The Bay Horse, Stourport-On-Severn

Cream painted roadside pub about 1 mile east of Stourport on the road to Hartlebury. At the front is a square shaped bar counter to right when entering from the car park with banquette all round with wooden tables and matching chairs, another couple of taller tables occupy the centre. Adjacent is a semi divided off room with pool table and screen. There’s another bar / dining room to the side. Three hand pumps with a decent Wainwright plus a large selection of the usual keg stuff from Burton. Outside is a pleasant beer garden and all round a good pub with no pretensions.

Located on the eastern edge of Stourport, opposite Hartlebury Common so probably does well with families at the weekend. However, on a Wednesday evening, the advertised food turned out not to be available which was a nuisance. However, to make up for this, the solitary real ale from the three handpumps - Wainwright (£4.10) - turned out to be excellent. Apart from that, it retains two separate bars, one with a pool table and the other more of a lounge / dining room.
