The Bell, St Johns, Worcester

Inconspicuous as you approach, but rather bigger inside than the façade would suggest. The plainly furnished but well-lit bar is located to the left as you enter, with a sliding door of the central corridor. Two comfortably old-fashioned side rooms on the right-hand side, and a function room to the rear. Four real ales available on handpump, with a half of Worcestershire Way coming in at £1.50. With its traditional features, worth the walk from the city centre.
