Quick info
About The Boycott Arms
The Boycott Arms is a country pub in Wolverhampton on Upper Ludstone, dating back to 1717. The kitchen and restaurant are waiting on refurbishment, so the focus for now is drinks, with real ales and lager on the bar. There is no full menu, though cobs, chips and pork pies are served. An open fire burns in the winter, and dogs are welcome. A car park sits across the road.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints carry weight. One reviewer waited far longer than the quoted time for three cobs and two portions of chips, found the chips cold and the cheese mild, and called the prices high. Another had a poor meal outside, citing a burger bun passed off as fresh bread and small squares of lamb, and felt the manager never apologised. A third says closing times drift to around nine, and an elderly couple with a walking stick arrived shortly after nine and were turned away at the door without a drink.

“Been past a fair few times always wanted to try here and glad we did .brilliant place .fresh cobs drinks were ace aswell good selection of ales 🍺”
- Emma Harrison
“Came on recommendation. We were told there was a 20 minute wait for our food order, 3 cobs and 2 chips. We waited 55 minutes for the cobs and an additional 5 minutes for the chips. The chips were cold and the cheese in the cobs was mild, not very good quality either. £4.95 for the cobs and £5.95 for the chips, overpriced when you can get a good cob in Bridgnorth for £3 . Won’t be returning.”

“Refurbished country pub, open fire in the winter, good selection of real ales and lager. Large outdoor seating area, worth a visit.”
- Sharon Heath
“Nice pub but the times they close are up for debate. 11 is the usual pub closing time but here it can be 9 or 9.30 as we've experienced in this last week or so. The pub is out of the way and not near other pubs so if you make the effort to go there you need to know when it will close. We were there during the last week and a young girl came out and said it was Last orders around 9 ish . An elderly couple can about 9..15 and walked across the road from the carpark, the lady was using a walking stick went into the pub and was told it was closed. A man obviously part of the pub was talking to a group of customers near by asked the older couple what they wanted and said obviously they couldn't have a drink as it was closing. Dreadful customer service I doubt they will ever come back. If you travel to a pub that is not on the beaten track you need to know it will be open when you get there. I will think twice before going there again.”
