Missing pubs? Closed down? Incorrect details? Please tell us! Remember: visit them, score them, enjoy, report back… Members should rate their beers at http://www.rbcamra.org.uk/kidderminster/index2.php or on the National Beer Scoring System using their CAMRA ID and password at http://www.beerscoring.org.uk/index.php
If you are taking notes and intend to add your scores at a later date, you’ll need to know:
- Date of visit
- Pub name
- Score (0: keg/undrinkable – 1: poor – 2: average – 3: good – 4: very good – 5: perfect)
- Any additional comments
What do the scores mean?
0 No cask ale available or so poor you have to take it back or can’t finish it.
1 Beer that is anything from barely drinkable to drinkable with considerable resentment.
2 Competently kept, drinkable pint but doesn’t inspire in any way, not worth moving to another pub but you drink the beer without really noticing.
3 Good beer in good form. You may cancel plans to move to the next pub. You want to stay for another pint and may seek out the beer again.
4 Excellent beer in excellent condition.
5 Probably the best you are ever likely to find. A seasoned drinker will award this score very rarely.

Pingback: More updates to the pubs page | Kidderminster CAMRA
The Rock Tavern, Caunsall has been closed for several years and is I believe under planning consent for changing into flats. This isn’t the same pub as the rock Tavern, Stourport.
Talbot, Hartlebury, although closed, is one of ours because it’s on our side of the dual carriageway.
There has always been confusion with the Red Lion at Arley over whether it is ours or Bridgenorth’s. The problem arises because half of it is in worcs and t’other bit in whatever their county is. I think at the last count Bridgenorth had it. But it’s closed anyway.
Yate’s wine Lodge is now Carters.
Thanks Glenda. Funny thing is, I was on the end of the table t’other night where there was a debate about the Talbot and which side of the 449 it was on! Some thought it was R&B, others ours, who knows
Carters, that was it, you wouldn’t think I pass it most weeks. Couldn’t remember the name. Next to the butchers…!
Milligans is closed and is now flats but King Billy is still open
You may wish to add The Golden Lion in George street Kidderminster DY10 1PX
Thanks,will do!
I believe that Olivers Bar (Lower Mill street) is now called Illusions
Does anyone know if this still a ‘pub’?
The Outback (Stourport on Severn is closed
The Park Inn (Stourport Road) is scheduled to be demolished to build Vets and Pet Store
