Vine Inn Pub in Stourbridge

Vine Ln, Clent, Stourbridge DY9 9PH

About This Pub

Ah, the Vine Inn – it's one of those gems tucked away in the Clent Hills that just feels like a proper escape from the hustle and bustle. From what I've gathered chatting about places like this, the food really steals the show; think fresh fish specials that change with the seasons and hearty traditional dishes that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank. It's got that classic country inn charm, with a relaxed setting that's perfect for unwinding after a countryside stroll, and they're ace about welcoming dogs in the lounge area, which is a nice touch if you're out with your four-legged friend. The drinks menu is another winner, packed with local brews and ciders that pair brilliantly with the grub. On the flip side, though, it can get a bit busy, leading to waits for your meal, and the dog space is limited, so you'd want to book ahead to secure a spot. Plus, the hours aren't always straightforward, so it's best to check before heading out. All in all, it's a solid choice for a memorable pub experience – the kind of place where you leave with a smile, but just remember to plan around those little quirks to make the most of it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food is absolutely spot on – fresh fish dishes and traditional pub favourites like game pie are real highlights, with plenty of rave reviews about how tasty everything is.
It's got that cosy, welcoming atmosphere you'd expect from a traditional English country inn, perfect for relaxing after a walk in the Clent Hills.
They're super dog-friendly in the lounge, which is great if you're out with your furry mate, and they even encourage you to let them know in advance.
The drink selection is brilliant, with a good range of local ales, wines, and ciders that really hit the spot.
Service is top-notch, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home, as several folks have mentioned in their feedback.

Cons

There might be a bit of a wait for your food at times, like with those sandwiches that took a while in one review, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're in a rush.
The dog-friendly area only has a few tables, so booking ahead is probably a good idea if you want to avoid disappointment.
Opening hours can seem a tad confusing from what's listed, and it looks like they might not be open every evening, which could limit your options for a spontaneous visit.
While it's generally lovely, some might find it a bit out of the way if you're not already in the Clent Hills area, so planning your trip could take a bit of effort.

I've been to this pub since I was a child. Not always on horseback, but many a time. The staff are fabulous and helpful. No problem with you parking your horse rather than car 😉 🐴 There's seating outside by the carpark and a little stream. The horses love having a munch of grass, and my friend and I enjoyed a well-earned drink. Please note - only sat on the horse for the pic without my riding hat. I always ride with safety equipment. My shirt is high visibility. The local residents are superb around the lanes with horses and following the highways code.

Sunday lunch, 2 course and 3 course menu deal which is great for the quality of food. Lovely, cosy little pub that is perfect place for a roast after walking the Clent Hills. Very dog friendly which is great, although the dog friendly area only has a few tables so probably best to book. There are a lot of outside tables if sunny. Puddings were delicious, recommend the bread and butter pudding!

Loved this place. Amazing fish & super crispy chips! Two pints of Butty Bach were also spot on. We waited very little time for ours, but the people at the next table seemed to have a long wait for their sandwiches. Will definitely go again. Thank you Vine Inn.
