Old Irish Harp in Walsall

Absolutely terrible experience, anything and everything that could go wrong went wrong. I would never ever go back. I would not recommend this pub at all.

Lovely environment. Staff friendly and helpful. Food delicious. All made better with 30% off main course.

A friendly and happy public house with ample parking and outside seating. Managed to access everywhere on my sticks.

Great pub, great staff! Can’t believe as the Irish harp, can’t get a Guinness at the last 3 visits. Disappointing as really love this place.

Bar staff need to realise who's next in the queue and it wasn't even busy, had mixed grill with one of the mains and steak was very chewy, restaurant was clean and waitress was very accommodating

Really impressed with our meals, tasty and beautifully cooked. Service polite and very good. Will definitely return!

For almost £18(!) for my Fish and Chips, I asked for my peas to be changed to beans as peas give me digestive issues. I was told 'you can't change it now' by the waitress with a stern look on her face, proceeded with 'you can change it to beans, but you'll have to pay for it' to which we unwillingly said 'okay that's fine', to which she responded with 'you'll have to go and order it at the bar'. Okay. So, after digging into our food which was already lukewarm on a hot day (can you believe it?), we're going to go to the bar to order a lukewarm pot of beans when it took us 15 minutes to be served 2 drinks? Lovely outdoor area, but that's about it. Rude staff, slow service and poor customer service. After being spoken to the way we were, we anxiously ate our food and hurried off the site. What a waste of our hard-earned £60, to just be disrespected. If you wish to make ANY amendment considering how expensive the food is in regards to the location (it's not Central London is it?), not to mention it's 2025 when intolerances and allergies are more prevalent than ever, this isn't the place to go. A very backwards thinking establishment. If the waitress spoke to us the way she did, God knows what the management are like. Don't go.

Disappointed that we couldn’t swap certain items but Dan the waiter was amazing. He looked after us so well and explained everything calmly

Good food but go early. They seem to run out of things quickly. Staff very helpful and friendly.

We were on the 30% discount deal and the price we paid for the meal was very good value.my wife uses a walker to assist her in walking, all access areas were good and plenty of room to park the walker. We were served by Emily she was very attentive in her service. When we arrived we were shown to our table by a male member of staff who immediately brought us menu’s and asked if we would like a drink while looking at our menu. This was excellent.

Overpriced poor food even with the deals I wouldn't go back

Visited many times and always great food and service. Our waiter young Ryan was very pleasant and efficent. 5 stars as always. See you soon

Very busy Saturday evening but our waitress was very attentive. Menu choices excellent and our food and drink was fantastic.

Our server Morgan was really kind and really good with us and making sure we got our orders right. 5 stars will come again.

Had our works Christmas meal at the Irish Harp. The food was excellent with very generous portions. All of the staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend spending an evening here, a very nice atmosphere and lovely surroundings 😁

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere food arrived hot and within a reasonable time

Had a lovely evening here, food was great and the staff were really friendly especially Caine gave us some great advice on drinks

Food was impeccable! cannot complain! our steak and pie was amazing! our waitress morgan could not have been more helpful!!!

Our waitress Morgan was fantastic.

We were looked after by Emily, the new menu is great and the added bonus of 30% off was great! Food was fantastic as always, looking forward to making a trip in the summer to spend some time in the beer garden.

UPDATE - I brought my mother here on the 29th August for her birthday. Our experience at the Old Irish Harp is wonderful - as aIways. Thank you to all at the OIH. *** I brought my mother to the Old Irish Harp for her birthday meal yesterday. She really enjoyed the food, as did I, and our server - Mia, was lovely and very helpful and courteous at all times. The non-alcohol drinks (as my mum is diabetic and I was driving) were really nice - Erdinger. So thank you and I look forward to seeing you again. My compliments to the chef and all staff at OIH.

Friendly atmosphere and staff are very nice and attentive. Lovely bar area with exposed wood beams everywhere. Food was good there's plenty of options for gluten free people as well. I imagine it's great in the summer as there is plenty of outdoor tables and seating so I'll be back in a few months!

Lovely pub cuisine with plenty of choice in a relaxed atmosphere. Good service from the friendly staff.

Beautiful food ,great service from friendly staff, all round lovely afternoon ,thank you 😀

Can’t recommend this place enough

Wonderful waitress Ella looked after us well

Our waitress Ella was beyond amazing. She ensured all of our party were happy and had everything we wanted. Very pleased all round

enjoyed the evening. and the meal. accidentally pressed 1 star now corrected my star ratings. ⁸

enjoyable afternoon visit good food and atmosphere good time nice banter

Great food and service. Thankyou for a great experience. 😃

Very interesting place Good atmosphere

The young man who greeted us and served us is a credit to you, so lovely, friendly. Made a great recommendation and got me to change my dessert and he made a very good choice, cheesecake divine. All 3 courses were great, baked mushrooms, steak pie and cheesecake. Lovely atmosphere, definately will be returning and was quite busy for a Wednesday too.

Lovely spot and food consistently good.

