This has to be some of the best food I ever tasted in entire my life! Do you do takeaway at all? I could stock up on my next visit for those occasions when you really can’t muster up the energy to cook. Or you could do a hamper for the freezer & I could give it to Mom as a C (can’t say the word, too early) present, for her freezer. Ooh you’d make a killing!!!! Anyway back to my review. As usual MrDW had the pie ‘’He ate all the pies ... ‘’. I know I sang that one before. I had my usual chilli, with chips, & garlic bread, oooh to die for!!!! This visit was a bit lively as we were later than usual, there was a fair few office staff in. Some sitting quietly discussing colleagues that weren’t there, miow! Boy F whose every other word was F, so not much convo going on with him. Then there was the biz meeting in the corner, where mature man talked louder than Boy F, so that shut Boy F up. So quite an entertaining visit in all, & it saves me repeating where the chip chop used to be 40+ years ago to MrDW ... That is the chip shop where I got the pot of tea for 10p for the market traders. See you again soon ;-)

The food is good here but this has to be the best beer pub in the area. A good range of beers from around the country, good choice of ciders too will certainly come again

We haven't visited this pub for a while but it's as good as ever. I nearly always have the liver and onions as they do it so much better than I do. Surprised someone said there was more gravy than liver as I couldn't finish mine as it was so large. I love lots of gravy anyway and always add the bacon. Brilliant pub meals and we've tried lots of them over the years and this pub comes out way higher than anywhere else. Well done to the chef (s).

Best pub in Walsall by a country mile. Fantastic beer, service and atmosphere. Would not drink anywhere else, this place is what a pub should be like.

Saturday 10th February 18, My husband and I went out for a drink and a meal with my godson Kevin who lives in Walsall to celebrate his 40th Birthday.
We parked the car and then My husband, Kevin and I walked down into Walsall town centre to go to ‘The Black Country Arms’, a city centre real ale pub.
The Black Country Arms is situated in a Georgian building. The pub is situated over three floors with tables for dining and a wonderful real ale bar with over 40 types of real ales and ciders.
We all found a table and we looked at the menu, we then went to look at the bar, the range of ales was impressive and as I am not an ale drinker, I asked about flat ciders, and they had an impressive array.
We were served by Kevin, who was a lovely bright and cheerful man, who took our food and drinks order.
The food when it arrived was piping hot, well presented and a HUGE portion. My husband had the Black Country Steak & Ale pie served with peas and chips. which he said was really tasty. My husband washed this down with two pints of ‘Big Friendly Giant - BFG’ ale. I had the Black Country Cottage pie, which came served with steamed vegetables and a jug of nice rich gravy, and I washed this lovely food down with two pints of ‘Ruby Tuesday’ raspberry cider, which was so smooth and had a lovely taste, but Oh so strong, as I felt 'heady' the next day.
Kevin did not want a big meal, so he had two crusty cheese and onion rolls and two bags of cheese & onion crisps. Kevin had three pints of ‘BFG’ bitter. We spent over three hours here toasting his birthday, talking and chatting and catching up on news and gossip.
If you want a good down to earth pub with friendly staff, good food and excellent bitters, ales and ciders then this is the place to be.

Closing for upgrade soon, don’t know why, the pub is great as it is.
The pub is having soft refurb from 3rd April & will close completely 30 April to 15 May inclusive to allow for major re-works to be done.
The dinners are wonderful as always especially the chilli con carni’s.
The drinks are always excellent & the staff & management a credit to the pub.
The best pub in Walsall by a country mile.
Good quiz held on 3rd Thursday of month at 8pm. It hard, good if you like a challenge.
Pet friendly, 2 lovely pub dogs in situ.

I hope the refurbishment will maintain the atmosphere. Great welcome for a first time visitor. Great selection of we'll kept ales. Undoubtedly the best beef baguette I've had in a very long time. Only niggle was the condiments in sachets! I'll be back.

at the new refurb at the weekend. We had to wait outside for it to open as it didn’t open until 12 on a Saturday. With just 5 mins to go until opening there was quite a queue forming, popular place is The BCA. It’s lovely, loads more tables, yet it seemed quite spacious. TV’s galore too if you pop in to watch a match or something. Love the toilets, but can you put the big mirror back please? Twice I went to have a gawk at myself but it wasn’t there. I had my usual Chilli ... to die for, MrDW had a Caesar Salad seeing as he’s on a diet. He thought he would miss the pie, but he didn’t as it was divine. Fantastic food as usual, & great prices! See you again soon x
