| A must when visiting Alcester. This 17th century (with later additions), Grade 2 listed pub has won numerous CAMRA awards and rightly so. Today there were Blindmans Funny Farm, Doom Bar, Black Sheep, the local Purity Gold, Wye Valley St George's, Hobsons Town Crier and Elgood Mustang available as well as the local Hogan's Cider. Members of the Alcester Court Leet were there following their attendance of the Annual Chapter of the L'Order of Chevalier Bretvins when the Low Bailiff was intranised (no idea what any of that means!) and the Town's official Ale Taster kindly offered me a sip of his beer to try (although they would do the same from the other side of the bar too). We sat in the bar area, drying off in front of the woodburner although there are numerous rooms to sit in. The clientele was largely middle-aged and respectable, the decor is well-kept, flagstoned floors, immaculate lavatories, all in all highly recommended. paul_d102 - 29 Apr 2012 16:49 |
| Excellent multi-roomed pub, although it has been done up a bit since first visit, it has not been done too badly, a bit modern perhaps but still OK. Good range of beers on normally but on this occasion there was a beer festival on. What luck. Good beer garden out the back and occasionally has music on in the back room. On this occasion there were bands playing in every room as there was a folk festival in the town. Great night, even though a bit packed. Favorite pub in Alcester and quite high on the list for anywhere. Wirral_RealAlians - 19 Feb 2011 20:08 |
| A nice little local pub full of characters. Got a few weird looks being "not from those parts" but we had a good time nonetheless. 8(!!) real ales on tap, this is one for real ale lovers... beergibbon - 16 Nov 2009 18:48 |
| Yes it's a true delight! almost woth moving to Alcester for!! May have also had Veltins had I realised it was on, in any case was too busy enjoying something English & delicious instead! sparts73 - 11 Feb 2009 10:39 |
| Everything a good village pu should be, great food, great garden good staff, and of course great beer, what's particularly good is that even though it obviously gets a good deal of it's trade from the roving sunday lunch brigade it has maintained the charm of a local pub. well worth a visit. mralistair - 10 Mar 2008 19:27 |
