The Duke Inn, Sutton Coldfield

A good sized pub this one and hosts the largest beer garden in the town centre. Three ales on out of five pumps, HPA, Abbott and Rev James. I went for the HPA, which was in great shape, along with a cob, which you'll find at the end of the bar. A well kept pub, defo worth a visit.

Nice little back street boozer just off the main road. Wye Valley HPA, Rev James, 61 Deep and Abbotts on offer when I called in. The HPA was fine. Worth a visit.

Proper, old-fashioned (in a good way) side-street pub with a plainly decorated 'L'-shaped bar at the front and some old etched glass in the door indicating the Smoke Room at the back (which is more comfortable, and has a traditional corridor serving hatch). Four of five handpumps in use when I visited, offering Marston's 61 Deep, HPA (£3.50), Rev James and Abbot.

This bar is in a side street just off Birmingham Road and is a friendly pub that is in the 2018 Good Beer Guide. There are 2 rooms, the bar area to the right, and a lounge area with serving hatch to the bar. The lounge leads out to a fantastic large grassy garden with lots of wooden tables with bench seats. Children are allowed in the garden area. There were 5 beers on, 4 standard regular beers from Brains, Young, Greene King and Caledonian. The guest was from Burton Bridge, Stairway to Heaven which was fine. A fiendly community local.
