Large pub serves the same range of food that I have not eat for years, beer excellent and cheap. Beer kept lovely and most guest beers less than two pounds.

This pub has been going down hill for a couple of years, less people are using it so the price keeps going up. Last night and before I have seen beer from the slops tray being put into customers glasses. Another ploy to make more profit but very unhealthy, if you drink here make certain you stand at the bar so you can see your drink being poured, this can be difficult as some is from the other room so pick your place with care. Preferably at the end of the bar. My visits here are very numbered if this practice does not stop I will be off, don't think if you are a regular it won't happen to you because it did for my mates and me and I have been drinking here for over twenty years.

Beer and food excellent, ate and drank hear a few times over the week. Locals very friendly and Helpful with recommendations on where to eat, drink and visit. Little private room at the end gives the best advice. The pub has not been decorated in years but this adds to the character of this gem. Food excellent, gammon, steak, lasagne very good tried them all.

Great pub, I love my beer but always go for the cider at the Orchard. Love the black rat and the old Rosie.. Cider with a pork pie is a good combination. Great back street pub near to the ss great Britain..

What a great return visit after a couple of years. Very friendly pub with a great selection of beer. The new landlord chap with a beard was very helpful and knowledgeable about the beers. Liked the music and the pub cat.

Did not have time to try again so the poor quality of the beer may have been a one off, please try for yourself and post a comment.

Been back again after a couple of years tried all the four real ales and all were in great condition even had the new beer another Wye Valley HPA excellent also. Food was also good, the pub has been done up but still has a nice feel and character has not been lost...

Friendly back street pub, only one real ale now Hobgoblin excellent pint and the food was good also. Nice kept pub that is dog friendly and used by locals. Food that is not over priced also doing 2 4 1 deals. We will be back...

Beer tonight was very poor, this maybe a one off from reading other reviews. Food was also not the best my burger was okay but the wife's meal of macaroni cheese was bland. Other four in the party had nice meals chef was at the twelve bells before and his food was always good. If I go in again I will update

The Whitefriars Olde Ale House, Coventry
Drank here many times now, never had a below average or bad pint. The beer has always been superb, I like really dark or light beer great range of beers from all over and many from Byatt's Brewery Coventry. Only bad point is that the gents floor is often wet so check your laces before you enter.

The Three Kings Inn, Hanley Castle
Had a couple of visits again this week. What a pub? Don't expect a modern pub here. Grubby old pub, pub, beer, landlady, locals and dogs all superb. I have been to many pubs, this one has to be one of the best. There must be more gems like this out there I will have to keep looking for them. Who needs a time machine?

Had a very nice pint sitting in the sun overlooking the canal. Will visit again and add more comments. Food looked good but I did not try any or look at the menu

Just had a very nice weekend on the camping and caravanning site at the back of the pub. Good beer, very friendly pub, fish and chip van (excellent) visits on Friday and you can eat them in the pub. Three real ales that change, we will be back very soon, lot of good pubs in the village and nice walks

Visited at least 4 times last week and ate three meals, food and beer excellent. They did not give me the choice of glass type or what plate they served the food on, but had a good time. Will be back next year

Ye Olde Red Lion Hotel, Market Bosworth
Good pub, nipped in from the Bosworth Hotel just a couple of minutes walk, the range of real ale and quality was excellent. Beer in the Bosworth Hotel was not worth washing the car in. Worst beer I have ever had. nice to find a quality pub so close.

The Crown and Trumpet Inn, Broadway
Very nice pub and the beers were of very good quality and range, well worth a visit. We had the food two years ago and it was only average, did not eat this time but others told us not to bother. The landlord seems a nice chap and is very keen on his beer don�t forget to try the mild.

Do not miss this pub if you live in or visit Birmingham. Good real ale and good example of a real corner plot local town pub. regular beer festivals.

One of the best three pubs I have visited. The Oakhams beer is always good and a large selection. The food is also very good and good value. Lovely Victorian Pub. If you are a beer lover or a historian a good place to visit
