This place is pure robbery and they know it! It was completely empty and I'm guessing we're the last ones to find out about it. The food is bog standard, straight out of a packet, it's tasteless and terribly over priced. We were actually shocked when we found out the total bill amount, on top of that, there's a 12% service charge!? Madness. On the plus side, the building itself has so much potential and with it being so close to Hollybush garden center, with the right management and presentation, it could be great but what we visited was unacceptable. Regardless of whether or not you had to shut because you couldn't afford the bills, you don't reopen and choose to over charge people. I can't imagine there are many folks that have been here and choose to return but if you do decide to go here, order carefully and check your bill!

Previously visited in 2022 as an overnight stopover in our motorhome, needed to do the same this trip and found the business had changed hands and was now serving an Indian/American menu. The business is relatively new and trying hard to establish and build a reputation, our welcome was warm and friendly. The owner gave us a recommendation for a sharing Chicken dish that was really nicely spiced with real depth of flavour, it was served with orders of pilau rice and Garlic Naan to share that were full of flavour, the service was attentive and informative. We hadn’t expected to find what we did but were pleasantly surprised and left with full bellies due to the kilo of chicken used in the curry, we would not hesitate to visit again.

This is a brilliant pub, we arrived in our campervan on a rainy cold night. We were given such a warm welcome by the manager Daryl, we were allowed to stay overnight on the carpark as we eat and drank in the Pub, we were even given a code for the locked gate so we could leave early. The pub has a great atmosphere and the food is on another level. The chicken tikka masala is fantastic. Honestly one of the best i've ever had. I can honestly 100% recommend this pub even if you are not staying overnight. It the perfect location if you need a break from driving

* Not a fake review* and his response shows an amazing level of childishness, you’ll see from other reviews that he has the inability to accept criticism. Not really sure where to start… we were a table of 7seated on 2 seperate 6 seater tables so we couldn’t be as a group, the waitress said I couldn’t have a glass of lemonade as they didn’t serve it (at that, who I assume was the manager) came and served my glass of lemonade. (What pub/resturaunt doesn’t serve lemonade?!) My squid ring starter (or small plate as they call it) were lovely even though they didn’t come with any dips so were dry. Hense my reason for the extra star. And out of the table of 7 I couldn’t pinpoint a single person who DIDNT have a problem with their food, my partners empire state burger was burnt and dry as hell, and hard enough to knock someone out if it got thrown at them… my chicken’waffles were horrible, I’ve had this dish before at other restaurants and have enjoyed it, but this wasn’t good, the Mac’n’cheese tasted like it was straight from a tin, the chicken was dry and burnt (common theme here) my goddaughters chicken burger was inedible and served along with the starters, my aunties chicken chop suey was served with no chicken, my mothers medium steak was absolutely not cooked medium, it looked I like shoe leather…the stater plates weren’t cleared away before our mains got served and my partners food was served to him a good 10 mins after everyone else’s. I won’t list every issue I had otherwise ide be here all night; the bottom line is I wouldn’t recommend. And when these issues were raised to the ‘chef’ we were met with excuses and changed subjects about his other “restaurants” in London. I appreciate that my grandfather was given a free pint and piece of cake for his birthday but I think him paying for food we actually enjoyed would of been preferable.

Me and my boyfriend came in for a meal tonight. We were greeted by the two lovely Gents who work there. Our Indian Mixed Grill we had was out of the world with so much flavour, and we have tried a lot of mixed grills in the area, this was by far the best. Most of the customers in the restaurant had similar orders and the restaurant was busy, with very quick service. Thank you for being able to seat us in the restaurant and we will back for another mixed grill very soon.

