The Ball and Wicket, Heath End

It's been a while since I felt the need to comment. I love the Wicket, it's friendly, good beer, good food - the roast is spectacular, but not as good as my missus - (just in case she reads this.) The Hawthorn still satisfies the taste buds and is very good. Gary and the staff know how a local pub should treat its' customers and this is a great pub. If you don't like the pub stay away, I prefer not to drink with people who feel the need to knock a local landlord who is working hard to keep a local pub in business - there are plenty around the country closing - The Wicket won't close because Hale needs it. Come on get behind Gary.

The Ball and Wicket, Heath End

Having recently moved into the area I was concerned that my local pub wouldn't live up to my high expectation of what my local should be. The Ball and Wicket has more than met up to my needs. 3 fine beers brewed on the premises. The Hawthorn is a fantastic beer (but I don't start on it too early as I won't last the night.) The Bishop and Cobbett are also very good. Gary,Jan and the friendly staff, welcome ALL. Here's to more great nights up the road for me and the missus.
