The Midlands Wetherspoons Pub Crawl Route

A) The Golden Bee — Stratford-upon-Avon

Start in Shakespeare country at The Golden Bee, a popular Wetherspoons in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon. It’s a great first stop with plenty nearby if anyone arrives early.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

B) The Thomas Lloyd — Warwick / Leamington Spa Area

Next, head towards the Warwick and Leamington area for stop two at The Thomas Lloyd. This keeps the route moving north while giving the group another easy Wetherspoons stop.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

C) The Navigation Inn

Stop three brings you to The Navigation Inn, giving the crawl a classic Midlands pub feel before the route continues towards Birmingham.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

D) The Black Horse

The Black Horse makes a solid mid-route stop. By this point, the crawl is well underway, so it’s a good time to make sure everyone has eaten, had water, and is keeping pace.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

E) The Britannia — Halesowen

Next up is The Britannia in Halesowen, one of the stronger stops on the western side of the route and a useful point before heading closer into Birmingham.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

F) Figure of Eight — Birmingham

The Figure of Eight brings the crawl into Birmingham. This is a lively city-centre-style stop and a good place for food if the group needs a proper break.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

G) The Square Peg — Birmingham

A short hop from the previous stop, The Square Peg is another Birmingham Wetherspoons favourite and keeps the crawl moving without too much travel time between drinks.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

H) The Hornet — Birmingham

The Hornet adds another Birmingham stop to the route and works well as the crawl starts moving towards the final stretch.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

I) The William Tyler — Yardley / Sheldon Area

The William Tyler takes the route east of Birmingham and makes a strong penultimate stop before the final pub.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

J) The Bottle of Sack — Sutton Coldfield Area

Finish the route at The Bottle of Sack, the final stop on this Midlands Wetherspoons pub crawl. By this point, you’ll have completed a full Midlands loop with ten pubs ticked off.

Suggested time: 45 minutes

Suggested Timing Plan

If you allow 45 minutes per stop, the pub time alone comes to 7 hours 30 minutes. Add travel between pubs and you’re looking at a full-day crawl.

A sensible plan would look like this:

11:00am — Stop A
12:00pm — Stop B
1:00pm — Stop C
2:00pm — Stop D
3:00pm — Stop E
4:00pm — Stop F
5:00pm — Stop G
6:00pm — Stop H
7:00pm — Stop I
8:00pm — Stop J

This is only a guide. Traffic, group size, food orders and comfort breaks will all affect timings.

Best Way to Do This Route

For a route like this, a private minibus or coach is by far the easiest option. It keeps everyone together, avoids complicated train changes, and makes the day feel like a proper organised event.

For bigger groups, consider booking a bus with:

• plenty of seats
• room for bags and coats
• a toilet if possible
• agreed pick-up and drop-off points
• a driver who understands the full route

Nobody should be driving after drinking.

Food Tips

With ten stops, food is important. Plan at least one proper food stop, ideally around the Birmingham section where you’ll have more options and a bit more flexibility.

Good approach:

• light breakfast before starting
• food around stop 4, 5 or 6
• water between pubs
• don’t leave food until the end

Days Out Now Tips

Keep the crawl fun rather than rushed. Forty-five minutes per pub is enough for one drink, a quick chat, and a toilet stop, but it won’t leave much room for delays.

This works best when the group agrees the rules before setting off:

make sure everyone knows the final drop-off plan

one drink per stop

move on when the timer is up

no disappearing

keep an eye on slower drinkers

build in a food break

⚠️ Please Drink Responsibly

This itinerary is designed as a fun sightseeing road trip and social day out, not a drinking competition. If you’re consuming alcohol, always arrange a designated driver, use taxis or public transport, or choose low and no-alcohol alternatives. Drink responsibly, look after your friends and never drink and drive.
