Great selection of ales available and staff that know what they're on about. Great interior

Visited a few days ago on a Wednesday lunchtime and while I can see what Snarling Mallard means about the interior, I found it inoffensive and at least it's clean, warm and welcoming, with lots of seating in many different areas, including up on a mezzanine.

The beer was excellent. Tried Black Country Ales' Pig on the Wall, Wooden Hand's Black Pearl and Morton's Essington Gold. Very well kept, good cellar temperature and served with a smile by a friendly barmaid. I'll definitely be going back.

Walsall CAMRA pub of the year 2009 and 2010, plus local darts league champions. Good to see.

See pic for the ales board from that day.

Can't see what all the ranting is about over this place - except maybe that there aren't too many decent ale pubs in Walsall. Yes, the ale was good (Black Country Pig on the Wall in this case) but the place reminded me of, and felt like a Wetherspoons, albeit one of the better ones.

Came down from Cumbria following Carlisle Utd and a few groups of us decided to stop off at this pub,as Id read good reviews about it.
What can I say....ale heaven.....not enough time to get through them all (although wouldve if I wasnt at the game).Around 15 hand pumps on.
A friendly clean pub,every pint was served to perfection,a nice selection including Black country ales, and some from the West Country too (Devon and Cornwall). With my mates we all chose different ales and tasted most of them in the end. My favourite pint was Elderquad..cant remember the brewery
Wish there were more pubs like this..It was like a mini ale festival.Other lads who were drinking in there with us said the food was excellent and they also commented on the high quality of ale. Prices were also very reasonable too compared to many other places. Hope Walsall dont get relegated so we can have a trip here next year.....top notch and if youre in Walsall get yourself in for a few ales.
IT A 10 FOR ME.

In the 2011 Good Beer Guide which meant we could "discover" it last night. Indeed an impressive interior and a good range of ales, including quite a few stronger ones including stouts and specialities. Friendly service, and a good all-round experience. It was a Tuesday, so maybe that's why it was so sparsely populated. I hope it is better patronised at other times and can avoid the sad state of the pub opposite .
