A very retro local inn (Grade II listed), a couple of minutes up the hill from town. A number of traditional seating areas on a couple of levels wrapped round a side bar. Loads of old drinking mugs hanging from the beams (more than the Mug down the road!) and plenty of country pub ephemera including a nice selection of framed pictures of old Bewdley. Traditional feel enhanced by a lack of piped music/TV, just a ticking clock. Unfortunately the place was near-deserted on Sunday afternoon so the lack of background noise did rather count against it. It’s a long-standing GBG entry with all the old ‘we are in it’ posters up on the wall. Three ales on and were all quite local, Ludlow Gold, Three Tuns Bitter and St Georges Gold. Also some Cider and Perry. Good selection of bar snacks and a new one for me – lemon & chilli crisps (which were hot!). A nice little place, shame it was so quiet and I hope it gets busier in the evenings. Another good Bewdley pub worth making the effort to do.

I agree with Andy, this was also our favourite pub in Bewdley. The pub is out of the way of the hustle and bustle of people down by the river, so if you want a friendly chat with the owner, with a quality ale to hand, then this is the place to visit. The owner has a sidekick named Oliver, the pubs trusty dog, who likes a drink of ale from time to time.
There were four ales on handpump and after trying the Kinver Light Railway and the Three Tuns 1642, this was a hard pub to leave. The owner's missus is Russian, so the food she cooks is authentic and top notch from hearsay. Disappointed we didn't eat here on this visit after reading the menu.

I recently drank at the Woodcolliers and frankly I was not impressed. My friend spilt a little beer on his table and the Landlord went over the top, complaining away and producing a turpentine spray which he used under our noses, taking several minutes to slowly, agonisingly, clean up the mess while we sat there in a very awkward silence. The scent of turps is not at all palatable, and it was clear from his belligerent attitude that he did not want our clientele. What made it worse was that we were staying at the Woodcolliers, it also being a B&B.

I'll stick my neck out and say that this is my favourite pub in Bewdley. We got there at 5pm on a Friday afternoon and our initial disappointment at finding it closed was quickly overcome as the gaffer was just about to open up. It's traditional in style with some nice copper topped tables in the lounge. Other rooms were set out for dining.
Cask ales were Kinver Crystal, Kinver Light Railway, Three Tuns 1642 Bitter, Ludlow Brewing Co Gold, Hardy's. There was also Hardy's and Hanson's Mild on tap - which I enjoyed.
I've been here before several years ago. If there's one pub in Bewdley that I would make a point of going back to this would be it.

An irregular shaped cream rendered corner pub, with small patio. In the GBG 2010. Also does B&B accommodation and proper food!
The pub has four areas; a lounge, a bar and two small dining rooms (one with a dart board in - though i assume the diners move out!). The decor is white artes with wall and ceiling beams. We went in the lounge, where there was a nice brick fire, dried flowers on the ceiling, lots of old photographs, copius amounts of jugs and tankards handing down and brass ephemera - in essence, a real traditional place. The bar had a wood floor and the same ephemera, plus an old bottle collection. The service was really friendly, we had a good chat to the owner. The cientele were a few diners and a couple of locals. There was no music or TV.
Beer; tap stuff, with Hardy's and Hanson's MILD - cold as it ever is, but still nice, along with Kinver Edge Crystal, Ruddles Country and a nice Woodcollier's Bitter (brewed in conjunction with Ludlow Brewery) on handpull.
Class - the best of the three GBG pubs we did in Bewdley. I look forward to the day of return!
