The Dog in Sandwell

Visited for the first time last week, couldn’t fault it at all! Staff were really friendly, great service from everyone we encountered. Food was wonderful and well worth the wait, my steak was cooked to perfection and everyone else loved their meals, already planning our next visit - thanks to everyone at the Dog 😊😊😊

We usually book a table for late Saturday afternoons for food and drinks. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the food arrives quickly and is always great- a fabulous place to spend a relaxing few hours!

Disappointed on our first visit. Shown to our table then left to order on line(strange) Food was average at best. Just one example was “steak pie served with creamy mash” in reality pie pastry was hard and there was no mash (creamy or otherwise) and the side of mixed fresh veg turned out to be chopped green cabbage. The other members in the party had similar experiences. After ordering the desert course if arrived with all the previous course plates etc still on the table. There was also no heating on and we sat opposite the main double doors which were pinned open for 25 minutes while a delivery driver was in and out making his delivery. ( who has a bulk delivery at 6pm on a Saturday evening? I don’t think we will be returning.

Sam, Luke and Nikki are the best! Always service with a smile, lovely pub for food and drinks 😁

The fires am lovely an warm and great staff Sam good manager 👍

Charlotte and Sarah were so helpful and friendly, we visited with 4 young children and they were super accommodating and kind. Makes a difference to a tired mum. Food was nice and the kids ate well. Lovely pub, would come again.

Amazing vibes and atmosphere from Andi and Lauren on Friday night.

The pub inside is lovely and the staff are really kind and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and I would definitely order the sausage and mash again! We were celebrating my dad’s birthday and we had a nice secluded area and I was even able to bring my dog and order a small portion of food for him. I would definitely recommend The Dog to friends and family or anyone who would wish to go

Highly recommend this place. Great atmosphere, Great Welcome. Really enjoyed it. Dogs welcome and well catered for too

Came for a few drinks with my partner. Staff are really friendly and the service is nice and quick. Didn't eat here so cannot comment on the food but overall, a lovely place to chill out especially during the winter days.

Had a wonderful afternoon in the Dog. The manager Sam is exceptional,with a fantastic team of staff

Great food at a reasonable price

Always friendly and efficient staff. Good selection of food and drink. Outdoor seating needs some repair and attention but overall a nice place to go.

Usually a really nice place but last night there were a bunch of kids running around screaming at 9pm. This will put me off returning, very disappointing.

Attended the kids Halloween disco here and the staff were great and really engaged with the children. Great ale on tap and had a really good time. Family friendly 100%

The food was very good! A bit of a wait for both starters and mains. But it was a Sunday and it didn't look like there were many members of staff around. We all had a great time though and will definitely be going back!

Summer was a fantastic waitress. There was a bit of a wait for food as it was a busy Saturday night, but nothing long or frustrating. Perfect place for an evening drink or meal.

Good standards friendly staff all good

This is like Doggy heaven on earth. And the staff aren't too shabby either 😃 Hat's off to Sam and the team 🏆

Amazing food and service had a really good night. Waitress Andy was lovely and really made us feel well looked after, totally recommend and will be back 👍🏼

Been the dog numerous times and every time been here I’ve had the time of my life the food is phenomenal and you can’t beat the atmosphere you always feel welcome I would highly recommend!!!

Lovely meal, good service. Absolutely great atmosphere, have to try it, the place was packed out with people eating, definitely worth going too.

Just been here for my daughters birthday and a Lunch Time Bite. Never again. It was so cold in there and the Waiter just plonked the food on the table . His Attitude was disgusting. The manager did apologise and said he would speak to the young man. Dont these people get training. Never go there again Sorry 😞

Enjoyed our meal with the family and our waitress, Andi, took excellent care of us despite being very busy. Top food and top service 👌. Ate there again and the service was just as excellent. Five stars!!

Ran out of Yorkshire puddings no exchange offered. Waited 45 minutes for half of our food to come out, had to request stuffing and bacon even though its on the menu as included?!! Server asked about condiments and then refused to actually bring then to the table leaving one of our guests to walk off and find some after 15 minutes. Meat was fatty and portions dmall

Sam and the team always provide great service! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed drink! The staff are friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.

What a great family charity day topped with a super evening with live music. Food and customer service was exceptional. We could see how hard the whole team were working and the Manager Sam engaged with us all.Have seen many managers change hands but Sam has really took customer service to the next level with a fantastic team.. highly recommend!!

Came here on date night with my fiance. Great atmosphere, great food and great cocktails. Sarah and Sam went above and beyond, will definitely come back here.

