Looks like may have changed hands from the previous comments. Couple ales on tap, if I remember correctly I had a green king ipa. Decent enough. Quiet when I went in but whom I assume was the owner was pleasant enough. Quite a large and spacious place, pool table, juke box ect. also plenty of parking.

The Bloxwich Showman, Bloxwich
Was pleasantly surprised when i went in as its been done up very nice. 2 floors, quite spacious and the usual array of ales youd expect from a weatherspoons
8 Nov 2015 13:54
Decent pub this. Impressive interior and good choice of ales on at the bar. A bit lifeless when we went in though

The Great Western, Wolverhampton
Think the posts below speak for themselves but all i add is traditional black country food is ur things then this is the place with grey peas and bacon and faggots on the menu. Fantastic pub

The Fiddle and Bone, Birmingham
Nice to see this pub back open. We went in during the evening. Lively crowd and entertain. Large pub situated over two floors.large selection of ales
24 Oct 2015 09:13
Great little pub on the back streets behind the nonsense of broad st. Unless you look for it you'd never know its there, which is a shame as it probably misses out on customers although it was rammed when i went in. Bit the like ivy bush up the road proper sort of boozer but with more choice of ales. Quite small with the bar and lounge rolling into one unless i missed a room round the back. when we were in free food put on by the staff which is always a winner. Pool table also in the main area.
24 Oct 2015 09:11
Brillaint pub. If you're looking for ales probably not the places but had a decent pint of mild. If youre looking for a old skool boozer this is the place. Much larger than it appears from the outside with quite a long bar and two big back rooms and both with pool tables. Juke box also. Sky sports. Welcoming staff. Over charged us which we didnt realise and was good enough to bring difference a short while later. Nice to see pubs like this still going
23 Oct 2015 22:22
Part of the bitters and twisted chain which includes the victoria and jekyll and hyde in brum tc. Very good pubs but this one had a slight gloomy feel to it. Quite expensive and more food orientated. Still a decent choice of ales
23 Oct 2015 22:17
Choice of 3 ales on including green king and epa. It has a bit of chain feel to it. Large beer garden outside so maybe decent in the summer
23 Oct 2015 22:12
Very much like the wellington in brum city centre with the list of beers on a screen. Absolute massive choice of ales. Quite small with country feel to it.
23 Oct 2015 22:08
Proper locals pub but left alone to enjoy probably the best pint of mild ive had to date.
8 Oct 2015 22:35
The Bells of Peover, Lower Peover
Went there as there was at wedding reception on the grounds. Lovely setting with the church right opposite. Quite a posh place. 3-4 different ales on pull. Nice staff
8 Sep 2015 19:28
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Nottingham
Fantastic pub and a must if your in nottingham. Its built into the surroundings and claims to be the oldest pub in england. A great choice of ales. Was very busy when we were there on a saturday afternoon. Bit of a labyrinth inside which adds to its character.
13 May 2015 22:12
The Navigation Inn, Nottingham
Just off the main canal strip next to the irish centre. Decent pub with a lot of ales on pull. Friendly staff also
13 May 2015 22:07
Decent lloyds bar this with the array of beers a typical weatherspoons offers
13 Apr 2015 20:31
The Argyll Arms, Oxford Circus
No back open. Decent pub, decent beer amidst the hustle & bustle.
26 Mar 2015 13:50
Didnt explore the pub but seemed to have several rooms. The front room we were in was quite small but had a pool table. Had just run out of doombar so had a john smiths. Juke box in corner. Barman friendly.
15 Feb 2015 21:06
A bit non descript really. Has an estate pub feel to it although was in no means moody on my. Visit. Large open plan lounge which i stayed in. No ales so had to have a worthingtons. Barman seemed friendly enough
15 Feb 2015 21:03
Great little pub that has a country feel to it. Several ales on the pull i think i had a everards. Football on the telly if u like that, juke box. They do small snacks like sandwiches ect. Friendly staff also.
8 Jan 2015 22:01
Surprisingly nice pub considering the low ratings. Didnt find it rough in the slightest. Had a hobgoblin and a banks bitter. Theres a narrow lounge as you work in and if you go through the doors directly infront on you it leads you onto a more spacious room at the back with a pool table and juke box. This room though doesnt contain much seating.
