The Sandbrook Vaults, Market Drayton

As expected in a Joules House. Few customers. Over sparkled beer leading to a flat bland unpleasant ale experience. Ghastly.

The Kings Head, Market Drayton

Friendly lady behind the bar and a decent pint of HPA. Interesting pub layout. There has been a huge demise in the number of pubs open in and around the town so let us hope the Kings Head keeps going.

The Great Western, Wolverhampton

I made a comment in April 2008 when Jamie took over. He learnt a few lessons quickly and ran a decent pub until 2021. Then Holdens made a few minor refurbishment changes and the new bloke took over. Many of the people I used to know in here on a match day have voted with their feet. The Holdens Bitter is awful. The Bathams guest ale is unrecognisable. The food on a match day is not fit for dogs. The cheapest of all burgers and sausages sold on rolls. No hot pork baps any more. No chips. (They used to be so good in here). He does open the back bar but only sells Golden Glow on there leaving the front bar quite busy for all other real ales. The Great Western is a long long way from ever being an award winning pub again.
