The Cricketers Arms, Trinity Way, West Bromwich

This is a detached Victorian pub with patio area, left isolated as a product of its time in a landscape that has massively changed. The pub is in cream render, with black paintwork on the pediments over the old entrances, that give some decorative feature. It is an elongated cottage styled pub, possibly incorporating building next door (shown by the bowing in the shape of the building, perhaps) - there is now a low-level extension to the side. The interior has a couple of rooms. The extension is for the dining room, which is quite narrow, and decorated with a few Baggies floags. The food prices are very reasonable and they do 16, 32 and 50oz rump steaks - i must go back and try one (16oz of course!). The main room is an L-shape, more or less. It is in coffee and cream, with a white ceiling and some blue to go with the odd Baggies picture. The seats have been re-covered in brown and look tidy, as do the bogs now (see review below)! There is a dart board and a TV was showing motor racing. The service was friendly and it was populated by friendly locals. The music was 60s based. Beer; usual tap stuff, with a decent enough Banks's MILD. One handpull, with Marston's EPA on. A nice little place, tidy, with a real ale, keg MILD and a great menu - i will return to try the steaks! Worth a visit.
