The Bentlands Pub in South Staffordshire

Visited this evening and received excellent service from Pin! She is a credit to the team, warm and friendly comical service which was greatly appreciated and made our evening very special! Food was delicious as always but Pin really made our experience top notch! Thank you :)

Cant fault the pub, food is amazing, they do Mexican food as well as normal menu, the desserts are delicious, staff are friendly , take your order at the table .

A beautiful old Manor House converted into one of the most attractive pubs in the West Midlands and Staffordshire combined.

Fabulous service once we had been seated at our table and very attentive. Sadly same couldn't be said whilst waiting at bar to be served drinks whilst waiting for our table. In fact the 4 of us were apparently completely invisible as several people who came in after us got servied first and then they acted surprised that we wanted drinks whilst awaiting our table even though they served 3 other members of our table who came in 5 minutes after us first!

Good range of beer's and decent food ,I would go again no problem

Good selection of real ale HPA and Timothy Tailor Landlord which was in good condition. Busy but excellent service

Walked in to the bentlands for an afternoon drink with family and to enquire about food. Plan was have a drink in the garden wait for a table however… While ordering my drinks with my children I was pounced on by the manger Becky who couldn’t be arsed to say “hello, have you got a table”!. To actually say with a sour face “children aren’t welcome unless eating”. There was no tables and would have to eat outside. Had my drinks not already been paid for I’d have left. Appreciate it was busy and would normally book in advance but to be made feel unwelcome is another story. The managers Customer skills for front of house are disgusting not even a smile. If that’s how customers are being approached then her staff must be walking on egg shells.

There’s No tables to eat inside to and would have to go out side. Had my drinks not been paid for I’d have left and walked. Personally I think she needs to review her customer service skills as there disgusting or move on to a less involved job that deals with front of house people with a sour face. I feel sorry for her staff they must walk on egg shells.

We returned here for our 24 year old twins birthday. There were 6 adults and my granddaughter. The staff, Sam, Emily Nicola and the other staff were fantastic. The food was fresh, well presented, very tasty and piping hot. They bought out 2 birthday cakes and plates and cutlery for us. Noth4was too much trouble.

Abbie, Nic, Emily, Sam, Ellie, Kelly & everyone else were very friendly. Chefs cooked great food. Highly recommend

It is one of my top places to go for food Always delicious food great portion size food They've made some great changes, and the outside area is brilliant as it can get very busy A great place to go out for a family meal all in all Will always be my first option to go when going out as a family for a lovely meal

Excellent & Amazing food, professional service , and you always receive a warm welcome from all the Staff. Highly recommended but you need to book a table. You will not be disappointed 🍽️💯👌

Best pie I've ever had!! So many options and the food was so delicious. This place is fantastic the staff were so lovely. The two ladies who greeted us were so friendly. Must visit. We will come again.

You would be hard pressed to find a better meal at their prices. The choice of food is excellent and we have tried more than a few since we have made it our go to place. We have enjoyed everything from tex-mex to fish and chips. Never yet been disappointed. Well worth a try!

My family booked at end of June for my 70th birthday my Husband called in to check the table and booking the Friday before the Tuesday and was told it was all in place only to walk in on the day to talk us they had moved us to somewhere that we don't want to sit this has happen last year on my Husband 75th birthday they were so rude we had my mum of 96 years with us i would never go there again they just didn't care .we didn't stop as the table was not appropriate.

No person should book a table at this establishment especially when it's for a special occasion (e.g. 70th Birthday). As they cannot keep to the booking of a table correct. This isn't the first time this has happened too us! The staff are rude and the owner licencee is uncaring for the patrons

Lovely food, really good portion sizes. The staff are lovely and so welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Food is not very hot. Mediocre for the cost.

We visited The Bentlands recently to celebrate one of our runners 60th birthday. As usual the service and food for a large party of runners was excellent. Lovely atmosphere and staff helped with all the arrangements including delivery of the cake.

Really nice food at very reasonable prices. Good selection of beers and drinks. Nice staff. Delighted to find Guinness Zero served.

