The Vine in Sandwell - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It has very great food. 👍 So authentic. I bet it has similar tasting food to The Glassy Junction in Wolverhampton.

Unfortunately this place is not what it used to be. We were please to see different mixed grills were now on the menu but they just aren’t the same as other places which is a shame (the lamb chops were good though). The tandoori naans were thin and burnt and went hard after 5mins (they used to be so nice and fluffy one upon a time). There are no baby changing facilities for mothers/fathers so they have no choice but to do it on the seating area in the restaurant. Lastly, we were celebrating a birthday and although we were allowed to bring the cake out (it was a small one!) we were not allowed to consume it. We were told it was fine by one person but then another said no! They had some rubbish about allergies. This is rubbish as they have an allergy note up by the bar. All restaurants I’ve been too allow birthday cakes to be served. This put a real dampner on the evening. I’ve been going to the Vine for around 32 years now, when it used to have plastic picnic tables tables and grill items were served on foam plates. Unfortunately, we won’t be going back now.

Food was wonderful, very fast service and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Popped in for a quick business lunch and was really pleasantly surprised. I can recommend the chicken tikka wrap.

Good quality food but at bit expensive

What a little gem, Amazing food staff are amazing also.

Away fan gone to the game today. Food, drinks and service were all excellent. 15 min walk to the ground, would recommend to any fan at West Brom, or anyone in the area

Can't say anymore... Excellent..

Lovely bbq delicious curry's relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff Always feel welcome

Went for a colleague's retirement lunch, had the lamb claypot curry. Curry was very tasty and just the right amount of spice, there was just a bit too much sauce with it.

Food was good but not as good as before when the original man was there. The food part closed really early not like before. Still decent place to eat though

I went to the Vine with a group of friends, we shared a few different dishes including the chicken tikka, garlic naan, lamb saag and chicken clay pot, couldn’t fault any of the food and the service is very good with friendly staff. A good sized beer garden with plenty of seating as well.

Take out work lunch, fantastic food, ready when I arrived and still hot when arrived back to the office 1 mile plus away. Friendly servers, ample parking.

Came here for 4pm, bang on opening time. Ordered the large mixed grill, Peshwari naan and chips. Everything was spot on. Incredible flavours, service, cleanliness. Decent price. Highly recommend.

If you enjoy a real old school BBQ This is the place to go. Traditional Indian food and bbq. Long running pub from the 80s from what I can remember. Nice family pub l. Friendly staff.

Still the best chicken tikka around

Food is great every time I eat here.

Absolutely beautiful food and friendly staff. Excellent selection of drinks on tap. Will definitely be coming back 👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The original desi pub. It's not as busy as it used to be apart from match days of course. It's a shame that the vine could not keep that cheap and cheerful vibe. It's gone more up market and so have the prices. This combined with cost of living crisis means the vine has become a treat instead of where we would come for a cheap eat mid week. I still love the chicken tikka and spice on the methi chicken is next level. Best day to visit is the last Thursday of the month for the spit roast chicken.

Great mixed grill. Very friendly staff.

A decent desi pub offering some great tandoori grills and curries. One of many good places to visit these days, but this is apparently one of the originals. Very easy to get to from Birmingham city centre on the tram, getting off at Kenrick Park. Jaipur ale was available on cask when we visited and it was in good condition.

If you're near Birmingham looking for a curry then try the vine! Amazing food in a lovely setting. A great selection of curries, sides and drinks. The mixed grill was unreal!

First time here and couldn’t recommend enough! Food was amazing and so quick. Such a good feel about the place and will be back!!! 5*

Over priced!! Butter chicken had tooo much colouring , left with orange fingers ! Even after washing the colouring still on

Delicious food. I ordered goat curry and it was very good.

Great food well worth a visit gets very Busy on a match day

My lorry was broken down in Scania Keltruck on the other side of the M5 so I had a venture out to the bright lights of Las Brom and I stumbled across The Vine. So it was time for a treat! Lamb chilli curry and pilau rice for me!!! The family of four on the table next to me had wraps that were massive and Mum could not finish it. Anyway, sample the brown minty sauce, it's ace! Look at my other reviews to see where I've been!

wonderful atmosphere - friendly and attentive staff - seem to go over and above to be helpful. Great food and reasonably priced - whats not to like? Was also here for a stag last month - promised the wife to take her to see what the boys had been up to - she loves it too.

