   We have had a beautiful tasty Sunday roast there today, fingerpost pelsall, was very tasty. Couldn't fault anything, food was delicious, service and staff all so very friendly and helpful, was four adults and two children, even they loved it all. The dogs of the owners loved them, will definitely be going again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, amazing. Xxx

   It's funny how things turn out. I picked up the phone and with more than a touch of trepidation based on the fact that it was a mere three days away I asked of the availability of tables for mothers day. Fully booked mate, said the far-to-pleased-with-himself fellow on the other end of the phone which is how I came to be phoning instead The Fingerpost and making the same enquiry. Some context I think is required here. I'm in Bristol - the old folks live in Pelsall - and I needed proximity for those old legs. When the local failed, The Fingerpost squeezed us in and even allowed us to forego their required deposit based on our inability to pop in based as we are in the SW. We'd have to drive now but one of us not drinking was a small price to pay for not having to roast our chicken today. And then, as we enter, my father sees a starter which in his 80 something mind is somehow converted into a main course so as we're seated he's already convinced he's leaving here hungry. I'll cut to the chase. The staff here work hard. They are the epitomy of courtesy and good manners. We were asked at least twice if we needed recharges on our drinks (always a great sign in a busy restaurant since it means someone is paying attention to the important things). The food (pre-ordered) was served promptly and was really good value. Personally I had calamari, cod then chocolate mousse - the restricted mothers day menu playing slightly towards the modern but still catering for the traditionalists (parents both choosing soup, chicken and crumble). For a pub lunch it was difficult to fault but I think had there been one (a fault that is) the staff would have puts the clocks back for us so keen they were to please. A great meal and I fully recommend you give the place a go if you're in the area. And yes. My father had to eat his words, though ironically not all of his lunch, as he failed most miserably to consume the largest roast he declared he'd ever set his eyes upon.

   We had a thoroughly good time here. Service was superb and friendly, very polite. Food didn’t take too long and was presented really, really well. I had the pork belly which was so succulent and flavourful along with the starter of cheesy mushrooms & garlic bread. Again, really good. Only criticism on the table was the tandoori fish burger, not bad but the person eating it thought it would have been more full of tandoori flavours. Overall, really lovely. Reasonably priced, welcoming of people and dogs alike and just a great place to grab a lunch or dinner by the canal.

   Came across this place while waiting for my dog to be groomed elsewhere. Walked in and didn't see a member of staff, walked round to find a table was a few tables not cleaned yet from the last diners. Sat down checked the menu out was disappointed it was quite a small menu limited choice. The food came the breaded halloumi was delicious. The battered fish was okayish, the batter was nice the fish was bland. It was okay wasn't terrible wasn't the best. I would return to try the dinner menu. When leaving I went to the bar to pay and again was nobody there. There was a chap at the bar who had to text/call someone to come & let us pay.

   Went here for the first time for a Sunday dinner, my only criticism was that my Yorkshire pudding was a bit burnt.

   This is a really nice place, right next to a canal which is great to walk the dog. I was struggling to find a pub locally that allowed dogs and came across this pub whilst driving around. The food is really good and great prices too! There's always a warm welcome for us, especially my dog Jagger. A proper pub

   Met family here for lunch, excellent service and the Sunday Roast is excellent value. Staff very attentive, good selection of real ales, lagers, wines and sports as you would expect. Parking is available, although the car park is small. Would be lovely by the canal in the summer, will return to try this out.
