Walsall:
Ooops. This one has been missed as well. Used to visit this years ago, then the crowd seemed a bit old. Well, I’m old now.
It is a hotel bar, but feels like a proper traditional pub. There’s a real fire, and excellent beer. It’s handily placed for a mini-crawl up the market via the Black Country Arms and on to the Victoria. We visited on such a mini-crawl with The Bumpkin and his good lady.
