The Shire Oak in Walsall

Absolutely amazing! My partner and I have been here a few times over the last couple months, the food and service is always second to none! Everything is so fresh and for lack of a better word, the food is banging! Staff are lovely and friendly! This is definitely our new food go-to!

Lovely, quiet attentive staff happily engaging with the customers

The Shire Oak is a stunning Pub / Eatery. Rick has been landlord here for many years.. very hospitable and always very accommodating... Other staff on site also very friendly and welcoming. High standards are clear to see, the place is spotless throughout and the food coming out of the kitchen looks very tasty and well presented. Tastefully decorated with plush comfy seating and lots of tv screens to enjoy the live sports. The Shire oak also offers Darts and Pool, live music events and a very pleasant beer garden. Photos show this exceptional pub in full detail... 😎

Had food here Wednesday, Shocking! I had the hunters chicken which looked like it had been warmed up 10 times. Chicken looked almost brown and so dry and the lady even asked me if i didn't like it, when i told her it looks discussing she just took the plate. Staff was nice just let us down massively with food as the lady could see i only had one bite out of the chicken and still didn't offer a discount or anything, so ended up paying £10+ for a plate of chips. Defiantly wouldn't recommend for food, also the packets of ketchup in the tins given out was out of date.

Omg the best pub ever staff amazing food truley home made a little gem where you just need to go to lots of different events going on pls visit for the most friendly place ever 😀

the staff are beyond rude the food is inedible and the drinks are so over priced it’s a joke £8 for double vodka lemonade in walsall?? i don’t think so. the staff make you feel unwelcome and are always rolling their eyes, huffing and tutting at customers. they walk away while ur halfway through ordering, they did this to my friend and when she came back to finish her order they were rude and said she didn’t order properly??any mistake on their behalf they’re always reluctant to help, i ordered two drinks which i was given with the wrong mixer when i asked for them to be remade they tried to charge me for them again!!!! this was after i spent 20 mins disputing with staff i’d spent £16 on drinks that were undrinkable. they then sent another member of staff to make them because she “couldn’t be arsed”. when the pub is nearly closing the staff will go round to customers saying “you need to hurry up and drink that” and they will shout over the bar “EVERY BODY OOUUTTTT I WANNA GO HOME” not as a joke btw. the atmosphere is never good as well and to be honest i’m surprised it’s not closed. ALSO THE STAFF SLEEP WITH THE REGULARS, ONCE THEY’RE DRUNK ENOUGH, AFTER THEIR SHIFT!!!!!

Just passing not been innfor a while

Lovely pub. Friendly staff. Played pool .was a bit too hot in there though.

Stopped off on our way to a football match. The staff coped brilliantly with a unexpected arrival of a coach full of football fans 👏. We will be back next year

My family and I visit this pub pretty regularly. We visit for both a quick drink and food and I can honestly say we have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and polite and the atmosphere is always very welcoming.

Great to visit 😊 old ancestry pub, the staff were very helpful explaining all the changes to the pub and told me the old brewery is now part of the car park. Sadly didn't have time to try the delicious smelling cuisine.

Rick's a G and an absolute lad. Staffs fantastic, great atmosphere. Will be there again

Enjoyed my visit ,,staff advised on a couple of beer promotions which Actually saved me money ,, good fun family atmosphere, will give it a re visit soon

Great food as usual , staff are friendly and look after you. Love the place!

Wholesome enough food but a cheap and cheerful type establishment. Service was slow at times and definitely without a smile! This was Wednesday 7th June. In fairness the man serving was fine, it was the female waitress/bar person who wasn't very friendly.

Our Local pub. Friendly staff, good pub grub. Extensive menu!

Lovely Roast dinner today 😋 love this pub. Great staff and friendly atmosphere 👍

Just dropped in for a quick drink that why inly 3 stars but will go back

Staff friendly and food great. Entertainment brilliant

Great pub, friendly staff pool table and music, good

I took my daughters and grandchildren to have a meal and evening out. The food is overpriced. the fish was just wet and white with no flavour and didnt even look or taste of cod. my egg covered my piece of gammon, it was so small. will not eat here again vile food..just not nice at all.

