Plonk

You're on Pershore Road in Cotteridge, that stretch where the neighbourhood really feels like somewhere people actually live rather than just pass through. Push into Plonk and you'll find the kind of place where the staff genuinely know their bottles and won't make you feel daft for asking questions. It's got that relaxed, unshowy vibe that's rarer than it should be—proper neighbourhood wine bar energy rather than Instagram-baiting minimalism. The ratings speak for themselves: locals keep coming back because it just works.
