The Best Restaurants in Dudley, West Midlands, United Kingdom (2025)

Love it here. Mama, n jordan are amazing, Today I wasn’t feeling myself n felt a little uncomfortable but arslan came n stood near me n made me feel better.

Absolutely amazing service and food, we had the extra large tilapia and wings it was so lovely! Presentation is great too! Loved their chips. All this fed 4 people and we still had left overs to take away.

Five hungry and thirsty lads fed and refreshed thanks to the delicious food and how-they-should-taste real ales served by the two smartly dressed, hard working and friendly restaurant staff girls, together with the friendly guys behind the bar. The best quality food and real ales, a tribute to your kitchen and bar staff. We really do like this place, and it is well worth the short trip from Wolverhampton.

The Fountain Inn: A Great Place for a Sunday Lunch We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Fountain Inn with my wife and my mom and dad. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely. The pub itself is very cozy and inviting. It has a great selection of beers and wines, as well as a delicious food menu. We all ordered different things, and everyone was very happy with their meals. The portions were generous, and the food was fresh and flavorful. The service was also excellent. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. She also recommended some great dishes that we wouldn't have ordered otherwise. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at The Fountain Inn. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to eat in Dudley.

We had our staff Christmas meal at the fountain for the first time and I can honestly say the food was outstanding. Lovely home cooked food and the portions were just right. The staff were really friendly and very helpful and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend going here for a meal. We all really enjoyed our evening….Thank you!

Another great lunch with an easily drinkable bottle of red. Our usual selection of starter plates creates our own UK style of tapas. Superb food, freshly cooked each time. Great value for money, just look at the bill.Thankfully we have found a local pub close to home. We now visit on a weekly basis for lunch and will continue to do so. The garlic bread with cheese is sumptuous and melts in yer gob. Yours stuffed in Gornal.

I had an amazing experience at Olive Tree Italian Pizzeria! The authentic Italian flavors, from the perfectly crisp wood-fired pizzas to the rich and flavorful burgers and chicken sides, were absolutely delightful. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the attention to detail in every dish was evident. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the visit even more enjoyable. It’s clear that Olive Tree takes pride in offering high-quality food and excellent service. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a true Italian dining experience!

I had an amazing experience at Olive Tree. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly. The pizza was absolutely delicious — perfectly crisp crust, fresh ingredients, and great flavor. I highly recommend their pizza of the day— it was a standout! Whether you're dining in or getting takeout, you can't go wrong. Will definitely be back soon!

It was a wonderful Sunday, cozy atmosphere, very nice owners, delicate, lovely smell of wood from the burning stove.  It was worth driving 2 hours to eat several different delicious pizzas, hamburgers, bruschettas and salads including a various selection of drinks. We will definitely visit them soon. 🥰😍 We highly recommend this place !!!👌

Nice little place not far from the Dudley Town Hall. The service was great, they were willing to alter the calzone menu options to accomodate our vegetarian diet. They gave a small complimentary starter which was nice too. You can tell that the food is fresh and homemade. I also like how you get a choice in what size pizza you would like, as with some authentic Italian pizza places you only get one size. It wasn't overly priced either. Overall decent experience, would recommend.

First time visiting but will definitely be back. Great quality, authentic, Italian food, all very reasonably priced in a well kept restaurant with good atmosphere

Food was delicious fresh and hot staff were lovely and friendly restaurant very clean and welcoming will definitely be coming back soon

5* The service, the food & the wine were amazing. Cant believe I have just found this place, I love finding new Italians & this is now my new favourite! I had king prawn and crab linguine, prawns and crab were so fresh. Incredible flavours, lasagne was 10/10 also, as well as the cheesy garlic bread! Will be returning very soon

Fantastic place to eat Italian food. Great service

Tried Napoli for the first time today...the Margarita pizza was absolutely delicious, made fresh when ordered. Jo was absolutely lovely, very patient with us and very lovely to speak to, very professional. Definitely recommend.

Amazing Food and Wonderful Service! The food here is absolutely incredible — so flavorful and fresh every time. The staff are fantastic, but a special shoutout to Jo, who has served me multiple times with such a warm smile and friendly attitude. Jo always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommend!

Went to Napoli in the food court in Merry Hill Centre. Served by Jo, who was very friendly and polite, great service. Had the pepperoni pizza special with garlic bread and spicy fries.... bangin! Well priced and good portion size.

We visited first just before Christmas and we was served by Jo she was super friendly and welcoming she explained all the different things on the menu to us and nothing was to much trouble for her. We then returned today and again was served by Jo she really is an amazing worker she’s super polite and happy and is on top of hygiene straight away when serving every customer. She made both our visits super enjoyable and the food was also amazing.

I've heard a lot about this place. My chum Christopher Nott often performs here. I thought it was a social club, but it's actually a pub, and a very nice pub too. It's conveniently situated next to Dudley Zoo so if Chris isn't singing you can always sit outside and listen to the animals instead! The service here is first class. I'm a red wine snob and many places serve up pre opened bottles that are days old and taste like vinegar. Barmaid Kayleigh was excellent- So friendly and helpful, and quite happy for me to sample a little wine before she poured a full glass- That is proper good service! She is a asset to the pub. The crusty cob was wonderful with just the perfect amount of cheese- and it came with salad too. All in all a fantastic pub with great food, top service and friendly clientele 👍♥️🙂

