The Lamp Tavern, Dudley

Stay here in Novermber, apologies for the delay in reviewing but thought they deserve it.

Must reiterate what others have said, the beer is very well kept and good value, well worth a visit. Stayed there overnight, this place beats any Travel Lodge s**t as rooms are (although slightly tired) very clean, comfortable and staff were friendly and hospitable. You couldn't knock the breakfast (apart from no black pudding!) and overall exception value.

The Queens Head, Hawkedon

Always have a fine Adnams Bitter and Woodfords Wherry on tap and several guest ales the 'Doom Bar' goes very quickly!

Found it best to book ahead for food as some nights can be unexpectedly busy.

Always find a few characters at the bar and the pub seems to cater well for drinkers and foodies alike.

Happy to take the 14 mile round trip 5-6 times a month to visit this place!
