The Wheatsheaf in West Bromwich

Ah, The Wheatsheaf – it's one of those unassuming spots on High Street in West Bromwich that you might stumble upon and think, 'Now that's a proper pub!' From the single rave review I've come across, it sounds like they've got the basics spot on: friendly staff who make you feel right at ease, a cracking range of beers that any beer lover would appreciate, and that genuine Black Country warmth that makes you want to settle in for a chat. It's got all the makings of a great local haunt. But, let's be straight, there are a few niggles – like the lack of any online info, no website or clear hours to check, and it appearing to be closed right now, which might put a dampener on things. Still, if you're in the area and it happens to be open, I'd say give it a go; it's worth it for those little touches that make pubbing so enjoyable, even if it's flying a bit under the radar at the moment.
