Sitting on Brettell Lane in Brierley Hill, The New Wellington is a heartwarming success story that's become an absolute gem in the local dining scene.
The New Wellington has been thoughtfully refurbished with tasteful contemporary décor, bright green exterior paintwork, and a welcoming L-shaped bar that dominates the spacious single-roomed interior. Walls adorned with pictures, album covers and film posters create a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, whilst the bar ends feature charming stained glass details with little animals. Outside, there's a spruced-up beer garden and a brand new outdoor play area where kids can burn off energy whilst parents unwind with a pint and proper pub grub.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the carvery, available Monday to Saturday. Choose from a generous selection of perfectly roasted meats including beef, gammon, turkey and chicken, all served with fresh locally sourced vegetables, crispy roast potatoes, golden Yorkshire puddings, and lashings of rich gravy. Sunday is when the carvery truly shines, with many locals declaring it the best traditional Sunday roast in the area. Portions are famously generous and the prices are brilliantly affordable, making it exceptional value for families.
Beyond the carvery, there's a proper pub menu with classic British favourites including gammon baguettes, hearty main courses with all the trimmings, and a dedicated children's menu with generous portions. The full English breakfast has become a firm favourite with regulars. There's also a takeaway service if you fancy enjoying the carvery at home.
With free street parking in the evenings, four changing real ales on tap, and that rare combination of excellent food, reasonable prices and a proper family welcome, The New Wellington is exactly what its founding families envisioned – a place made by families, for families.
