  “The Why Not inn since Josh and Leah have restored it has become a great community pub and hub. It offers a great choice of ales, beers wine and more along with traditional cobs with regular events. We also held our wedding reception here with them preparing a wonderful tasty buffet. At first we thought it was a little expensive but trust me it was worth every penny. Every bit of food had been careful put together and was really tasty. All the team at The Why Not ensured the day was perfect too, we couldnt have asked for any more!! This place offers the very best of hospitality with local Black Country charm! The beers good the foods good what more could you want!? Sadly now we have moved away but we won't be strangers to this great pub. Thanks again and see you soon!”

  “Came here to do a catch up with family. Very popular local pub and great food. The Turkey, Ham and Leek pie was brilliant and so much. Completely stuffed - will come again soon. So two years later they have done a refurb and it looks the business with energetic new owners.”

  “Would be nicer if they offered food. However they do lovely filled crusty cobs and bar snacks like crisps. New owners are lovely. You can bring dogs along. Worth a visit as it's a nice relaxed pub on the quieter side.”

  “Reopened on the 18th December following a refurbishment, and reopened under the Black Country Ales brand. I’m in awe of what they’ve done to the place. As soon as you walk in, you’re met with incredible decor, photos of Cradley all over the walls, a gorgeous open fire, lots of space, a huge selection of ales and a completely redone smoking area with heaters. There’s a new and well lit darts area too. The new owners are incredibly friendly, introducing themselves and ensuring everyone is having a great time. The place is affordable and no longer selling food as it’s a locals pub. It’s perfect, they’ve done a great job.”

  “Was really quiet in there but it was a Tuesday night. Went for my dad's 80th birthday. The staff were really friendly and did everything they could to welcome us. Had a selection of meals which were all tasty. Would definitely recommend and would go again. Thank you to the 3 ladies that made the celebration a great family evening”

We ordered our meals.and had 3 courses, each one was delicious, hot and excellent portions. The price is great and service friendly, and attentive, asking if all was OK. We will definitely return and highly recommend to all !! Thanks so much 😊 Note car parking very small nearby only enough for 4 cars but plenty of spaces nearby roads.”
