I'm glad I stumbled upon this gem of a pub hidden behind the Mailbox. Incredible beer selection and great service. Unfortunately I had my wife with me, so could only stay for one pint, but it was a fantastic IPA which was thoroughly enjoyed.
The landlord John and his daughter Libby couldnโt be more hospitable and knowledgeable. Every question I had was greeted with enthusiasm and passion for their work. Amazing ales on tap with a lineup that changes weekly. I Will definitely be back for more!
First visit. Came on the strength of other reviews. What a great traditional ale pub. 12 handpulls, decent punters. I've found my new base in Birmingham (I come to the city a few times a year for work)
