My husband wanted to visit here as it appears as recommended in Camra.
The pub is very friendly and homely, decorated in a old fashioned way.
Although we didn't eat there, the menu looked really good with a lot more choice than you expect, even for vegetarians.
It may look a bit scary on the outside but would recommend trying it out.

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 lol
Will want to try the food soon, see if it's as good as the beer,
Well done guys, keep it up

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.

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.
