The Fountain Inn in Sandwell

This is the most brilliant place to eat. The food is amazing all freshly cooked and fresh produce. Had the biggest Christmas dinner I have ever eaten. The landlord is the most amazing chef and host. Lovely staff. Lovely atmosphere.

Great pub always a variety of real ales and a friendly atmosphere. Home cooked food is excellent.

The whole service and atmosphere was outstanding and would visit again

Proper pub good choice of ales good atmosphere too

Not a bad pub , but that's it. Not a bad pub.

Traditional pub, great food, pleasant staff. Well worth a visit.

Cheese and Onion Cob's were bostin

Excellent black country boozer, lovely cobs, nice staff. Great choice of beer

Went on a weekend and took a friend didn't realise there is no menu for weekend meals

Can't rate food as we havent eaten here yet. Lovely little pub, very nice friendly staff and atmosphere lively. Good place to go for a drink and a chat, in charming surrounding.

A short walk from the 🚂 station to this canal side 2024 entry into the Good Beer Guide. Down to a choice of 3 cask ales as the Park Life has just gone. They seem to like their cask well chilled here.

Called in for lunch when visiting the area. A proper traditional old fashioned pub, some excellent beers on draught and a big pub grub menu. All the staff we encountered were friendly and efficient. My husband had the faggots and peas whuch he said was delicious, I had a cheese and salad cob which was massive, lovely soft white bread and loads of filling. All very reasonably priced . Pub was very busy with some regulars but food was served quickly and clearly freshly cooked. Will certainly visit again when next in the area

Nice locals pub not far from Tipton railway station. Four cask ales on including two from local breweries.

Old pub by the canal...must stop by for a pint if you love the history of black country

Great food (home cooked), great beer, with a good selection of well kept ales. Well worth a visit. Staff and customers are very friendly. Traditional pub, which is nice and clean which encourages you to eat there.

Love the fountain staff are friendly food good

We first visited here 2 years ago - delighted to say nothing has changed a very friendly welcome when you arrive! Very near the mooring at Coronation Park. Food available at lunchtime, looks fabulous but we haven’t eaten here. Would happily recommend this canalside pub - children and dogs only at certain times, phone to check.

Lovely local pub, great staff, lots of choice for drinks. Highly recommended.

Proper old fashioned black country pub ... A bit cliche, not the place to go unless you're a regular or known within, felt the eyes on me from the minute I walked in, however the ale is decent and the atmosphere is like pubs in the good old days

This pub is very welcoming and very traditional. Food is only served at lunchtine but cobs ate avaulable. The beer is varied and well kept. The landlady is effusive in her welcome. Theethis is that guests/patrins are there to enjoy themselves. There is a tv but noone tskes any notice if it!

Lovely local Black Country pub. Great food, very reasonably priced and friendly staff

Great proper British pub. Clean and welcoming. Reasonably priced drinks. Great outdoor seating areas, one over looking canal.

Dogs allowed only if no one is eating. No one was eating , it was only us who wanted to eat and we clearly didn’t mind. I know, rules are rules but tell me? If I was having a drink with my pooch and someone ordered food would I then be asked to leave? This suggests to me that maybe you’re not quite as dog friendly as you think. Disappointed.

Traditional pub, no fuss, simple food, good beer and most importantly a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

Quiet pub people seem nice but the locations next to a main road. Constant cars etc.

Went in early doors, but was told don't do food in the evening, but had a couple of beers instead and was pleased with my ale ,it was superb I had the hpa a favourite of mine but itwas one of the best I've ever tasted, also they have 3other ales on.Itwas and old fashioned pub very nice and tidy inside, definitely will call in again when working over that way.

Have always loved the fountain, not over priced, great atmosphere, no riff raff , great Tipton pub.

Great choice of beer in a nice pub with a welcoming atmosphere

The rudest old bar maid in the Black Country - walked in with a small dog (and we understand some pubs don’t allow dogs) but to be pointed at and shouted OUT is appalling. Other lady behind the bar was lovely but the gangly one needs to go on a customer service course - or retire - for everyone’s happiness

Brillant old school pub,served through a serving hatch,great beer,rolls to die for highly recommend if in the area.

Lovely local pub with very friendly bar staff.

I didn't eat today, though I thoroughly enjoyed food on a previous visit 😋

I have never experienced such an unfriendly reception from any pub. We walked from The Pie Factory to The Fountain to show our Irish friend some Black Country history and hospitality. There was about 6 customers in the pub. It was 10.45.The lady at the bar said she wouldn't serve us because we hadn't been in the pub before 10.45. IIt really wouldn't have created a problem for her to serve us one drink. She made sure we were left feeling this was a most unwelcoming place.

Unpleasant woman at bar refused to serve us because it was 10 45 and we were supposed to be there before 10.45 for a last orders drink! We were told. We're made to feel very unwelcome when we had travelled there to show our Irish friend a bit of history and Black Country hospitality. Unpleasant unwelcoming.

Had few beers and a cob on a Saturday great beer and cobs and value for money worth a visit if you you get chance

It had been a while since we were last in but I liked the fact that it had been refurbished and very clean and comfortable. We only had a couple of drinks but it very nice.

Lovely outdoor area with tables outside and opposite the canal!

Lovely local friendly people and selection of real Ales Prices reasonable as well. Haven't tried the food yet but all looks good

Love coming back here the staff are friendly and always remember us, great choice of real ale dog friendly does lunch Mon to Thurs and rolls and pork pies locals are great always chatty with us

Great gaffer Great food Great people

Down to earth, lovely service and beers

Great friendly little pub, people are very friendly, food is good. Bar staff lovely

Nice drink & cob, friendly, cosy. We liked it

Brilliant just want to keep going back I run a art class at tipton library and 13 of us went this Monday not 1 complaint.

