Large pub as described below. Don't be put off if the front door isn't open. It was locked when I called but after spotting some customers inside I wandered around the back where a friendly local advised me it is quite usual! Still serving a decent pint of Church End Fallen Angel. Pair this with The Dog and they make the 30 minute bus ride from Brum worthwhile!

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Digby
Former hotel, and it thus seems larger than one might expect from a village of this size? Anyway, the L-shaped ground-floor layout has been partly opened-out but there is a lounge area at the back as well as the main bar areas on both sides of the entrance. Semi-traditional furniture and decor throughout, and there are also a wooden benches along the frontage and on some decking in the rear car park. Just one of the three handpumps was in use when I visited, dispensing a better-than-expected pont of Fallen Angel from Church End (£3.85).

This is a detached pub, with a patio area. It was built in 1860 as a hotel. It is an irregular shaped building, with a mix of round, sash and bay windows on the lowest storey. It is in cream render. The interior of the pub is an L-shape and the size befits the former use. One end is a more bar area, with red lino, which has a dart board and a TV (not on). The other area is more loungey, including a raised area, which is carpeted. The décor has red and white walls, with fake support beams, along with a white ceiling. The TVs here were on, with Vintage TV knocking out the music at a decent level. There are a couple of fireplaces, one brick and one stone, showing where there were old rooms. There is some nice coloured glass above the serving bar. A few flags and mirrors are on the walls and ceiling, leaving the place looking a little bare. The service was functional, the clientele seemingly local, but mixed. Beer; usual tap stuff with a decent enough Ansell's MILD. There were three handpull beers, on two different banks - Tetley Bitter, Bombardier and Young's Bitter. A somewhat dull choice, but at least there were three pulls on. I was happy to have visited - a place I would pop in for one.
