Whiteheath Tavern in Rowley Regis

Ah, Whiteheath Tavern – it's one of those unassuming spots in Oldbury that just hits the spot for a relaxed evening out. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this cosy vibe that makes you want to settle in with a mate and chat away, and the staff are absolute gems, always up for a laugh and making everyone feel welcome. The pints are spot on, especially the Guinness, and at such reasonable prices, it's a proper bargain compared to some of the pricier places around. It's even family-oriented, which is brilliant if you're travelling with little ones, as they've been known to let kids have a go on the pool table. On the flip side, the operating hours look a bit confusing with all those different listings, so you might end up planning around that or giving them a ring first. Plus, the website's playing up, which could make it tricky to check menus or events online. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for anyone after a no-fuss pint and good company – I'd say it's worth popping in if you're in the area, as long as you go in with realistic expectations for a traditional pub experience.
