The Dudley Arms in South Staffordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very good pint of Guinness, friendly bar staff.

Nice carvery, food good , Good price

Good price but roast potatoes were like bullets at 6.00 pm when had meal. Might have been from lunchtime but owners say not Just think of having evening sittings

Staff friendly service good . Food lovely.

Lovely place great for a Sunday morning full English breakfast 😋 good value for money too

Very enjoyable Sunday afternoon.....lovely carvery, very friendly & welcoming Staff. Would highly recommend!

Love this place. Staff are friendly and helpful. Always have the carvery which is lovely. They cater for my GF diet too which is a great plus for me

Lovely food and service was superb with a lovely atmosphere

Been coming here for years mainly on a Sunday for a Sunday dinner and then the odd early morning breakfasts . You can’t fault the food! Dam perfect! The staff are all lovey! Always going at bit extra for you . Who ever the mangers and chefs are make sure they stay! Because as pubs / restaurants go this ones up their with the very best in the country!

Bottomless breakfast was vile Taste was orrible wouldn't recommend at all Steer clear.

Went for carvery on a Wednesday night with a friend, 5pm, all food was fresh ,tasty and the beef just melted in your mouth- I think the pub could do with a paint/update refresh - just my opinion 😀

Arrived around 6pm or there about party of 4 of us Quite empty for a Saturday evening we did try calling to book but phone just told us to call back later Anyway upon arrival it was very empty as I said Served straight away and table Nice quiet spot 3 of us had carvery and sorry to say very disappointed all the meats was dry..beef pork turkey and gammon looked like it had been standing all the veg had also been standing for quite some time very dry..but thought ok Let's get some gravy if that is what it was called more like brown water plates was cold so what heat was in the food went quickly..the cutlery was appallingly dirty I tried wiping with a napkin and it was still dirty I could not get it off I had to ask for clean cutlery 🍴 food hygiene is high on my agenda I'm seeing dirty cutlery what can you expect from the kitchen We was offered something else but if the carvery was bad I didn't know how the other food would be We had an excuse they was getting ready for a birthday party but that's know excuse for poor quality seemed like they was considerably under staffed I've been in there over the years and has always been ok but I shall not be eating there again The Dudley arms sorry for not a good review but I only ever give honest opinions

visited on Saturday 15 June afternoon tea for birthday was absolutely amazing food was great thank you Lena for an excellent choice and outstanding presentation anwill for his good service 👍

Pleasant pub, good value breakfast and friendly and efficient staff

Had our wedding reception and.my husband's birthday celebrations here. From the initial booking to the day was amazing nothing was too much for Emma and Neil. On the day, Chris was was so attentive, went above and beyond to make our day so special, food was amazing, carvery and buffet were complimented from our guests ❤️ xx

Lovely cosey friendly pub, nice decour. Good choice of drinks.

Have to be honest , it's gone from being great to not so good , although the staff are friendly enough , the foods no better than anything you can cook yourself, and being perfectly frank , the whole place needs a good clean. Tables are sticky , chairs are dirty , and the bar needs a deep clean when you look behind the bar whilst waiting to be served . Wouldnt go again to be honest , vast improvement needed all around .

Amazing carvery and mixed grill Good quality meat. Welcoming staff.

Really good pub grub with large portions, staff very accommodating. Happy atmosphere, large carpark ONLY CONS No dogs inside, which is a shame given its location next to Himley Hall Park and Gardens.....this means eating outside right next to a very busy A449. and everything a sunny Saturday in June brings. But food really was good and served with aa smile.

We were a party of 20, people enjoyed the meals ordered off the menu but the carvery was not very good which was a shame, the staff were pleasant and helpful

Cheap sausages,burnt eggs. Cheap beans and dry toast. Will not visit again

Private function. Room was very nicely decorated and laid out with balcony and feature spiral staircase. Buffet meal was good, but lacked much for vegetarian option. Room would be a bit hot on a summer evening, but was fine on a cooler evening.

Took my 3 children alone and the staff were just amazing, even though they were so busy they were all on the ball and so attentive. Lady serving the carveries noticed I was charged for 2 adults so got someone to sort this out for me even though I said not to worry about it then she got someone to help me carry my plates to the table to the children. Food was lovely, children had ice creams to follow where the staff helped them to make their own after eating and sitting so well. Thanks Neil and all your staff!

