The Alma Inn in Bloxwich

Ah, The Alma Inn – it's one of those places that really grows on you if you're after a straightforward pub experience with a bit of an international flair. I have to say, the food stands out as a highlight; they've got this mouth-watering menu packed with fresh daily options, from spicy curries to hearty grills, and it's all at prices that won't leave you shocked when the bill comes. It's especially great for families, with kids' menus and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy. The staff are often lovely and chatty, adding to that homely pub vibe, and with an overall rating hovering around 4.5, it's clear plenty of folks have had cracking times there. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses – I've heard a few tales of service slipping up, like ignoring a request to turn down the music, which can make conversations a bit tricky. Then there's the odd complaint about the bathrooms needing a freshen-up, and some meals coming out a touch bland, which is a shame when the rest sounds so promising. Still, if you're in Walsall and fancy a casual night out, I'd say give it a go; it's got that solid pub charm with room for improvement, and who knows, you might just have a brilliant evening despite the minor hiccups.
