For some reason the pub has now has loud music in the background which spoils the ambience a little. Also, as a rather expensive pub im a little miffed that they can"t be bothered to provide soap in the gents. A bit mean I think.

Lovely Bathams beer at a really good price. We had a matching round of drinks for four people which was almost four pounds cheaper than the Princess just down the road. An old fashioned friendly drinkers pub. Nice beer garden.

A nice friendly pub but a round is rather expensive for the location.

The Vine advertises itself as a restaurant with prices to match. If I want pub food I could quite easily have a pleasant meal at the White Harte in the village. At half the cost...

The Cross has recently been refurbished and is a very pleasant pub to visit. Bar snacks available which is complemented by the fine selection of black country real ales. Well worth a visit.

Four of us went to the Vine on the evening of Sat.24th July, 2010. We were seated for nearly 15 minutes before the menus came. The starters came reasonably quick with pleasing comments on the soup. Once finished we had to wait a while before the table was cleared and a good while before the orders were taken for the main course. A pretty long wait before the main courses arrived. My wife asked for new potatoes instead of chips. It came with chips. The fish and chips were bland, the steak was overdone and my haddock was too oily. The chicken was on the warm side.The vegetables were ok. Another long wait before the table was cleared and ten minutes before the sweet menu was presented. I had to catch the eye of the waitress several times who was busy chatting with a female member of the bar staff. A good 20 minutes before the sweets came. We asked for the custard to be separate for the bread and butter pudding. It came on the pudding. The cheesecake was ok. The pint of Enville was one of the worst I have ever had. The Kinver Edge was a vast improvement. We had lots of smiles and attention when it came to paying the bill. I must add that when the waitresses came to the table they were friendly but inbetween they were chatting a lot between themselves. I can"t understand why the food took so long as the place was only half full. The decor is reminisent of a drab 1970"s steak house and needs a proper refurb. All in all a disapointing evening. We shall not return until the "new management team" get it sorted. Basically it was glorified pub food.

The Princess, Wollaston
Its official! The Princess is now the dearest pub in Wollaston. They charge �3.05p for a pint of Enville which is �2.80p in the Gate and Grahams Place. The pub has had no revamp for the last 15years (at least) and many locals have given up the ghost. I did love this pub and posted my comments thinking Dave the landlord would read them and do something about it. I think he is more interested in squeezing what he can from his customers.Unless he reads this comment and decides to lower his profits a bit (which I doubt) then this will be my last comment. Im off to the Unicorn for a pint (�2.45p) followed by an excellent pint of Enville ginger at Grahams Place (�2.80p). Your greed has spoilt your pub Dave.
