| Large hotel-like pub that was hosting a wedding reception when we were here on Saturday. This was another Marstons establishment with Pedigree, Pedigree New World, Banks's Cereal Thriller & Leatherbritches Porter. I opted for the porter, which was good. There is a nice outdoor patio at the back, with a garden sloping off to some more tables. There is also a small childrens' play area. Reasonable pub. blue_scrumpy - 25 May 2015 18:41 |
| Shenstone Brew Company's Hop Easter Beer and Doom Bar were on offer yesterday, the former rather thin and not at all moreish. I wasn't sure what this pub was trying to be - Laura Ashley-style floral wallpaper feature walls in places but pistachio green-painted embossed 1980's wallpaper on other walls. When I looked at their old photos, it was easy to understand how this used to be called a hotel rather an inn with the difference in atmosphere that the two types of establishment offer. paul_d102 - 7 Apr 2013 16:09 |
| Have just been staying in Fenny Bentley and went to the Bentley Brook both nights. Only had one real ale on - Martsons Pedigree - which was good enough but am used rather more of a selection these days. Was looking forward to some Leatherbritches but brewery is no longer on site apparently though still supplies beer occasionally. Food was poor - chips with everything and quality not great. On the plus side the outdoor area is great if you've got kids and staff friendly enough. Overall would say could be a lot better! cerberus - 4 Aug 2011 21:40 |
| Called in during the late May Bank holiday beer festival, very good selection of mostly local beers in a marquee in the garden. Advertised and operated a token system, but then confusingly took cash as well - surely one or the other would have simplified things. Although not busy at the time of our arrival, it made things a little slow and a bit frustrating as we had diligently bought tokens only to have to wait as people asked for pints, then didn't know you could get tokens and wanted to pay cash, leading to little stand-offs until it was resolved. Didn't get into the pub itself and didn't eat, so that will all have to wait for another time. Gristy - 7 Jun 2010 11:02 |
| Gave this place another go on halloween 2008, as staying in village. Totally different experience to last visit. Had a great time. Pub had a good atmosphere with bar decorated, special menu, etc. Only complaint was portion size of food was small for cost. ospreyontheroad - 11 Feb 2009 14:40 |
