This cosy three roomed pub has become a perennial entry in the Good Beer Guide, its quality beer served by enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff, it has won a string of CAMRA awards and holds two extremely popular beer festivals a year. What started life as a private members club adjacent to the Alvechurch Marina is now a thriving community asset that serves good home-cooked food (not Tue & Wed), including an excellent Sunday lunch. There are changing beers that often include Kinver, Byatts Weatheroak and Wye Valley plus guests from other breweries, one of which is a mild as well as a real cider.
