Old Irish Harp Aldridge in Walsall

Excellent food a little longer wait than I expected but nonetheless worth the wait in the end, Two really lovely lads that took care of us very attentive and happy to serve us.

Great evening with great company and good and service was great. Our service from Ryan was great and very attentive and couldn’t help us more on the evening. Will definitely be back

We had a lovely Sunday meal at the Old Irish Harp for my 40th birthday lunch. We had a selection of items from the Sunday menu, including three roast dinners, a burger and hunter’s chicken. We were greeted at the door by Ryan. We’d arrived half an hour before our booking but were shown to our table straight away. The service was excellent, Ryan was attentive and friendly throughout our meal, even packing up the uneaten food for us to take home. As some of us don’t drink it was great to see a good selection of different soft drinks on the menu (some didn’t have prices on though) and hot drinks available. We started our visit with individual pots of two different teas, but there were 5-6 to choose from. The person with a nut allergy in our group was well looked after, checking and double checking which meal was theirs so they could ensure the food was nut-free. Thank you to everyone at the OIH! We had a great time and will definitely be visiting again soon!

Lovely Sunday lunch with other options available on the main menu. Ryan was really helpful and great service from the team. Will definitely be back.

I’m not going to lie i booked hear only because other places didn’t have a table for such a large group, there was 14 of us 6 of them was children, we have never been hear before so really wasn’t sure what to expected, but im so glad i did as we had such a lovely evening, the food was amazing! And the service was excellent, Ryan was great he always checked to see if we was ok for drinks and checking if everythink was ok. It’s a lovely friendly pub and inside is so cosy. We will definitely be returning and will recommend it to people.

Friendly welcome by staff. Really detailed menu, the chef personally came out to speak to us and offer suggestions and check on allergies! Tom is very knowledgeable and professional foe such a young che. But clearly more than caoable of doing his job well!. He couldn't have been more friendly and accomodating. Food was served quickly and arrived hot and well presented! Will definitely be returning soon! Thankyou for a great visit.

Not the cheapest of pubs. But friendly helpful staff made it a nice experience.chef Tom was Very helpful as my partner has allergies. His knowledge of the food and ingredients used was amazing. I could not have wished for a better meal. And the point that chef Tom came to check on us and the food made it that little more special. Well done staff and well done chef Tom .

The food was quite tasty & nicely presented be it a little on the expensive side. However the length of time waiting was totally unacceptable. I noticed other customers looking fed up as well. It wasn’t even busy! I could not recommend I’m afraid. Unless you have lots of time to waste.

Shocking, Abysmal, Terrible, i cant think of any more at the moment. Not enough staff, extremely slow service. We went at 6pm so not late and they had run out of chips & mayonnaise. We ordered coffees and we could see them sat on the counter for nearly 20 mins, no attempt to bring them over to us. We lost patience and left.

Amazing lasagne, amstel beer and sticky toffee pudding for me. 3 more clean plates from my family. I would recommend the irish harp to anyone. Thank you so much. Very grateful.

Had a fantastic dinner with friends last night. Food was great but scarlett made our night, polite, friendly, such lovely young lady . Thanks for a great night x

Lovely meal - staff were friendly and attentive The toilets were not good - awful smell - toilets not clean

Was not impressed with the food her, i ordered Hunters Chicken and asked for a salad instead of chips, when my food came it looked lost on the plate, the salad consisted of 3 Lettice leaves and some chopped up tomato - absolutely disgusting, my starter was no better a lump of pate with some relish and a slice of bread poor presentation. 7 of us eat and the bill came to nearly £250, not value for money - would not go back

After attending a funeral this afternoon we went to the Irish Harp public house with four other family &friends for a drink and a bite to eat it took us twenty or so minutes to have our drinks order taken in a practically empty restaurant when the food order was taken we still hadn’t got our drinks and our food order hadn’t been taken which seemed to take an eternity to arrive the people behind the bar had no one to serve we were not impressed with this service at all our meals arrived the steaks were mainly burnt we asked for medium a meagre amount of chips one half a tomato our desserts weren’t much better when we asked for our bills they were wrong we took them back took them back to the bartenders who went through them and found various errors which we had amended we certainly will not be going back there.

