Visited here tonight for the 1st time. Absolutely wonderful pub inside and great prices for food and drink. Lots of lovely train/ railway memorabilia. Also free parking which is a bonus. The only downside is that it seemed very cliquey. Got ignored up the bar for around a good 4 minutes as people kept on coming up after me and being served. Either they were locals,face doesn’t fit or barman couldn’t read the room on who was next,Only when someone pointed out to Barman that I was next was I served. Apart from that was a great atmosphere. Didn’t eat tonight but will give it another chance and try the food as it looked fab and see what happens next time at the bar. Oh and the Holden scratching are brilliant.

Nice pub if you like that nostalgia vib and like to feel you are part of the old railways scene, situated virtually underneath the main Wolverhampton railway line it won't win and rewards for its outlook.

We had reserved the tables in the back part of the pub for a retirement gathering for which we had arranged a buffet. The evening was a great success and the buffet was enjoyed by all. While the pub's theme is railway memorabilia it isn't over the top and gives it a great atmosphere. Above all there is a great selection of beer and the prices are reasonable.

Absolutely one of my favourite pubs, this is a real gem and worth seeking out. It's situated a short walk from Wolverhampton train station, down a cobbled road and under the train line. It looks really picturesque and atmospheric from the outside and inside it doesn't disappoint either, laid out like the ideal of a classic pub, with a centrally situated bar, wooden benches and comfortable snugs. There's also a fairly large outside area. There seems to be always a good selection of ales available and filled rolls and the usual bar snacks if you're hungry. The staff are friendly and efficient and there's a nice chilled atmosphere throughout. Place is clean and well-run throughout. Definitely worth a visit or a stopover if you're traveling through Wolves on the train.

We walked into this pub at 6.30pm and asked what time they served food until and we were told 7pm. We found a table and ordered food by 6.40pm. At 7.30pm we chased the food and was told the kitchen was “closed now mate “ We pointed out that we had already placed an order and paid for it which he remembered. He apologised, gave us our money back and told us of another pub that served food. No mention of any compensation, even a beer would have been nice. We had travelled up from Bournemouth by train to see family, and as we do, tried to support the smaller businesses. Why bother? We had to walk in the rain to the local Wetherspoon to get food. All the small pubs knock them but they do what it says on the tin. If smaller businesses don’t do this, they won’t survive in this world. Our plan was to visit this pub each evening but this is now lost along with our spending. What was the food like? We will never know. The only positive was the locals were nice. We won’t be back.

I've been here quite a few times and they've been happy to take my money but this time I was denied entry by a bonehead on the door because I couldn't prove I was a Wolves supporter (I'm not). I only wanted a pint before my train but the jobsworth wouldn't let me in. Went back to the town and had one there. I come from a place where strangers are welcomed. They aren't here. I travel to Wolverhampton regularly but won't be coming back here.

Beer just isn’t what it used to be. Father in law uses this place and complains that the beer is poor. Popped in today to meet a pal. Had a holdens lager - thought you can’t go wrong with a lager - how wrong was I. More life in a gnat’s fart. Took it back to the bar to be met by a dismissive barmaid who simply poured said flat pint into another glass (which was hot!). Needless to say any life that was in the pint was quickly killed. Took the same pint, but now in a second warm glass, back and explained it had no life and needed changing. Next bar person went to pour beer into yet another glass - I explained this had already been done. The first bar person then said that all the glasses were warm. I said that’s not my problem. Shockingly she said “It’s not my problem either! We’re very busy!” No excuse for serving poor beer. Heard a young lad who worked behind the bar helpfully ask if the gas had gone. Rude bar maid then said “I think it’s low!” Thereby an admission of guilt. Second bar maid poured original pint into a third glass and topped it up to add a bit more life. Surely the best customer service would be to apologise (none was offered) and offer to change the drink. Won’t be returning in a hurry. Gone down the pan this place has! Real shame as it used to be a gem of a place!

Took a nostalgia trip a week ago when we had to come to Wolverhampton for business. We left 20 years ago, and it's always risky and usually disappointing to re-visit a favourite haunt but not in this case! Like a little nugget of time travel it was exactly the same inside, the Holdens Special and cheese and onion cobs still amazing, atmosphere chilled and vibrant, and friendly welcoming staff. Thank you all, it made me a bit emotional! Keep doing what you're doing, you and your pub are a rare gem.

Staying at the nearby Premier Inn we decided to eat elsewhere than the TableTable, opting for this location - online we saw they did meals so headed over, just a 5-min walk parallel to the train tracks... only to find when we got there they stopped taking orders at 7pm so had to get an order in quick! The place is railway-themed and feels small upon entry until you realise it actually goes back some way, once past the bar. It's not a young trendy pub by all means (no Wifi, for example) but has a lot of history around and seems popular with the older crowd, quite tranquil in atmosphere. There was live music towards the end of their deceptively long lounge (but we stayed near the bar where it was quieter). Our meals arrived fairly quickly but were pretty much dropped off by a waitress who hastily vanished; I had to hunt around for cutlery and condiments - it seems they'd all been cleared up in advance of 7pm, so it felt odd no help was offered with that. Nonetheless, the meals were enjoyable, quite traditional and filling. My steak pie had a nice rich tomato flavour to the gravy, and the chips were thick to soak up the juice. My colleague's faggots were likewise meaty with a dark gravy, nice and heart-warming. There's a good range of varied ales; I tried out some different ones but settled for Golden Glow, a 4% session ale that was quite palatable and went down easily. We were later joined by some friends and a good four hours of continued drinking proceeded, until kicking-out around 2300. Although open on sundays they didn't do meals then, else we'd have returned there. But when in the area, I'm more than happy to eat again, given the variety on offer and the reasonable prices.

We came here on Saturday Night, hoping to eat, but all they had was a few cobs on the bar. Why do they stop serving food so early? It's laziness: another 6 hours of trading and they shut the kitchen. On the plus side, the ale is superb; whoever is doing the cellarwork knows their craft.

We didn't try the food so can't comment on it other than to mention there's a good selection at reasonable prices including cobs on the bar cheese and onion also ham with mustard available if wanted. Good selection of real ales at reasonable prices, the bar area is small but well presented with seating and tables extending far into the back. Everywhere was clean and tidy with the barmaid quick to clear and wipe down tables after they'd be vacated. Situated where it is it's like a hidden gem of a pub but it's no secret as everyone has heard of it.

I wrote a review last June saying that the quality of some of the food, especially the chips, was not what it was before the refurbishment & change of ownership. Sadly, that's still the case. The beer is very well kept, and the staff and the atmosphere friendly and welcoming, but the food still lets it down. Chips were soggy, greasy and tasted as though the deep fat fryer hadn't been changed in days, and the faggots (which used to be so good) had strange hard bits and balls of fat in them. I'm giving 4 stars as The Wessie is still one of my favourite pubs, but please can you try harder with the food?

After reading reviews on this cafe, breakfast was needed, so today I drove for an hour breakfast was ordered, Sarah's special, fantastic, eggs, salmon, fresh and tasty. Coffee and great service. Quiet because of virus, but when you have worded all week I just had to make a visit. People phone to book. After a couple of yrs, the impression this little cafe has left on my memory is very good.
