Duke of York, Wolverhampton

A lightly modernised but still traditionally-styled town local. The island bar is surrounded by smaller areas, clearly where once were partitions, but there are a couple of nice snug areas remaining to the back of the bar. Small patio garden to the rear. Food is of the pork pie and scotch egg type only. Ales on at time of visit were Salopian Lemon Dream and Marston's 61 Below, with a house beer badged but not available. A fair alternative to the big student pubs.

A pretty decent pub with 8 handpumps, of which 5 were on. Its a multi-area pub with a small area as you enter, a small area to one side then 2 more small areas. I spent my whole time here trying to get rid of the hiccups so it wasn't as enjoyable as I would've liked.
