Barman was attentive on our recent visit, I indulged in Ringwoods 'Boon Doggle', a well kept pint.

Marston's Pedigree in tip top condition on my visit. Comfortable and welcoming pub with efficient and friendly service. Serves very good value, home-cooked food including traditional dishes such as liver and onions and chicken casserole. Well worth a visit. 9/10.

Pleasant enough pub, the real ales are acceptable.

Known locally as The Drum the beer maintains it's usual high standard but the choice remains resolutely dull. Pleasant terrace through the back of the pub. The toilets haven't been cleaned since 1856 and have now developed their own unique ecosystem.

Well you have obviously not been in there for a while as the new tenants have done and are doing a real good job with the pub now. They have a guest ale on every week and the Pedigree has to be the best in town. Food is good to with good staff serving i think it has to be one of the best real ale houses in Lichfield.Pop in and see for yourself. I saw Stray Dog the blues band play in there this week and what a night! great beer great company and fine beer what more can a man want!

The previous reviewer is spot on, this is just another boring Marston's /Banks's outlet. It used to be a fine establishment bakc in the day but now has little to recommend it. Sad really.

I find this pub, known locally as The Drum, very annoying in that it should be better than it is, a bit like the Kings Head, not far away.

The brick facade is partially hidden by an arcade, but the main window is impressive. There is a small beer garden at the back. The interior is nice, wood based. The service was fine, the clientele mixed, from the shouty kids to quiet older bloke.

It won a Parliamentary Award, from the All Party Beer Group, for its real ales - why? it serves the usual tosh, no MILD and Marstons Bitter and Pedigree - ahhhh there is your answer, Michael Fabricant loves Pedigree, which is as common as you can get for a real ale. It has one other guest, the last few i have seen being Jennings Tom Fool, not their best and Brakspear Hooray Henry.

This pub has so much going for it, yet it never hits the mark with me - i really wish it, like the Kings Head, would. It's ironic, i will keep popping in, yet never really look forward to it
