Public Houses
There is currently only one pub in Pendeford, called 'The Pendulum'. This can be located near the entrance of the shopping centre car park on Blaydon Road. 'The Pendulum' has a bar & lounge area, as well as benches outside. It regularly shows sport, and also has a food menu.
The 'Fordhouses Cricket Club' (formerly Dowtys until the late 1990s) is situated on the border of Pendeford & Wobaston / Fordhouses, on the Wobaston Road. As the name would suggest, Fordhouses Cricket Club is located there. As well as the sports aspect, it is a social club which requires a yearly membership to gain access. On a Sunday night there is live entertainment in the form of a singer / band / disco / comedian, as well as a bingo session in the main room. There is also an adjacent bar room with snooker tables.
Previously there was a pub in Dovecotes called 'The Dovecote' at Ryefield, though this closed in the early 2000s (decade) and is now a church.
