Blackpole Inn in Worcester

Ah, the Blackpole Inn, what a lovely little spot it is in Worcester. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the staff really stand out – they're always smiling, quick with a joke, and make you feel like part of the gang straight away. It's got that classic pub charm with a solid range of beers and lagers to choose from, and if you're into your sports, you're in for a treat with all the big matches on the telly and a crowd that's up for cheering along. Plus, it's easy on the pocket, so you can enjoy a few rounds without thinking twice. On the downside, it looks like it's currently closed, which is a bit of a shame if you're hoping to nip in for a quick one, and if sports aren't your thing, it might come across as a tad focused on that scene. All in all, though, it's a cracking place for a casual get-together or even sorting out a function – I'd say give it a go when it's open; you might just find your new favourite local haunt.
