Select your favourite Only Ordinary by Name pub below:
The White House Walsall (WS9 0QE)
It's been one of Walsall's most popular drinking establishments since it was built in the 1950s. And it has often been a talking-point, not least when it was the first pub in the Birmingham area to get a video jukebox.
Perhaps the feature that makes the Only Ordinary By Name is its distinctive design, with eye-catching whitewashed brickwork and curved, horseshoe style walls.
As well as the locals who have been coming for years, the pub is now attracting all types of new customers with a new food menu and regular deals which offer value for money. Popular dishes include sizzling steak skillets, surf 'n' turf, the mixed grill or Triple House Burger.
Not to mention the decadent desserts. The White Horse is an important part of the local community, with regular social evening and fundraising events helping local charities.
The Plough Inn (TF1 3AW)
When Ed Lowe was in the army, he used to drop into the Plough Inn for a pint when he had time off. Fast-forward to today and he is the landlord, running the pub with wife Ruth and sons Nathan and Thomas helping out too.
The pub has maintained strong military links. Ed and Ruth have raised more than £125,000 for charity and were invited to a Buckingham Palace garden party in recognition of their fundraising efforts for Help for Heroes.
That's not the only thing that makes the pub Only Ordinary By Name. Locals love the vibrant atmosphere, helped along by the only vinyl jukebox in Shropshire. And there have been ghostly goings on too.
When a team of ghostbusters visited the pub, they were stunned to see glasses flying off shelves and curtains appear to open and close by themselves.
