The Yew Tree Bar & Restaurant in Sandwell

Absolutely banging!! We had a desi special pizza, lamb chops crispy chilli chips amd curry sauce, WOW this is my new favourite place to eat best pizza I've ever had in my life! Beer was cheap food prices reasonable for what it was will be coming back here again, and again and again!!!!

Good quick service here at Yew Tree inn, good prices too. Mixie was nice, Achari chicken, prawns and fish pakora were very good. Curry wasn’t the best we’ve had, naan was very nice. Would possibly return when in the area.

This is the second time we have visited the yew tree, we came back as the food was amazing on our first visit that we had to come again and we were not disappointed. This has to be one of the best mixed grill places in bham and also affordable

From garlic naan breads that’s devoid of garlic, to tasteless curries and tasteless mixed grills. It’s a busy place and I can’t work out why. The atmosphere is quite good, but everything else is very bland. And quite pricey. There’s at least 10 better places in the area. My personal favourite is the spinney in charlemont. 100 x better and not very busy, it really makes no sense 😳

Menus overpriced small portions if you like curry or mixed grill fine wouldn't go again be prepared for lots of noise reminds me of a medieval tavern

We were a family group of 10, we enjoyed the food and it is what you expect from a desi pub. Unfortunately it was a Saturday night and very busy, so grabbing a member of staff to try and locate our pre-booked table was a bit of a challenge. We were in a booth so away from the rest of the pub, but it was very loud. Bit of an experience going and ordering / paying for your own food from the kitchen - but it was fine. It hasn’t put us off because we enjoyed the food and we will probably visit again !

Ordered from here for the first and last time. Totally mixed up my order and put the wrong sauces on the wrong wraps. The conseqeunce of this was a yoghurt sauce on a vegan soya wrap and my vegan partner having nothing he could eat. The restaourant did not apologise and were unintrested. Just told us to go through just eat for a refund and wouldn't aknowledge their error or send the right food. Insult to injury that the wrong food that was sent was poor quality.

Came here for dinner, the fish pakora was really good. Quick service and the staff were really friendly

Food came on time but no salad sauces or chutney. Called them and spoke to three people who just kept saying I’m sorry about that, I said it’s ok to be sorry but I nave no sauces to dip and no salad for the popadoms and mixed grill. Then someone came on the phone and said “ come and fetch some “. I explained that is not an option and that’s why I had delivered. Then a gentleman came on and said he would drop some off…….. did he …….. NO. just saiD that to fob me off ( after waiting for 10-15 mins we started to eat as nothing had come - by then food was practically cold).

We are a family of four and book up every week.Great to be back in The Yew Tree and enjoying there dishes.My personal favourite is Lamb balti with mushroom rice. Waiting time around 15 minutes.A big thank you to all staff and owners for a pleasent experience.

Our first trip back after the reopening following lockdown. Still lots of safety precautions in place. Masks until seated, everyone signs in and sanitises their hands. We were seated offered drinks, which were brought straight to us. We all ordered our starters and meals. Starters took about 10 minutes and about 30 minutes for our main meals so all nicely timed. The man serving us was polite and made sure we were enjoying our meal and had everything we needed. This place has a great atmosphere, music TVs or sports depending what's on. Comfortable, heating was on as it was colder weather. There are also nice individual booths on the far side as well as a large restaurant area. The restaurant serves Indian food, but also serves pizza and has a children's menu. Today's dinners enjoyed a few fish dishes, chicken tikka sizzling. Soya vegetable curry and chicken bhuna. Egg fried rice, salad's, naan breads, chips, Popadoms etc .All very tasty with the most amazing crispy chilli chips dish which everyone loved. If you're looking for somewhere relaxing and easy going to eat out this is the place. Clean, comfortable, nice staff. Amazing food. Well worth a visit.

