The Bradford Arms, Pleck - Champy in Walsall

Visited yesterday as a group of 9. Great place with a good atmosphere and busy especially for a Wednesday night. Laid out really well with a big selection of beers. Service was nice and quick, food arrived hot and quickly. I have tried better mixed grills but that is not to discredit the work that the guys are doing there. Would like to see fish pakora on the mixed grill rather than 2 lamb chops

**Food Review: An Amazing Mixed Grill Experience** If you're craving a top-notch mixed grill experience, look no further. This place serves up some of the best grilled meats you'll find, with flavors that linger long after your meal. The highlight of the meal? The *Krispy Wings*. These wings are a revelation—perfectly crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside. The seasoning is spot-on, a blend of spices that hits all the right notes, making each bite irresistible. The mixed grill platter is a symphony of expertly cooked meats, each offering something unique. The kebabs are smoky and full of flavor, while the lamb chops are succulent, with just the right char. The portion sizes are generous, so you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. Each item is grilled to perfection, with that distinctive, mouthwatering smokiness. Sides complement the meal perfectly, from the light and refreshing salads to the rich and creamy dips. The service is friendly and attentive, ensuring your meal is as enjoyable as the food itself. Overall, this place is a must-visit for grill lovers, especially for those *Krispy Wings*—they alone are worth the trip!

If you like british Indian food, this is the place for you. Dont expect original Indian taste otherwise you will be disappointed like me. There are Original Indian restaurants in & around Birmingham. Down sides: they done take bookings, noisy pub, main course, they add spinach or something like that green leaves to butter chicken which is the worst butter chicken i had ever had in my life (atleast its never done that way in India, I assume it might be the case in nepal as owner say its Indian & nepalese cuisine) Good side: chicken lolipop, good price, open till late, grill, paneer tikka, big parking space, big sitting area

This place is a regular visit for us. Best grill around.

Best Panjabi munch around! Mixed grills are the business!

I absolutely love going to eat here. The food and drinks are delicious. The food is great. You got to eat here. I highly recommend this restaurant and location.

Always a Fantastic place for a Mixed Grill any time of the day and the quality is always consistent and never drops

Great place for a grill. Always busy which is a sign how good this place is. Great selection of beers. 2 large grills 2 chips 2 naans ...£50... 2 beers 2 large cokes £16

Been coming here many times and have had good service but recently service level has dropped and food is not so tasty, not sure if they have a new chef.

Great Desi Pub, fantastic value, huge succulent mixed grill plates, cheap pints, ample parking

Great food very busy but good service

It took one hour and a half hours before we got our starters on Friday 16th

Food was great, definitely going back, friendly staff made us welcome

Perfect from start to finish. . Staff was very welcoming, especially the young guy behind the bar. Thank you. 5***** We will be back food was lovely & served hot I returned was just as good. Thank you for always making us feel welcome, We will be back !! Returned lots of times ..out if all the desi places far & wide this place is the best by far ..just my opinion 5 ***** every time

What a gem if a place, It's a lovely big pub, albeit busy pub, food is great and staff really nice and friendly too. There's also a massive car park for all the drink drivers. If I lived closer, I'd defo come more often.

Excellent mix grill and great beers on tap big screens for football will return

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Best Indian food I have ever tried and very good value for money. Food was so tasty. Wo would recommend the meat mixed grill.

Place was very busy, so its clearly very popular. We managed to get a table of 4 after about 15 minutes with no booking which was a bonus. Then server took about 10 minutes to take our orders. Mixed Grill - Sheesh Kebab was nice and had a nice kick to it. Masala Fries - was nice, just portion size wasnt the biggest and leaves you wanting more. Food was brilliant and tasty! The staff was very quick at cleaning down and turning the tables which is impressive. Would happily return.

Great mixed grill food and good service

food was really good service was a bit slow

Good place to visit for a drink, although the prices are abit steep

Food was tasteless no flavor full off oil. Saag was brown we ordered alloo gobi full off oil. Raita was pink. The only thing was good maybe the chips and naan. Was looking forward as was my birthday meal. Would never come here again. Was hyped up but very disappointed. Also 1st time visited we had to look to get out plates no one told us we had to collect the plates and cutlery ourselves.

Very disappointing, poor service, food cold when finally arrived.

Been going there for many years..and certainly not one to moan.. but we'll not be going again our last time unfortunately..don't mind paying and certainly not about money at all,but inflated prices with these smaller curry portions in "little bowls" that they think people haven't noticed..now just a con now go elsewhere.

Simply Class 4 people 4 dishes, goat curry incredible best ever sampled as pal ordered it not me, chicken madras, biryani & buttered by rest of group and every last bit eaten barring the madras which was mine.

