Covered Wagon, Birmingham

This is a modern estate pub, now a Sizzling pub/eatery, with patio areas. It is a low-level pub, and has a little more aesthetic quality than most places of its generation. It is in white with a covered entrance. The interior has a large L-shaped, open-plan room. It has a small bar area at one end with pool and darts. The rest of the place is given over to dining and is in the usual mixed colured decor; mustard, red, green, brown, white etc. The kid's grabbing machine is there, as well as a few bits of tacky vasey stuff and arty pictures. There is a TV (silent) and the music was general and a decent level. The service was fine and a few mature people were in. The fireplace, with fire, was a welcome feature, otherwise it is a bit soulless. Beer; usual tap stuff with a tasteless Pedigree and Brew XI on handpull. One for the diners, i think.
