Another cracking Black Country Ales pub. Very busy on my Wednesday lunch time visit. Almost every customer seemed to be enjoying a cob - and so did I!
5 guests alongside the usual ales and my pint of Wombat was excellent. This pub is obviously the hub of the local community and long may it continue.
Well worth a visit.

Look like its had a recent makeover by the Black Country Ales. In their corporate colour scheme and immaculate paint job outside.
Typical traditional BCA feel inside - with the same sort of unusual beers that you come to expect from them. There was also a very comprehensive list of ciders - which are kept outside.
Busy on a rainy saturday afternoon and lovely to see.
Good Beer Guide 2022 Entry.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Cross Inn
Attractive and welcoming village inn with an unusual polygonal floorplan featuring a traditional bar area at the front and a similarly furnished side lounge (both with a good selection of local history photographs). Also has a small rear beer garden. Now run by Black Country Ales, with three of its beers featured on the seven of nine handpumps in use, plus Beowulf's Black & Blueberry (£3.45, and thankfully not cloyingly fruity) and three other guest beers from AJ's, Backyard and Hydes. Well worth the walk from Bromsgrove station.

The freehold has been bought by the Black Country Ales chain. Should be open again soon.

Nice pub that has not had too many alterations made to it over the years. Sells real cider.
