The Fighting Cock, Kidderminster

I think there are two Cocks involved :-) Quite a find. Smart pub in the village centre - big car park, large beer garden. Inside, a typical country pub - low ceilings, room on room through a series of extensions. Two wye valleys (butty and HPA) and a Hobsons on. Took one sip if the HPA and thought, this is perfect condition. A check on the Good Beer Guide confirmed its status. Highly recommended.

Real Ale from Jennings.

Be warned - this smashing rural pub is at least 10 miles from Kidderminster and lies off the beaten track in Shropshire - definitely not Worcestershire - twixt Bewdley and Bridgnorth. The landlady cooks with as much local produce as possible - squirrel is occasionally seen on the specials board! The steak pies are tremendous!
