Hanbury Turn

A stroll from home to this Black Country Ales pub. Great service. Guy behind the bar knows how to serve a pint of Pig on the Wall. Other beers available. Pleasant atmosphere. Large babs on sale with “help yourself salad”. Outside seating available.

This pub is a real treat. Excellent ales (and a fantastic selection, too) plus some excellent cask cider, friendly staff, and really nice decor and seating areas. I've passed Hanbury Turn many times, but never actually stopped for a cheeky one. I'm happy I did! The gaffer obviously knows his cellar, and the regulars seem friendly. Clean loos, nice outdoor area (despite being by a main road) with fresh flowers and good quality picnic benches, and it looks like they do accommodation as well... so if you fancy doing ALL the pumps, you can even stay the night! We'll be back, and next time, I'm not driving! I'm looking forward to trying the food... Menu is basic, but if the size and quality of the cobs is anything to go by, it will be pretty impressive!

Booked to stay here via a known 3rd party booking site.. So I take part responsibility for what I now write.. But I do feel perhaps more interaction from staff would've helped.. Especially as I had also emailed location and had communication about arrival time.. Anyway.. Shown to room, and as far as actual room decor and bed, no problem.. Very well decorated.. Ensuite had a small issue because the toilet was directly opposite the towel radiator, so we had to sit awkwardly to use it.. Just a little strange concept and not best for passing No2... Now, having enquired about food, we were advised by venu that they didn't actually do main meals, just cobbs, pork pies etc etc.. So not a problem, there is a fantastic gastropub 5mins down the road walking.. So we all enjoyed a fabulous meal & drinks there instead of using this location.. So, now the frustration part.. The £85 room rate doesn't include a breakfast.. So I didn't read booking form right then.. And you must book breakfast ordering the night before so venue can organise it.. So, couldn't staff mention that on our arrival to pay for accommodation...? Or when we returned before going to bed after having a drink at the bar?? We asked what time was breakfast in the morning?, why didn't they say something like you've not ordered any breakfast... Anyway, we left on time as you must be out by 10am the following morning.. For us, the £85 wasn't really good value for money..at just room rate.. Add breakfast. You're now almost £100 And I judge this opinion on the many locations we've stayed at worldwide that for less you get a far superior room and breakfast.. The following evening, we stayed somewhere else at £5 more, with a larger room, with far superior ensuite..4poster bed, veranda , nice decked out area And that charge included breakfast.. So I understand a pub with rooms has to make a living, but the cost just wasn't justified in our opinion.. Staff were very polite, no issues there.. Would we stay again when visiting the area ? Sorry.. It's a NO...

We're lucky to have a traditional real ale pub as our local, and I must say, it's an absolute gem. There's a great selection of real ales, ciders and a relaxing fireside atmosphere that is perfect for unwinding after a long day or on a rainy day. Gary, Helen and the team always make you feel at home with their friendly and attentive service. Gary is a remarkable chef and really knows his way around the kitchen. His scotch eggs are out of this world, and his Sunday roast meat cobs with roast potatoes, pigs in blankets and real ale gravy are divine. They also offer a variety of meal options and theme nights throughout the week, including fresh bar snacks and quiz nights etc. Prices are very reasonable. If you're looking for a cosy pub with a good choice of real ales and ciders, a welcoming fireside atmosphere, and delicious food, look no further. Gary, Helen and the team have created the perfect local pub.

We are a walking group and visited the Hanbury Turn pub near Bromsgrove following a long walk up and down the Worcester Birmingham Canal. What a delight - and what a great pub !! There were a large range of beers available, including a good selection of Black Country Ales, and we all opted for an enormous cheese and onion cob each which was really fresh and full of cheese - with an option to help oneself to a range of pickles, salads etc. The landlord was extremely friendly and made us all very welcome. Good one - proper pub - we scored it nine and a half out of ten on our report sheet !!!!

What an absolutely fantastic place for a beer and a Sunday roast bap with all the trimmings. Excellent food, excellent service, and a friendly welcome at The Hanbury Turn Thankyou to the Landlord and his Team
