Step inside The Tilted Barrel, Britain’s new ‘wonkiest pub’ following Crooked House fire

A Black Country pub called The Tilted Barrel - where pool balls are said to “roll uphill” - is now Britain’s wonkiest boozer following the loss of the Crooked House.

The 200-year-old pub, in Tipton, West Midlands, is just five miles away from its demolished counterpart which caught fire on 5 August.

It is also wonky due to mining subsidence but unlike the Crooked House, the site is Grade II listed, which will help protect its future.

Landlady Haych Mann, 38, who took over The Tilted Barrel in February, said it was “bittersweet” to take on the mantle of “Britain’s wonkiest pub”.

She says she had to move the pool table out of one lopsided room, where balls rolled uphill, just like they did in the Crooked House.
