On the opposite side of the rather swollen River Severn from the city centre, this pub is located on a main road heading out to the north of Worcester. This was our last pub of the evening and we received a really warm and friendly welcome from the two young bar staff. HPA & Butty Bach are the regular beers. The guest was Oracle. With a youngish crowd, there was a nice, convivial atmosphere in a cosy interior. There's nothing remarkable about this pub. It's just a friendly and welcoming local that makes the most of what it has.

Modest but well-presented façade, just inviting you to go in a give the place a try. Smallish bar area, with most of the seating in a partially opened out room to one side, but the extra tables at the back benefit from a fine view across the River Severn to Worcester racecourse and beyond. Also has a small rear terrace. Six of seven handpumps were in operation, including two beers from St George's - Bitter (on special offer at £2.45) and Charger, Marston's Bitter and Woods Shropshire Lass. Selection of basic rolls in a small chilled display cabinet near the entrance. Despite getting thoroughly soaked walking out from the city centre, it proved to be well worth the effort.