Visited the mixed grill eatery recently and had a good experience overall. The mixed grill (large) is generous, which is fantastic value for money but I’m sure this is par. The outdoor area has been fully revamped, offering plenty of seating and even outdoor table service, which includes payment options to pay for your meal ahead of time. One odd aspect was that we had to get our own plates and cutlery from inside, which felt a bit long-winded and inconvenient. The food, however, was good—I’d rate it 4.5/5, so I’ll round up. A slight downside was the cleanliness in the outdoor wooden seating area. There were quite a few disposable vapes and cutlery that had fallen through the gaps and had not been cleaned up. Despite these minor issues, it’s a good spot and definitely worth checking out!

I visited here today after many years and wow it has changed,There’s a massive car park now lots of extra seating indoors and outside. The mixed group was amazing, just like it used to be. I loved the crispy wings. the curries were delicious and a nan breads were nice and soft. I will definitely be visiting again.

Food was really good. I went for the more traditional curry with the chicken on the bone. It was really good. My first time visiting so not sure if it’s normal, but I didn’t get a plate or any cutlery. Just ate it in the bowls it was served in. I did notice on the way out there was a station with some plates and cutlery so maybe you have to get your own. Not a massive problem for me, but can see other people complaining about that.

Food can't be faulted and the atmosphere is loud and lively, I know its an acquired taste, I've given them a 4 for service because there wasn't much effort from the team to give that personal touch it was all business again that's exactly what they need to be like it's just I myself can be a little to nit picky sometimes

Been there on 7th July2024 sunday disgusting service and unbelievable atmosphere on the top food table surface hygiene 0% Please don’t take your children in Shampy restaurants in Walsall Pleck

Delicious food and friendly service. Always a good time.

Great food amazing staff well worth a visit

came on a Saturday night, waited 20 minutes to be seated, waited 20 minutes for our order to be taken, then waited 50 minutes for the food to arrive, the food was great and tasty and very affordable, but it’s best to come on a weekday when it’s quiet

Great food, and a good bar. Outside seating if needed. The grill is the winner

Food is nice but portions have become smaller and smaller over the years. Their large grills are medium sized in most other grill places. Their main meals are really small. No free salad but there is no option to order on the menu. Not value for money compared to other grills in the Midlands. I did like their nans and the staff are friendly.

Lovely food, good drinks prices

More of a pub than a traditional restaurant. Go in find a seat and order. But the food was glorious. Absolutely lovely. This was my first visit but won't be the last.

I was definitely let down today after having heard such good reviews of this place. Today we visited Champy’s for dinner and ordered a medium mixed grill and butter chicken. The mixed grill was underwhelming. The chicken wings still had fatty skin, the lamb chops were unbelievably overcooked and the size was below average. The butter chicken was ok. Different than a standard butter chicken as stated on the menu, but, I think it was even further away from resembling a butter chicken than topping it. The server had no patience. She was very fast paced. Good for some situations but not when with a small child who needs time to make on the spot decisions. Overall I’d like to hope that today was a one off.

Can never get in the place always rammed and to long to wait

Very nice food, would come again

Proper decent Indian cuisine. Straight forward no fuss atmosphere.

Been here a few times in the last couple of years and the food has been good each time. The service is usually also good. Parking can be hard sometimes but if the car park is full there us nearby street parking for free.

Great place for a meal, food was fresh and tasted amazing. Service from the female waitresses was poor, but everything else including the overall atmosphere was outstanding.

Food was awful - ordered butter chicken & garlic naan - but the butter chicken was very runny with very little pieces of chicken . If you do decide for some reason to come here avoid the butter chicken .

Never fails to disappoint. One of the best Mixed Grills money can buy. Also great for the football with a giant screen.

The grill is always spot on. The curries are hit and miss like the service. Beer is always bang on and the spirit selection is top notch.

I was recommended by a friend and was unsure whether to attend because I don't know the place, but on one Saturday night I decided to attend. When I first decided to walk in I thought the place was extremely impressive and quite a large venue. I went to the bar and didn't think that I was going to he able to get a table. I was seated within 15 minutes and once I ordered the food came promptly and extravagantly, I was served by Muskaan, Atif, Shauna And Divesh. All of these people were extremely pleasant and if I asked for anything they obliged. I would recommend to ANYBODY that loves with type of cuisine, the food was exemplary. I will be here again.

Hi me & my mrs went to champy's in Walsall for an evening meal it was not busy inside I had the champy's special chicken & mrs had butter chicken we orderedv2 nans with it When the food arrive to our table no presentation just in a basic steel bowl the portion size I was shocked by 🫣😡 what happened ???? To the rest off it how come these place the portion are getting smaller there must have been 3 peice of small chicken & little sauce in it & they charge u nearly £10 a dish total rip off not coming back here

Great service, excellent bar and drinks choices, nice wide open dining area. I've been to a lot of these mixed grill/curry places and the food here was average.