Been coming here for 30+ years...consistently good food, good value for money ..the original and by far the best desi pub in the area.....long may it continue 😀

Visited when the football was on. There is no noise dampening in the main areas so you lose your voice and hearing. Food is very very basic but freshly cooked. Staff do their best but the queues are literally out the door. Could do with someone just selling cans - it’s the pouring of pints that causes the hold ups.

Absolutely amazing place to eat.

Sadly I think the Vine is a victim of its own success. On matchdays it is now so overrun that they can't cope. Beer runs out, queues are ridiculous. Really no fun at all now.

Our favourite place to eat. Excellent food, service and friendly staff. Food never disappoints. Chicken tikka from the BBQ is the best ever.

Great drink, great fresh food! Come here regularly and the food and service is always on point. Highly recommended!

What can I say. Possibly the best tika out there. And the brown sauce is something else. Great setting with friendly staff. 10/10

I’ve used the Vine many times for football matches at West Brom and up until today it had a good range of real ales complimented with good Curries. They have one real ale on now and the Chicken Biryiani was napalm hot and the chicken wasn’t the best. I’ve got to be honest It’s really put me off coming again next season / I’ll see what the reviews are like before making a final decision - but this was a huge disappointment on this occasion. 😞

Everything was perfect tbh just alot of tables where reserved and was walking around for a while trying to find a table seems like alot of tables are close together but food was on point and filling fair prices hot fresh and quick.

Went on a quiet night food was great beer was good .cannot commentbon atmosphere ad a Tuesday night

Fantastic experience well worth it.thanks.

Lovely place and lovely food. However, it's very expensive now for what it is. The naan bread is like a chapati. The dips and poppadoms are no longer free. And the portions are a lot smaller.

Tasty food, great atmosphere and good prices. Such a shame they don't offer any veggie options other than chips on a match day!

Nice food. But a few other things left a bitter taste in the mouth (no pun intended). Drinks prices. Rip off. £1.60 for a small squash for my son! £2.50 for dips to go with poppadoms! And they're only half full when you get them. Free everywhere else we go. Took leftovers home so asked for a pot of mint sauce to take. Was told by barman that they have to charge for these. Our table had collectively just spent £150 on food and drinks and they can't give you a pot of mint?! Service not the friendliest so will probably take our money elsewhere next time

Lovely food, decent real ale, really quick service 👌

Cracking pub and great curry and kebab excellent prices. Away fans welcome.

I do not ever leave reviews, but when something is so bad it needs to be said and people need to be aware. Do not eat here if you have any allergies, they will not care to help you, do not have an allergen menu and simply told us, if you have an allergy we can't serve you. Never have I ever heard such nonsense. The lady from the kitchen was extremely rude and did not even care. She couldn't even be bothered to make chips in fresh oil saying it wasn't possible. The only thing I can take from that is they have no fresh oil. The waiting staff spent more time talking to each other at the bar than they did serving us, so much so we went up to the bar to get our own drinks. And for the price they charge it's an absolute disgrace. We visit various restaurants monthly and have a list of restaurants that we rotate, every so often trying a new place. This most certainly will not be added to the list. Personally I'd say avoid at all costs, but each to their own and if you visit, good luck.

Great night, excellent food, great service

Great food! Are grilled soya kebab as a main and I'd definitely recommend it to you if you are not eating meat that day

Lovely meal, very quick service

The vine has always been a fantastic place to go for indian cuisine. I love the mixed grills.

We ordered 2 mixed grills and when they came one was hot and one was freezing cold. So we made the owner aware and he sent it back. 5 mins later the same plate of food was bought back (I knew it was the same because of the piece of chicken I spat out on the plate was still there.) The food had been re-warmed in a microwave and when we asked the owner he said well what do you want me to do. Absolutely disgusting!!!!!!!!! Will never eat here again!

