Revisit: The County

Willenhall.

Original Post here

Top local pub chap and rightful mayor of Walsall Mikee Evans went here a few weeks ago. We wanted to visit a friend in Willenhall and had loose plans for The Robin Hood, too.

This didn’t work out, but we did make The County. Recently refurbed, it’s a lot tidier and pleasant, and as Mikee mentioned, it still has seperate bar and lounge.

No cask ale, but tolerable lager, pleasant vibe, even in the bar. Not a destination pub, but one you’d happily drink in, unlike last time we visited.

Short Heath:

The start of Short Heath phase 1 of 100 pubs. This is Andy’s manor, and there’s sufficient for 2 visits.

I fist walked into the lounge- Andy was dropping the car at a relative’s nearby- and there was a private party, so I nipped round to the bar. The place looks to have been refurbed recently, and was quite smart and pleasant, and the locals were friendly. Sadly the Trooper ran out, but the HPA was good, and it was a nice place to start the evening.