We booked a surprise 60th birthday party, Zara who we dealt with through the whole experience was absolutely amazing, she made sure we knew every detail and was excellent with any information we asked about. The room was decorated stunning and so much effort was made to make sure all our guest had an amazing night. The staff were excellent throughout the night. The buffet food was delicious and the variety was amazing everything was brought out in a quick time. Would definitely recommend anyone looking to hold an function book this room.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch with family, staff very friendly, our waitress Daniella went above and beyond to make sure we have everything we needed. After the meal we moved into the bar area and enjoyed the entertainment, bar staff Zara and Stacey, friendly as always. Fun, friendly and fabulous pub ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came here for Sunday lunch today and it was amazing! Honestly the best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time. As a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 children) everyone loved their meals. The service was also excellent. We had: 3 adult Beef dinners 2 adult turkey dinners 1 adult lamb dinner 1 child beef dinner 1 child turkey dinner Great portion sizes for both adults and children. I like how the veg and gravy are bought out in separate bowls and we could all help ourselves. Great selection of veg and all of the meat was great! We then had puddings: 2 orchard crumbles (crumble of the day) 2 chocolate brownies 1 profiteroles 2 vanilla ice cream 1 kids chocolate brownie Again, all puddings were delicious. Value for money was good for what we had. We all agreed that we will definitely be returning soon! Thank you for a lovely Sunday!

I feel so lucky that Cafe Casita is a 5 minute walk from where I live, this is the second time I have visited this place with my wife since moving to the area and it is amazing. I believe it is a family owned Italian restaurant with a rustic Italian theme inside. You need to book as it is always busy, and rightly so, the food is absolutely amazing, tasty and is presented beautifully. Listen to the mature lady if she suggests a dish as my wife had the scallops that she suggested and I was left wishing I had the same. The outside of the restaurant could do with a slight uplift but when inside that really doesn't matter.

Cafe Casita was a great experience, it is set in an old pub but is very well decorated and a nice place to sit. The food was great and in line with other Italian restaurants I’ve been to. The price was on the higher end but all 4 of us enjoyed the different dishes we ordered. We will be visiting again!

We came on Saturday following Valentines, and after our 1st course I couldn't understand why we were the only people in there. Absolutely stunning food, the young man who served us was polite and helpful. We went into the sports lounge after for after dinner drinks and again, great atmosphere, but couldn't understand why we were alone. Would Absolutely recommend the old glass house for food, or drinks, outside of their events. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and are planning a return visit. Thank you so much for making it a lovely experience.

I have always loved the Old Glass House in Dudley but heard it was under new management and couldn't wait to try it. The revamp looks lovely! They have done it really well and it looks very modern and pretty! The food was amazing, they have done a really lovely job with the new menu. We had a lovely bottle of red, two starters, two mains and two cocktails and it came to just under £90 which is very reasonable for the quality of the food. It was very quiet for a weekday as expected, but was still really lovely atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and the service was good! I'll definitely be returning again. Had a lovely evening. 😊

Excellent food. Friendly helpful staff. Clean. Cosy atmosphere.

Although we have eaten here before it was our first Sunday lunch. We thought we would give it a try as we had heard good reports. Unfortunately our booking seemed to have "disappeared" but no problem as the very helpful "Alicia's sister" found us a table. The service and atmosphere was relaxed which suited us. The roast beef, and turkey were excellent, tasty and tender however the "trimmings" were a little sparse, with only a quarter of a roasted carrot and same for parsnip. We also thought the green beans and savoy cabbage were a lot less than "al dente" and would have benefited from an extra few minutes cooking, I suspect it wasn't just us judging by what was being left on the plates of others and suggest it needs addressing. The desserts were a good end to a pleasant time.

Had been to the summer house since before covid, We booked a table and was sat in the bar area, which we loved, lovely atmosphere, the food was delicious, cooked to perfection 👌shall definitely be going back again. All the staff were so friendly, made us feel very welcome. Hope they bring back the kids play area so we can bring the grandchildren in the summer, it was lovely looking at the horses in the joining field while having a nice drink. All in all for everything 5 stars all the way

Fantastic place to go. Very friendly atmosphere and the staff are great. Food is cooked fresh and it's bloody lovely. Plenty of different beers to chose from. Christmas lights are also a fantastic touch and looks brilliant. If you want a family meal with the kids this is the place to go over Christmas as the kids will love it 🤛👊

I didn't eat here my friend did however he said the food was delicious. The staff were amazing. The young girl behind the bar could not have been more helpful. She had worked all weekend and was still happy and friendly. First time I've been there and without doubt I'll go again. Totally recommend it , it had a friendly local feel 👍

Great pub with delicious food. I was there for the second time and I was still nicely surprised with the taste of meals. Portions are big, the food is freshly made and is nicely decorated on the plates . The staff are friendly and the pub is clean and tidy. Summerhouse has plenty of car park spaces and also the garden with the tables and sits outside. Behind the garden area there are meadows with wild flowers and free roaming horses. I highly recommend this pub. It's a shame for me that this pub is not close to Coventry where I live.

Great venue, clean and tidy. Staff were excellent, helpful and polite. Food and drink were reasonably priced. The food was delicious.

Went here for breakfast 21st December 2024 the meal we couldn’t fault it was warm and very filling. Service was very friendly and a lovely atmosphere. All of the staff are excellent. We have been before and will continue to visit again and again. Its value for money and no negatives at all. What more do you want. A great day out by all.

Staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly! The food and service was great too! We had 2 steak in ale pies, mixed grill and double cheese burger off the kids menu with a candy mania kids ice cream, so much food we struggled to eat it all, excellent portion size and good quality food for such a reasonable price! It was my daughters birthday, a lovely lady behind the bar made her feel very special by wishing her happy birthday and asking her about her day! Very thoughtful! Great evening 😀

I made a group booking for a works Xmas meal at Castle View, was very easy to get booked and communication was great the whole way through. Nicole and the team at Castle View were great dealing with a large booking of 34 people all ordering different meals and drinks. Our table was set up with Christmas crackers and the atmosphere was lovely. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was great. Thank you all at Castle View!