Just been here for the first time, it a nice pub, and I had the best carvery I've ever .

Why do you not bevhonest and put up reviews that tell the truth about tye standard of the food that you serve not just the made up ones. I would not come there for a meal if you paid me. It was awful. L.Reid

Good food, great service, fantastic value.

Just been here for Sunday carvery was shown to table small queue to order food only 2 serving ordered food and drinks has I didn't see any price for the carvery I was told it was £13 each which is a bit expensive but I thought it might be worth it having waited 3/4 hour for our number which never came up and went pass we joined the queue and was asked what meat I went for beef and turkey and was asked if I want stuffing and Yorkshire pudding which I did the Yorkshire pudding was very flat and didn't resemble nothing like a Yorkshire pudding a queue for vegetables not a very big area on top of the carved meat and small choice I went for leeks in a cheese sauce broccoli and carrots roast potatoes and mashed potatoes and then the gravy very thin and turned round to add condiments the containers hardly had anything in them,on eating the leeks it tasted very gritty and I asked my wife what hers was like and they were the same obviously they had not been washed before cutting and cooking them,the carrots was hard so was the roasted potatoes my daughter didn't like the beef she said it tasted livery a cheep cut of meat overhaul was not worth the money I wouldn't recommend.

Great breakfast....to early for a drink.

Lovely warm welcome..Staff friendly and attentive. Will definitely return

Best carvery in the UK or the world 🌍 Fact!

Good little pub. First time going to a place when someone in our party reserves places and they don't have menu's and cutlery ready for that reservation on the table. We had to go up and ask for that, also not informed about the Specials that where available. The food was good, a massive Fish if you order the Fish and Chips. Was surprised to see that when we got asked for sauces the person who bought a Steak asked for the normal sauce that comes with the steak which was Peppercorn Sauce got charged for the Peppercorn sauce (£2.25) where as others at the table didn't get charged for there sauces. (Mayo and Ketchup) We didn't get told that we would be charged for the Peppercorn Sauce, as I don't think the person who asked for it would of got it knowing we got charged for it. Half the party was a little disappointed in the options for Dessert that were available here, I was totally happy with the options.

Fantastic place, and Carvery is one of the best I've had.

Absolutely fantastic food and service carvery is amazing all home cooked fresh food cooked to perfection will definitely be going back

Great food and service, after a small issue Heather dealt with the problem amazingly a credit to your business. Highly recommend x

Don’t be fooled by the exterior decoration. This place is fantastic! I was staying nearby (that’s another story 😢) for 5 days. Both breakfast and lunch buffet as well as the a la carte were excellent and great prices. Had a salad and asked for olive oil expecting the usual stuff and very happy to be served with an excellent green gold virgin high quality. Staff excellent as well. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Had breakfast around 9.30 am staff was very friendly and breakfast was good thanks again will be back soon for a delightful carvery 😁

Excellent staff excellent curry would recommend for a meal out

We were in the function room for a wake. The room itself was lovely, great space.

had a lovely meal with family last night, staff all friendly, food was very good .

I would recommend the Dudley Arms to everyone. Best pub around

Went to meet family for breakfast very good and hot plenty of choice. It was fairly quiet but was getting busy when we left around 11.30.

Overall a good experience. However the general atmosphere and cleanliness left a little to be desired. Staff worked hard and were generally polite and courteous.

Didn't find staff very friendly apart from 1 to busy talking to one another. Breakfast cold

Group of of us went for a breakfast. Buffet style full English.

Excellent service great food staff were very friendly

Nice friendly staff great atmosphere and very clean highly recommend

Food was great and prices was fair would highly recommend and if we are ever back in the area would go again everyone was friendly.

Really great atmosphere, brilliant helpful staff who I'm pleased to say smile . Really nice clean interior . The cooking smells are amazing. You can order off the menu or have the carvery. And folks the plates are NOT small. My only small criticism is the toilets, the doors could do with bleaching or painting. Other than that this place is brilliant and I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast next time we go. Oh and folks there's plenty of parking.

Always a great meal and service. Staff always very friendly. Great place, it's our go to place on special occasions.

Very nice, friendly pub. Stopped by for a carvery everything was great, good size portion, plenty of veg to choose from. Good value. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the lack of regular soft drinks. Britvic apple was the only option or juice. Please pubs, let me choose if I want regular soft drinks or diet, I like an ice cold Cola with my carvery, and i think diet soft drinks taste nasty. But overall, a nice place to go.

