EXCELLENT Based on 306 reviews Posted on Google Dr15 August 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Whippet Inn Micropub in Lichfield is a little treasure and well worth seeking out. It's small but large on atmosphere, quality products and great service. A friendly welcome awaits and despite it's compact size the interior is quirky and stylish and it's clearly loved by both the staff and it's clients. Highly recommend a visit.Posted on Google Blake15 August 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely cobs and drinks friendly staff and a nice vibe and atmosphere the seating was my only problem but I am taking into consideration that this is a micro pub other than that very good. Dog friendly as wellPosted on Google Iain9 August 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A real gem in the heart of Lichfield. Great beers that are always changing. The atmosphere and people are super welcoming. Tony and Apple are second to none. The place is brilliant and without doubt one of a kind. You don’t see these kinds of places that oftenPosted on Google Daniel19 June 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

This is the spot to go in Lichfield. Small but well curated selection of interesting beers served by knowledgeable people, in a comfortable and quaint environment. The owner is extremely friendly and a great conversationalist. Will return with my wife sometime in the future when inevitably I'm back this way again.Posted on Google Matt17 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Decent little pub. We popped in while doing a crawl. It’s small and was busy luckily the weather was good so we took our drinks outside. I’m a cider drinker and there wasn’t much choice but I was ok with what they did have. Good to see these micro pubs doing well.Posted on Google Holly26 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Decent micropub, with ales, lagers, ciders and various spirits etc. Friendly staff. Fairly small though, so you may not get a seat!
