The Birch Tree in Dudley

If you want a meal, make sure it's not on a Wednesday evening. Empty pub and still denied a table as it was "quiz night'. Wouldn't mind but I was there an hour before the quiz started and they didn't even check to see if we could have the table free by the start of the quiz. Laughable really, oh well had two meals at a nearby pub for less than the price of one on the set menu here anyway.

New Menu Was asked to try out the new menu Glad to say the old favourites were still there but some new additions Calamari - well prepared and tasty Bruschetta - Homemade and again well made and tasty Linguine - another dish well prepared and tasty New puds Strawberry cheesecake my sweet tooth loved this ( had more than I should…) Salted caramel brownie - well worth a bite I thought that some of the old favourites had also been tweaked and with some improvements I am sure I have missed a few but overall no complaints on the food. I would advise give the menu a try especially with the new additions

Tried the new menu tonight. Amazing! Everything was delicious. The bruschetta and the Mediterranean linguine are absolutely lovely. Get there and try it you won’t regret it.

We went on Sunday for a few drinks and to watch the Rugby which was advertised on their website as showing. The football was on yet they have 3 screens so we asked if he could put the rugby on. His reply was it was “too much hassle”. It is obviously a football pub and they have no intention of playing the rugby. Please do not have false advertising as this has now lost you custom.

I have been here a number of times now on different days during the week and at weekends A very friendly and warm welcoming staff and environment and as a bonus dog friendly too A newish tidy and clean environment (even the loos) Clientele that we have met with will join in conversation where appropriate to do so and are also a pleasure to be in the same place The ales are kept to a high standard with a choice for the more fussy. Food is consistent maintaining a high standard whatever your palette with a varied menu that should suit anyone. One of the signs says “this is a small house with big welcome” fits this place quite well I like this place 👍

Had a really good night here. Dog was cared for with lots of treats and fresh water. Drinks were fantastic and great value for money. Highly recommend.

We had a great special evening with family for my husband's 75th birthday, the food was great and the staff were great especially our waitress, would recommend.

Not the cheapest pub meal with gammon at £12.50 but was very nice and eggs cooked to perfection. Only criticism is chips could have been far better. Will try again at some point.

I wouldn’t bother, booked a table for 10 people for 7:30pm. At 7:40pm the waitress came out and said we had 5 minutes to order as the kitchen closed at 8, why not tell us this when booking a table for 7:30? What if the table wanted desert? Anyway ordered food came fairly quick. But there was a meal missing and all that was said when asked was ‘we’re sorry the kitchen staff have gone ’ that was it. The poor waitress was the only staff on serving taking food and drinks orders. Awful service. Why the hell would someone think it’s acceptable to take a booking for a large table 30 mins before the kitchen closed. Also on arrival although not the pubs fault but the clientele it attracts is poor. There was a group arguing and shouting outside and when seated in the dinning area a glass was thrown at the window. Awful experience!

I don’t know wat the problem is here …. There is one barmaid that has such a bad attitude that stops me going in there …… obviously doesn’t want the custom….. tried 3 time and returned hoping she’s gone … but hasn’t….hang on another 2 years 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Very friendly lovely pub. We all had food that was delicous and very good quality. Backgound music on just the right volume, not too loud. Seperate dining room if you like to dine in a quieter area

Went for a meal with family, have used the birch many times this year but could not believe the size of the adult meals it was like having a kids meal, very poor. The service was good as always restaurant was very clean it was just the size of the meals which was a major concern, would I go again probably not so disappointed. It was not value for money.

Really enjoyed our meals. Freshly cooked and really tasty. Selection of beers was good too. Atmosphere in the pub was relaxed and friendly. We will be going back.

A great pub with a lovely atmosphere. We had the sharing menu with an extra side dish of loaded fries. The portions were good and food was served quickly, was hot and tasty. Customer service was great. We visited on a busy Friday night, there was a great atmosphere, a mixture of ages and everyone seemed really friendly. Will definitely return

A warm welcome, a busy Sunday pub with no tables but the lovely couple who run it squeezed us and even apologised for the table not being great… it was perfect! We had to buy them a drink to say thank you for such fab care and service and food! WOW what a feast!

