Webster's Brewhouse, Wollaston, Stourbridge

Gone for good by the look of it. Now a bakery!

Bit basic and run down, large pub with real ales but not of good quality. Not helped by what appeaqred to be the argumentative son of the owner. Bit average and not a pleasant experience.

I found the staff friendly and welcoming on our visit. There was a choice of seven handpumps on the bar, two of which were from their own micro brewery named Websters. I went for Greeves Brewery Aurelion, which was in good shape, unfortunately one of our pals went for their Websters, which was in poor shape and he left most of the pint on the bar. The gents toilets were shoddy and the hand dryers were out of order. The general décor throughout the pub was tired and tatty around the edges. Obviously our Black Country coach tour organisers had pre warned the pub of our visit, so to put a poor conditioned ale on the bar was a bad move.

Local CAMRA pub of the year 2014, sadly I didn't have a good experience during a recent visit: dirty glass and the server held the glass by the rim during pouring. Only pale ales on tap and the one I tried sadly wasn't at it's best. Previous comments re the decor still hold true and it may be worth a return visit - perhaps when it's not so busy.

Lovely single roomed pub where the long room has a comfy area at the front, and then down the room to a conservatory area at the back. There is also a covered smoking area and patio. The selection of real ales was great, as was the condition of them and the pub is in the 2015 Good Beer Guide. There were 3 Salopian beers, Roosters Leghorn and Stancill Ginger Pale Ale which was very refreshing. Before we left, a new beer was put on from Websters of Wollaston and we found that it was brewed at the pub, starting up very recently. This was GPA 4.5%. Very good too.
