Attractive canal side pub. 6 ales on - 2 from wye Valley and 4 from the Green Duck brewery. I went for the Green Duck Session and it was fine. A must do in Stourport.

Ha - my local, so I suppose I ought to review.
The current owners have just celebrated their 10 year anniversary. Its no exaggeration to say they saved the town but doing the basics very well. Exceptionally kept beer that is just about the cheapest I find outside spoons. Butty Bach currently £3.80. Decent food, cobs, pork pies. Live music everyday of the weekend.
There was simply nowhere to go for a decent pint before they took it over. As a result of the "grey pound" coming back out, other pubs have come from the ashes (Swan), upped their game considerably (Hollybush, also in GBG). We even have a micropub and a brewery in town.
The building is actually three terraced together - a front cottage. An old chapel and where the kitchens are, a former school. Decent outside patio.
Now a freehouse, its still has close ties with Wye Valley. All theirs on and usually LocALE breweries such as Ludlow Gold and Fownd from Kidderminster.
Always busy. It shows the demand is there for a well run pub.

An impressive Wye Valley owned pub by the canal, bigger than it looks from the roadside as there’s a long side alongside the canal, it’s a popular venue for food and drink. One long room with a central servery, there are different beers at each end, four from Wye Valley one end next to a low T-Bar of dross, the other end has six pumps with a selection of smaller brewery beers including Castle Rock and Hobsons plus more keggy stuff. Simply decorated inside it’s quite neat and relaxed, possibly the best pub I visited in Stourport, although the Bird in Hand may be better.
