| Classic Black Country boozer that features on CAMRA's NI. Situated practically in the town centre, it's a 5-10 minute walk from Sandwell & Dudley station. Inside there's a bar room and a back lounge which wasn't being used on my visit, but the real attraction is the tiling in the bar room and the corridor that leads to the back. An interesting ceiling and well placed lamps add to the ambience. Had a pint of Shropshire Oracle which was excellent, although the Gold was turned round- pity, my favourite! One more guest beer was on but the presence of other pumps suggested I visited on an off-day. A small TV shows sport and a few locals were watching on my visit. Cheap pub grub is served at lunchtimes. An excellent, properly traditional pub which is worth seeking out. Carlurmston - 23 Nov 2009 13:44 |
| I take back everything I said about this pub! My parnter and I have been using this pub for the last couple of years, and although the "friendliness" of the staff can vary, it's always been ok. However my expience a couple of weeks ago has put me off going there again. I'd booked their upstairs room for my hen night, but was asked if it would be ok if we had the downstairs back room as they had double booked. I wasn't told that we'd have to share the room with anyone else, and all 20 or so hens would be crammed round two tables. The landlords were rude and insulting, and our room was taken over by a large group who's stubbenness and arrogance stunned me. I wouldn't ever speak to someone in such an insulting and patronising way. By the end of the evening the usually smelly toilets were so bad you could probably smell them several streets away. We made the most of it and stayed, but had we been able to find an alternative I'd have left. Being told to "got f******g somewhere else next time" by the landlord was the last straw. Hopefully this will be my one and only hen night, but in future we shall be taking our business elsewhere. valbear - 9 Nov 2009 15:23 |
| Its been a godd 5 years since i was last here and nice to see the respected JohnBonser has been in, as well as mtaylor40. The exterior is a superb Victorian example, with Holts etched windows and an old painted sign on the side of the building slowly weathering away. The interior has two rooms, bar and lounge. The interior is fantasic; ceramic tiles in a turquiose and cream. As JohnBonser says, the lounge is wood panelled. The place does food. Music was subdued and the service friendly. The place was quite busy considereing it was a Thu night, but most were of maturer age. Beer; Enville White, Rev James, Salopian Oracle, Shropshire Gold Summer Wines Brewery's Helios; with Brains Dark Smooth (MILD) and Smooth (bitter). I could had sat and drank through the lot, sadly, it was a swift visit. Sheer class and i look forward to returning Archivist - 7 Aug 2009 14:07 |
| I don't understand the review that said they don't care about their regulars. I'm new to the area, and started going here about 18 months ago. Andrew and Mark have always made me feel very welcome, and its by far my favourite pub in the area. The food is good, and Sunday lunch is excellent. We had my mother in laws birthday party there a few weeks ago, and Mark did us a really good spread of proper old style buffet food. Cheese and pineapple on sticks etc. It was lovely and just what she wanted. Its a proper old fashioned boozer, and we need to hang on to them. The only downside is the toilets, but you can't have evyerthing, and the friendly welcome and great beer make up for it. valbear - 13 Mar 2009 16:14 |
| We were there last Saturday early evening. The place was very quiet. They were not doing food, despite an A-board outside. The landlord explained that there was no demand on a Saturday night. The beer was OK, but perhaps not brilliant. The place was nearly deserted. The impression I got was that it was a pub dying on its feet. I hope I'm wrong, because once upon a time it was a 'bostin'' place as they say locally. simontheeditor - 14 May 2008 13:34 |
