Excellent value 2 course Sunday lunch for family, including 4 year old daughter. Roast dinners generous and tasty; desserts equally good. Beer fine, as ever. Highly recommend!

We visited the Black Country arms this weekend for a family meal instead of a Sunday lunch. I had heard and read great things about this place so was looking forward to it. I have to say I was a little disappointed.
The place is nice and we sat down at a great little corner table. Although we had pre ordered the roast dinners on booking the food was an hour to be served. I had the burger which was nice enough but the roast dinners didn't seem great. All in all a disappointing visit to a well recommended place.

Weekdays at dinner-time is my usual time for visiting the Black Country Arms, and I've always found it a welcoming and enjoyable experience.
It's a big place with plenty of seating and some corners to hide yourself away for a quiet pint and book.And what a choice of ales. There are at least 15 (changing) real ales on at the bar, and as a Czech beer lover I am always happy to see Krusovice available on tap.
I've eaten there several times and always had good food - persoannly i'm never worried how long food takes to arrive if it's good and freshly prepared, which meals here always have been in my experience. That said, my meals have always arrived quickly and are great value for money. Check out the daily Specials as well as the Black Country specialities on the menu.
From the reviews of a couple of other people, I think i'll keep up my routine and avoid busy weekend periods - I enjoy it here too much.

Having discovered this wonderful pub just last year it has become our regular stopping place for lunch every time we are in Walsall. In particular we adore the Sunday lunches, fabulous big platters of home cooked roast beef and fresh vegetables.
The service at The Black Country Arms is always excellent. Very polite, well trained staff look after you from the moment you arrive. This pub is a hidden gem and an absolute "must visit" for those who enjoy fantastic real ales, freshly cooked meals and true value for money. It is by far the best pub in the town!

What a superb town centre venue, open from 11:00 am until you should be in bed. The place features a cornucopia of real ales, ciders and wines plus amazing portions of good honest food. Even better is that it has great atmosphere, cheery staff and led by probably the best licensee in town. Truly a class act.

We had always thought that the Black Country Arms looked like a working men’s pub. This was pure prejudice on our part – it looks smart enough, but situated at the top of the Walsall market, it looked as if it was the place to have a drink or two after work.
Recently a friend recommended it highly, so when we were in town the other day around lunch time, we decided to give it a try. Our friend was right. It has an interesting and imaginative layout, with different levels and numerous alcoves which help reduce noisy and enable privacy. The bar is on the second level, with some games facilities on the top deck.
The menu is quite extensive. There were various vegetarian items, with more on the ‘specials’ menu on a board at the bar. We opted for the beetroot and Brie tart, which was served with a very fresh salad.
The Black Country Arms surpassed expectations, and we will certainly return.

found this pub on trip advisor and as we were going for a night out in Walsall for our daughter's 40th birthday we decided to try here, so glad we did the food was excellent best we have had for a long time and drinks spoilt for choice and all reasonably priced, will definitely be going back

Took some time to experience what Walsall had to offer mainly with respect to real ales. The pub is wonderfully decorated with a bar that has an extensive range all priced low in comparison to many other pubs. The food on offer covered snacks in the form of cobs with various fillings for £1 each to more substantial offerings. I had a chicken jalfrezzi which was excellent. This pub is well worth re-visiting!

I ate a roast pork and stuffing sandwich, accompanied by an half a pint of elderflower ale in this lovely old pub. The sandwich contained perfect white meat and is up there with the best; the ale was enchanting. This place takes pride in it's food and drink and it shows. The staff member was friendly and helpful. I can't wait to return and try more of their ales, beers and food. Every town should have a pub like this..!

I previously wrote a glowing report about the Black Country Arms. Having been impressed on our first visit, we decided to return with a friend, but this time we were slightly disappointed. When we placed our order we were told that it might take between 30 and 40 minutes, since a party of 14 people had made a reservation and were in front of us. After nearly an hour we were told that they had only one brie and beetroot tart available, when we had ordered two. I re-selected, opting for a potato and onion pie. It was OK, but nothing special, and we felt they ought to have told us when we first placed the order.
The service was friendly, and the waitress apologised for the delay. We did feel, however, that a party of 14 was not enormous (and they were expected after all), so we would have expected slightly more prompt service. Luckily we were not in a rush, and will probably give the Black Country Arms another chance. Better luck next time, we hope!
