The Dartmouth Arms in South Staffordshire

Really enjoyed my sea bass and cheesecake. Good value for money. Service with a smile. Pleasant company 🙂

Horrendous, would never go back. Meat was a tiny slither of beer that had been cooking all week, no mint sauce ordered extra roast potatos that didn't come and said I want more beef that come after we had finished the meal, staff were rude and had to fight the flies of my food. Terrible experience

Just had a fantastic meal at the Dartmouth. Welcoming staff and an excellent new chef with a new special board that tempted me. 5/5 highly recommended

My wife and I met in this pub nearly 40 years ago, so we’re looking forward to the visit. Sadly, however, it was a disastrous Sunday lunch. The whitebait starter was nice but expected it to come on a plate with perhaps some nice salad garnish, rather than just in a bowl. To follow, I ordered the 3-roast lunch and my wife ordered the roast turkey. Mine arrived with just turkey, no pork or beef and my wife’s was missing the chipolata sausages. Although the staff were very apologetic and went to get the missing items, we found the rest of the food to be lukewarm at best, very thin gravy and what should have been roast potatoes were actually baby potatoes which had been baked. Again the staff were very apologetic but we decided to leave. Apparently the chef was new so we’d like to give it another go sometime.

Visited with friends on a Friday night. Early on the place was full of drinkers and a few people waiting for takeaway pizza, we were the only ones eating in. Both the food and the beer were excellent and would get full marks anywhere. The landlady and barmaid were more interested in chatting to customers in the bar or going out for a cigarette than serving and the place just looked tired. I appreciate that this is a country pub and the they seem to do a good service for locals with excellent beer and a takeaway pizza, and the chef has a real talent. However, the place needs an injection of money to tidy it up and the staff need an injection of enthusiasm.

Ordered three Shandies, and the barmaid didn't know what a shandy was. Started to pour lemonade for the first one then run out of lemonade. There was none down the cellar. Oh dear, had to have something else.

Beer is out of this world Cristal clear amazing

This place is a hidden gem ! Went with my friend for Sunday lunch the food was beautiful , staff were friendly and the interior is so cosy. Will definitely return.

Beautiful food in beautiful surroundings. They didn't have a kids menu but accommodated by allowing them to share. Polite staff, great Sunday dinner and a lovely roaring fire. Just what we needed after a long chilly walk.

Usually good food up until a month ago. Two repeated events of poor cold food. Several weeks ago freezing cold sub standard food, surf and turf, told usual chef not in, gave them the benefit of the doubt as we like the venue, paid bill in full, ignored it. Just revisited, ordered two Chateaubriand for 4 persons, they had none in stock, so then they offered fillet instead. Came freezing cold, sliced into cold strip steak for some crazy reason like you'd put it in a wrap or something, utter rubbish, it was like cold rump not fillet worth £110. Asked to speak to owner or get owner to call me. Kirsty waitress really rude, refused to take number and denied the food was cold, apparently mediocre cold food is okay. Really rude, substandard food. This place has gone down hill, certainly the food and staff don't match the nice venue. If you like substandard food and rude staff look no further! Well done Kirsty, great service. Walked out, didn't eat it. Seriously, credit where it's due, used to be good food decent atmosphere, now though, two bad meals and now rude staff. What a shame. Owner: Kirsty refused to take my number, you interested in responding or talking to me? I like your venue but you are taking a bad turn, two bad meals and rude staff refusing to test food for themselves or touch the food for temperature, and denying there was cold food, seriously? Chef refused to accept it was cold and waitress passing on equally rude behavioural approach. Accept your food has gone mediocre pub at best, certainly not restaurant standard, get a new chef and some nice polite staff with decent customer service. Only then will we return for food. I fear I waste my breath here?

First time visiting the Dartmouth arms, nice looking traditional countryside pub. Good/Decent pint of Madri served. Friendly staff. Good traditional Sunday dinners served and plates were cleared in good time. Considering I had just come off a night shift and normally abit grumpy, it was a very welcoming atmosphere, good food, good beer, me my better half and another couple/friends were left very full and satisfied. Will definitely be visiting again to try more of the menu. I give it 4 out of 5.

Nice atmosphere, depending on the day. Friday night is best. Food is average. Pizza on the menu. Good for casual drinks with friends and pool table can be fun.

Honestly phenomenal food. Took us by surprise as we stumbled upon the place by accident on a random drive this evening. Highly recommended! I’m going back to try the surf and turf next week, the Cajun chicken burger and linguine we had today was so good. We even tried the mackerel pate, I’m not usually fan of fish but this was incredibly moreish.

Great little pub, food was fantastic

Pork roast was awful, cold pork, tepid veg on a warm plate! First 'not so good meal' we have ever had at dartmouth, did tell the bar staff, the young lady apologized, said she would let the chef know and offered 10% discount, on a 14 95 meal, how about 75% discount when you've had 75% + meal back! Expected more, disappointing!!!!

