Modern pub that appears to be popular with a younger crowd. The bar area is light and airy and there is a raised section with a pool table. TV screens were showing the Open golf tournament and music was being played. At the rear is a large paved garden area. Marstons Red Man & Wye Valley Butty Bach & HPA were the 3 ales. There was no real cider. Fairly average.

After years of neglect this pub has been totally refurbished inside and out to a very high standard throughout and is very welcoming with 4 real ales available as well as usual lagers and stout ; Now serving food and bar snacks throughout the day with live music being introduced at the weekends children are welcome throughout the day. It has a new pool table and jukebox with a vast amount of tunes with a large enclosed clean safe beer garden to the rear. The toilets have been redecorated and a disabled toilet/baby changing room added, I for one would like to wish this pub every sucess in the future

Good news...ANOTHER new landlord( lady?) and the good choice of well-kept beer pegged at �2 a pint!....now need to ditch the annoying disco on a saturday and allow the old regulars to filter back ( March 2010)
|
AGAIN under new management ( Feb 2010) who really seem to be clueless; A deafening R&B disco in the back room on a Saturday precludes anyone sitting in there, and no-one is dancing anyway !! Will they not learn the music seekers stay down the other end of the town on a weekend?
Add the surly bar staff and when the jukebox is on its constantly turned down when the music isnt deemed 'appropriate'.
Oh, there is normally just TWO guest beers on....!!
|
Now ( Oct 2009) back open with new management, somehow hasn't recaptured the varied clientele and atmosphere. Quiet on Friday, although the mooted rock disco might liven things up.
|
After a packed Saturday 21st March 2009 this pub has now closed....well done the Kidderminster public........
|
Awesome jukebox ( where else can you play the epic 'Stargazer' by Rainbow on heavy rotation?)
Ignore the frankly grotty decor and the smell in the gents and its not a bad boozer. usually variety of tasteless lagers but the beer is good and plenty of guests on tap, although it is quite pricey. Two pool tables, a large beer garden, and plenty of TVs for the footie.
There was talk of live bands but nothings happened in 2008 at least.
|
Lovely pub with good choice of real ales, and plenty of interesting rooms with lots of old items on shelves. Food menu was great, and so was the food.
|
Would be good if they ever actually had Hoegarrden. The last 3 times I have been in they say they've ran out...well, how about actually buying some, or having the pump taken away - cus at the moment it looks like it's there mostly for show.....
|
Friendly pub with quieter front lounge and sporty back room. Range of real ales and good food. Good stop off after shopping.
|
Quality boozer with a mixture of people and atmosphere. Food is Pub Grub as it should be!!
Good out the back in the summer and good for a Lunch time escape from work
|
Like the English pub abroad!
Cosy country pub on the very edge of the shopping centre.
Serves excellent food all day, friendly staff with a wide range of lagers and Real Ale.
Beer garden at the back too.
Excellent pub.
