Website

Reopened December 2021 as a Wetherspoon after a sympathetic refurbishment and extension of the original premises, following three years of closure. One large, open plan room with plenty of seating and a long bar across the back. There are more secluded areas at the edges. The pub has exposed timbers and brickwork and an open fireplace.

Large number of old photos and information on King's Norton Green, which is nearby, the surrounding area, and historic local persons. Usual Wetherspoon food and beer range but guest beers can be interesting, from smaller breweries. There is a large outdoor paved drinking area to the front and rear.

Information for this venue is provided by the Birmingham Branch of CAMRA
