About This Pub
You know, when it comes to finding a proper country pub that's not too far from Wolverhampton, The Oaken Arms really stands out as one of those places you'd want to tell your mates about. From the moment you walk in, the staff make you feel right at home – they're so attentive and genuinely friendly, like that deputy manager who popped over for a quick chat in the reviews I've seen. The food is spot on too; think hearty favourites and seasonal treats that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank, especially with those handy offers on mains. It's got this lovely rustic charm, whether you're enjoying a drink in the gardens on a nice day or warming up by the log fires when it's chilly. And if you're out for a walk with the dog or visiting nearby attractions like the Norman church in Codsall, it's perfectly placed. Of course, it's not all perfect – I've noticed the operating status can be a tad confusing, so you might want to double-check before heading out, and it does fill up quickly, so booking ahead is a smart move. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good meal and a catch-up, with that classic pub feel that keeps you coming back.

Cons

Food was absolutely exceptional and came out quickly and professionally. Staff were really knowledgeable about all things .
We weren’t rushed and enjoyed every course . The menu was perfect for us and chose exactly what we wanted .
From start to finish the whole experience was 5* and we couldn’t find fault with anything. Can honestly say were made to feel special and at home from the minute we walked in . We have no hesitation in recommending this great establishment. Well done to the whole team involved.
15/02/25 - Thank you to the team and in particular the young lady who served us for our evening meal. We often drive past and say we need to book a table. what a lovely venue, good food, clean, polite and professional staff, but most of all, the staff were particularly good at making sure you were looked after and checked in on you just at the right pitch to check all is ok and if there is anything else we needed. The plus is that its also dog friendly. Both my wife and I will definitely be visiting again. A special thank you to the young lady who served us, sadly we didn't ask for her name but her professionalism to detail was noticed and greatly appreciated. So thank you 🙏🏽
Great experience and lovely food. Staff were very attentive and gave great table service, 2nd time coming here and had a 50% offer off main meals which we didn't realise until arriving but well worth the money full priced.
Lovely friendly staff and food in the Oaken pub. We had a lovely cosy position by the wood log fire. We have dinned here several times before, They kindly sent me a voucher for a free bottle of Processco for my birthday. We had a mix of the 'Festive and All day menu' lovely food and atmosphere that all the family enjoyed. l'd highly recommend this pub /restaurant.
We went for Christmas Day and it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The staff were fantastic and we will definitely be going next Christmas
