Stumble Inn, Bridgtownback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Easily the best pub in this part of Cannock - probably the whole of the Cannock area. Friendly service, great selection of ales and a fantastic 70s rock disco on the night I was last in. The beer garden is definitely the largest around these parts and the locals also made me feel extremely welcome on my last visit. Now gets a lot of passing trade from the nearby huge Ramada hotel

Friendly enough place though it does look and feel a bit more like a social club than a pub. Beer was pretty good though - had a few pints of York Monteuka which was an excellent pint and a strong brown ale called Shut Thi Gob. It would probably average a 7 + from your normal ale drinkers.

A pub that has music every Saturday night and jamming sessions on weeknights. It is spacious and clean, with friendly service, though, i hasten to add, i haven't visited on music nights
The pub had the usual taps, though much more choice - 3 draught ciders for example, yet sadly, no MILD was to be found. On the plus side there are 4 real ales, which all tasted fine.
i will drop by more frequently from now on

A very pleasent pub with some good ales and bitters. venue clean and tidy, spacious filling up as evening wore on, toilets clean and looked after, mein host willing to go a bite further when manning a crowded bar to make coffee for the driving friend!!
Taylor Landlord excellent; sports themed guest ale also excellent. A well looked after establishment.
Go again: Yes.

As it happens, i used to be a barman at the stumble inn. the complaints about the pub not consistently supplying mild are ridiculous: it is true the pub does not always have mild on tap, but the drinkers must appreciate the difficulties in finding good mild all the time, especially for a freeholding. so, why go with a poor mild, when a good real ale could be put on instead? why just stick to the same type of beer all the time when you could sample the variety of ales, many of which are very good. i would also encourage the first reviewer of the pub to consider the fact the stumble has been in numerous and consecutive good beer guides. who knows more, camra or you?

On Walsall MILD trail yet again, this pub featured for 2006. Two attempts to get MILD, both a dismal failure. On the 1st May the place was shut so a return on 27th only to be told "NO MILD its all gone". You can have a sticker (for the trail) and a pint of bitter. Well that just rubs salt in the wound to die hard DARK STUFF drinkers like me & Stus.search.4.mild.
I mean would you go into a butchers for a pound of pigs trotters only to be told "got none but you can have a dozen eggs instead".
When will these publicans learn - give the customer what we want not what you want to sell us.
Nil points for this place and a note to CAMRA - take it off future MILD trails.
Definitely a NO MILD WALK OUT!

One of twelve pubs on this years Walsall Wild about MILD Trail. Went there lunch time on bank holiday Monday, the 1st May the start of the "MILD in MAY" season. Shut!!! Went there again today, looks an interesting place the band was setting up customers were lining up, a fair selection of handpulls, one unmarked, must be the MILD. We had Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby and one from Lancaster but there's none left. No MILD on a MILD trail?**?**?!! The pubs an IMPOSTER. No MILD grab your sticker and walkout.

Not a bad pub.A little loud maybe, and the beer could be improved, but by & large a pub unspoiled by the ravages of time.

Excellent well kept beer range and regular live music (Status Quo played there about 2 years ago have made this an oasis in the dross that is Cannock's drinking scene, and there's not even a chance of getting bothered by Stan Collymore :-)
