18 friends had a lovely meal. Very impressive diverse menu. All meals were hot and tasty and reasonable prices. Very polite staff. I will definitely return. Most 2 courses were under approx £20.

Absolutely great place to visit. The location is great, right on the canal. I could imagine when it is busy the waiting time may increase, but the meals are worth waiting for

Food was disappointing…Lovely beer garden, but this place used to represent value for money. Not now in my opinion. Kids both had burgers (adult ones) and they tasted very cheap meat. I had surf & turf, I asked for medium rare steak,but it was really over cooked. It was very busy and we’d waited 60 minutes for the food (we knew that). If one of the staff had asked me how was my meal I would have said something but no one did, so I left it.Shame really, lovely place to sit in the sun but I won’t order food next time.

Had a great t-bone steak. My friend had a sausage and big Yorkshire pudding. The food is great. Great service.

I’ve been in the midlands for 23 years now. I’ve always been a visitor to the Black Boy and mostly it’s been decent pub grub. It’s still a pub grub experience but it’s not spectacular. My mate is happy with what he’s served so no complaints from him but he’s in his comfort zone as usual. His mate had the Cajun chicken which he finished and enjoyed it though it looked dry. I ordered fish and chips. The fish itself was fresh as advertised. They get daily fish deliveries. The flesh was noticably fresh and devoid of any smell. And it was delicious. The batter was just too heavy for me. And the chips were tired and should have been retired. See photos. Just heavy and uninspiring. A cafe I go to uses the same sized chips and cook them fresh in small batches and they taste amazing. These didn’t. Even with seasoning. They weren’t nice. Just cook fresh chips and the quality of the meal will hugely improve.Two stars for location next to the canal and one for the lovely fresh fish. Not rushing back but we will return sometime.

We went for a birthday meal with family. The staff were very friendly and our food was really nice. Would definitely go back to enjoy the canal view with a beer on a sunny day.

One of my favourite pubs in the country. The food is always impeccable and leaves me feeling full and satisfied, the staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the place always has a lovely and comfy atmosphere. Bonus points cause its right by the canal where you can have a nice walk and they always have some good music choices

Visited mid-week with friends, great atmosphere, great food and super friendly staff. Drinks seemed a bit pricey but the food was good value. Thank you.
