Up a steep hill from the town centre, this friendly ancient pub is worth the climb, or alternatively there's the bus or limited parking nearby.

The attractive black and white half-timbered building, dating from 1462, is the oldest pub in Bewdley and is very nearly opposite the original old Town Hall. It has four rooms served from a single bar. There's an open fire in winter, and an ancient wooden beamed interior.

Four or five very well-presented beers from local breweries, cobs and pork pies are available.

At the back there is a pleasant beer garden with views over the town, and a partly enclosed lounge area with high tables in ancient out-buildings.

It's a well-supported friendly community pub serving beers from local and regional breweries and a selection of Belgian bottled and craft canned beers. Cider is from Severn Cider in Gloucestershire.

Folk music and song sessions are hosted every 2nd Wednesday of the month in the bar, and on Sunday evenings there's a quiz at 8pm.

Local CAMRA Pub of the Autumn 2021 or its friendly community atmosphere and excellent beers and cider. Local CAMRA Cider

Pub of the Year 2025. A little gem of a pub.

Cycles can be parked at the rear via the left hand passageway. If locked, ask at the bar.

Historic Interest

Heart of the building dates from 1462 and at that time it was in the centre of the historic centre of Bewdley.
