This former Marston's pub was renamed The Bailey Head and reopened under private ownership in March 2016 with a vison to create a community centred pub. Serial winners of the Branch Market Towns Pub of the Year and winners of the overall title in 2019. The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) named the pub the UK’s Best Rural Independent Craft Beer Pub or Bar 2020 and it has been a finalist many times. Six cask beers are supplemented by eleven other draught beers, of which at least six are KeyKeg. The range constantly changes, with over 600 different cask and 150 keg/KeyKeg beers a year served pre-Coronavirus. At least one dark cask and one dark KeyKeg beer is always available. Four ciders and a perry are served on handpull, all meeting CAMRA's definition. A substantial range of bottle and can beers are carried from across the UK and overseas. The beer selection is supplemented by an extensive menu of gin, rum, vodka and whisky as well as an in-house cocktail list. Food is no longer served but customers can bring in their own food or get food from one of the local takeaways. Local community groups are welcome. A range of board games, for children and adults, is provided and the pub is very dog friendly being voted Most Dog Friendly Pub in the West Midlands in 2017.
