The Holly Bush Inn Pub in Bromsgrove

Have been before with family and always enjoyed our food. Today was no exception. Just my husband and I today. We had faggots peas and chips. Most enjoyable and excellent value for money. Would have loved a sweet but had no room for one.

Fabulous food and price. Highly recommend this place for food. Small menu with no frills but suits me. Traditional British, homemade pub grub.

Lovely food and very friendly staff the lemon sole is lovely homemade chips too 😋😋would defo recommend to anyone who wants a nice meal in a traditional pub with friendly staff! I have had the ham egg n chips too delicious n also the trio of fish cod scampi n lemon sole 😋😋they also have homemade specials too it's my favourite place to go 😘

Great food, very well priced. Staff very friendly. Typical country pub. Consider making a booking first. Will definately return soon..

Fabulous food at a very competitive price in a lovely olde world environment with top class ale . What more could you ask for

Service very good staff very helpful price good value as well but would say the pie could do with little more gravy

Long waiting time for food but once food arrived was well worth the wait. I'd go again for dinner without doubt good honest home made meals and home made chips .

Basic Simple nice food that suits me at a good price, The portion sizes were nice and a reasonable size. The Beers were excellent especially the Ale. Quite a quaint antiquated invoicing system that I had not seen for years

Traditional British pub with a traditional menu of home cooked food. Certainly not a modern pub but a friendly welcome and local customers. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced!

Had booked a table for 5 friends 6 weeks before, were told on the phone they were only doing one sitting at 12.30. After driving 6 miles arrived at 12.25 to an empty car park which we found unusual. Went to the front door to read a notice that they were not open that week due to unforseen circumstances, we thought we had left our phone number when booking, but even if we hadn't it was very unprofessional not to take a contact number. What a wasted journey.

Ah! Back again (second time since lockdown easing). Good safety measures in place. Exactly the same delicious food as before, cooked to order, served with a smile and a sense of humour. Same good selection of beers, cider, wines and spirits. Great!

Been twice, since reopening on two consecutive weeks. Food was totally inedible! Was given the benefit of the doubt, on the first occasion, but not the second!! If you cannot cook, chips peas and fry an egg properly, I suggest you give up!! I would not eat there again for free!

Graham Keightley took on this quintessential English pub years ago and with his plain but beautiful menu, his traditional ales and ciders turned into the must-go-to pub. We were friends with him for many years, my husband carried out all the maintenance work and my daughter worked at the Sunday cook. This little pub epitomises Englishness. Great food (try the lemon sole or the steaks and the plough mans with a bowl of home made chips is to die for). Great beer and such a friendly community atmosphere. Highly, highly recommended.

Visited tonight and omg what a gem of a pub. Food outstanding, waiter a credit to the place an barman very friendly. Excellent value for money will definately be back.

I just don’t understand the rave reviews . One of the group had cod in batter. Lots of light batter unfortunately very little fish. Yes something should have be said to manager but people find it difficult when in a party of people. On the plus side it’s been pointed out ,if you have this problem bring it to the attention of a manager. My ham was nice but that’s about it. It reminded me of lunch served at local cafe. Again a beautiful lovely traditional English pub with about three open fires. Unfortunately not one of them was lit. Why would they not utilise these features. If felt cold and dour & even the lady serving seemed rather dour. The pub was quite packed but it seemed like regular clients. Rather a bland occasion all round.

Car park full which speaks volumes. Another good meal, basic home cooking, reasonable prices, cooked to order so you do have to wait. Great coffee.

A really traditional pub with great ales and fantastic staff. Ok it is certainly not fine dining but the food is very good for pub grub and always consistent especially the fish, prices are around £8.95 and it probably serves the cheapest wine around at £3.30 per glass, ales are also great value for money. It has a great atmosphere and the place is always buzzing

Visited with friends for lunch. Old fashioned pub serving an old fashioned plain food menu. Don't expect fine dining. Very popular with a certain generation, everything cooked to order so you may have to wait. Good stock of real ales.

A lovely little traditional pub serving great food. The menu is not extensive but there is something for everyone and all the food is freshly cooked. Highly recommend a visit here.

