About the Mare & Colt – your local country pub in Kidderminster

Here at the Mare & Colt, we’ve been keeping things in the family since we opened in the mid-19th century. Once owned by a local publican family, we’re now part of the Chef & Brewer family, continuing our faithful servitude to country pub lovers, both local and visiting. 

Needless to say, ours is an intimate, homely operation, and as a result, you can expect to be treated like a long-lost member of the clan when you drink here, too. If you’re searching for the best pubs in Kidderminster, you can stop looking now.

A town with plenty to offer for all ages

Situated on the River Stour, Kidderminster offers a blend of industrial history, natural beauty, and family-friendly attractions. From Harrington Hall and Hartlebury Castle to the Drakelow Tunnels and the Museum of Carpet (which is exactly what it sounds like), the town’s full of incredible attractions. All of which are made better by ending at the Mare & Colt – the best countryside pub in Kidderminster. 

Wyre Forest is one of the top local attractions, the largest woodland National Nature Reserve in the country. With a variety of walking trails available, as well as routes for cycling, running and horse riding, there are plenty of ways to explore the forest, as well as plenty of fun activities to do within it. 

Alternatively, you can use Kidderminster as a base to explore Worcestershire or Birmingham. The town is well-connected by road, being close to the M5 motorway and having excellent rail links.

The best pub food in Kidderminster

Food is one of the main reasons people go to pubs and, whether you’re one of those guests who like to sample the specials or simply someone who wants a classic pub meal, our food menu will offer something for you. 

A breakfast selection that sets you up for a great day. A lunch menu that varies from hearty classics to tasty bits to graze on. And, of course, a dinner menu combining seasonally-shifting specials, old favourites done properly, and the meal we’re most famous for – our Sunday roast. 

No stone has been left unturned at our pub, so whatever your diet, we’ll have something for you too. All you need to do is come with an appetite. And a second dessert stomach if that’s not too much to ask. Aside from being known as the best pub food in Kidderminster, our pudding menu is something of a local legend as well.

 

Made with care and served with pride

When it comes to our guests, only the very best will do. That’s why we make sure to have everything you need to settle in. Popping in on your own for a quiet pint or to meet some friends? Why not soak up some sun in our spacious beer garden? Bringing your kids? We have a special menu for them to choose from. 

If you’d rather be inside, we also have free Wi-Fi, plug sockets and disabled facilities, plus we can also provide you with a high chair if you need one. You name it, we’ve got it. It’s in our nature.
