West Bromwich's HIgh Street is a bit run down. But the Wheatsheaf points to better times in days gone by. It has a nice, traditional interior and is clearly a much-loved locals boozer where conversation rules. I chose to sit in the front bar with mostly elderly regulars. There appeared to be a rear room with nobody in to. This is a Holdens house that had 3 ales - Bitter, Special & Golden Glow. Live Premier League football was showing on the TV in the corner. Probably the highlight of my trip to West Bromwich.

Thought I had accidentally tripped back in time with beer at £2.55 a pint, locals wearing 80's fashions and The O Jays on the jukebox. Pleasant pub with Holdens ales plus guest.

My favourite pub in West Brom, been using it for nearly thirty years.
A good value range of Holden's ales, the price of the mild has only just broken the �2 barrier, always an obscure guest on.
Large lunchtime menu served in decent portions.
Very popular before & after WBA home games.
Most sporting events shown, TV in L shaped bar, projection screen in long lounge which is also the venue for regular rock bands on a Friday or Saturday night.
Sun trap patio out the back, smoking shelter there too.

Not sure why valbear says there is a limited choice of beers - perhaps things have changed in the last 6 months - yesterday they offered Holdens Bitter, Special and Golden Glow plus 3 guests on handpump and Holdens Mild on electric. Mild and Bitter were under �2 a pint. Food menu looked good.

The new management have done a great job and its probably the best pub in the area now. The food is great value for money, and although there is a limited choice of beer, its very well kept. I've never had a bad experience here and the staff and management are always very friendly.

Good tradiotional hostelry with Bar and lounge split in traditional fashion. Holdens pub, and the Ale is usually good here. the food is also quite decent.
|
Holdens pub with 2 rooms and a central bar. Full range of Holdens beers plus the monthly seasonal. Friendly and accomodating with seemingly an older clientele. Food from 12.
A likeable place.
