Bruford Arms — Restaurant in Wolverhampton

Me (chewy) and the lads were in our late teens when we started drinking in the Bruford Arms back in 1990, and time has definitely flown by. We have shared many great nights /memories throughout the years and the place became a second home. Their was no SKY TV back then because all sports were shown free on terrestrial TV which we watched on a 28 inch TV mounted on the top left corner of the Bar. Even the bad times were good when the Pub ran out of alcohol which resorted us to bringing in our own. Going to the Bruford these days has become a bit of a rarity maybe because of the current pandemic or it could be the overindulgence of drinking straight Jameson Irish Whisky over the years but if I do go out the Bruford will always be the N0.1 place to be in Wolves.

The mixed grill was good. The veg biriyani, though , had a plain watery sauce with it (little , if any veg in it). The tarka dhal was OK , but again both this and the biriyani were asked to be made mild but my other half couldn't eat them as they were too hot for her. Shame, really, as I really wanted to give these top marks. Service was good and friendly , the mixed grill was good , it was just let down by the watery biriyani sauce and the fact that I asked for the biriyani and tarka dhal to be made mild but it was still too hot for my...
