The Spinney in West Bromwich

Ah, The Spinney – it's one of those pubs that really grows on you once you're inside. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is an absolute winner; folks are going on about how amazing and flavoursome it is, whether it's for a quick bite or that curry club on Mondays. The team behind the bar and in the kitchen are just brilliant, making everything feel so welcoming and full of good vibes, even if it's not packed to the rafters. It's open every evening from 4 PM till 10 PM, which is handy for a midweek catch-up or a relaxed Sunday session, and the prices won't set you back much at all. On the downside, though, the place does look a bit neglected from the outside and inside – it's dark and could do with a spruce-up to make it more inviting. Plus, there have been mentions of noisy groups that can spoil the atmosphere a bit, so it might not be the spot for a quiet chat every time. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after good grub and a laugh with mates in West Bromwich, but keep those points in mind for a balanced night out.
