The Shire Oak - Walsall

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 THEIR SHIFT!!!!!

I had a great time at this charming pub. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed a game of pool. The only downside was that it was a bit too warm inside.

We stopped by on our way to a football game and the staff did a fantastic job handling the unexpected arrival of a coach full of football fans. We will definitely be returning next year.

My family and I visit this pub pretty regularly. We visit for both a quick drink and food and I can honestly say we have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and polite and the atmosphere is always very welcoming.

It was a great experience visiting the historic pub, where the staff were very helpful in explaining the recent renovations. They mentioned that the old brewery is now a part of the car park. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to sample the delicious-smelling food.