Tasty food, amazing atmosphere, and great staff, would highly recommend! Sarah behind the bar made us feel right at home, promote this woman!

Lovely interior, always clean, and lovely staff who always strike up a fantastic conversation. Manager is fantastic.

Had a wonderful Saturday evening with friends and family. Big thank you to all the attentive staff who are always welcoming and willing to go out of their way to help. Thanks to Sam and her wonderful team ❤️❤️

Sunday lunch very good. Only downside was I ordered an extra of potato dauphinose with it. None came with my main so I asked waitress about this. She said they would follow soon. I think they hadn't come after about 10 minutes (did not time, so cannot be certain) but I had eaten a lot of my fish and other veg before I headed towards bar to ask someone. A waitress carrying drinks said she would find out but I hovered towards bar wanting quicker resolution. A colleague sat nearby at a table using a laptop offered to help, so I said I'd asked 2 staff already. She headed towards kitchen and I had my side within a few minutes. But I think kitchen staff should be aware that diners do not wish to chase up ordered sides. Either they should come with the main (at the same time)or immediately after that. The customer should not have to keep reminding staff. Otherwise, the Sunday menu has an excellent choice and food was that too

I only had the soup , Which was delicious. My friends had meals and really enjoyed them . I love the re camp . Really nice decor . The staff are nice too. Well done all.

Another excellent visit. Food fantastic and service was outstanding.

First visit today for our Sunday roast, we couldn't fault anything.The staff were very attentive and friendly.The lady who served us to our meals couldn't do enough, even bringing extra gravy.The food was very nice and will definitely visit again. Bar staff were friendly and smiley aswell.

Great place warm welcome from staff very friendly and food quality great too

I have been here not long ago and I can happily say that this pub is beautiful, drinks are amazing and there is a wide variety! Food is excellent as well x

Always fabulous food, wonderful service and friendly staff. The dog is dog friendly (of course 🥰) and family friendly with a little library for little ones. A amazing selection of drinks with fast service and a excellent choice of meals for everyone's taste. There are so many reasons to go to the dog so defo go and try it out for yourself 🥰🥰😘 I had the tandoori skewers today , the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly ,the cocktail selection is great and 2 for 12pound after 5oclock The passionfruit martini is my favourite 😍 so you cant say no to 2 fot 12 😃deffo be back 🥰

Music a bit loud. Food was good for the most part. Fishcakes are a bit dry with only a small dish of sauce. Ember inn pub with a few decent beers and lots of poor ones. Lunch time Friday was not busy at all. Free parking behind pub.

Amazing staff and excellent food, cosy little pub in a lovely location, would definitely recommend.

I love this pub. Always warm & welcoming.

The food was great and I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great with live sports and the service was amazing

Food came on time. Sam was very friendly and welcoming. Great service by Jacob

Bussling atmosphere. Food was great and timely.

Service is nice. The roast is appalling, I’m sorry but the duo was so disappointing. If you must eat here you should get the beef or gammon.

Very friendly welcome from Sam, who went above and beyond helping us IT dummies to access the app and get a discount. Ian, our server, was brilliant as well

Sam the manageress is amazing, the entertainment was amazing on Tuesday evening. Will deffo return very soon

Lovely staff and the food was nice too.

Really lovely pub and lovely friendly staff who go out there way for you above and beyond and the food was lovely too ,Sam is amazing and makes you feel so welcome , We love coming here and one of our favourite pubs ,Food and service is outstanding always

First visit to this pub but it won't be the last. Staff are so friendly, food was best I've had in a pub in a long time (Shepherds Pie) and Eton Mess. Well done all at The Dog, Quinton 🙂

Food is great! Staff always lovely and welcoming! Really enjoyable atmosphere! Brilliant recent charity event in which everyone was enjoying themselves - would recommend a visit!

Lovely staff and great service. Food and drinks were delicious and came quickly. Would recommend

Lovely atmosphere, lovely food. Fantastic service from staff

Amazing entertainment as always on sunday. You can tell the staff care about bringing a great atmosphere and the guest's comfort. Will be back soon!

Food was lovely and staff are excellent I love that it's dog friendly and can bring my Charlie

Lovely pub great atmosphere. Staff are welcoming and food is 10/10.

Another excellent night at the Dog Hagley Rd. Great food, hospitality & service from Sam & her team. Fantastic free entertainment from professional band “ Lady & the Sax” really got the house rocking. Excellent night 5 Stars. Barry & Co. 🍻🤣🕺🏻🤠

Lovely traditional pub, great food & atmosphere, never been disappointed here, always our go to!