Always a bit alarming to a virtually empty restaurant at 7 in the evening, pleasant guy served us but menu is wildly overpriced, £6 for a portion of Rice !! Food was ok, nothing special, chips are big standard from a packet as was the Popadom. Was ok but then hit with. 12.5% service charge in an empty restaurant. Was stupid enough to accept but that’s me done with this place - there are much much better options

Came here today as online it looks great, however the website is outdated. When we arrived we where greeted by a member of staff wearing a track suit, we got told it was indian or America food only. The website was advertising what previous owener did! We decided to have drinks only and eat elsewhere, we informed staff just drinks only. We got our drinks and because we weren't dining, the waitress came over and waved a card machine in my face saying," my manager sent me over to get you payment". We found the staff rude, scruffy and overall unwelcoming. We drank up left and had a much better experience at Norton Canes Toby Carvery. I would never come back here, definitely avoid!!!

This used to be a great place for a weekday lunch. It's changed hands several times over the last year or do. It's still not up to it's original standards. Service was politely delivered but it took too long for our two meals to arrive. I enquired why there was a delay and was told that one of the meals we had ordered had only just arrived in a delivery...we did watch a lorry deliver so I'm sure that was honest enough. Our meals looked like they had been microwaved from frizen and for £10 per meal they were not value for money. They were listed on the menu under "large plate" meals but were served in a cereal dish sized affair with a tiny salad with two slices of tomatoes, two of cucumber, a slice of lemon and a tablespoons worth of shredded lettuce. Disappointed I'm afraid. Oh and they didn't accept cash....said the staff stole any cash!

Me and my partner came here for a meal. We last came before it got took over and it was amazing. This time was completely different the prices are absolutely through the roof and you can go to lot better places around the area for a lot cheaper. The mile waiter recommended us I what he called signature cocktai only to realise when we got the bill all the ingredients were charged separately and it worked out as £26 for two tiny drinks. When we questioned it he didn't even have the balls to come over and talk to us himself he got the female waitress to explain to us that because it wasn't on the menu every ingredient is charged separately. Also the windows were absolutely filthy so you couldn't even look outside without seeing dirt. This place has been run down since it has been taken over and prices have been put through the roof.

When we arrived there were no other people in the restaurant which should have been a bit of a clue. Last time we came, it was buzzing with atmosphere. The restaurant offers American and Indian - we ordered the Indian which was OK, albeit quite greasy. Our Waiter was really friendly and accommodating. This pub allows park ups overnight which is useful for long drives.

Waited over half an hour for a simple salad, disappointed with the amount and presentation not value for money, this pub was a very busy pub that's why we used it today, but they need to improve service time presentation and value for money. They even the forgot the rice and sweetcorn from one meal. Their Indian food may be better than their English food.

If you want to wait about 2 hours for food then you may actually like this place! For us, I would consider going back if I was completely lost and couldn't find any random berries or unknown mushrooms to eat first ●Booked one month in advance for a special occasion. ●Table for 5 people at 7pm ●Arrived on time, got drinks and asked to order food at 7:20 ●We were advised there would be a 40 minute wait on food because they had a family in the restaurant that also wanted food, I'm sorry you had more than one table to serve! With a 40 minuite wait in mind, we ordered poppadoms to come before the starters/small plates to keep us going ● 1 hour later still nothing ● another 20 minutes after that we asked again and we got told "it was being prepared and would be at least 20 minutes" ● 8:45pm we decided to pay our drinks bill and leave. 1hr 30 mins of waiting and I think the kitchen were still looking for a cow or something in the freezer because we had no poppadoms, no starters/small plates and no mains Heres what I would suggest for anyone planning a visit: ● Don't book because your special occasion and planning isn't important to them ● look through the window and if you can see any other patron and not just your own reflection in the glass, go straight home or to a proper restaurant. I didn't want to leave 0 stars because we didn't actually get chance to sample any food. Maybe it's okay but honestly I'd rather starve in my own home first without wasting a planned evening out with friends After settling our drinks bill we managed to get to a lovely Indian restaurant on Walsall road who went above and beyond with no booking and even with our arrival being past 9pm

First of all would like to say how polite the waitress’s who served us were, and the staff are very friendly. However I booked a table a day in advance, had to wait over an hour for our order to be taken. The food was inedible as it was ridiculously spicy, I struggled to eat most of it and my partner couldn’t eat any of it. I have had tandoori grills before but nothing as spicy as this before. I don’t think I will be eating here anytime soon and defiantly won’t be recommending this place to anyone I’m afraid.

