Black country ales must have employed a new designer as this re furb has been done very well indeed, not their normal style and all the better for it.A good range of real ales in good condition they also have a tv screen with them on but wait for it to page over in case you miss any of the choice,very busy and under staffed on our visit and even after the refurb over 80% of the bar area has bar stools so makes it even harder to get served,with people on them hogging the bar area.these should be removed or just a couple allowed by the food area at weekends.

Despite the make-over, the pub isn’t bad.
Wish they had kept the stain glass windows in, don’t like the plain windows, they look dull.
The bar now numbers left to right, instead of right to left, 16 real ales, & 4 ciders.
Drinks are still lovely, as are the dinners.
Gone is the handwritten beer board in the right hand corner, now there is at least 3 electronic boards dotted around, behind bar, top floor & 1 other I remember seeing somewhere.
The possibly fake plants up the stairwell, look nice.
Haven’t got use too the table layout upstairs yet.
TV’s are now flat on side wall upstairs & by right hand side window downstairs, instead of in top corners where they were before.
Don’t like the sauce sachets, preferred when condiments were in the numbered small metal bucket, sachets are fiddly & take ages to open & you need lots of them. Needs Encona hot pepper sauce in selection too.
Pictures have been moved around, history of the Green Dragon is now upstairs instead of opp: the bar & some new dinky ones added.
Still a great quiz on 3rd Thur of the month with an excellent quiz master.
The best pub in Walsall by a country mile. Brilliant, knowledgeable staff too.

We were staying nearby for 2 nights over the last weekend at a local hotel where food prices were quite high. Had read other reviews and thought we would give it a try and so glad we did, as we went back the following night as well.
Food was wonderful on both nights and reasonably priced, about 8.00 each. Husband had Faggots one night & Liver the second, both were excellent portions. I had Gammon & Scampi again good portions and the chips were lovely crispy outside Fluffy inside, just like a good chip should be!!. Staff were most welcoming. Husband loved the dark beer that it not available in our area.Would visit again if ever in the area

Always have a great time here. The food is great and vast choice of drinks. Staff are always friendly and chatty and always feel welcome. Love the new decor as well - modern but casual and relaxing. A lovely place to catch up with friends or just for a nice quiet drink with the hubby.

Its had a refurb just lately and I was a bit worried it may be spoiled. But no, its the same pub just better, the staff are hard working and helpful, the food is home made and cooked, if they are busy you may have to wait a bit, but they will tell you in advance usually, look out for the pizza on the specials board. the beer is marvellous, they will give tasters and their opinions on beers and which are likely to run out, with 20 hand pulls there is plenty to choose from including at least 2 ciders or perries. Lovely atmosphere, relaxing, sometimes you have to look out of the windows to remind yourself that the asda is over the road.

Plenty of ales to choose from, good hearty food and friendly knowledgable bar staff. A grown ups pub, comfortable and welcoming. It’s always a pleasure to visit.

Pub recently had its 10th birthday celebration as part of the Black Country Ales chain.
With a bonus Remembrance Day quiz to help raise funds for the Poppy Appeal.
The pub also has a very good monthly quiz on the 3rd Thur of the month.
Lovely food served.
The 16 or so real ales are excellent in quality.
Staff are friendly & knowledgeable.
Still the best pub in Walsall by miles.

First visit since the pub was re-furbished. What a delight!. 16 Real Ales to choose from plus 4 ciders. 2 of us had 3 different half pints each and everyone was superb if not exquisite. Friendly and helpful bar staff plus an interesting menu. My friend had the Faggots and thoroughly enjoyed them but having espied the "Grey Peas and Bacon", I just knew I had to try this local speciality that I'd never heard of in my life before; what is more I thoroughly enjoyed it and followed it up with one of their Cheese and Onion Cobs in lieu of a dessert. My meal was perfectly rounded off with a glass of the Titanic Plum Porter, that I'd never seen or tried before but will drink more of next time I see it .
What a wonderful lunch.

Beers good and meals generous and tasty! Beers are always changing, but also resident beers on to please most tastes! We go in there for just a drink or meals as well quite a few times.
