Hop Pole, Droitwich

Now has six hand pumps . All in use when visited ,the Batham's bitter was as delightful as ever and a guest beer from Fauna Brewery , Arundel - Bushy Tail - a 3.8% best bitter was an ideal beer to start with on a lunch time. A good variety of snacks available , cobs,pork pies,scotch eggs etc. Well worth a visit.

Fine old pub, with a somewhat remodelled interior that still retains various small rooms / side areas and hence some character. Busy on a Wednesday evening when many others in the town were quieter, with a pool competition drawing quite a crowd when I visited. Also has a covered terrace with a patio beer garden beyond at the back. With all five handpumps in use, the selection was a pair from Wye Valley (HPA and Butty Bach), the Sovereign coronation beer from St Austell, Time Valley's Best Shot and Woodcote Oatmeal Stout (£3.60).

Excellent pub in the old part of town. Wye Valley HPA and Butty Bach on along with Nice Tackle (for the 6 nations Rugby). We had the HPA which was the best pint we had all day. Excellent service. Well worth calling in.
