The Winding Wheel, Cannock

Substantial semi-modern Marston's estate pub / restaurant in the district centre. Slightly split-level interior and full to the brim for an England match in the Euros, but a few spare benches outdoors on the patio terrace areas on two sides. Wainwright Gold (£4.25) and Pedigree available from two of the three handpumps.

A modern, one roomed open plan pub in new housing estate attached to Heath Hayes. Adjoining the local parade of new shops and the Tesco store. Sky TV, a pool table, and with little character being one open room. Its very much an estate pub, lots of young lads speaking/shouting as loud as they can, winding down from days work, sinking lagers, some families allowing small children to run around without supervision, lots of strutting and preening! Not really somewhere you would go for a cosy night out. The beer is Banks Bitter and a Marstons guest, very cold and not kept well at all. It does actually have spendid views from the pub and outside area over to the Clee Hills, but that opportunity is really lost on what is little more than a local club in a new estate.
