Just to be absolutely clear, yes this is a Wetherspoons pub. BUT it both needs and deserves pointing out and bigging up because it is by far the best pub in Oldbury.
This place opened sometime towards the end of 2011 and uses what was once the local library and, before that, the local court. Apparently the holding cells are still extant upstairs. The walls and pillars are lined with real, hardback books (not just spines like I've seen done before) so if you're waiting for someone, you can pick one up and have a flick through. There's also an open fire for cold days. Wetherspoons apparently spent something like £1 million on this place, and it shows as it's the warmest and most well-decorated one of their chain in the area that I've ever been to.
The staff are all extremely friendly and polite. In fact their the friendliest of any Wetherspoons staff I've ever met. The beer is well kept and there's always a good selection of guest ales. The only Wetherspoons I've been in that's as good is the one in Llandudno and that's because their food is delicious. I've eaten here a couple of times and I'd say avoid the cheap menu if you expect anything other than cheap food, but apart from that I cannot fault the place.
Great experience in such a historic place.
I was amazed and wondering how come is sustainable to have such a fast and amazing service, great food , massive building at such low rates ??
Truly impressed by the timing I think we ordered a full English breakfast my friend and I with some hot drinks and they brought the food in less than 10 min. Crazy but true !! I loved it . Specially the fried eggs and the bacon are delicious. I went for classical white and perfect toast crunchy and fresh!
You may struggle a bit for parking though as there's a space for max 10 cars.
Good location not too far from civilization so you can easily get there by public transport.
Great place to enjoy with family or your other half.
My favourite Wetherspoons. Always excellent service and a nice atmosphere. Food lovely and as always, great value for money. Visit here often and our daughters love coming here for lunch. You can't beat the Empire State Burger!
See you soon.
