EXCELLENT Based on 300 reviews 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.

It's a tight squeeze but that's the charm as you can join in with the conversation or just enjoy a quiet drink. Small but interesting selection of beers. Just enough snacks to keep you going. One of the best pubs in Lichfield.Posted on Google Ian26 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
