The Lych Gate Tavern — Restaurant in Wolverhampton

Being a ' pair of landlords ourselves ' on a course in the area. We called in this establishment and were enjoying a pint of cider and a bottle of peroni .. The guy serving kind of looked us up and down as we were in sports clothing ( not within the dress code of the locals) - we ain't local... As 1 of us nipped to the toilet the other watched as the same server chased the other up towards to toilet.....weirdly spying on someone using the the toilets??? Very unsettling indeed... As expected, down the server came and had a quiet word with myself regarding a ' sniffing ' noise coming from the toilet cubicle..... The said toilet user put his head through a car windscreen 25 years ago and ergo has breathing issues.....

Talk about not fitting in, in a visited town ... Disgraceful behaviour from the server.... And if he's the landlord, then..... Use some more professional discretion instead of assuming we're all drug users. You ' individually' ruined what was our first and last visit to Wolverhampton.

Got this 💯 % wrong this time, how many more times...

If you're after a traditional pub with a good selection of drinks and pub snacks right in the heart of Wolverhampton, the Lych Gate Tavern is it. You can't get any closer to the historic centre of the city without being within the grounds of the church. The Lych sits just outside St Peter's Lich Gate, hence the name. This Black Country Ales pub boasts a good range of cask ales as well as wines and spirits. Snacks range from crisps and scratchings to cobs and sausage rolls - you are also welcome to bring your own food in (cutlery can be provided). The building itself is deceiving - it has only been a pub in its current form for several years; but the rear of the pub is tudor, as is the wonderful upstairs room (which doubles as a function room). The Lych is one of those pubs where you can get away from the daily grind, or come away from a punishing day of shopping for a quiet drink....

After a drink in the Great Western I moved onto the Lychgate Tavern in centre of the city. Even though this is more central it was still not overly busy, especially considering this was 8 pm on a Friday night. Sadly a sign of the times. I had a pint of BFG which I was informed is there most popular real ale. It is a light, not so heavy ale, brewed by Black Country Ales , which suited the very warm evening. There was a good selection of ales, mostly from BCA, who owns the pub. It is a nce, friendly, including dogs, cosy pub, with well kept ales and nice filled cobs if you feel hungry. ...
