Former JD Wetherspoon, large open-plan town centre pub with raised seating area and booths. Local histories of Redditch’s manufacturing industries and its involvement in the gunpowder plot adorn the walls, and a large metal horse and rider stands in the centre. Outside, a glass canopy and café-style seating makes for great people watching and a smoking area. Two TVs at each end of the pub are usually dedicated to news or sports. A DJ is advertised Friday and Saturday nights. Re-opened with new management Dec 25.