Fantastic Sunday dinner and Fantastic staff

Friendly staff, tasty steak, plenty of TVs to watch the game and lots of space for wheelchairs. Clean warm facilities and a welcoming atmosphere.

Lovely place staff very friendly. Brill disco on a Saturday night

Excellent food, friendly service, definitely recommend 👍🏻

Friendly staff, clean premises, lovely food.

Very friendly pub. Nice atmosphere

We had my daughters 18th Birthday meal at this pub today. The food was really nice and the people that worked there was so lovely and couldn't do enough for us . Would highly recommend x

Visited with a family member before Christmas when we were back in the area. Lovely, warm service from all the staff, great food with a fantastic kids menu at really reasonable prices. Looking forward to our next visit when we're back this way 😀

Had a quick drink after work. Nice little pub

Just want to say thank you to all the staff for making my daughters 50th birthday celebration meal a fantastic night to remember couldn't have asked for more food was beautiful, entertainment brilliant really great night , and just to add a big thank you to Kira for putting up with all my whats app messages lol

First time at The Shire Oak and the last. Shocking food, soggy burger bun, overcooked burger rock hard roast potatoes and we had to wait nearly an hour in an empty pub for the pleasure. Do not get me started on the £3.45 pigs in blankets side order, 4 small burnt bits which looked like they'd been found behind the fridge. Look I'm not one for moaning normally but this is a place to definitely avoid.

Local pub, stopped for lunch. Plenty of parking. Friendly landlord.

Nice pub for a afternoon pint or somewhere to watch the football and the food was reasonably priced and not bad too. Will definitely return again.

Went in sat alone in beer garden while waiting for my partner, the barmaid on was exceptional, looked after me, made ne feel comfortable and welcome. Gutted didn't get her name or see her when I left.

Fabulous fish finger sandwiches and lunchtime refreshment, served by gorgeous friendly staff. Well done.......😀

Great food, helpful friendly staff and beer, what more do you want. But in all fairness the chilli topped burger was amazing 👏😋

We came today to bring my mother-in-law who is 92 & has not been out for over 2 years we had an excellent meal. Would like to say a massive thank you. The meal & caring of staff were outstanding xx we will be back 🤗😊

Pleasant establishment, always welcoming.

1st time in there .lovely friendly staff not afraid to have a laff with you 👍👍👍👏👏👏

It was lovely if I had time could of eaten same again lovely Sunday dinner will be back there soon

Pub grub meal but had burger was lovely, service good and efficient, friendly atmosphere

Excellent food for Mother's Day and very lovely friendly staff.

Popped in at lunchtime as both the Stonnall pubs were closed until 3pm. So glad I did. Claire was a lovely host and all the food was home cooked from scratch! Will certainly come again.

Very friendly and great food at great prices. Always an excellent meal in a comfortable atmosphere.

Nice relaxing friendly atmosphere.

Well kept pub with a good selection of beers.

Good value food, staff went over and above to meet our needs, can’t recommend enough

Lovely staff who were so polite & friendly to my daughter & amazing food! (Lotus Sundea to die for!) Nice warm & cozy atmosphere! Cant wait to go again!

Friendly staff. Great Saturday nights

Large car park. Just off main road. We'll cooked food

Visited for the first time, this evening. Very hospitable and efficient server. Brilliant pub grub. Highly recommend the lasagne!! Great experience.

Was at the shire oak yesterday, totally awesome, food was excellent, staff so friendly, made to feel like a local by the staff and customers, top marks for Rick and cath and staff, will certainly be back

Staff are absolutely fantastic always working with a smile on there face, really welcoming pub if your not a local, amazing food and great atmosphere, definitely a must try if you’ve not already!