Fantastic food, drink, service In a lovely pub, what more could you ask for

First time at the Bentlands and it won't be the last. 100% Perfect. Thank you.

My second visit today in as many weeks and really enjoyed it.Meal was spot on with service to match.Look forward to my next visit

19 of us went for my son in laws birthday. Never been before but will definitely return. The food was plentiful, piping hot and fresh. Staff very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

We came here on my future son in laws 25rh birthday. The staff were all friendly and helpful especially Nicola who was very pleasant and loved the banter ♥️ The food was excellent and piping hot. Will definitely come again.

Always a decent number of punters here. Lovely big beer garden and the food I have tried has all been very nice.

Lovely pub. So glad we came upon it on our way home from Wolverhampton. Lovely food. Very well priced and huge servings. Will definitely be back

Good range of guest ales, well kept.

The food was lovely but waited at the bar for a few minutes to be served. Do customers get checked on anymore to make sure their food is ok because we didn't and when spending almost £80 in the time we were there I find this disappointing and paying £6.50 for a slice of cake with squirty cream, what a rip off.

First time going to the bentlands and the service and food was great, lovely atmosphere too. Definitely recommend a visit and can't wait to go back.

Was there for a cousins reunion. Really nice place and staff. Food was good. My husband took the curry but didn't like it. Plenty of appealing good. Will go again. We spent £50 per couple with the food and coffee or tea included for some of them.

I frequently come here on a weekly basis, as we have never had a bad meal. The quality of the food is excellent, the price is fantastic and the service comes with a smile! The food can take a few minutes extra to arrive, but as is stipulated on a chalk board next to the kitchen, ‘we don’t do fast food, we do fresh food’. Overall an outstanding pub with great food and a pleasantly cheap round.

Staff were exceptional. Due to my allergy,told the waitress & Chef went above & beyond to accommodate, in oder that I could have the meal I wanted. Thank you all

1st time been here, was a meet up for friends birthday. Place is lovely and really have to give a shout out to the staff service with a smile and make you feel welcome, Partner and daughter really enjoyed food and I did enjoy the ale 🍺 😀 would recommend and will return

What a great find. Absolutely lovely place, great outside area. We ordered meals which were delicious. The portion sizes are huge and we couldn't finish. Definitely recommend.

Very good good and quick friendly service

Pleasantly surprised. Great variety on the menu and the portion sizes were really generous. Food was so good, especially the fajitas. Would definitely return

Six of us went on Monday 24th June to belatedly celebrate my birthday. Everything was spot on. We had a lovely table overlooking the gardens. The staff were all very efficient and friendly.

Fantastic as normal. One of the only places around that consistently delivers a fresh pint time after time.

Had Tex Mex Chicken 😋also Darcy was so helpful thank you 😊 always a great meal & experience at The Bentlands 🙌see you again 🙋🏻‍♂️

Food is always excellent. Staff are courteous and have patience. Very alert to any allergies they need to be aware of. The Bentlands ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS has the best pint of Enville Ale. In my experiences of being a drinker lf many years this is a drink which is hard to get right. Bentlands really have it spot on everytime.

Visited today with family for 80th Birthday lunch. Food was excellent and staff very friendy. Good varied menu can highly recommend the sweet and sour chicken. Will definitely return for another meal soon.

Stopped off for a drink in the evening, lovely place with nice staff.

Really nice pub / restaurant. I was in quite a large party for Easter Sunday lunch. Had a couple of drinks in the bar before dining and the bar service was great. Once in the restaurant the food was really good, I shared Nacho Supreme for two with my nephew and had a rare 8oz sirloin steak for my main, which was cooked perfectly. The service was great, with several tabs being run between everyone at the table without issues.

No email address. Over priced for a bar.

Always good food and plenty of it,good service and great staff,have been dining here for many years never been disappointed.👍

Had a great meal on Friday night. Nothing we asked was too much having 1 coeliac in our group. They ensured all food was adequate for her needs.

