| Beaut of a pub, beautiful decor, good seats, e e cent ales. Muzzy - 22 Mar 2022 12:05 |
| We got served quickly on Saturday afternoon and must have got the last table as the place was heaving. Tony Hadley should perhaps stick to singing though as I didn't rate my pint of his brewing company's Moonstone IPA at all. paul_d102 - 25 Mar 2019 20:34 |
| Revisiting this pub after a two year gap, and in the middle of a Monday afternoon rather than a Saturday. So much quieter then, and I was able to admire the fantastic interior. I had lots of time to admire as it was so quiet the bar staff had nipped off for a smoke. Finally served with a pint of the ubiquitous but adequate Doom Bar (3.75). Points for décor, service let it down a tad. Queenslander - 17 Sep 2017 22:37 |
| The interior is magnificent as is the case with so many Birmingham pubs and the theme surrounding the pub's history as a meeting place for former members of the 1914-18 British Expeditionary Force is moving and well presented - but the uncomplicated nature of the place is a fault as it comes across as a bit sub-Wetherspoons. The beer selection is unremarkable and the food looked as bog standard as bog standard could be. BoehmBawerk - 23 Jan 2017 06:29 |
| Can't disagree with the comments. It is a typical Nicholsons pub with interesting decor and fairly interesting well-kept beers. On a summer Saturday not crowded and not trendy or noisy. I would go their again. boblarkin - 31 Jul 2016 22:50 |
