The Flora, Kensal Town

Due to close its doors forever in January 2016. So sad to see another old pub go to the developers. Best wishes to the landlord and hope he gets set up in a suitable replacement.

Fellows, Dudley

Went in for a meal on a Friday afternoon with 3 kids in tow. The bar downstairs was quite busy so we opted for upstairs which was empty. Our drinks and food order were taken promptly and food arrived with 15 minutes. All the staff we saw were quite young but polite. The bill for 2 adults 3 kids 2 courses I drink each came to �30.
The low rating is due to the food, I remember coming here in the 80's when it was still a private members club. The dining experience was of the very highest standard and somewhere you would come for a very special occassion( sea bass, tornado rossini) . Those days are gone, the menu could be from any pub menu anywhere steak and bugers everything microwaved or deep fried. . I counted 8 unavailable items on the already small menu. The food arrives bland and uninteresting, the chips are cardboard tasting thick oven variety that bring on a raging thirst. Overall a disappointing family meal.

The Shrewsbury Arms, Dudley

It's like some other pubs in Dudley, in that they open when they feel like it. Last visit here was abysmal. The place has an old fashioned atmosphere (and old fashioned bogs). The bitter was like soap suds. Left half a pint and shot round the corner into the Old Priory for a PROPER pint.
