The Hunting Tree — Restaurant in Dudley

I was pleasantly surprised when I visited here yesterday, as I'd only ever been in once before for a few pints years ago and it struck me then as mainly a drinkers pub, so it was refreshing to see that it had been refurbished and turned into a family friendly establishment that serves food. I called up to book a table in the week and the call was answered promptly by a lovely lady on the other line who sorted out my request with no problems. I pre-booked with there being 7 of us dining and with it being the bank holiday weekend I was expecting the place to be rammed, but it was far from busy. One of our group who is a beer fanatic was disappointed that there was no real ale available so he went in for a cider and another person in our group commented on how nice his Guinness was. But nevermind the drink selection, we were there mainly to eat and we dined on some lovely, solid, pub food. The portion sizes were spot on for everyone, not too little and not too much, everything on our plates was hot and for the price paid we really couldn't complain about anything. It's great to see another alternative to Spoons in the local area and if I were wanting somewhere to eat I'd pick here over there hands down. I went in for the Bombay Burger and it was amazing. It was standing tall and I just about managed to fit my mouth around it after squishing it down. It was full of tasty fried meat free chunks, salad, poppadom and smothered in mango chutney. The relation sitting next to me went in for the chicken platter and I tried one of his carolina reaper wings. The wing itself was plump with meat and the reaper glaze/sauce was tasty before it crept up and took effect. The kids were super happy with their choices, with a decent list of things to choose from and a pudding thrown in for £5.49, I can't grumble. I also admire places like this that offer kids eat free weekday deals throughout the summer holidays I think it's a lovely gesture. Keep on going strong The Huntingtree and I hope you get many visitors pass through...

Had a meal here with my adult son. The staff were so helpful setting up their ramp for my mobility scooter. We had an enjoyable meal. Yet it would be nice if access was easier. As it was scary going up their homemade ramp. Pity that there is no disability friendly access to their massive beer garden. As it would make entry for the disabled a lot easier. An that's not a complaint. Just a sensible suggestion. As it would open the pub up to more disabled customers. As it's a lovely pub. An the beer garden is well laid out. The only thing letting it down is easier access. I'm amazed it's not more busy. As it's set in such a nice area. I will definitely be going again soon. Yet I think my son will have to get my scooter up that steep ramp. As I was unsettled going up it due to how steep an high it is. I'm looking forward to a different choice on their menu next time though. As another table had fish & chips which he wants to try on our next visit. As he said their fish looked lovely an bubbly battered lol. It's definitely worth a visit. As it really is a lovely pub. An so nice an quiet in the beer garden. As you don't hear any traffic noise. Just the sounds of nature. It's so relaxing....

A last minute decision to eat out yesterday took us for a walk to the Huntingtree, knowing it had been recently refurbished and keen to support a local pub. What a disappointment! The bar service was good enough, we ordered two drinks and studied the menu. Having made our choice we were then told there was no salad. (There are 3 different salads on the menu) Ok, so we asked for the green veg selection as a substitute, which was offered with other plates, and this was not possible because « it could not be keyed into the till » This is surely the height of intransigence. Key in salad and serve the veg, it’s not rocket science. What happened was that we left, ordering no food, but having paid for and therefore consumed drinks that we would not have ordered had we known we would not be eating there, walked to another pub serving food. We didn’t expect gourmet, just basic menu. We will not be giving the Huntingtree a second chance. Added on Tuesday 14 March Today I have spoken with Sarah, who wasn’t there on Sunday. Sarah is going to address the issue and we will give it a...
