Tasted amazing, very good value for money. Four of us ate, 4 curries, 2 rice 2 nann, 2 starters, 2 items from the grill £53...big portions & the meat was very tender & flavoursome. Drinks from the bar very reasonable.
It's a order at the bar affair, then the waitress will just call your number & bring it to you. You order the main menu at the bar & grill in a different area in the back which you collect yourself. The grill is open & you can see your delicious meats cooking! Can get a bit noisy but the front 'old pub' bit has lots of nooks to sit in which is quiter

A great little place providing tasty food at a fair price. It harbours a great atmosphere but it can get extremely busy on match days.

Proper home-cooked curry.... Lots of space... If you go lunchtime it can get busy between 12.30 and 1.30 so try and get there before 12....

First visited the Vine over ten years ago and it's still an excellent watering hole for any fans visiting West Brom - home and away supporters mix together. It has a wonderful variety of curries on offer from Goat and chicken dishes to tikka items cooked on a large grill. There are also many drink options on offer, including a couple of real ales. Just a 20 min walk to the ground but make sure you arrive early as it gets very very busy on a game day!

The vine has been going for over 30 years, and its a bit like marmite, you either love it or you hate it.
Food is nothing special, but the atmosphere is great and its comfortable yet also loud. There;s a number of rooms and every time I go there, there seems to be a refurb/extension. Great for a big group, or even a couple.

We only go to the NEC from Lancashire once or twice a year but it is always followed by a quick detour to the Vine. Superb food, fast service, very reasonable prices and lovely staff. Gets very busy so go early to ensure you get a seat. Wish it was nearer home.

Crowd of us went on Saturday before football. Usually crowded on match days but brilliant atmosphere with banter. Great beers including Bathams and Staropramen larger. The curries are one of the best in the Midlands especially the chicken claypot. Fantastic selection of indoor barbecue with a wide selection of sauces chips and bread. Great prices, well worth a visit.

I must admit to being biased here. I was born in West Bromwich and lived on the road adjacent to Roebuck Street (where ‘The Vine’ is located) for the first eleven years of my life. Thus, I have unusually fond and quite atypical memories of the area. We lived in Roebuck Lane long before the area was scythed apart by the M5 motorway. I remember ‘The Vine’ as being a small local pub (I think that it used to be called ‘The Roebuck’) which I was obviously too young to enter under the licensing laws current at that time.
The West Midlands is known for its profusion of excellent Indian eating-places and ‘The Vine’ is a real ‘curry pub’. My adult son and I visited it for lunch prior to going to ‘The Hawthorns’ (the home ground of West Bromwich Albion) for the Saturday football match and this was our first visit to ‘The Vine’. The area around ‘The Hawthorns’ is not over-endowed with pubs and ‘The Vine’ itself is one of the closest but it is still about a mile from the ground. Not surprisingly, therefore, ‘The Vine’ attracts a large number of clients (mainly West Bromwich Albion supporters, though away fans are welcome) on football match days and we suspect that such days provide a major source of the pub’s income. On such days, ‘The Vine’ is very much a niche establishment catering for football supporters.
We parked the car in ‘The Vine’s’ own small car park at a match-day cost of £5. The car park was clearly not in high demand and it did not fill. The small frontage of ‘The Vine’ belies its real size. Whereas it was originally clearly a small local pub with three small parlours and a bar, it is now vast. Beyond the parlours, there is a conservatory-like room, then further back there is another large room, then another with an open grill, then an external covered section that is not fully enclosed. I had not expected anything of this magnitude.
‘The Vine’ does not accept reservations on match days. We arrived at about 12:30 (kick-off was at 15:00) and we quite easily found somewhere to sit in the conservatory area (at this stage there was still quite a lot of space available). There was a continuous influx of customers all the time we were there and the place became quite crowded though there was still standing space out at the back. Indeed, it felt as if a large proportion of the spectators at the match were there! We only ordered a relatively light meal each of channa masala and a pint of Batham’s bitter for me, saag aloo, pilau rice and a soft drink for my son. The food was good, the portions were of a reasonable size. The total cost was about £21, i.e. much cheaper than in some other parts of the country. Service was quick and efficient even with the large clientele (who were good-humoured and friendly). The toilets, although small, were clean and could cope. I would definitely recommend the establishment, especially if you are going to ‘The Hawthorns’.

My family have been coming to the vine since the 90’s even when we moved away we still came back, it’s our ‘second hime’ and always will be, even now I may be 25 miles away but always come down here every few weeks with the missies as it’s a great place and close to my heart.
The reasons being the food is fantastic and reasonably priced, the variety on offer is excellent, the range of local, branded and guest ales is superb and also reasonably priced, the staff are always friendly and helpful and the atmosphere ranges from chilled and relaxing mid week to lively and energetic on West Brom’s Home games.
Shame the children’s area was demolished years back as I had fond memeories as a kid on there but as times change and the lib grows, it could still do with a children’s play area so the kids do t get bored or run up and down the aisles.

Visited many times in midweek. Mainly early evening on football nights. Always met someone from Away supporters ranging from Swansea, London to Wolves/ Villa; this place is known far and wide.
So long as you can get in then the food and drink are good. In rear the hot coals burn and deliver great, non varied, food includes naans.

Crazy busy ahead of the game, but amazingly the pub managed huge throughput of hungry fans with high quality chicken tikka kebabs. The pub is cavernous, must have been 500+ people inside, may be even 1000. The main irritant was queuing twice, once for the BBQ and once for the beer. There will be a way to make that one trip.

The vine offeres consistently good food along with excellent customer service.
Even when it's very busy, the staff serve and take orders at the bar extremely quickly, I must also say they are very warm and welcoming staff.Quality of the curry and other dishes are very good, and still excellent value.
If you think the curry is good, try the amazing grilled food, located at the rear of the pub, you won't be disappointed!Already looking forward to my next trip to the Vine when I am visiting the area.
