The Royal London

You know you're in for a proper pint when you walk into this no-nonsense local just off the city centre. The worn wooden floors and mismatched furniture tell the story of decades of regulars who've made this place their second front room, and the bar staff actually remember your order after a couple of visits. The food won't win any awards but it does exactly what it says on the tin - think generous portions of fish and chips, hearty pies, and Sunday roasts that'll see you right through to tea time. The beer selection leans towards the reliable rather than the revolutionary, but when you're this close to the station and need somewhere that feels authentically Wolves, you'd be daft to complain.