8 Jan 2015 21:58
Great old skool type boozer in the back drop of nechells. Old looking outside and in but not in a bad way. Only had a quick one on my dinner so only saw the room as you first go in, which is pretty small. Staff and locals friendly and i must say had the best pint of ansells mild ive had to date.
28 Nov 2014 20:22
Situated right opposite aston station. From the outside looks quite a old historical building. 2 rooms inside and a pool table. As with most in the area youll find a nice pint of mild
13 Oct 2014 22:26
Now named the witton arms. Has a nice local feel to it with a very strong irish theme. Decent pint of mild on pull. Nice in the summer to sit out the front and watch the world go by, well was much as you can in witton
13 Oct 2014 22:22
The Hare of the Dog, Perry Barr
Was pleasantly surprised by this place. Never knew the place existed until someone recommended. Decently size pub with large beer garden. Pool tables juke box ect. The beer lets it down slightly as only john smiths on pull. Although i had nice bottle of bombadier with my mate having a newcy brown, both coming to a little over a 5er. Agreed its a student pub but when i popped in for a friday dinner pint it had a nice vibe. Well worth a look
13 Oct 2014 22:15
Very impressed with the quality of food. Holdens, timothy taylor and two more i cant remember on tap. Nice relaxed sunday afternoon drink. Nice bit out the back you can enjoy if weather suits. Staff seemed friendly.
21 Sep 2014 21:18
Well worth a visit if in the vicinity. Like previously said a small pub but not as small as a i expected. You walk in and you are basically at the bar. There are 3 tall tables you can sit at and a fairly large patio area to the left with a few tables and chairs. Lots and lots of beers to suit all tastes. Some are expensive but the pint i had was £3.60 which aint bad for london. Lots of graffiti on the walls where people have signed on their visit. I normally dont mind stuff like as it adds character but i feel it makes this place look a bit shabby. One other point is the obvious enthusiasm the staff have for beer!
7 Sep 2014 10:01
Decent pub this. Quite narrow inside but a large garden area and a big conservatory at the back that doubles up as another room. A couple locals having a quiet game of darts and 3 ales on pull. Nice friendly pub
12 Aug 2014 19:38
Like the Cornubia very hard to find but worth a look. We stopped in here before the train home and was quite lively. A selections of decent beers and a juke box.
21 Jul 2014 20:26
Like reviews have said very hard to find. Looks very different to the pictures on here as now lined with england bunting and flags. Quite a hard one to describe as sort of a estate feel to it but 100 % an ale pub and you'll see once inside. Fairly small inside and with a good selection of beers. Look out for the tortoise kept as pets in the tank. very random pub but one of the best i visited throughout the day
21 Jul 2014 20:24
Worth a visit if on the trek from the station up into the town. A couple of decent ales on (memory is again hazy) and friendly staff. Quite a quaint place so can keep yourself to your self
21 Jul 2014 20:20
A lot bigger than It looks from the outside. Very impressive interior with a lot of rooms including a rooftop terrace. 2 local ales and a doombar when i paid a visit.
31 May 2014 09:20
The Wagon and Horses, Bordesley Green
Decent pint of m&bs was nice. Proper little pub set in the back water of digbeth. Large screen for the football and a juke box
7 May 2014 20:21
Great pub not far from st matthews church. Probably more reminiscent of a country style pub inside, 6 plus ales on the pull. Not the biggest but if you go outside there is a massive patio that is never ending. Be great for a summer drink. If you are in walsall its a must visit!
25 Mar 2014 19:56
To much attention to food. Considering its location its obvious this is what its there for. Maybe worth a quick pint on the way back from ikea (or the way to in many cases!)
2 Mar 2014 21:25
Lovely pub in a nice quiet village. Great food and a top pint of bass was had. Friendly staff and locals. We sat in what would probably be considered the lounge area watching the rugby with our food. Around the other side is a large pool area with a bigger tv.
24 Feb 2014 19:16
Fantastic pub. Several ales including lovely pint of doombar. A large outside bit which you wouldnt expect from the phtoto. Two tv's showing the different matches that were on. Friendly staff and a juke bar. There was a back room but didnt venture in there. Best pub in worcester
16 Feb 2014 21:05
I was really disappointed with this place. A good range of ales but as a pub lacked any atmosphere. Just a room selling ales. Couldn't have the usual tasters due to camra members coming to the pub just for tasters and only buying half a pint.
