Plough & Harrow, Wolverhampton

A lower-level Banks's terraced pub compared to the surrounding buildings. It looks a little neglected in its somewhat tired red and cream render with large sash windows. The interior is an open plan L-shaped room with the bar more or less opposite you as you enter. The decor has cream and fake beam walls, with painted wood panel and with a red and fake beam ceiling. There is a very tired green patterned carpet and seats. There is a small brick former fireplace in one corner. There are old photos on the walls and a hanging jug collection for interest and a pool table too. There were a few TVs each with different silent music channels on (charty types) with louder Abba background music. The service was functional and the clientele quite mixed, from the older chaps playing dominoes in the corner to a few youngies. Beer; no real ale all the usual keg, with Banks's MILD. The MILD was OK. Nothing for the real ale fan and nothing really to go out of your way for.

Real Ale available

This pub has obviously gone seriously downhill since the last review in 2007. It's shabby on the outside and the inside isn't much better. There is no cask ale at this pub any longer, in fact on my visit they didn't even have any keg ale. The only option available was lager, so I left. This area of Wolverhampton is full of bad pubs, this isn't even one of the worst, but it is still crap. It won't be around much longer on this showing anyway and it won't be any kind of loss.
