Pleased to report the the Why Not has been acquired by Black Country Ales. Hope to see it back open soon.
I used to use this pub around 20 years ago. It was always well known for it's food and the largest mixed grill was almost impossible to finish! It was also a popular stop off for the Black Country Beer Bus.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Why Not Inn
A real village-style pub, now located in a short stub-end suburban side street on the edge of the West Midlands conurbation. Retains two separate bars on either side of the central servery, although one is fully laid up for those eating, and another dining room can also be found further back. All very traditionally furnished and decorated, with a calm, community feel. Just one of the three handpumps was in use when I visited, pouring a fine pint of Holden's Golden Glow (£3.70), with the guest Enville Ale having been recently available too.
