About This Pub
Ah, The Dudley Arms – what a gem it is, tucked away near Himley Hall. I've got to say, it's one of those places that really delivers on the food front; the carvery is a standout, with heaps of praise for its quality and variety, and it's reasonably priced too, which always makes for a happy outing. The staff are an absolute delight, always on hand with a smile and ready to help, whether you're just nipping in for a pint or organising something bigger like a birthday bash in their function room or terrace. It's got that warm, community vibe that's so inviting, and with over two decades under their belt, you can tell they've got things down pat. On the flip side, though, it does get rammed at times, so you might find yourself in a queue for seating or the bar, which can put a dampener on things if you're with a group or in a hurry. And while most rave about the grub, not everything's a winner for everyone – like those Yorkshire puds that didn't quite win over one regular. All in all, it's a solid spot for a good meal and a chat, but I'd suggest going a bit off-peak if you want to avoid the hustle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The food is absolutely spot on, especially that carvery – it's become a real favourite around here, with plenty of choices and great quality for the price.
-
The staff are so friendly and welcoming; they really make you feel at home, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or planning a bigger do.
-
It's got a lovely, cosy atmosphere with different areas like the main pub, a function room for special occasions, and a terrace that's ideal for smaller gatherings – perfect for birthdays or hen dos.
-
Value for money is brilliant; you get a solid meal without breaking the bank, and there's ample parking which is a bonus.
-
It's in a picturesque spot near Himley Hall, and they've built up a real community feel over the years, making it a great place to catch up with mates.
Cons
-
It can get pretty busy, especially at peak times, so you might end up waiting a while to be seated or queue at the bar, which isn't ideal if you're in a rush.
-
Some folks might not be keen on every part of the menu – like one person mentioned the Yorkshire puds weren't quite to their taste – so it might not hit the mark for everyone.
-
With it being so popular, things can feel a bit hectic during busy periods, and if you're with a group, you might have to plan ahead to avoid the crowds.

Great food. Staff helpful and friendly. Had carvery in the evening then went back for breakfast. Would definitely recommend the DA
I have been to this pub a few times now, and the service is brilliant each time we go. My partner and her parents love the carvery there and for the price I must say, you'll not find any with the same quality and choice. Apart from Yorkshire puds (I am northern!), I am not much of a fan of the Sunday carvery staple that has been bred into us as a country. I decided to try something different and landed on the vegetarian lasagne, and oh boy, was I in for a treat. Served with garlic bread, an array of nicely arranged salad, and I even added chips to the order for a little extra. If, like me, you fancy a change, I'd definitely recommend that dish. To finish off I enjoyed a lovely lemon meringue pie with ice cream, while my partner enjoyed the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and the mother in law went all out, designing a nice chocolate and mint sundae. It's a relatively large pub with a lot of seating options, and you can see their menu online via their website before you go! I would have loved to get photos of everybody else's food. However, they were a little too keen to tuck in. Regardless of that the trip put made a happy Paul yet again!
First time we have been here since moving to the area and what a nice find. Plenty of parking and the staff are very welcoming. We went for a carvery and it was delicious. Will we be going again? Hell yeah 🤠
Our first visit to the pub and we were welcomed by the staff. Plenty of seats, great prices, and great beers.
Came here yesterday as a group of 7. 4 adults and 3 children.
The pub itself is very nice. Cosy and decorated well.
On arrival we waited quite a while to be seated.
It was very busy so the queue for the bar was very long to order food and drinks.
We all had the carvery. Reasonably priced for adults but I feel the kids carvery should be cheaper than £10.
We ordered food and drinks and was given a ticket with a number. When the number came up on the board, we could go and get the carvery.
The carvery service area is very small and there was a backlog of people all putting their veggies and gravy on so took a while to get our food.
The meat was OK. I had turkey and pork. Turkey needs to be carved thinner though! Good choice of vegetables and potatoes. Yorkshire pudding and stuffing were very good.
Overall a nice lunch and a nice atmosphere.
