The Vine
Latest Reviews
Went here before a recent football match with a couple of friends. Home and away supporters mix quite happily which in itself is a rarity!
Didn’t expect the place to be quite so huge from the outside, looks like you’re going in to a pokey little pub but you’ll be surprised quite how vast it is!Pre-match grill was excellent, good value for money and the food was amazing.
Enjoyed it so much we decided to come back after the game. Vibe was a little different, far less football fans and more people out for dinner. Full range of food was on sale and what was arriving from the kitchen looked good. We went back to the grill and again food was excellent. The free sauce that accompanies the food was especially good.
Salad was slightly worse in the evening, presumably as the turnover of grilled food isn’t so great but that was the only minor talking point.
Worth going if near the area!

I Was staying within a ten minute walk of The Vine on business and as it had good reviews I decided to give it a try.
I wasn't disappointed. Really good quality food and good value for money too. Nicely spiced with good heat to the Chicken Tikka Madras.
Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Will definately visit again if in the area.

We have used this place for over 20 years. Early evenings are nice and quiet. It gets very busy but you can reserve tables.

The Vine was unique experience many years ago, visiting a couple of weeks ago it certainly is not to my taste, far too 'preprepared'. The lunch time set menu is set in concrete without any deviation, our meals were on the table in about five minutes, all proving my preprepared theory.
I had methI chicken which was quite tasty but very dry, another sign of standing food. My friend does not eat chicken so wanted the kebabs, but we're actually meat AND chicken with no option of just lamb, another clue to food not cooked on the premises.Sorry, I have been eating and cooking Asian food for over sixty years and know good from not so good.

The Vine had been a favourite of ours for many years. We visit regularly and the food is always fantastic, the best chicken tikka we have ever had and the naan breads are to die for. It's family friendly and offers takeaway for when you're in a rush. If you haven't tried it I would highly recommend.

It was a 3 year gap since last I visited The Vine and there's a major uplift on the decor since last time. The food is however just as good as the last time and great value for money

Needed somewhere for a quick pub lunch and after a recommendation from one of the office lads we paid a visit to the Vine. For a weekday extremely busy but the number of staff behind the bar soon ensured everyone served (in order!!) - we ordered the lunchtime platter and sat down - no less than 5 mins later an amazing plate of food was placed in front of us - don't know about lunchtime...this fed me all day
Succulent meat, great spices and a wonderful lunch - I've worked in West Brom for nearly 10 years and this was my first visit, won't be my last
Well done all

o say this is a different eating place is an understatement.! From he outside a neat looking corner pub.From the minute you climb the three stone steps the smell of warm spices greets you There are different eating areas -snugs,large dining areas - the choice is yours.The food is a joy to behold.We sat in the BBQ room where we watched all manner of meats cooked over open heat.We selected chicken and lamb starters and I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the dishes for the price paid. Clay pot chicken with Keema Nan bread was shared as a main course as the starters we so filling.Wonderful food, well served, very reasonably priced.

I tried the chefs special and it was amazing! Chicken was perfect and the good was out in minutes. The staff were lovely and so were the people around us. The garlic naan will definitely keep the vampires at bay. Overall a great place to eat!

I was really looking forward to having a curry in the vine before watching my team play at West Brom, having done the same two season ago. Sat down with some Baggies fans who had eaten and checked what the procedure was which was order at the bar and food brought to you. When I got to the bar I was told the only food that was being served was the barbecue due to difficulty getting food to tables on a matchday: as a non meat eater I ended up with chips and naan bread for my lunch. Nothing wrong with what we got (nice bread average chips and no ketchup in sight) but had really been looking forward to a proper curry like last time.
I later checked on the pub website to see if there was a mention of the menu not being served on matchday but could find no reference to this and on the way out at just gone 2 p.m noticed a plate that looked like non barbecue food had been served (I could have been wrong). I suggest the pub makes their policy on matchday menu clearer on the website, especially as there is an FAQ section that I had specifically checked the day before.
On the plus side atmosphere in the pub itself was good and home fans friendly, mixing well with visitors and it didn't take very long to get served for food or drink.

Great variety of food, choice of BBQ food or numerous choices of main Indian dishes,
Service is very good and even at the busiest times the wait for food is not long at all.
Plenty of seating available.

I've been going the Vine since 2011 and the indoor curry barbecue is out of this world. Better than anything you could ever get from Brick Lane and at affordable prices.

Third time here after baggies football game and always very good. Strongly disagree with comments regarding price _ almost half what is common in most restaurants (max £10 per head) and very tasty and fresh. Friendly with a wide range of locals and visitors - definite place to visit before or after a west brom game and free parking nearby....

The outside does not do justice to what you get once inside.
The food was amazing had the lunch platter food was delicious and service very good.
Would definitely recommend a lunch time visit and I will return with family/friends.

We have been coming here for a while now and it never ever disappoints
Food ordering is simple You go to the grill you order what you want off barbie and go back 10 mins later to collect
The chicken tikka is amazing Last night for my main I tried the chilli honey chicken stir fry
The chicken was tender and melted in the mouth My only criticism would be too many onions for my liking
The wife had pork steak her personal favourite and chicken saag for main Also a bullet Nan to help it along
Staff are super friendly and always make us feel welcomeWill defo be going back

Went to the vine after a while on a Sunday...I had a very nice relaxed drink(s) and meal in the side room "lounge". Chicken tikka masala with naan, sheekh kebab, chicken tikka and chicken claypot with naan was exceptionally flavoured.
Each pint of carling lager was freezing cold and was very enjoyable to drink...between 5 of us we all enjoyed a stress free few hours.Unfortunately no photos due to stress free period, however I'm sure the vines post have many pictures to make you want to go.

We have been visiting regularly for years and have even driven from a Saturday shopping trip to Birmingham to have lunch.
We tend to have 2/3 items from the BBQ and have never been disappointed, the food is consistently excellent and is definitely a favourite of ours, although we do avoid matchdays (WBA home games).We have just returned from a Sunday afternoon visit and have found everything to be as good as ever.
Regarding the BBQ staff which some reviews criticise - we have never had a problem. The older guy has been there for years and is a bit of a character. We have never found any of the staff at the Vine to be rude in all the years we have been using it. It's a unique place to go and others have copied the concept but not to the same standard. The Vine will continue to be one of our favourite places to eat.

Used the Vine frequently this year, curries are reliable, not as spicy as some would have you believe, but still great. Usually have a curry rice and Naan of some description, always good value, quick to be served, tasty and filling. Hotter the better, yet to try the grill as I'm working my way through the curries at the moment!
Good food at a reasonable price - what more do you need?
Oh and the beer is well kept with a reasonable choice too.
Will be eating there the next time I'm in West Bromwich
