attractions and days out
The Pie Factory
Mad O'Rourke's famous "Pie Factory" public house is located in Tipton Green - with sawdust on the floors, live music and very unusual décor - The Pie Factory is well worth a visit.
It was built in 1923 as the Doughty Arms and took on its present name in 1987 upon a takeover by The Little Pub Company. The Pie Factory is significant for its "Desperate Dan Cow Pies" - A large pie, for one person, filled with steak and vegetables, topped off with a pastry crust and trademark pastry horns. Finish it and you'll receive a well-earned certificate.
The Merry Hill shopping centre and The Black Country Museum are close by, so why not finish your day out here, presuming you can move after eating a cow pie!