Everyone has a different view and what suits one might not suit another but for me this was a truly exceptional example of the great British pub. Considering it's location it has the true atmosphere of a local pub with several real ales on tap and a few locals at the bar. Décor that has accumulated over the years with old photos and an eclectic mix of furnishing took me back many years to the pubs of my youth. Our party of 10 were eating as well as drinking and none were disappointed. A majority went for fish based meals and the general comment was that the batter on the tradditionaly prepared fish was light, smooth and crisp, exactly as it should be. No fancy menu with al sorts of trimmings; just great wholesome food well prepared and at reasonable prices. Approximately a dozen standard dishes plus a special of the day. Desert was again a choice of several good old standards and each was plentiful and tasty. I had the cheesecake and it was great. All complemented by efficient and very friendly staff. Exceptional value for money and a must for a future visit.

Just can't beat this place for country pub atmosphere, tasty freshly cooked food and a good range of beers and ciders (along with the usual soft drinks, spirits and wines).We're regulars here, visiting once a week or so. Never had a bad meal. It's typical pub grub, but cooked to perfection! Lemon sole is a favourite, but the menu, while not extensive, is broad enough to please most palates.Well worth a visit!

A lovely little pub. Here since the 19th century. Staff very friendly and accommodating, great range of beers, including Holden’s and Guinness, the menu is simple hearty, well cooked food, without the handicap of being a rip off which you find with several pubs. Definitely we have found a little gem and will visit again. It’s best to book a table as it quickly gets filled up.

had a nice meal here cooked lovely and at a fair price in a nice old fashioned pub going this week again the beer not bad either would recommend

An old fashioned pub with real ales. It has great food at great prices. Ok it is pub grub but the lemon sole and the cod are extremely tasty, most of the dishes come with a choice of chips or salad and for the price it is excellent. Friendly staff in friendly surroundings. The menu never changes but there is quite a good choice.

Really excellent real ales plus good old fashioned home cooked food with no frills. Helpful and friendly staff, very reasonably priced food. Comfortable, cosy and authentic old world charm with original beams and a real fire. Understandably very popular. We both had the Cold Ham, Chips and Peas, I asked if I could have an alternative to the chips and was offered a Jacket Potato, which proved to be an excellent choice.

Popped in for pre dinner drinks prior to going to The Five Spices opposite and we were all pleasantly surprised at the choice of drinlks and the warm welcome from the staff and regular customers. Will definitely return

We have visited before in the week and thought the meals were ok. Today we called for Sunday Lunch, they don't do roasts it is still the same menu. Not sure if there was a different cook in the kitchen but the chips were horrible. The fat had obviously not been hot enough and they tasted as if they had been boiled in fat, not crispy and a pale colour. Will not be returning.

The staff are very pleasant and the food is very acceptable.There is a reasonable choice of food. The lemon sole is particularly tasty.

I visited here for Sunday lunch with family following a recommendation. We were pleasantly surprised to find a traditional English ale house with a small but perfectly formed menu - and of course, a warm welcome from both the landlord and the locals who were settling in for Sunday afternoon pint or two!

Dined here for lunch this week. Very Olde Worlde pub which hadn't changed since our last visit in 2001. Nice dining area and a nice venue for lunch. We had 2 steaks and a lemon sole. It's pub grub, but better than most chains and reasonably priced. Meals served with chips and peas, although you can request a jacket potato as an alternative to chips. Drinks reasonably priced. Friendly staff and meals served with a smile.

Don't go to this pub if you want fine dining, however if you want nice home cooked food served in lovely surrounding then this is the pub for you.

On way back from shopping at merry hill ,popped in for food and what a excellent idea,

Had to visit site for a reinspection and liked the atmosphere and the staff were friendly so decided to have food which was lovely. Had chicken goujons with chips and was lovely. Place is clean and well kept and the staff lovely. Would go to again if I was in the area. From a Welshman visiting.

Visited here to meet with friends for lunch. Staff were very helpful and we had a lovely table in a quiet corner. We chose to have two starters each from the menu, one each as our starter and the other as our main, which proved to be an excellent idea.

Good pub with local ales and home cooked food reasonably priced. Food cooked to order so fresh and hot. Ate at lunchtime and was busy. Would go again.

Visited here on Monday evening for a meal. Had the sirloin steak which was tender and tasty, followed by the apple pie and cream which was very good. The food was served promptly and the staff were friendly. Charlie who was serving in the bar is always very friendly and knowledgeable about beer. Good old fashioned pub serving excellent beer. Everything is reasonably priced.

Had a couple of pints of well kept Hobson’s Twisted Spire beer plus steak and chips with all of the trimmings. Tender, well cooked and presented steak. Home made bread and butter pudding- excellent. Proper rural pub with quality value meals and good range of Hobson’s beer. Welcoming bar staff make it a pub with a loyal following.