!!DISCLAIMER: NOT A FAKE REVIEW!! First time coming here since new ownership took over. I want to start off by saying the waitress was lovely, polite and very apologetic throughout our stay. However, everything else was preposterous went in around 2:30 and was told that food wouldn’t start until 2:45 said that’s no problem we’ll sit down order some drinks. We had to wait until 4:00 over and hour for 3 of our meals our youngest had her fish and chips served to her first and she was finished by the time two of our other plates came through (noodles and omelette). The last plate which was meant to be steak and chips hadn’t come out yet and we was nearly done with our meals by the time the steak did come out. I have NO CLUE what cut of steak that was and apparently no one in the building did either unfortunately I did not take a picture of the steak however it was the thinnest slice of beef that you couldn’t even call a steak. When my partner took the steak back to the waitress at the bar he explained that he couldn’t eat it because it was just inedible she said that they can’t do refunds because we had to pay for our food before we actually ate?🚩 He then had to order some other food which was (£8.50) cheaper meaning they took money off us which we couldn’t get back. They had ran out of ketchup for the little one saying that their delivery was late due to traffic from the kids being off for summer? When myself ordered the noodles 10 minutes after I got told that they had hardly any of the ingredients needed and I had to choose something else then the waitress came back again to tell me that they had found the ingredients and I could have them!! The menu states that all kids eat free chocolate ice cream with their meals they didn’t even have chocolate flavour all they had was mango which came with a dirty spoon as seen in a picture below 👇 let’s just say I won’t be coming here again it was a disaster!!! Then again the empty car park should of been our first sign to turn around.

Ordered our meal which was poppadoms with sauces and a large mixed grill to share and a garlic naan Waited 25 minutes with no poppadoms or communication from the staff When the poppadoms finally came out, the main meal of mixed grill was brought out 2 minutes after When we told the server we hadn't had chance to eat the poppadoms, he didn't apologise for it but said "did you explain to the staff you wanted them early as we don't do starters!" Every restaurant in the country brings the poppadoms as an appetizer and this very restaurant did 2 weeks ago I wouldn't mind but there was no apology just a rubbish excuse for their terrible service And to top it off after 10 minutes of eating our meal there still wasn't any sign of the naan bread so had to go to the bar to ask for it! It was terrible service but when we politely told them they were no apology just excuses Won't be returning!

First time in here since it changed. Very quiet in there. Sat down ordered drinks, waited 15 minutes before they came as only one person serving. Ordered food, mixed grill, as we'd had before in similar restaurants. Poppadoms were served with dips, and we had to ask for individual plates and cutlery. Then the main meal came out, wasn't presented well, everything was just pilled on top. Couldn't see what was on there. We ordered a curry sauce as a side dish, and it came as a past, thick and spreadable, not a sauce. Started to eat, and everything was very salty and greasy. At the bottom of the hot plate was a pool of oil, not seen this on other mixed grills. Food wasn't good at all, told the manager and all we got back was that everyone else enjoyed their meals. We didn't eat most of the meal and all he did was knock off the cost of the curry sauce. Needless to say we will not be going back.

Pub virtually empty but took an age for our order to be taken and served. Waiting staff were lovely. Food came out sporadically so we were eating separately some of the time. Were told at the end that a 12.5% service charge would be automatically added to the bill but could be taken off if requested. We asked for it to be taken off as we wanted to decide on our own tip. When the bill arrived there was an extra item at the bottom simply called "Food" which was for £11. When we queried this we were told it was in fact the service charge (disguised to look like another item of food I presume). Needless to say we got it taken off the bill. Just be careful and check everything on your bill.

