Steve C left this review about The Court House
The Court House is a Black Country Ales pub with a front snug bar that is served by a hatch at the front of the bar counter. This counter continues up the right into the main bar area where standard keg is available alongside Madri. Eleven of the twelve hand pumps I counted were in operation drawing four BCA beers alongside Grainstore Brewery’s Beesting, Wilde Child’s Delaying the Inevitable, Saltaire’s Fury, Mallinsons’ Motueka, Black Hole Brewery’s Tesseract, M&B’s Brew XI and Lilley’s Apples & Pears cider. I went for the Mallinsons and a pork pie, both of which were OK, although the pork pie was lacking jelly. Cobs are also available.
Up the left, opposite the bar counter, are booths and at the rear is a raised seating area with an access ramp. High tables are found around the counter and the televisions were airing muted Sky Sports whilst some low background music played. I didn’t find the advertised function room. The service was very friendly and the ale choice vast so I’m not sure why there was only one other customer when the other pubs in the area were fairly busy during my late Wednesday afternoon visit to the area. I’d have no issue popping in for another pint.

Typical BCA pub with a good selection of beers on. The usual 3 house beers plus Teignmouth Portside, Tea, Sea Fury and Millstone Stout. I went for the Portside which was fine. All in all a decent pub.

A Black Country Ales pub with a plethora of hand pumps on the bar. There were two banks of four with BCA beers doubled, then another eight with five cask beers and three ciders. This is a large corner building - the room I was in seemed to be the only one open in the afternoon, and had booths along the side split up by glazed screens, with a large open space near the bar with high tables and chairs. Loud music was playing - I wonder if it gets busy on weekend evenings. My beer, Flipside Dusty Penny, a 5% porter, was fine (NBSS 3.5) - I wish I could say the same about the toilets. The gents are downstairs, and the stench came up to meet me as I opened the door to descend. Looking on the bright side, it's unlikely I'll ever be doing that again.
