Good selection of ales. Lovely home cooked food. Friendly atmosphere and the quiz night on Thursday once a month is a hoot!

Can't complain when you get a bottle of prosecco when you win the quiz! Plus the steak and ale pie is great.

I arranged with the pub via email to have a dinner there with approx 20 people, they were polite and very accommodating and helpful as I was unable to give specifics on how many where arriving.
We arrived, had amazing food (as always, we have been a few times before). Can not fault the food. Made with time and care and taste lovely.
The variety of ales and other drinks is always impressive and quality is brill.
We will revisit many times and will always recommend!

It was alright but just that, alright. Clean but it was like walking into a morgue. Plenty of beer etc to choose but the food was what I would call "Booker" food. Would not rush back for a Sunday dinner.

They had 17 ales on tap and a knowledgeable bar keeper. It's a comfortable place with a great atmosphere.

Review received for The Black Country Arms from Mark T :- "Walsall's best real ale pub. Comfortable pub, bottled beers, fruit wines. All rounder. Often winner CAMRA 'pub of the year.'"

My husband wanted to visit here as it appears as recommended in Camra.
The pub is very friendly and homely, decorated in a old fashioned way.
Although we didn't eat there, the menu looked really good with a lot more choice than you expect, even for vegetarians.
It may look a bit scary on the outside but would recommend trying it out.

Had some great nights here. Great beers, cheese and onion cobs what more could you ask for. Check when live music is on if you like a boogie.

Always fab, awesome selection of ales and good music. Nice change from the chain pubs and bars in the rest of Walsall!

This is a real gem the ciders and ales are fantastic! Decor is lovely and I love that there are fresh plants everywhere. The only down side is that I felt the toilets weren't that clean and they could do we been redecorated.

This not-so-secret, former Court House (and formerly Green Dragon)opposite ASDA,. is a real-ale gem of-a-pub but with great grub as well. In Walsall, a short steep uphill walk through "market area" is rewarded with a large, welcoming and friendly environment. Smiley and helpful staff serve a great range of ales, which you can sample before choosing. Whether you are alone or in a group, it is such a comfortable place to be, with lots of hidy-holes and spaces upstairs from which to choose..There's also an pretty little drinking/eating area outside
Monday,in fact, anyday B.C.A. makes a super meeting place.
My own fave food is a must try taste- called" BLACK PUDDING AND POTATO thingy on a bed of lettuce with an egg smiling on top.".....but you will discover your own !!
CHEERS B.C.A.

Visited both in the week and on a Sunday for lunch. The food is much better in the week and the menu is varied. On Sunday there is a set lunch- it gets busy but there is minimal staff. Despite ringing to pre order one of our group had to wait for their lunch and the rest of us had finished ours before she got hers. Staff member was quite impatient and didnt apologise for the late meal.

Very old Pub located at the top of the market in Walsall . They have guest beers lots of them and you can sample before you buy . Food was good and there were specials available for the day we visited

After a few hours in Walsall we almost crawled from Asda (you can roll if you go down the slope) into the BCA. As usual after clothes shopping I was over excited, I pointed to my beer glass admiring it & knocked the beer everywhere! The lady very kindly got me another drink, & she really didn't need to. Mr DW had his usual pie, I'd already had pie that week so I had the Chilli, OMG I was not disappointed!!! The chips, & garlic bread just about sent me to heaven. I wished they did takeaway as I'd've took a batch home with me for the freezer. So look no further if you're in Walsall, as this is the place to be, great food, a decent drink, good atmosphere, & unbelievable prices, what more can anyone want? Thanks again BCA :-)

Our second visit and not disappointed. A lovely old fashioned pub with good quality English food. Faggots, fish and chips, salads, pie etc . You can get chili or a curry. Good variety of beer. Friendly.

Visited BCA today. Greeted by the landlady. Served politely and quickly by lady behind bar. Ordered food shortly afterwards. Came quite quickly. And, as usual, was really really nice. Rapidly becoming my favourite place to spend time with family and friends and to dine. Def worth a visit!

Husband & I visit Walsall occasionally and for the 2nd time have had lunch in the Black Country Arms. Yes it is great food and good selection. Today I had a chicken Salad with baguette, really good, not smothered it coleslaw as some salads are. Just good salad items and plenty of chicken. Husband had ploughmans he said it was great. Last time he had chilli with real good chunky chips. Will certainly use again when in Walsall.

Myself and a few colleagues ate here recently and it is a great place, with a real country pub kind of feel to it. The first thing that struck me was the vast array of different cask ales on sale, if you are an ale drinker you will be spoilt for choice!! Looking forward to some good pub food I ordered the cottage pie with veg. After a little while the land lady brought out the meals that my colleagues had ordered, it turned out my order hadn't been processed. The lady was lovely and she was ever so apologetic about the mix up. I didn't mind too much as it gave me an excuse to have another glass of wine!!
Unfortunately my colleagues had all finished eating by the time my food came out but the landlady apologised again and gave me my money back, without me asking or anything. It was fairly busy in there that night and having worked in restaurants I understand that sometimes these things happen but I thought it was a nice gesture. The cottage pie I had ordered was delicious, as was my colleagues steak and ale pie that I had a little taste of whilst waiting for mine. I would certainly not be put off from eating there again, the staff were welcoming and even without getting my money back the food was incredibly reasonably priced.
