There is a large range of beers and ales on offer and they are all really reasonably priced. The interior could do with a refurbishment, but is very homely and welcoming, along with warm and friendly staff who are very good at their jobs. The service is always good except when the pub is really crowded and service can definitely wane. The garden is really good in the Summer.

Happy hour with beer at £2.00 per pint. Update June 09: The landlord has stopped the happy hour and put the prices up twice. Now expect to pay £2.65+ for ale. Lots of locals now using The Chestnut as beer is from £1.79 and lager from £1.59!

Pub snacks are available also. The Lych is an oasis of calm away from the bustle of the city centre. There are no TVs here, or fruit machines. Just good old fashioned talk. There is an upstairs room, which doubles as a function room and people with mobility issues are catered for, as there is a lift at running between front entrance and up / downstairs areas. A great pub to visit.

Look for the main gate entrance to the church at the side of Barclays Bank and the pub is on left. It's a Black Country Ales pub, but as well as their own cask ales they have 5/6 guests too - all priced under £3.00 and I paid just 50p for a cheese and onion cob! At last a decent pub rather than bar in the town. Well worth a visit. There is a disabled lift and a function room upstairs for hire.

The staff don't expect you to use it, and it isn't monitored. We visit this pub every Wednesday afternoon for our 'little Saturday' pint. The staff are fantastic! So welcoming! My partner and I are not Wolvites originally, and have had comments about our Welsh accents elsewhere, but at the Royal, we were welcomed and made to feel at home straight away. Our initial impression was that perhaps it was a biker pub, judging by the number of bikes in the car-park...and now looking back, even though the pub appeals to aging hippies and weathered mechanics, it is not nearly rough enough to make it a biker pub. They have a dog in the pub, the gorgeous Major...however he will probably only come over to you if you have the pork pie. ;) The beers and largers are cheap, although a shame they no longer stock Stella. And the wines are the best for price too. At the end of the day, being as me and my partner are from the Welsh hills, and find great appeal in quiet pubs with a friendly, yet serene atmosphere, and a great beer garden...The Royal Oaks suits us down to the ground! And they even have gigs when the weather is nice....we're just waiting for the introduction of Jam nights, then we truly will become devoted fans!
