Holden's Black Country Mild at the Weighbridge, Alvechurch


Found on a quiet corner of the village, the Weighbridge is a gateway to many an adventure. It’s not just a pub, it’s an embarking point for many people who set off on canal boat journeys. The pub itself is quite small. It used to be a post office then got converted into private offices for the boatyard staff before being opened as a private club and then as a public house. Misleadingly, its entrance is around the back of the pub, so if you’re arriving by foot from the road then the bar staff know you’re coming! There’s an outdoor area which offers an extension to the main pubs for large groups but this area can be changed accordingly. A small corridor leads inside past the kitchen and into its rooms. There’s a large lounge to the left and a smaller cosier lounge at the bottom right with a cosy snug. All this is served by a tiny bar in the corner.