Nice place, good atmosphere. Love going for early doors drink at the Dog

excellent service and amazing service from sam, luke and sam

Gutted! Booked over the phone and chatted with a helpful member of staff for a Sunday, took 2 well behaved dogs and ordered them a child's menu Sunday roast, along with 2 adult meals. Waited 1 hour 25 minutes and asked several times how long the food would be, and in the end just paid for the 3 drinks we had received and left. Was so looking forward to the venue being a new place to take the dogs after a walk around Warley Woods, but very poor service on what was not a particularly busy Sunday has spoilt the moment.

Had a meal at the Dog on Wednesday night 21st August. Four people, the starters came out quickly and were enjoyable. The main course followed maybe twenty minutes later which I find pleasant as I prefer a gap between courses. The two steaks were cooked to perfection and came out as requested one medium and one medium rare. The chicken schnitzel was very nice and cooked.lovely the chicken not too dry. Finally the sausage and mash cooked as wanted well done. In other places this can lead to a dry inner but these were blackened on the outside but wonderfully cooked, light and not greasy on the inside. Well done to the chef team at the Dog. I must mention the front of house team were warm and friendly. Nothing an issue and going above expectations whilst helping with promotion offers. Also not rushing to pour a pint of Guinness to the point they brought it to the table, you don't get that in many places on England.

Lovely Sunday lunch and friendly staff.

Excellent service the managers Sam is a credit to the compamy

Great staff, food and drinks, will definitely be back soon! 🥰

The Dog is my local pub in Bearwood and I can’t recommend it enough. The team are always very helpful, Lauren in particular. My kids enjoy it there too.

Always a lovely warm atmosphere, with lots of great food options as well as crayons and books on hands for kids to enjoy whilst they are here

Great food, great drinks and great service always a fantastic visit

Excellent sea bass prawns peas and potatoes.....with hollandaise!! Good service... lovely place ...

Just been for lunch…lovely food stunning service…Sam always makes us feel welcome..Be back soon 😎

My partner and I decided to pop to The Dog on Friday for curry night. It didn’t disappoint. We had the two course set menu and the food was delicious arrived within the promised wait time. Staff are very friendly and seem happy to serve! The pub was busy and had a lovely atmosphere so ended up staying later than planned due to us enjoying the evening. Thoroughly recommend.

Again a lovely evening with delicious food and fabulous staff- thankfully I didn’t need first aid as wore sensible shoes 🤣🤣🤣

Has to be prob one of the worse places I have been too .. spoilt our wedding anniversary.. oh well never return

Jacob is a credit to the team, always very smiley and helpful

Always very friendly and warm atmosphere

Managers on duty were outstanding nice atmosphere and top quality food and drinks

Great run pub, great team, great staff and great manager. 5 stars across the board.

Such a lovely lunch! The manager couldn’t have done enough for us she was so lovely! The food was excellent steak was cooked to perfection and the Cajun fries were so yummy! Definitely recommend and will be returning!

Excellent manageress she has just dealt with a very difficult guest who was swearing and shouting and being irate. Will definitely be coming back the pub has really turned a corner since she has arrived.

Another fantastic visit the manager was dealing with a very irate abusive customer who refused to leave she remained professional and calm. Has really turned the pub around

I recently celebrated a birthday at The Dog, and it was a delightful experience! Our group of 8 enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, quick service, and delicious food. The menu offered a range of options, and everyone found something they loved. The vegan burger was particularly tasty, accompanied by a sizable salad. 🍔🥗 The staff was friendly and attentive, making our celebration even more enjoyable. The pub’s traditional vibe, complete with an inviting real fire, added to the charm. 🍻🔥 Whether you’re looking for a relaxed lunch or a cozy dinner, The Dog is a great choice.

Great atmosphere... Did not eat but saw the food..looked lovely and the customers looked satisfied ... lovely feel to the pub..

Lovely pub that backs on to light woods park,it as a lovely vibe to the place, friendly staff .nice beer garden,and nice beer.

Very relaxed...Food looked great(didn't eat)...Polite staff...Very calm atmosphere good outdoors.. families oriented..

