The Plough, Worcester

Very attractive pub, with part of the bar inside the main entranceway and well-decorated rooms on either side. Good atmosphere, with the barman proffering a friendly welcome. Only had time for a half of Hobson's Bitter (£1.35) - one of six good choices available on handpump - but will certainly call again to spend a bit more time looking around properly.

Very busy pub that features in the 2014 Good Beer Guide. Grade II listed. Warm and cosy inside with fires on in both rooms. Outside drinking area also busy and the tables occupied by a group of Morris Men. We chose the Popes Brewing Co Raj. Good beer but very spicy.

Lots of 9's and a 10 in the ratings for this pub, so I don't think anyone will have second thoughts to visit here. The staff and drinkers were a good friendly bunch and what with the beer well kept, you will need to allow a bit of time on your visit. Six pumps all in use, we were fortunate on our visit as they had two Ludlow ales on, Ludlow Gold and Ludlow Best.