Very nice food, will visit again

Bradford Arms has been a staple in the community for many years, offering a variety of Punjabi mixed grill dishes. However, despite its longevity, it might not be the right fit for everyone, including myself. One of the main issues I have with Bradford Arms is their heavy handed use of garam masala in their curries. This overpowering spice blend can dominate the flavors, leaving the dishes lacking in balance. While their focus on grills might be appealing to some, the curries just don't meet the mark for me. They often feel like an afterthought, overshadowed by the restaurant's emphasis on grilled items. Service at Bradford Arms is acceptable, the staff are generally courteous and efficient. However, this alone isn't enough to bring me back. The parking situation is another major drawback. Finding a spot can be a nightmare, and this inconvenience only adds to the reasons why I no longer visit this establishment. In conclusion, while Bradford Arms may have its loyal customers who enjoy the flavors and mixed grill offerings, it's not a place I recommend if you're looking for well balanced curries or an easy dining experience. If garam masala heavy dishes and challenging parking don't bother you, it might be worth a visit. Otherwise, there are plenty of other options to explore.

Tasty food, great service, buzzing atmosphere. If you want it quite, suggest an early visit 😉

Lively atmosphere and background music with obviously great food!!!

The experience was fantastic. The mixed grill was beautiful and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, with helpful and swift staff. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend trying the mixed grill.

Best Desi in the midlands and we have tried quite a few, Tamworth, hampton in arden, hockley this beats them all. Fresh cooked lovely flavours, not food colored like some, really tasty food, great service and staff. A balti sauce option would be nice though for us brummie s? I had a lovely madras yesterday but was a bit spicy for my husband. Mixed grill is the best we have ever tried, fish pakora is amazing! Will be back soon!

Had food poisoning for a week somehow…

Unbelievable food. Don’t go for a relaxing night in a bar. Go for brilliant and reasonably priced food and you won’t regret it

Saturday afternoon, premiership on Tv's equal mix of male and female customers enjoying very good Indian food in a very relaxed atmosphere. If you have considered going, then do it. You will not be disappointed.

“For the past three years, my husband and I have been regular visitors to this place, always pleased with the service and food quality. However, during our second visit after a two-month gap, we encountered the same issues as before: poor food quality and slow service. We ordered soya chaap and fish pakora for starters, but they forgot one of the dishes. When reminded, they brought out five small pieces of soya and seven pieces of fish, which was disappointing. The main course also took 45 minutes to arrive. I’m hesitant to recommend this place anymore, as this experience was quite a letdown. This is the first time I’ve ever written a negative review due to such disappointing changes.”

The foods amazing the staff are very friendly and helpful would definitely recommend this place to anyone we had the large champys mixed grill 🔥😋👌

Love what more can i say best curry around

The beer, the food was out of this world 🌎

Dishes have become small and the naans are tasteless.. quite disappointed. Haven't been there for a while but probably won't be going back as its not value for money

Absolutely delicious every single time

Food came out and was only just warm. Theyë Staff wasnt rude but could have been a bit more friendly. Taste of food was lovley though.

Fantastic meal, very tasty and didn't have to wait to long for a table even though it was was busy. Staff were friendly and helpful to

Food is so good, especially mutton Nalli gravy is very nice. Must try is the Grill Plenty of onsite parking 🅿️ available aswell.

Consistently good over the years Always busy so guaranteed freshness and quality Good range of beers 10/10

Mixed grill was huge. Crispy chicken was my personal favourite. Lamb Madras was the best I've had. Deffo going back.

Glasses and plates were smelling.

Visited with friends. Waited well over 30 mins for the food. The portions were that of a starter for a main meal. The butter chicken was full of coriander and no flavour. There was no authentic taste in any of the food. Left feeling hungry.

Honestly.. I don't leave reviews. But this place was amazing. The mixed grill was perfect, football on the big screens and only 2min wait for a pint. The place looked busy, but it didn't feel it. Great job guys. We will be returning. 10/10

First time visit with friends. Very busy pub with lots of parking on-site. Good variety of drinks served and pulls a very good pint of Guinness. Very disappointed with the food. It wasn't a big order. Two Curries, large mixed grill, masala fries, 4 Roti and 2 naans. Waited over 30mins for food. The food was quite salty on all the dishes excluding the Naans and Rotis Buttered Chicken and Fries were on the small side From the reviews I've read and photos seen. There's nothing positive I can say about it. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

What a great find, lovely food and drink served up by a great team. The venue is fantastic and deceptively big like a Tardis and a very big car park

Travel over an hour each way to come here, amazing food and atmosphere!