Can't really fault this pub at all. A friendly welcome as soon as we set foot in the bar. Really smart looking interior. Good beer selection. The children enjoyed their food, especially the chicken nuggets! And my wife and I thought the three sharing dishes we had were superb. Decent play area which kept the children amused, despite the rain, so we could have some peace and quiet, which was much appreciated! We liked it so much we're planning on returning next Sat with the In-laws.

Went for a Sunday dinner with the family and we were very impressed, pub itself is very inviting and the staff are very professional and friendly , the food is amazing and a very generous portion and the deserts were also very moreish We will definitely be visiting again

Last minute need for a decent Sunday lunch and the little gem is exactly what it states… Great local pub with great atmosphere and service and the food for us as a family was fresh, superb value, and just great the Birch Tree Inn certainly has won some new custom from us.

We heard the food was to die for . Went there got drinks sat down looked at menu went to order . And told there was no food on today . If no food on why not take menus of tables and put signs up saying no food ?

It’s our local & often walk the dog and grab a bite to eat . Service is always great and accommodating & good food is an added bonus . The place is done out to a high standard . Diane , made sure for my husband’s birthday we would be looked after and we were . 10/10

Nice clean well looked after pub tucked away off the main road in a predominantly residential area, minimal but adequate parking. Very smart pub with good choice of Beers and a good well thought out menu, albeit we didn’t eat on this occasion. We will return

recommend this pub for food x was the best hunters chicken ive ever had x daughter had steak and was so well cooked and presented x staff friendly and nothing too much trouble x well worth the money x

It’s a shame… the food was good and pub and restaurant looks great but poor, poor customer service. Slow and unhelpful. It is a shame because it has all the right ingredients to be great but I won’t be returning and hope they manage to...

Great food, friendly service and the dog was welcome. This is how a local should be, great service with a welcome feeling. Didn’t feel rushed when ordering and really enjoyed the real ale selection.

Last minute lunch date, this super pub proved to be a hit with myself and my friend today. I'd called in advance and was assured that as we were eating early at lunchtime there was no need to book. Covid advice apparent in the foyer,...

Perfect local near to us! Dog friendly, lovely friendly staff! Everytime we’ve been the foods because amazing and tasty! Beautiful interior. We love it, and the dog loves it there

Had to complain about taste of beer, it was clear but did not taste very good, this was also the opinion of a friend who tried it. Landlord said there was nothing wrong and was told to go to Cornwall if i wanted a better...

My first visit to The Birch Tree for Sunday lunch. Pub and restaurant are immaculate and we all felt very comfortable. Social distancing and sanitising set up very well with very friendly staff and table service. Track and trace also in place. Food was outstanding....

I visited for the first time for many years after a recommendation from a neighbour. I was amazed at the transformation with the pub being modernised tastefully to a high standard and with quality furnishings and fittings. Precautions for Covid were well in evidence and...

The food is Amazing, tasty and reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be eating there again very soon. The Mushroom starter was a very very good choice also. Specials are also available so there’s quite an extensive me use to suit all.

It was my husband's birthday weekend and my son and his family who I haven't seen since March (they live a distance away) visited us. I rang the Birch Tree for a late table because of their late arrival and was kindly offered 5 pm...

fantastic! Always great service, beer and food but today... they surpassed themselves. Was hugely busy and still, to a man/woman, the sevice was great. Thank you.

The Birch reopened last November after a total refurbishment and seemed to become the most sought after pub in the area. Owners Diane and Mark made everyone welcome and the place just got busier and busier. Then shutdown came.Now they are back with their happy, cheerful staff to brighten up our lives. Eaten three times since reopening; twice with friends and a last minute visit on Monday after a weekend away. Twelve meals in total. Complete satisfaction. Tye you make the best Lasagne in the world and your stilton and mushroom sauce with Jon's burger was heaven. Mark, Diane and the team it really is brilliant to have you back and we hope the weather soon brightens up so you can benefit from a garden full of happy customers in that sun trap behind your pub. IT WAS LIKE COMING HOME AND GREAT TO MEET UP WITH FIRNDS OLD AND NEW.

we had a delicious sunday lunch today. you can choose a sunday roast or anything off normal weekday menu. also senior meals available and small pudding and coffee. staff really friendly and welcoming . lovely atmosphere. will definitely be going again.

