The Bedwardine St Johns Worcester

Head out towards St Johns and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that makes Worcester feel like a proper place to live, not just pass through. The Bedwardine does what a good local should: it's got the beers worth talking about, the sort of food that doesn't apologise for itself, and a crowd who know each other's names without it ever feeling cliquey. On Bromyard Road, it's become the kind of spot where you bump into the same faces week in, week out—the ones who've decided this is their place. It's lived-in and genuine, the sort of pub you'd want within walking distance of your house.