Some of the best barbeque based Indian food I've ever had.

Lovely Indian food that arrived quickly and was relatively cheap too.

Great atmosphere and unbeatable food!

Do not eat here if you have a nut allergy! I ordered food, advising I had a nut allergy and they still decided to cook my food in nut oil. I had an allergic reaction and was in pain for days, management couldn’t care less and just advised that the EHO was happy with their practices.

First time visiting and it will not be the last. Found a table easy and it was very busy too and I now know why! Food is out of this world fresh hot and tasty. Cannot fault the place. I was recommended to try the vine by my friend who has been loads of times in fact they are regulars. Staff are so friendly and are happy to help with anything nothing is too much trouble. Found somewhere to park even though as I said it was super busy We will be back

Great place.. its not glamorous but it's fab. Food is brilliant and the atmosphere is friendly and buzzing. Always a great time. 👍

Wow what and amazing pub/ restaurant this is. Was staying at the nearby Mercure hotel so went to the vine with some work colleagues. The food was outstanding! Can seriously recommend the goat curry. Don’t worry about starters as the portions are generous. Will definitely be back

Best curry and indoor BBQ in the universe. And now with some extra menu choices! Avoid Albion home match days as gets crowded, otherwise ...... why have you not been yet???!

Matchday - 8pm kick off v Southampton. Toilets were absolutely filthy and that was around 4.30pm… before more people arrived! The Indian BBQ is way overpriced. The lamb was bland, chicken cheap and rubbery, nann bread was dry and the chips were stone cold. No wonder the chips were cold - they were piled onto plates just sat on the side! The service at the bar was ok. Bouncers were to busy trying to keep a flow in the pub rather than sort the men in the garden doing drugs on the patio tables. Need heaters outside to keep punters warm. Sadly there were far too many people let into the establishment which made it unbearable at times. Shame as this place has a lot of potential but it seems to me that they are too money orientated.

Been coming here for over 25 years, grill food is fantastic and the spit roast chicken on the 1st Thursday of each month is the best.

This has become a regular haunt on our football travels when we have an away game at West Bromwich Albion FC. Visited here on numerous occasions but this time it was a non-football event. Obviously it was very quite compared to normal match day atmosphere (that's why I've only given it a 3 star rating for atmosphere), which has always been very good, but food & drink didn't disappoint as usual. My wife & I had the claypot dishes with that lovely velvety texture & wonderful taste, chicken for her & lamb for me, & her brother had the chicken dhansak. We all had pilau rice & one plain nann between us which are always beautifully cooked & buttery. Add the lovely Holdens Golden Glow beer to it & it was another worthwhile visit to this excellent establishment. Visited 10/02/2024

Great on match days or when eating out with family and friends. Delicious food, served quickly by friendly staff

I've been going here since I was a child but if it's not a match day there is no atmosphere and the food doesn't seem as good . It is very spicy if you have anything from the grill. Can be rather expensive too if you have a bit of everything. Parking is now alot better now that they have a private car park at the rear. Drinks rather expensive . I feel like it's lost its authenticity. I much prefer it when you go to the grill and order your food rather than at the bar.

Very disappointed £16.99 for a boneless mix grill that didn’t include the full chicken options as advertised on there menu but substituted with lamb kebab but didnt know this until we got home as ordered a collection won’t be ordering again as not enough to feed two people!!! To also be charged more for the brown mint sauce on a lunch time compared to an evening is absolutely ridiculous!

Lovely food. Would come here again.

Went before west brom game . Get in early because it was packed

What an amazing place, food, beer, atmosphere and price.

Good food in a very family friendly atmosphere.

Food and beer are now getting to be quite expensive at the Vine.

Superb pre Baggies Match Balti and real cask ale.... Tasty well cooked Balti and nan.... Excellent quick service at bar and food to table. First look you think I'll never get served..... But its very well organised.... 250 plus fans plenty of seating, and standing....... Great atmosphere. Boing Boing.Baggies!!

Fantastic pub for food and pint before going to WBA

Nice place, good service and clean.

Excellent food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Great curry! Great service and staff Hidden gem in West brom! Atmosphere is what you expect for the area.

