Fairly busy country pub where the welcome didn't feel quite as warm as other local pubs. Sky Sports News was showing on the TVs, with a number of locals keen on viewing the final football scores. Wye Valley HPA is the regular ale. Also on was their Butty Bach, Thwaite's Lancaster Bomber, Malvern Hills Black Pear & Pershore Solstice Gold. The cider was Weston's Old Rosie. The interior was nicely decorated.

Nice pub with good choice of guest ales. Rather spoiled by morbidly obese gobshite local at the bar mouthing off at the top of his voice to nobody in particular.

Been passing this pub for couple of years, finally nipped in. Got pleasantly surprised and made welcome, good range of beers, stuck to the "Old Hooky", haven't had such a great pint of Hooky in years (11/10) add Tyrells crisps = Total bliss.
Understand other comments, dont mind regulars, long as they don't look over like they're chewing a wasp. However, everyone pleasant, a very tidy & comfortable place, and very smart bar crew.
Might eat next time, but just for the service, and the 'Hooky' - a big 9..

Busy, friendly local pub with a loyal clientele. Sometimes feels that you are the only one there that doesn't know everybody else but this feeling does not come from the staff who are always welcoming or the owners are appear active all the time. All the draught beers seem to be in good nick and reasonably cheap. Food tends to be in the "Pub Grub" category, the loos are really good and there is a fully enclosed smoking room with a fire and a telly.

Used to be a Banks's mild and bitter pub. It has retained these and added four more real ales, usually including Bathams (unusual this far south). Good pub food at a sensible price. Bustling and popular.

Could be my local, but lacking in personality. Cant say exactly whats wrong with the place but I go on a 4 mile trip elsewhere to get a drink, I could walk to the Marlbank in 5 mins. Much, much better pubs in the area. Shame.

Small but friendly little pub that has a few real ales and does some very good home cooked food. Cracking pint of speckled hen, not too far from Three Counties Showground if anyones visiting a show there and well worth a visit
