With the village fete going on, Kemerton was perhaps a bit busier than it would normally be. Although having said that, it didn't look like too many customers in the pub would be going to the fete.
You enter to find the bar on the left and a dining area to the right. The bar has a slate floor, wallpaper, a mixture of seating and a stone fireplace with a TV above it showing a British Lions rugby union game, for which a few locals had gathered to watch and were blocking the bar area.
The dining room has laminate flooring and all tables had condiments on them. There was a specials board on the wall, but there were no food customers. A door off to the side led to a courtyard garden and accommodation, whilst there are also a number of tables on the roadside to the front.
On the bar, HPA & Butty Bach are the regular beer. 2 other handpulls were clipped with Tribute & Bass. Camden Pale was the most adventurous of the keg offerings. With no real cider, the keg choice was all Weston's - Stowford Press, Stowford Press Dark Berry & Vintage. The pub is listed in the 2025 Good Beer Guide.
Trivial Pursuit cards and dominoes can be found on a shelf next to the bar and there is a wifi password provided above the bar. Children are allowed in.

Arrived in the 2024 Good Beer Guide and has taken me a while to get down to the far southern edges of Worcestershire to check it out.
A terraced country pub in the main street. Parking on the road. Showing the battle that pubs have, there were no other customers on a Friday lunch time. Yet the coffee shop a couple of doors down was full.
A wye valley house that carried four cask hand pulls on. With the turnover, one would quetsion whether Butty Bach and Bitter were needed. The same with Gold Rush and HPA. Similar pints and a 50% reduction maybe would have resulted in better quality. Only one visit, but my Gold Rush was tired and in no way worthy of the recommendation. My local is Wye Valley and I know how good their beers can be.
A shame, as the food menu was good value and the service excelllent.
