The Garden Bar Grill in Wolverhampton

200 Birmingham New Rd, Lanesfield, Wolverhampton WV4 6NZ

About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about The Garden Bar – it's this charming little grill in Wolverhampton that's become a bit of a local favourite for its sizzling mixed grills and mouth-watering curries, all served up in a cosy, family-friendly setting. I've heard from loads of folks that the food really shines, with authentic flavours that pair brilliantly with their selection of draught beers and spirits, and it's ace for a casual night out or even watching the footie on their big telly. The prices are fair too, so you get good value without feeling short-changed. On the flip side, though, it's not all perfect; some people have had to wait ages for their meals, and there've been a few grumbles about inconsistent quality, like dodgy chips or unhelpful service that can leave you a bit frustrated. Overall, it's worth a visit if you're up for some hearty eats and a relaxed chat, but maybe plan ahead and keep your expectations balanced – it's got that real community feel when it clicks, but like any pub, it has its off days.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food is absolutely spot on, especially their mixed grills and curries – they're packed with flavour and feel like a proper treat after a long day.
The staff are generally lovely and welcoming, making you feel right at home, which adds a nice touch to the whole experience.
It's a cosy, family-friendly spot with a great garden area for enjoying a drink outside, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality, so you won't break the bank while tucking into some banging dishes and a cold beer.
There's a large TV for catching the footie, which is brilliant if you're into sports and fancy combining a match with a meal.

Cons

Wait times can be a bit of a drag, sometimes up to an hour or more, which might put you off if you're in a rush.
The quality isn't always consistent – some dishes like chips or salads have let folks down, making for a disappointing bite.
A few staff members have come across as rude or dismissive when things go wrong, which can sour the atmosphere a tad.
Not every menu item hits the mark, with some reviews mentioning things like poppadoms tasting off, so it's hit or miss at times.

Absolutely terrible chips and salad. We asked for them to be changed and they made us pay. Was in edible. When we asked for normal chips they said we would have to pay for another portion. The lady was quite dismissive tbf

We ordered a large mixed grill catering for a private birthday party, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was packed with flavour, perfectly cooked, and a huge hit with everyone. The service was excellent—friendly, efficient, and very accommodating to our requests. They even helped us order the right amount, ensuring there was plenty for all our guests. Highly recommend for top-quality food and outstanding service!

Not a great experience here. Waited 1 hour 20 minutes for 2 burgers and chips and some chicken noodles. Asked for an update on our food and waiter was quite rude and just said it’s next out. The food ended up coming out 30 minutes later and it was disappointing. However spoke to the manager about this and he was so lovely and very apologetic which made us feel slightly better about the experience there. Won’t be returning again unfortunately.
