The Nursery Tavern (Chapelfields, Coventry)

The pub takes its name from Thomas Weare, a local nurseryman and seedsman whose gardens once stood nearby. A licence was first granted in 1852, and by 1854 the site was known as The Nursery Tavern. Through generations, it became a true community pub, known for its welcoming atmosphere and local following.

Its distinctive position amongst the terraces makes it one of the area’s most recognisable landmarks, close to the well-known Earlsdon and Craven Street pub circuit.

The Nursery Tavern will become the first Black Country Ales pub in the city of Coventry, joining our growing estate of traditional, community-focused pubs across the Midlands.

We look forward to carefully restoring the building, preserving its heritage and character while bringing it back to life as a community hub specialising in real ale

The Saracen's Head (The Tything, Worcester)

The Saracens Head stands on The Tything, close to Copper Beech Brewing Co, opposite the Dragon Inn, a Church End Brewery pub, and only a short walk from Worcester Foregate Street station. It is a well-known local pub with a long history in this busy part of the city.

The pub includes a traditional skittles alley, adding to its character and appeal for local groups.

Black Country Ales is seeking a new licensee for the Saracens Head. This is an opportunity to run an established pub in a thriving city, with a real chance to shape it and help it thrive, supported by the brewery to maintain its heritage and welcoming atmosphere.
