The Jolly Crispin, Upper Gornal
I like this pub just not as much as I used to. Not such a wide choice of ales and there were. Staff not as.. um.. visible, shall we say. It's a lot quieter than it used to be. I tend to go in on Saturday afternoons and sometimes we've been the only 2 in there. It's a shame. Not sure what's happened.

The Waggon and Horses, Halesowen
The pub has lots of hardbacked seats - nothing too comfy - but the beer and food make up for it. An amazing choice of beers including one specifically for dogs! The cobs and cold pies (turkey & ham, pork) are fabulous. Only gripe is they recently started charging for gherkins. Boo! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the pub-goers talkative. Even if you went on your own, you'd soon make friends.

15 ales! Rated A to E. Splendid! You can order without fear of ordering the wrong type of beer!

Good selection of ales but not enough perries and darker beers.

I love this pub and regularly travel over 100 miles (200 mile round trip then) to eat here. Food is fabulous. You don't know how lucky you are to have a local "cuisine" and lovely local produce. Beer is good too although soft drinks can be a bit sweet!

It's not really gonna be a "gastropub" as that implies fiddly bits of fancy food on the middle of a big plate. It's sister pub, The Three Fishes at Mitton near Whalley, gives a better idea of what this place will be like: hotpots, potted shrimps, steak, devilled chicken, haddock and chips and the like and it's all local produce. I'd give the Three Fishes 10 out of 10 but I can't rate this one as it's not open yet (2 Sept scheduled; it's 22 August now)

The Wellington, Birmingham
Unless you can get a seat by the windows on the street, it's a bit of a dark womb, this pub. But the beers are many and varied. You can take your own food. The pub cat, Wellie, is delightful. Staff friendly. Sweeties in the loos! What's not to like?