16 Feb 2014 21:02
Vastly improved since my last visit. Had s make over internally and externally. Lovely pint of ansells on tap was enjoyed.
1 Feb 2014 09:24
The Coopers Tavern, Burton-Upon-Trent
Great old fashioned pub. Only a small place but very vibrant. Can't remember how many ales were on but there was plenty enough choice. Friendly staff & clientèle alike.
29 Dec 2013 20:12
Devonshire Arms, Burton-Upon-Trent
Great pub a 2 minute walk from burton station. 6 ales on when i visited. Friendly staff.
29 Dec 2013 20:10
Elephant and Castle, Thurlaston
Great beer & pie festival on which seemed to be a roaring successful. Friendly and lively pub in a lovely setting.
4 Dec 2013 21:55
Update from previous comment:
Another pub in wednesbury thats had a make over. Refurbished inside & out to good effect. Decent beers on also.
27 Oct 2013 20:58
The Horse and Jockey, Wednesbury
Recently refurbished and very pleasant inside and out. Had the best pint of hobgoblin i've ever tried! Bar staff very welcoming also. Worth a look if in the area.
27 Oct 2013 20:54
The Piccadilly Tavern, Manchester
Great range of beers, Barman also very helpful when deciding on choice. Food well priced. Agree with some of the comments that its got a weatherspoons feel to it but 100 percent worth a visiting if you've just rolled out of piccadilly station
27 Oct 2013 20:49
Very good pub this. Barman full of banter who also knew his ales. Brilliant juke box. Had a good vibe to it
27 Oct 2013 20:44
nice rugby pub set just outside the town centre. fair range of ales on. Pub kept really well with a nice mix of people in. Staff friendly and very knowledgeable on their range of ales. Pubs also has a lot of their own beer festivals on throughout the year
20 Sep 2013 21:55
Cheap as chips and does what it says on the tin.
Basically just a room where you can sit and have a pint. Sky on the telly and alsorts of characters knocking about. Got a sort of social club feel to it.
29 Jul 2013 21:12
Ventured here during the fine spell of weather we've been having as its a place i've never been. Was impressed. Granted its a student bar and its and makes no excuse for the fact BUT its in a lovely location, had several ales on tap, friendly staff, pool and plenty of space.
Defo worth a butchers when the weather is on form
15 Jul 2013 21:20
Quite surprised with the fairly low rating on this one. Decent choice of ales (can never remember the names just drink em!) granted quite pricey though. Nice interior and exterior. Foot brilliant and fairly priced. Owner seemed sound asking we were ok and the staff behind the bar polite. Sky sports on in the bar area.
12 May 2013 18:34
Update to my review posted a couple of years ago. The pub has been taken over by the bitters and twisted chain that runs a couple of other pubs in the town including the jekyll and hyde and the victoria. It keeps with the same philosophy of wacky interior and a great selection of beers (ales and cocktails.) The exterior has been kept the same which is great as its a impressive building but the inside has had a make over which is also very impressive. There's a area out the back to enjoy again with the wacky artwork and a small shed type structure you can go in to relax. If you like the pubs mentioned above i'd definitely recommend this one!
28 Apr 2013 20:21
Great alternative type boozer tucked away down the bottom end of steel house lane. They have a good philosophy of keeping ales on tap while mixing it up with offerings of cocktails and a gin parlour upstairs. Its quite small inside but there is a great section out the back where you can enjoy a drink or have a smoke. To top it off the interior is littered with crazy artwork throughout. Definitely worth a look!
28 Apr 2013 20:08
The Horse & Jockey, West Bromwich
Recently went in there from the st Georges day march. great pub. Really good atmosphere, friendly staff, a nice covered area out the back to sit and a good selection of ales.
28 Apr 2013 19:56
The Railway Inn, Leamington Spa
Great pub! Had a pint of banks bitter which i don't usually drink and went down a treat. Pool table, juke box ect and friendly locals for a good deal of banter.
19 Mar 2013 15:05
Friendly Small locals sort of pub on the edge of town. Enjoyed a nice pint of banks mild
9 Feb 2013 19:57
Old skool pub. This won't be for everyones taste but if you don't mind a proper old skool booze you should give this a go. Always been friendly when i've been in. Pool table ect
9 Feb 2013 19:54
Decent weatherspoons right off the station. Good selection off beers and decent food. Quite large inside. Does what it says on the tin. Defo worth a quick pint if visiting cutty sark or in the area
3 Jan 2013 15:32
Random albion boozer tooked away in Bethnal green. Decent selection of ales. Football on the telly and friendly staff. Only probelm was a bit small.