We have been coming here for over 30 years. Sadly this was our last visit. We brought some friends who hadn’t been out for ages. Ordered our meals and after a while we were told ‘ no vegetarian pie’. Not a problem so we ordered the vegetarian curry as alternative. After a while we were told no rice( really!) Only offered alternative fries when asked. Meals came after a long wait. Very small portions of curry and pale soggy fries. We probably should have left at this point but it was getting late so we stayed. My husbands’s burger meal was ok but nothing special and burnt bits covering chips! In fairness the waitress was very polite and obviously embarrassed. When asking if the meal was ok we explained that we were very unhappy and asked to see the manager. He did come over but only when my husband got his attention. He only charged us for our drinks which was acceptable to us but a bad evening. Luckily we know our friends well and we agreed to go elsewhere in future. So sad that this go to pub has declined to such an extent.

Ordered the chicken bacon and avocado salad. Most expensive piece of lettuce, half a slice of bacon and chicken I’ve ever had. No avocado as described or anything else that you might expect in a salad. Mentioned it to the waiter who said he’d let the chef know but offered no recourse to me . Disappointing.

Great food great service from Mia thanks again guys, catered for my elderly father in law with his fringe with his dementia

Food was tepid, both the soup for starter, and fish on main course. Side salad was pathetic and totally boring, lettuce leaf, chopped up tomato and a bit of onion plonked on the side of plate! Told the manager who seemed not really to care, although did offer to get fresh fish. Restaurant was freezing, had to put coat on. Very expensive lunch for nothing special, we certainly will not be rushing back for the food or service 😒

Myself and my husband had a lovely lunchtime meal served by the lovely Nicky B who is always happy and helpful, nothing is to much and will spend time ensuring her customers are happy. Thank you Nicky for being so lovely, will definitely be returning.

Went for a lunch time meal and both the service and food were excellent, we certainly will visit again

bitterly dissappointed with our experience on christmas day. over an hour wait for our starters with no explanation & food was pre ordered so should not have been an issue, when they came the prawns to say they was sparce was an understatement although the soup wasnt to bad. actual christmas dinner was tasty but had to ask for certain things which had not been brought out with the meal, then a wait for the puddings & when they came, they came with a teaspoon of custard when asked if we could have more we was brought just a little bit more than first time hence the puddings wasnt all eaten. felt that the organisation leading up to this was very lax & needed a lot more thought paticulary in the kitchen & making sure all areas was covered. dissappointed.

My daughter Booked a family reunion meal and also booked the private room. On arrival another group were using the room so we had to sit in the main restaurant area. Not acceptable. We had pre- booked our meals. We were told when we sat down that many items were unavailable. It seemed there was a shortage of food as if no- one had placed a food order. We were very disappointed as we have been regularly visiting the old Irish harp as believed it to be one of the best. The z manager, Natalie, had only started he r job the day before and obviously was left with a mess on her hands. She worked hard to put right what she could and did her best under the circumstances she was having to deal with. She was the plus point of the evening. I will return one day!

I had visited this restaurant back in August and left a 5 star rating. On the basis of this my father and I decided to book in for our Christmas day lunch. The restaurant had put in place two sittings and we had opted for the 3pm timeslot. We arrived early and walked in to what could only be described as chaos, long queues of people paying and huddles of customers waiting for their tables. We eventually were seated by about 3.10pm, and our drinks order was taken. Food had been pre-ordered, so did not expect too much of a wait, however it was almost an hour before we received our starters. The main course we had both ordered was beef based, the pressed beef was lovely, but the steak, although cooked as requested was tough and not enjoyable. Dessert was OK, but the long wait, and average food resulted in an overall disappointing experience, somewhat spoiling our Christmas day. I feel the restaurant had overextended themselves and I believe they had lost a number of staff in the run up to Christmas. Next year I'll go to McDonald's!

We’ve returned to the Old Irish Harp after some time, and are very favourably impressed. It is in a pleasant environment with ample parking. The food is good, with ample vegetarian choice, prompt friendly service, and reasonable prices. What more could one want?

Don’t be in hurry. A Sunday lunch with too few servers is never a good experience. Add mediocre food and forgotten orders and it can only be described as “needs improvement”.
