Pubs

Black Eagle, Hockley

The Wednesday evening group's favourite pub.

Good route along the Birmingham Main Line canal towards Wolverhampton and down the Soho Loop to Winson Green Prison for a short run on road.

A quiet local with a garden to leave the bikes - if you ask at the bar they'll give you the key to unlock the gate to the garden. Friendly staff and a good range of beer.

Strawberry Fields, Shirley

Visited with JB on a cold October evening. Pint of Worthington's £2:20. Nice friendly pub, not crowded or noisy. Decor interesting & comfortable.
Good unless you want a range of beers.
