4. The Old Contemptibles

When Kaiser Wilhelm II called British soldiers a 'contemptible little army' during WWI, he inadvertently named Birmingham's cosiest pub. Historic in its own right with decadent gold-trimmed decor, pies that come with buttery mash and gravy and rich cask ales, The Old Contemptibles is the ideal place for no frills fun this festive season. Here here!

A local favourite, this gastro pub has become a staple in Moseley as a friendly, cosy environment for a chilled lunch, a Sunday roast or a cheeky brunch.
