Black Country Ales always do a nice interior with the seating wrapping around the staple shaped bar.

Not much change here since my last review. The question of ‘how do BCA pubs manage to keep so many cask on?’ was perhaps answered by good-enough-but-not-stellar portions of Salopian Golden Thread and BCA Pig on the Wall which both trotted in as an NBSS 3. Good crawl fodder - I like the feel of the place, but the old ‘pinnacle of the brewers art’ isn’t perhaps to be found at its summit here, despite the GBG'24 listing.

April 2019
A BCA place, fairly new on the Worcester beer scene having previously experienced a number of lives as low-grade dives. Staple shaped interior with a quite cosy, tidy and traditional feel inside (wallpaper and carpeting); what you’d expect from BCA though we noticed there was not a massive amount of seating despite the pub’s size. The usual large ale line-up you anticipate in BCA outlets, though the quality of my two choices - Halton Turner Hornblower and Enfield London Porter – were solid rather than spectacular (2x NBSS 3). Cobs available, which always gets a mark from me. It’s a solid addition to the city centre. Rated 7

A cosy looking Black Country Ales house done out in their traditional decor. You enter into the tap room ,L shaped following the bar with upholstered bench seating and a glowing real fire at one end.Along the long side of the bar are more benches in sections while the rear area is larger .Flatscreens were showing World Cup football but with muted sound.
There was a very friendly welcome from the Irish landlady and the ale choice was Black Country Fireside,BFG,Pig on the Wall (NBSS 4),Plum Pig (NBSS 4),Citra Sublime with guests Brew XI,Salopian Oracle and Hop Back Entire. That a decent line up and mix of styles so this pub should not be missed on any ale tour of the city.I would happily return to this proper,comfortable ale house.