Excellent range of beer, good prompt service and food spot on. First visit in years but won't wait so long again

Really tricky this one. We visited on Tuesday night for a birthday. Table of 9, plenty of drinks, starters and mains, so the bill was not inconsiderable. The food, as always, was excellent. The choice and the menu was great, as was the girl who was serving the table, really ameanable and friendly, and the service was good, however towards the end of the evening it became quite clear as the pub started to empty out about 10ish, that we had overstayed our welcome. The table was booked at 8, so 2 hours for 9 people for 3 courses. We were told in quite an abrupt fashion that we should be thinking about leaving, and as we walked out were pretty much looked up and down by someone sat at the bar who we then found out was the supervisor. It's a real shame, as the food here is genuinely excellent, but the service and attitude the last couple of times we've visited has been enough for us to not return.

Excellent pub serving good food and drinks. Service was brilliant, would 100% recommend. Food was nice and tasty, good portions also. Calamari was brilliant. Nice selections of drinks for kids and adults.

Children beware. Pulled chicken is not plain chicken but spicy chicken (no description on the menu) when we complained we were offered replacement nachos with cheese or sour cream however my daughters mouth was burning which made her feel sick so I asked for a free dessert to cool her mouth. This was refused.

Lovely place, everyone, but myself enjoyed the meal. My jacket potatoe was still rock hard, which should have been noticed when the cut it open.

A great pub/restaurant with welcoming friendly staff and plenty of parking. Best to book a table in advance if you wish to eat there as they are very busy with quick turnaround once tables are vacated. Good choices of drinks both hot and cold at reasonable prices. Great variety on the menu also at reasonable prices. I went as part of a group of 8 friends in the early evening on a Saturday. The service was excellent with all our different dishes coming out at the same time. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their meal, it was delicious! Would highly recommend.

Amazing Tex-Mex food. Piping hot & a hearty plate full. Pub was heaving on a Wednesday night so recommend booking. Thanks to all staff who were very welcoming. Already planning a return visit.

Lovely food is well worth a visit but if your going to eat it would be a good idea to ring & pre book a table especially on a weekend.

Fabulous food. Staff were great. Especially Emma. Nice quiet atmosphere during lunch time. So full, had to take a doggy bag home. Thank you for a fab meal.

The Bentlands is a busy pub/restaurant with plenty of car parking. The seating is spread out in various different areas around a central bar. Some of the decor is a little tired but the place is very clean. The menu is quite varied with the usual pub grub and some Tex Mex dishes.The food is excellent: really tasty and superb value. There is also a good variety of drinks at sensible prices. The staff are really friendly, helpful and cheerful. I will definitely return here next time I’m in the area.

Met some friends for lunch. Once again we all had lovely meals.

Nice birthday meal. Had plenty of room, staff attentive. Portions plenty

This is what I expect from pub food . Great welcome, organised and prompt service, good looking and really tasty, well cooked food. My only criticism would be to better describe your sweets. Just a name, conjured up all sorts of reasons not to choose a sweet I really like. But I chose well as the flavours rolled around in my mouth and delivered my expected, taste sensations. Thanks to all the staff at The Bentlands. We will be back and hopefully, comment further on our returning visits.

10 out of 10, couldn't fault anything, food lovely, staff so friendly and nice and couldn't help enough, 10 full bellies for my birthday.. Thankyou, staff are a credit, keep it up.

Excellent service brilliant staff food is 1st rate great selection recommend to anyone nothing is to much trouble can't wait till the next visit

This is an excellent restaurant, specialising in Tex-Mex cuisine. There is ample vegetarian choice, and no loud background musack. The service is efficient and friendly. The helpings are substantial, so it’s worth considering sharing. Prices are reasonable, and there is ample parking. We’ll return soon.

Pretty decent food and drink and pretty good value.

