The Romping Cat, Walsall

With a hint of Brewer's Tudor and retaining two bars separated by a narrow off-sales counter in the entrance corridor, this is an interesting heritage pub. The plainly furnished bar has a curved frontage and limited decor, but the etched Banks' glazing remains in the three windows. The larger lounge is more comfortable but just has a serving hatch (as does the rear corridor leading to the games room). Pedigree plus Banks's Original (£2.60) and Amber available on the various handpumps on different parts of the central servery.
