The Queens, Walsall

Traditional-looking pub in the centre of Pelsall village, although the partially opened-out interior has been refurbished in a semi-modern style. There are various seating areas around what is effectively now an island bar; plainly furnished apart from a more traditional small lounge in one back corner. Plenty of room for events in the other, much larger area behind the counter. With a good number of regulars in, there was quite a boisterous (but friendly) atmosphere. Just Hobgoblin (£2.80) available from a pair of handpumps, but that was in good enough shape.

Very busy locals pub. We were made to feel very welcome by the gaffer and the locals. I had a pint of Hobgoblin which was fine. All in all a decent pub and good to see it well used. I would pop in again.
