The Mary Rose, Walsall

Having not been to this pub for a while, I decided to visit with nine friends for my birthday in December 2008, and found out that the previous manager of many years had retired and Punch Taverns had put it up for lease, not normally good news, but when we arrived we were all very pleasantly surprised, it had had a very tasteful and subtle makeover in keeping with the character of the pub, and when we sampled the food, we didn't find the normal 'pub grub' that it used to offer but fresh ingredients throughout with prices that were very acceptable. I will be definately sampling it more in the near future. Congratulations to the current landlord for getting it right.