First of all it started with it with a drink then we had food after the owner stated it was good authentic Indian and American food, we ordered 2 of the empire burgers which was dry and rubbery and the amount it sauce made the burger soggy, we also ordered a balti which came out red in a tiny dish there was hardly any chicken which was cooked terribly and the chicken was scrag ends, the naan bread wasn’t homemade it was shop brought it was a tough as dogs toy and the amount of grease on top was good enough for a pond, the food came out at odd times and they forgot the sides. The place was like a ghost town with very odd cheap decor they only had one member of staff which was clumsy and didn’t know really what to do, also no draft for fizzy pop, we told the waitress about the food and didn’t do much about it the chef didn’t apologise it was just an excuse of “short staff” which if you’re going to take people’s money you still need to keep up the standards.

We popped in for a drink as we had seen this advertised for ages. Ordered drinks with the very pleasant barmaid. Had a pint of inches which was cloudy and tasted vinegary. Went to the bar to inform them to which the gent took a straw and filled it with the cider, tried it and told me it was fine. He said i could have another if i wanted but sounded like it was too much trouble. Also said if you have one out of the bottle afterwards I woukd be able to tell that it was ok. (I drink inches when im at home or if it is on tap when we are out) never had it taste or look like that before. If im homest I feel like after my experiendmce and reading other reviews we probably wont be visiting again .

We complained about one of our meals and the owner was very rude and confrontational, stating he would not reduce the bill as ‘we have to pay for what we ordered’ TERRIBLE customer service, the meal was inedible coming complete with a human hair! The owner’s response to my review completely proves my point! Willing to lie about our dining experience. We did not run out and not pay, I spoke about my dissatisfaction and was told that if we ordered the food we had to pay. I am glad you have reported my review, I will gladly talk to google about my review. You have CCTV, we can use that as our evidence of the way you spoke to us! Trip advisor has plenty of reviews like mine, we can’t all be wrong, If you want your business to be a success, listen to your customers and take the constructive feedback to improve your food and customer service.

new owners* Quick update on the Wheatsheaf pub WV10 7LU. Great and super handy Motorhome overnight stop off the M6/M5. Ignore the Trip Advisor reviews - new owner is working really really hard to undo the bad press created recently by a former manager. Hard working, honest, (I left my card and cash on the bar and got it back intact) graceful and super friendly staff who go out of their way to help and make you feel comfy. Great menu featuring tex mex and Indian classics. Quiet flat tarmac car park - not sure they still offer EHU as electric charge points going in - at the moment. Has a late licence til 1am at the Friday and into weekend so expect it to be much rowdier or fun… depending on your view. Kids playground and dog friendly - with local safe dog walks. Pubs like this need to be kept alive or we are all goosed for stop overs! The most tender mutton biriyani I’ve eaten. Spicy but not too hot. Great Guinness poured well at good prices! Call ahead!

Went for 1st time.since it has been took over...disappointing..the staff were fabulous..very attentive..the food was served and it would have fed 4 people !!! It put me right off . .ok some people can eat a large amount be not for me ..I'll be honest when I said it was to much they gave me a child's portion..and again that was to much ...they need portion control because they're losing a lot of money because of waste... apart from that it was ok..maybe try something else off the menu ( if I'm brave enough) 🤣🤣 the waitress were fabulous...

Saw big advertisement saying Indian food so thought we’d try it. Service was very slow. Salad. Then 5 min later side plates 5 minutes later naan then 5 minutes later the so called mixed grill. Chicken wings from Iceland that wasn’t cooked properly. Chicken tikka that looked like it was cooked but was chewy to bite. Then a green what was supposed to be lamb koftas that was disgusting. Salad had been cut earlier in the day because was going brown on corners. Plus it was all swimming in grease. When asked if it was worth the wait we told the staff exactly what was wrong and all he said was I’m sorry about that I’ll take it away. lol Definitely one to avoid. This is not a fake review. Obviously The Wheatsheaf instead of taking this review onboard and sorting the problem decide to say it’s fake.

Decided on a last minute meal out and this place didn’t disappoint. Atmosphere was warm & friendly, staff couldn’t do more for us even if they tried. Ordered the regular mixed grill and it’s one of the best mixed grills we’ve ever had. Seasoned well and tasted divine! Will be coming back in a heart beat!

