Ye Olde Black Cross, Bromsgrove

This Bank's house celebrated it's 375th birthday this year. The interior consists of a small front bar with seating along the front windows and a raised area over in the corner. It was only until we ventured into the rear lounge, where we came across a huge carpeted room, with an open fireplace, a covered well and original exposed timber beams. There was another enclosed lounge across the corridor. Four ales on handpump, Banks Bitter, two from Hobgoblin and a Ringwood Fortyniner. The Ringwood was in fair shape, overall a good traditional pub.

Great place - good mix of young and old. Music is it's blood with great bands and atmosphere. Friendly and a good selection of beers and the best fish and chip shop next door! If your up for a cracking curry - that's the other way! Overall a no nonsense, honest pub where you'll have a great night.
