Inauspicious from the outside, with a dodgy render and paint job, with three letters missing from the pub’s name on the outer wall. Staple shaped interior, the right hand side was judged to be the better area, with a classic pub carpet and turquoise curved bar. Two ales on, GK OSH and Three Tuns XXX which was a commendable NBSS 3.5. Worth a nose if you’re on an extended crawl of town or fancy something a bit different as a one-off.

Always complete an Xmas walk into Kiddy for a pub crawl. Since last year, I have tried to add a previously unvisited Kidderminster pub onto the route. Last year, it was the Peacock in the Horsefair. This year, the Golden Lion.
Working out how to get in is a challenge. The first door encountered on the right is locked up. I could see a gent returning from the loos through the glass, so tried the second middle door. Success, and with no vestibule, you are thrown right into the action. Nearly onto the Oche of the dartboard.
Open plan surrounding a central bar. There were some workies playing darts and a couple of mothers with their babies in the opposite corner.
Barman was incredibly courteous and despite my reservations, the cask was better than I would have expected. Marstons house - so the usual Wainwright/Hobgoblin but i tried the Bewdley Brewery Baldwin IPA. It was in very good condition.

Decent back street local with 3 beers on. Wainwrights, Three Tuns and Hobsons Old Prickly. I went for the latter which was in good shape. Glad to have called in.
