This is a great atmospheric 18th century pub in the old part of Droitwich close to the Norbury Theatre. It has Bathams bitter on permanently, as well as a good range of alternating guest beers from around the country and the knowledgeable staff who will help you find the right beer for your taste. It has a pool table and a dartboard as well as a crib team, and there is an excellent sunny beer garden along with a heated patio area for smokers.

Live music is available on some weekends and there is a large outdoor stage in the newly refurbished patio garden for use in the summer months.
