The Sunbeam, Wolverhampton

A big modern Hungry Horse handy for the bus station, with a large glazed frontage and with a nice mural round the back based on the local Sunbeam car brand. Adequate so far. As in most HH's, it is separated into the family dining bit and an 'Over 18s' drinking area. The bar counter of the latter was stacked end to end with dirty glasses, which is hardly a favourable sign. The solitary server on the other was trying and failing to cope with demand, eventually providing a mediocre GK IPA (alternative Abbot). Frankly, life is too short.

A new Greene King Hungry Horse outlet developed as a part of the new bus station. It is in a shared building with glass frontage. Open plan inside with a bit of Sunbeam car ephemera, silent TVs, a dartboard and naff else. Service was poor, the clientele mixed although few in. Beer was the usual 3 GK pulls: IPA, Abbot and a warm Spekky Hen. I struggle to think of anything positive to say about this place, other than the leaving of it was a delight.

Bland Hungry Horse place on the bus station. A couple of beers on which were OK. Decent for people watching but not much else. Only a few minutes walk to the train station but so is Spoons! You decide which is the best option?

Modern new build Greene King Hungary Horse outlet at the bottom of a new office building, right next to the bus station. Lots of tall glass windows provide good natural light, there is an over 18s section for those having food before catching the bus home. Poor, slow service and short measures, makes Wetherspoons look efficient & this is an all round poor chain offering.
