The Bloxwich Showman in Walsall

Good choice of wines and beers. Food and service not as good these days .

Nice big pub friendly staff and good food.

I came here for a birthday meal, and unfortunately, it was completely ruined. I usually enjoy dining here, but this time was a massive letdown. I decided to try the new Christmas menu item, The Big Cheese Burger, and added bacon and extra onion rings. When the burger arrived, it was covered in freezing cold brie and stone-cold bacon. By the time I got to the burger itself, it was already cold too. When staff came over to ask how the meal was, I gave them a brutally honest response. Their explanation? They said they couldn’t melt the cheese or cook the bacon properly—they could only microwave it. That’s absolutely unacceptable. If I wanted a microwave meal, I’d have gone to Tesco. The staff offered to prepare a new meal, but they admitted it would be made the same way, and we didn’t have the time to wait for it anyway. So, my options were to eat a meal I wasn’t happy with or go hungry. I chose the latter—I’d rather go hungry than pay £15 for what felt like a poor excuse of a Christmas menu item, let alone a birthday meal. On top of that, the staff gave generic, scripted responses to my complaints, completely ignoring what I was actually saying. It felt like they weren’t interested in understanding or addressing the issue. All they could do was suggest I complain to head office, but we all know how little usually comes of that. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

Nice place for a cheap drink and bite to eat

Called for Breakfast all items available spot on

Food and drink and staff are always amazing 👏

Come to spoons about 2-3 a month for food & the coffee however the past few weeks the food has been over cooked and tough & the drinks machine has been broken creating the most watery drinks , such a shame I don’t know what’s changed

Friendly. Well cooked food. Great price

One of the more decent spoons in the area nice outdoors bit aswell as been 2 floors

This was a great pub for dinner, with a large two-floor theatre setting! The walls are smoothly styled and the lighting gives off heavy brightness, counter is well-presented too. I had the signature wrap with chips, although the cutlery was a bit dirty as you can see. Food was nice enough though and my pint of Leffe's was solid, plenty of seating available as well.

Great "spoons" situated on 2 floors. Good selection of beers ,nice friendly staff!!

Beer festival waste of time ales poorly kept .disabled toilet stinks of urine door not shut poor people eating had to move .needs to be kept locked available to disabled only

We've always been happy when visiting bloxwich Wetherspoons, unfortunately we were very disappointed with the food & service, the food we received was almost cold... also the cutlery was still soiled even though it had been washed & the table was dirty, there was quite a few tables that needed attention, we didnt enjoy our visit at all

My daughter and her friends went tonight, the staff were disrespectful and miserable. They said they felt like they were being watched the whole time due to an individual staff member who didn’t have a clue what she was doing. A group of 18/19 year olds got asked to leave because one person didn’t have ID. My daughter and her friends will not be returning again. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t want to feel uncomfortable.

Met with friends for a drink and it was lovely.

Nice pint good food but a bit to full for me

If I could give zero stars I would bad atmosphere in there food was horrible staff were miserable won't visit again not the safest area either

Vegetarian breakfast . How can you screw up frying an egg not once but twice resulting what looks like the plastic rubber eggs you find in a childs toy kitchen. Would of delivered the feedback personally should anyone of bothered to do do a check back. Photos are of how food was served I hadn't touched them

I moved away from Bloxwich over a decade ago. The 400 mile journey to come back is a slog. Our nights in The Showman always makes it well worth it. The atmosphere is great. The service through the app is great. The only thing that loses it the 5* for me is the tables are regularly quite sticky. Not a deal breaker and they're always wiped over if you ask without issue. The food here is typical 'spoons which is nothing to moan about! Never had a bad meal here. Portion sizes I suppose depend on who is on in the kitchen. This is Wetherspoons not a Michelin tyres rated restaurant. You get what you pay for and I'm more than happy to pay for the food and drinks here! Staff are always really friendly. I look forward to coming back!

Great place, great price, great staff

Great food and drink, service was quick and friendly. Beautiful building too.

