Closing for upgrade soon, don’t know why, the pub is great as it is.
The pub is having soft refurb from 3rd April & will close completely 30 April to 15 May inclusive to allow for major re-works to be done.
The dinners are wonderful as always especially the chilli con carni’s.
The drinks are always excellent & the staff & management a credit to the pub.
The best pub in Walsall by a country mile.
Good quiz held on 3rd Thursday of month at 8pm. It hard, good if you like a challenge.
Pet friendly, 2 lovely pub dogs in situ.

We had our usual which was BCA pie, & the Chilli, SIL had faggotts, & BIL had bol, no he didn’t really he had gammon but I thought that sounded good. BIL loves his ales, & he’s planning on a return visit with his mates so watch out for that loud crowd!!!!

Have visited this pub many times and have never been disappointed. The choice of ales is second to none and there is always the option to "try before you buy". The food is excellent too.......the Ploughmans Lunch just has to be one of the best around!!! They bar staff are always friendly and happy to help. Will always visit when in Walsall.

Saturday 10th February 18, My husband and I went out for a drink and a meal with my godson Kevin who lives in Walsall to celebrate his 40th Birthday.
We parked the car and then My husband, Kevin and I walked down into Walsall town centre to go to ‘The Black Country Arms’, a city centre real ale pub.
The Black Country Arms is situated in a Georgian building. The pub is situated over three floors with tables for dining and a wonderful real ale bar with over 40 types of real ales and ciders.
We all found a table and we looked at the menu, we then went to look at the bar, the range of ales was impressive and as I am not an ale drinker, I asked about flat ciders, and they had an impressive array.
We were served by Kevin, who was a lovely bright and cheerful man, who took our food and drinks order.
The food when it arrived was piping hot, well presented and a HUGE portion. My husband had the Black Country Steak & Ale pie served with peas and chips. which he said was really tasty. My husband washed this down with two pints of ‘Big Friendly Giant - BFG’ ale. I had the Black Country Cottage pie, which came served with steamed vegetables and a jug of nice rich gravy, and I washed this lovely food down with two pints of ‘Ruby Tuesday’ raspberry cider, which was so smooth and had a lovely taste, but Oh so strong, as I felt 'heady' the next day.
Kevin did not want a big meal, so he had two crusty cheese and onion rolls and two bags of cheese & onion crisps. Kevin had three pints of ‘BFG’ bitter. We spent over three hours here toasting his birthday, talking and chatting and catching up on news and gossip.
If you want a good down to earth pub with friendly staff, good food and excellent bitters, ales and ciders then this is the place to be.

The Black Country Arms is a fantastic pub for ale drinkers with lots of choice that’s continually rotated. The atmosphere is good as well and is well worth popping in for a pint if you’re in Walsall town centre.

Found this little gem today ... lovely old building ... warm and welcoming... more real ales than you can shake a stick at for hubby and a pleasant selection of gins for me... got a bit peckish while we were here so thought it only right that hubby should have the chance to sample faggots and peas ... while I chose a gorgeous cauliflower and red pepper curry ... delicious ... the staff were delightful ... could have quite settled in fir the night 10/10

We haven't visited this pub for a while but it's as good as ever. I nearly always have the liver and onions as they do it so much better than I do. Surprised someone said there was more gravy than liver as I couldn't finish mine as it was so large. I love lots of gravy anyway and always add the bacon. Brilliant pub meals and we've tried lots of them over the years and this pub comes out way higher than anywhere else. Well done to the chef (s).

The best Real Ale Pub I know in the west midlands. Me and my wife always visits this place when we shop in walsall. They have the largest selection of real ales and cider on tap. They have a beer festival every year and serve great food as well. Well worth a visit. It's virtually opersite Asda.
