Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Lamp Tavern

Cottage-style locals pub with a L-shaped layout with a little lounge to the left of the entrance and the main seating area extending back on the other side of the compact bar counter. Given a basic semi-modern refurbishment at some stage, but the generally dark colours give a rather gloomy feel. Sports TVs, dartboard and the linked Punka Walla restaurant in a separate building on the right-hand side at the back. No cask ale of course, and even the Worthington's was off, so resorted to a Madri (£3.70) before moving on.

Roadside pub with an Indian attached (Panka Walla). No ales. A long row of tall keg taps with various fizzy drinks. You could hardly see the barmaid behind them! Had a Madri which was the same as it always is!

UPDATE: Sadly no longer a Holden's pub - basic taps (with Ansell's MILD, which is usually OK). Has a repaint - now in two-tone grey. The little restaurant building attached is now its own Indian restaurant.
*****************************
Mar 2011: A small detached Holden's cream rendered cottage-styled pub, with a separate restaurant building (closed) and an enclosed side patio area. Named as such as the land over the road was a colliery last century.

The interior has a single L-shaped room. It is open plan, with a lounge area to the left on entry that has a sofa and a few comfy chairs in as well and a brick fireplace (gas fire) and includes Titanic memorabilia on the walls. The bar area has darts at one end and an area set up for karaoke (which can get loud, but i have only been in once when its on) at the other, where there is also a wall mounted TV. The decor has just been touched-up, so it is white and coffee. There is also a brick fireplace in this part of the pub, but it has a nice real fire, when needed. The whole pub seems to shake every now and then, i think they have some generator in the cellar or something - a bit of a weird feeling. It is a locals pub and seemed a little frosty whe we first started going in here, however, it now seems very friendly and one of, if not the best pub in Bloxwich.

Beer; tap stuff, with Holdens MILD and bitter on handpull - which is consistently fantastic and very cheap (£2) what more can you ask for!

This is a classic, down to earth place, that is a must everytime i visit Bloko. Class.
