The Court of Requests - JD Wetherspoon in West Bromwich

Ah, The Court of Requests – it's one of those reliable Wetherspoon pubs that you can pop into for a good time without breaking the bank. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really shine through; folks keep raving about Jay and the team for their friendly, attentive service that makes you feel right at home, whether you're there for a quick pint or a full meal. The atmosphere is just lovely too, with those fireplaces and a library-like setting that gives it a warm, inviting feel, plus options for both indoor and outdoor seating to catch up with mates on a sunny day or cosy up inside. And let's not forget, the drinks menu is a winner, arriving promptly and adding to the overall enjoyment. On the flip side, it's not all perfect – there have been times when they've run out of key items like burgers, which can put a dampener on things if you're set on a specific dish. Plus, a few reviews mentioned smaller portions or food that didn't quite taste as expected, like that underwhelming wrap or fudge cake. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back night out in Oldbury, as long as you keep your expectations in check and maybe have a backup plan for the menu. I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area, just go in with an open mind and enjoy the good bits!
