I've been a regular patron of this gem of a place from its opening night. Very intimate, and friendly, with a fantastic variety of beers and ciders, and a hard core of characterful regulars, plus a passing trade that is often charmed enough to pay further visits. One can see this from other reviews. Ged and Ade, the owners, really know their stuff, so all credit to them and to their lovely people.

RSPB Middleton Lakes

Reviewed By TrayFish - Rugby, United Kingdom

This nature reserve is truly beautiful.There is much to see and we spotted some great-spotted woodpeckers on the bird feeders which was delightful; we saw green woodpeckers and reed buntings sitting in the reeds. Amazing to see the birds up close and amazing to see them feeding out of your hand if you’re lucky. Not just birds to see though: we spotted a rat beside the river and a miniscule mouse in the woodland. If you are looking for a place for a calm relaxing walk THIS is the place.Also, the walkways are very clear but advise you to bring wellies on a muddy wet day. Lovely to see such are wide range of wildlife around this area and nice to see the wildlife in this fresh, clean area of land which is kept by the kind,helpful RSPB helpers around this ground. DEFINITELY coming back back and I advise you to because it is a truly wonderful place to see wildlife up close.

Now our current favourite place!! You get to sit around such rich history. There is the herringbone wall that is over a thousand years old. During social distance they’ve totally managed it fantastically with a traffic light system, table service, regular updates on their Facebook page. All the staff seem really happy to work their and George is clearly passionate about his little gem! You would forget you’re sat in tamworth, it’s picturesque idyllic and great beers!!! I do not personally recommend pear and chilli, it’s a-bit of a marmite love it or hate it. I highly recommend pineapple cider! I’m not even a cider drinker but I highly recommend This place. If you’re stuck for choice they do a really clever board with 3x 1/3 glasses of ciders to try Also do wines, gins and ales. I would like to try the tamworth gin next time. Got yourself 2 new regulars.

St Editha's church in Tamworth puts on Christmas trees decoration by various groups every November, usually the third week, and the imagination of decorations and themes are well worth the visit. There is also tea and cakes available on some days of the week.