My husband & I went for the first time tonight ,the food was outstanding, I had a vegan mushroom suet pie & my husband had fish & chips ,both apart from the chips were homemade, I can't praise the food enough, the only problem was, we were in a very nice cosy room,which was obviously trying to be a restaurant away from the busy pub, this would have worked if it wasn't for the loud,unsupervised children,this pub has recently reopened with a new chief, if it wants to attract customers for it's food ,the pub really needs to decide if this room is a cosy restaurant or a childerns play area

Visited last night with family for birthday celebration, 6 adults 6 children. First visit since being taken over by new owners and modernised.We were immediately welcomed by friendly staff who directed us to our table and explained that we could order our food and drink at the bar when we were ready. No rush whatsoever. The new decor, in my mind, was a great improvement and the whole ambience of the place was lovely, friendly and very welcoming.The food was outstanding, everything we ordered was beautifully cooked, well presented and hot. The menu certainly catered for everyone. We had a good night, well looked after by polite friendly and competent staff. We will, in the very near future, be returning to sample even more delights. Thank you to everyone.

We booked a table for food and were greeted by Lara who was extremely pleasant very customer friendly a great asset. The food was amazing lovely laid back atmosphere really nice bar restaurant and who would know we were in Brierley hill with the really shabby chic interior and country style dinning. Loved every minute can’t wait to come again. Louise

Highly recommended this pub. Food amazing and brilliant service. Will definitely be visiting again very soon.

Recently refurbished to a high standard. Brought my mum for her lunchmRun by mark and di who obviously know the game. Food spot on.Drinks were varied and reasonably priced. We had 2 mains and a bottle of malbec for £25.Plus one sunday lunch.All food was spot onDog friendly in bar area, sky tv for footy in bar area and a really nice eating area newly built out back.Highly recommend this place

I visited here with my children and family friends and I can honestly say that this is a little gem of a find, food was amazing and piping hot. The publican Diane and mark are gracious hosts who make you feel right at home, the staff are very well trained and attentive especially after I missed off my daughters meal from the order. I will definitely be visit this pub again.

Been here a couple of times know gave it the benefit of doubt but cant drink the Beer in there anymore it's awful tbh and theres loads complaining too not just me

They have done some nice renovation although there is a lack of seating within the bar area.Food nicely cooked very generous portions some waiting staff need more practice with table service they at times appeared unconfident slightly clumsy but very well mannered.Biggest downfall the dining area by the windows is freezing I sat having my meal with my coat on. the blinds are for décor only so there is nothing to block the draft coming in a single glazed window - it would really improve the atmosphere if it were double glazed or had thermal curtains that can be closed

When I found out what my brother paid for the buffet at my wedding I was to say the least gutted. £450 for what was not just my opinion £50 worth of food and that's being generous. Also the landlord has completely lost all concept of what it is to build customer relationship abrupt and rude also disrespectful to my children. This is not only my opinion this the opinion of of most if not the regulars that use the establishment. Lovely pub very very poorly managed.

Been here many times including my most recent visit last week to visit friends who were in there. Same owner for last twenty years or so but always seems to very welcoming with a nice atmosphere!

I remember this being a great pub, having just paid a visit, I'm afraid to say the place seems to be in decline. The real ales available include Enville, which is popular in this area, unfortunately the pint we had here was pretty poor, we had to swap to a safer mass market lager. The place was relatively lively but quite a lot of loud industrial language would deter most couples from choosing this pub as ideal venue. Shame really as it's in a nice location and still looks OK from outside. Can't comment on any food offerings, as I certainly won't trying them. Dissapointing.