The food was well cooked and presented though one of our party said her peas were cold. The service was a little slow but the premises were busy and there seemed to be a shortage of staff. The premises were very pleasant and there was a nice friendly vibe. The staff were very pleasant and overall it was a good experience

Staff were very pleasant,quick service,and everything was neat and very clean.

Main road 'spoons, was exactly what we expected. Will go again

Very good service and the food was excellent

Food was very hot and tasted lovely. Although the waitress was not rude she seemed to lack social skills. Otherwise all was great.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Pleasant and polite staff and lovely food.

Was dead when I went on a Friday night but it's friendly enough

My fiancé and I come here every date night whilst my mum has our baby. There’s more vegan options here than I expected and I’m thankful for that. The food is lush and the drinks are great!!

Had a work reunion here on Saturday and it was great service as always

Me & my hubby went to the Showman today Our 1st visit to Wetherspoons pub in Bloxwich It was easy for us to get to on bus.326 outside our house to high street in Bloxwich We both enjoyed our tasty meals & drink. I had jacket potato with chilli butter & grated cheese on top with side salad Freshest salad ever had in a Wetherspoons pub My hubby had his favourite meal he always has in Wetherspoons pub wherever we go Local or on holiday in U.K. We do miss the Malt House at Willenhall shame it was closed He always has the all day brunch I only drink blackcurrant squash He has a pint Carlsberg Lager The 2 ladies waitress & barmaid when served at bar we’re both pleasant helpful & friendly We will visit again

Best Worthington beer I have had from any wetherspoon pub

Went Sunday 7.7 2024 for a treat had breakfast there what a let down freezing cold very cheap ingredients coffee machine wouldn't work and to had to the worst breakfast we have ever had it was 15 pounds daylight robbery..never again

Family pub. Friendly staff great atmosphere. And great selection of beers wines spirits. And delicious food. All you really need

Came on 13/06/24 ordered 2 brownies they were unavailable and told we would have a refund but never had one. However decided to come again on 01/07/2024 sat on table 55 ordered all day brunch, sausage chips and beans and cheesy garlic pizza. The egg was ridiculously under cooked, the beans were cold, the one meal was missing a sausage to which the chef grumbled and moaned about when asked for an extra one, which took ages to come I had already finished eating when it arrived and it was also cold and the garlic pizza was an inedible greasy rubbery mess! We would of raised these issues with the manager and/or anyone who did our check back but we couldn’t as we watched the manager clear our check back off the screen and not bother to come over at all, we then sat a further 30 minutes while writing this review and finishing drinks without the table being cleared. Both myself and other half work in the same business for another company and wouldn’t dream of sending out food the way we received it or giving the shocking service we received! I used to work at the showman many years ago and cannot believe how much it has gone downhill!

Went with friends had a couple of drinks, a very friendly atmosphere

Very poor standards staff disrespectful toilet show signs of drug use

The Bloxwich Showman was big and spacious with a good beer garden area at the side of the building

the dinners are delicious but the breakfast was a big let down no Tetley or PG & what is plant base milk?

First time here, one of the better spoons 👍👍🍺🍺🍺

Nice place, have visited numerous times, good food,and usual cheap wetherspoons prices, but normally food cold, left standing for 10 mins or more on most occasions, before you get it!!!!!😞😞😞 Visited again today 7th Aug, breakfasts were stone cold and had to be sent back, muffins were luke warm,if we had wanted cold meals we would have ordered a salad !!! Staff seriously need some sort of training !!! 😞😞😞😞😞 Been today for breakfast, good food,and Hot, well done 😄😄😄 Been today 16th April, ordered 6 meals, all good and hot, seems like someone has been reading the reviews, and has taken note. Well done keep it up 😀😀😀😀been tonight food red hot, plates red hot, very good 😄😄😄😄😄

It's a Spoons they're all good !!.

Grown men having a go at young girls threatening to hit them and the staff kick the girls out who were trying to have a nice evening and let the men stay I was honestly shocked

Great value, friendly, efficient service and a nice atmosphere.

