I think it's better, that said you won't have a bad meal in the Butlers Hollybush at Little Hay is decent too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have what I would class as a 'local' so always in different places! Although that makes me sound like I'm always out, i'm not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Cheers KHV. One of my favourite pubs in Brum for food is right out in the sticks by the lickey Hills called the Oak Tree in Rednal/Cofton Hackett. It's past Longbridge Island so don't know if many VTers have ventured that far but the menu is ridiculous good, part of the Generous George chain. There's one in Stourbridge aswell.

Ha, my local is technically the Anvil (Falcon Lodge/Reddicap) and that weird Italian Nezzo place so I tend to drift from place to place aswell when those are the options! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like Farmer Johns. Always ok for a bite to eat. Marstons isn't it? The desi pub visit for Friday has been cancelled Too many of the crew have pulled out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 FJ is okaaaay I guess, more of a restaurant than a pub now though; yes I believe it is marstons. Dude, you need to choose a different desi pub crew ! That's not the first time they've bailed on you ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marstons boozers are all about food now and some of it is pretty decent. Its been pencilled in for next Friday now. Fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Boy Inn (first picture). Voted best pub in East Shropshire by CAMRA in 2015. Very cosy and comes complete with a great view from the terrace/smoking area. The Kings Head (second picture). Really good food (the sticky toffee pudding is great) but also has a nice olde pub feel to it too. The Stables (third picture). Next door to The Kings Head. Bit more of a "bar" than a pub. Galley style bar on the ground floor, restaurant upstairs. Big outside bar in the yard for the nice weather. Looks great. I am going to Bridgnorth next Friday for the weekend. Be the first time I have ever been and my missus hasn't been there for years. Can you recommend any pubs that will have bands on later in the evening?

I can tell you that The Bear Inn (first pic) does, they normally have live music every Friday and Saturday night. It's a nice little pub, friendly staff. Bit of a "rock" pub I think (Pink Floyd, Stones posters on the wall etc). Your question prompted me to have a look myself; The Bell & Talbot (second pic) seems to pop up a lot for live music although I've not been. I should also mention The Friars Inn (third pic). No music, but it's a nice hidden gem in the courtyard off the high street. Hope that helps and you have a good one mate.

I'm there every couple of months maybe so i know a few of the pubs (although the little 'un has had an impact on that). Yeah you can't go too far wrong with most of the pubs in the town, there are a couple more I haven't mentioned which you may stumble across which are decent. All the pubs I've mentioned are in high town, The Black Boy Inn is on the Cartway which is sort of a link between high and low town. It's a bit of a steep walk from that one to high town so I tend to do that one nearer the start of the crawl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to the Lickey Hills for about 15 years. We went to a pub out that way but it was summer and I was in my 20's. I was also on a shed load of magic mushrooms so I couldn't possibly recall the name of it. The pub was way past the Longbridge car plant on the left just before a roundabout. Well I think there was a pub and a roundabout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to venture out towards Lichfield and Shenstone from time to time. I used to love the food at The Cock at Wishaw but went before Xmas last year and it was crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