Upon arriving at the Hollybush any enjoyment was soon shortlived because we were overpowered by a wretched stench we think coming from their sceptic tank not good at all are they still open ? something must be very wrong smewhere.

Went here for a Birthday treat for my cousin family get together Excellent food recommend the Rump Steak came with a peppercorn mini pie delicious well presented piping hot cooked just the way I liked it Will certainly go again BOGOF cheapest is the free meal on average £15 for the two meals

Coming off the M5 at Junction 4, we were lucky to find the Holly Bush Pub. Although we were a bit late we were not turned away. We had a delicious lunch, the atmosphere was pleasant and the company friendly. What more could you ask for?

The four of us spent a really good 2 hours here, celebrating my eldest lad passing his driving test. Never been here before. My boys had 3 courses and my wife and I had 2. The atmosphere was just right. The staff are well trained and polite. The prices are not exorbitant. The menu is big enough that there's something for everyone, but small enough that you don't have to pend all night looking for something.

Just eaten here with my family - including my elderly uncle & 4 kids. We go out for a pub tea with him every other Sunday. Couldn't get into our usual pub so my cousin booked us in here . We are so glad she did .... all of us really enjoyed our food & drink. Great to have orders for food & drink taken at table by v helpful & friendly staff. Lovely cosy setting - smelt of real fires as we arrived. Don't think we will be returning to our 'usual' pub ... think this will be our new 'usual ' .... it's much better!

Hadn't been here for years- was so glad it hadn't changed at all. It is what it always was. A nice pub serving food. Had lemon sole - still on menu and fab as ever!! Followed by sherry trifle and lovely glass of cider. Came with my friend who hadn't been before. Loved the simple menu in big print! No stupid fancy descriptions of food - good old straight forward! This is a pub how pubs should be!!! Such friendly service by lovely staff. I will definitely be back !

Nice pub lovely food good portions parking a bit of an issue .. But worth a visit staff friendly and welcoming and not too busy , great for a quick meal during week .

Un grupo de amigos de la vieja escuela de mi marido se reúnen aquí cada miércoles y ha hecho durante muchos años. Cuando estamos de visita en Worcestershire todos reunirse para la cena. Las ofertas no son alta cocina pero son la comida típica de pub británico sirve caliente y en una pequeña zona de comedor. Los precios son muy buenos. Creo que los establecimientos como este se están convirtiendo en una rareza, y espero que el Holly Bush continúa a florecer.

My husband and I come to this pub frequently and I have to say it's a little gem.my husband says the guinness is superb along with all the drinks on offer.The food is freshly made fresh cut chips only criticism portions and plates a bit small but good prices.Sally is a lovely lady along with her daughter who cook and serve the meals. Dave the barman who should be Dave the manager is all you want from a bar man friendly and keeps a good beer. However the female bar staff that work Friday nights aren't a patch on Dave. Friendly little pub honest food honest beer all in all we love coming here it gets very busy so book a table if you are eating. Would be nice if there was a roast on Sundays!!!.

The best barman bar none, pours the best pint of Hobson's. Excellent service and food at a reasonable price.

Fantastic traditional pub, which are few and far between these days. Basic menu, but the food is great especially the fish. Real ales offered, which are superb and changed regularly. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, what more do you want.

Just super. Easy to find, good parking, nice food, great beer, reasonable prices, friendly staff and locals.The very best kind of British pub. Good simple home cooking. Nothing fancy but very well done.Free Houses like these are becoming a rarity so tell your friends! Whether you're a local, a tourist or just a bloke after a decent lunch like me you won't be disappointed.Really pleased I pulled off the A419 on spec.

Ok so it's basically home cooked food, but it was nice and it wasn't much more than it would cost if you cooked it at home. Easy night out. Would recommend

This is a great little pub and restaurant, lovely British, homemade food. The Fish and chips are tasty, steaks great, and lovely chicken Kiev. The deserts ar very traditional, homemade sherry trifle, bread and butter pudding. etc

Lunch time very busy, due to the great priced and well cooked food. Great selection of beers. Extremely. Polite staff. I had fish and chips piping hot @ £6.50. I thought it was great, will definitely return.

