The menu changes daily based on what they have fresh and what they could shoot that week (seared pigeon is amazing). The staff are all very friendly and its an excellent all round dining experience. Not too pretentious and lacking a lot of the frills that can come with this kind of quality meal but thats why I like it. Definitely book ahead but well worth a visit. The only downside is that its difficult to decide what to order with such a good selection.

For me I think it is important that wherever I live, I have a nice pub nearby or restaurant or…read morebasically somewhere where I can go and have a nice drink or some nice food and somewhere you can socialise with people that is nice. When I lived at home, one of these places was the old house at home which was a pub in Pelsall and it was lovely and I still go there sometimes now. The address is as follows: Old House At Home Norton Road Pelsall Walsall West Midlands WS3 4NT Ok so location first. The old house at home is located in a small village called Pelsall. It is a delightful little village and this pub is one of all of the local's favourites and is located right in the centre of the village. You can get to it by car and there is a car park there which I always manage to find a space and it is free. You can also get there from most local buses that go through Pelsall and the bus stop is literally a 30 second walk away from there. In Pelsall it is by the fingerpost. The old house at home from the outside reminds me of a cottage. It is a nice looking building which has beams and a sweet roof and a nice entrance with a nice heated outside area with a few wooden tables. When you go past you cant help but think that it looks very cosy there and to me I think it looks completely inviting as the lights are always on and there is a massive window so you can see people sitting there enjoying themselves from the outside. As you park and walk in to the pub you will notice that the doors are lovely. Then in front of you there is the bar and the bar is massive. They are very well stocked and have always made any drink I wanted which is always good. They will also give you advice on what to drink and give you prices of you ask and the staff seem to always be in quite a good mood which is nice. Drinks are about the same price as any bar so no surprises there. To the left of the bar you will see a seating area which is usually used for those people purely coming in for a drink. There are loads of tables and seats and the pub goes around further than you expect it to. You can of course eat in this area but you will probably prefer to go to the right of you which is where there are nice tables and most people go and eat here. Now this is where that big window is so it is nice eating there. The toilets are on this side to and they are very nice and clean at all times. Ok so the food is very nice. There is a good menu which gives you a good choice of your normal pub foods really such as scampi and lasagne and curry. The food is reasonable price at main meals being around £5 - 8. Starters include soup and others at around £3. Then puddings include gorgeous ice-cream and chocolate cake which are about £3.50 so prices are not that bad at all. The food is yummy and on different nights they do have offers such as on a Wednesday I think it is they do curry night so you can get a meal and a drink for a fiver and they do things like that. In the pub you will notice that there is always a bustling and fun atmosphere and the decoration reflects this. It is all quite traditional with wooden everything which fits the cottage theme. Once a week on a Thursday they do a quiz night and you have to get there early to even get a table as it gets very busy indeed. The quiz is good fun and I have done it quite a few times. The pub is always bustling and when you go there you will see why people do like it. It is a fun pub and one that you go and feel comfortable in. they have people there who work as security in a way and they will get rid of any troublemakers which is what I like as troublemakers ruin everything. All in all I think that his pub is worth going to and I always return there. It is a nice friendly place and I am glad it was my local for a long time. Thanks for reading. xxx P.S.

I was looking for a place to eat nearby Hollybush Garden Centre and we find this pub…read more It`s in the middle of nowhere and I was pretty happy with the choice because their portions are huge. Man, you have to be VERY hungry to eat in this place. Seriously. And of course, it's a good value for the money. I got a nice rump steak for about £6-something )I don`t remember the price because it was a treating and I didn`t pay for anything. Nice!) and the chip portion was generous. Food tastes really nice there. It`s definitely homemade and the service is really nice. Actually, fair play to the girl who was serving us. She seems to be barmaid, manager and anything else in that place. She keeps the pub running well. I would say. Multi task people: my favourite ones! This pub has also a different meal for the day in a cost of over 6 pounds. Really nice options. And the cakes seemed to be pretty fresh! I wish i had more room for some pudding. If you can find the place, it really is a nice thing to stop by. It`s in the junction 11 of M6, by the way. There is a huge playground and kids won't be bored.

I visited this pub on St. Patricks Day for dinner, where they were having a Irish themed pub quiz later that evening and were playing Irish music in the background whilst we ate. There are comfortable sofa's that you sink right into, and booth areas for a more cosy feel. The menu is varied and they have a number deals throughtout the week such as a Grill night with a meal and drink from £5.99. I ordered the ribeye steak (meduim, rare) so was disappointed when it arrived well done but netherless it was tasty. The potato wedges were very tasty as were the onion rings and not greasy like onion rings can tend to be. There is ample parking on site, and an outdoor seating area which is welcomed in the Summer months. Pay this pub a visit you will not be disappointed.

They have changed the menu to the summer menu. Some old favourites on there but I noticed Teriyaki chicken with noodles is new and they have taken our favourite dessert creme brûlée off the menu. :-( I decided to have something off their set menu which is £8.99 for two courses and £10.99 for three. We went got three. Starter - breaded mushrooms - they were good as usual and very hot. Main - Chicken & mushroom with creamy mash and veg - our mains took a while to come but when it came it was tasty and hot. The puff pastry top was very very flaky but a little over done just under burnt. I was hungry so didn't want to complain. Dessert - mini white chocolate pot with tea/coffee - a little sweet and sickly but levelled out with the cream. Overall the food was good and the service. May wait until the menu changes before returning. Not bad for the price.

Also a huge mixed grill, a massive stack burger called "the Beast" and plenty more other stuff to choose from, and home made chips too! The restaurant part of the pub is not too big so on Friday and Saturday it's booking or you will be disappointed but during the week it's quiet and you can just drop in. Prices are reasonable and servings are a nice size, drinks prices are also quite reasonable. I've eaten here a few times now and it's become my new first choice for meals out!

Camra love the place the pub was granted Grade II listing in 1996 for its interior. It is also included in CAMRA's National UK Inventory, an important register of unspoilt pubs which retain their original layout and fittings. This virtually unaltered three-roomed pub is part of a row of terraced houses opposite Bloxwich Park. There are no gaming machines or bandits and only occasional background music providing a rare example of the authentic character of pubs of yesteryear. It has been owned by the same family for 130 years, thus resisting the vandalism of so-called 'pub designers'. Unique features include wooden slatted benches in the public bar, with a large diameter heating pipe running beneath, and unusual armrests on the benches in the smoke room. You must visit this place - it serves great real ale too.
