The Britannia, Dudley

An end terraced pub, rendered and painted in 'yellow' Bathams style, looking like something from 1900, with some nice etched windows. It has a nice rear patio and watch out for the sticky front door! The interior has two rooms at least. The front room has a small abr and is in white with a nice fireplace. The back room has an open bar (see photo) and is in wood panel. There are all kinds of pictures and memorabilia, such as farm implements and clocks, dotted about. The service was fine, the clientele more the maturer type, and proper Black Country folk. It was silent and calming Beer; some tap stuff, with the excellent Bathams MILD and bitter (so good it should be called Bathams MILD 2). Pubs like this are sheer class and i preferred this to the Vine (though the words pick and nit come to mind). In fact, we could have stopped our crawl right here, but there were so many other good places to go, but we did have a few as compensation. I simply have to come back

All that you would expect from a Batham's house - good beer and basic wholesome grub. Has one very interesting feature - the rear lounge has the beer pumps against the wall not on a bar, infact the room does not have a bar.

Traditional Black Country pub serving Bathams Bitter and Mild.Cobs and Pork pies available (very tasty). Smart, cosy Gentlemans Lounge with leather seating (worth visiting to see and use) and a traditional bar area. No car park but ample parking nearby.
