The Vine Inn

Wednesfield:
The second truly excellent time-warp pub in Wednesfield, built in the late 30s and listed. Inside, it’s like stepping back in time, and both food and beer are excellent and reasonably priced. Between this and the Pyle cock, Wednesfield can be unexpectedly pleasurable.

Wednesfield:
How wonderful a pub is this?
It meets several itmes on my ‘desireable‘ list, in that it’s Victorian, it has cobs, it’s not far from a canal and a bus, has 3 public rooms, seems to have a beer garden, no children visible, no TV, and a real fire.
It’s got atmosphere in spades, and excellent beer too. I just wish I lived nearer. Things are very traditional- a bar, a smoke room, and a lounge, and it’s really like a Black Country pub of years ago.
sadly it seems to be about to undergo a change of managment, as it’s to let.
The Goose in the City

Wolverhampton:
The Bass take on Wetherspoons. The Goose chain is just like a ‘spoons inside, with similar atmosphere, clientele, beer, and food. That’s not a disaster: the food is OK (and cheap), the beer pretty good (and cheap), and it’s not an unpleasant place for lunch and a couple of pints. There’s not the atmosphere of a proper pub (like the Posada, just up the street, which was sadly shut at 11:50 when we arrived), but you could do worse.
