Black Country Tours

Anyone planning a Pub Tour has a few problems to solve before enjoyment can commence. A major challenge will be to organise transport. For smaller numbers you may be able to bribe or blackmail someone into driving you.... for larger numbers you may consider a coach. This brings its own challenges, largely concerned with the time taken to drive to, and between, pubs. Serious interruptions to the drinking process!

Your saviour may well be Black Country Tours, a specialist transport company based in Dudley, to the West of Birmingham. They operate a small fleet of specialist vehicles, designed to complement any tour of pubs, particularly in the Black Country (eg The Little Chop House, Coley Gate, The Little Sausage and Porter, Cradley Heath, The Little Dry Dock, Netherton, and Mad O'Rourke's Pie Factory, Tipton).

Imagine this : Your group assembles somewhere in the general Birmingham area. A double-decker bus operated by Black Country Tours arrives to pick you up. As you board, you notice something unusual.... a Bar. You immediately begin your evening's quest to Boldly Drink Where No Man Has Drunk Before. Before the novelty of proposing toasts to passing police cars has worn off, you arrive at your first pub, and everyone disembarks to try stationary drinking. When it's time to continue, there is no argument. No-one hides in the loo, or insists on another Quick One. You simply continue drinking on the bus. This is where you also appreciate another of the vehicle's facilities.... a toilet! So the evening continues. At one pub (hopefully soon!) you stop for a meal, maybe with entertainment provided. You wander from pub to pub, drinking all the way! When Last Orders have been called at the last pub, you board your bus for the trip back home. Bliss!
