The pub is well dscribed in previous reviews , it is a very food led traditional country pub , the food is exellent as is the beer . Next door to the church , which is handy as i have relatives in the village so a great pub for pre/post wedding/funeral/christening drinks . Worth a visit

This is one of the few Holden's pubs that is a genuine country pub. Trysull is a small South Staffordshire village and this pub is in the centre of it by the church. Remarkably the village is only about five miles away from busy Wolverhampton. It's not easy to get here by public transport, there is some sort of bus but it is a Mickey Mouse service. I walked the mile and a half or so from the bus stop at the North end of Wombourne and got a cab back to Wombourne which itself has a 15 minute bus service to Wolverhampton. The canal brigade have things slightly easier as the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal passes closer by but I don't know if there any parking places. I failed to find the public bar mentioned below so ended up in the lounge. There were five beers on Holden's Black Country Bitter & Golden Glow, Batham's Best, Salopian Shropshire Gold and Hopback Summer Lightning. I'm all for any brewery tied house having guest ales but this is the first time I've seen guests outnumber the tied products. I was hoping to find the Holden's Mild here. Prices varied from £2.60 for the Holden's bitter to £3.00 for the Batham's Best and Summer Lightning. Both the Black Country Bitter and Golden Glow were in excellent nick. I came here with great expectations but left slightly disappointed. The whole place is strongly food orientated and I found the lounge a bit twee, Not having the mild on didn't help either. I would still recommend it as it is a Holden's tied house, a GBG regular and a very pleasant country pub.

A detached Holden's pub, of late Georgian undressed brick consisting of a three storied 'house and lower level extension, with a modern rear undressed brick extension and patio area. A great review below, as ever from the Monster. The interior has three areas. A traditional L-shaped lounge in white and beam walls and ceiling, with a nice fireplace and is at the front of the three story building. It is adorned with train and Victorian prints, jugs, plates and ephemera such as an imposing grandfather clock. a small ante-room lies before what is a modern bistro restaurant area at the back, served from the same central serving bar as the lounge. It is in a grey and cranberry so Mrs Soup said (pass the buck on that one) and has the comfy seats, sofas, twigs and some bistro art that you expect, but is tastefully done and there are some Victorian prints juxtaposed. The menu isnt cheap, but we (and the Soupettes) took advantage of a 2 for £8 menu and have done a few times - the food is fine, as is the service. The music is soft and the clientele varied here. There is also the 'Countyman's Bar', which is housed in the original lower story building, but i have never got in there yet! Beer; taps stuff with a great pint of Holden's MILD and Golden Glow, along with the Bitter and Special. There was also a cracking Bathams Bitter and Three Tuns XXX Bitter. A top rate place and a must to visit. A regular in the GBG. Go! and go now.
