The Highwood, Solihull

Doesn't look like it's changed much since the last review. The rear lounge was quite busy so we sat in the "spartan" front bar. Only real thing to note was a dart board! Still IPA on the handpump but doesn't seem to be in use. I had IPA on keg which was OK.

1960s estate pub, now owned by Greene King, retaining two separate bars. The public bar is a very spartan affair, and although the notional lounge has been simply refurbished in a lighter semi-modern style at some stage, it is still a more inviting proposition. Slightly surprised to find real ale on offer, albeit just IPA (£2.60) from the pair of handpumps on each counter.