We have been here a few times, always had a really lovely meal. The staff are always friendly & welcoming. We came here a few weeks ago, and I forgot to leave this review, but needs must! We had our autistic son with us that was slightly over stimulated. (Sorry, I dont know your name/ manager). This lady went out of her way, to print off his favourite characters to colour in and was absolutely brilliant with the children! (Power rangers posters!) We had a lovely meal and all ate far too much! However most times, it can be extremely difficult to stay for a meal with challenging children. But, at no point did we feel uncomfortable. We were made to feel very welcome, But just wanted to say, it made such the difference of having such wonderful staff with a personal caring touch. Definitely recommend 👌

Absolutely fab. Staff excellent. Service excellent. Food excellent Would highly recommend a visit. Prices of food & drinks not too bad .

Lovely food for a joint family birthday! First time my husband and I have been here. Lovely food and good service. Thank you

Good quality Tex-Mex food. Always consistently high quality with a good menu choice and a good choice of drinks. Great value for money!

It's one of my favourite restaurants. Huge portions, good price, friendly staff. Have most our birthdays here now!

Sunday lunch with my mum and it was awesome- food was soooo delicious and the beef melted in the mouth. portion sizes large- highly recommend as good value for money and the staff were lovely

First time here after being recommended. Absolutely amazing food. Friendly staff great atmosphere. Portions were huge. Well worth the money. Will definitely be returning 👍👍👍

Great fresh food and big portions

Always great fresh food, nice atmosphere and is ran very well, glad it’s so local

First visit with friends. Meal was enjoyable if a big portion ..

Excellent evening.could not flaultthe food or the service.

Following (ample) brilliant experiences at the Bentlands, we arrived for what we hoped would be another fantastic meal. Our belief couldn’t be further from the truth. Upon arrrival, are party of 4 were seated by a young waitresss who promptly took our orders for both drinks and our meal (maybe a little too quickly). After an unusually long wait, 3 of the 4 meals were bought out and were told by the young waitress that the other meal was just a coupe of minutes away and that there had been a mess up in the kitchen. The young waitress was questioned but assured us that the meal was literally 2 minutes away. She was incorrect. This was a lie. An older waitress came over and apologised and said 1 meal had been cancelled in the kitchen as 2 of our party ordered the same meal. She said it would be a further 10-20 minutes for the 4th meal as the food is all cooked fresh. I would hope so for the price point! This meant the younger waitress time stamp was incorrect. We then said we’d cancel the 4th meal due to the great inconvenience caused and just 3 of us would eat. 1 free desert was offered but there was no point in this. We came out for a meal. Else, we would have gone to a a desert parlour. The 3 meals were (as expected) served to a high standard but our family of 4 were only able to eat as a family of 3. When the bill was delivered by the older waitress, the cancelled meal was still being charged for so we requested the manager who greeted us with nothing but arrogance. She blamed this issue on staff shortages. I understand times can be difficult in hospitality but her excuses weren’t appropriate or welcomed after our dreadful experience. She said she could take off the cancelled meal (this is the bare minimum) but could do nothing else as the rest of us enjoyed our meals. She was clearly missing the fact we came out to eat as a family of 4 and couldn’t due to her staff’s error. After continually arguing, she eventually agreed to remove 2 drinks from the bill. This argument and arrogance from the manger was uncalled for. She could have come over, apologised and rectified the issue. The rudeness wasn’t necessary.

Really lovely place with a nice atmosphere. Had a very tasty lunch served by welcoming pleasant staff. It was our first visit and we will definitely return for more!

Giving these stars for the waitress PIN... when we got there it was very crowded and we couldn't find a place to si.. we got spoken to very rudley by a waitress and then saw her gesture to the other staff... I felt like leaving at this point.. however I did not and we was served by a very welcoming happy member of staff. Thanks, pin!

We had an amazing Saturday lunch trying out the new festive menu. We didn't have a booking but the staff there were able to accommodate us which we're greatly thankful for. In my opinion The Bentlands is the best place to dine out in the area. The food is always beautiful and (in what's becoming exceedingly rare in the restaurant industry these days) the portion sizes are fantastic. We were all stuffed and extremely satisfied. You cannot fault the value for money. A special shout out to our hostess Pin. She, as always, was brilliant. Attentive, funny, and highly accommodating. Thanks to all for a great Saturday lunch experience. Sadly I didn't think to take any pictures if the scrumptious food but please go there and find out for yourself 🙂🤤.