13 Dec 2012 16:13
Ventured to this pub several times previous and always been very pleased so decided to pop there for our sunday lunch. Has to be said not the best visit as was a bit cramped and busy to propery enjoy your dinner. Nether the less still had a fine selection of ales on including the guest one i can't remember the name of. Its a lovely pub with a great exterior with a country feel to it. Staff always been helpful and friendly. When passing over that way i always make a point of popping in; no pun intented :)
11 Oct 2012 11:20
Decent stop off whilst mooching round soho and surrounding areas. very friendly staff and decent pub grub. Defo worth a visit if you come across this one. Its now been painted red as opposed to the picture above.
10 Sep 2012 21:06
Must have re-opened as was in there on 31.08.12. very basic but worth a quick one by the station
3 Sep 2012 15:00
Nice old skool sort of pub with all the amenities if you're with a group of friends. Pool table, juke box and one or two decent beers on tap. Nice staff also
7 Jul 2012 15:37
Ye Olde Leathern Bottel, Wednesbury
Very oldy worldy pub which is as impressive from the outside as it is inside. It was larger than expected. Food on offer and after looking around there seemed to be various events on in the week. Several ales on but memory a bit hazy of what they were. Chatty barmaid which helped the pub have a nice local feel.
3 Jun 2012 21:04
The Rosehill Tavern, Wednesbury
Only popped in for a quick drink and had decent pint of deuchars IPA. A fair sized pub with friendly staff. Several tv's so if u fancy watching a bit of sport its got the facilities.
3 Jun 2012 20:58
Nice to sit outside at the back on summers day. Decent atmosphere and nice well kept pub.
28 May 2012 10:55
What a great pub this was. Nice selection of ales, juke box and pool table. Most of all was impressed with the friendlyness of the staff and owner. Couldn't do enough for you. Really nice large looking pub from the outside and well kept inside. If passing through like i was i strongly advise you pop in.
10 May 2012 11:13
Popped in on my dinner break from work and was happily surprised at the quality of this pub. Was informed it was a bit studenty but went in with a open mind. A nice large beer garden with a tv at the back. Would be ideal for summer months. Inside is nice and spacious with several pool tables. Seems to also do good food, although I didn't manage to catch the prices. The only downside was there were 3 ales ( EPA but can't remember the other 2) but non were available at this time. I think it was the general atmosphere that impressed me the most as was friendly but vibrant. Defo worth a look if in the area.
28 Apr 2012 00:14
The New Bulls Head, Stratford Upon Avon
Best pub we went in stratford all day. Very helpful waitress behind the bar helped me choose a lovely ale (can't remember the name, taylors maybe). very friendly locals whom we had a good bit of banter with and a few games of pool. Speak as i find as the post below gives the place a bit of a bashing.
29 Mar 2012 21:53
The Windmill, Stratford Upon Avon
Another nice pub in stratford. Very helpful staff with nice ale on tap.
29 Mar 2012 21:49
The Old Thatch Tavern, Stratford Upon Avon
Quite small little place but lots of character. Friendly staff. Went there twice as eat the second time. Food nice and well priced.
29 Mar 2012 21:47
Great selection of ales, and really friendly staff. Very contemporary and well kept. I also stayed over night where the rooms were very much the same and well priced.
14 Jan 2012 15:34
Nice pub with a cosy feel to it. decent selection on ales on tap. Two rooms
1 Nov 2011 16:08
The Black Country Arms, Walsall
Great selection of ales available and staff that know what they're on about. Great interior
1 Nov 2011 16:07
Decent sort of back street boozer. Seems like a new owner has taken it over who seems quite friendly. Two rooms on with a pub table in the back. Not all to much on tap
1 Nov 2011 16:05
Recently visited this pub whilst taking my pal on a trip of pubs in walsall. I must say i was pleasantly suprised. Nice pint of banks smooth, food reasonably priced, friendly staff and nice interior. Good start to the pub venture
1 Nov 2011 16:02
Quite a large pub and was packed when i went in on a Saturday afternoon. Food and skysports available with a few ales on tap.