Really nice atmosphere. The waitress explained the menu was due to change and some items were not available. One was the buttermilk chicken burger which my niece wanted, they catered for this and made her a chicken burger using the buttermilk tenders instead! We all enjoyed our food and puddings! Lovely food

Very nice place in pop in for lunch. Good food and drinks reasonably priced. Excellent friendly staff.

Lovely pub/restaurant with great food and atmosphere.

Our waitress was lovely and engaging from start to finish and the tall young barman was also very professional and welcoming. But they were the only good things. The other staff we saw going in and out of through the restaurant were dishevelled. They looked like they could do with a good wash and press as well as their clothes! They looked like food came in good time, but it was poorly presented, it lacked card and attention. The calamari was over cooked. The lasagne, was just warm enough to be OK but usually they come out piping hot. (The dish was!?!) The ‘garlic’ bread was barely garlicky and the green salad was a pile of rocket dumped on the plate, with a couple of little gem leaves thrown on the top. The lasagne dish had quite clearly had cheese thrown on the top, put under the grill then served up without care. (Burnt bits of cheese surrounded the lasagne.) A real shame as the taste was quite nice. More care and attention is needs all round. We were cold most of the evening as there seemed to be a cold draft from both directions.

Everything was excellent. Great varied menu with different items on.

Lovely tea time meal with hubby, god choice of food and drinks staff were very pleasant and efficient. We also had a voucher for 30% off main courses which was useful

Always good food and excellent service by friendly and professional staff

Great Christmas meal. Even a vegan option that wasn't a burger. Staff excellent, clean, warm atmosphere. Really good value for a Christmas meal

Not the cheapest lunch but tasty all the same

Well organised outdoor dining ,shorter menu than normal but all very nice under obvious different to normal circumstances, but worth noting order a drink when half way down the one your on .

This was the best Christmas Day lunch my family of 12 have ever had.We’ve tried hotels and Golf Clubs , but this place beats them all. Everything was 5 star, the food, the ambiance, the service, a special day made extra special!!!! Many thanks to Emily and our very attentive waitress Milly.

My friend had booked The Snug for a gathering. It was snug and comfortable for our group. Drinks and food was good. Service was good also.

My family and I had our Xmas dinner at this pub. We have eaten out for Xmas a few times now and I have to say this was by far the best ever. So much so we immediately rebooked for next Xmas! Upon arrival we had a lovely warm welcome by Emily, the Assistant Manager and then throughout the meal we were looked after by Millie, who was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious - we couldn’t fault it. Our starters, mains and puddings were all stunning. To provide exceptional service as well as the perfect meal on this scale (busy Xmas day - the place was full of families) is incredible. Thavk you to all at the Irish Harp for giving us a wonderful Xmas day lunch. You did a brilliant job.

Absolutely fantastic Christmas Day meal. Emily & Millie were so helpful & could not do enough for my family of 12. Wonderful meal. 10/10 would dine again.

Won a free meal for four for boxing day! It was for the main courses only but we could choose anyth8ng from the menu. Service was great really attentive staff. Food was lovely and served promptly. Quality of the meat on my mixed grill was great! No complaints- only thing is it was much quieter than I expected for boxing day evening. Had a lovely time and will definitely visit again. X

The warm welcome and standard of service received was refreshingly good

We had the best Sunday Roast for a very long time. We go to a different restaurant each Sunday & non compares with The Old Irish Harp for quality of food, variety of vegetables & excellent service. So good was our experience that I have booked to bring a party of 22 members of Walsall U3A "Meet'n'Eat" Group for lunch on Feb.9th. Lovely atmosphere too. Well done

Poor service. Although breakfast with santa not festive. Santa was poor Didn't recieve all breakfast items. Toilets dirty and smelly although early morning. Smoking shelter where we waited until opening time was dirty. Tables sticky not wiped ashtrays full.

Nice enough place - waitress friendly and helpful Table was dirty with sticky rings - general condition of table - apparently awaiting re varnishing - scruffy and well worn Food was served reasonably promptly however ratio of pat’e to toast not good a little more toast would been good Main courses arrived presentation was average - 1 meal returned as wrong - credit given for that - the chicken in the hunters chicken was extremely tough to cut and hard to chew - all of the meats on the mixed grill - with the exception Of the lamb chop- were over cooked and very dry On a high note chips were very good Overall food was edible but not completely enjoyable

Food was really good, atmosphere was lovely and the staff were really friendly. The service was quite slow but can understand a bit because it was Sunday lunchtime. Very good for allergies and enough options for vegetarians

Lovely waitress (Megan), delicious food and wine - we will definitely be back!! Great selection of food too, we struggled to choose!

Friendly staff. Good food. Good service.

Terrible experience, long wait for food and when it did arrive both dishes were cold. Asked for replacement meals but just warmed up in microwave and returned. Both dishes were ruined, dry and tasted awful. Asked to speak to manage who was a young women who had no customer skills, she was dismissive and blamed her staff. Overrated, overpriced with poor customer service.

Milly was really nice to us and very helpful.

