Established pub with accommodation, near to the River Severn on the opposite bank to the town, not far from the Severn Valley Railway station. At one time it was a 15th century coaching inn. Its Royalist connections in the Civil War led to it being called the Black Boy Inn for well over a century, that being a nickname for Charles II.
The central bar serves the lounge and the bar which has beams, an open fire in an arched alcove, with a small snug adjoining it which at one time was the access to the former hotel. At the front is a separate room that also doubles as a private function room.
Sometimes has a guest beer, e.g. from Wye Valley, Bewdley and St Austell.
Level access off the side (away from the road) into the lounge bar and adjacent gents WC (not adapted), with a few steps into other areas and ladies WC.
