Penn Bowling and Social Club is a well run club for local people. In addition to the bowling, activities include darts, dominoes, poker, bingo, crib, pool, salsa dancing and (of course) large screen TV to watch football. Oh, nearly forgot! It has a bar too, which serves Banks's Bitter and Mild, plus three guest real ales - all superbly kept (Roger, the steward has retired, but the current one keeps the ale perfectly too). Note the ale on offer on the centre pump. Alan Brough has just resumed brewing his bitter and pale ales in his new set-up at the former Springfield brewery in Wolverhampton. Update December 2023: There are now four handpumps; the ales remain excellent, and the club is in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. update August 2018 - There is a defibrillator stationed here by the main entrance to the club. another note: Andy Brough has ceased brewing!