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly, helpful staff. Tasty, hot food. Would have been nice to have a better selection of Christmas cocktails, the three on offer were not the best. Overall a lovely night

Fantastic Christmas meal. Hot and plenty of it.

Nice food and staff were excellent. The only issue we had was that the heating wants turning up. The place was cold and obviously the meal goes cold. There was no hot water in the gents toilets.

Greatest burger I've ever had (signature burger) Service was great and friendly by Rhys J. Will definitely be back and highly recommend

Staff were pleasant and attentive. Food was delicious and arrived within good time. Well recommended!

Staff were really lovely, food excellent

Great drinks, great food and it's dog friendly - what more could you ask for? Service is really friendly too - Kane in particular was very helpful and made us feel at ease so thank you! We'll defo be coming again at some point.

Had two meals here recently and really pleased with our experience, Ryan our server was great. Would recommend

Lovely staff, good food, nice place. Reasonably priced too.

Lovely atmosphere, fast friendly service.

Good food reasonable price friendly efficient staff

Staff were very polite, friendly and attentive. Sunday roast dinners and desserts were all excellent

Very good food. Very good service with attentive staff. Highly recommend their Sunday roast triple.

Went for family birthday meal, group of 7 and cannot fault this place, lovely decor, friendly staff and very good food, my husband is usually a harsh critic when eating steak in a pub but said his ribeye was one of the best he s had and peppercorn sauce was amazing, my kebab meal was delicious and rest of family on fish and chips were also happy with food. We all had a great experience and will definately return

Simply wonderful, excellent food amazing service. We will definitely be back! Thank you

Great service and food quality seems to have improved since my last visit. Will be back again soon.

Manager (didn’t get his name) was amazing, always busy, always polite and very prompt. I used to work for the Harp but over 8 years ago and so glad he has upheld the hard working reputation. He was a credit plus gave my dad a free drink for his birthday.

A brilliant restaurant that lays the benchmark for pub grub. Steak Americano with dripping sauce was amazing and desert finished me off.

What a disappointment! Following a promotional Irish Harp Remembrance offer arriving through our door, (limited edition Poppy glass with your drink to keep) my family and I took the opportunity to call in for refreshments following attending the nearby Remembrance Day Parade in Aldridge Sunday 10th November. The venue claims to be supporting our Veterans with events and promotions. My husband is a Veteran and was wearing his medals and Regimental headdress following the parade. On arrival we saw a sign saying that they also welcome Blue Light Card discount. Great! Unfortunately my husband producing his BL card wasn’t enough, the barman insisted that he download the app and obtain the QR code. This proved difficult. We then asked if we could have our drinks in a Poppy glass as per the promotion? Not possible replied the barman, ‘we ran out of those weeks ago’, was the reply. Ok, let’s order drinks then, we may even stay for lunch. The barman then refuses to serve our 21 year old son without ID, (I get that, it’s the law), but talk about making it really difficult to get served. My husband may have been wearing a clown outfit, it would have received the same respect. So it was a swift about turn and off we went refreshment less. Proud to support our Veterans? I think not! We will not be returning to the Irish Harp and my husband will be sure to be very vocal when discussing our experience with the charities and organisations that he is involved with. Shame!

Had a lovely meal today with friends and family. 5 roast dinners and I had the sirloin steak. All cooked beautifully, the medium rare steak I asked for was excellent. All in all a lovely late afternoon. Definitely recommended

Very friendly atmosphere in the pub, food always top class and dog friendly! Was served by Dan, a true gentleman :)

Had a really lovely time. Staff were very welcoming and were attentive and friendly throughout. Meals were superb. My steak was cooked to perfection. The Porn Star Martini cocktail was one of the best I'd had. We'll definitely be back again.

Very friendly staff and lovely food, first time going as family have recently moved close buy. Definitely recommend for special occasions or just a lunch. Do specials on Wednesday and Thursday.

Had a lovely evening, staff were great, pleasant, polite and helpful.

Booked online for early dinner at 5.30. We arrived on time, and before we had even sat down we were asked what drinks we would like. The server seemed to be rushing us the whole time. Then, at just before 7pm, we were informed that the table was needed because they were busy, so effectively evicted from the restaurant! We were asked if we had vouchers which we didn't so those with discounted vouchers were given priority over full paying customers. Won't be going back!

lovely food lovely place will defo be back staff polite

Beautiful meal this evening. Rump steak, steak and ale pie and delicious apple and cherry crumble with custard. It’s been years since we last visited but we will return soon. Lovely comfortable setting. Compliments to the chef - everything was cooked to perfection. Thankyou to Millie for looking after us from the moment we arrived until we left. ♥️

Always very friendly and helpful.

Ryan was really gods very attentive

Terrible food, someone even got food poisoning

Lovely food and fantastic service from the wait staff, thank you!

Warm welcome and attentive waitress. She served us on a previous visit and was part of the reason we returned. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. 100% will return in the not too distant future.

Came for lunch to celebrate my Nan’s Birthday. Had an amazing time and the food was excellent! Nicky made us feel welcome and provided excellent service

Very nice food, good selection of drinks, lovely atmosphere, great staff and a lovely pub!