3 Sep 2011 18:21
Friendly clientele, friendly staff, juke box, sky sports and a little place out the back to sit or smoke that looks over the river. Only downside not a lot of choice of ale.
3 Sep 2011 18:18
The White Horse, Sutton Coldfield
Lovely pub with a nice choice of ales. Food excellently priced and great quality. lovely interior and exterior. friendly staff.
10 Aug 2011 19:03
Quite a old fashioned type of pub with Very friendly bar staff,
1 Aug 2011 10:18
Very nice food decently priced and freindly bar staff. If like me needed a pint to take you away from the stresses of shopping with the mrs on oxford st defo worth a look.
1 Aug 2011 10:14
The Red Lion, Hockley,jewellry quarter
I liked the contrast of this pub. Old style decor but with new and inventive art work very similar to the clifden up the rd. staff very welcoming. we sat in the back patio area that was well covered. The owner kindly put the sound system on out the back for us so we could hear the juke box. t.v's also out there.
1 Jul 2011 22:02
Old school sort of pub. Friendly staff. juke box and pool table in the back room. decent pub if there is a crowd of you
1 Jul 2011 21:42
Nice pub with friendly atmosphere. 2 decent sized rooms at the front and back. decent prices also does food.
20 Jun 2011 13:32
Large pub with decent food. Nothing to spectacular pub decent enough for a quiet drink
20 Jun 2011 13:23
The Gunmakers Arms, Birmingham
Realised this was open when visted the bull recently. Was pleasantly suprised when i went in as its larger than i expected. I liked the lay out as the bar is in the middle of both rooms. Very clean and tidy inside with some modern decor but keeping its very tradiotional british pub feel. The owner (whom i think is czech) was very friendly. As we were leaving we noticed another room with a tv and pool table with a large patio at the back. Love the location as well.
6 Jun 2011 13:53
Nice pub with great food. Sort of lakcs a feel to it as so many diffierent nationalities due to tourists (and the champions league final). Defo recommend going in there though on the way up to the market and camden lock
31 May 2011 13:27
Mill on the Soar, Broughton Astley
Large pub. Defo one for the summer with big area to sit outside. Also does food. nice little location too
2 May 2011 19:19
Quite large pub. sells food which seemed decent. Another large rooms down stairs with tv's and a pool table. nice little place to sit out front as well
2 May 2011 19:15
Nice traditional pub. staff freindly with great food with even better prices. defo reccommend eating there
12 Feb 2011 22:12
What a find this was. Tucked away nicely from the hustle and bustle as soon as you step in you feel like you're walking back in time. Theres old music playing and old memorabilia everywhere. I reckon the landlord may have been an old war veteran. We sat downstairs where theres a big fire and again walls and ceiling covered with war memorabilia. If you get chance sit right at the back next to the big fire as theres a poem on the side of it. It sums the place up really. like stepping into another era. Found the owner friendly enough aswell. Defo my best pub in london so far
12 Feb 2011 22:05
Great traditional pub with a nice relaxed feel to it. Had a sort of country vibe to it with very old interior. Can tell its been around for a while. If you are a "out-of-towner" like i was defo worth popping in.
14 Jan 2011 20:36
good old boozer with alot of character. Quite large inside with a good feel to it
15 Dec 2010 17:33
Another great little pub with all the facilities you expect from a traditional pub. Has got a proper pub feel to the place
2 Oct 2010 13:44
Good little pub set out the way in the middle of industrial units. Got everything you need, food, juke box pool table ect. would definitely recommend

2 Oct 2010 13:42
One of the most expensive palces to get a beer in walsall. Good for any sports obviously but lacks a pub feel
24 Sep 2010 21:34
Situated just off the main rd going into town. Juke box pool table and friendly staff
24 Sep 2010 21:07
A larger pub than it looks from the outside. staff friendly, pool table and back room with juke box
24 Sep 2010 21:06
Back to yamyampublover's profile
The Fountain Inn, Birmingham
Proper old skool boozer like so many in digbeth. No real ales so if this is what you're looking for you may want to give it a wide berth. Think I had a John Smith but there was bank's in the bottle available.
Juke box and pool table. Mixed set of drinkers. Not a big place with 2 rooms but a large screen for the football.
Could have possibly had a better score if the bloke behind the bar didn't moan, and moan and moan about me wanting the juke box on
