The seasonal menu includes hot drinks-some including alcohol and some not-ranging from Winter Warmer Mulled Wine to Mis Amigos Chocolate Cream Tequila Liqueur coffee, to Salted Caramel Luxury Hot Chocolate. All roasts come complete with gravy. Loaded with new serves, crammed full of notes, hints and subtle nods to seasonal twists and changes, the bar also offers Kraken Coffee Roast Rum accompanied by Fentimans Ginger Beer. To be sophisticated, keep it sophisticated with a glass of Mis Amigos Chocolate Cream Tequila Liqueur, served over ice or keep it traditional with a glass of fizz and Chambord.

You can have two scoops of vanilla flavor, chocolate flavor, vegan vanilla flavor, lemon curd sorbet, or frozen strawberry flavor yoghurt topped with strawberry or chocolate flavor sauce. The bar offers a selection of craft beers, refreshing lagers, classic cask legends and surprises.

Landmarks nearby include Worcester College (0.5 km), Diglis (1 km), Edward Elgar Statue (0.3 km), Worcester Arts Workshop (0.5 km), Cathedral Square (0.3 km), The Commandery (0.3 km), and the Museum of Royal Worcester (0.3 km).

“A stay here means stepping back into the 13th century, with all the quirks and charms that come with it. This coaching inn boasts a prime spot near Worcester Cathedral, making it a good base for city exploration. I think its dedication to cask ales and seasonal menus adds a welcome local flavour.”

really comfy stay in a great location

central location helpful staff varied choice
The hotel has a great central location near shops and the cathedral, it was very convenient. the super nice team, especially when they gave us a ground floor room because of our doggy pushchair. This was much appreciated. the breakfast offered a lovely and varied choice. i loved the sausage they gave our dog and that we could eat together in a separate room.
The reception on the tele was a bit dodgy on bbc1. But everything was great.

This place has a very central location right in the heart of the town near the cathedral and shops. That was amazing. a public car park is a three minute walk and reasonably priced. everything is within walking distance.
