The vine has been going for over 30 years, and its a bit like marmite, you either love it or you hate it.
Food is nothing special, but the atmosphere is great and its comfortable yet also loud. There;s a number of rooms and every time I go there, there seems to be a refurb/extension. Great for a big group, or even a couple.

We only go to the NEC from Lancashire once or twice a year but it is always followed by a quick detour to the Vine. Superb food, fast service, very reasonable prices and lovely staff. Gets very busy so go early to ensure you get a seat. Wish it was nearer home.

Legendary pub. Popular (not only) on Baggies match days. Welcoming for home and away fans. Good cask ales. Excellent Indian food from the menu as well as the indoor bbq for kebabs. Friendly staff. Only caution is it gets very full so arrive very early for food especially.

Crowd of us went on Saturday before football. Usually crowded on match days but brilliant atmosphere with banter. Great beers including Bathams and Staropramen larger. The curries are one of the best in the Midlands especially the chicken claypot. Fantastic selection of indoor barbecue with a wide selection of sauces chips and bread. Great prices, well worth a visit.

I must admit to being biased here. I was born in West Bromwich and lived on the road adjacent to Roebuck Street (where ‘The Vine’ is located) for the first eleven years of my life. Thus, I have unusually fond and quite atypical memories of the area. We lived in Roebuck Lane long before the area was scythed apart by the M5 motorway. I remember ‘The Vine’ as being a small local pub (I think that it used to be called ‘The Roebuck’) which I was obviously too young to enter under the licensing laws current at that time.
The West Midlands is known for its profusion of excellent Indian eating-places and ‘The Vine’ is a real ‘curry pub’. My adult son and I visited it for lunch prior to going to ‘The Hawthorns’ (the home ground of West Bromwich Albion) for the Saturday football match and this was our first visit to ‘The Vine’. The area around ‘The Hawthorns’ is not over-endowed with pubs and ‘The Vine’ itself is one of the closest but it is still about a mile from the ground. Not surprisingly, therefore, ‘The Vine’ attracts a large number of clients (mainly West Bromwich Albion supporters, though away fans are welcome) on football match days and we suspect that such days provide a major source of the pub’s income. On such days, ‘The Vine’ is very much a niche establishment catering for football supporters.
We parked the car in ‘The Vine’s’ own small car park at a match-day cost of £5. The car park was clearly not in high demand and it did not fill. The small frontage of ‘The Vine’ belies its real size. Whereas it was originally clearly a small local pub with three small parlours and a bar, it is now vast. Beyond the parlours, there is a conservatory-like room, then further back there is another large room, then another with an open grill, then an external covered section that is not fully enclosed. I had not expected anything of this magnitude.
‘The Vine’ does not accept reservations on match days. We arrived at about 12:30 (kick-off was at 15:00) and we quite easily found somewhere to sit in the conservatory area (at this stage there was still quite a lot of space available). There was a continuous influx of customers all the time we were there and the place became quite crowded though there was still standing space out at the back. Indeed, it felt as if a large proportion of the spectators at the match were there! We only ordered a relatively light meal each of channa masala and a pint of Batham’s bitter for me, saag aloo, pilau rice and a soft drink for my son. The food was good, the portions were of a reasonable size. The total cost was about £21, i.e. much cheaper than in some other parts of the country. Service was quick and efficient even with the large clientele (who were good-humoured and friendly). The toilets, although small, were clean and could cope. I would definitely recommend the establishment, especially if you are going to ‘The Hawthorns’.

Love this place. A Hell of a lot more expensive than 10 years ago, though.<br>Guess that's progression.
