Dog Inn, Water Ortonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Traditional pub with decent real ales. Spot the old Ansells sign painted on the roof, and the Ansells squirrel in the glass in the right-hand room. Garden with play area,

I was in the area yesterday, so called in at "The Dog". A change of land lady since my last visit.
Was made very welcome. Some work been done inside and out.
If I lived local, this would be a regular stop for me.
The beer well kept. The regulars state that the food is of a good standard at a fair price.
This pub is well worth a visit.

I have very fond memories of this pub. Back in 1974 Wilf Jeffreies with Margaret ran the pub, I asked Wilf for a job one night and worked for them for years he sacked me many times I was back behind the bar the next shift. We were friends for years.
Then it was a locals pub that was before the M6 & M42 I think the last bus from Birmingham was 23.00hrs.
The pub was in the winter always had an open fire in both rooms. We often had a bonfire on what was the old bowling green.
I find it impossable to pass, I drink in the bar and I still feel the welcome in the place and I would recommend that you visit. The village got some good walks still.
The pub and village have a lot of history around. Come out of the pub cross the road go up the hill ( the old off license was there) turn right at the top you will find a almost lost road.