I am so disappointed, what a shame, the starter came out wrong, the steak was a cheap cut, and we wanted medium came as well done, the peas where dry , the onions on the steak were soggy and unedable. The onion rings arrived at the table stone cold, had to get those changed. The kofta flat bread was average nothing special. Even the table across from us sent food back. Definitely will not be returning.

This is the second time we have stayed here in our motorhome. The service was excellent and there is always a smile to greet you at the bar. We had a meal here and the food was outstanding. The best chicken balti my husband has ever had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Pub and restaurant to anyone. We will definitely be returning again.

We found this pub and thought we would give it a try for a nice Sunday roast. When we arrived it wasn't busy at all there was one other couple at a table. We was sat down and given the menu to find out it was mainly Indian style food sold here. We was shocked but gave it ago. Had a round of drinks, ordered our food that wasn't very nice. Fish was like slush, and the curry we had wasn't like any we had before. Asked for the Bill to be really shocked how much it cost we nearly died. There was so many service charges very disappointed won't be going again This isn't false I said mainly Indian and wasn't what we expected! I have my bill and booking if you would like to see. Bill £143.00 Sunday 28th was my booking

Me and my family visited around a month - 2 months ago as had new owners so thought we would give it a try. The restaurant was quite quiet so service was fast! Staff were lovely and always come over asking if we want anymore drinks. However, the food was (in the nicest way possible) was awful, i had the butter chicken and the veg rice. the curry was like water, and the rice had frozen veg added into it. Same with my moms curry. My sister had spaghetti carbonara which was very sickly and wasn't tasteful at all. A carbonara is known for having bacon or ham in it, this did not. Just a jar of sauce added and mozzarella sprinkled on the top. Onto deserts, 2 of us had the red velvet cake, which was tasty but wasn't like your usual red velvet cake at all. One of us had the cheesecake, which was clearly frozen because it came out to the table and the one end was boiling!!! We gave the cheesecake back and refused to pay for it. Cheesecake should not be microwaved and surely frozen deserts should be left out to defrost the night before?? When we came to pay there was a 12% service charge which wasn't an issue. Please check your bills. Not everything is clear what the prices are for and they also still tried to charge us for the cheesecake. Lastly, the staff were lovely and its a lovely restaurant inside but we will not be returning and we don't recommend you visit either.

Not good value at all. We had a chicken tika byriani which came out with no veg curry or sauce at all. Basically it was a bowl of spicey rice with 4 pieces of chicken for £12.50, total disgrace. We also had a beef and onion bloomer sandwich, when it came out it was on 2 slice of bog standard white bread and smoothered in mustard, we had to send it back, no mention of mustard on menu. In the end, we just cancelled the sandwich, which they offered to remake.Asked for some kind of refund because of the lack of sauce with byriani, they knocked £2 off a £28 bill, totally disappointed. The table next to use was complaining also about portion size. Save your money and eat else were please.

Opted for fish and chips. Very disappointed as fish did not look cooked. The batter was well cooked but tiniest amount of fish inside was sloppy. The fish was on top of the biggest amount of chips I have ever seen on a plate. Mushy peas looked dry and inedible. One of our party found a hair in his meal. My meal was replaced but I couldn't face it. Needless to say we won't be going back

Thought we would give it a try, the taste of the food was good, it did take 1hr for our food to come out from when we were seated, the food was brought out on a skillet and when the lady lifted the skillet some food rolled onto her serving tray. she made the mistake of picking the food up with her fingers and placing it back on the skillet in front of my wife. For me that’s a big No No, only the chef and the person eating should touch the food

Sorry, I couldn't bring myself to say anything at the time as the staff were so nice but was soo disappointed with the roast....we were starving on route back from the peak district and this place had good reviews and just off m6....staff were lovely but considering all they do is roasts on Sunday I could hardly eat it everything tastes like it was 2 dats old....veg tasted funny, mash was dry, meat was dry I had to have all the gravy to attempt eating it! If it was cheap I probably wouldn't have said anything but at £17 odd each I wished I had got a burger king I would have felt better for it....and I don't eat fast food! Veg needs to be cooked fresher and keep meat moist and was the cauliflower meant to be cauliflower cheese??? There might have been a accidentle sprinkle of grated cheese in there Really thought it was going to be good from the pics I had seen. Maybe other food in the week is good but defo do not recommend the roast

Stopped in our motorhome overnight (thank you!). Now under new management. What an improvement. There is a separate bar if you just want a drink. The restaurant now serves Indian cuisine. The food was excellent, cooked freshly and very tasty. Would highly recommend. I hope that it is successful, as we will definitely be back.

