Globe Inn, Tamworth

A fine building from the outside,the liberal use of mirrors and chrome internally lessen the appeal,despite a traditional fireplace with glazed tiles.Nothing wrong with my pint of Bass either,but I was a little underwhelmed on my visit.

The Victorian exterior is impressive but the interior perhaps less so. It's a large open plan area which put me in mind of a Toby Inn. A couple of televisions were showing the racing channel and there seems to be an interest in the sport of Kings with various pictures showing races and the odd day out advertised. There are rooms here and I'd guess that they'll do functions as well. Ales were Worthington Cask, Holdens Mild, GK Alepril Fool and a very acceptable pint of Bass. Ok for a quick pint or two but I'd probably head over the road to The Sir Robert Peel for a longer stay.

Fantastic terracotta Victorian exterior. Large open plan interior that was decorated well - wallpaper and not trendy plain walls! It was clean and i found the service fine. The Beer was the usual stuff, with three handpulls; Pedigree, Bass and a guest that was handwritten - In Dark 3.8%, i think. Thankfully i took a sojourn to the bogs at the right time, as i passed a Holden's MILD pull! Excellent, as ever. The MILD would mean i would always pop into this pub, as they said it was a regular beer. However, it was the pub of the day due to the fact we could get in, breathe, get a seat and hear each other.

Superb pub. Before 1990's this pub was left for dead. Then Landlord took over Globe and transformed into grade listed pub (Also they do have Bed and Breakfast rooms) One real ale always served. They do have function room for private parties/meetings. Can be packed on luchtimes because of proximty to college just up the hill
