St Austell Tribute at Steps, Redditch

Originally known as the Bell Inn, this pub had a makeover just after the millennium and became a trendy chrome bar. There’s a variety of comfortable lounge seating near the entrance; and a long bar in the corridor allows for locals to lean over and catch up with the events of the day. Towards the end of the pub is a space for a dance floor with a narrow corridor for the facilities. In the past they’ve had a beautiful beer garden. Trees, decking, glass tables and sunbed-styled chairs made for an impression that you were abroad; with each table having its own roped-off section. In the middle was a beautiful fish pond. In recent years this has been scrapped; either due to maintenance or vandalism issues. Instead they’ve built an awning which created extra inside lounge space and overlooks a smaller second bar. The ale’s been quite good in recent years and has known to occasionally surprise us; though often it’s from a national brewery.
