Fairly standard Spoons with the usual clientele. 4 guests on alongside the usual trio including a couple from Silhill brewery. I went for Silhill Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as it was new to me. Always a risk having a festive beer in mid January but this was in decent shape! The managers special was Silhill Blonde Star at 99p a pint!

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bellwether (JD Wetherspoon)
Looks from the outside like part of the extended building has always been a pub, but the thoroughly remodelled interior retains no traditional character. Does have a patio beer garden, however. First revisit for nine years, but the cask ale offering has dropped from eight of ten handpumps to four from eight. Furthermore, these just included Oakham JHB in addition to Ruddles, Old Speckled Hen and Abbot. However, my pint of the guest cost just £1.99 compared with the £2.05 my beer cost in 2015, and with the Curry Club deal on a Thursday, the net payment was only 18p!

JDW claim that this place is the site of the Bell Inn which closed in the late 20th Century. It is situated between the end of the Upper High Street and The A461 which is the main road from Walsall to Dudley. Unusually it has a garden which overlooks the above road and provides a charming viewpoint for watching the traffic racing past.
It dates back to Summer 2000 and is fairly standard open plan with the usual mix of furnishings. The bar has 10 hand pumps which on my visit had the two GK beers, Doom Bore, six festival beers and one Available Soon.
I went for the Vale SPA (£1.89 festival price) which was by no means clear but not bad enough to send back. Given it is GBG 2015 listed this was rather disappointing. I hope I was just unlucky.