It is really nice but we ordered at 7pm and it came at half 8 so yeah everything else was really nice

Amazing!! If you haven't been, why not! Your missing a complete treat! Staff are fabulous and the atmosphere is ... WOW!! If you want a good time, this is your place to be!

Lovely place,staff and the chips are out of this world.

A fantastic pub the staff looked after us so well and due to our poorly son they kept us isolated from others and worked with our needs, We can’t thank you all enough and the food was amazing your all amazing keep up the good work guys and we will see you again soon. 🥰

Great pub, great entertainment on weekends . The landlord, Rick is brilliant the staff very friendly and give excellent service and are always game for a laugh. Great food . Should definitely check it out.

Waited 40 mins for Sunday Roast and Childrens pasta. It was the most boring food ive ever had and tasteless. For £9.99 i expected more. And the pasta well dont bother! My lad had two mouthfulls. First and last ever visit we will be making.

Really nice pub, good food and drink and friendly staff

We had a fantastic meal just 1 little bleep but it was rectified straight away would go again 10 out of 10

Excellent food and great customer service. Really relaxed atmosphere but all safety measures in place.

Greeted by friendly staff and shown straight to our table. The food was plentiful and very tasty although a sauce was not available for my wife's meal and the replacement garlic mushroom one was not very nice. That said the landlord was very understanding and apologetic and even gave my wife a glass of wine to compensate. We intend to go back very soon.

3 Stars I would give more seriously because the owners are so friendly, but this one woman when I turned up for the England Vs Scotland game, interrogated me and belittled me because I didn't know which of my mates had booked the table. She gave such a disgust look and spoke with such attitude. Her customer service was terribly and then the new girl who's first day was that same day was the most friendly member of staff. The night was good and the new member (Lauren I believe not sure tho) served our section of the pub throughout the game and her service was 10 out of 10. Like I said would be 5 stars but a shame about the woman at the start. Not a great way to great a new customer is it really?

Food good, but kids running round

We ate here last night. Meal was Lovely. Staff were very attentive and drinks were Great . Service Brilliant. We will Definately return x

Nice friendly staff and delicious food, although the sharing starter only had 3 pieces of chicken on it!

The worst meal I had in years, since when do you put sliced peppers in a prawn cocktail?? The was only lettuce and peppers in the prawn cocktail, when I trained as a chef that would have gotten me in to trouble if I had served it. The bacon steak which I was told was a gammon steak, was a pork chop swimming in grease. To be honest we just eat the meal and left. But I will never go back again and would strongly recommend anyone to stay away. If I could give this a minus rating I would.

Great to have TV outside. Watched football. Fantastic table service from Clare.

Great, kiera lovely, and charlotte.

Bit pricey but ok good service very polite

Lovely staff, great outdoor seating area with TV. Had to wait ages for food but was worth the wait as it was delicious. Will definitely be back to try their Sunday carvery. Thanks ladies and gent! 👍🏻

Lovely friendly staff & food was great.

Another really delicious takeaway Sunday lunch. A great variety of vegetables with tasty meat and yorkshires. All with the added benefit of not having to cook and minimal washing up.

Requested a Sunday Lunch to take away to support my local pub, didn’t know what to expect having never had a take away Sunday lunch. I was extremely happy with what I ordered and the quality of what I received. Amazing experience will definitely order another. Well done The Shire Oak pub.

Very clean foodvery nice and welcome too

Very nice place, well laid out, excellent outside area, staff really helpful and decent, enjoyed first visit with work colleagues, will go again and highly recommend, thank you

Still only the same three bog standard real ales, still also never kept well, they are just about drinkable but certainly nowhere near as good as they should be. Entrance through the front of the pub. Exit through the side door into the beer garden then out that way. Fairly busy inside. Sports shown on TV. Smaller rear car park left, still an ok size, as what was the front car park has being sold to make two houses on. Toilets to rear of the pub. Food still being served, but couldn’t see any menus about to peruse.

