The Vine

Used to visit this lovely pub before lockdown and went yesterday to renew my acquaintance again. The food is as lovely as ever with a choice of hot and cold food. I chose one of the massive ham cobs with a side salad which I think cost me £2.60! Just unbelievable value for all of the food. I arrived at about 12.45pm and it was absolutely rammed,so try and get there for 12ish if you want to eat,it may just be a good bet to avoid having to queue. Left with a takeout of a corned beef cob and a ham and tomato one and a pork pie to savour later. This is the Batham's brewery pub with plenty of rooms to sit in and eat your meal. Fantastic place and staff really friendly even though they were very busy. Would not hesitate to recommend.

This legendary bathams pub in the heart of the Black Country is in my favourite top 10 pubs in the whole of England. The vine (Known locally as the bull and bladder, it used to be next to an old slaughterhouse) is a long pub with an ornately decorated exterior, with a Shakespeare quote "blessing of your heart you brew good ale" on the edge of the roof. It has a very traditional front bar a larger room at the back with traditional serving Hatch. It serves excellent beer, bathams mild and best bitter. It has lovely homemade traditional food. It is dog and child friendly, and has its own car park. Regularly featured in The Good Beer Guide. Highly recommended.

A great pub.i call it the cathedral of pubs. Its presence it's history. Loved by people not only of the Black Country ,but afar,even other parts of the world it's name has spread.The look ,furnishings,decor etc give a warm welcoming feeling,as do the customers who come here. Bathams beer,what can you say ,other than its the top beer,in the country ,in my opinion. The food is good whosome food,and excellent value for money.When leaving this pub,my thoughts are roll on when I make my return visit.
