Boat Inn, Sutton Coldfield

Decent looking pub well described below. Only one run down table canalside but plenty seating out front. I fared better with the ale than JAQPTIO with a decent HPA on offer. Glad to have called in.

Canal-side pub that doesn't somehow make as much of its location as it might, despite having a narrow waterfront terrace (although this is also north-facing which I guess doesn't help). Anyway, it also retains two completely rooms, a busy but plain public bar with the pool table and a bigger, quieter, more traditional lounge. Unfortunately, I arrived too early in the week to catch the intermittent real ale (looking to be Lancaster Bomber at the weekend), so made do with a quick Greene King East Coast IPA (£3.60).
