Winner of CAMRA’s 2019 Pub of the Year competition for Staffordshire, this elegant building is home to Tamworth Brewing Company. The cosy upstairs rooms have Tudor features, the historic courtyard beer terrace to the rear offers striking views of Tamworth Castle, and there’s café-style seating to the front. Eight handpulls usually feature two Tamworth ales, with the remainder from near and far. Varied snacks are offered, plus a wide range of gins, wines and bottled beers. Regular live music.
