I had given up my attempt to walk across Cannock Chase in a downpour, so on my way back to Birmingham on the train, thought I'd have a look round Walsall, as you do. I circled all round the town and back to what I'd thought looked the most promising pub. I like this brewery chain, anyway, and the front looked elegant, unlike much of Walsall, which exudes neglect.
The pub was even more terrific inside. It comprises a grand complex of rooms on various levels, all beautifully carpeted and furnitured in a plush, traditional style. The main bar is gorgeous, all artistically furbished in art deco style, and with a food hatch which looked like something from the 1920s.
The barmaid was friendly and fun, and she turned out to be the landlady's daughter. They bantered forth with each other between the main bar and the food hatch, and with the clutch of regulars sitting opposite the bar counter in what one of them called the drinkers' tables.
By chance I was in the midst of that lot, and so I found myself chatting merrily with the various characters who drifted in and out. I think I had 5 different pints from the vast range on offer, including BFG, Pig on the Wall, and Heel Stone. All were well priced and kept, and induced no after effects except happiness.
Walsall may have its critics, but both this pub and its lovely characters were pure class.

Food is cheap but good, pub is basic but nice. I went for a cheap lunch and I was happy. We had a chicken curry of the day and a spicy chicken burger.
Wheelchair accessibility: Steps to the front door and more steps on the inside.

This is the best place in Walsall to go to for food and drinks. We ordered the fish and chips. It was a bit pricey. The portions were good. The food was hot and delicious. I highly recommend this location.

The fact that I like this and most other BCA pubs will give away my age. That and I also have a dog. The decor, food and emphasis on real ale in all their pubs is more or less on the same theme. My view is that if it's not broken, then there's no need to fix it. What sets this one apart from some of the others is the exceptional friendliness of the staff and indeed the customers.
My new local when in or around Walsall.

Lets start with the good parts. Ambience was good. Staff were friendly. Had a ploughmans and it was lovely. Huge pork pie. Slab of cheese. Ham, coleslaw, baguette, pickles. Gorgeous
Now the bad parts. There were no bad parts.
Unfortunately I was driving so couldn't sample any of the 20 handpulled ales. Gives me a reason to return.
As an out of towner, I think Walsall has a lot of bad pubs. This isn't one of them. It is a real gem.
