Ian Mapp left this review about Sacks of Potatoes
Keen to see if this student haunt of my youth still exists.
Traditional looking pub, painted black externally on ground floor with a cream upper story. Some outside picnic benches.
Inside, typical pub high tables, each with large menu of pub grub. Central U Shaped Bar.
Stained glass/leaded windows were perhaps the most memorable aspect, with the sunlight pouring through.
Two cask on - HPA and Doom Bar. Half an HPA in decent enough condition.
I was the only punter at first on a bank holiday lunch time.
Where are the students :-)

A pleasant pub in the University. Unlike the nearby Costa Green this doesn't have the feel of a student bar. U-shaped inside its has 9 handpulls (I think) of which 3 were used for real cider. A traditional looking pub. I liked it.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Sacks of Potatoes
Right by Aston University, but a proper pub rather than just a student bar. Partly opened-out, with various different seating areas on slightly different levels in an overall 'L' shape. Anonymous furniture and decor, but it also has some tables out front and a small rear terrace. Various food offers and weekly programme of events. Six real ales - including two each from Wye Valley and Holden's (Dark Mild and Golden Glow, £3.10 less 10% Camra discount) plus Shropshire Gold and Oakham Citra - and three Lilley's ciders on handpump.
