The Sandwell

Head down High Street towards the town centre and you'll find The Sandwell holding court like a proper community pub should. It's the kind of place where regulars actually know each other's names, and the bar staff remember what you're drinking. You're getting honest cask ales from the Craft Union lineup, uncomplicated pub grub that lands, and enough space to actually move around without bumping into someone's pint. There's nothing flash about it, which is precisely the point—this is where West Bromwich comes to be West Bromwich, not some Instagram-bait transformation of what a pub used to be.
