The White Horse, Walsall

Housing estate pub, with the lounge bar featuring an unusual, almost circular, layout with an expansive bow-windowed frontage. The busier rectangular side bar houses the pool table, dartboard, table football, etc. Despite some external Marston's signage, the real ales from two of four handpumps were Landlord and a decent Wye Valley Bitter (£2.90).

Just wondered if any of the gentlemen that attend this public house by any chance found themselves on a barge for New Year and ended up in Kinver?

I moved round the corner recently so this is my local now. I have been aware of this pub for many years and it has always had the reputaion of being full of kids! Recently they seem to have made a big effort to smarten the place up! They offer fairly priced pub food and do special evenings most nights. The public bar is however very noisy and un-inviting and full of "sports fans". But the lounge is usually very quiet and better for a quiet pint. It's ok for a local!

Having recently moved too the area I thought I would try this pub I visited on Sunday 16th May and at first the external looked a little uninviting however inside the bar what a transformation! Sky multi sports I was able to watch the rugby and the cricket some cool sporting memrobilia and it was full! A good mix of us oldens and some youngsters I ended up staying too watch the cricket final and the atmosphere was carnival like... nothing like beating the aussies! I was in the middle of cheslyn hay and got a pint of Peroni and fresh musseslls and my driving mate got a proper coffee, we ate in the lounge comfortable great attentive service it was refreshing too see a local pub ctering to everyone a huge beer garden full of kids, great choice of beerand great food and sport. I will find myself becoming a regular keep it up!

over the many years of drinking around the area i have been disappointed over the many years. over the last several years the clientele has changed from middle age single alcoholics to a in-adolescence 15-30 drop in center with much resemblance of a asbo/chav babysitting rehab clinic. on a plus side the pub has tried to tidy itself up over the years by laying new carpet, by doing food and by even re-foaming and clothing the stools and chairs. the beer is average for any off the beat track pub and food adequate for anyone who will have there fill from a pack of pork crunch. even with all the improvements, and the lick of paint that has happened over the years, i can safely say it is not a pub i can openly walk in and ask for a nice cold beer but if you are still in nappies, your type of entertainment is listening to pin drops and like wearing hoodies, bassball caps nodding like a churchill dog its the place for you
