The Mary Rose, Walsall

An in(famous) sunken Tudor man-o-war in a town about as far away from the coast as you can get seems an odd choice for a pub name, but this is a decent enough place. Now surrounded by suburban housing, it retains more of its original character as a village inn formed from a converted cottage. Seating / dining areas on three sides of the central servery. There is also some dark wood-panelling inside which helps reinforce the initial impression as you approach, and a front beer garden to help complete the picture. Mostly Punjabi menu, and with various handpumps on different parts of the counter I found choice of Vik's (Greene King) Bitter, Landlord and Robinson's Unicorn to go with my meal.