We were looking around for somewhere to enjoy a nice meal out when I remembered eating here once so we booked a table not really knowing what to expect now, we were not disappointed the food was as good as the reviews said it would be. One of our party is a pescatarian who ordered the fish curry and raved about it. We ordered different dishes to try, the fish pakora was delicious as was the masala sauce. The food arrived hot and was simply delicious. Everyone in our party were impressed with the quality of all the dishes, we tried vegetarian, fish and meat dishes and all were very enjoyable. We're booking to go back again really soon and this will definitely be added to our favourite restaurants! Safety is taken seriously, tables were clean, one of our party asked for a menu to be wiped over but that's the only slight thing noticed. This restaurant is lovely, it will be nice when Covid is under control to be able to have a big family get together and this would definitely be a restaurant of choice to treat everyone! If you're looking for a really tasty restaurant to take family or friends out for a treat look no further. TVs are all around, individual TVs in booths but all at a low level so conversation can be heard. It's nice to go to a pub where you can enjoy the background music but hear each other. It's a nice relaxing pub to enjoy delicious dishes, I'm looking forward to trying even more dishes when we go again and with food this tasty we will be making regular visits.

Have been here a few times but won't go back after tonight. All tables were reserved at 4.30pm for 7.30pm ish. Went to sit at a table with 3 hours left on it only to be told to move. Seriously! You can't keep tables so far in advance. I did see them turning people away. Their loss I suppose. Ordered mixed grill which was fine. Sweet chilli chicken which I specifically asked for mild. Well it was so spicy it was inedible. It made my husband bad and he had to sit outside. We left swiftly after this due to him being ill. Such a shame as we have had many a nice meal but if it makes you ill its not worth it.

My family and I come here all the time , at least once a week but usually more , we have had almost all the dishes which are beautifully cooked and of good size and quality ,from the mixed grills to the curries the standard is excellent 👌🏼 . The tables are always clean and tidy and if not at very busy times they will sort it immediately. The staff are friendly , helpful and polite , and I would go nowhere else locally for authentic Indian food xx

Beautiful food, well priced, good service had small mixed grill, chicken balti chips and rice cooked perfect very fast service and very clean establishment can not fault at all will definitely be going back

Found this lovely place today, food was lovely we had a mixed grill, masala chips, 2 naans and a chicken curry and it all only costed £19.50 had plenty of the mixed grill to spare to take home too! I would highly recommend this place the curry was delicious and the mixed grill too, I’ve been to plenty of mixed grill pubs to know what’s good and what’s not. Interior is nice too and warm, sometimes you go to these pubs and it’s cold in them but not this one!

Was ok for me food good but wife said it was to hot as she asked for a mild curry very it came out hot find other similar curry pubs this come 2nd to some think the chefs need to sort it out but food ok like decorator and every think of the look so all in all think with a visit

Went on Monday bank holiday nice place plenty of parking beer prices are reasonable same as the food which arrived without having to wait very long the mixed grill was plentiful we had the boneless grill the balti had plenty of lamb in it but was a bit too spicy for us maybe next time ask for mild would I go back yes but there are a lot more pubs to try first

Cheap and tasty food always, and great place to watch football and have tikka curry etc portion sizes are big also

we meet here for a cracking curry and a few pints among friends on many occasions large portions as well, the food is a1 5 star top jolly in my view. caffreys is a great pint to.the grills are outstanding to, well done to one and all there staff polite and friendly what more could you ask for top notch

Reluctantly gave my regular (Champys/Bradford arms) in Walsall a miss to try this on recommendation. There were some positives, such as the king prawns, naan bread, price and the overall cleanliness of the place,but that is where they end. I do not know if the one in Walsall is that good or this was that poor, the chicken tikka masala tasted like tomato soup and the mixed grill was served on raw bed of onions. The onions were a disappointment as every other skillet mixed grill I have had has been hot enough to cook them and they become a nice side to the dish. Raw onions are not to my liking so I left them and at the end of the meal the skillet was swimming in a juice like substance awash with soggy onions. Overall, it was not a disaster but not a place I would visit even if the meal was free due to the bland taste of the food.

Excellent food.large portionsfantastic staff.boxing on tv screens bonus.come here every week.will come again

Visited yew tree a few times over the last year or so... it's always been great but the new menu choices were really good. Normally visit other local places with work colleagues but this time we thought we'd come back here after a friend said to try their new family platter. I was very impressed with the value for money... a lot of good food and we were very satisfied for £15 a head with drinks... will be returning with family.

