The Bloxwich Showman in Walsall

Great place for a drink or food. Great prices, can't go wrong.

Once a week me and my mom love visiting the Showman, on certain days it can be busy but we always receive a speedy service. Each week we both order the same meals as previous weeks and sometimes we might fancy extra sides. My mom loves her scampi with chips and peas and she even order's extra peas and chips shop curry sauce. I every week always go for the battered cod with chips, baked beans and as an extra side I like to add some mushy peas and some onion rings. My mom always has a soft drink with her meal but I like to have a nice bottle of Koperberg Strawberry and Lime cider with my meal. As I mentioned previously in my review the Showman does sometimes get extremely busy but the quieter day I would say on a Wednesday just after midday and before two. The Showman was lovely and quite today well at first there was a woman who was sitting about 3-4 tables away on her phone talking to someone on loud speaker and from where I was sitting you could literally hear their conversation word for word. This is the reason why I have given 3 stars for atmosphere and not 4 is because of one rude inconsiderate person having a phone conversation on loud speaker so the whole pub could hear it. After this woman left the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed and quiet.

They have totally removed grill section on menu no steak or gammon

Food was decent. Nice, cheap place to go chill.

Lovely atmosphere! Breakfast served our hangover well

Really great meal & service, Joel in particular went out of his way to make our afternoon perfect. Thank you

Loved this evening. Izzy who had served our table was fabulous, attentive and really friendly. Cannot fault

Standard spoons, want cheap fast quick this is the place to go. Plenty of seating.

Food amazing, good portions, Drinks good. Just found other people to loud but. Outside areas for smoking and non smoking. Toilets clean. Have good time. Maybe just some music needed .

Not a bad weatherspoons however on evenings it can be difficult to get a seat inside.

Waited nearly a hour for breakfast and there was hardly anyone in there not even busy, staff seem very miserable

Service slow, and lady collecting plates and glasses so miserable, we said thanks, didn't even look around and acknowledge our comments.

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

Callum needs a pay rise, he doesn’t stop - excellent member of staff - very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful building however food took 45 minutes and I left after waiting for a mug for the hot drinks machine for 25 minutes. Chicken was dry and cold. Not what was expected for a spoons establishment - disappointed.

Lovely building but ales were terrible as usual, and they closed the upstairs at 9pm to tidy up, moving us downstairs

Good choice of drinks, food usual weatherspoons menu

Brill weather spoons they look after ya👍👍

Excellent place for food and drink

Always have a great evening when I pop into the the Bloxwich showman, I’m often served by Craig (seems like he’s often the only one grafting) he’s a gem who always has time for customers. If that man isn’t a manger make him one! That man deserves a serious pay rise. Always a great atmosphere when I’m in there staff are great and make time for customers. Thank you the Bloxwich showman.

Really nice looking pub. Good atmosphere. Food decent, however, tried to swap mushy peas for coleslaw and told it wasn't allowed. Have been able to do this at other wetherspoons. Biggest issue was lack of hot chocolate with little alternative

Wetherspoons. You always get what you expect to get at fairly reasonable prices

The guy with the blonde comb-over gave me a look of disgust when I asked him if he could clean the dried on ketchup from the table, he didn't clean it, nor did anyone else. Guess he's too good for cleaning tables in spoons. Table 104.

Cold plate = cold food Fried egg was overcooked looked like a joke egg. Asked for more butter for my toast but was refused

A nice friendly little place with a great atmosphere

Food was cold and missing eggs very disappointed not the norm must of been a of day

As Wetherspoons go, this is a good one! Looks impressive from the top level. Only problem is, there's loads of stairs to get to the upper level and no lift. You have to go up them to use the toilets. There's a disabled one downstairs. Food is cheap and cheerful and service is very fast.

Anymore than 4 up the bar and you're standing there like a muppet for 15 minutes. Decided to do table service and then waited again for 17 minutes. It honestly would of been faster going on the bus down to walsall and ordering.

Great wetherspoons, food usually okay, sometimes cold,send it back. Beer and drinks offers good, staff good.

We have been coming here for years, the food has been good but nothing exceptional, but tonight was different, we had standard meals, but it was cooked lovely, to the point where my husband had to go and say thank you to the chef. The people behind the scenes do not get enough praise and thank you. Tonight's food was cooked and delivered with care. Please pass on our thanks to the chef 👏

This is a good weathespoons food is good and nice place

We really like it here, so much better than Walsall spoons.

Loved being in here had a brilliant atmosphere and I was able to enjoy the catch with my friends

The food,whilst hot,Turkey Christmas Dinner,had no gravy put on one of the two dinners purchased,was told £2.00 for a pot of gravy.Seriously£2.00 extra to correct there fsult

17 for dinner with four children on steak night The staff who assisted us were excellent: friendly and informative. The food was good, as expected Calm and relaxed atmosphere

We have been for lunch today for a family birthday we don’t expect a lot a Wetherspoons but usually the staff are lovely and we don’t have high expectations of the food just cheap and cheerful but food was disgusting and service was really poor even after asking for the manager it was still bad £80 for 5 meals and drinks is not that cheap and cheerful req veg cold food prepackaged meat

Just had a drink, typical witherspoon cheap and cheerful

Nice clean place for a drink and eat

Nice big pub friendly staff and good food.

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

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.

Called for Breakfast all items available spot on

Nice place for a cheap drink and bite to eat

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!!

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

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

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

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 👍👍🍺🍺🍺

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

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.

Downstairs coffee machine never works.
