The story
At Wolverhampton’s Desi Yew Tree, the line between pub and Punjabi kitchen blurs beautifully. Creators from Only Scans described being “blown away” by the sheer variety—from lamb chops to potato 65, fish pakora to masala chips, all served in a buzzing, walk-in-friendly space that feels like an extended family sitting room. The mutton curry, paired with a desi naan, embodies the venue’s soul: traditional spices, British pub bones, and no pretence.
What makes this spot special is its easy community energy. There’s live music, a lively bar, and a menu that invites return visits just to work through the options. It’s the kind of place where the food does the talking—bold, unapologetic, and deeply satisfying. For anyone craving a genuine desi pub experience in Wolverhampton, this is the real deal.

Dishes mentioned
Lamb Chops
I love my chops. They have a beautiful marinade on them, not overpowering, just enough to let the meat show off. They're perfectly done, so tender.
Fish Pakora
That fish, man. Marinated all the way through to the bone. It's got color in it, it's got flavor in it. Jesus Christ, it's incredible.
Masala Chips
Coated. Oh my god. Salty, sweet, spicy. I can see why they're one of the most popular things on the menu.
Potato 65
That's an unbelievable sauce on them. It's like chili sauce, but it's so sweet as well. And this is hilariously good.
Mutton Curry
You can see how tender that is. It literally just flakes apart. The lamb falls apart.