We met here with a small group of friends (on a weekday evening) I wasn't really that taken by the choices on the menu, we went for the family grill with vegetable biryani, the grill arrived on a sizzling hotplate and was a decent amount, it just seemed though everything was too like for like and overcooked, just seemed a big mess all thrown together, the king prawn was inedible, the biryani sauce was too spicy even though we asked for mild to medium, our nan bread was quite dry, the rice was ok and a large portion. the menu said it came with salad and chutney, but the so called chutney was none existent it was actually yoghurty green sauce, can't see how they can still list it as chutney on the menu. It was football night on the numerous tv;s that swamped the whole eating area, spoilt it for me as not everyone wants to be surrounded by it. I wouldn't go here again mainly as the food ovevrall was not that nice

There was only one veg option (paneer tikka), the rest were fried with meat. The ambience wasn't great nor was the food. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately.

food is excellent staff v.good will be going again very soon had chicken balti it was superb cooked fresh for you, beware it gets very busy so go early or book a table

Anyone who knows their food will understand that a good eatery, whether its a simple food stall, local chip shop, normal restaurant or a high end Michelin starred place with the pomp and extravagance that comes with the label, its the combination of the simple things done very well in exactly the same way every single time, in pleasant surroundings with attentive (but not overbearing) service, at a price that justifies the satisfaction that comes with the meal.

Sports bar and very very busy at weekends. Good food, made quickly and fresh. Enormous portions . Indian cuisine but also sell freshly made pizza which seem very popular. Not impressed with the wine choice but it is also a bar and they seem to cater more for the sports type. Beer and curry.

Attend the yew tree pub every Wednesday evening. Never have a fault in the food that is served. Very impressed and will highly recommend to others. Only thing that lets this pub down is that they no longer serve strongbow dark fruits.

I had not visited this Pub for a very long time, friends had reccomended it as it had changed ownership.

This was recommended heavily by family and friends so had to give it a whirl. The Yew Tree was a popular pub in its heyday when pubs were doing much more business than they do today . It now retains the basic features of a pub but is kitted out with dining tables and an open plan kitchen on the one side of the room. The idea is you can have a pint and order a curry at the same time instead of having to visit your local Indian restaurant after s few bevvies. Sounds great but don’t expect the frills and ambience of said restaurant. Remember you are in a pub with a pub atmosphere especially when there are tv screens all around showing sports or music programs.

£25 for a mixed plate of chicken,tikka lamb,fish and sheek,drinks for 2 and rice with naan too,so couldn't complain,was great food,great price and quiet too.

Very cold in there was like a barn.very basic room not welcoming at all.i had a Korma didn't taste like a Korma at all. Hubby and son enjoyed their food but they were also cold and didn't like the inside.i wouldn't return to be honest

I have visited the Yew Tree with both my family and friends. The food is brilliant and is consistently tasty every time I visit! Great atmosphere and a great bar too.

haven't visited the Yew Tree in 15+ years. Not tried since this particular place since new owners took it over, so we decided to give it a try.

Being here a few times before.food being very good.so came again.only thing i can say service very slow.only got one person serving.when u finish starter.you have to call someone to clear the table.even to wipe the table.which they should do automatically.on this visit the starter was good as usual.but the main course was very disapointing.the curries were greasy.the chips werre really dry and hard.service was once again slow.do not knoe what as happened but standard as gone down so much.do not think i will be comming back soon.

The food was excellent and the restaurant is modern and very clean,

I have dined here on several occasions over the past few weeks when it was bought to my attention by some family members who recommended it. I was not left disappointed as I have been here 4 times now and tried different dishes and all have been equally as good. The curries here are by far the best I have tasted, you can tell they are homemade and have a authentic texture to them, not like some of the overly creamy sauces you get elsewhere. You cannot beat the pricing either, starters approx. £4, sides approx. £1 and mains approx. £6, you can even get a bottle of wine for £5! It is a relaxed atmosphere with sports playing on a number of TV's, the venue is child friendly and cater for large groups (having just celebrated my cousin's birthday here). I cannot express how well they have got this restaurant right both in terms of the food, the pricing, the décor, the menu etc. Definitely worth a visit.

Went for first time.after reading reviews.went with my son.the resturant was newly done out.very modern with tv screens in each corner.we got there abt 6.30.was guite.had a few drinks first then ordered a medium mix grill.i must say i was impressed food came piping hot.came with chuntney's and fresh salad.the food was very tasty .you could taste the spices.not like some mix grills which taste so bland.will b comming bac to try the curries.it started to get busy when we were abt to leave around 8.30.the kitchen is open plan so you can see the chefs cooking the food.plently of parking .bar staff were polite.overall very good experience.

