Cocky Anchor, Worcester

Great contrast to spoons across the road. Small bar area at front with rooms further back and upstairs. 3 real ales.

Just a note to say they have a rooftop terrace - however, it comes with caveats. You cannot take the cask from the downstairs bars. Mainly aimed for cocktails, but apparently it does have bottled beers. Also, its only open on Friday afternoons and Saturdays. The reviews are supposedly worth it. I'll try again on a weekend!

Interesting micro-pub, located directly across the road from the 'spoons Crown Hotel. The small bar area at the front and larger room further back are both more modern in appearance than one might expect, but not in an incongruous way. Three real ales on handpump, being the 'house' Anchor Ale, Hop Shed's Equinox pale ale (£3.80) and Yachtsman's Ale from the much-more-distant Island Brewery
