Wolverhampton pubs

Hi PSM

It isn't too bad to walk to if you know where you are going, or prepared to walk through Caldmore - generally, if you are in the town centre, popping on the choo choo for a stop is a better bet.

Pub wise, you have picked the best - in fact, you may not get out of the BCA! The Victoria is a bit more spit n sawdust compared to the Lyndon and if you are going the White Lion, the Sheaf is at least on the way.

The George V, near the ground (well the old ground!) does do real ale, but the gaffer from there went to the BCA.

Thanks Soup. Glad to hear that I've picked a decent selection. I'm looking forward to a good day out.
I'm in two minds as to whether to start in town, finish at the White Lion and walk to the ground from there, or instead start at the White Lion, finish in town and then take the train to the ground. I think it may depend on how fit I'm feeling that day!

Forgot to mention, the Fountain is also worth a look if you get time

In the end I managed

• Chindit
• Combermere
• Great Western
• Hogshead
• Posada
• Stile
• Royal Oak

Tap and Spile was 'unrecommended' to me by two seperate publicans, who shall remain nameless!

The Giffard had no ale, which was a shame but meant I got more time at the Great Western

I also made copious notes, so reviews should follow fairly shortly!

It's fair to say that the Hogshead was a disappointment - they may have 8 beers and a CAMRA discount but they had no idea how to keep it!

May be wrong, but I think the Stile is one I walked round to in pouring rain that was near the football ground, and when I asked what real ale he had on I was told he only has it on when the team play at home!!

It's dead near Molineaux - had three ales on yesterday and Wolves were playing (but away) Two Banks and a Wychwood January Sale.

Hey Quinno

You were spotted in the Combermere by my main drinking buddy - he said 'there was some chap in there with a rucksack who was making loads of notes, a bit like you do'

[gillhalfpint]

Does Combermere still have a mantlepiece full of trinkets from around the world?

Oh dear!

Not that I noticed, but I spent most of the time there chatting to the barmaid

Yes, that is what my mate said -
