Foley Arms in Dudley

Booked a table for my mothers 87th Birthday. I decided to give them a call ahead to see if there was something they could put on the table for her just to make it a bit more special as mom is also disabled so not able to get out very often. I spoke to a member of staff called Matt. I explained it was my mom’s birthday and I asked if there was something they could put on the table and he hesitated and replied in what respect ? I said I don’t know maybe a little balloon he said no sorry we don’t do that. I felt his attitude was a little poor and he came across sarcastic in all honesty and just didn’t want to help and make the visit more special for my mom. I am pretty sure they could have put something on the table even just a little decoration I even offered to pay and to be honest I was tempted to cancel the booking and go elsewhere as never known a pub/restaurant not willing to make someone’s birthday visit just that extra bit special. Especially a lady of 87!!! We decided to go as have been visiting and having deliveries from here for a few years now and always received good service and excellent food. However of late I do feel the standards are slipping. I had gammon and turkey my mom had the turkey and to be honest it was just ok nothing to write home about. 2 roast potatoes and not a great selection of vegetables at all just cabbage and carrots. I did eat it all as I was so hungry but mom left a lot of hers. The waitress serving didn’t once smile and when she brought us our cheesecake desserts they were just plonked on the table and we were handed a spoon which was not wrapped in a serviette and mine had food all up the handle I had to get a wet wipe and clean it off as there was no staff member in sight. We were also not given forks which you should have with a cheesecake. The place just does not have the same welcoming feel to it anymore the standard of service and food has definitely slipped and at 2pm I was very surprised as normally this is a very busy pub but there were not many in at all. I think I will be giving this place a wide berth for a while in all honesty there are plenty more pub/restaurants in the area with better food and service who will always go out of their way to make someone’s special day that bit more special!!

Excellent meal, cooked to perfection and lovely presentation. Followed by brilliant entertainment, the singer was fab, a pleasure to listen to. Atmosphere was great throughout the night. Well done Foley Arms

We are regulars at the Foley. Tony as always, professional, friendly and Attention to detail always excellent. A credit to the Foley.

Great atmosphere, excellent food, all the staff really helpful, happy, friendly and professional. In particular Richard and John who were particularly helpful and friendly they went the extra mile. Well done a great Christmas meal night out for our club catered for 17 people. Thank you we will be back.

I can't comment on the food as I met with friends for drinks, however, the pub was busy with a great atmosphere. I hadn't been for years, but not much had changed in terms of decor or facilities. Lots of parking, friendly staff and efficient service.

The meal was very nice, and the staff were very pleasant and welcomed us. Table service was excellent. Thankyou very much. We will be back!!

Went for lunch on our anniversary, Jazz served us very pleasant and helpful. Very professional to say she has not been long in bar service. Well done Colin and Pauline

The staff here are so lovely!! Especially Vikki, always makes us feel so welcome!!

Vicky was very friendly and paid a lot of attention towards our table.

Not been here for a while.starter was very nice .dessert very nice .main meals o dear chips cold prawns over cooked.turkey cold on the Christmas Dinner.very disappointed we were looking forward to it but feel let down .did tell two members of staff but got the impression they were not interested.

Great festive lunch, Vicky was great with the service.

Lovely place, very friendly atmosphere

Disappointed that only one sauvignon available, the most expensive.

Very nice lunchtime meal, friendly staff

Food tasty and competitive price. Service first rate. Staff always friendly and helpful.

The Foley has a good choice of decent ales, wine and food, all at a reasonable price. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Tony’s quiz was amazing, incredible way to spend a Sunday night

Came in for Sunday Lunch yesterday with the family after being recommending this place by a friend, the staff were friendly and helpful especially Matt (i think he was the manager), food came out quickly and piping hot, all of the family enjoyed our food and we will be visiting again before Christmas :)

Pub looked amazing, great selection of cask ales, Had the sharing wings which were amazing Great service from Matt and the team

Great food, superb staff & Bluelight discount! Highly recommend

Lovely food service very good. Good place for lunch. Great value for money. Staff so friendly. Chef is excellent.

