West Midlands First Micropub - 2013.

Welcoming one room beer-focused pub converted from a vacant shop, the West Midlands first micropub was opened in 2013 by Morton brewery. A simple formula is followed with no distractions, just good ale and conversation. A log burner was added in autumn 2023 further enhancing the welcoming atmosphere.

Six handpulls serve Morton and Newbridge beers plus ever-changing guest beers usually from local microbreweries, along with up to six ciders or perries.

A broad selection of snacks including locally-sourced pies, sausage rolls, filled cobs, food specials, are served along with fine wines.

The pub is usually open daytime on bank holidays - check website/Facebook for details, staff holiday closures and events
