The Royal Oak, Walsall

Nice little white rendered terrace pub, with central entrance. The interior is open plan, but has two areas, a bar and a dining room up a small flight of stairs. The decor is the wood beam and white look, though more orange in the dining area, with lots of brass ornaments, plates, mirrors and old pictures, giving it a bit of a 70s look, but very traditional. The actual bar is a nice, small wood one in the corner between the two rooms The pub is a locals pub, its very friendly, with the more maturer clientele and it was pretty busy for a Wed night. The music was subdued and 80s. Beer; usual kind of stuff, with Highgate MILD on keg and three handpulls, St Austell Tribute, with was class, as well as BackYard Brewery Royal Oak and Black Sheep bitter. I really liked this place. A village pub and perhaps more the maturer ones, with the young un's more likely at the Swan. It is the better of the two in my opinion and i will go back