Fantastic, the world needs more of this as this is a great concept, no booking, had to wait for a table but it was really worth the wait, it was delicious and will definitely return

Bit disappointed tbh, they listed an option as vegan, I asked the waiter 3 times if it was definitely vegan and when it came out I just knew it had cream in.. Finally got a member of staff to confirm it wasnt vegan and told it could never be made vegan. Wasn't offered anything in apology was just made a different meal I didn't want 🙄 I appreciate mistake can happen but also.. allergies should be taken seriously and mislabels can be so harmful. Won't be going back, I might have if the staff handled it better but noone seemed to know what they were doing.

The food and service were great it was just that the people on the next table were too loud

Large carpark with wheelchair assessable entrance . Very clean and tidy . Large food and drinks menu . It has a nice relaxing atmosphere inside and your made to feel very welcome. The food all came out together for ten of us and was well presented. The food itself was very tasty and large portions and hot . We had a great night in here and will visit more often. There are large TV's all around as well if your into your sports

Amazing food, some new dishes, like soya taka taka that was delicious, very good value!

1st visit and definitely will not be my last. Excellent food and quick service. Drinks all at a reasonable cost. Cheers 🍷 thanks 🙂

The menu was okay not quite what I expected, the "normal" dishes which can be requested are still very spicy service can be slow and very crowded, hard go get attention for the bill

Used to be good with plenty of options but gone downhill after a year. No flavour and no spice, so bland. And the kids meal had an awful lot of red food coloring which isn't good for kids in any way shape or form. Left a lot of food, not worth the money.

Can never fault the place, everytime iv been there its been spot on! great food & friendly staff loved the pina colada mocktails now that I'm off alcohol 👌

Absolutely fantastic food for really good price

Good food and lively atmosphere.

Customer service great! But pick up your own plates and cutlery. Food service poor. Part of meal served and waited for the rest.

Been here quite a few times and food has always been great, generous sized portions and well cooked. Cocktails are good and a large selection of beers and ciders

As this is a walk in Grill it takes time to get a table. You have to queue but good food and atmosphere.

One of the best restaurants around Birmingham.

Absolutely fantastic place to eat great chefs , drink n chill great atmosphere staff are so friendly and yes you have to wait up to an hour but my damn it's worth it thanks all at champys keep up the great work

A great place to eat,had a £20 meat feast grill,to share with my wife,,omg amazing,had it with a garlic nan chips and a curry sauce,which is extra but worth it,will be returning soon

Wasn't any menus on the table when we arrived. So had to ask for one, then the process was clear as stated on the menu. Other than that tiny fact, everything was to die for. I tried the "wings of fire" I could only handle one they were definitely, hot! 😂

Amazing food, good price, great sharing platters. Good for couples, friends and families.

Overpriced Alcohol considering the level of service. On a Wednesday evening we were served not even warm mixgrill (definitely not from the Tandoor). Cobra beer was off wheb complained I was told it must be the glass so left the nearly full pint to the tall gentleman. Definitely not returning.

I have to say I wouldn’t return here due to the long wait times, We had a table booked for 7pm for 8 people. We were not seated at a table until 8:35pm It was a real shame the party was extremely hungry and I my self suffer with low blood pressure so standing around in the same position for such an extended period of time was making me feel ill. Once seated we asked 3 times to put our order in, our order was finally taken at 9pm with food arriving at 9:30pm Staff were apologetic, however they should not be taking on bookings that they can not accommodate and fulfil. If we had been just two people I would’ve left, however we were part of a larger party. Wouldn’t return here Food was nice service and wait was a let down Mocktails were really nice and very reasonably priced at £4 each. Food was very reasonably priced also

Been a customer at champys for over ten years. We love the food . Its the best indian grill in our opinion.. their crispy wings are the best.. but with all the years we have been coming here, today service was terrible our garlic nan came and they looked under cooked. I asked one of the staff members to take the garlic nan back . After over 15mins of waiting i went back to the kitchen to ask about the garlic nan and they gave me back the same nan that i sent back. At this point i was a little annoyed. I appreciate they are busy. its just shows no one was listening and didn't care . I went back to the kitchen. They apologised and finally got a fully cooked nan. Lucky that we are giving a three star today..

I used to really enjoy Champys. But now prices have increased significantly but the portions are getting smaller. Not happy

Great food and drinks selection.. Interior is lovely decorated Slight wait on food but was very busy and food arrived hot and fresh

Food is really good, I would highly recommend the crispy wings and the goat curry. Atmosphere is nice too, can get very busy though.
