The Cobham Arms, Halesowen

Licensee has changed a lot of times, current one also terrible! Seems friendly to certain regulars, but as I don't use this pub that often, I felt like a total outsider. Manager's attitude was awful, as was that of some other staff. Even though it was pretty dead, service was really slow, seemingly because the staff didn't seem to want to be there, and were very miserable. One in particular poured about 2 pints in the few hours I was there, while another was doing all of the work. Not a friendly place and quite run down. Seems like it's basically a pub for the few locals that have stuck with it and got to know manager, and no-one else is made welcome. Wont go again until licensee and staff have changed!
