The Park Inn, Redditch

Fairly basic pub, opened out inside to leave a 'U'-shaped layout, with a pool table in one arm and the dartboard in the other. Also has various sports TV screens and (for a Wednesday evening) surprisingly loud music, but as the place was also busy it is obviously serving its market well. Another bonus was finding the single handpump in use, dispensing a reasonable pint of Purity Mad Goose (£3.80).

Sadly the badge on the solitary ale tap was turned around when we called so we had a quick lager. Looked like a decent place to watch the football with plenty of games advertised.

The Park Inn is a stand alone pub that reminded me of the pubs i had done in Manchester years ago. Once inside the bar faces in a single room,there bench seating and small stools opposite the bar and on the right side,there is a pool table to the rear right,there were tall tables and chairs and high backed bench seating to the rear left,a TV to the left was showing cricket,there was a darts board to the left. There was one real ale on the bar,i had a drink of Purity Pure Gold,which went down well. This was a decent pub to have a drink in,just a shame it was almost empty on my Saturday dinner visit.