Lovely old pub , returned after 20 years still the same great 👍

Took family for my 70th birthday. On the whole had a lovely time, one or two hiccups, but sorted out. Food cannot be faulted, very tasty and cooked beautifully. Staff all pleasant even though they were under pressure. ( could do with a few more staff). Thank you Dartmouth Arms for helping me have a lovely day.

Got there a little late for lunch but they put themselves out to deliver a tasty meal. Nothing too much trouble for staff, very friendly and welcoming. A nice mix of people including families. We will definitely be going again and highly recommend.

Popped in for a pint after a drive out in the countryside. A lovely old English country pub , very authentic & set in a lovely little hamlet. Didn’t have time for any food but got talking to someone who had just finished a meal, they were very complimentary it so maybe next time. Great beer garden & kids park a short distance away.

food not bad but small coke £3.30 was a joke not impressed. will not be going back over priced. load of people

Stopped by for a drink with our children. Friendly staff, the children enjoyed the park in the sunshine ☀. A quintessential English abode. Nice malbec !

Fantastic pub warm and friendly staff helpful food fabulous would recommend this pub to everyone seafefriendly environment for everyone great experience

Lovely little pub in burnhill green, staff really friendly and the food , well that was great . Nice pint of HPA too , definitely recommend.

Wandered into the Dartmouth Arms at 2pm on Sunday on the off chance they might be doing food. The girl at the bar said they're doing a Sunday menu but there were no tables available other than one reserved for half three, so if we ordered quickly we could have that one. Already impressed with how helpful she was, we ordered three beef roast dinners. Crikey. Proper slabs of beef, Yorkshire puddings so big you could camp in them and every vegetable under the sun served in bowls (and a side of chips that seemed to be home cooked - delicious either way!) This pub turned Sunday around for us, we left feeling utterly stuffed and content. A proper old English country pub which obviously relies on its good honest food and hospitality rather than wide screen TV's and gimmicks. If we're ever passing again, we'll be sure to drop by!

Good old pub , lovely grub ....roll on the summer

Lovely local pub, friendly and relaxed, great Sunday lunches.

Very warm welcome Love the traditional pub atmosphere. Looking forward to returning.

Lovely and cosy warm pub with a nice wood burner. Food was very nice, good portions.

Been here a few times food nice staff great apart from the owner who Does not like kids . I seen other posts saying the same but not until you see if with your own eyes . Says he had complains yet only 8 people in pub who none of them complained as they had nothing to complain about as the child in question was doing nothing wrong !!! Then to come outside where we was having a cig and say do you girls have to smoke and while we was talking to a member of staff who was lovely he then says i wouldnt talk to them they rough !!! For smoking or the fact we called him out for his bare face lies about the child. Its ok if you dont have children but definitely not a family pub . We all will be avoiding from now on .

Love this little country pub. Very traditional with cosy wood burner keeping us warm. Food was excellent and very generous portions. Had the homemade lasagne with salad off the lunchtime menu at £12.50. Full of flavour and very good value for money. Staff lovely! Would highly recommend

A very pleasant and entertaining evening out. Many thanks.

Occasionally we meet at the Dartmouth and book 'Little Italy'. A surprising 17 rocked up last night. We were warmly greeted, well fed and looked after by two very attentive staff. Thank you. John Whalley for Dartmouth Classic Car Club.

Best steaks I've had for ages staff friendly and helpful

We booked and ate in the bar as the restaurant was so quiet. Staff were not the quickest but they were friendly and what they didnt know the answer to they went and quickly found out. I had whitebait for starters, sea bass fillets with seasonal veg and chips and white chocolate profitoroles. Huge portions!!!! Really enjoyed our visit and will be back next time we visit the area

Lovely food provided in a timely manner by very pleasant staff. Dogs allowed too!

We went to the Dartmouth Arms for my wife’s 60th birthday recently. We were accompanied by 21 family and friends. The staff were so friendly, helpful and professional from booking to service. The service was really good, prompt and last minute changes were no problem. Everyone enjoyed the food and the whole experience. We will certainly pay a return visit. Thanks to everyone there.

We have been to the Dartmouth Arms many times as we really enjoy the food and atmosphere in there. We took friends last night having told them how much we usually enjoy it. But it was so disappointing last night! The vegetarian cannelloni was completely different to how it normally is. It wasn’t even made with cannelloni from what I could tell. More like lasagne sheets. The spinach was watery and it didn’t have the delicious sauce it normally has. none of the flavour. Maybe the usual chef was away? The service was friendly enough but even that wasn’t really what it’s usually like. Really disappointing ☹️

My husband and I booked Sunday dinner today and we sat in garden watching some of cosford airshow. Meal was fabulous, plenty of everything and all cooked just right .Staff were very nice and helpful throughout.Great place we will be back.lovely day out on the motorbike too.