Great atmosphere. Wide age range of clientele. Busy raised terraced to good weather well back from main road. Enjoyed the food and visit.

Food was fantastic, also exceptional customer service from the team. But someone who was exceptional through out was vikky and John , smashing guys and deserves a raise. Thanks guys

Fabulous food had an enjoyable evening my husband and myself felt very welcome and our server Vicky was excellent will definitely come again

Had some fantastic customer service from Vicky - I lost something that was very valuable to me and she not only kept it safe, but reached out to me and saved me a lot of stress. This is a good example of how the staff at the Foley go above and beyond. Would strongly recommend.

Lovley place 1st time here after living around the corner for so long but will 100 be back to try the food menu as food smells and looks so good 👍🏻 😋 service was brilliant 👏 👌

We often vist and vikki is always ready to help she hoe's over and beyond to keep is happy

Jasmine is always there to help with a smile great pub

Typical chain pub. Used to go here a lot but will look around now. Dietary options limited although the app is useful.

Firstly I have been here quite often with my husband and friends and food was good...Sunday lunch this time....A practice in layman's terms for the festive or Christmas lunch....all I can say is the turkey and gravy quite nice...vegetables well? Undercooked from aldante even and some stone cold...roast potatoes anaemic..very disappointing for the price...desserts however pricey but nice...Will not be back again for Sunday lunch or even festive menu..needs improving.

Really lovely meal for a decent price. Staff are always helpful!

Always a warm welcome. Great staff wouldn’t go anywhere else for the quiz

Service and food was great Beth the waitress was very friendly

Went for a friend's birthday, it was really nice, have been before & will be going again at some point😊

Nice menu. Service was very good. Gammon was tasty and tender. The chips could have been better as they were not quite crisp enough.

Great meal & lovely cocktails. Service speedy and very friendly. Checked in on us, made to feel welcome. The cheesecake was just delicious!

Staff were amazing couldn’t do enough for us . Feel that it needs a refurb as tables and carpet looking a little worn.

The food was ok with a limited vegan option, but the service was good

Went for the great value 3 courses for £11.99 (as priced in October 2024) The food was amazing and certainly worth it. You'd pay more to eat in wetherspoons these days. But the folly arms food is 100 times better.

We have always loved the foley arms, but we visited for a Sunday roast and it was disappointing.. it came out within 5 minutes, could tell the items had been standing all day/re heated as it was all so dry, the 2 potatoes we had were inedible, the beef dry as a bone and lack of anything else. Just a tablespoon of greens. We always recommend this place which is a shame

Excellent service the team couldn’t do enough for us - always welcoming and family friendly 😊 Victoria is a super star and really helped us navigate the app and we will always be back on a weekly basis 😊 and John is the best Barman!

Ok for a quick meal but nothing special, would go again if I was in the area !

I phoned earlier in the day to change the number of guests however when we arrived the booking had not been amended and so we had to wait for an extra chair. Sea bass was lovely but potatoes needed more cooking. No complaints with the ultimate burger or the half a chicken. The chicken, bacon and avocado salad had only 1 piece of avocado and only 4 shreds of bacon. Plenty of chicken

Although the place is fine I received a parking fine 2 years after had visited this place. I visited this pub on 10/08/2022 and I received a letter from Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd on 03/10/2024! How pathetic! I would have checked in on their monitor if they had one and I parked in a disabled spot due to my disability. The Foley Arms aren’t bothered however, I am glad I never went there again. Stay away as their parking scheme is in use.

This restaurant is and always will be great but needs to extend its generic menu

Great pub, great atmosphere, great staff. A must if in the area!

Had ultimate burger a week ago and was fantastic. This evening the burger had been reheated in microwave with salad on it. Complained who said he would speak to chef and blatantly ignored us. I had to speak to manager who also appeared not bothered . Overall disappointing. No one seems to care. Shame as generally be ok as been average and decent for a while.

Called and cancelled our booking with less than 3 hours notice. Not really very professional.

