be! The BCA is on 3 levels, they do a good selection of ales, have a decent menu, & are really friendly & welcoming. Lunch for 2 & a drink each come to around £16. He had cider, & I had a Krusovice (Czech beer) & what a lovely drink! I had the Grey Peas as I fancied a trip down memory lane, he had Steak & BCA Pie, & we weren't disappointed. I'll definitely be back!

Just went in for a quick beer before catching a train, so unfortunately didn't get time to eat.
It was a busy Saturday lunchtime so we struggled to get to the bar, but service was good.Good choice of real ales, which were well kept.
Nice split level pub. Good atmosphere.Well worth a visit.

Stopped off here on the way to Manchester after reading some reviews. Friendly service at the bar and food very reasonably priced as quite a few things were £5 - £6 whereas similar dishes in other pubs can be £2 - £3 dearer. The pub was very quiet so there was not much atmosphere but that may be different in the evening. The menu choice is not huge but there are a few specials to bulk it up. The Steak and Ale pie was huge and good value at £5.50 coming with potato wedges and peas (mushy if you like them or garden if you prefer). I had fish pie that was very tasty but a little smaller for £5.75 - came with salad and garlic bread. Seemed to be home cooked food rather than something out of a packet. All in all, a good experience and I would revisit and can therefore recommend.

Without a doubt that best pub in Walsall town centre. A warm, friendly atmosphere and great service is all provided here and of course, beer and food. The food is simple, affordable and hearty very much what a pub should be. A new favourite of mine.
