Ah, The Clifton – it's one of those Wetherspoon spots that just feels like a reliable old mate, you know? Tucked away in Sedgley, it's got this wonderful history as a former cinema, and I love how they've kept that essence alive with stories splashed across the walls; it really adds a warm, nostalgic touch to your pint. The staff are absolute gems, always cheerful and on point with service, which makes popping in for a drink or a bite feel effortless and inviting. And let's not forget, it's super budget-friendly, so you can stretch your evening out without worrying about the bill. On the downside, if you're driving, parking's a bit of a faff – it's limited and you'll need to fork out for it, which isn't ideal after a long day. Plus, I've seen mentions of accessibility problems, like chairs blocking the way to the disabled loos, which isn't great and could spoil the experience for some. Food-wise, it's mostly alright, but there are tales of the odd dodgy dish, like undercooked chips or off-tasting batter, so maybe play it safe with the classics. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back night with your lot, as long as you go in with realistic expectations – the good bits definitely outweigh the bad, but it's not perfect.