Rammed at 4.30 pm Sunday.....we booked and you need to weekends.....seated quickly...bar service a little slow but to be fair very busy.....most of our party had carvery which was great.....2 diners with food off the menu didn't get theirs until we had nearly finished.... otherwise 5 star all round

liked the atmosphere lots of nooks nice food plentiful but fairly typical. girls could be a tad more friendly

Table was Filthy and Sticky. I was told I couldn't have fresh beef. The meat was stringy. When they carved the turkey it was way too thick and they just slapped it on the plate. They wasn't wearing hair nets either whilst carving the meat. Wine glass was filthy. Very disappointed

Decent, used for a wake after a funeral..

Truly tasty carvery and all very fresh, really lovely mothers day food 👍 My only crtiticism is I wish there were more veg options like broccoli, parsnips etc. The roast potatoes and yorkshire puds were the bet I have tasted 😛 Thank you for getting us in so late for mothers day, truly appreciated.

Booked ahead for Mother’s Day, food was not up to the usual standard (which is already fairly low considering the chain) food was overcooked, dry and we won’t be returning or recommending to anyone for any type of event based meal.

8 March 2024: after our visit to Town & Country Meats (excellent as always) on the Dudley Arms carpark today, we thought we'd have a coffee in the Dudley Arms before heading home. It was 0940, and the place was already busy, but first impressions was that it was warm and clean. Greeted by a pleasant and friendly staff member, we then thought we'd have a Buffet Breakfast. Whilst the coffee was good - the breakfast sadly wasn't! The bacon, black pudding and sausage that my husband had were too overcooked and hard - sadly not able to be eaten. The eggs had obviously been under the heater lamps quite a while - but we could at least eat those. Same can be said of the hash browns and mushrooms. Overall - disappointing. Next time we are getting our meat, we will stick to the coffee.

Absolutely brilliant Sunday carvery great value for money.

Son took me for first visit to DA for mothers day lunch. carvery was really good, plenty of choice, Will the waiter could no do enough for us. I need a stick to walk and he carried my plate without being asked. Dessert was so good, cherry crumble.

Lovely place and lovely food. Nice atmosphere

Plates needed to be warmer .made food cold quick

Went here today for a family meal food was bostin

The first thing I noticed was the pub itself is rather run down. You are not able to book a table online. The food itself wasn’t great we ordered two steaks one medium and it came out tougher than an old leather boot. The lady who looked like a manager (blonde hair) had a right face on her from the moment we stepped in. it was like we was inconveniencing her by being there. When I complained about the food the steak was replaced and the steak was cooked properly the manager came over and asked if everything was ok with the food but she had a right attitude doing it. We was crammed in to one small back room with several other family’s. They had “reserved” the rest of the restaurant but no one tuned up while we was there think they just wanted everyone in one place makes it easier for them. I didn’t have a carvery but it didn’t look appealing. The only reason I went to the Dudley arms was because Himley House is having work done to it.

Went to a wake but enjoyable catching up with distant friends and relatives Dudley arms good staff friendly and professional food good and wholesome

This was recommended to us by a Friend so we came for Sunday lunch without a booking, we were promptly seated although it was very busy. The food was amazing and we could see why it gets busy, the staff were very friendly and there is plenty of parking, we will definitely be trying again.

Food was amazing, staff really attentive

Very nice pub, food was very nice and staff are lovely. Will definitely be coming back here again in the future.

We went on their busiest day at their busiest time. The food was lovely! The portion sizes were crazy. I felt like I was going to need to be rolled out of there! The carvery was perfect, and I’m quite fussy about a roast. Their system kept everything moving and although there were long wait lines for drinks and purchasing the carvery, it was well worth it!

Can get very crowded of weekend but that’s for good reason.

Great pub great carvery.really friendly staff but could do with more ales on tap plenty outdoor space for when the sun comes out nice little smokers shed there is also a good cheap butcher on the rear of the carpark all in all a good pub all round plenty parking spaces usually . try the pub for yourself you won.t be disappointed all you can eat breakfast is great

Carvery very nice. Scampi very nice plenty

Food fantastic. It was packed (we went on a Sunday lunchtime) and because of the size was very noisy. Apparently they serve about 500 meals per day at the weekend. The leeks were a knock-out!