Fab pub and restaurant. Great feel to the place, and great beer garden. Popular with locals but still v friendly to drop ins like us . Will def go again

Lovely location great service great food 👍

Superb pub, that we found by accident! We went to RAF Cosford for the day, then afterwards searched Google Maps for "real ale". This popped up in the search results, and we decided to pay a visit on the way home. We arrived before the kitchen opened unfortunately, so we missed out on what looks like some epic pub grub, but nevertheless we sat in the beer garden and enjoyed a pint of real ale (I was driving so mine was a shandy, boooo). A really nice pint and some crisps in the sunshine, with lovely countryside views from the bench - does life get any better? We aren't local to The Dartmouth Arms, which is a shame, because I really would appreciate a pub of such quality on my doorstep.

Visited for my hubby's birthday as he fancied something a little different, we have visited a few times before so knew we were in for a treat. The food was delicious, staff were tentative as always and the location is beautiful. It's rare to find proper country pubs in the midlands and we will be coming back more regularly. The only thing I would say in as a "negative", which really isn't a negative for the pub, is the tables. I am tall, so have long legs, the underneath of the tables comes too low, so I can't fit my legs under easily. But that's my issue.

Stopped for Sunday lunch had the roast beef and veg will definitely go back again it was nice and hot friendly staff and efficient

Really enjoyed both visits, once as a couple and the other with my parents. Had roast lunch eat time and The Dartmouth Arms delivered on both occasions if you like homecooked Sunday meals!! Rustic surroundings with good staff and well priced. Would recommend!

Fantastic atmosphere. Excellent village location.

Visited after a walk in the area. Friendly staff and good range of drinks .Friends ordered a pizza which looked good and they said tasted good! Fair bit of outdoor seating which we took advantage of as it was nice and sunny 😊

A great country pub with a superb menu and fantastic food, great choice of local beers and ales complimented with a friendly service. Look forward to visiting you soon.

Went for Mother’s Day lunch and got to say this place was amazing from the excellent food to their brilliant staff they made us feel very welcome we will definitely return a big thank you xx

Absolutely fabulous place , food is always excellent cooked by Greek chef Louis, in an a styled Italian restaurant situated away from the bar and lounge, stunningly presented, u also have a lovely lounge with an open fire , for those who want a quiet drink or a bar that plays an excellent choice of music and a pool table , the landlord and the landlady are brilliant welcoming people as are all the locals , understandably this is a very popular place , there staff work extremely hard and go to length a to make sure u enjoy ur visit ❤️

Lovely rustic pub located in the hamlet of Burnhill Green. It has a great countryside feel to it, staffed by nice people and they even have Shindigger on tap alongside the usual English countryside casks.

Looking for somewhere new to eat, we came across here on the Internet which had good reviews. It proved a little tricky to find but we did eventually find it, and it's set in the middle of the peaceful countryside and the building looks the part too, very rural and quant. The inside wasn't what we envisaged from looking at the online photos, but it was a nice enough place and the staff were pleasant and accommodating and the service given was prompt. The food was very good and portion sizes huge, we all struggled to finish our meals. Only negative point was a group of four sat at the next table were vaping at their table all through our visit and meal..the plumes of vaping smoke didn't flag up any intervention, and I'm sure this is not allowed indoors, and is not a particularly good especially with the current ongoing virus. We didn't want to make a scene or challenge the offenders, but we'd hope in future this behaviour was prohibited and nipped in the bud, so customers can enjoy their family meals in a safe environment.

Pizza base was undercooked which could have been an unlucky one off. Everyone else's meal looked very good. Service was good.

A good steak and chips with salad and a pint in front of a log fire is always pleasant on cold winter nights. Rustic and filling. Always a good watering hole.

I have been going to the Dartmouth for over 30 years and it never disappoints. On my last visit the atmosphere was lovely, the food was good and reasonably priced and the service excellent

Wonderful country pub....Definitely one to support! A perfect place to relax after a long dog walk and enjoy a well poured real ale. Fabulous open fires for the colder months and a lovely garden with fabulous views in the warmer weather. A complete all rounder with happy interested staff and stunning food and with the options of the bar, the lounge and Little Italy the restaurant, there is plenty of seating whether you're looking for local banter or a more intimate evening, this gem ticks all the boxes!

Went for a couple of drinks on a Friday night and a local at the bar was aggressive and seemed angry that we were in his pub. Drank up and left. Shame as it is a nice place, if you can go when you're "allowed".

Nice pub good beer garden nice and quiet!

Lovely meal at Little Italy, thank you.

Took my wife and mother inlaw for sunday lunch nice meal and pleasant staff.

