About This Pub
Ah, The Spring Hill in Wolverhampton – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered, the food is where it really shines; they're all about fresh, seasonal ingredients and have a real knack for fish dishes, with daily deliveries and even custom orders if you're after something fancy like lobster. The atmosphere is spot on too – relaxed and informal, with plenty of space to settle in, whether you're with a group or just nipping in for a quiet one. Prices are fair, and they've got options for all diets, which is brilliant if you're trying to cater to different tastes. The staff come across as genuinely helpful, and it's heartening to hear about the management stepping up, like sorting out a massive mixed grill challenge! But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect; one chap had a disappointing vegan curry that sounded a bit lacklustre, and a few mentioned that drink service isn't always as prompt as it could be. Still, with such a high rating from so many, I'd say it's a solid choice for a night out – just keep expectations in check for the specials and you'll likely have a fabulous time.

I visited in march and ordered a vegetable curry, which if I recall was a 'chefs special'. Additionally, I believe it was also the only vegan option they had.
It tasted as if someone heated up some watered-down generic 'curry' sauce, and poured some raw vegetables in the saucepan and boiled it for a few minutes.
I hope it has improved since, but I would advise vegans to avoid. There are so many better places to visit.
A good place to eat. Went with friends and sat outside. Nice evening, food was very good and reasonably priced. Atmosphere very friendly and family orientated. Could have done with a bit more table service for drinks etc but other than that I’d say give it a try. We would go again for sure.

10/10 every time we go! Have eaten here about 40 -50 times and never had a bad meal. We have travelled around the midlands to nearly every pub restaurant and this place is in our top two!! We visit as a group of 9 people every time, we all have different meals. From starter to main to dessert to coffee. Really quick service, staff are all lovely, from the person who speaks to you when you first walk in, the waitresses and waiter, and the bar staff. Open kitchen too, where the real work is done! You can tell this place is run like a ship, neat and tidy, all staff (lots of them) know what is needed of them! Cosy areas with a few tables and more open plan if you have a bigger group. Bar and food ordering till away from the diners so makes it’s a relaxed atmosphere and quieter in the dining area.
They even have cushions for customers, what a nice little touch!
Will I return that’s a definite yes!!!!!!!!!
We travel quite a distance to get to the Spring Hill but it is worth it every visit. Great food, staff and helpful management. A big thumbs up to one of the managers Dom who honoured his challenge from before Christmas and did me a mix grill to beat my appetite. Highly recommend the Sunday dinners, twice cooked pork belly and the minted lamb.
Had a fantastic meal here this afternoon. They have a separate Vegan menu and I chose the 3 course set menu. I had Pakora's to start then a gorgeous carrot and spinach wellington followed by a peanut brittle sundae 😋 Great portion sizes and very reasonably priced
