The Vine
Latest Reviews
We went here at the weekend with my husbands sister and her husband. It was our first visit and I enjoyed it. The Vine looks quite small from the front/outside however it goes on and on once inside. The place has a lovely feel, as if you are sat in a friends house, the food is good and plentiful and the service good.

Great place, been coming here for years, I love the history of the pub... if only those walls could talk!!!
Staff are always lovely, I walked in last night and was greeted with smiles and I love being called Bab! So West Brom! our waitress had a little joke with us which was great,
Lots of choice on the menu, food is with you quickly and always hot and fresh, a really good indoor BBQ, cooked while you wait
Up the well worn Victorian pub steps to a place that opens out with plenty of space to sit, eat, enjoy a drink and relax...Love it x

Not the best Desi pub around but well worth a visit. Good food and good service. The overall value is great.

We decided to pay a visit to the vine as where ever we read a review it was really impressive on arrival ordered our drinks and food sat down in the lounge area not the grill it was almost like they knew we were coming and what we were going to order as our food was there unbelievably quick all piping hot and basically perfect so tasty so fresh very very good huge compliments to the chefs and the staff all very impressive.

Just got back home after a visit to the Vine, with couple of mates after work. I haven’t been there for a few years and can’t believe how big it is a clear sign of maintaining standards, well done. There is one real negative though. I was really disappointed that the older server on the grill is still allowed to palm customers change. He very neatly palmed a pound of my change. It is not the money and I would gladly leave a tip but to take money in that manner, well it sort of takes the edge off what was an enjoyable experience.

Have to say this is the best pre match drinking / eating place I have ever been too. They have got a few ales on tap tap a great indoor BBQ. The food that we got was very nice. As an away fan it's nice to be able to mix with the home fans. Would definitely visit again next time I am in the area. Well worth the visit.

Was in here Saturday 05/05/2018 for football match, Fantastic Food, Drink and a friendly welcome from the West Brom fans, The only Disappointing Thing That Really lets this pub down is that when the home fans start singing that’s ok but when the Away fans start you get thrown out So my advice is that if you like a pre match sing and banter with the home fans then avoid this pub, 10/10 for Food and welcome but sorry 3/10 for having a laugh

Don’t get me wrong. There are pros and cons to The Vine. Pros. There is a good sized car park, the restaurant is spacious. The food was served extremely fast.
The food was nice but nothing I’d rave about. The service from the staff was good and the staff were nice and pleasant.
The cons. Firstly the bizarre logic of different places to order specific foods. Grilled food is ordered at the grill. Any other foods to be ordered at the bar. There is no instructions to this. It’s kind of a work it out for yourself game. The price of the food was reasonable for the portions. The price of the cider was a bit much. 1 pint of Cider cost £4.50. For a Deli pub serving Indian cuisine there was no mixed grill! 60p per serving of mint sauce and a pretty nasty “brown sauce” that was unlimited.
Tried the “Vines famous Tikka grill chicken” and it was burnt. There wasn’t a lot of spice to the rest of the food, but unlike the tikka, the curries were tasty, not burnt. The curries were nice and pleasant to eat but it tasted like every other curry. It really didn’t get me raving.
It’s a nice enough restaurant and I would eat there again, but being completely honest there are other desi pubs in the area I would prefer to go to than the vine.

Came here as part of a tour of local pubs around the area and was recommended to eat here, small front but once inside it opens out to an amazing bar then grill area.
The food was fantastic, the staff were very happy to answer any questions and ask the chef if unsure.Would recommend the place to anyone.

It was very busy and the front of pub with no seats availble in bar due to football being on. Plenty of tables available in restaurant at the back. Was disappointed as i wanted a mix grill and was told that i had to order the meats separately and they dont do mix grill. I feel that menu is not accommodating for all. Based on that experience i will not be returning.

Visited this area and the restaurant for the first time with a group of friends on a Wednesday evening. Sorry this review is not linked to any football event.
The venue was terrific as were the staff and the food. Ordered via the wi fi which resulted in a fast and and efficient service.
I ordered the lamb dupiaza with rice and a naan bread which proved quite a challenge to finish. Excellent food quality & portion sizes.
The venue was modern & clean. The prices charged were very reasonable however this is compared to London and the SE where it would be difficult to match such value for money provided by this restaurant.
A really great meal at a terrific venue. Will definitely return if in the area.

