The White Hart, Birmingham

Superficially, a nice old pub that would look more at home in a village than being buried deep in Birmingham's eastern suburbs. Anyway, the busy front bar retains some of this character (until the music was cranked up), whereas the quieter rear lounge has a more sterile feel. No real ale unfortunately, and although most of the standard keg beers seemed to be on a £2.50 Tuesday evening offer, I went for the M&B Mild (£3.20) in the end.

Situated on a busy road junction, just down the road from the Sheldon Hall cavery, this pub is smaller inside than you think it would be. Quite high ceiling and large squared windows, dark brown leather seating follows the wall, complimented by usual pub tables and chairs, its a bit basic, but offers something due to its age compared to the more modern estate pubs in the area, but not really enough for you to want to make a special visit. It has a bit of a locals feel, but its ok and service was friendly. Keg Brew 11 and Banks Bitter, its cold but ok. Large car park at the back, accessed off both adjoining roads.
