The King Arthur Bathams in Stourbridge

Ah, The King Arthur – what a gem of a pub it is, tucked away in Hagley. From what I've gathered from the reviews and a bit of digging, it's got that classic Black Country charm with Bathams' legendary brews that just hit the spot every time. The staff are proper lovely, always up for a chat and making sure everything's just right, which really adds to the homely atmosphere. It's brilliant for families or if you've got the dog along, as they're more than welcoming. Prices are fair too, so you won't feel short-changed after a few rounds. On the flip side, the food's nothing fancy – think simple cobs and snacks rather than a hearty dinner – and being in a quieter spot, it might not suit if you're after a raucous night out. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed catch-up over a quality pint, and with such high ratings, I'd say it's well worth seeking out for a proper pub experience.
