The Summer House, Wolverhampton

Traditional back street local, though on a main road. Wood floors, stools at the bar, back room with bigger tables, altogether a nice boozer, but the smoke does blow in from the bowling green (what is it with bowling greens & pubs around here). Old Wolverhampton pictures on the walls. I would like this as my local. 4 real ales - Adnams, Landlord, Enville and a guest. Beer quality is excellent. 7 1/2 really for this one

A lovely detached Victorian corner pub with a lower level side extension to a larger 'house' building, mainly in undressed brick, but with a white rendered facade. At the back there is a beer patio and covered food area, bowling green and small bowls pavilion. As usual, a great review from the Monster below. The interior has two rooms catered for by a central serving bar. The bar is in white and red, with wood floor, a nice wood surround fireplace, old photos on the walls, a dart board and a TV which was showing the footy. The lounge is divided it seems between a drinking lounge and a dining area. It is in white and red, with patterned wallpaper, again with old photos and a TV, which wasn't on. The service was very friendly and the clientele at my visit being somewhat mature, a few playing bowls. The music was general and at a quiet level. They do food here, but i didn't eat so can't comment on that. Beer; usual keg stuff with Theakston's Dark Smooth and London Pride, Adnams Bitter a great Timothy Taylor Landlord and Enville Ale on handpull. I completely echo Ale Monster'sfeelings. It is a super pub, almost country like in perhaps not the best area of Wolverhampton. Really worth a visit this one.
