The Best Easter Family Dining in Walsall — And Why Shimla Peppers Should Be Your First Call
Easter is one of the best times of year to gather the whole family around a table. The kids are off school, the days are getting longer, and there’s a genuine excuse to make an occasion of it. If you’re deciding where to go this Easter in Walsall, we’d like to make the case for something a little more memorable than your usual haunt.
Shimla Peppers has been at the heart of Walsall’s dining scene since 1978 — nearly five decades of feeding families, marking milestones, and turning ordinary evenings into something worth remembering. This Easter we’re open throughout the school holidays from 4 to 22 April, and we’d love to have you in.
Why Easter Is the Perfect Time to Try Something Different
There’s a certain magic to eating out with the whole family at Easter. It’s one of the few times in the year when grandparents, parents, teenagers and little ones all end up around the same table — and the meal becomes the occasion itself, not just the backdrop to it.
At Shimla Peppers, we’ve built our entire restaurant around exactly that kind of evening. Our balcony dining area is ideal for larger groups, our private function space is available for bigger Easter gatherings, and our fully licensed bar means the adults can raise a proper toast to the season.
What to Expect on the Menu
Our chefs have been perfecting Punjabi and North Indian cuisine for generations. Every dish is made fresh using premium ingredients — from our legendary Afghani Malai Tikka to our slow-cooked Lamb Karahi and the crowd-pleasing Shimla Special Platter, which is genuinely made for sharing.
If you’ve never visited us before, the Shimla Special Platter is the perfect place to start — a sharing spread from our grill that gives everyone around the table a taste of what we do best. For vegetarians in the group, our Chilli Paneer has been a firm favourite for years.

Open Throughout the Easter Holidays
We’re open from 4 to 22 April 2026, Tuesday to Thursday 5pm–10pm and Friday to Sunday 5pm–11pm. Easter weekend itself (18–21 April) tends to fill up fast — we’d recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment.
