Toby Carvery Shenstone Wood End, Lichfield

If it were not for the 'purple peril' exterior paintwork, this would be a reasonable-looking country pub / restaurant. Similarly for the over-remodelled and refurbished interior, although this hardly comes as a surprise from this chain. Usual variety of seating / dining areas around the central servery, plus a large beer garden for the better weather. As sods law would have it, they stopped serving food at 19:00 for staff training on the evening I arrived, but thankfully the manager took pity on a weary pilgrim and sold me a pint of Doom Bar (£3.15, and the only beer available from the three handpumps) before they shut completely.
