Having seen one of the photographs showing 9 ales on tap we came here. With some pubs there might be photographs with a good selection on and when you go, it's quite the opposite. We arrived and weren't disappointed. 3 "black country brewery" ales on tap plus Salopian Lemon dream, 2 ciders and another few ales. Also plenty of bottled ales (and cold draught taps of various lagers).
We went for black country pig on the wall (a nutty brown ale) after spending a few minutes trying to decide. Perfect serve and it tasted like it had been well kept. A fair enough price too (£3.60 a pint....ish).
Dog friendly, some friendly locals, staff were friendly and welcoming. A nice enough traditional interior and space outside in the beer garden (plus parking spaces next to the pub).

Read moreWe stayed 2 nights 11th & 12th August as my niece was getting married at Avoncroft museum. After we arrived late Friday afternoon armed with directions we strolled down to Avoncroft which took max 10 mins. On our return we spent the evening in the bar trying some of the ales & talking to Gary the manager & some of the very friendly locals. The room was perfect very well presented & clean with a lovely walk in shower. Breakfast cooked fresh each morning was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay the staff were friendly & helpful especially the manager Gary & deputy manager Helen. Thank you to you both for making it such an enjoyable stay. We will be back to have a pint or two...
Read moreReally nice place. I can hear for the accommodation upstairs. Really clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice welcoming. Great friendly staff down in the bar area and very warm.

I’d definitely come here again and stay (actually am booking it again tomorrow as down for the...
