Another good pub from one of my favourite chains - Black Country Ales. The place was packed on a Tuesday afternoon - I think there had been a funeral locally due to the amount of Black ties. Great choice of 10 beers, we settled on Pendulum which was excellent. I tackled one of the biggest cobs I have ever seen, great value at £3. Well worth a visit.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Horse & Jockey
Taken over by Black Country Ales last year and has been completely refurbished into a very comfortable pub, even though the majority of the fixtures are either plastic and compressed wood composite. The pub is a good size with plenty of nooks and crannies to find a seat. There was also a good sized lounge area at the back.
10 handpumps on our visit with three BCA regulars and seven guest. We went for the Strawberry Fields Forever, Small World Brewery Pilot Gig, plus my usual BFG. Lots of customers chomping on over sized cobs, scotch eggs and samosas.

Comprehensively described by BF and Soupy, below, this is an excellent local pub, the sort that every town should have. The regulars were tolerant to the point of acceptance, the landlady greeted us as old friends. The TV in the lounge was showing horse racing, while the the one in the public bar was screening the news. There was a roaring fire going, adding to the convivial atmosphere. The music was a real plus, and included Jethro Tull's tribute to our respected correspondent Aqualung. Ales on draft were Butty Bach, Beowulf's Dragon Smoke and Castle Glass, all in good condition though maybe a bit too chilled. This is a proper town pub, the sort of place you visit to enjoy a relaxing evening with friends.
