| Charterhouse | A friendly one bar two sided pub, off the beaten
track, attached to a rather good indian restaurant. The
restaurant has a separate entrance but they will let you
sneak through behind the bar when it's raining.
Last visited April 2000. |
Terry Road / Orwell Road | City Arms | A typical Beefeater restaurant, with Boddington's
beer.
Last visited 1996. |
Earlsdon Avenue South, Earlsdon |
| Craven Arms | A pub with a rather good Chinese restaurant attached.
Banquet B recommended.

Woodway Lane |
| Litten Tree | A fairly new large open bar/restaurant with nice decor, busy on a Saturday afternoon. The food is good but the real ale is not. Unusually, there's waitress service, and you don't pay for your meal until you've eaten it.

| Mount Pleasant | I wandered out of my plastic hotel, passed
MacDonalds, Blockbuster, ASDA and KwikSave, and what a
pleasant surprise - Decent beer in a rather nice large
pub with only one small bar counter and a number of
separate eating and drinking areas. My only complaint was
that the Greene King Abbot was served through a totally
inappropriate sparkler.

| Bottle and Glass | Part of the Black Country Living Museum, the pub building was relocated from Stourbridge. The wooden seats and panelling date from the 1870s, the building is substantially older. They serve an excellent pint of no-name bitter.

| Edward Rutland | On entering I found what appeared to be the smallest Wetherspoon's ever, peaceful and comfortable and, of course, serving some decent ales. The, walking down the mirrored corridor I came to a much larger noisier area with another bar counter, lots of TVs and a dance floor.
