The Sportsman Club 13 High Street, West Bromwich B70 6PP

"My main go to match day place. Been coming here many years. Always great food, atmosphere and service. Large outdoor area with TVs and in the summer outside bar service."

"Outstanding food at pre-2008 prices. Few things compare to a Desi pub - great cuisine, friendly locals and a down-to-earthness (look it up) severely lacking in towns across the land. Having ventured down to the Black Country from Wrexham, we found our train delayed by an hour or four, so decided to hop off at the Hawthorns train station, walking to the Sportsman on the recommendation of Jay Rayner in the Guardian. I can say with some certainty our return leg will have a similar pit-stop (and the luggage will have copious room for leftovers!). Well done all involved and what a refreshing lunch it was for two wee Welsh women."

"Best Indian grill by far,curry's are absolutely spot on..mixed grills are very consistent with the flavours and quality,well all the food is..eat here all the time,would highly recommend eating here...."

"A lot of nostalgia and memories involved when discussing this Desi-Pub. I've had many great nights in here over the last 20 years, to the soundtrack of the Punjabi songs on the jukebox! Also been in on West Bromwich Albion match days when it's absolutely packed. Quite busy when big matches are on tv too. Food-wise, it's one of the original Desi-Pubs where people have been going for a Mixi. It may not always be to the taste of newer people in the mixed grill scene, but a lot of us older guys love it. Visited recently for the first time in years and was surprised that they've finally introduced table service. There had previously been occasions where I've ordered over £200 worth of food in a big group of lads, and we'd been made by the chef to collect it all ourselves! It's still the same main chef there though. Good selection of drinks. Noticed the prices have gone up a fair bit, but that's just life at the moment with almost everywhere. Bar area is great for chilling out with a beer, playing pool etc. Separate restaurant area is very comfy with big booths for large groups. Big outside space too for smokers or drinking in the summer."

"Me and my partner big mac come here after work quite alot . We shared our song over a full table of korma and chilli chips and a moist garlic naan . The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is absolutely stunning. Looking forward to many more splendid memories in the forthcoming xxxx"
