Hatherton Arms, Dunstall Hill, Wolverhampton

This place doesn't seem to have changes since Soupy's visit 6 years ago. The TV still had a music channel on - probably the same song too! Still no ale so we had a Coors. I would guess this place gets packed on match days as it is a stone's throw from the ground. Still one for the locals.

This is a detached Victorian Banks's pub (originally a terraced corner pub). It is in a mock-Tudor style with a rounded frontage. The pub is in undressed brick (with a couple of bands of old gold) and moulded stone around the windows. It has a massive chimney stack. The interior has a single room, which is in brown and white with a stone floor. There is a pool table and Wolves pictures on the walls. Perimeter seating is juxtaposed with some sofas and the TV had a music channel on - there is also a pull down screen facility. The service was OK and a few locals popped in (and out). Beer; no real ale and most of the kegs were off - had a Kaltenburg Hell lager, which was OK enough. One for the locals, i think.
