Lots of beers available, bit of a beer tickers dream, not too many locally produced beers so worthwhile if you want so you something a bit different.

Returned to The Jolly Crispin for the third time on Easter Sunday evening and left disappointed. The beer selection is still good - Dark Star Hophead, Tom Wood Harvest Bitter, Nethergate Green Pike & Umbel Ale, Cathedral Magna Carta and Fullers ESB and London Pride. There are no real ciders any more. However what really let this pub down was the service. Whilst the one barman was pouring through a new beer, the solitary barmaid chose to ignore us in favour of one of the locals who had strolled up to the bar and got served straight away despite us having waited 3-4 minutes. I shouted across 'It looks like we're being ignored' in a sarcastic tone and received no response. Eventually the barman served us whilst the barmaid kept giving us 'dirty looks'. I've worked for several years in pubs over the years and it's not too difficult to clock the order in which people come to the bar. As a customer I also find it common courtesy to point out anybody who has been waiting longer than I have. Despite the good choice of real ales and nice enough interior, I will be giving this pub a wide berth in future. The ignorant bar staff and customers let it down badly.

Enjoyed our visit to this popular friendly pub. Good range of ales on from old favourite breweries like Thornbridge (Jaiper) and newer ones like Brass Monkey and Whitehaven. We also had a dark beer Saltaire Titus Black. I don't think that was the only dark beer, but I have only recorded the 5 beers we had on this visit. Superb pub.

Oh dear. Whats happened..

We have been here on numerous occasions and the beers were always excellent and the choice superb.

The choice this time was very limited. Too many beers of the same style. Light hoppy beers. What happened to darker stronger beers ?

The quality wasnt as good as it has been either. Perhaps we called in on an off day, but having been here many times in the past, we were disappointed this time.

Not that we wont be going back. These things happen. It would be a shame if this were to be a regular occurence.

Dont let it slip.

I rate this pub ( based on this visit ) 6/10

An enjoyable cosy and friendly pub. A good selection of beers on my visit, including a dark one - Wickwar Station Porter, in excellent condition.

Comfortable lounge bar at the rear with panoramic views of the Black Country is well worth seeking out.

Clearly a good ale pub, with a nice relaxed atmosphere, would be good for a session but was only able to stay for an hour. Will be returning though!