Lovely meal with lots to choice from and you can even ask the chef to cook it how you like it if you have different taste. cheap drinks and a great service. Great place to take the family or friends

Very clean, very friendly, service was brilliant and food was even better. Probably the best chicken bhuna I've had in a long time. Reasonably priced and great atmosphere. Will definitely be using again.

First impressions of the Yew Tree pub were good, It had a modern Interior which was done to a good standard with an open plan kitchen and a large car park. The chicken tikka sizzler was good as were the accompanying dips and salad. The main fish curry was very salty and the fish pieces had the skin left on which spoilt the meal. We also ordered a lamb Balti and lamb saag which were also very salty as well. Take a look at my other reviews for local curries houses which serve far better meals.

I've eaten at a lot of Indian mix grill pubs in Birmingham and yew tree never fails on taste! The grill is always freshly prepared (not like these busy places that make their food beforehand) and the chicken saag is to die for. Definitely my favourite place for a mix grill and a curry. Also the chilli chips here are perfect.

We ate here as a family for the first time the other evening. Nice friendly atmosphere good attentive staff. Food was fresh and really tasty, good portions. This place deserves more people leaving reviews as it needs to be in the top sector for sure.

Great food and prompt service, normally tell you the waiting times... only issues is there portion sizes seem to go up and down the more often you visit.

What can I say , great food cooked fresh again , staff always fantastic here . My local , this is one of the best places in west bromwich for curry

Easily the best food friendly staff Don't be fooled by best food ranking In pubs as being N0..1..2...etc etc... Just come and see for yourselfs. ...

Nice, spacious restaurant kept clean. I had the prawn biriani, the portion size was big, similarly there were plenty of large prawns. We arrived at 6 o'clock with plenty of choice where to sit however tables were quickly taken and the restaurant was full when we left at 8 o'clock.

I will admit this is my local pub, the place is great and is good for everyone. The restaurant does great well priced and flavoured food, cooked in an open plan kitchen and despite living locally we eat here regularly.

Got to say I love this place , the food is fantastic and cooked fresh and also get the dips and salad with your meal and the price is good , been to the vine west bromwich and there it seems like or they want to do is put there prices up and I think there food isn't all that . Staff at the yew tree are great and will do anything for you , love to see this place packed every week with people because it deserves it . I'm going again tonight .

Having noticed the refurb taking place and rave reviews from friends I was eager to try out the much talked about Yew Tree and particularly the large mixed grill.

Really nice n spacious n get ur moneys worth and also have kids english meals which is good as some kids dont like indian/chinese meals will go again

The Yew Tree simply is a first rate experience for a punjabi mixed grill pub. I have been to over 25 of these sorts of pubs over decades and in my opinion the Yew Tree has all the potential to be the best. The customer service is second to none from both bar staff and the chefs. Food is consistently good and comes out fresh, piping hot and with little waiting time. The taste of the food is authentic and their is also a few indo asian options which are superb. The owner has clearly spent a lot of money on making the Yew Tree a family friendly, welcoming pub. I have visited on several occasions with my young family (4 kids) and parents who are all comfortable in these surroundings. It is because of all of the above the Yew Tree is now my first choice whenever I fancy a curry n grill. Give it a go you wont be disappointed!

Went there with wife daughter and her partner for my birthday meal.This is pub ive used 30 years ago they have changed the in lounge part moving the bar over to the other side.lovely and clean the food was very good with Sean saying it was the best chicken Madras he had tasted for a long time.Carling is £2-20 a pint Mon to Thu .Service was good with a smile on their faces All in all a nice experience they spent a lot of money on the place well done to them for making my birthday special

Went there after seeing check ins on Facebook.

Visited on a friend's recommendation, 2 days before Christmas. Visited with another mate for food and a couple of beers.

Great food with great value for money. Very friendly staff with a well stocked bar. Certainly worth a visit, as I will definitely be going back again.

We stopped here for a family dinner while in West Brom visiting family. We really enjoyed the food. I love my Indian dishes and ate until I was fully stuffed. We had our kids and their cousins with us as well. They enjoyed their meal as well. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even though the kids got a little rambunctious running around after dinner.

Wonderful family friendly restaurant. Every item on the menu is absolutely breath-taking and cooked to perfection. The staff here are so helpful & give such a great friendly service to my family and me. The Restaurant is very homely and welcomes you with open arms. Big screen tv's showing all the latest sports through Sky Sports & BT Sports. I would recommend this restaurant to all of my friends.
