Originally known as The New Inn followed by the Grasshopper, the pub was purchased by Black Country Ales in July 2020. It’s a friendly and welcoming Black Country Ales pub located on the edge of town at a busy junction (hence the name). A central bar holds up to eight real ales including Black Country Ales alongside local and regional independents, as well as a choice of up to four real ciders. There is comfortable lounge seating throughout with a real fire, as well as TVs to show major events and international matches. Traditional crusty cobs are available daily. A small artificial garden is outside adjacent to a compact car park. The pub is a short walk from the Avoncroft Museum of Buildings. The pub also offers Board (call for enquiries) and is adjacent to the 145A bus stop, while the 144 bus is a seven minute walk away.