Wife and I had lunch a few months back. I had a steak and was asked if I`d like sauce ? Oh yes said I, Peppercorn ? No the lady said, red or brown.....lol We still laugh over this.Right, this is a fantastic pub restaurant who go that extra mile we found. I like trying different beers. I had a pint of mild from the tap. Half way through my pint, the barman brought me over a fresh pint as he thought the first pull wasn`t up to scratch. What other pub does this ??? We honestly love this pub. The menu is slightly basic but that's not a problem. The bar staff and manageress are friendly which is all you can ask for.And to answer the negative reviewers, the pub clearly says about kids being in the pub after a certain hour, so it isn`t as if they spring it on people.

A little gem, which feels like you have stepped back in time! Olde worlde type of pub, offering traditional pub fayre. Simple menu (e.g. steak, fish and chips, scampi and chips, mixed grill, etc.) and food was lovely. Desserts included apple pie, bread and butter pudding, cheesecake, ice cream, cheese and biscuits, etc. Enjoyable meal at a reasonable price. Service was friendly and the pub not too busy.

Lovely night out with our friends up from LondonVery traditional and welcomingThe Hobson ales are kept very well the twisted spire and nutty mild were gorgousAnd along with a vodka and tonic and a coke, a round for just over 9 quidThen some lovely fish and steak for our meal, which again was really niceWill be back again

Small traditional 'country' pub, small bar area and two seperate 'dining' areas, warm and welcoming, albeit a little limited on the 'wine choice' front. The food however, although limited in choice to basic 'pub foods', was actually well presented, well cooked, and excellent value. Getting good basic pub grub, with decent and warm service, and generous portions, and excellent value - you couldn't do better... Recommended for the basic (not meant in a bad way), well cooked, friendly and efficient service, for not-a-lot-of-money... Much enjoyed.

Good old fashioned pub as they used to be. Very busy, food great and very good value for money. Whenever we have gone it is always packed. A nice change from the normal everyday pubs.

Great pub full of character, the food is excellent and well presented The restaurant was full and buzzing

Have visited the Holly Bush many times always been welcomed by friendly staff,the establishment as been owned by Graham for more than 20years,the restaurant is small but the same menu is also served in two bar rooms.The food is always cooked to order,home made chips,fresh fish etc and very reasonable prices.

This was a great first visit the staff were friendly and helpful. It is a proper pub including the locals who are vital in all pubs. The drinks were not over priced either. The menu was limited but more than adaquate for us as if offered proper pub food as sometimes less choice is better and not overwhelming, There was a short but acceptable wait as the food was cooked fresh and was superb offering excellent value indeed, This must be Belbroughtons best kept secret as we visited a couple of others pubs first that were over priced in our opinion ... We will be going back for sure. This pub does not need to change a thing it is perfect as it is.

Have just visited(weds the 12th of July) this lovely pub, welcoming reception, ambiance, ale, food and service. I was previously told about the food and i wasn't disappointed, i couldn't fault anything.Well done!!!!

We eat here fairly regularly there is a fairly limited menu (no starters). The food is all cooked fresh and homemade. The homemade chips are absolutely gorgeous. Very reasonably prices. Staff are very friendly.

A great local , with a really good choice of ales at hard to beat prices, . We love the place and the food is lovely,and certainly not expensive,try the lemon sole and scampi. A really friendly atmosphere in pleasant surroundings. You won't be disappointed

You immediately sense that this is not a chained pub, the welcome is casual and the atmosphere relaxed. This was our first visit and having booked found it difficult to work out the system for ordering food, some people ordered at the bar so we did too not realising that there was a waitress.The food was very good, both fish and meat. My only complaint was the long wait for the meal to arrive at our table, maybe we arrived at a busy time. We will use this pub again.

My wife and I and her sister and brother in law went here for lunch last Thursday. Warmly welcomed and shown to our table . Our ordered drinks arrived promptly as we perused the menu. My sister in law and I chose the Fish Combo which consisted of a cod fillet and a plaice fillet in a deliciously light batter with several scampi together with chips and a small side salad. Good job we had saved ourselves for this feast !!! My wife chose the scampi and my brother in law sausages and they were were well pleased with their choice. The girls followed this with a trifle and we boys chose the bread and butter pudding. This is a superb pub serving excellent real ale and a truly delicious menu at a very agreeable price.

Not been here for 20 yeard..but had a lovely meal (Cod & Chips, peas & salad) on Saturday night, as we was on our way to Catshill Club. I booked that morning and it was a good job I did, as all the tables said 'reserved'. We sat with a drink and ordered..the menu is quite small only about a dozen choices, mixed grill, steak, scampi, lemon sole, cod etc all looked great! Staff were very nice, quiet talkative, the surroundings: a quaint country pub with many old photos around the room. Toilets: spotless.. plenty car parking spaces at front and rear. My only moan would be we waited about 45 mins from ordering food..to it coming to the table..but that said, it was a busy Saturday night, and freshly cooked food and piping hot....lovely!!! Well worth the wait, and very reasonably priced, two meals and three drinks for £20. We will visit again if we are in the area. Thank you.