Every time we visit for a game against West Brom we have to visit here!! An amazing place very quirky and the food is fantastic. Now tasted both the kebabs and the curry and can’t fault it. A great spot and very friendly.

The Vine was an amazing restaurant which lived up to the expectations, both from TripAdvisor and its own website. My partner and I had a vegetable and goat curry, chicken tikka from the barbecue, samosas and some sides such as the chappati and poppadums. All of the food was flavourful, fresh and tasted wonderful.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant was very friendly and familiar, and there were quite a few people there on a Wednesday evening. Having parking around the corner is also a big plus.
If you are in the area, be sure to visit!

An old fashioned pub from the outside that’s been spruced up inside, The Vine offers excellent value and great tasting Indian food.
You’ll need to get your head around the slightly convoluted ordering system (curries at the bar, barbecued stuff at the grill) which you means you won’t necessarily get stuff at the same time. But the food is pretty good overall.
Starters were decent, although the chicken pakoras tasted only like a slightly spicier version of chicken nuggets. The mains were very good and the grill offerings are packed full of succulent flavour.
The service is friendly and helpful although the guy who took the order at the grill didn’t explain how it all worked which made it confusing.
Overall, an enjoyable and family friendly visit. It scores highly for the badger picture on the wall.

When I first read the description of The Vine I wasn't convinced but thought I'd take a chance after reading other reviews.
And I'm glad I did.
Staying away overnight for work and this is just what I needed. A well kept pint and a tasty curry in a welcoming atmosphere.Friendly staff, clean and a very 'local pub' feel without feeling unwelcoming.
Would recommend and be happy to visit again.

Was at The Vine on Saturday; Yet again the welcome was fabulous, service was quick considering how full it was. I had Chicken Tikka from the Grill and a fresh Nan, everyone was enjoying there curries, or kebabs fresh from the grill. If your passing or playing West Brom this place is a must! Away fans always welcome and never any trouble; just how Football should be!!

Best away trip of any season. Can park nearby and easy walk to the ground.
Must get to the pub about 3 hours before ko or it is too packed for a table. The Bathams beer is highly recommended but always runs out early , they then offer bottles. However, the alternative draught beers have always been good.
They do an indoor BBQ chicken tikka, kebabs, naan, chips etc or you can order curries off the main menu, most go for the BBQ.
Home fans are great, no bother at all , really friendly atmosphere.
So good , if the Villa and/ or Wolves get promoted I think we'll still be visiting the Vine!! 😊

We always come here when we play West Brom away. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is always top notch. Good mix of home and away fans with no bother from either. Good value for money curry. Be gutted if (when) they get relegated.

Visited The Vine before and after Terriers away win at The Hawthorns. Parked on street nearby. Friendly pub with Albion and Town fans mixing in a welcoming environment. Good beer and tandoori BBQ fire pit food (not much for vegans but hey ho). Easy 15 walk to the ground alongside Metro line. Splendid day out capped by a Town away win 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️👍

Been here a few times but the first time on a Sunday evening. Beer is great. Clientele hmm a bit loud but ok. But I had goat vindaloo, keema naan and pilau rice. Keema great, lovely rice but the goat was just full of bones. Sorry not the best.

Very busy lunchtime, but service was fast and food couldn’t be faulted. Had to return the following day, Friday, so even busier but the same standard of food and service. Need to visit one evening to sample the full curry 🍛 experience. 👍

As an away fan, I was a bit worried but everybody made us welcome. The chicken tikka kebab was the best I have ever experienced. Great atmosphere, great local beer and fantastic food. Recommend to any football supporter before the match.

We traveled up to watch the cup game, drank at the pub beforehand and and ate there afterwards. Great venue for football drinks as there are multiple bars with quick service and a wide selection of beer (even with my favourite, blue moon served with an orange wedge). Away fans and home fans mixing without any trouble gave the place a real good atmosphere. One negative was no takeaway alcohol even though it was plastic glasses. After the game I asked for a recommendation, so got the a chicken claypot - vindaloo hot. This was a HOT curry which is how I like it, so I was very impressed. Had tasty naan bread too, which was huge. Other people around me were eating massive chunks of chicken tikka - definitely wish I'd ordered that too. Staff were great at dealing with fans who started to sing. Only wish it was closer so I could visit again
