The Lamp Tavern, Walsall

This is a newer Holden's pub that they took over in 1993. It appears to have had an extension added to the rear and right. Unlike many Holden's pubs it is a single room but segregated into smaller areas, which may be due to the fact that it is not one of their original pubs. My visit was enhanced by the appearance of a boxer dog who came over to say hello, I could only see three beers on offer, Holden's Mild, Bitter and Golden Glow. I went for the Golden Glow which sadly was rather vinegary. I hope this was just a blip and that the new Spoons up the road isn't making them suffer. This isn't one of the best Holden's pubs around but is worth a look.

Cant add much of real value to the previous reviewers comments. Called in around 1pm on a weekday to sample the fine Holden's mild which was spot on,and apart from that needed to seek refuge from the incessant snow.There were 5 cask beers on show (4 functioning)plus an open fire and drinks at economical prices.