Wow! What a cracking little pub this is. Had a bit of a do there on Saturday 20th Feb for our 94 year old dad and our son who was off on a world tour. It was an absolute delight from start to finishMany thanks to Sally and Louisa who looked after us and made sure we were all ok and provided us with great food and great service.Drinks are very nicely priced and awards have been won for the ales they provide.We all had a great time and will make this place our little localGets a big tick from Mick xx

It was a first visit to The Hollybush pub for a meal for our party of four, we ordered two mixed grills , one Gammon and egg and a fish trio combo, we were all pleased with our meals and all well cooked and good portion meals. We ordered our desserts two sherry trifles , one apple pie and ice cream and a mixed ice cream, and we enjoyed our desserts. The menu at this pub is limited and needs a up grade to bring it up to the modern age. Overall we had a good meal and enjoyed our visit and enjoyed the beer served by the friendly bar and waiting staff.

A really friendly little pub with plenty of atmosphere, a real pub serving real ales at great prices, The food as well is lovely, don't expect an imaginative menu, nearly all dishes being served with chips or maybe baked potato with some but what they do serve ie lemon sole or cod with chips peas and salad is plentiful, well cooked and appertising and as well great value for money. I would definitely recommend it for a cheap meal served by friendly staff in a real pub frequented by locals

Usually good beer, if monitored closely by the bar maid - who provides a very warm welcome and cheerful chat. This enlivens the place. At its best on a Mon and Wed night. Good value food and Hobsons beers.

This is a country pub, so no fine dining. However, the quality of the food is excellent and the service and staff very friendly. 4 of us had a lunch. 2 chose the Battered cod, 2 chose the Lemon sole. All cooked perfectly. Good size portions as well. Wine menu not extensive, but a bottle of house white, 2 pud's and 4 coffee's all for £48 is very good value.It's always best to book.

There certainly is no warm welcome from the host Graham this does not exist and when you do see him its a picture of misery he wouldn't even look at anyone?On the evening I was there for a meal if it could be called that, there were several complaints about the food.My advice is don't waste your money at this place I won't.

Never disappointed when eating here.Love the good which is always freshly cookedHighly recommended.

What a great pub, first class ales and lovely food, always a warm welcome from the staff with a good atmosphere best pub in Belbroughton

Cheap and tasteless bulky food in a atmosphere you could cut with a chainsaw.Beer cheep.Food is as good as your great great grandparents.

Fine dining this is not, but for top quality pub grub this place just cannot be beaten! Good range of real ales and the essential Thatchers Heritage. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent value for money.

This local pub serves good food, the fish especially and well kept beer(Hobson's). The staff are friendly and helpful and the Holly Bush provides really good value for money. It is usually necessary to book in advance as the restaurant is quite small and they do have a lot of regular and repeat customers.Well recommended!

I always thought this pub was a great pub for food and beer. ..It may well be but they don't allow children to dine in the evening. We (8 people, including 2 children aged 12 years and 17 years) were turned away because we hadn't booked. Children aren't allowed near the bar area even for eating only in the top seating area above the bar! !! We arrived at 645pm for a meal and a beer. ..I'm sorry but shan't be going again either making a booking or not. Families are not welcome in the evenings regardless of age even if they are 12 years old and 17 years old and very sensible. A real shame as we had family visiting and wanted them to experience a real pub. ..we went to the Robin Hood in Drayton instead, fantastic pub, very welcoming.

What a great pub/ restaurant , friendly staff, good quality food well cooked and presented, Drinks not expensive, beer from Hobsons brewery ( small brewery of craft- ales). Recommend booking ahead as always busy! With a lot of regular diners

Genuine village type pub here and should hopefully remain.Not for the fast food type or those whose pretentiousness may not appreciate the local customers or the home cooked food and old world ambience. Nearly always busy in the dining room with repeat customers you may enjoy the bar area if so.Leave room for us though.

