The Corn Exchange, Quarry Bank, Brierley Hill

Low, fairly modern, corner building, with a bit of a beer garden (and some frankly dodgy-looking customers) out front. However, once inside, you find a more family-type pub than one might expect. Lots of food offers from a standard Spirit menu. Various seating areas, and two pool tables. Somewhat to my surprise, Old Speckled Hen was available on handpump so I had a quick half (£1.35) before making my way back to the Vine.

oh my god. had a right nightmare at this pub last nite!! had couple of drinks there and left car to explore other local pubs only to come back and find that barriers had been put up in car park so could not drive off!! there was no warning of this and after trying to wake up the owners(or residents) of the flat upstairs failed to do so. there were lights on upstairs and no answer! decided to try beepin on horn a few times and still no answer! phoned local police to b told that they could not assist and so resorted to beepin horn and phoning the pub. still no good and annoyingly the people upstairs decided to turn out their lights!! total ignorance and was miles from home so not impressed, luckily had somewhere to stay for night or wld have cost a fortune to get home! PLEASE BE AWARE AND DO NOT GET CAUGHT OUT LIKE MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loud, brash and uninviting. Ale has been substituted for fizzy lager served from gaudy bar taps. The only thing this place has going for it is that it is at the top of Delph Road, and The Vine (The Bull&Bladder, the Batham's Brewery tap house) is only 50 yards away. Take the walk over.