Great food very reasonably priced. Work reccomend.

a lovely place to go for food and a meet up always a friendly welcome

I had heard alot about the Vine. The place itself is nice, staff friendly but the food is not good, not authentic and tasted of chilli had nothing else. Overall I wouldn't go back by choice.

I was recommend to go there to have meal for my birthday. I ordered of the menu and korma for the kids tikka masala and bryiani. The chicken was soo though not eatable at all. We left the chicken on our plate and we tried to speak to the person in charge. He was arguing with me that chicken can’t be though to eat. He was very determined I told him would like to try the food! He said I never received any complaint. I said this is the last thing I want to say I paid £57 for my meals in there defo not worth it. I mean how do you speak to your customer the waitress brought the food that was it never asked if the food was ok. I would have told her but never go back there again disappointed.

Visited The Vine recently to try their vegetarian options. Unfortunately the soya tikka was unavailable so had to try another option. It took a while to come out but it was worth the wait. The service was friendly and welcoming, just wish they had more vegetarian options!

Great pub especially busy on match days well worth going before hand. Great atmosphere and friendly

A fantastic grill menu with such well flavoured meats

Outstanding, the grill food is so delicious. The bar was great too, maybe more craft beer 😉

Best place to have curry and beer their grill is ome the best in town. A gem hidden in plain sight

Had a lovely meal, great staff especially kenzie who helped us order and was an absolute gent. Give that lad a payrise, brilliant service

I haven't eaten here in a while but when I did, the food was delicious and plenty of it. I came for a few drinks and since my last visit, they have had an upgrade, new seating etc. It's a lovely little pub, nice relaxed atmosphere. I shall definitely return and may even have a curry next time

Fantastic pub who welcomes away fans food was incredible and very good parking outside

Always a must on 'Match Day'! Staff are excellent and pub has had a recent refurbishment.

Fantastic food, brilliant pre-match experience

Very delicious food and really had good time spending with office people....

Had ... korma with egg rice... It was really nice, and the price was reasonable...

Went back to the old stomping ground only to find out no keema nalti no more :,( had chicken instead, still pukka

1st visit and will not be the last.

Famed for its barbecue, standard curries are also amazing

Came here with family. Overheard management swearing at this gentleman who was requesting a refund for overcooked food. Whatever the complaint fully entailed, you should never actually swear at a customer. Absolutely disgusted. Never have I actually heard such disrespect and bad language towards a customer. Management was absolutely vile. The rude lady manager was extremely unprofessional and abusive. Won't be returning to this establishment to hear such foul language.

Made us feel welcome 1st time eating here .. for was all hot & fresh Thank you we will return

Fantastic as always. + love the changes inside. It all looks lovely !

Spot on pub it's my and Wifey's local friendly staff and owner good people,always made welcome even though I'm a wolves fan never bad word said always feel welcome there

Will have to give this place another to sample the food, but the place overall was very welcoming and had a lot of character . Not sure it's in the best location but worthy of another visit

This is a massive place with copious seating indoors, in a large conservatory area and a few tables outside - though this is more of a smoking area so not great if you want to enjoy a meal in the sun without cigarette smoke. Everything is clean and well maintained and the service is extremely efficient. The food is really tasty and you can watch the chefs at work through an acrylic screen. A pet hate of mine is plates being cleared from the table before all parties have finished eating. It puts pressure on the diners who haven't finished, to finish. We only ordered one course - ok, 3 dishes, but they all came together. There were only 2 of us eating. We were asked 4 times if we'd finished with any plates and each time, articles were removed from the table. I understand that the place gets really busy on football match days (I've never encountered this myself, but have been told so) and so they need to speed covers through to increase the throughput of the restaurant, but they must have been running at about 10-15% capacity when we visited so this was not necessary and made me feel very pressured. For this reason, and the smoky outdoor area, I've docked them a star. The food however is genuinely lovely.

I ordered chiken Claypool MD BBQ wings ....ND it was one of the worst chikn I had In my life...yuckkk wings ...terrible steamed wings with turmeric taste nly nothing no seasonings hell
