Hoppy's mini Cannock pub crawl.

[hopwas]

Hope you enjoy the Duke Inn Hoppy, I was there just over a year ago and it was a real good down to earth pub. Another good pub in Sutton Coldfield that I remember is The Station which, funnily enough, is by the station.

Have a good day

Thanks Millay, I shall enjoy Dukes Inn tomorrow night as long I am not very drunk!

The Station by.. well, station naturally, is rather poor and soulless. I guess I only ever visited there in lunchtime and I bet it will be packed in night-time.

I know what you mean, I went there on my own around lunchtime and it was very quiet. But when returning in the evening with a load of mates it was full and had a great atmosphere. It was a bit concerning when half a dozen police turned up with sniffer dogs but after a quick tour of the property the dogs seemed more interested in begging for crisps of the punters than looking for anything dodgy.

Hi,

Just a thought, if you are doing Cannock and on the train as it looks like you maybe - possibly swap Stones for the Mill Farm , which is opposite the railway station. Ok, its a toby inn, but it is yet to be reviewed. And Stones isn't exactly special.

I have a soft spot for the Linford, a lovely pub, try sitting upstairs by the window if its quiet, or the study.

Again if on the train, a stop off in Bloxwich may also be an idea?

And Cannock town centre isn't half bad as a place. Ok nothing spectacular, but it is nice.

Enjoy

Hi Danny!

Thanks for pointing out Mill Farm, I'll swap it for Stones (although it is bit out of way, I'll do it for you)

I rarely use train around West Midlands and all done on buses. Bloxwich doesnt have any JDW so I chose Walsall for 2 simple reasons.. 1) They have JDW which I need to tick off 2) Bus direct to Sutton Coldfield.

Many thanks again.

P.S I wonder where do you live

[hopwas]

Right.. Time for me to clock off.. I wont be back till Wednesday at earliest (I got another pub crawl tomorrow in Black Country then another football match, this time my home team)

Have great 2 days whoever you are!

I had great time in The Duke last night and 4 real ales on bar.