Food ok bit more on ur plate for what u pay

Generally poor all round unfortunately. The beer on draft isn’t looked after (Camden Hells) tasted like lines needed cleaning to the point I didn’t drink it. Food was poor. Brown avocado was served up. I would question the chef would you eat that? The grains in the grain salad consisted of a tea spoon with a huge bowl of lettuce so was very hungry afterwards. The toilets were an absolute mess, reminiscent of an old Andrex advert with loo roll everywhere, despite the signs saying they are checked regularly. The staff were friendly enough though so hence the 2stars.

Lovely atmosphere.staff attentive+ good was very good. Will definitely be returning.

Visited Sunday with my partner and two children, considering it was a Sunday, the restaurant was quite quiet and we didn’t need to pre-book. Service was great food didn’t take long to come out, I was impressed. I went for the beef rib roast dinner, would highly recommend. Will return 👍🏻

Great service all over. Even better to know that with Sunday roast the meal is not automatically swamped in gravy but gravy is served in a Jug. IMPROVEMENT POINT none of the Ember Inns never have GF buns so diners can NEVER order a burger - just about the most popular item for youngsters. FYI Greene King pubs stock FROZEN buns so only have to defrost on demand. SIMPLES!!

Tremendous food, beer is perfect but the best thing is the staff! Thank you Vicky, Jasmine, Ollie, Chris, Leo, Johnny and Rich Pleasure to frequent your bar. See you again soon 👍👍

Ordered 2 coffees with someone who appeared to be in management . Not busy . 10 minutes later no coffees member of staff had disappeared . Thought she may if asked colleague to do them 20 min had passed had to ask at bar for them again server knew nothing apologised and did them straight away and brought them over could teach the higher member of staff a thing or too it appears

Lovely meal with my daughters, fast and friendly service

Great place to eat with a warm welcome. Reasonably priced menu. We were seated quite quickly and our food order taken soon after. Our food came out hot and we all enjoyed what we’d ordered.

Pleasant place to enjoy a get together with friends.

Great food, good beer, friendly staff. Can't fault it.

Staff professional and friendly warm welcoming lovely food its becoming one of our favorite places to have a meal 5 years ago had our engagement party there nice place for all occasions .

Two of us went recently for Sunday lunch; it was our first visit. Staff were friendly and helpful and mushroom starter was lovely but we were not so happy with the roast rib of beef with yorkshire pudding. It was tasty enough but there were very few vegetables - three roast potatoes, no mash, tiny bit of cabbage and a few diced parsnips. All in all, not good value for money so will not revisit.

Lovely pub. Nice atmosphere inside and outside. Staff very friendly, lush meals for lunch and good price. Very clean especially the ladies toilet. Plenty of parking

Lovely evening, staff are friendly and efficient, shoutout to Beth as she's always got a big smile and nothing is too much trouble. Food was delicious.

Lovely afternoon lunch. Served by Johnny who was a star - especially the dancing! Excellent food as usual. It was a hot afternoon but the pub was cool and welcoming. Staff were attentive and food was delivered quickly. All tables had been cleaned and the pub was clean and tidy.

Pudding (chocolate fudge cake with custard) was a bit bland but main course (barbeque chicken) was excellent.

Plenty of seating but can get busy. Lots of food choice. Decor could do with upgrade but standard for a large chain.

I went on a Sunday and had the gammon Sunday lunch from the menu. The staff were very helpful, especially with my food allergies, but the food itself was not very good. The gammon was very fatty and the vegetables were hard in places. Others at my table had things not from the Sunday lunch menu which they described as being really good, especially the fish and chips. I wish, on reflection, that I had ordered this too.

Comfortable and relaxed as usual, food good, atmosphere good.

