Does Anyone Watch The James May and Oz Clarke Show
About beers around Britain?

Well, they featured a pub last week (episode 5) where they worked behind a bar. It has a brewery attached to it, Saddlers Brewery and the pub is called The Windsor Castle. It's near Stourbridge west Mids. To locals it is actually in a place called Lye.

I have been drinking here since it opened up a few years ago. Its a nice little pub nestled between shit ones and was a bit of a hidden gem. My house is a 30 second walk down the road (I even saw them drive past it on the televisilbox. Woo!)

NOT ANY MORE.

Thanks James and OZ, On Saturday you could not put 2 steps inside the place thanks to all the mindless idiots that decided to 'give taht pub a go', just because they had seen it on the fucking TV whereas normally they would not have dreamt of stopping anywhere near the place because, well, "It's in Lye isn't it Daaahling."

Wankers...

Great beer tho. Thin Ice gets a 10/10 from me.

Spot On!
That pub and the beer is brilliant (one in particular called Worcester Sourcer was out of this world). Avoid the food though. It's bloody awful. Get down Balti Fusion instead.

Damn Oz and James.

To be fair
The food used to be real good. They sacked that chef!
To be fair Balti Bazaar next door is much better.

Worcester Sorcerer is a cracking ale.

When they first opened they used to bring free food out to the tables if you had been in for a while, Mini roast spuds, chicken wings, black pudding etc.

It was great!

Hang on...
Let me get this straight, you are upset that a fantastic pub has been made famous, because it is so good?

Isn't that how these things work?

Well
everyone complains when their favourite underground band accidentally releases a pop record, gets some airplay and end up providing the soundtrack to a mobile phone ad.
