Classic and relaxed place for a drink. Often cycle here, done well to let going post Covid given location and opening hours.

My wife and I used to pop into this pub quite often before we had children....we always enjoyed this lovely historic pub and its warm atmosphere. After taking our children to the afternoon church service at Paddlesworth on Christmas Eve we thought we would have a drink in the pub. We went in and there were a few people drinking at the bar. We stood there waiting to be served and eventually the landlord appeared and told us he was closed. He then told us that the people drinking hadn't left despite him telling them that he was now closed. I asked him if we could perhaps just have one quick drink and he started to get a bit agitated and said "look I don't want to swear in front of the kids but I'm getting P'd off here". We wished him a merry Christmas and left. Such a shame as this was once a fantastic pub that always would have been welcoming, and doing a thriving trade on Christmas Eve.

Lovely quite, remote pub. Background music. Very reasonably priced drinks. Don't serve food anymore but that is fine. If you are looking for a cosy pub that is excellent value, You must visit.

A simple old fashioned boozer. No food ( crisps) but excellent beer and nice people. If you can find it well worth a visit
This place no longer serves food,no draft bitter, no welcome, most unfriendly, had to go elsewhere for food, your review is out of date.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Katie and her boss who recently opened the pub especially for us so that we were able to celebrate what would have been my father's 100th birthday. My grandparents were previous licencees of the pub and The Cat held a very special place in my Dad's heart. Thanks to Katie coming in on her day off we were able to spend a very special time showing our own grandchildren a little of their family history. Thank you thank you thank you.

We recently had reason to visit The Cat. We were travelling frim Scotland and Birmingham especially for our visit. My grandparents were licencees of the pub many years ago and we wanted to visit on what would have been my father's 100th birthday. As this was on a Monday the pub would not normally be open. The lovely Katie and her boss agreed to open especially for us so that we were able to go inside and remember my dad and show my grandchildren a little of their our family history. We can not thank them enough for their hospitality especially Katie who came in on her day off. To say she went over and above great customer service does not do justice to her. Thank you Thank you Thank you. You really made our visit so special.