The staff are pleasant, and the atmosphere is generally good. The food, however, isn't consistent, and I'm guessing that's to do with who's in the kitchen at the time. And I kind of wish the disabled toilet and baby change was used for what it says. Everyone uses it, and the smell some days is overwhelming. The door remains open, and the smell travels to where people are eating. The seating could also do with a clean in the boothes. They are stained and soiled, and it's a little off-putting.

Love it for a drink and good food. The new manager is useless 😒 he doesn't come out from behind the bar and isn't at all friendly. Whenever there's any trouble he still stays behind the bar, what more can I say.

Excellent food and service. Friendly staff and the price is good too. Will be visiting again in the future.

Grata service, great food, great prices. What more could you ask for.

Nice clean and tidy Wetherspoons , would recommend.

Typical Spoons not much else to say.

Only go in because it reminds me of flix..👍🏻😁🍺🍺🍺🍺

Went for breakfast.was lovely and hot also get toast and there is choose if sauces Meal was delicious and good quality food for price

Very nice for a spoons! Lovely interior, nice staff!

Friendly staff and great food! It was a pleasurable experience for us. The pizza was nice and the the gentleman who bought over our drinks was extremely friendly.

Popped in for a pint & bite to eat can't fault the place

The food is not great here, but some friendly staff & nice place to sit and relax.

Food not presented that well ..service is fine...atmosphere fine...to be honest its just a place to have your first drink of the night out

Very tasty and fresh bread. I advise everyone to use the services.

We spent a couple of hours having nice drinks and chatting on the first floor mezzanine, people watching is a very underrated pastime but we love it. First time here for day drinking but will definitely be back , great day spent in a nice location.

I see one thing in this place people so nice good service good & nice drinks I love this place

Meet with family for breakfast ok for spoons

Very nice pub and probably one of the better wetherspoons

Downstairs coffee machine never works.

They still avnt sorted out the coffee machine downstairs. It's been out of order since NOVEMBER. It's a nightmare carrying drinks down those stairs.

Im 80 years old and have to walk up stairs for the coffee machine as the one down stairs hasn't worked for months.

Downstairs coffee machine has been broken since at least December last year meaning to get a drink you have to keep going upstairs. Not a problem for most but I had to carry 3 full cups down with no free hand to hold the rail as they wouldn't fetch my disabled grandparents drinks for them as they were with me. Poor service and with the money they make surely this machine shouldn't still be out of order after 3 months

Went today to order food and coffee. Was told that the only coffee machine working was upstairs. As I was using crutches following a recent operation I could not use the stairs so I explained this at bar but the response I got was 'can you get someone to fetch it for you '. No offer was made to get it for me. So I politely said just forget it and left. Terrible service.

Where to begin, we parked next door on the Asda, the restaurant isn’t a great place to enter we had to walk through 3 people smoking on the steps ! We found a seat and sat down. The menu is good they have great variety. We are 3 adults including a vegan a vegetarian and a fussy teenager. The ordering process was ok you went to the bar and the food came very quick. The food was hot and tasty. HOWEVER their was a negative and that was the customer service their was one member of staff( they wouldn’t share her name) who was horrendous, 15 minutes after ordering she approached our table and said “your card didn’t go through you’ve got to come and try again” no apology no manners just blunt and rude ! Next she came over and wanted to see my daughter’s ID for her drink, once again rude and intrusive. Once we had finished our meal we called the manageress over we explained what had gone on and she knew instantly who we were talking about, she said lots of people complain about her staffs attitude 😡😡😡😡😡 We left shortly after being told if we wanted to complain we could email head office !!

Basic food Basic staff and no atmosphere

Average Wetherspoons, not brilliant, not bad.

Popped in for a quick one, the place was busy and lively, we were served very quickly and the beer and new line of wine which was on tap was excellent, will be going there again soon

Came here mid week, for the price we couldn’t complain. Been a few times and tried a couple of different meals. All the old fossils giving this place a 1 star need a reality check. Where can you go these days and have a meal for two with drinks for under £25? No where. The app helps with not having to interact with staff, just want to come in, eat and leave. Good value for money, warm, comfortable and convenient.

lovely local wetherspoons doing what they do best

Had to go up-for coffee as machine Still not working downstairs.