A group of us were in Tipton to visit the Black Country Living Museum and fancied a pint when we got off the train. We found the Fountain Inn purely by chance, but what a find. The pub was friendly; the Lady Lady (Julie) was wonderful and the beer was good, obviously kept well. If we are in Tipton again, we will definitely visit, for an hour or three!! Thank you Fountain Inn for making us so welcome.

Fantastic pub with well conditioned Ale. Friendly landlady with a lovely smile.

Great traditional pub selling good beer.

Went here on Saturday afternoon pre vist to wwfc (another story) great local pub friendly staff and locals 🍺 Beer great price & plenty of options. Thank all.

Good atmosphere, old proper English pub. Nice basic food, good ale. Sit outside in the sun by the canal and soak up the history

Just brilliant, the food was amazing and the friendliness of the staff was outstanding, a true old fashioned pub that seems to be dying out.

best little pub in tipton. good beer, good food and a great atmosphere.

Good food and excellent service from friendly staff.

One of the friendliest pubs I’ve even been in. Genuine welcome from owners and all their staff. Not the smartest in terms of decor (‘traditional’ better description) but excellent selection of real ales, beautifully kept, and wonderful atmosphere. Just a shame they no longer do cooked meals in evening - still remember an excellent sausage and mash from 7 years ago.

Had dinner last week was beautiful. Really good value for money

The pub was very busy for a Wednesday afternoon which is good thing in my mind The lady on bar was friendly and had some great banter when we ordered the food We order five meals for our party, although the pub was busy the food came in a reasonable time Food was well cooked, good quality and couldn't be faulted, and excellent price Very close to the canal I'd recommend a walk after dinner, lovley pleasent walk 100% recommend this local friendly pub 😁

Brilliant food very good and piping hot friendly staff will definitely be back

What a gem , the food is fantastic the only down side food not served for long around two and a half hours. Friendly staff.

Excellent service great value for money food and drink.

A very Friendly and atmospheric pub. Great Atmosphere and welcoming staff

Friendly atmosphere. And the food is so nice!

Bar staff are amazing and felt like proper yam yam pub arr

Proper pub! Good variety of real ales and lagers, nice atmosphere and friendly Tipton folk.

Ain't been for a while but great pub ...,Great beers Great staff ..

Good selection of drinks with some fixed Ale choices but two rotating selections of Ales too so you'll get even greater variety which is a great thing. Clean layout and still keeping that old fashioned charm throughout, will come back.

Staff kind and friendly. The pub has a great atmosphere whether you are there by yourself or as a couple or with friends. Monday to Wednesday they serve traditional pub food that is generous and good value. Other time ask for their fresh cheese and onion or ham baps. A slice of pork pie as well...generally a great place and lovely people.

Great little pub in Tipton Town centre. Friendly staff and punters. Great local ales. outdoor canal side seating.

Always got great ales on and always a friendly atmosphere to

Very friendly staff, I've lost my bag and in the following morning , one customer saved it for me 🙏🏾💯👍🏾🥂

Nice friendly local pub. Serves real ales. Lovely staff here, always a great night out and they sell quality wine too, if you don't fancy one of their large choice of beers and spirits. Can't wait to try the food.

Great pub good beer good cobs great staff

Good local pub with seating outside.

Good local boozer. Nice beer on draft and reasonably priced.

One of the friendliest pubs you could ever visit, well kept ale cheese and onion cobs for only a quid!

Spent over £30 on drinks at 16:30 then to be told we are not allowed in the pub because of us having a small baby no signs anywhere to say no children allowed

Nice little pub, right next to the canal, staff friendly and helpful

Great food great prices very friendly staff

Good choice of drinks and proper cobs .

Local drinking place, very pleasant. Nice staff.

Brilliant clean pub brilliant friendly staff and fantastic food at low prices

Good real ales and excellent food at a reasonable price.

Went down for a sneaky pint with my daughter who was up from Somerset. She couldn't believe how cheap a pint is! Friendly staff, good beer and the best crusty cobs ever!

Excellent place for a traditional home cooked lunch. Never ever any complaints about the food but so many compliments.

Very nice black country boozer. Good choice of well kept ale. Nice atmosphere and a welcoming barlady. Thank you.

Very good, excellent service beers in excellent condition very good quality excellent experience

Good selection of cask ales ..Oakham on when I visited ..friendly staff . Used this pub on the way back to Tipton station following visit to the Black country museum .

Bustling and full of people, v local slightly cleeky vibe. Friendly enough, with minimal service and great selection of real ales. Lighting is daylight balanced LED and creates quite an artificial experience. Very pleasant music.

Nice friendly pub, decent ales.

Good old pub with lots of history on the walls, staff was very friendly

Visiting as on a narrow boat enjoyed a lunch time ale, left.... yet so good we returned with our boating companion. Dog friendly which is a bonus and so good to see it being used by the locals...would certainly revisit.

No hot food, but land lady friendly and offered a ham cob instead

Cracking atmosphere, bostin ale selection!

Great food, great portions and great environment

Lovely friendly place,food is excellent,go there at least once a month.Good value and plenty of food on your plate.5 ☆.

Our new local. Love it with a fantastic smoking area. Best pub in tipton.

Visited here for the history of the Tipton slasher, William Perry.

Great food and pleasant staff. Warm atmosphere with fireplaces.
