This is possibly in top 10 real ale pubs in England. Many real ales are always on see picture and always well kept by knowledgeable bar staff here Tuesday 7th March 2023 I revisited this gem of a locals proper real ale pub Today, a plethora of hand pumped ales on offer is possibly one of the largest in Great Britain. This pub has to be one of the best proper pubs for real ales in Saturday 20th April 2024 This is one of the best real ale pubs in the United Kingdom. I've been in 2000 real ale pubs read all my previous reviews of the wonderful real ale pub Keep up this great work all involved Usually, double figures of hand pumped ales on offer Saturday 14th September 2024 This pub in Walsall has always served a great pint of real ales and has so many real ales on it is a must to drink real ales on and there all well kept. My only concerns were today that the staff were very lack lustre and the service waiting time was far to long. I waited 10 minutes to be served, and people queuing behind me got served before me

Large traditional pub, tastefully restored. We arrived at opening time for lunch, so quiet at first but filling up later. Large collection of draught beers. Efficient bar service, and food was delivered in a reasonable time. Our filled baguettes came with chips and salad, and were quite substantial meals. We enjoyed the food.

Nestled in the heart of Walsall, The Black Country Arms is nothing short of a local treasure. This charming pub perfectly captures the spirit of the Black Country, offering an authentic atmosphere that feels warm, welcoming, and wonderfully traditional. The first thing that strikes you is the impressive selection of real ales and craft beers on tap. With a rotating selection of over a dozen ales, including local brews, it’s clear that they are passionate about quality and variety. Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or just someone looking for a good pint, there's something here for everyone. The pub's character is enriched by its history, evident in the cosy, wood-paneled interior and the classic pub décor. There's a sense of heritage that runs through every corner, but it never feels outdated—just charmingly timeless. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to recommend a drink or a dish from their hearty, classic pub menu. Food at The Black Country Arms is another highlight. With generous portions and an emphasis on British comfort food, you’ll find everything from homemade pies to traditional Sunday roasts that leave you satisfied and ready for a return visit.

Having recently visited this pub on a very rare occasions I can't review the food.Bar service was outstanding during our last visit we were greeted by two gentlemen on a Friday the 22nd of March. They where absolutely astounding in and of them selfs I dont drink ales personally, but the shorter of the two advised me on a lovely pale ale which i will continue to seek out at other establishments within the west midlands,we will of cause be coming back again time and time again.Customer service alone, Its such a delight to walk into a establishment with such character and great ales. I would highly recommend if not for anything else but for the two lively gents i met on my visit. Establishment:8/10 Customer services:10/10 Choice of refreshments:9/10 By far best bar in walsall due to experience.

Been here for a pint a few times. Lovely pub, and the choice & quality of beer is always great. Finally had food here today, and was worth the wait. Just a simple burger & chips, but it all tasted great. Will definitely try more of the menu soon as I get chance. Also, the 90's grunge / britpop soundtrack on in the background was most enjoyable. Couldn't fault a thing, not that I was looking to!

I had given up my attempt to walk across Cannock Chase in a downpour, so on my way back to Birmingham on the train, thought I'd have a look round Walsall, as you do. I circled all round the town and back to what I'd thought looked the most promising pub. I like this brewery chain, anyway, and the front looked elegant, unlike much of Walsall, which exudes neglect. The pub was even more terrific inside. It comprises a grand complex of rooms on various levels, all beautifully carpeted and furnitured in a plush, traditional style. The main bar is gorgeous, all artistically furbished in art deco style, and with a food hatch which looked like something from the 1920s. The barmaid was friendly and fun, and she turned out to be the landlady's daughter. They bantered forth with each other between the main bar and the food hatch, and with the clutch of regulars sitting opposite the bar counter in what one of them called the drinkers' tables. By chance I was in the midst of that lot, and so I found myself chatting merrily with the various characters who drifted in and out. I think I had 5 different pints from the vast range on offer, including BFG, Pig on the Wall, and Heel Stone. All were well priced and kept, and induced no after effects except happiness. Walsall may have its critics, but both this pub and its lovely characters were pure class.

Having researched good pubs with food in Walsall town centre i was looking forward to visiting this place which has plenty of good reviews. I arrived at 4.30pm on a Tuesday, the building is a lovely place, well kept with plenty of character, and ordered a pint of vanilla stout which was really good and well priced, although the lady who served me wasn’t particularly friendly but efficient enough. I returned to the bar to order the same drink and asked for the food menu which, according to the website, is served till 6.30pm, to be told rather curtly, that food orders stop at 3.30pm except saturdays, whilst the lady waved vaguely in the direction of a cabinet that contained rolls and sandwiches of some kind, whilst engaging rather more enthusiastically with a near by table of locals. I soon left in search of food.

The fact that I like this and most other BCA pubs will give away my age. That and I also have a dog. The decor, food and emphasis on real ale in all their pubs is more or less on the same theme. My view is that if it's not broken, then there's no need to fix it. What sets this one apart from some of the others is the exceptional friendliness of the staff and indeed the customers. My new local when in or around Walsall.

Lets start with the good parts. Ambience was good. Staff were friendly. Had a ploughmans and it was lovely. Huge pork pie. Slab of cheese. Ham, coleslaw, baguette, pickles. Gorgeous Now the bad parts. There were no bad parts. Unfortunately I was driving so couldn't sample any of the 20 handpulled ales. Gives me a reason to return. As an out of towner, I think Walsall has a lot of bad pubs. This isn't one of them. It is a real gem.

on arriving at the pub myself and my family were greeted by a man in a full tuxedo, more than willing to seat us. We were all then gave individual napkins with our names on (i dont know how they knew our names) Our seats were engraved with our birthdays and birth stones. They then took us out the back to pick our own live chicken that would later be made into casserole. The food was 5* quality, better than the shard in london. I cried whilst eating my desert and the manager came out and gave us back massages to finish such a touching experience. My grandmother has written the owners in her will and left all of her assets to them.

This is becoming one of my favourite pubs and definitely my favourite local one. It is a very cozy, traditional and comfortable place with an incredible choice of drinks, ales, beers, ciders and stronger alcoholic beverages, you name it. Ciders here are the main attraction, Lilley's on tap is absolutely beautiful, Pina Colada being my favourite. Food is traditional British pub grub but it's really nice and has that homemade feel and taste to it. The owners are lovely and very friendly people. The public as well which frequents this establishment is also nice, quiet and polite, very different to your usual Walsall boozer audience. Overall, I highly recommend Black Country Arms!

My very main concern was not 1 person washed their hands.i watched a young people wearing gloves going out of store the coming back into the cafe straight behind the counter can start washing crockery in a sink with the gloves still on and take the crockery into the back to be washed or sanitised in the back office and bring them sand crocs chocolate back in store still wearing the sunglasses not one time in nearly 2 hours we were sitting there as one person and washed their hands not once. The young Person and cleaned tiles sprite tables with a cloth still wearing the same gloves still mess with crockery after mess with chemicals not seen any time has anyone washed their hands. My sister always meet up here after what I’ve seen today they have lost two customers.
