The Shire Oak — Restaurant in Walsall

Popped in as the establishment opened on my way from doing a job in the area on Thursday, we were greeted by an extremely clean pub with an extremely pleasant and welcoming landlord. The venue is cosy and homely with much varieties of seating choices to suit your mood and needs, I chose to sit in 1 of the booths that included a personal TV to watch if thats suits you, I appreciated that as if you want to watch the footy without disturbing anyone it's a great addition.i noticed a well set up little stage area for DJs and bands. The carpark was large and well kept too, toilets well kept, sanitary and warm. I was instantly asked about dietary requirements on ordering, I ordered the blue stilton and mushroom double cheeseburger with onion rings instead of chips and it arrived in good time, looking very easy on the eye! I demolished it like I had never been fed before.. I really enjoyed the pot of blue cheese sauce on the side alot!!! The food, staff, ambience, coffee and beer was spot on! The price was surprisingly low for such good food, I want to thank the landlord for being so quick on his feet to serve our every need and make us feel so welcomed. I can't wait to visit again in my personal time so I can stay longer.

5+ stars from us your recent customers Melanie and Stewart from kalmair ltd/air...

the staff are beyond rude the food is inedible and the drinks are so over priced it’s a joke £8 for double vodka lemonade in walsall?? i don’t think so. the staff make you feel unwelcome and are always rolling their eyes, huffing and tutting at customers. they walk away while ur halfway through ordering, they did this to my friend and when she came back to finish her order they were rude and said she didn’t order properly??any mistake on their behalf they’re always reluctant to help, i ordered two drinks which i was given with the wrong mixer when i asked for them to be remade they tried to charge me for them again!!!! this was after i spent 20 mins disputing with staff i’d spent £16 on drinks that were undrinkable. they then sent another member of staff to make them because she “couldn’t be arsed”. when the pub is nearly closing the staff will go round to customers saying “you need to hurry up and drink that” and they will shout over the bar “EVERY BODY OOUUTTTT I WANNA GO HOME” not as a joke btw. the atmosphere is never good as well and to be honest i’m surprised it’s not closed. ALSO THE STAFF SLEEP WITH THE REGULARS, ONCE THEY’RE DRUNK ENOUGH, AFTER...

3 Stars I would give more seriously because the owners are so friendly, but this one woman when I turned up for the England Vs Scotland game, interrogated me and belittled me because I didn't know which of my mates had booked the table. She gave such a disgust look and spoke with such attitude. Her customer service was terribly and then the new girl who's first day was that same day was the most friendly member of staff. The night was good and the new member (Lauren I believe not sure tho) served our section of the pub throughout the game and her service was 10 out of 10. Like I said would be 5 stars but a shame about the woman at the start. Not a great way to great a new customer...