The food was well lovely 😍 The pub is also dog friendly as we had two dogs. We had our food in the outside area when the food was brought to us they placed the food at the table and left we could ask as she didn't leave any cutlery/napkins or if we needed sauces...but didn't mind fetching them ourselves and for our kids...just thinking of the elderly and people with disabilities etc...but anyway lovely pet friendly pub as we had 2 dogs I even foned my parents to come down and a drink with us so all lovely definitely visiting again as food was lovely 😍 👌 👍

Visited the other day with my wife, and we were served and greeted by a gentleman in a yellow/mustard coloured jumper. I didn't catch his name. He was absolutely pleasant and reminded me of the younger days when gentlemen were gentlemen. The food was good, but customer service from this gentleman was great and will return again. Adding more from visit today 14th april from around 1pm. Once again the young gentleman was very pleasant. What seem like the manager, she also was very friendly, I didn't catch the gentleman name again but he got tattoos. But great service once again. Editing this from today. 29.07.2024 I visited yesterday and today, them gentlemen on the evening was running around, you can see them doing the best and the place looked short staffed. The gentleman than I placed a review on before was there last night and today, he once again was pleasant despite looking exhausted. The long hair guy was also doing he's best although you can see how fed up he was. I would recommend more staff on the evening, I feel to see staff being worked to their bones, especially when they are polite and hard workers like these. I will return again, has it a local. But I hope to return to a more staffed place on evenings has my wife made a point with how it isn't nice to see unfortunately.

Fantastic meal at the dog, lovely food and service. Will definitely return, thank you!

Always a great meal at the dog. We come in often and it never disappoints! Friendly staff and always welcoming, bonus that dogs are allowed too! Thank you dog team

Another great and friendly visit to The Dog! Always receive a warm welcome from the staff. Food was tasty and fresh!

Firstly they didn't have the falafel to go with the salad, then , they didn't have the drink I ordered. When the salad came out , it was ment to be a grain salad .... there were no grains . They took the salad back , 10 mins later it came back with grains . Meanwhile the person I was with finished their chicken wings and OVERCOOKED chips . We sat outside , the tables were falling apart. The patio was unkept....I could go on about how bad it was for a potentially nice looking pub on the inside ....Was also offered nothing what so ever to compensate for such bad service ... was the first time coming and will not be going again..... Edit to add... just had desert , caramel cheesecake. Described as with caramel and coconut ... tasted of neither....

Have had a previous visit that was reviewed higher as service and food was good, today was very disappointing. Party of two, One order for starter and 2 mains, starter and one main came same time, had to wait ages for the second main to arrive and it had obvious been under the heat lamp as very dry and chips tasteless. Tables very slow to be cleared. Ordered a coffee and small Desert, drinks arrived but the wait for desert was considerable, eventually had to raise with waitress, came eventually with no apology for the wait..... obviously forgot about it. Very disappointed

Lovely food staff was friendly and dj was fab

Fabulous food. Very accommodating staff go the extra mile. Sam is a very good manager who leads a very committed staff well to ensure guests have the best experience possible

Heartwarming environment complimented by beautiful staff always willing to help. Food never fails to impress alongside dessert - Eton mess personal favourite with strawberries. Beautiful scenery that emphasises the loving staff and the food. Absolutely recommend coming here for food anytime of the day whenever you feel hungry as well as your Sunday lunch❤️

Thank you to the staff at The Dog. We went for my Dad's memorial gathering.. Space to hear the lovely memories. We had our own area to gather and use of TV to show show our pictures and sound to play all the songs he liked. The food was very very good and lots of it... A table for unlimited Tea/Coffee There was food left over and the staff put it into take away boxes for people to take. What a good idea... Thank you for making this day really nice.

Popped in yesterday for a catch up with a friend. The pub was nice and busy and there was a lovely atmosphere. Great pub and even better staff, thank you!

Good food seem to start to run out of food even when had book the table and so they should have know how much food they had got in .so that was a bit disappointing but the food was good great service and atmosphere can also sit outside but the day was good and the staff made the welcome and made my birthday special thankyou to the staff

Great pub food is nice and the staff are friendly

Came here for evening drinks. Large carpark at the back of the pub, accessible via the side road. Facilities nice and clean. Although didn't eat, food looked good and plenty empty plates- curry night on Friday night. Beer garden for warmer evenings. Attentive staff. Arrived at 7.30pm and was really busy and remained busy all night, just a few seat areas available.

I would like to give a big shout out to Sarah and Ian, who were absolutely brilliant today. Ian gave a lovely warm welcome when I arrived to bring my grandad out for his 95th birthday. We also had my new 9 week old puppy with us. He kindly directed us to the dog friendly area and I was really pleased she could sit inside with us. Then we ordered our food, (which was lovely by the way) and mentioned to the staff it was my grandads birthday. Honestly, was so touched that they brought him a brownie and ice cream out and even sang happy birthday to him. It was a lovely gesture and made my grandads day (mine too). I really would like to recognise them for what they did and for making our lunch so memorable. I will absolutely be back again and I'll bring Willow again too....she had a great time too. Thank you Ian and Sarah, the world needs more of you xx
