The Duke of Wellington, Lichfield

I had the good fortune to watch England take the ashes in this pub on Sunday. The atmosphere was great with everyone enjoying the event. The beer was up to standard. What really topped the afternoon off was the landlord gave everyone a free pint to celebrate the victory. Great atmosphere. great quality beer and excellent service. The pub also has a large, secure beer garden and plenty of parking. I shall be returning, slightly more often than every 4 years.

The Kings Head, Lichfield

At first sight this pub offers everything: great atmosphere, live music, authentic history and all set in a historic cathedral city. Everything that is apart from good beer. The other week I had a pint of Pedigree and what a disappointment. It was flat and lifeless. I view Pedi as the benchmark beer in Lichfield so there's no shortage of comparisons. Every other pub sells better Pedi at a lower price. So come on Landlord, it's no excuse to rely on the ambience you need to raise your game on the beer. Can I suggest you get some training in at the George & Dragon.
