The Waggon and Horses, Halesowen
Visited this hostelry yesterday. Nice pub with a very nice atmosphere and excellent range and quality of beers. The only thing I would criticise about it was the price of the Belgian beers on tap!!! �3.50 for a half pint is totally wrong! I was told it was because they have to import it (which is pretty obvious as it is brewed in Belgiam) but I know other pubs that have Belgian beer on tap, and they only charge half the price! It was the first time I have ever seen or heard of Duvel Green though, so it was an experience to try it.

The Jailhouse Rock Cafe, Tamworth
This is a biker's pub, home of The Jailers MCC. Good atmosphere and all people welcome with or without a bike. Sunday is a cracker with a great roast dinner for �3.95, good music and TOPLESS barmaids from 12 'till 5pm!!!

A 17th Century Coaching Inn, located in the small village of Pailton, just six miles from the M1 Junction 20. Really nice atmosphere and a very friendly welcome. Food is excellent and the service is very quick and pleasant without being overbearing. Good value for a great night out.

This pub is now closed. It is rumoured to be opening again in the future still as a pub, but NOT a music venue.

A real village pub which is difficult to get to, but worth it. I visited it for the first time on a motorbike and was made to feel really welcome. Dating back to 1168 and reputedly visited by Oliver Cromwell and his officers after the battle of Edgehill for food, drink and lodgings. A cracking building with good ale and food. The landlord Ron has a tale to tell and the regulars I met were a great bunch of people.

Just called in on the way back from Donnington Park after finding this pub on my sat nav! Had heard of it before but never been. What a cracker!! The landlord made me feel like one of the regulars and the beer was excellent. No smoking at lunchtimes except for the back room as the pub does excellent food and a lot of people are eating. Fair enough then eh? The beer was really good. I must go back when I am not on the bike! Everards first pub acquired by William Everard in 1887 and dating back to 1549. Well worth taking a detour to visit. Local CAMRA pub of the month recently.

This is just like any other Wetherspoons pub! Cheap drinks and food and a real mixture of clientele. Men in white shirts straight off the cardboard without washing and ironing freezing to death to look "cool" and girls wearing less than most do to go to bed in!! I just popped in for a pint or two before going to a show last night at The Prince of Wales Centre and it wasn't too bad at all. Nothing more than I expected and the barstaff were very pleasant as was the drink.

The Manor Arms Hotel, Abberley Village
Been to visit this pub today and whet a gem it is!! Great welcome, great beer and great food (generous portions!) Bikers are welcome and indeed bikes were talked about by people of all ages! I wish I could have stayed longer. Timothy Taylor "Landord" was cracking. I will certainly visit again when I am in the area.

What a fantastic place!! I went to the Robin 2 last night to a gig and was just walking down the road and came across a nice looking pub. When I went inside............Aladin's cave!!! 12 beers on handpull with some reallu unusual ones too. Belgian and German beers on tap including Kwak which I have never seen on tap before, and more wines and spirits than you could mention. The food sounded really nice too with a fantastic range and prices that were really reasonable. Beers start at �2.00 and don't go that much above that with 10p a pint off for CAMRA members that show their membership card! Shame I was on the bike. Now,.......... what times do the trains run to Bilston?

Cat and Fiddle Inn, Macclesfield
Good pub with a great view and great road to it on a bike for sure. Watch out for "The Feds" though! When you see a "Slow" sign, take heed too because unlike most roads, this means it!!!!
Pub sells nice coffee and has helicopter trips outside in the summer months.

What a great place!!! I found out about it on the net this morning and took a 200 mile round trip on a motorbike to visit and boy was it worth it!! Next time the bike stays in the garage and the train will take me if possible. Amazing is the word! Beer is first class, (what I could try!) and the staff and clientelle very friendly. The place is spotlessly clean and the restaurant is getting there so I gathered? An original atmosphere which is chilled and giving to a very relaxing experience. Can't wait to get back there and make the most of it!

This is a really nice pub just outside Nuneaton in a little "village". It is home of the recently formed Tunnel Brewery, whoi have been brewing for six weeks or so now and the beer is fantastic! The tria; brew was a success, styled like Timothy Taylor Landlord and the other beers are going so well too that the brewery is overwhelmed and overworked!!! Pub itself does great food and has a lovely restaurant. Well worth a visit, but get someone else to drive!!

Had a refurb in the last twelve months and is one of the "Ember Inns" group. On my last visit I enjoyed a fantastic meal with great service. The pub is very open planned, with therefore a great feeling of space. Nice and light and overall a great lunchtime. There was an excellent choice of real ales and the Greene King IPA was top notch. I will be going again!

Outrageously good caf�/bar in, wait for it, Coventry's 13th century Christchurch Spire. Getting a seat is nigh on impossible inside, but there is seating outside with patio heaters and they will come an light them for you if they aren't already lit, before you can get inside to buy a drink. The food and service (particularly the service) is phenomenal. Belgian beer is the house speciality, music goes live on a Thursday - but the essence of Inspire is its idiosyncratic but brilliant translation of the continental street bar and dining experience to Britain.The vibe of cosmopolitan city life means you could be in Amsterdam or Paris - but you know you're in England in all the good ways that conversation drifts from life philosophy to football with scarecely a wink from the staff and, on a good day, the noise of laughter and chatter becomes an anthem. Unique, pure and ... perfect.Truly world class, for many, Inspire is just about as good as caf� culture can get. One of the Midlands ... in fact, one of the UK's, best kept secrets, Inspire really does what it says on the can�

This place is a gem! It sells really good beer, but gets the crowds in to eat. When I say eat, starve yourself for at least 24 hours before you go to dine. The menu is brilliant and the food has always been good whenever I have visited. It is known for the food side of things and gets busy, so people tend to get there early to get a seat! (I jest NOT!) The steaks are amazing and American portions at VERY reasonable prices. 16oz rump for �8.95. Onion rings the size of flying saucers!! I am making myself hungry and am salivating as I write. Gotta go! Off for a bite to eat.
