The Saxon, Solihull

Relatively modern building in one of Solihull's 'new villages', but rather lower-brow than the nearby Dickens Heath. Tidy enough, but the pub is also much more of a 'local' than one might expect, with loud football on multiple TV screens when I visited. All that said, it does at least do real ale, with Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker and Pure UBU from Purity (£3.00) available from two of the three handpumps.

The Saxon is a traditional Pub with a warm, relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Located in the heart of Cheswick Green Solihull providing a mix of entertainment including regular live music and disco's.
