The best pubs in Worcestershire
Whether it’s after a day exploring one of the county’s many towns and villages or before a long walk through nature, our pubs in Worcestershire are the perfect place to relax. And while you do, enjoy some great food with friends, family, and even your dog! Let’s take a closer look at some of our favourite pubs in the area.
Riverside views
In the picturesque village of Hallow, just north of Worcester, stands the Crown Inn, a traditional country pub. The charming inn dates back to the 17th century and is a stone’s throw away from the stunning views of the serene River Severn.
It’s the perfect place to get together with friends, enjoy a cosy date night, or visit after a relaxing walk with your pet. This dog-friendly pub in Worcestershire serves up delicious hand-picked pub favourites and specials that celebrate the seasons, as well as delightful wines and locally brewed cask ales.
A-maze-ing atmosphere
Nestled in the small Victorian village of Summerfield is the Mare & Colt pub. Unique in its design, this pub is a labyrinth of cosy rooms that transports you back to its Victorian-era origins while you enjoy traditional pub food, refreshing wines and local ales.
For a different atmosphere, why not have your meal out in our beautiful beer garden, complete with tables and sun-shielding parasols, that overlooks the village? It’s the perfect spot to relax with your dog after a countryside stroll.
The Welsh Gate
One of the best country pubs in Worcestershire is the Running Horse Inn. Located on the edge of the small town of Bewdley, this pub gets its name from the sheep rustlers who took part in cross-border raids into England from over the nearby Welsh border.
Today, you can enjoy a meal before exploring West Midland Safari & Leisure Park or taking a drive out to Birmingham city centre. So tuck in before exploring the local area and be sure to take a look at our exciting Supper Club menu if you’re joining us on a weeknight.
A rural restaurant
The charming red brick Peacock Inn is perched atop the Birmingham Plateau in the tiny rural hamlet of Forhill, just two miles south of historic Kings Norton. Originally a coaching inn, the pub is a haven for walkers, ramblers and cyclists exploring North Worcestershire. It’s also less than 10 miles south of bustling central Birmingham, in case you’re looking to explore or escape the city.
The pub itself has a snug and cosy atmosphere with blazing log fires and a lovely beer garden that overlooks the rural Worcestershire landscape, which includes river valleys and dense woodland.
