This pub in Lower Howsell Road has an ingoing cost of £5,360 for a self-employed manager, with no rent payable.

There’s a log burning fire and a number of TVs to show sports. Findmypub.com says there’s a strong wet trade with the opportunity to increase food sales thanks to a recent housing development nearby.

There’s also a substantial outside area with children’s playground and large car park.

Other management opportunities around the county include the Oak Apple in Spetchley Road, Worcester, the Railway Inn in Droitwich and the Little Pack Horse in Bewdley.