Absolutely dreadful! Ordered veggie option lasagne arrived like collapsed chapati, no sauce whatsoever very little taste, admittedly they were busy with election voters but to send that out of the kitchen inedible? I think Witherspoon s is a better option certainly needless to say I'll not be back.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch with my family. The food was incredible and the team there we so friendly, helpful and gave "the best" service. Highly recommend.

amazing service by Evie! she made me feel so comfortable and i really enjoyed my experience here! definitely would recommend x

Had Sunday lunch not really good. My pudding was cold, and I had to take back

First visit, food arrived promptly staff polite, good value for money. However needs a good makeover, very grubby, table reserved for us was dirty, had to ask for it to be cleaned even though a staff member must have seen the state of it when the reserved notice was placed on it.

Good to find a pub open on a Monday let alone decent food all day. We'll done the Foley Ams!!

Food was typical pub grub but not very exciting. Service was poor. You order at the bar and have to say there and then if you want a dessert, and staff then bring it to the table. The waiting staff not friendly, very blunt when putting meal on the table and then we did not see them again.

Amazingly delicious food, great service by staff and lovely atmosphere inside and outside. Well done team, keep up the great work!

We popped in off the cuff and literally had 15 mins to order before the kitchen closed. I did not feel rushed though. We chose steak and it was cooked to perfection and definitely did not feel like we were the last meal of the day. Great customer service and will pop back again.

Had a cheeky pint after a nice walk.

Love the vibe here always welcoming. Vicky now knows us by our food order !! That's the kind of personal touch from The Foley Arms

Decent enough food, beer was very good, well worth a visit

Great friendly pub with excellent service especially Vicky. A warm friendly welcome always from all the staff however. Food excellent value for money and great choice of drinks including wines.

The team are always so lovely, Vicky is a star

Friendly staff good food, nice environment

Our reserved seats were taken by someone else so we had to select an alternative. We were also offered on your app a free drink but surely if, as usual, couples go for a drink, the offer should be for 2 free drinks not just one.

Beem here a few times now however last night was dissapointing. The steak was ordered medium and came rare. I ordered the chicken burger and onion rings. Onion rings were cold, the salad on the burger was discoloured and wrinkled and the chips were hard. The burger sauce had a skin on top like it had been sat out. Staff werent as helpful as usual.

The Foley Arm's is a great meeting place and the food is always good at a reasonable price

Don't try the Foley if you are Coeliac - we got offered a jacket potatoe and salad so left.

Just dropped for Sunday lunch, as always great food, very present staff, efficient service. Excellent value for money.

Went to on Friday 29th March, where do I start, well I won’t be going back. No steak on a Friday night. Ended up having chicken which wasn’t the best, very dry and overdone chips. Went up to order sweets then told kitchen had closed. When I paid the bill wasn’t asked if we had enjoyed the meal. Very disappointed.

Poor selection of non-alcoholic drinks. We went for lunch & they had no salad at all, despite 4 or 5 listed on the menu.

The exceptional service I received from Victoria can't be put into words , I couldn't recommend a place Anymore. We use this place all the time

Absolutely loved this place can't wait to go back. Food was beautiful. Pubs really nice. I love the sign on the way in... remember were a family pub please keep foul language to a minimum. Which is so reassuring espically for families like myself with young children.

Victoria was very pleasant as always! Great staff great place!

Great service from Victoria, good was amazing!

Vic went above and beyond to make our evening.. Thanks again.

Victoria, what a person. Helpful, sophisticated, welcoming. Every time I visit the Foley her greeting is warming. Ember legend through and through!

Of 5 meals only the chicken wings were fine. Steaks were over cooked so not as ordered. Chips were so over cooked they were not pleasant ,even fried eggs had very hard yokes Shame it was a birthday meal for my wife who is recovering from major surgery

Had lunch and it was great with a decent service mor me as a coeliac. My desired food was allergen checked on their tablet and specific details checked when placing the order.

Good night had by all in my party. Thank you 👍

Good food at slightly expensive prices, especially the puddings as they aren't the biggest portions we've ever seen. The posh fish and chips was lovely though, as was the half chicken and chips. Beware that the car park is leased out to a cowboy parking company, so you have to input your reg on entry to avoid invoices in the post, threatening all sorts of dire consequences. 😉
