Moat House, Tamworth

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Moat House

The Moat House is an unusual find in Tamworth. Situated a little out to the west of the town centre, it is a splendid listed mansion with an interior every bit as impressive as imposing exterior. The two staff members seemed a little surprised when a a group of 14 of us walked in. It was suddenly all hands on deck.

There are 4 handpulls, which were dispensing Church End Goat's Milk, Titanic Plum Porter & Enville Ale. A fourth handpull was unclipped. Bag-in-the-box ciders were Lilley's Mango & Pina Colada.

Inside is a little more compact than it looks from the outside but there are 3 or 4 rooms, all with plenty of character. The bar staff were both quite hospitable, one of them giving us QR codes to scan to find out about the history of the building. The other barman was keen to tell us about Tamworth's other pubs. Wifi can be accessed by obtaining a code from a machine at the bar.

This place has very limited opening hours, only being open on a Friday evening and Saturday from 1pm. However, it's well worth adding it to any pub list if visiting the town when it is open.
