The Hatton Arms, Hatton

Great setting by the canal with a massive garden. Good choice of local ales, including one brewed specially for the pub. Good choice of vegetarian food, freshly cooked. Recommended

The Kings Arms, Solihull

This pub is located a mile and a half south of Knowle where the A4141 crosses the Grand Union canal. BITA's website has it right, but the pubs own site is wrong, which meant we had an unexpectedly long walk to get there! Three beers on handpump including Tiger & Black Sheep. The Guest Ale, Greene King Fireside was superb. Food good too, with a good range of vegetarian choices.

The Red Lion, Knowle

Only half the 6 handpumps in use & not an inspired choice of ales. Eventually chose Old Hookey & was served 2 pints of Abbott! Beer fans would be best advised moving swiftly on top The Vaults (see Nick Worrall)
