As stated below, a typical estate pub which is on the number 3 bus route. Only Banks's Amber available when we called in. Quite a few locals in so the place looks well used. Decent outdoor seating area.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Harrowby Arms

Marston's estate pub dating from the 1960s(?), with two modernised bars - the rear one looking like it might once have been more of a dining area at some stage - plus a more traditional side lounge. A pool table occupies one end of the front room and a dartboard can be found at the other extremity. Fairly plain semi-modern furniture and decor (apart from one arched booth), but has a good-sized front beer garden. Just one of the three handpumps was clipped, but the Old Empire IPA expired during the pour which was a shame (especially since it would have cost just £2.95), so went for the Pedigree (£2.60) from among the reasonable selection of bottled offerings in the fridge.

A large detached Marston's food pub with a beer garden area. It is an estate pub for the 50/60s estate, but at least has a little more character. The pub is in cream, with some red on the large barn like front facing gable. There are large bay windows, one gabled, either side of the entrance. The interior is one large open plan room with a central bar. To the left and rear there are more dining areas and to the right, a bar area with a pool table, dart board and TV. The decor is cream and green with some patterned wallpaper and a number of old photographs are on the walls. It does the usual kind of Marston's menu, but i didn't eat so can't comment on that. The service was OK and it was nice to see so many using the place just to have a drink rather than eating - clearly a community pub. Beer; usual keg stuff with Banks's MILD. On handpull there was Banks's Bitter and an ok Hobgoblin. A nice enough place, but a little light on the beer front.

This 50’s style community local is owned by Banks’s (Marston’s). It has two very large bay windows either side of the entrance and the interior is open plan which helps keep the pub bright. On entering the main door you will find a single large room with a U shaped bar counter protruding from the right hand side, next to the bar on the right is a public bar area with leather fitted seats, pool table, dart board and ceiling mounted pull down projector screen for sporting events. On the left of the entrance is more of a lounge area with several tables and fabric chairs, this area also has a large pull down projector screen against the back wall. Finally at the back of the room is an area specifically set out for dining with tables that were reserved for later, I believe there is a carvery on Sundays. On the walls were some interesting old photos and information about a film that was made in the 50’s at the long since demolished Pendeford airport near by, the film was called “Man in the Sky” and stared Jack Hawkins. There is a grass area at the front of the pub with a big oak tree in the middle and several picnic tables dotted around.

Regular ale is Banks’s Mild with an occasional guest appearance by Marston’s Old Empire. Just the Mild available on my visit, which was pretty good.

Not a bad pub with friendly elderly regulars, but the beer selection is too limited for my tastes. Ok for a quick pint if your in the area but not worth seeking out for any special reason.
