Hidden away between the villages of Belbroughton and
Chaddesley Corbett lies the Robin Hood at Drayton, a rural pub with a lot to
offer. Their well-kept real ales have caught the attention of Redditch and
Bromsgrove CAMRA, who have decided to commend the pub as their Autumn Pub of
the Season. There has been a pub on the site since 1825 and the lounge itself
has mostly been unaltered to create a cosy retreat for drinkers. The bar has
been extended into the original storeroom to create a restaurant. Chef Kerry
Wynn serves traditional pub food alongside Trina Jelfs, while cellar man Jon
Roberts (pictured left) is in charge of the bar. Jon says that the Enville ales
that he stocks are very popular; and there’d be a riot if those beers were to change!
He also offers Hobsons Best Bitter, Holden’s Golden Glow, and two beers from
Wye Valley; all of which are well worth sampling.
