This original Banks's pub is now sadly badged as Marstons. It's an old food orientated pub with a central bar that has various areas around it. There is a TV in an area to the right as you enter but it was turned off. I got here just as it opened at midday so was the only customer. Although it's food orientated the menu looked like the standard Marston one, so is more Wetherspoon than Gastro. There are six hand pumps which had one unused and sadly no Banks's offerings. The five beers were Pedigree, Marstons Courage Best & Directors & Wells Bombardier and Hobgoblin. Why a pub in Staffordshire would want to sell three rubbish beers from the old Wells brewery in Bedford is beyond me. I went for the Pedigree (£2.80) which was actually very good and reasonably priced. I didn't stay here long before retreating to the Kinver Constitutional Club nearby.
