"This canal-side one bar pub is obviously a true gem in the local community, judging by the mix of customers that were there when we arrived. My pal and I came for the beer and the very nice barmaid convinced us to stay for lunch. We both chose the Roast Lamb Dinner. Although the Lamb was Steam-Roasted, it was delicious, and very tender; plus there was plenty of it; along with generous portions of Cabbage, Carrots, Peas, Roast Potatoes and Buttery Mashed Potatoes, a Yorkshire Pudding, a separate boat of Gravy plus Mint Sauce as well, it was all very fresh and well cooked and excellent value at £4.99. There is a good range of real ales that we regretted not staying longer to try more of."

This pub in Tipton stands out as the top choice by far. It may have seen a decline in the past, but thanks to the new management, it has regained its former brilliance. View menu

I visited this restaurant for the first time last night and found it to have a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The bar staff were wonderful and extremely friendly.

Fantastic pub with great beers, great food and really pleasant bar staff. Managed excellently during the pandemic and very impressed overall with the atmosphere of the pub.

I visit this restaurant every Sunday for lunch and have been to many pubs, but none compare to The Fountain. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, and I couldn't ask for anything better. View menu

What a disappointment we have used the Fountain for years and generally been very satisfied. Today three different ales tried and all frankly undrinkable. The food is OK and very reasonably priced and the staff are excellent but the beer! Suffice it to say we will not be returning any time soon.

I'm from South London... I'm not supposed to know about canals and pubs in the West Midlands... My wife is from Great Bridge just down the road.... she left the area years ago and hasn't got a clue about where she grew up... Well, I love London, but I've also learned to love an area that's pulled it's heritage back from the brink and done something.... Enough said... This pub is by a regenerated canal.... and after a walk along the banks it was a welcome sight for a pint and a sandwich.... and a pretty good pint and a sandwich, with a smile, was provided.... even in these pandemic times. Good on you Fountain Inn.....I'll be back... ;

"The food is really enjoyable. Some of the meat can be a bit dry in parts but generally speaking it's quite good. Is it better than what you'd get at the average chippy? Not for what it costs. Ordering two box meals and a couple of sides got the cost up to £50 with charges. Considering a large mixed meat in naan at my local chip shop is £7, it's incredibly expensive.There's far too much waste which really needs to be addressed. Every food item is at least two layers of packaging deep. With a box meal you have the outer corrugated cardboard box, then all dividers inside, then the kebab sandwich is in a box of its own, then it's in a foil wrapper, then it's in a paper wrapper. It's all needless waste and when we're all trying to be more conscious of our carbon footprint this just isn't required.There are some nice things that just aren't replicated elsewhere, their kebab bread is fantastic and very similar to a traditional Turkish pide. Their sauces are really good too. Full of flavour and balanced well with the meat but I will say there's never enough of it. Three little poxy pots is all you get.The fries are average. Nothing remarkable about them. The spicy fries are a tasty addition but this option does bump up the price but again, perfectly average.Overall I'd recommend that it's worth trying at least once but the prices are way over valued and quantity in some areas lack. If they cut down on all the needless packaging they could even bring the prices down but £15-20 for a box meal (one can of pop, one kebab sandwich, one fries and two spring rolls) it's a bit of a joke."
