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 didn't eat here, apart from the ham salad rolls which ere excellent!, but the selection of ales was superb. Great service from the bar staff, along with a really good understanding of the beers on offer. Evening entertainment was "Dave Jackson Blues Band" who were fantastic. Highly recommend.

I took my team here for an evening meal. We'd hoped to eat here but food wasn't being served at 7pm when we arrived. Perhaps it's more of a lunchtime place. The range of beers was excellent, with over 12 hand pumped bitters and a couple of good lagers but the room wasn't particularly friendly and the clientele there on the night we went was a bit "unreconstructed", frankly there was a bit of an atmosphere and we only stayed for a couple of pints before going elsewhere. It was a shame as the range of beers was very interesting indeed and perhaps on another evening we could have made a session of it.

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!

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.

for me, seeing as it was my third visit. This time I had the Chilli Con Carne, chips, & garlic bread, SLURP :-)''' as usual. Mr DeuceWooo had fish & chips, but he wasn't keen, he missed his BCA pie that he usually has. Again 2 meals & 2 drinks for under £20, you really can't go wrong here people. I've already chosen my meal for next time, & I can't wait to get back & try that pie of Roy's!

My monthly visits to this great place never fails. Beautiful range of 16 ales every day, well managed bar owned & run by Kim. Great food, now being served all day. Fish Pie, Liver, onions & mash, Scampi all delicious. Brilliant Quiz every 3rd Thursday of the month run by excellent brothers Jimm & Michael at 8pm. Please do come to see what I rate as probably the best pub in Walsall.

This is one of five local pubs that a group of us visit regularly on Thursdays. Over the last five years we have dropped pubs for failing in respect of food quality or obscene price increases and added new pubs but the Black Country Arms has stayed on our rota. Good food,12 real ales and a warm welcome. The downside (that, fortunately does not impact on us) is that the flight of stairs to the servery and two flights to the toilets makes it impracticable for those with impaired mobility.
