Bird in Hand, Portobello, Willenhall

Ok, as a part of completing Willenhall, i can say this place has gone for good - it is now a temple.

Marked as closed

A brick built detached cottage styled pub, with central entrace and a large patio and rear extension. The interior has two rooms that open either side of the tiled entrance. The lounge and bar are both in a mushroom colour with white ceiling and wood panel, there isn't much in the way of pictures, though the grandfather clock pointed out by Roger is still there and proudly standing at a jaunty angle, like pretty much everything else. There are a couple of nice iron fireplaces as well as a larger brick one in the bar, as well as some iron ephemera dotted about. The whole place is of course, fun and different. The service was good and the clientele mixed due to the quirkyness of the place and the fact they serve food. Music was at a decent level, unlike the floors! Beer, tap stuff with a decent pint of Banks's MILD on handpull, along with the bitter - however, make sure you check out the beer in the lounge, as only two taps can be seen in the bar - there is a cider and a couple of guests on - Hobgoblin being one. A quality and fun place, worth the walk, though it would be better in the summer rather than a rain soaked winter! I will be back.

Closed and boarded up. Looks in poor state. [Admin edit: Marked as closed 23/2/10]