We were on a staycation in shrewsbury, group of 5 adults and one infant. Full marks to the landlord in welcoming us and offering a table. Meals were good on amount taste was average if anything the portions were very large. Good choice of italian foods. Service was v good. Landlord again very good on our departure. Bill came to just over £60 inc drinks ,so good value for money. Would recommend.

Great pub, helpful and friendly staff. Parking can sometimes be tight on a weekend evening. Food is great, especially the pizzas. Dogs welcome in bar. Lovely garden to sit in, or log burner inside in the winter time. A real locals pub.

Beautiful pub in gorgeous surroundings. Perfect for a pint and a bite. Friendly staff

Friendly local pub. Helpful, friendly staff. Always does great pizza too!

Lovely proper old fashioned country pub

Visited mid cycle ride and we were warmly welcomed. Staff were super attentive and friendly. The Hobsons Town Cryer beer was in great condition and the pasticcio was tasty. Just what we needed.

A very good evening meal. We ordered 2 lasagne & a cannelloni which were delicious & ample portions washed down with a very nice Pinot blush. We finished the meal with 3 coffees. Will definitely be back.

Warm friendly welcome, good safety measures in place, and most importantly good beer

Very local to us. Wonderful ale, pizzas to die for!! Really good safe system in place re Covid stuff. Can't wait for it to open properly. Really good pub!

Would be 5 stars except for such a poor selection of ale. ( Only two available ).

Lovely setting, excellent customer service and to top it off the food was fantastic!!!

Highly recommended for a relaxing drink set amongst some perfect countryside. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars !

The restaurant/pub has a unique blend of a welcoming English pub atmosphere with real Italian food which is extremely good. I had a really good but filling pizza. I do hope they can survive these current problems

First visit to the Dartmouth Arms. Food was first class. Service excellent. Hope to visit again next month.

Dined out here on a Wednesday evening food and service were excellent

Lovely place, staff are so polite, food was beautifully cooked and prices were very reasonable considering! Will be making an effort to return even though it's a bit if a treck from us!! Brilliant find x

We visited the Dartmouth Arms last night, we have only been for a drink last summer but had heard good reviews about the Sunday lunches and thought we would give it a go. We were very impressed. The food was excellent and the staff were...

Food + service food room was cold.

Nice ambience, polite staff and a beautiful meal. We'll certainly visit again

Amazing food, lovely, warm welcoming ambiance 👍

Hidden gem, great beer with nice beer garden overlooking countryside.

Hadn’t eaten here since Christmas but Husband said he’d like to go for his birthday, this fell on a Eat out to help out day. Husband had steak which he’s had there before and always enjoyed, other mains were pasta & fish. Friendly staff and...

Nice meal. Enjoyed the ambience in the restaurant. This was our first meal out in five months due to the covid lockdown. We were a little nervous and apprehensive with this new norm but life has to go on. Starters were nice and my mushroom...

Well organised to deal with current situation. Lovely setting, very welcoming, good food.

Great beer, lovely food, friendly staff and good service. What more can you ask for

Young staff pushed out to hide a dysfunctional restaurant. Food very poor. Choose anywhere else locally.

Turned up ‘on-spec’ and managed to get a table by the fire. Young man and woman serving food and drinks were very hospitable and couldn’t do enough for us - just ahead of a larger party arriving. The Italian food was excellent, with generous portions....

Good food - Great prices - Generous Portions! Atmosphere is pleasant with music and cosy lighting. Waiting staff were all very polite and helpful. Food was all really good, fresh and very generously portioned. Couldn't finish it all although we wanted to!

I was visiting from Devon staying with friends who live near this pub. We called in midway through a walk around the area. Received a warm welcome by the barmaid. Had a great Sunday roast with 5 vegs, roast and new boiled potatoes. Plus 20% discount on food and drink during January. If I lived in the area I would definitely be going there again.

Great, friendly pub. Always made to feel welcome by the hosts and customers alike. Cheers!

Lovely Sunday lunch. All cooked perfectly.

This is the best pub for miles!

Good atmosphere friendly bar staff

Very friendly and cozy. Barmaid very attentive. Food reasonable and good sized portions. We enjoyed it.

Very friendly with super food - bit dated surroundings but a great atmosphere

We visit the Dartmouth Arms a few times a year for Sunday lunch. I think you can get better Sunday lunches elsewhere in the area, but you pay through the nose for them. Sunday lunch at the Dartmouth gives you good quality meat and great...

Lovely Sunday lunch, Turkey and veg cooked perfectly great value for money.

Nice little pub will be back there cheers.

Cosy independent pub with people who chat to strangers kindly...I like that style!!😃

Great food, cozy pub with Italian restaurant built in...

We decided to go for dinner and just took a chance on this place. It is a little out the way but nice location and seemed busy. We were quickly shown through to the restaurant and seated and the staff were very attentive. The menu...