Just dropped in for lunch. It was excellent food and good value.

Lovely food, great beer. Worth the wait.

Great food,always served hot and generous portions.The menu gives you a fantastic selection of tex-mex and pub favourites. Service is always excellent. Lovely pub gardens for when we do have sunshine.

walked in and it stunk so bad we had to leave. it's a shame

Nice feel extensive menu food very good

A special night spoilt My wife and I went to The Bentlands this evening for a special occasion. The food and service couldn’t be faulted but a very, very loud party ruined the experience. I asked them to turn the volume down and also asked to speak to the manager. The manager was apologetic, offered a voucher and advised that she had asked the party to be quieter. That must have lasted for a good 60 seconds. Another customer then claimed that my language was inappropriate and this was immediately accepted by the manager. As the innocent party I feel very aggrieved and had a special evening ruined by inconsiderate people and poor customer care. We won’t be returning anytime soon.

Pleasant meal. Music playing in the background so not overpowering. Lovely staff.

Very good service and good food

Just returned after yet another amazing lunch. We eat here about once a month. The food is varied to cover everyone’s taste. We’ve never been disappointed on anything we’ve chosen. The staff are friendly and efficient but we must single out one particular person, Elle. She always remembers the little extra touches we like. The service she gives us is always exemplary. It’s a lovely family friendly pub/restaurant with exceptional food. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Food always beautifully cooked and staff always lovely. Tried the Sunday lunch today and it was so good 😊

One of the best beer gardens anywhere, reliably cracking food, great service, lovely staff and it's in Codsall, the centre of the bloody Universe, five minutes' walk from the station. To ask for more would be churlish, frankly.

Nice food, Nice staff overall would go again

Myself and a friend had a lovely lunch yesterday, delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere. Can't wait to go back again.

The Bentlands is our go-to place for all family occasions and never has it disappointed us. Our most recent visit was good as always . . a table for ten people as a birthday celebration. Lovely food, all served correctly and at the same time too! Always a good selection of drinks there along with friendly, helpful staff. We shall always return 🙂

Had a lovely meal with great company, I would definitely recommend this place .I'm looking forward to returning .

Great pub with great service and lovely atmosphere.

Nothing and nowhere compares with the Mexican food they have here. We have been visiting for 20 yrs........ I know!!! and its always been a real treat for its food all of that time. Good quality and more than tasty. Nothing to complain of. Staff are always friendly and pleasant. You need to book and that's because the bar area has been made smaller which is the only draw back I can note. I love the Sombrero Rump steak and my partner enjoys their Tikka Masala, but we have tried other dishes a real treat. This is one place I can strongly recommend a salad. Such a mix of items. A joy. We come away more than satisfied.

We previously enjoyed a lovely meal here a few weeks ago so rebooked for my daughters 18th birthday. Our excitement was soon dampened by the abrupt unfriendly attitude of the manager on the evening of the 3rd October. The starters came in a timely fashion but unfortunately one dish was accompanied by a black hair. In fairness this meal was replaced. The mains arrived but again contained another hair this time blonde. Further drinks arrived with no glasses and at this point we felt we needed to bring this to their attention again. The attitude from the same apparent manager was not only dismissive but actually rude. Luckily we were then served by what appeared more junior members of staff who were actually a breath of fresh air. What should have been a memorable 18th birthday actually ended in a complete disappointment. The unfortunate thing is that the quality of food without the hair was very good but one individual seemed happy to ruin the experience. What a shame and totally unnecessary!!!!

Popped in for a couple of drinks after child minding. Never been in before, pleasant surprise. Didn't eat but menu looked nice, varied and good value. Loads of parking. Would definitely visit again

Great food and service not the best had to go and get my drinks order myself as the waitresses were chatting the other side of the bar with friends

Visited for lunch today, and as always very impressed with service, value and atmosphere. Great menu and very reasonable. Highly recommend. Worth the trip down from North Wales just for the local beers - Wrexham lager not for me - much prefer to travel down for the Enville Ale which is always kept just right.
