Extensive refurbishment gives this pub a smart feel. A central bar serves three separate areas; a bar area with sports TV, a plush lounge and a rear seating area. The outside 'Mediterranean' covered, real-fire heated smoking area has the 'Real Ale Wall' featuring over 1000 pump clips. Good evening meals feature Mexican and Balti nights, which include a drink, and a traditional Sunday lunch. New owners take over August 21 2026. Probably will serve Indian grill food shortly. Check food times with pub.

Information for this venue is provided by the Stourbridge and Halesowen Branch of CAMRA
