The first Bathams pub of the weekend and we were pleased to see all three of the brews on. Opened in 2017, it’s quite modern and bright inside, an open-plan staple shape done-out in creams and browns. There’s enough cobs available to warrant a special menu. I went for a pint of the Mild which was in good form (NBSS 3.5). Not a classic Bathams place but solid enough. 7.5

Converted from offices but looks traditional inside and out. Only thing I would change is the too bright and harsh lighting. Leccy meter must be spinning like a top.
Of course, the beer is excellent. Full house on a Tuesday evening and everyone (apart from a child) was drinking the Bathams Bitter.
Added a walk from the pub to my list at my blog - http://bit.ly/2pNLPRs - so you've got a chance to work up a thirst before going in :-)

Batham's newest pub is their only one that hadn't originally been a pub. It opened last September on the same day as the new Holden's one in Bridgnorth. Although it was offices prior to the brewery taking it over, the building and the adjacent ones look as though they were built as houses. This house would be described as large detached but inside consists of a single roughly square room which isn't very large for a pub. The drinking area wraps around a fairly large serving area, presumably for more busy times than my early Thursday afternoon visit. There is a modern wood floor adorned with some large Batham mats depicting the familiar bull that is their brewery emblem. The decor is largely modern including ceiling lights but there are some light fittings that seem to have been made from battered old copper. One big plus is that there are no TVs and no music.
As noted below, the two sets of three hand pumps had the Mild and Best Bitter. I had a pint of the mild (£2.45) which was in superb condition followed by a few of the Best (£2.75) which was just as good.
This is a new departure for Batham's and they have done a great job. Hagley is a place with few pubs so I bet the local population are pleased to see it. It doesn't match up to their older multi-room pubs but I'll come back here next December during the "Quest for the XXX".