Never made it past the door. Being told twice that they will be with us in a minute. 10 minutes later watching them serve everyone else in a half empty restaurant we left without being seated. As did the family waiting behind us. Cannot comment on the food as we didn't have any. In reply to your comment. Right address. Right restaurant. I'll let the other visits asking for money back on their bill and walking out without being seated comment and the publc making its own mind up. If you want to call me a liar i suggest you do it someplace else, although no skin off my nose really.

One of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Food awful, service awful. Butter chicken was effectively a watery gravy with some bits of chicken swimming in it. Carbonara was nothing more than pasta cooked in milk, awful. EDIT - In response to their reply: Your menu, shown in the photo now attached, with said Carbonara on it - from your page, 20th Feb…

Went to this pub as thought It was owned by Marston as we had booked through there website and we had a voucher to use as we are shareholders with Marstonpubs Ltd.. When we got there we were told to go to bar and wait as was not open till 5pm .we were told someone would fetch us which they didn't and we made our way back to restaurant. We were given menus which had no indication of all the extras that we paid for so this really needs sorting out . The pomperdoms were medioca and the pickle tray just like something you would get in aldi . The 2 lamb Tika maslas that we ordered had grizzle in them and hardly any meat on them I had to ask where my rice was as it didn't arrive with the meal . The place was empty apart from 2 other tables which I would think for a Saturday night just before easter to ring alarm bells. The plates were cold and food was not very hot . The rice was the only thing that was hot. We ordered puddings my parter had the vanilla ice cream and this cost £4.50 for the tiniest portion I have ever seen i ordered kufti ice cream and asked what It was to be told it was mango sorbet when it turned up it was vanilla ice cream with small bits of chocolate ice cream in there .the waitress was lovely but made me feel I couldn't have space to eat meal as every five minutes she kept on asking if we wanted drinks if we were OK etc.i don't mind this but would like to enjoy my meal in peace. When the bill arrived it was so hard to understand as most things just said food food food on it not broken down and we also.got told a service charge was put on which we couldn't even work out on the bill I was told this was optional and said I would not be paying for it . Bill for 2 meals was £45.50 and honestly I feel ripped off I will be sticking to the Indian takeaway in great Wyrley from now on where service is better food is nicer and no hidden charges. No wonder this place was empty. Read the TripAdvisor reviews before eating at this place . Please who ever owns this place sort out how you do your menu and do not hide hidden service charges. We will not be visiting again and will tell family members not to visit either .

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit here. We were a group of 6 women and were really well looked after by the staff. We all tried different Indian dishes, the favourites being the balti and biriyani. We also shared a large indian mixed grill between us. The naan breads were amazing! Would highly recommend visiting this place. Will definitely be back, thank you

Poor service, slow. We weren't asked about any allergies, the menu does not state what is in the meals. For example the menu says steak and ale pie, mushrooms not a steak mushroom and ale pie. Misleading at best. The breaded potato cake that comes with the chicken wrapped in ham contains cheese and what seemed to be spring onion no mention on the menu . We had to ask after 20 mins if our deserts were coming then they arrived after a further 10 mins. Asked for the bill it hadn't arrived after 20 mins so we went to the bar to pay. When I spoke to the manager he had excuses of being short staffed and said he took the menu comments on board, no apologies. I walked out very unhappy that our anniversary for me had been ruined. Not the experience I paid for. The quality of the food was good but overall the experience was poor. I felt sorry for the waiting staff as at points they were running around. If they don't have the staff then the bookings shouldn't be taken and maybe explain when customers arrive.
