The Vine

Head down to Roebuck Street in West Brom and you'll find The Vine doing exactly what it says on the tin. This is the kind of place where you can rock up for a proper meal—grilled meat done right, drinks that don't come with unnecessary theatre—and actually enjoy yourself without breaking the bank. The fact that nearly 2,300 people have bothered to leave reviews says something. It's the sort of spot that's busy because the food works and the vibe's right, not because of hype. You're getting honest cooking in a relaxed setting where locals actually want to spend their time.