Lovely carvery. Beef so tender & plenty of vegetables. Great choice! Staff so helpful. Lovely room & atmosphere.

Delicious carvery food at a very reasonable price. If I lived closer, I certainly would go there regularly!

I have to say, probably the best carveries I have ever had. Staff super friendly 👍🥰 and all for eight round pounds.

Really tasty carvery, all of the meat was very tender, good choice of vegetables and potatoes, mashed, roast and boiled with skins on. Only down side is, the serving area and where the vegetables are, is very small. Both otherwise very enjoyable and will definitely be going there again.

We come here tonight for the 1st time I must say wow the carvery was lovely the food was amazing value for money the staff was amazing and lovely and the one lady give my 1 year old baby a goodie ice cream and spoke with her etc made us feel welcome will definitely be coming again thank u for a lovely evening

Breakfast was cooked just right. Just what you needed to start the day.

Lovely pub, great food and very welcoming staff too, highly reccomend

Went for breakfast . It was nice. My one moan is that there are only fried eggs would be better if there were scrambled or boiled to choose from

It's a lovely venue, although it was a funeral wake. Toilets are clean and staff very friendly and attentive, the only downside the drinks are quite expensive.

I truly love going here to eat with my family the carvery is simply beautiful,the pub itself is always clean and tidy and there's no member of staff who wouldn't go above and beyond to make your visit the best it could be, thankyou Dudley arms for a great meal and great pudding..or two...or three.

Proper black country roast Amazing rost potatoes done in meat Juicies and Yorkshire puddings Vegetables don't properly Not hard or suggy Mashed potato very tasty I'm your gravy mmmmm The atmosphere let it down a little bit but brilliant food. They do Childrens meals Good portions

My local pub for more years than I'd care to remember. Great staff and good honest food; I eat here regularly. They do a good cappuccino too. Their New Year's Eve party was great fun, well attended by a lot of people all having a great time. The carvery can get busy on Sundays so I tend to partake on a weekday evening, breakfast is always good. Nice friendly clientele too. There is an excellent function room upstairs too.

Brilliant place for breakfast, self service, help yourself to as much or as little as you want, reasonable price.

The food was tasty and the staff and atmosphere was great. They certainly look after me and my friends . And Christmas decorations was beautiful 🎄☃️🎅🍷💐xx

Amazing carvery. I had all three meats and asked for a extra Yorkshire which I got :) the food was lovely and lots of veg and gravy, would recommend

Met with mates for a meet up. Carvery was excellent value and good quality.

Nice festive carvery meal. Good value for money.

Brilliant carvery at 1980's prices well done !

We held my Dads wake in the banqueting suite today. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the initial call to today. The room was beautiful, we had our own facilities and away from the christmas parties. The hot buffet food was lovely and the chap on the bar was so warm, friendly and couldnt do enough for us. Thankyou so much for making a very difficult day bareable

Always go for breakfast but last few times not good, beans and tomatoes cold ,hash brown,s soggy and warm

Saturday morning breakfast top quality great price

Absolute banger of a carvery mid week with a very reasonably priced dessert. Would like to say Angela who was dishing food up, was lovely and an asset to the pub

We had a beautiful pre Xmas meal with our family...the meats on the carvery were very nice ...a lovely night was had by all

Nice carvery and good selection of drinks

An absolutely lovely carvery in the function room for 60+ of us from two groups and it's volunteers from Wombourne. The food, a full Christmas feast was excellent as were the lovely staff who helped those that needed it to take their plates back to their table. A big thank you to all of you for making it such a lovely experience.

Just wanted to say a big thank you! We grabbed a takeaway carvery for 7 people while we were in the middle of unpacking boxes after a house move. My 2 year old son has allergies so I always get anxious trying anywhere new, as sometimes he’s just not catered for. I didn’t need to worry though, as the staff checked everything and advised what was safe. It was lovely that he was able to enjoy the same dinner as everyone else without worrying. Thank you so much for putting an anxious allergy momma at ease.

Really nice carvery meal with family , booked for breakfast now 👍

We walked in as a last minute booking and sat and waited for a table , Samantha who was head of house managed to get us a table really quickly as the pub was so busy . We was shown to our table and the service was impeccable from the moment we walked in . Food was piping hot and plenty of everything the staff are just so helpful and polite will definitely return again .
