The Bull, Wolverhampton

A traditional village community pub which is a lovely mid 19th century grade II listed building that is owned by Banks’s (Marston’s). The interior is a long L shaped public bar with a small snug at the back of the building. There are entrances at either end of the main room which has a long L shaped wooden bar counter, in the right hand corner are leather bench seats, a dart board and two large flat screen TV’s. At the far end of the long part of the L shaped room (on the left of the building) are dining tables and a nice cast iron fire place with a ceiling mounted pull down projector screen above it. The small snug is entered by an archway at the back of the main room, this has old high backed wooden settles and domino/playing card tables, there are old paintings on the walls scattered throughout the pub. Out the back is a large beer garden with several picnic tables and a kid’s play area. Regular ales are Banks’s Bitter and Mild with two changing guest beers chosen from Marston’s portfolio such as Brakspear, Jennings, Ringwood or Wychwood. On this visit these were Jennings Cumberland Ale and Brakspear Oxford Gold. All ales were tried and found to be good enough. This is a very nice traditional local’s pub with a bit of character, a sufficient selection of four ales and a decent menu with the occasional cheap offer. The Station is my favourite Codsall pub but I try to visit this place every now and then for a change of scenery. It has a good turnout of regulars and always seems to be busy in the evenings, I will return.
