The Bishop Vesey (JD Wetherspoon), Sutton Coldfield

I quite liked this Spoons, the layout was good and the there was plenty of room both inside and out. Two banks of 8 handpumps with the majority doubled up. There were 2 Backyard Brewery beers Hoard and Harmony, along with Adnam's Ghost Ship. The beers were in great condition and prices excellent.

As others have said below, this is an above average ‘Spoons which makes it a good option around these parts. The glazed ceiling over the front part of the bar makes it light and airy, and the furniture and décor are in relatively good order. The church pulpit by the entrance provides a nod to the eponymous bishop, or maybe it’s where Tim preaches to the perverted. Ales on were Exmoor Gold, Salopian Hop Twister, Backyard Hoard, Purity Bunny Hop and Ubu, Burton Bridge CD and Damson Porter. No cider was apparent, though. Very handy for the Travelodge.

A great selection of beers on here for my last visit. In fact too many to note but amongst them were Oakham Blue skies, Eagle Parallax IPA, Greene King Heritage Hop Ale, Vesey Gold plus 6 others. There has now been a roof terrace added which is a nice feature. We enjoyed a drink in the sun (although it was a bit cold!). Well worth a visit.

Enjoyed our visit to this JDW on Saturday with an excellent choice of beers available. We enjoyed Backyard Antipodean and Oakham Blue Skies IPA which were both a bit strong for the start of a pub crawl, but excellent anyway. Loved the layout here and especially the patio garden at the rear with it's mirrors and nick knacks around the walls and in the trees. The free top ups for the latte and other special coffees was a first I have seen which must be welcome.
