A small and comfortable BCA pub which had the main L shaped bar and lounge area on the left along with an open fire and a dart board at the rear. There was a quieter smaller lounge on the right, which also had upholstered button back bench seating and the pub was carpeted throughout. Six ales on handpump, four BCA and two guest, I went for the Black Country BFG and Mrs A went for the Salopian Hiding in Plain Sight.

As my last visit, but busier due to time & day (Friday evening).

As noted below, this one has been given an excellent makeover by Black Country Ales. Sadly the L shaped carpeted bar area suffers from the Curse Of Sky Sports which everybody seemed to be ignoring. The small lounge to the right is a welcome refuge from this dross.
There are ten hand pumps which on my Wednesday evening visit had one unused, a kiddies strength Sloe Cider, a Corvedale beer, Wye Valley HPA and the three BCA beers doubled. For a Black Country Ales outlet this was a disappointment but this one is probably too far from the town centre to make it a destination pub being more of a local. I went for the Wye Valley HPA (£3.10) which was in good nick.
I don't know if they do more guest ales at a weekend but simply as a local boozer this one is OK.