This is a proper pub with good service provided by hard working, friendly staff. OK, so occasionally you might have to wait a while for your meal if it is busy, but this is a small price to pay for being served with freshly prepared and cooked food. To those who have complained, remember this is a pub, not a restaurant and they certainly don't charge restaurant prices! And I have never felt that 'regulars'have received preferential service either! Add to this a superbly kept and very reasonably priced range of Hobsons ales, pleasant rear garden in which to sit on sunnier days, clean loos and excellent coffee to finish. What more do you want?

The tables were sticky and needed wiping over, the menus tatty and covered in marks where food and drinks had been spilled. The vinegar bottle was dirty and had something nasty growing inside it and it was clear that the condiments set had not been introduced to soapy water for a considerable amount of time. It is a real shame, the building is charming and the staff pleasant, it has such a lot of potential and has plenty of passing trade. We only ordered a lunch of sandwiches and chips. In fairness the food when it arrived was tasty and good value for money. We had decided to give this place a visit following recommendations from friends, I am told their fish dishes are very good both taste wise and value wise. We however were very disappointed and not sure we will be back in a hurry - Sorry!

My daughter chose this pub for a meal for us to meet her new boyfriends mum, her partner and his nan as it was halfway between both homes.We have passed it hundreds of times over the years and never visited.Lovely old welcoming pub with small dining room (and stunning Christmas decorations)Delicious well cooked and presented meals. We weren't made to feel rushed and enjoyed desserts and leisurely coffee to round off a lovely evening enjoyed by all. I personally have an aversion to being asked frequently 'is everything alright?.' This did not happen and our clean plates said it all. We will return very soon.

Been here a few times with friends who rave about the place. Have always enjoyed a nice meal the fish is nice and the price is good but nothing special, and the menu is very limited. The place is always busy with regulars and they obviously get priority meaning that the service is very slow and I often feel like an "outsider" with no right to any attention when dining. I appreciate they have a great number of regulars however I feel they should treat all their diners with the same service.

Great fresh food and a good choice of beverages all at very reasonable and realistic prices.Very welcoming,attentive and efficient service.

If you want chips and peas with anything, then this is the place for you...this is how the menu reads. Service was slow and inattentive, so bad we walked out without ordering.

had dinner this week( we dine here often )and once again their fish dishes are outstanding. there is a waiting time ,however when the food is prepared for you specifically (not for the total pub) it is a small price topay for quality.their "fish combo" is to be experienced ,all freshly cooked with hand prepared chips .prices are very reasonable plus real ales at a realistic price.not open all day for food but worth the effort for the dining experience.

A very traditional and friendly pub with very realistic prices. What pub now does a pint of Hobsons ale and a glass of wine for £5.30. The food is slightly better than pub grub, freshly cooked so you may have to wait a while for the very generous portions. It is nicely presented and there is quite a lot of choice. Overall the pub has a great atmosphere with locals drinking there regularly and it is one to definitely try.

Lovely people staff and customersGood foodHighly recommendAlways made to feel very welcome indeed Not been well and this place is a real tonic

Visited this restaurant yesterday with family. Meal took 1 hour to come - those arriving after us served first. Mixed grill was generous in size, but medium steak was nearly raw and had a very large piece of gristle, pork chop had a large piece of gristle in it, and sausages seemed under cooked. The Gammon was not cooked as requested. There seemed no room for movement in the menu - e.g. a request for a sausage instead of peas was 'not possible'. I agree the prices were very reasonable, but the quality of the meal was not. I have eaten here before but shall not be again.

Yet another great night out at the Holly Bush!!Great meal Lovely real ale yet again.Tradional pub with a great atmosphere.Very rare these days as most pubs have lost their way.

Friendly, welcoming staff. Nice surroundings and a well kept pint. :-) A nice place to finish off a shabby evening in Five Spice.

food lovelystaff friendlyfood very reasonably priced for home cooked foodslight wait for food but thats because its all cooked freshgood range of beers

Serves real ales.Hobsons.Great ales from Cleobury Mortimer.Town Crier,Twisted Spier and Mild are the order of the day,and all three are kept in excellent condition.Many keg products are also available with a wide choice,not forgetting the cider,Thatchers Gold and Heritage are available here. A lovely old fashioned pub grub menu is the order of the day for food.As with the drinks,very reasonably priced,probably the cheapest and best value in the area!Everything is fresh except for the peas (frozen),even the chips are freshly made from local spuds each day.Fresh fish battered or bread crumbed on the premises.(Their lemon sole is famous for miles around) The pub itself is like a step back in time with great service from the long serving licencee and staff alike.A wonderful atmosphere,well worth an experience. Very well recommended.
