Black Boy, Bewdleyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Friendly barman, snug pub with a sizable beer garden. I indulged in Ludlow Gold, a refreshing smooth pint.
As Bluescrumpy has pointed out this Black Boy is not the one featured in the picture, that one was previously called the Bewdley Hotel, the barman was polite & efficient in a comfortable pub with a smoking area at the front, I had pints of HPA & Butty Bach both nice pints.

Bewdley has two pubs called the Black Boy. I will primarily review the one on Wyre Hill. Wyre Hill is a residential street away from the main road. I wasn't expecting the pub to be open on Sunday lunchtime. But it was and it was doing a roaring trade. It's a great example of a locals' pub with conversation, decent beer and bar snacks. There are 2 rooms - one at the front, with a corridor leading to a smaller bar at the rear. Listening to the conversation, I got the feeling that this has recently changed hands and things have very much changed for the better. Everybody was really complimentary about the pub reverting to a more traditional atmosphere. The barmaid (possibly owner, I don't know) was really friendly. Bewdley Worcestershire Way, Hobson's Champion Mild, Ludlow Gold & Wye Valley Butty Bach were the ales. We went for a couple of cobs. They had ham and tomato, bacon, black pudding and tomato and cheese and onion. All had generous levels of filling. They also had Scotch Eggs, sausage rolls and pork pie. The oldest and nicest pub in Bewdley. Others had better ale ranges. But I really enjoyed my visit here. 7/10. As the other Black Boy on Kidderminster Road near the river is not listed on here (although the picture above is that one), I will briefly mention it here. It re-opened last month. But it felt a bit too new for my liking. There is a large main bar and a small snug in the corner. We sat next to the open fire in the bar. Ales are Wye Valley HPA & Butty Bach, St Austell Tribute & Bewdley Worcestershire Way. 5/10 for this one.

I would not stay here again as a hotel, no hot water dusty rooms etc, however bar was fine nice atmosphere well kept beers. The meals here were excellent and very good value for money, staff not that bothered about complaints.....

This picture shows the Black Boy Hotel. These reviews are all for the Black Boy (which looks much nicer than the hotel). I'll echo many of the comments already posted. A clean, tidy, friendly little local, serves Banks original plus a regular changing guest. A tidy featureless garden at the back but with a great view.

This is a proper pub - good beer, nice atmosphere, no frills but excellent. There aren't enough pubs like this any more.
|
A cracking pub for well kept beer.The Landlord has several cellarmanship awards and the beer is always in tip top condition.
|
Nice friendly local with good regular ales and a changing guest. Log fire in lounge in winter. Beer quality is always excellent.
|
A real small, friendly local pub with a good selection of exceptionally well-kept real ales including guest beer. No food (only snacks). Real fire in winter. Separate bar, lounge and snug; there is also a small beer garden. No loud music.
