About The Shire Oak

The Shire Oak is a pub at 261 Lichfield Rd in Walsall with a beer garden that includes a kids' toys and play area, so families with children have room to spread out. Inside, a pool table and darts sit alongside plenty of TV screens showing live sports, and the pub also hosts live music events. The kitchen works from a 66-dish menu that takes in Southern-Fried Chicken Tenders, chicken schnitzel and katsu chicken curry, and a Sunday roast is served as well. Dog owners can bring their pets along.

Customer Review Summary

Sunday roast and Sunday dinner draw the most mentions, with reviewers praising the quality of the food and one noting that a request for extra gravy was no trouble at all. Close behind, a new menu brings chicken schnitzel and katsu chicken curry, and one reviewer points out food is served from midday seven days a week. Another says meals came out quick and hot even when busy. Staff are described as friendly, welcoming and polite, and the landlord as hospitable and attentive. Families mention the beer garden and outdoor play area with toys, and one group of 25 paying separately still had every meal arrive at the same time. Others note pool, darts, live music, plenty of TV screens for live sport, plush comfy seating and a cracking pint. A charity day left one visitor with a real community feel. One booking hiccup ended with the manager making the visit better for the party.

    “After a slight hiccup with a booking, the manager couldn't have made our visit better for us if tried. Lewis the server was very very polite, helpful and attentive. The food was lovely and portions are amazing for the prices. The pub is clean, great atmosphere. Nice beer garden with things for the kiddies to play. Pool table, entertainment and it's a cracking pint. Thank you Jamie and staff”

  • Lee Connolly
    “We’ve visited the Sire Oak a few times recently and have had a lovely experience every time. We recently went for Sunday dinner and were really impressed with both the quality of the food and the service. The staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful — even when we asked for extra gravy, which was no trouble at all! We also attended their charity day and had a fantastic time. It was great to see a local pub getting behind such a worthy cause and bringing the community together. We definitely need more of this in our local area. A great local pub with lovely food, friendly staff and a real community feel. We’ll definitely be back!”
