The Weighbridge Inn — Restaurant in Bromsgrove

Attended on a Tuesday evening before the most recent December lockdown, I had phoned ahead to see what conditions were in place basically sit outside in the marquee first come first served , as we arrived shortly after the evening session started getting a table in the marquee was not an issue however it quickly filled it's quota. The marquee was heated with an overhead heater and a warm air blower so was warm enough with sensible clothing. Service was outdoor from a hatch, every one wore a mask unless seated. Service by the ladies on duty that night was good spirited given the C-19 precautions. I had 2 different real ales both were very good, a small selection of meals/ snacks was also available.

Rather late review of visit on 12.7.24. The best pub in Alvechurch and you don't have to walk far - it's right next to the rail station. Historic canalside pub w/multi room layout, outside seating areas, diverse selection of real ales, ciders and other beers. Was only going to stay for a pint ended up having a few more halves. Friendly and chatty bar person on the day and lots of customers to chat to. Ended up singing 'happy birthday' to one of the kitchen staff. Would recommend a circular pub crawl of Alvechurch and saving this pub for the last. It's about 10 mins walk from the Crown Inn alongside the canal, to get here. The Weighbridge is also the current Redditch & Bromsgrove CAMRA branch pub of the...
