The Vine, West Bromwich, West Midlands

Pub #2298 and Kebab #79:

Taking a walk from West Brom central to The Hawthorns (where there’s a house we are thinking of buying), we decided to stop in the Vine for lunch.  The front of the house is a fairly traditional (and spectacular) pub with a series of small rooms circling the bar; when we ordered our kebabs wrapped in naan, the bartender actually asked us, “which room will you be in?”

We chose one at random and there was a picture of a bunny on the wall.  Yet another sign we were choosing well, this day.

Kebab was good.  A bit salty, but good.  However, I’m intrigued by the back half of the house which incorporates a proper BBQ pit and a huge dining hall.  We’ll be back even if we don’t move into the buurt.