It's a weatherspoons so you know the food is what it is. Cheap but passable. The pizza is not bad actually. I like this pub. Staff always friendly and helpful. Service is good. Clean and nice looking weatherspoons

We went in for breakfast after work. We have always had not a great experience with the breakfasts as they are nearly always cold or luke warm. Today we order a breakfast and smashed Avocado muffin with a side of poached egg. Needless to say they came out again and not great at all. The breakfast was warm if you ate it as quick as you could. My muffin was cold as well was the egg. Both served on cold plates. A member of staff didn't come out to ask if everything was ok like they normally do. We gave our feedback at the end when the plates were collected. I expect plates to be at least slightly warm but these were cold yet again. Sadly another bad experience of a breakfast. We thought we would give them a try to see if it had got better but sadly no. Also my smashed Avocado muffin was not in the least attractive to the eye.

I didn't like the way the chef picked up the food with his hands then wipe them on his apron

Very miserable tables, staff doesn't know what they have in the menu

Came here 5 months ago the food was terrible I said never again but we whent today 5.30. Had to ask for my drinks (ordered them on my phone) with food. I had fish and chips was meant to come with peas no peas. Fish was warm in the middle tail end cold. Chips were just warm. Not worth the money. Got asked if my food was ok before i even tryed it. Sons burger looked like it was thro together chips again warm. No worth the money at all. We definitely won't be going back. I carnt even rate this place. You surpose to enjoy your meal.

Wetherspoons quality but friendly staff and good amount of room. Family and group friendly.

Tables dirty, coffee machine not working downstairs,service slow

It is what it is, the food standard has reduced.

The people of bloxwich should be very concerned that the new manager Andy from Aldridge, he is a compulsive liar and bans friendly pensioners who woke left wing bar staff get offended by! I hope the great people of bloxwich treat this disgraceful imbecile with distaste he deserves! A compulsive liar who hasn’t got the balls to actually throw out people who deserve to be thrown out shows he’s nothing but a coward People of bloxwich don’t give this pub your money, this clown will ban all the regulars

It's not bad for a quick bite with the kids,

Pleasant staff, food delivered to the table quickly even on a busy Saturday lunchtime .

Sitting enjoying and cup of coffee. While hearing the staff swear and moan about customers coming in. These are customers who are out enjoying their free time, while spending their hard earned money.

Decontamination size pub with a nice beer garden for the summer evenings,. Service is a little of especially when you get 1 or 2 ppl serving and one of those is delivering drinks to tables.. Food is ok for microwave food depending on what you order.

As far as spoons goes this is one of th better ones in the area. Lots of seating with an additional outdoor area and upper floor areas as well as good disability access. Food and drinks offerings are the same as any spoons but the draught quality of the beer is good. Not much to complain about ! It's quintessential spoons !

Nice and friendly pub, cheap beer and food

Lovely Weatherspoons. I only visited for drink but plan to take the family for a meal

Didn't stick to carpet, well done 👏

Had a lovely afternoon with family , staff very friendly and customers friendly too .

Looks a nice place but the food is not good value or quality and the alchohol is expensive.

Just stopped by there on a rainy day. Nice pub and famous for the locals. Had a cuppa and took some rest to continue my drive.

Good value. Steak wasnt very good tonight 😔

been in there today all i seen was people sending food back it was cold think really need to step up and make sure peoples food is hot not warm but hot i seen aleast 8 plates took back mainly breakfasts i did hear 1 lady say bean were stone cold need to get it sorted or lose lot of custom

Nice and clean. Food was good too but steak was a little on the dry side.

A little hit and miss with the food quality, atmosphere is always good though

Like most wetherspoons understaffed and dirty table sticky food on the floor, menus dirty and stained not a good sign gives you an idea of overall cleanliness. No hand soap in toilets how do staff wash hands correctly?? Had a soft drink and decided not to risk eating.

Great atmosphere and food was lovely and fast friendly service
