Bloody Hell! Haven't been to the Saddlers since 1979. Used to be my local. Went on holiday to California in early '81 and never left. I miss the flock wallpaper, beer-smell carpet and the one-armed bandits ... and the Smirnoff ice bucket on the end of the bar - past 8:30pm it had all melted and that was it for ice in your vodka and lime.  I miss that place...

Congrats on winning Pub of the Year, best assistant manager (Jeremy) and best door supervisor (Errol) all very much deserved!

Forget the karaoke get some live music, and why you turned it into a bland characterless Solihull wannabe, Get a decent DJ, who plays new music as well as meatloaf, staff are great.

Beer selection more limited and usually very strong, Everards selection.  Always well kept though pity the advertised web information is not still true,  "to a wide selection of beers, wine and soft drinks. Beer favourites include Brew XI, Adnams Broadside and Youngs Bitter." the latter were excellent but no longer available. Was in Camra good beer guide 2004 - 2005

After visiting the saddlers arms it has put me off eating out for quite a while as the food was undercooked and served badly

I recommend the saddlers, the managers are friendly along with the staff.
The doorman are a laugh, good drink prices, with a happy hour everyday from 5-8pm and all day Thursday. karaoke every other Thursday and Friday Saturday nights have a regular DJ. everyone has a laugh and there is rarely any trouble.
I have been drinking there for a year and had some good times.
definitely recommended!

Used to drink there back in the early 1980s (it was one of three pubs favoured by staff on the Solihull News) and recently revisited. Excellent pint (or two) of Tolly Cobbold. Anyone know what it's like on a Sunday (late afternoon / evening)? It's just that we're looking for a place to hang out once a month (8-12 people), and we'd rather it wasn't too crowded / noisy.

It was a lot better before they did it out. Back then it was a proper pub now it is just another bland wine bar wannabe. None of the old locals and regulars will go anywhere near it. go there as a last resort before Rosies youth club, sorry i mean Rosies bar

Used to drink there with the Transco crew after work. Bar staff were always friendly and it is no longer the bikers pub that everyone thinks it is!!!

Live sporting events is the only reason I'd go here. Not bad.

What are they trying to do to the place with table service?
Sort the place out and get in back to being a proper pub!

I won't hear a bad word said about the Saddlers. It's my local & I love it! The bar staff are the friendliest I know, the drinks are cheap, the food's cheap & very tasty, the music's great & the doormen are friendly, welcoming & a great laugh!
The landlord   will have a laugh & a joke with you & generally I recommend the Saddlers to everyone & anyone. Its a great night out & although it gets really packed on Thurs, Fri & Sat nights, this just shows its popularity & is the ideal place to start your night out! We love you Saddlers!
