Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Three Tuns
A Thwaites pub in the West Midlands. In fact it was the first of 2 Thwaites pubs I went to in the West Midlands on a sunny Thursday. Having also found two Acorn beers in Warwickshire pubs the previous day, I was left wondering if the north was launching a takeover of the Midlands!
As an old coaching inn, you enter through the main archway, from where there are rooms on either side, with the bar also to the right-hand side. Most of the seating is actually to the left of the coach track.
The full range of Thwaites beers can be found here - Original, Amber, Gold & IPA. I chose the IPA, which was surprisingly nice. The barmaid was friendly, but the pub was noticeably quieter than other pubs I tried in Sutton Coldfield, with just 3 or 4 other customers. Although live music is advertised and I could imagine the pub getting quite lively for such events.
This one was more of a typical pub than other places I visited in Sutton this time around, but it was a shame that the ale range was restricted to Thwaites only.

Really decent pub with decent beer. Thwaites Gold, Original and Amber plus Hobgoblin. All we tried were excellent. Well worth a visit.

This 2018 entry in the Good Beer Guide is a 16th century coaching inn that retains a lot of it's character with a covered central yard. There is a room tothe left of the yard and 3 rooms to the right with a variety of styles. There were 4 Thwaites beers on the bar, Original, Amber and Wainwrights, and I enjoyed the Thwaites Crafty Dan 13 Guns.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Three Tuns
A fine-looking old coaching inn; comprehensively remodelled and refurbished inside but still retaining a deal of character. The central entranceway leads to a yard which has been covered over with an impressive timber roof and several small tables at the far end. The bar and a small lounge can be found on the right-hand side and a larger split-level seating / dining area to the left, all with traditional furniture and decor. There is also a more modernised room with a dartboard beyond the bar. As a Thwaites house, I found the Original Bitter (£3.00), Wainwright, Lancaster Bomber and the new MMXVIII IPA.

A Georgian looking terraced hotel/pub in cream render and purple paintwork, with small patio/smoke area. It is owned by Thwaites and, as Mr Harrison says, it is a former coaching inn, as there is a coach entrance that divides the pub part in two.
The interior has four rooms. The first is found on the left, when walking through the coach entrance; the other three are on the right. The room on the left, like all of the rooms, is in a light coffee colour, with wood panel. The only difference in this room is that it has arty photographs in, as well as a TV, with the footy on. In the main area, to the right when walking through the coach path, there are 3 rooms, all with with wood floor. The first is laid out with tables and looks foody (i didn't see a menu), with a small tiled fireplace. The second is the main bar room, where there is another TV - footy on again. This is where the only 3 punters were in, apart from myself. The top room had a pool table, another TV and a nice wood surround, fireplace. The service was fine and there was no music.
Beer; tap stuff with Thwaites Original, Lancaster Bomber and a decent Nutty Black.
This place lacked atmosphere - all the same coffee-ish decor, no pictures and no people. The beer was fine and i would happily pop in for another Thwaites, but having been the Station and The Gate, both of which had people in, this seemed devoid of life

Has reverted back to it's original name of The Three Tuns. An old coaching inn, this pub is a Thwaites house. Can get a bit loud with a mixed crowd - Sutton College is nearby, as are the Police, Fire, Ambulance and Railway stations, and it's a short walk from the shopping centre. I haven't been for a few months, but I always found the ale to be well kept, and the Guinness to be good enough.
