Blue Scrumpy left this review about Half Penny Farm

Large family eating establishment not far from the M5. This is one of those reasonably cheap places that like to pack as many people in as possible. There is a carvery to the left-hand side of the entrance, which appears to be the main attraction.

Queues for the bar build up, as you have to order and pay for both your food and your drinks there. Apparently there is normally an app on which you can order, but there was a problem with this on our Saturday evening visit.

Food was lower than average quality and the cask ale range has diminished to just Greene King IPA since the last review. Ok for cheap food, but I don't think you would ever want to use this as a pub.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Half Penny Farm

A seemingly huge Farmhouse Inns outlet, next to a Holiday Inn Express hotel but most other customers must drive here from Oldbury or Warley? Anyway, the various, slightly split-level, seating / dining areas around the central bar and carvery feature the expected anonymous semi-modern furniture and decor, although there are quite a few tables in the front beer garden. Entirely food-led of course, but at least three real ales are offered: Doom Bar, Greene King IPA and the seasonal Un-beer-lievable (£3.00).

A massive detached 21st century 2 for £10 family pub, eatery and entertainment centre. The place is in undressed brick and has a slight mock castle look, with a corner turret. It has a Whacky Warehouse, kids play area, beer garden and patio, where there are outside TV screens. If you go in the day, you have to pay parking (reclaimed in the pub) as it is next to a Premier Inn and new office block.

The interior is open plan with a couple of raised areas. The decor is the familiar mixed coloured walls, with grey, toffee and the occasional patterned wallpaper featuring and there is an undressed brick fireplace. The place is foody, so is set-up with dining tables, but there is a pool table, as well as a kid's grabbing machine available to play on and a few sofas as well. I didn't eat, so i can't comment on the food. There are some old photos on the walls and some prints, as well as a penguin style Blues top. There are TVs around and the music was general and at a decent level. The service was really friendly, the clientele mainly dining families, but it was early evening

Beer; tap stuff including a keg Spekky Hen - but no MILD and no real ale - i had a coke which cost £1.74!

No reason to go here really unless you are a family seeking some snap and have no care about beer!