Popped in to shelter from the rain, great food. Great beer. Friendly barmaid👍

Social distancing plenty of space, felt comfortable

Dropped in on Wednesday lunchtime on the off chance to see if any food was being served. Glad I did. Pub is clean, bright and airy. Food is your typical Pub grub and I opted for their traditional steak and ale pie. It was actually super tasty, chips excellent and a decent amount of gravy. Looked after by young lady ( Ashley ) who was friendly, polite and very helpful and attentive. I only very rarely visit the area but heartily recommend the place. Thanks Roger

Good hammer up house (Good boozer)

Visited The Shire Oak Pub, for the first time since lockdown, and it was a little subdued like many pubs and restaurants at the moment. Would like to say it was wonderful to see Anya, Ash and the team once more, and the food served today was delicious. The staff have always worked tirelessly hard, and deserve much credit. Love from Stu, Viv and Erin ❤

Nice cosy pub with welcoming friendly staff. Great for meals and for evening drinks. Always an enjoyable visit.

Fantastic food and equally fantastic service

Just passing called in for lunch garlic chicken jacket potato salad potato hot on top cold in middle microwaved salad brown, chicken ok bit small hubby had bangers mash says butchers sausage they were cheapest catering sausage disgusting would not go again the lady behind bar was lovley and polite though

Yesterday I have my cousin from Scotland come to visit us and want to take me and my daughter out for Sunday lunch so we pick this pub for lunch, when we finish and come to the payment time the pub staff refused to take Scottish note. In front of everyone they was so embarrassed and I end up have to change the money for my cousin!!! That is so wrong! We are all British!. And I talk to the manager of the pub I changed the Scottish note to ENGLISH note for my cousin and I said I will have to do a review on your page and she said it up to me not a big deal!!!

The food was very good and very good prices Guinness with the best Guinness I've tried in a long while thanks

Nice pub, great food and friendly staff

Great pub, and wonderful friendly staff. Food is good. Try the Moretti lager. It is one of the best pints of lager in the area. They have live bands on some Saturdays. This pub has a nice outside area also ...Ania your a 🌟

We popped in off the cuff the pub was very busy but we didn’t have to wait long to be served . We waited about 5 minutes then were shown to a table and looked after by Anya . All our food was piping hot and delicious we will be going again soon .

We had passed by many times without going in but decided to give it a try. Booked a table & was shown to it as soon as we arrived. Ordered food & drinks at the bar where we were advised of a 35min wait for food. Food was piping hot & extremely tasty. Service was good, staff extremely friendly, nice atmosphere. Will definitely go in again soon!

I took my mum and dad here for a Sunday lunch recently for their birthdays. I must say that the food is absolutely faultless. I often eat in a pub in Bham that is renowned for 'the best Sunday lunch in Bham' but I have to say the food at the Shire Oak is way better!! Meat n veg cooked to perfection, sticky toffee pud was absolutely delightful and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Unless we're talking Michelin star I really think this is the best Sunday grub that I have had around Bham / Midlands......good work!!! 10/10.

I came here on New Year’s Eve for my first time and it did not disappoint. The disco was great, staff very friendly and got served with minimal waiting even when busy. My step dad and 11 year old also had a great night. I will definitely be returning more regularly!

Very good new people managing it now, nothing is too much trouble for them.

My husband and I were treated to Sunday lunch today by our son for our birthdays. This was our third visit, but the first since it has changed hands. Nevertheless the food was excellent, as before. Disappointed that choice of meat was limited but we will specify our choice next time we book to ensure our preference. Nevertheless the beef and turkey were delicious. Staff were friendly and welcoming and we would definitely recommend to friends.

First time.. Late Sunday lunch... Food was very good, beer was not great. The Wainwright's was not on, Doombar was lacking the depth of freshness. Staff were friendly but too young to be comfortable with customer interaction. On the whole not a bad place we will try it again before we give it any deserved negative feed back.

First visit for years and has markedly improved in terms of decore, food and atmosphere.

Lovely place and very welcoming atmosphere. The manageress was perfect and made is feel at home. Great service.
